Just Being Honest

V1
Do I need to sleep you off?
Like a shot of bronze
Am I living in a dream
That I'll soon regret?
Do you whistle while we work?
While we break our backs
When you made us in your eyes
Did you drain your heart?
PRE
Open the door for me and mine
Open the door for me and mine
Seems like you're gone
Say that I'm wrong
HOOK
I’m just being honest
V2
My son's living as a ghost
My soul, face defeat
My friends say I'm going mad
My Lord takes a seat
TAG
Just be honest with me now

Bumped My Head

V1
I forgot how to talk to you
I got a word yet my lips don’t move
I know we spoke just the other night
Your new look doesn't fit your vibe
We used to have good times didn’t we
We used to have good times didn’t we
HOOK
I musta gone and bumped my head
Cause I don't know you anymore
forgot what you said
Or if you spoke at all
oh I know I should know your face
But all trace of you has been erased
I musta bumped my head
V2
When I talk does it move the world?
Can I make you do things you won't?
Does your molecular structure change?
Will you listen if I say your name?
Once upon a time, very dearest friend of mine
Once upon a time, very dearest friend of mine

Sit Beside Me

V1
Believe me when I say
Things are going wrong
The weather's always rain
I hate my favorite songs
I forget to drink
I don't have time to eat
Should I see a shrink
Or should you come see me
HOOK
Come sit beside me
Sit beside me
V2
In a crowded room
I'm never more alone
In a busy life
All I want is home
Love can be defined
By a simple thing
Just pull up a chair
And don't say a thing
BR
I got a seat if you want it
Cause all I need is to be wanted
No I don't ask to be applauded
Just every now and then thought of
V3
That old memory
is a killer yet
We do not refrain
to fill her up
I remember when
everything was fine
I remember when
You were by my side

Fight Fair

V1
I heard you had a baby
Life won't let him be a man
Why don't people understand?
Isn't it confusing
That making new life is a chance
Birth is a lottery
CH
Life don't fight fair
When you're down for the count
It punches you out
Life don't fight fair
When one person thrives
Another survives
Life don't fight fair
V2
Words are what we live on
But now that fate is stealing yours
You can't catch a single breath
Pretty soon you'll realize
As life becomes more beautiful
The uglier it gets
TAG
Life don't fight fair
So I won't fight fair

Upside Down

V1
When he was a child
He couldn't wear
His hat to church
All the girls would dress
With checklists and
Approving dads
He took it all in
He didn't know why
Kids don't think solo
They think in packs
Now he wears his hat
And he don't believe
God wants to brawl
CH
His whole world is flipping over
Flipping, flipping till he's seasick
And he's so sick of being upside down
Yeah he's flipping upside down
V2
When the apple climbed
Back up the tree
And hung itself
That is when my world
Began to tip
Began to flip
All I was sure of
Fell to the ceiling
All I grew up on
Left with a bluster
But one thing remained:
The story will begin again
CH2
My whole world is flipping over
Flipping, flipping till I'm seasick
And I'm so sick of being upside down
Yeah I'm flipping upside down

Rewind

V1
Can there be peace on earth for just a minute?
Can I just get a breath so I can finish?
Every time I sit down I get up again
Every time I laugh I feel a cry coming
Can we please hit the pause for just a second?
HOOK
Oh can we please rewind?
V2
Do you remember when we loved the summer?
Do you remember sounds of autumn singing?
But we have been dropping like the flies we are
Yes we have been falling like the men we are
Do you recall we used to know a thing or two?
