Track Name: Leap Of Faith
Look at you sitting there, in your plastic chair
And look at me fall apart everywhere
Slow it down, slow it down, slow my heart down
Take a step back, breathe…

How are you? You look great. Hey it’s been so long.
Where’s the time gone? Up in a 90’s bong.
I’m ok; it’s amazing that we could be
In the same town, in the same crowd

Slow it down, slow it down, slow my heart down
Take a step back, breathe…

I built a wall and you walked right through
Like you didn’t have a thing to lose
Four days later I am calling you…on a leap of faith

I like your smile, the way you wait a while
To call me back, give me a heart attack
This ain’t me; you know I’m catching hell
I keep your messages on my voicemail

Slow it down, slow it down, slow my heart down
Take a step back, breathe…

I built a wall and you walked right through
Like you didn’t have a thing to lose
Four days later I am calling you…on a leap of faith
I built a wall and you plowed right through
Like you didn’t have a thing to prove
Four days later I am calling you…on a leap of faith

(solo)

I built a wall and you plowed right through
Like you didn’t have a thing to prove
Four days later I am calling you…on a leap of faith
I built a wall and you plowed right through
Like you didn’t have a thing to prove
Four days later I am calling you
Laughing and I’m bawling for you
Everyday I am falling for you…on a leap of faith
Track Name: Shimmer And Glow
You shimmer and glow
How would I know?
It’s out of my bed
With stars in my head

Yeah, your low rider jeans
And things in between
I’ve waited a long, long time
If you know what I mean

It’s out of my hands and it out of control
The picture is ripped and the stories been told
How you shimmer and glow

For 3.95, I came alive
I waited all day my love
Just to get it right

Yeah, I know what you mean
I read what they said
How would they know your life?
Or what’s in your head

It’s out of my hands and it out of control
The picture is ripped and the stories been told
How you shimmer and glow

(solo)

(breakdown)

You shimmer and glow
Track Name: Have It All
I remember you, do you think of me
You look my way and I buckle
I can barely breathe
I want you back; it’s my daily reprieve
I trade it all for you, what’s little left of me
C’est la vie

You can have it all, the covers on my bed
You can drink the booze; I quit it when you left
You can have my jeans, my Westerberg CD
You can have the watch my grandma gave to me
You can have it all

Take it all; take my gear and my strings
Muscle up to the face it was never meant to be
While you’re at it, take my dreams and my sleep
Take the baby that we named, that never came to be
C’est la vie

You can have it all, the book that rocked my world
The coins that I kept, yeah that cute little girl
You can have the pictures of everyone I love
You can have my skin, my soul, my blood

You can have it all
Track Name: 4 South East
It’s a bad, eighties song on the radio
I’m drivin’ into town, to let you know
It’s good to be gone; it’s great to be home

4 South East, that apartment
It knows secret things
Drink it up, my drunk love
It’s embarrassing

It was bad to feel gone
It’s good to feel home

Drivin’ by your house, I’m a little shaky
It has been so long, I’m a little scared
But if I know your heart, I know you’ll be open
What am I waiting for?
Go get the one you love

I remember smiles at me every morning
And when you talked, you made me feel so important

It’s bad to feel gone
It’s good to feel home

Drivin’ by your house, I’m a little shaky
It has been so long, I’m a little scared
But if I know your heart, I know you’ll be open
What am I waiting for?
Go get the one you love

(solo)

Drivin’ by your house, I’m a little shaky
It has been so long, I’m a little scared
But if I know your heart, I know you’ll be open
What am I waiting for?
Go get the one you love
Track Name: Big Dreams
Woke up so cold, I’m tired and I’m late
Into my car, to a job that I hate
I could be wrong, like the soul next to me

Got a list in my head of things I gotta do
I’m jugglin’ time, I’m barely making do
I march along with the crowd in front of me
I keep thinking this is crazy…

What if twenty years go by, in the blink of an eye?
And I’m doing the same thing
When twenty years before, I was opening doors
I could do anything
What happened to my big dreams?

Now is the time, I’m thirty years old
The job that I hate, is just down the road
And I think I know, to do differently
Keep thinking this is crazy…

What if twenty years go by, in the blink of an eye?
And I’m doing the same thing
When twenty years before, I was opening doors
I could do anything
What happened to my big dreams?

(solo)

What if twenty years go by, in the blink of an eye?
And I’m doing the same thing
When twenty years before, I was opening doors
I could do anything
What happened to my big dreams?
Track Name: Paper Heart
She was a drink, inside of me
And that apartment was getting small
A terrible chill, I couldn’t sit still
My first love was a drug, that’s all

My paper heart loves paper dolls

My dirty genes, I couldn’t stay clean
I’m amazed you loved me for so long
My drunken talk, my drunken walk
Everything goes, when you know you’re gone

My paper heart loves paper dolls

(solo)

It’s good for my heart, if you just stay gone
I will think about moving on…

My paper heart loves paper dolls

She is a drink inside of me
Now I’m punchin’ holes in her living room wall
I will never feel safe, I will feel sane
So long lover, all the good shit’s gone.

My paper heart loves paper dolls
Track Name: Circles
Guess I’ll cancel that trip for two
Hike my ass down the Avenue
And dial your number again

Maybe I’ll come in another life
I’ll come back and get it right
I will know you again

Then I come into another day
The sun rises and it feels ok
To run my circle again

Maybe I never told you, my love has no end
Baby, I never owned you or tried to pretend
It’s just me running in circles again

Are you coming with me?
Are you gonna save my soul?
Are you coming with me?
If so, then when?

(solo)

Maybe I never told you, my love has no end
Baby, I never owned you or tried to pretend
It’s just me running in circles
It’s just me running in circles
This is me running in circles… again
Track Name: Sweet Marie
I wanna buy me a bike, and ride away
I’ve got some money that I have saved
And I’m ok, no, I won’t be late
I don’t want to talk, talk about it
The way I figure, this is shit
And I’m ok, no, I won’t be late

All of my life you make me sing, sing, sing
And all of my life you’re a part of me
It’s a bitter sweet thing, sweet Marie

This could be it, this could be real
Or it could be way overkill
It’s a walk in the park on a cloudy day

This could be wild, this could be fun
Or it could be way overdone
I don’t care. I don’t care what they say

All of my life you make me sing, sing, sing
All of my life you’re a part of me
It’s a bitter sweet thing, sweet Marie
All of my life I’ve was singin’ your songs
All of my life you were singin’ along
It’s a bitter sweet thing, sweet Marie

(solo)

I know you put your trust in me
I know, I know,
I know you sing my songs
I hope you sing along

All of my life you make me sing, sing, sing
All of my life you’re a part of me
It’s a bittersweet thing, yeah
All of my life I’ve was singin’ your songs
All of my life you were singin’ along
It’s a bitter sweet thing, sweet Marie
Sweet Marie, sweet Marie, sweet Marie
Track Name: Miracle
It’s the first time I wasn’t scared
You drove me home, I cut my hair… I knew
It’s getting better now

Feels good, I think I’ll call
Leave a message and laugh a lot for you
It’s getting better now

Cause I’m working on a miracle here
Yeah, I think I got one more left
Working on a miracle here
And I don’t want to lose you yet

Hell yes, you think that’s cool
When I sing and play those songs for you
Wouldn’t be here now if I didn’t care
I walked alone, a bit uphill
It’s getting better now

Cause I’m working on a miracle here
Yeah, I think I got one more left
Working on a miracle here
And I don’t want to lose you yet
Track Name: Good To You
If I drive all night I’ll make it to your place
And god I hope you let me in
Though I’ll never really understand
Where I have been

Hey the letter that I wrote your sister
Every word, I swear it’s all true
Though she’ll never really understand it, I do.

And said, what are we, what are we gonna do?
And said, what do I, what do I mean to you?

Send me a confirmation; tell me everything’s all right
Cause I got my pen and paper, I feel like writing tonight
Everything’s just fine, as long as I’m good to you

And the night that I drank the bourbon
That night that I was so sad
I know that I left you hurting and I was mad
But I know that we had some good times
And good times were meant to last
Though I’ll never really understand it
I was thinking of you

I said, what are we, what are we gonna do?
I said, what do I, what do I mean to you?

Send me a confirmation; tell me everything’s all right
Cause I got my pen and paper, I feel like writing tonight
Everything’s just fine, as long as I’m good to you
Track Name: Pieces
I watch you
I see you, fall down on your face again
And you just lay there
It's all the same; it's all the same

But you're scaring me
I can barely see
Stop scaring me to pieces

And I can't live like this
There are so many things I would miss
I call you; I call your name,
And then climb another fence

Would I -if you- yes I would, I'd be right by your side
But I won't watch you throw your head up to the sky

Stop scaring me
I can barely see
Stop scaring me to pieces

If I could I would be, and if I was there I don’t wanna see
If I would I would be, yes I'll always be there

Stop scaring me
I can barely see
Stop scaring me to pieces
Ohhhh you're scaring me
I can barely see
Stop scaring me to pieces
Track Name: Shaky Hands
Damn these shaky hands that touched you all the time
Damn this shaky heart that loved you all the time

I don’t want to stay here forever, just because I can
Damn these shaky hands

And damn this stupid heart, cause it maybe could have been
Now I don’t get to see my baby again

I don’t want to stay here forever, just because I can
Damn these shaky hands

And damn these shaky hands that touched you
And damn these shaky hands that loved you
And damn these shaky hands that do just, what they want me to

(solo)

And I don’t want to stay here forever just because I can
