A Beautiful Sound

We don’t have to be young to get your head right
If there’s a move and you’re looking for something new, Just keep an open mind
Now everybody wants in. There ain’t no hard line
Making good on a 25-to-life and blow it open wide
It’s a beautiful sound we’ve been waiting to hear
We are more than ready
A suffering few that keep it alive
Nobody move, don’t turn away
Now we’re off and running
It’s a beautiful sound we’ve been waiting to hear
If just a couple kicked in, we’d get our act down
It’s not enough to keep waiting for someone else to go another round
We could stumble the walk and have a good time
While we carry the load that we signed up for to the finish line

Say What You Mean
03:32
|

|
A little less conversation, a little more room to breathe
Back up, give me just a minute
Got my motivation. Got no place to be
Right here and I want to take it
You gotta let it out before we get down
You gotta let it out and say what you mean
Make it clear when you talk to me
I got your invitation. Whatever you want from me
Sit back, I need time to see it
Found my inspiration hidden in a mystery
About time that I finally freed it

Broken Lines
04:03
|

|
You got to put it all behind you, or you’re going to find yourself alone
Whatever’s going on inside you has left you far away from home
Whatever keeps you grounded
These broken lines you leave behind will never fade away
They don’t forgive, they don’t forget
And broken lines will still remind you when you lose your way
Don’t make those promises just yet
If there’s a way for you to break through, you got to find it on your own
They’ve got a bid to overtake you soon. If there’s a chance then find a way
To get out of this godforsaken place
Whatever keeps you grounded
Chorus
So don’t turn around
You’ll find you’re losing ground on what you left behind

Too Much, Too Soon
04:12

Young life. Young dream.
Tough kids don’t want to talk about tough things
They fall. They fight.
Decorated face live in black and white
They don’t want to live forever
Fell in and they’re trying to break free
These days all bleed together
Once more might bring them to their knees
Too much, too soon. But if it feels right, they won’t be coming home tonight
Too much, too soon. But not too much to lose
Young look. Young scene.
These punks don’t mess around with anything
Cold heart. Cold night.
Pretty painted visions with an appetite
They don’t want to live forever
Time moves and they’re trying to break free
These days all bleed together
One more might bring them to their knees

Sucker For Money
04:28
|

|
I’m taking off into overdrive. Angelina is still alive
She is right here, and I am right here
Other people get left behind. Used up and set aside
If it’s over, then I guess it’s over
You’re out, I know
But I’m not letting go I told you
So if you think you got me down
You’re never getting me out of here
Cuz I’m a sucker for money
You’ll never keep me away again
Cuz I’m a sucker for money
I’m coming back to wipe away another knock on another day
And it’s alright if you think it’s alright
And in the afterglow tonight, another weekend socialite
Taking faithful to the firelight
It’s not too late
And I might hate what’s going on here
But you never knocked me down
Chorus
This ain’t no two year blues
I got a little bit more I can get into

You're Mine Tonight
04:25
|
|||
|
It’s late and I know
You’ve got me under spell and I should go
But we’re here and you say
You’re gonna blow my mind if I do stay
And we talk like we’re gonna get away with it somehow
So we hide in the mellow bar light
The evening gets shorter, but the feeling takes over
We say a few lines and we slip away
So at night we hide. In dark we come alive
We don’t call it love, but you’re mine tonight
So at night we hide in the cover of these lies
We don’t call it love, but you’re mine tonight
Your face on my brain
Has got me so confused that I can’t think
And I wait for your sign. Excited just to see you in the street light
And I know I should have walked away from it long ago
So we move in the middle of the night
Chorus
It’s late and I know
You’ve got me under spell and I should go
But we’re here and you say we’ll be fine in the shadows

I Killed Your Love
04:23
|
|||
|
You had me but I killed your love
You won’t leave, so I killed your love
Let go my broken queen, into the sweetest dream
You’re headed home tonight
I killed your love and said goodbye
I’ve done everything to make everything
Just like we talked about, but we took it nowhere
So here we go again. A little too far again
You tried to tear me down but now that it’s over
I’m not cut out to be your man
No one can if I can’t
Chorus
Here’s what I’ve got for you. You’ll find comfort soon
Tonight I’ll set you free if you just surrender
I’m sorry that it went this way. I told you there’s a price to pay
Let downs and sour dreams are gone forever
Pre-chorus
Chorus
I’ve done everything to make everything
Just like we talked about when you were still around

It's Over
04:53
|

|
You can get on the telephone making all your secret moves
We’re the ones who made it worth the time
You’re not getting it on your own. You’ve got way too much to prove
If you’re feeling tough enough tonight
What comes around is nothing we can’t live down
It’s over. Run for cover, run for cover
It’s over. Take a number, another number
It’s over. Someone better draw the line
You came in on a fantasy with your plans laid out at night
Company man hanging by a string
We could get there eventually if we all just fall in line
Pull together banging what we need
Pre-Chorus
Chorus (repeat)
