Living in a downtown shack
Always staring down the road
Mary dreamed of shining lights
And carpets coloured rose
But they won't love her, love her, love her
For her sense of beauty,
No they won't love her, love her, love her
Anymore

Mikey wanted more than life
To be up on the stage
Telling how it is 
When you always feel this grey
But they won't trust him, trust him, trust him
To shout out his message
No they don't trust him, trust him, trust him
Anymore

You think the time it takes
Is time we'll waste on you
You wake up and you can only sing the blues
Any every day you swear it's something new
Searching for the will to push on through

You know that it's only temporary
You know that it's not too much to ask
That they love you, love you, love you for your sense of beauty
That the trust you trust you trust you

You think the time it takes
Is time we'll waste on you
You wake up and you can only sing the blues
Any every day you swear it's something new
Searching for a way

But you feel alive
So tell them all that you can do it
Don't you cry
When they tell you not try
We're hear for you
Ain't no way they could ever stop us
Yeah I'm here for you
To pick you up
To help you find a way to push on through

Cause the time it takes
Is time we'll spend on you
You wake up and we'll help you sing the blues
Any every day we'll take on something new
To help you find a way to 
Push on through

Push On Through

The way it sees right through me
The way I know it's there
Lurking behind shadows
To catch me unaware

What have I awakened
What line have I crossed
Am I what you remember
Is it you who I forgot

Hello little time bomb
Knocking at my door
Are you something that I've asked for
Something I deserve

No time to tell you sorry
Our momentum has be set
You must feeling tired
Of hearing I regret

What else can I offer
What would make it right
This dance has only started
Can I make it through the night

Hello little time bomb
Knocking at my door
Are you something that I've asked for
Something I deserve

Dirty little time bomb
What took you so long
I feel like I've been waiting
So long for you to Drop


Thanks To

The Lyrics 

Staring at my phone for too long
I know now that the signals still strong
with the flashing light in my line of sight
I know that somethings wrong
and I've been staring at my phone for too long

ohh maybe baby, I've got just what you need
and all i need from you is a touch of sympathy
she says baby, don't get me started
I told you what love is, and we ain't got none
so leave me alone

I should have known
I was nothin but a fool
yeah I should have known
there was nothin I could do
yeah I should have know
but i'm left here broken hearted
fighting myself as the clock reaches twelve
I know deep inside
I should have known

feeling like I've said too much
her coldness feels like more than just a touch
well in my mind, all these grand designs
have crumbled from the nudge
and i'm feeling like I've said too much

don't worry baby, I've got just what you need
and all I need from you is a touch of sympathy
she says baby, don't get me started
I told you what love is, and we ain't got none
so leave me alone

I should have known
I was nothin but a fool
yeah i should have known
there was nothin i could do
I should have know
but i'm left here broken hearted
fighting myself as the clock reaches twelve
I don't like to lose
next time i'll know

I Should've Known

I Should've Known (Acoustic Original)

The Lyrics

Another sunny day
on the hill tops of 
south Kamineskeg lake
the waters cold
as Joan slips down
and down
can't make 
a sound
no love 
for god
can save 
you now
the deed is done
it feels surreal
like ecstasy  my mind
relives it all at will
i loved you once
but it will fade
in time
you crossed
the line
you stole 
my dog
you took my everything away

Vicky i warned you
i'll never forget
that look of infamy
you possessed

It's 5 past 3 o clock
the wind speed quickens
as the waves crash of the dock
my pistol drawn and i will 
shoot 
to kill
to end
your thrills
you've made
your choice
now your destiny is
right before your eyes
like I promised you
i'm gonna take your life
bang bang another bullet slips
right through
your chest
and to
the clear
blue sky
such a tragic  way to die

dear Vicky
why did you do it?
those voices told you lie

and now i'm left here
blood stained
heart broke
weeping for you
hoping  it all was just a dream

but that was the bad side of good
that I never knew i could
yeah it was the bad side of good
that I never 
that I never knew i could

Those were the darkest of my days
I drink away the pain
Yeah those were the darkest of my day
and i'll take it to my grave
sweet Vicky, dear Joan, the world will never know
it was the bad side of good
that I never
that I never knew I could

Another Day

I am just Traveler
A roamer of these roads
Searching for a sunset
That could turn my heart to gold
I don't need a reason
To put my mind at ease
Left my heart in Memphis
So it won't bother me

I was once a young man
I was once naïve
I once had a day job
where they treated us like thieves
but I traded it for something
Of unimaginable wealth
then I lost it in card game
to a lousy hand I dealt

I have not forgotten
Where it is I'm from
Roaming down the highway
Staring into the sun
Who are all these travelers?
What makes us the same?
Who is there to blame
for this game we play

Here I am an old man
Standing on my porch
Here I am a wiser man
Well I don't no nothin much
Reach my hands towards the trees
Take all that I need
Reach my mind into my dreams
To plant another seed

The Traveler

An ode to adventure

Left home for Mexico
Don't care which way I go
When I leave with my dusty coat
Just take me away from home

Hitchhiked to Rideau-Hull
Met a girl from Montreal
Fell in love in bathroom stall
I was any where but home

My old man callin'
He said "Mama's Ballin'"
But Ain't no way I'm going home
Ain't no way I'm going home

Pulled into the city of lights
It was bright like a country night
It took me by surprise
I was anywhere but home

Got mugged in an alley way
They took my watch and my hard earned pay
Well nothings ever free 
Unless you're anywhere but home

She making fast cash with her fat ass
I'm standing awkward down the road
Life feels too short living in New York
So I'm moving on to Mexico
Ain't no way I'm going home
Ain't no way I'm going home

Made it down to the Rio Grande
Fell in love with a Mexican
She took my by the hand 
she said "Boy I'll take you home"

My old man callin'
He said "Mama's ballin' "
But Ain't no way I'm going home
Ain't no way I'm going home

Ain't Going Home

I see you walking down the street
Your summer eyes, they're shinning down on me
I'm moving fast but you make time move slow
It's hard to think baby when I'm losing control

Those Friday nights in the circus
Have me acting like a fool
I swear I'm really funny
When I'm not trying to act too cool

Baby, I'm just trying to say
I'm doing the best I can
Hold on, it's gonna be a bumpy ride
So take ahold of my hand

My little hunny pie
yeah my little hunny pie

They city sleeps like an angel
when you're laying next to me
can you feel it like I feel it
I need you to see that it's me you're looking for

Best I Can

Remember way back in Highschool?

Thanks to:

Remember way back in Highschool
When we thought that we were cool
Never dreamed that it would last long
While I dreamed awhile with you
We would run through the halls
Throw our books at the walls
and I do it all for you
I'll never forget smoking cheap cigarettes
to look cool, in front of you

Later on we took the long way home
So I could walk awhile with you
dreamed of where we'd be in 5 longs years
and I'd dream those dreams with you
I was cool I was calm I was Hip I was suave
when I told you it was you
I'll never forget all those things that I said
to look cool infront of you

Cause Darling I loved you
Back in Highschool

When I think about those Highschool years
I can't help but think of you
Those days are gone but it makes me smile

Highschool
