Sophia 05:22
She has dark hair that falls in curls down her neck She laughs all the time and never lets us forget that we are alive Seasons obey, When we're together, time stands still Whatever words I say, she cleverly plots a play, her heart's forever filled The First time I met Sophia, I couldn't recall her name but I promised to remember, and never let go again She had dark hair that fell in curls down her neck She had bright eyes that never let me forget when she was alive Memories go wrong, I must be forgetting, what I’ve seen Blinding my sight, blocking out some things, in between Everyone knows Sophia, Everyone knows her name I’d love it if you could meet here, But, she’s not around today Staring out the window, the bus was going home keeping mostly to myself but she wouldn't let it go Hey there mister I hope that I'm in luck Have you seen Sophia? She used to ride this bus. I said "Yes, I knew her", even so I couldn't smile. "I used to spend my time with her, but its been quite awhile... now" How did you know Sophia, How did you know her name? Tell me everything that you remember, Did you know that she’s gone, away Sometimes when the sky is grey and the winds portend a storm On the edge of night in day the air is soft and warm Just like on that fateful day since when nothin's been the same I swear I can hear her voice just before it starts to rain And... then it starts to rain, And... she’s gone How do you know Sophia, How do you know her name? Tell me everything that you remember, Now that she’s gone Tell me, How do you know Sophia, How do you know her name? All I can do is remember, Now that she’s passed away Tell me, How do you know Sophia, How do you know her name? Tell me everything that you remember, Now that she’s gone Tell me, How do you know Sophia, How do you know her name? Tell me that we'll remember, Now that she’s gone, gone, gone, gone, gone How did you know Sophia? Sadness is never planned, When our life is shattered, its just where we land.

Gonna Do 02:45
One day I made a plan I was gonna take a stand So many days I gave away But today was in my hands What’cha gonna do, What’cha gonna do today What are you gonna do What’cha gonna do, What’cha gonna do today What are you gonna do They tried their very best To raise a family, were put to the test Before they knew it, in no time at all The kids were grown up and out of the nest What’cha gonna do, What’cha gonna do today What are you gonna do What’cha gonna do, What’cha gonna do today What are you gonna do Why not start over Start movin forward Look out onto your world And see what you find She gave her heart away And tried her best to make him see But today she held her breath And declared at last that she was free What’cha gonna do, What’cha gonna do today What are you gonna do What’cha gonna do, What’cha gonna do today What are you gonna do Today I’ll change the plan I'm gonna take a stand So many days I gave away But today is in my hands

Together 03:59
When you’ve got some troubles, don’t sit and cry at home And if you go out dancing, don’t ever dance alone Its friends you need, in times like these, to help you ease the pain Soon they’ll have you smiling and on your feet again, Hey! I go, she goes, he goes, they go, wherever friends go, they go together I go, he goes, she goes, we go, when we laugh they know that we’re together When you’re off and traveling, far away from home and find yourself in a bar drinking all alone There’s sure to be some friendly folks who'll make the devil pay Soon they’ll have you smiling and send you on your way, Hey! I go, she goes, he goes, they go, wherever friends go, they go together I go, he goes, she goes, we go, when we laugh they know that we’re together Hey there stranger, why don’t you come along You know when we’re together, nothing can go wrong, Hey! I go, she goes, he goes, they go, wherever friends go, they go together I go, he goes, she goes, we go, when we laugh they know that we’re together Tonight we’ll go wherever she shows, don’t matter who knows, when we’re together Tomorrow we’ll head wherever he says, we won’t get no rest, when we’re together Get up in the morning, Drooling and yawning, Stuck in a downpour, without any warning, Singing and dancing, Crying and laughing, Fighting romancing, Making a grand scene, Shouting and sighing, Singing and crying, Hello and goodbye-ing, Living and dying… We’re in it together

Special Way 03:19
I was lost and afraid, Not so easy to find I been hiding away, And biding my time Now I'm looking for you, Cause I made up my mind There's a special place, I want you to find - Want you to find Got somewhere to go - Finally seeing the signs Just loosen my hold, it falls into place Looking back at life - moving forward in time to create a future I'm willing to face - and I gotta face I wasted the day, I waited online, I was given to take, I was taking my time, But it makes me smile, when I hear her say, "you've got a hopeless heart" , She's got a special way ooh ooh ooh, special Let your worries fade, things will be just fine The only facts to face are these dreams of mine We can just believe and things will change, This rainy day will be a beautiful place - Our beautiful place I wasted the day I waited online, I was given to take, I was takin my time, But she smiles at me, when I'm miles away, And it steals my heart, She's got a special way She has a special way

I remember a time, When I wasn’t satisfied Left everything that I knew behind Place to place I wandered, Wasting time without a Plan Youthful days squandered, Thinking everything was Grand My life stared back at me, Had to admit I was running From things I couldn’t see, But they kept coming till I took a stand Gotta stand, gotta stand, gotta stand and fight Along came a starling, Sweet lady of my dreams Built me a nest, As comfy as can be Broken ways fading, New life at hand Puttin’ aside old memories, and ghosts But if those ghosts come a knocking I’ll stand Gotta stand, gotta stand, gotta stand and fight Days are getting longer, And the sun is riding high Sitting on my porch, When a pickup truck slowed down Out stepped a man, Grinning wide Clouds blocked the sun, Hell I could run but instead I’ll Stand Gotta stand, gotta stand, gotta stand and fight

Broken 03:00
Here I am, Restless and bored Did someone say "Poppy's around"? You Know, what the Hell Maybe I'll try her, Today Bitter sweet Hopeless romance The summer just passed me by Forsaken my friends I always had you On my mind Wanna dance? Under grey skies The autumn leaves swirl around Tumbleweed thoughts Pondering, You, Let me down! Here I am Broke and Alone [ Broken Alone ] The feeling is already gone I wait for the snow And dream I can sleep In your arms

To be Loved 05:06
My love is broken and I can't fix her but I love her and I miss her, so much I keep trying to mend her heart but she's resisted right from the start, please let me in who knows why she couldn't cry and though I love her so somehow she thinks I'm saying goodbye we haven't spoken she doesn't call but I hear that she's hurting afraid above all - of missing me someone in her past led her to believe that if somebody loved her they were planning to leave - her - from the start who knows why she wouldn't cry and though she loves me so she'd rather die than let me know It's OK if you need me there I'm not afraid and I won't let go you're not alone in this world don't let no one tell you so you're so beautiful believe me when I say you truly deserve to be loved

Undertow 03:51
Hang your head down low, Gone to a place, Nobody knows, Hidden in disgrace Take a look around, Where you gonna go, all that you have left, Only this one road Like everyone you know, caught in the undertow, waves break overhead, trying to hold your breath, - For so long Don't hang your head so low, People only stare, Nothing they can do, This is your own affair Don't believe - in fate, Or leave it up to chance, Go out and find your voice, So that you might - understand That everyone you know, in the undertow, struggling to breathe, chooses to stay or leave - on their own Shake yourself awake, You can reverse the tide, And when the wave begins to break, Just enjoy the ride Your head begins to spin, now you're steppin' in, it won't take very long, to find out that you are, Strong Everyone you know, there in the undertow, surfacing to breathe, had everything you need-ed, - from the start - all along Hold your head up high time to get it | right from the outside in build another life

Big Belly 03:30
My Belly’s full I’m Feeling warm inside Gonna rest my head I’m Gonna close My Eyes Take Me Take Me Away Take Me Take Me Away Throughout the years Time has been on my side But now I find There's no place to hide Take Me Away Take Me Take Me Away Take Me My Belly’s full All my friends are near A sense of grace descends on me My disposition is clear Take Me Away, Now You Can, Take Me Away Take Me Away, Now You Can, Take Me Away I'm ready - Now! My Belly’s full I’m Feeling warm inside The time has come.. Now, For me to close my eyes
