Verse 1:
One of these days, One of these nights
One of these pieces will fall into place… One of these times.
I've stories to tell, Learned a thing or two
I've fallen from grace And I woke up in hell… and made my way back to you

Chorus:
Don’t wait till tomorrow, there’s no perfect time
The only true sorrow, is when a moment slips by
Don't wait for the perfect hour,  there’s no time like now.

Verse 2:
The harder I try, the farther the view
But life races by In the blink of an eye when I'm here with you
Last time I lost, 	next time I’ll know
Whatever it takes, whatever the cost, this time I won’t let you go.

Chorus:

Bridge:
It’s about time, that I realize
That I realize, can't let this life, pass me by...

Verse 3:
If this is farewell, If I have to choose
I will just tell them to all go to hell, cause I'm in heaven with you

Chorus:

No Time Like Now

Verse 1:
Last call, First sight
So wrong, So right where you belong... Tonight
First step, Last chance
Deep breath, Just have to leave with no... Regrets

Chorus:
Could I have... Just five minutes of your time?
Would you... Put your hand in mine?
We could... Start something good tonight
Five minutes of your time

Verse 2:
Last night, first fight
First time, We'd ever gone and crossed... The line
First thought, Last chance
The hurt, How can we make it back...  this time

Chorus:
Could I have... Just five minutes of your time?
Would you... Put your hand in mine?
We could... Start something good tonight
Five minutes of your time

Bridge:
Tell me what it takes.
With all we have at stake
Don't leave it up to fate.

Chorus:
Could I have... Just five minutes of your time?
Would you... Put your hand in mine?
We could... Start something good tonight
Five minutes of your time


Five Minutes

Our Finest Hour

Verse 1:
Where'd the time go. I just found your note
From three weeks ago. I should have been there
This'll only take a minute. Another broken promise           
and this job don't love me back. just let me take this call

PreChorus:          
What if the hands stop moving       
And the wheel stops turning        
And all your left with…
...are your regrets...

Chorus:
May our last days together be our finest hour
Don't waste a single minute, make every second count
As the weeks flash by and the years roll on
Let's make our last days together be our finest hour.

Verse 2:              
The clock ticks on. Who knows how long
this ride will last. So we'd better make it count.
The months fall off the wall. And pile up on the floor               
Next to all the lists we made.  Let's sit and watch them burn.

PreChorus:         
So when the hands stop moving             
And the wheel stops turning         
All we're left with...   
...is no regrets...

Chorus:

BRIDGE:   
...our finest hour... (x2)

Last Thing I Saw Coming

Chorus:
You were the last thing I saw coming, Like you fell down from the sky
There was you, out of the blue, and you opened up my eyes
To all the things I couldn’t see, that were right in front of me
You came along and showed me what’s inside of me

I thought I had this life all figured out
i knew where I was going, without a shadow of a doubt 
I had my destination, set off to somewhere new
Somewhere on the road, I missed a turn and there was you.

I thought that I was living out my dreams
Had everything I wanted, but nothing’s perfect as it seems
I had all the pieces sorted, everything thought through
But the puzzle wouldn’t come together, the missing piece was you

Chorus:

Just when you think your life is in your hands
someone comes along and throws a wrench in all your plans
A giant leap of faith becomes your only guarantee
What you didn’t know you wanted, becomes all you ever need

How… Did I not see…
Only you… could repair me…

Still The One

I've done all that I can... But I just can't find my way.
My best laid plans... They always go astray.
But you're still here by my side… The air that gives me life

Chorus:
You're still the one, who takes away my pain
You're still the one… You're still the one…
You're still the one, Who reminds me every day
why You're still the one… You're still the one

Everything I build... is falling down around me
What I stitch together... Comes apart at the seams
But you're still here by my side… The air that gives me life

Chorus:

I stumble, I fall ...You help me up you dust me off
When I hit the wall...You pick me up and push me on
When I get lost...You light my path and help me find my way...

The closer I get... The distance gets so far
When I reach the end...  I'm right back at the start
But you're still here by my side… My air, my friend, my life

It’s About Time

Its about time we turn this thing around
We’ve been driving the same old roads for how long now
Not getting far,  but we’re adding on the miles
Eyes on the road but we’re missing all the sights… It’s about Time…

Chorus:
It’s about time… Its about space
…Its about love… and the smile on your face
It’s about time… It’s about dreams
…It’s about goodness carved in grace
It’s about time … to seize the day
…to take on the night… take life by the reigns
It’s the difference just one day can make…. It’s about time.

It’s about time we take life in our hands
Life’s to short. Have to live it while you can.
In just one moment it can all just slip away
Take my hand, and we’ll take it day by day… It’s about Time…

Chorus:

Its about time that I say whats on my mind…
I’ve waited so long for the time to be just right
Let’s take on the world, and light this fire tonight… It’s About Time

Chorus:

Its About Time

This album came about at a point in my life where I was feeling very alone. Some of the songs have been kicking around a long time. Some I had recently written for the band I was playing in at the time and then found myself out of. Some were written to help me out of the lows I was feeling. I figured... "Screw it! I'll do this thing myself!"... and I did.

I get this feeling when I go to a conference or meeting with strangers. I don't do smalltalk. I feel out of place. Alone in a crowded room...

Lyrics:

I'm in Exile.
I'm in Exile.
All alone in a crowded room.
I'm in Exile.

Exile (prelude)

This album was completely DIY. Part of the concept was to do it alone, because that was how I was feeling. I have to give credit for the royalty free loops used for much of the drums and some of the other instruments.

This is the only song where I had help. A grade 6 student asked if he could play a solo on one of my songs. I gave him a shot and really liked what he did! Not bad for an 11 year old! Thanks Ben McGraw! (And to Troy for helping to engineer the recording!) 

Lyrics:

It's the kind of day that turns you inside out
And comes at you from all directions
You're soaked to the skin and chilled to the bone
With no shelter for protection

There's too much rain. There's too much rain.
Keeps coming down, day after day.
Too much rain. There's too much rain.
Feel like I'll drown. There's too much rain.

Dark clouds surround you like a prison.
Standing guard right through the night.
You're all alone, lost in the dark,
Searching and praying for daylight.

There's too much rain. There's too much rain.
Keeps coming down, day after day.
Too much rain. There's too much rain.
Feel like I'll drown. There's too much rain.

And still I pray for a little light
To guide my way, restore my sight, and see me through
...The rain.

There's too much rain. There's too much rain.
Keeps coming down, day after day.
Too much rain. There's too much rain.
Feel like I'll drown. There's too much rain.



Too Much Rain

This song came to me pretty much intact... at once. Music, lyrics, some of the arrangement. I was seeing bullying going on in the school where I teach. It threw me back to how much I got picked on in school. That's where the song comes from. 

Even though this song was written years ago, I like how the opening guitar riff fits into the ending of Exile (Prelude). 

Lyrics:

If you could see the expression on your face,
Would you take those words away?
If you could see the damage words can do,
Would you say the things you say?

If you could save the world with just one word,
Would you curse or would you pray?
If you could heal the hurt that you inflict,
Would you wipe the tears away?

Would you take it back?   Could you take it back?
Would you take back those words you said?
Would you take it back?   Could you take it back?
Would you take back those words you said?

Sticks and stones will break your bones
But words will break your heart.
Bones will mend in time
But words can leave a deeper scar.

If you could see the expression on your face,
Would you take those words away?
If you could heal the hurt that you inflict,
Would you wipe the tears away?

Would you take it back?   Could you take it back?
Would you take back those words you said?
Would you take it back?   Could you take it back?
Would you take back those words you said?

Words

This song had to come at the end of the album. After being deserted by my band and friends, losing another good friend and being at a real low I had enough. This one started to come around as soon as I decided to pick myself up and do the album myself. It's me telling the people that screwed with me that I've had enough and I'm not going to let things bring me down any longer.

Lyrics:

I didn't see that coming, 
You caught me by suprise
You turned my world upside down 
Hit me square between the eyes

You can't bring me down. I won't feel the pain
I've been here many times before but I won't be back.
You can’t bring me down, you can't hurt my pride
You're not getting underneath my skin. you won't get inside.
You can't bring me down
 
You won't feel any better
by trying to take me down
I'm picking myself up again
Get my feet back on the ground

You can't bring me down. I won't feel the pain
I've been here many times before but I won't be back.
You can’t bring me down, you can't hurt my pride
You're not getting underneath my skin. you won't get inside.
You can't bring me down
 
You can take your sticks and stones and build a bridge to God knows where.
You can jump off when your done...  Just don't call when you get there
I don't know what your problem is but go tell someone who cares.
     
You can't bring me down. I won't feel the pain
I've been here many times before but I won't be back.
You can’t bring me down, you can't hurt my pride
You're not getting underneath my skin. you won't get inside.
You can't bring me down

You Can't Bring Me Down

I have no idea where this song came from. I had been struggling to finish the bridge for "You Can't Bring Me Down" for days. Finally I sat down one night to finish it no matter what. I got the idea for line "You don't cry. It didn't fit the song so I opened another document to type it in and go back to my writing. Instead I started typing and had this song in less than 20 minutes. I shut my laptop and said "There!" ... Wait a minute that wasn't the song I was going to finish! LOL  I finished the other tune and called it a two song night! 

Lyrics:

Nothing ever bothers you till it all comes crashing down
Look like you're in complete control but your mind is spinning round
The world weighs on your shoulders so heavy you could break
They say you pick your battles, but there's too many on your plate.

What's that in the corner of your eye?

You don't cry. No you don't cry.
I'm pushed to the side with arms open wide while you run and hide.
 No you don't cry.

You go it all alone, face whatever comes along.
You push it all deep down inside, prove to everyone you're strong
I can see the pressure rising, as we prepare our parts
It's easier to play the role than to face what's in your heart.

What's that in the corner of your eye?

You don't cry. No you don't cry.
I'm pushed to the side with arms open wide while you run and hide.
 No you don't cry.

You hide behind your curtain so no one sees you fall
You try to keep your secret that you've got feelings after all

You don't cry. No you don't cry.
I'm pushed to the side with arms open wide while you run and hide.
You don't cry. No you don't cry.
I'm pushed to the side with arms open wide while you run and hide.
 No you don't cry.
