I can't wait to play the show today I can't wait to play the show Yeah we probably drove all day To the city where you live And we'd like to get to know your local soda pop and chips And we hardly know a soul In this new city and so Could we sleep upon your couch or floor? It's only till tomorrow

Some days stress you out and I can't always be there But I want you to think about me and know that I still care So I sat down with my guitar and I played the only chords I know So you can sing along any time you feel alone Here's a song for you A song just for you To help you find your way back to Me and you A song just for you No one can play these chords, no one can play in this key It's all yours and I'll play it with you if you need some accompany Here's a song for you, a song just for you We can play it if you want to Me and you A song just for you And one day if you decide you need someone else in your life I won't hold you back but I can't say that I won't try But if you leave me all alone, a goodbye pen to a note You can remember me with this little tune I wrote Here's a song for you A song just for you No matter what we're going through Me and you A song just for you

Cold Hands 03:46
Chicago, I hadn't seen you since you left for Chicago Now you're a New York City baby You're dropping names you new would sway me It's hard now, since you last saw me yeah life's hard now I'm just a wreck but then you knew that You just neglected to acknowledge But now you're here and so am I And I'm not leaving with some other guy What's you're number? I wanna see you before your flight Cold hands You read the lines in my cold hands Did they tell you I was worth it or nothing at all? Was it just a stupid trick to try to get me to fall Were you waiting by your land line for me to call Or just forget it all? Meet me, if you're not busy baby meet me At that cafe on University And we'll play catch up, it'll be sweet I'll pry, I wanna know you more so I'll pry I'm trying to find a reason not to Not to get involved with you Cold hands You read the lines in my cold hands Did they tell you I was worth it or nothing at all? Was it just a stupid trick to try to get me to fall Were you waiting by your land line for me to call Or just forget it all? You got strange, I gotta tell you man you got strange You went from open to aggressive And I'd just hoped you'd get the message I tried to let it fizzle, honey I tried Knocked on my door I said, "I'm with him" And you said nothing Cold hands You read the lines in my cold hands Did they tell you I was worth it or nothing at all? Was it just a stupid trick to try to get me to fall Were you waiting by your land line for me to call Or just forget it all? And I forgot you even kissed me Until I wrote this song

I wanna sing a serious song Because I definitely know how to do that I want the coolest kids to think that I'm cool Because there's no point in being better than that So let's go play a show We can show them the songs we know And maybe get laughed at Or the crowd will talk back We'll go home and be alone No more nights out on the road Well I don't want that No I'd be so sad Don't think I could handle that So I'll just go on Singing some serious song I've seen tens of faces and I've underwhelmed them all No way I'll grow up to be a rockstar But I don't think that I will grow up at all Don't want to be disappointed by what dreams really are So let's go play a show We can show them the songs we know And maybe get laughed at Or the crowd will talk back We'll go home and be alone No more nights out on the road Well I don't want that Yeah I'd be so sad Don't think I could handle that So I'll just go on Singing some serious song Can't you see I don't know what I'm doing? So here it is, my serious song Hey in the back, why are you smiling? Well I hope that you think that I'm cool Why else would I be here yelling at you?

Soothsayer 06:35
The curtain opened to start I got caught up on my entrance Little John pulled me out of the ribcage My mother was using to keep her alive and bring mine I came to be in the sun Playing outside with the sticks and mud Trying to save every poor baby bird Abandoned and alone till they took their last breath in my palm I'd drop the bird and watch it fall Its fragile body still and cold And feel the fear replace my joy How could a young thing so soft and new return to lifelessness so soon so Soothsayer you can't soothe me with what you find I'd rather see my own future in time No I don't want to know how I am gonna die No I don't want to die And when my teacher told to me One day the whole of humanity Would have to relocate to a neighboring planet I panicked, life wasn't romantic on mars It was the first time that I felt The heavy load of mortality Brushing its elbows against me Eternity an old friend that I couldn't quite recognize at the start And I screamed in the night My heart raced like a fire Was growing behind Swiftly out of control, I didn't want to grow old Soothsayer you can't soothe me with what you find I'd rather see my own future in time No I don't want to know how I am gonna die No I don't want to die Don't make me gaze into that witch's eye I don't want to know how I am gonna die I don't wanna die And here I am decades passed The last few years have flown by so fast I've seen a country or seven it's heaven To take life by the horns when the devil inside you says stop But it's till in my thoughts I see my body from the outside a lot Betrayed by my brain all that I can survey is my time Have I misused the moment and how many more have I got? So please pour me a drink When I'm not feeling much How I'd rather feel something divine Than think about nature's design Soothsayer you can't soothe me with what you find I'd rather see my own future in time No I don't want to know how I am gonna die No I don't want to die
