What I'm Doing Here I must applaud the impeccable timing of your decision to leave Abandon all our dreams As it tears me apart at the seams. You've made your choice But my brother, I can't silence the voice. It's the only thing I own, The closest thing to home And it keeps me from being alone With these screams. When what you want is gone Do what you can to stay strong. Keep on singing along. When what you need is hope Do your best to keep afloat. Keep on singing your songs. It's what I'm doing here. Well, I hope you're right but it feels like a Saturday night That's gone too far Spent too long in the bar And we've ended up in a knife fight. But I wish you luck O my brother, I can't cover up Just how bad I feel, This is so surreal But I guess it's all part of the deal Anyway... When what you want is gone Do what you can to stay strong. Keep on singing along. When what you need is hope Do your best to keep afloat. Keep on singing your songs. It's what we're doing here.

Tall Tales 03:26
Tall Tales I'd write a song about myself but it's more fun to pretend that I'm someone else so I can tell tall tales. Celebrate success. Ignore the fails. But you're right. You're right, I'm not right. But I will fight every day of my life to get some sleep tonight. It's been like this for years, write a song and fight back the tears. But you're right. You're right, always. But I'm still here And I'll face my fears, But deep inside, I'm paralysed When I feel you draw near. So, what do think? Was it cold down there? How far did you sink? Did you see me down there? Were you well-prepared or were you scared? It's alright, it's alright Always. Because I'm still here And I'll face my fears But deep inside, I'm paralysed When I feel you draw near.

Last Song For You I was angry at the start, never thought it would fall apart. I thought love was a work of art. But then, I looked at you, saw you didn't have a clue about the hell that we'd go through. You couldn't care less. So time said 'take a chance', It's the last stop for romance A victim of the circumstance. But I didn't look, I leaped, thought I landed on my feet but I fell in far too deep and now I'm stranded. I hope that you can tell my sincerity as well as my deep regrets. I hope by now you know sometimes that's how it goes. This is our last dance. The last song for you. Now time brings with it change, new rules to the game and I don't know how to play. I'd be happy staying sane. I hope that you can tell my sincerity as well as my deep regrets. I hope you're happy now. I hope by now you know sometimes that's how it goes. This is our last dance. The last song for you. You're still priceless.

The Village Idiot The village is missing it's idiot now I'm so far from home. I'm dreaming. I miss the beer bottles and the pointless brawls but it's time to let it go. Let it go. Hold the sunrise 'til we're gone. I'll send a message from the road. It's the only life that we know. Hold the sunrise 'til we're gone. Now I've got a plan, get together with my band. It's time to hit the road, dreaming. I dream of Transit vans, eating beans straight from the can. It's nothing, but it's our own. At least it's our own. Hold the sunrise 'til we're gone. I'll send a message from the road. It's the only life we know. Hold the sunrise 'til we're gone. The village is missing it's idiot now I'm so far from home, I'm dreaming. I miss the beer bottles and the pointless brawls but it's time to let it go. It's time to let it go.
