Nobody Knows

Is it too lateTo do it again
Or should we wait
Another ten
Nobody knows
Everyone cares
Everyone's askin'
For answers to prayers
Well, you never know
How it's gonna go
No one ever knows
How it's gonna go

For answers to prayers
Well, you never know
How it's gonna go
No one ever knows
How it's gonna go
How many times
I heard you say
Every hour
Every day
Nobody knows
Nobody says
Anything really
That hasn't been said
Well, you never know
How it's gonna go
No one ever knows
How it's gonna go

Should Be Gone

We’re heading out
Don’t hesitate
We’re moving on 
So don’t be late
Oh oh
Should be gone
Been too long

Bring up the past
Like yesterdayTry to recall
What was so great
Should be gone
Oh oh
It’s too long

Oh oh
Oh oh

Again Today

My mind and my heart
It felt like miles apart
I turned around and looked away
Dark clouds a-rumblin'
Great wall was crumblin'
I turned my back and walked away
And we are in too far to find the way today

Too many thoughts collide
Look for a place to hide
That made it hard for me to stay
Red light a-shining down
Blocked off that part of town
Everybody went away
And we are gone too far to find the way today

And we are in too far to find the way again today
And we are gone too far to find the way today

When You Know

Every time I see
Looking back at me
See the signs of life
Wonder what's inside

Open your door
One more time
It's not that
Hard to find
When you know

Try with all your might
He can't take all that
Maybe then you'll know
Long before we go

Open your mind
Let it beIt's not that
Hard to see
When you know
When you know
When you know
When you know

Open your door
One more time
It's not that
Hard to find

When you know
When you know
When you know
When you know

And you know
As you know 
When you know

Later On

Where they are
In the yard
And it’s dark
In the park

Later on
When we're gone
We move on

Stay behind
Don't even try
To make me smile
For a little while

Later on
When we’re gone
We move on

Way Down

Every time I start to wonder why
Then I see the look that's in your eye
Feel alright about the things to choose
Looking back tomorrow only knows

Going down
Way down
Head down
Way down

When you find the peace about to fall
Take a look around and see all
Try to find the way to take control
Now it's time before it takes its toll

Going down
Way down
Head down
Way down

Going down
Way down
Heading down
Way down

Morning Comes

Way before your call
I don't mind at all
Where you want to be
That's all right by me
You know things are gettin' better
It will be sooner than you thought and
I know we'll get it all together
You'll see all you really wanted

Night comes in my room
Could not be too soon
Morning with the light
Then another night
You know things are gettin' better
It'll be sooner than you thought and
I know we'll get it all together
You'll see all you really wanted

You know things are gettin' better
It'll be sooner than you thought and
I know we'll get it all together
You'll see all you really wanted
You know
That's right
This time
All right

Change your mind

You believe what you believe
That's all right it's fine with me
And when it's time to ask why
Don't bother wasting your time

You can change your mind
Happens all the time

You can take some good advice
If you do it right, might do it twice
And when you're saying goodbye
Know that you really did try

You can change your mind
Happens all the time

Running along
Coming on
Love is wrong
That's enough
Coming on
Coming on
Fast enough
Fast enough
Pass it on
Pass it on
Rise above
Rise above
Running on
Running on

Here Before

Everything look familiar
Like I’ve been here before
Another one in a million
Another knock on the door

Slowing down turn a corner
See the world flying by
Didn’t say it was easy
Never said we didn’t try

Take a look around
Turn another way
It’s not like before
Not like this today

It’s okay
It’s alright
Another day
Another night

Time is right

Gotta do something
Get in with the crowd
Do what you want
For crying out loud
Another trip, another key
Another dip into the sea
Of endless possibility
The time is right
For us to feel the
Time
Right
Now
Tonight

Stay out of trouble
Take care of your name
Playing it forward
Stay in the game
Find a way without a plan
Make each day as best we can
Something for the world to see
The time is right
For us to feel the
Time
Right
Now
Tonight
Time
Right
Now
Tonight
All right

Bluer Skies

On bluer skies I can depend
The moment I saw you again
How many times I called you friend
I never cried for what might have been

Don't wait too long
Only love will hold on

Do your time till eternity
Before I lie do one more thing
The time is right for lying on the ground
While waiting there don't make a sound

Don't wait too long
Only love will hold on
Only love

Only love (ba ba ba ba)
Only love (ba ba ba ba)
Only love (ba ba ba ba)
Only love (ba ba ba ba)
Only love
Only love
Only love

On and On

How many times
I heard it before
Do it again
Do it some more
Hey-na-na-na-na-na-na

You want it
You like it
Get ready
You're waiting
All rightOh yeah
Come on
All right

Buildin' it up
Follow the plan
Tearin' it down
Fast as we can
Hey-na-na-na-na-na-na

You want it
You like it
Get ready
You're waiting
All right
Oh yeah
Come on
All right

On and on
Same old song
On and on
All night long

You want it
You like it
Get ready
You're waiting

On and on
Same old song
On and on
All night long

So Far

It’s ok
It’s alright 
Now it’s time
To say good night

And the waiting
Getting longer
And the feeling
Any Stronger

So long
So far
How long
How far

Now this time
Is almost gone
And my mind
Is running on

Does it matter 
Crazy feeling
On the way down
Find a reason 

Get ready
Too long
It’s easy
So far

So long
So far
How long
How far
