Knocking on the door on a rainy afternoon
Thursdays always seem to come around so soon
I could tell from the look on your face that it's getting to ya
You wanna be strong but you're worried about the future
A sunny day is on its way again
The clouds of fear will start to clear, my friend
These are troubled times indeed
But you got everything you need
So hold on for the sunny days ahead
Saw a man I hadn't seen in years
Wasn't sure if he still lived 'round here
He said the people in this town have all gone crazy
Human nature never ceases to amaze me
A sunny day is on its way again
The clouds of fear will start to clear, my friend
These are troubled times indeed
But you got everything you need
So hold on for the sunny days ahead
A sunny day is on its way again
The clouds of fear will start to clear, my friend
These are troubled times indeed
But you got everything you need
So hold on for the sunny days ahead
A sunny day is on its way again
The clouds of fear will start to clear, my friend
These are troubled times indeed
But you got everything you need
So hold on for the sunny days ahead

Little hands, little cough
What is this love?
So much pain, so much joy
We can avoid
Closed eyes, the darkness rises from the grave
Breath deep the feeling reaches up from the past
Stare straight til it goes away
Boats drifting current strong,
Peace in our minds
Gains balanced, ego crushed
However it falls
Closed eyes, the darkness rises from the grave
Breath deep the feeling reaches up from the past
Stare straight til it goes away

Feels like we got lightyears
Between you and me
From my lonely corner
Working up my nerve
Do I dare
Do I make a move and come on over
Do you see me
Am I there in your stars
Am I there in the night
Do you want me
Am I there in your stars
Don’t leave me floating in space
I can't get through to you
Gravity it keeps me in my place
I’m your man on the moon
Running down the clock
Weigh the cost
Missing out vs missing nothing
Only one way out past of the fear
Past the shaking hands and past the blushing
Do you know me?
I can see how you glow
Like the earth on the rise
Do you want me?
Am I somewhere in your skies
Do you see me
Am I there in your stars
Am I there in the night
Do you want me
Am I there in your stars
Don’t leave me floating in space
I can't get through to you
Gravity it keeps me in my place
I’m your man on the moon

Sitting in the backseat, 4 years old,
Watching the clouds go by,
Daddy's in the front with the radio on,
Singing loud to every line,
Now she's all grown with car of her own,
Singing loud to every tune,
Handed her the keys and waved goodbye,
They always grow up too soon
She's moving forward,
Starting a brand new life,
I'm always here for her,
But I know she'll be just fine,
She's moving forward,
She's moving forward
Used to be afraid of the boys at school,
Never gave them a chance,
Daddy always said take your time,
When it comes to romance,
Walking down the aisle dressed in white,
Waiting for a diamond ring,
Daddy's letting go of his little girl,
She's ready for anything
She's moving forward,
Starting a brand new life,
I'm always here for her,
But I know she'll be just fine,
She's moving forward,
She's moving forward

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
I never thought that you would be with someone like me
I'm just a poor boy, from a poor family
Scrimping and saving, trying my best to succeed
I don't have much to give, but you can count on me
We'll build our future however we want it to be
I must be dreaming, it's too good to be true
And life is never quite what it seems
Can't shake the feeling, I'm still thinking of you
But I'm forever stuck in between
In my dreams, I'm your king and you're my queen
I saw you yesterday, at the city park
And now I'm stuck at home pacing around in the dark
I don't know what to say, but in reality
Anyway the wind blows it doesn't really matter to me
Why can't we give love, just another chance
The night is getting late and this is our last dance
I must be dreaming, it's too good to be true
And life is never quite what it seems
Can't shake the feeling, I'm still thinking of you
But I'm forever stuck in between
In my dreams, I'm your king and you're my queen

When I’m with you my world starts to explode,
I get to be the freak I am,
We’ve known each other for years now, and I know,
You’ll stand with me until I’m old,
You free me, just get me,
You free me, my remedy,
This is who we are
This is who we are
Remember all the secrets that we share,
One day we’ll publish them in a book,
And all the rules we broke, I have to say,
I really miss those times,
You free me, just get me,
You free me, my remedy,
This is who we are
This is who we are

I just got picked last in gym class,
My crush was laughing from the stands,
Yesterday I asked her to the Valentine's dance,
She claimed she already made plans
The swervy courage of the underdog,
Never saw it coming, never saw it coming,
Waiting in line til he's number one,
His little heart is thumping, little heart is thumping
Captain sprained his ankle now I got my chance,
Laced up my kicks, "Coach put me in,"
Started a romance with my breakaway pants,
When I tried to rip them off everyone grinned
The hidden courage of the underdog,
Never saw it coming, never saw it coming,
Waiting in line til he's number one,
His little heart is thumping, little heart is thumping
Clock is ticking, got the ball,
Crowd is cheering, show them all,
My crush was kissing the captain in my place,
Instead of shooting I threw it in his face
The swervy courage of the underdog,
Never saw it coming, never saw it coming,
Waiting in line til he's number one,
His little heart is thumping, little heart is thumping

When you drive down, to that place
You won't come back, ever the same
Music playing, on the street
Pickin away now, in that heat
When that chance comes, you better run
When that chance comes, you gotta strum
Yeah, you gotta strum
Head to the Honky Tonk, guitar on my back
I talked to the manager he said, you don't stand a chance
I got twenty others, ready to play
My advice to you son, you best be on your way
When that chance comes, you better run
When that chance comes, you gotta strum
Yeah, you gotta strum
I finally got my shot to, get on that stage
I started pickin, and blew them away
People were dancing, and having a ball
They threw their money, at my guitar
When that chance comes, you better run
When that chance comes, you gotta strum
Yeah, you gotta strum

Morning bell, I hear it ringing and it's time for school,
They got the TV on, it's turned to channel one,
I turned my head around and heard a brand new sound,
I thought my life was going fine but I was wrong,
Thought it was perfect til I heard it in a song,
When something comes along to change your mind,
You've been missing something you can't define,
You can make a bad day turn around,
Anytime you hear it, Tell me did you hear it?
Heading home, I cranked it up and now my speaker's blown,
Back to my driveway and I'm pulling in,
I'm in my car and I'm still listening,
My mom's banging on the door,
But I just want some more,
I thought my life was going fine but I was wrong,
Thought it was perfect til I heard it in a song,
When something comes along to change your mind,
You've been missing something you can't define,
You can make a bad day turn around,
Anytime you hear it, Tell me did you hear it?

Ferris wheels swirling and cotton candy twirling at the county fair
Holding her hand and watching as the fireworks explode in the air
Well the night was getting cold and they didn’t want the moment to end
So he ran to the car to grab her coat and no one ever saw him again
Til the day he stumbled up the steps to her door
He said, “I came back with your coat but the rides and fireworks aren’t there anymore”
She said, “Don’t you tell me that,
It’s been 25 years and you told me that you’d be right back”
It’s quarter past midnight, the kids are asleep and I thought you were dead
You look like a fool in your letterman’s jacket, gray hairs on your head
He said, “I know you won’t believe this and honestly neither can I,
I was gone for five minutes and suddenly now time has left me behind”
On this day where I’ve stumbled up the steps to your door
We can have a second chance to pick up where we left off before
She said, “I don’t know about that,
It’s been 25 years and you told me that you’d be right back”
Since then I’ve lived my life
I found a lover, for a while I was a wife
But things didn’t turn out like I planned
And I’m scared to begin this again
But I’ll try, but I’ll try
Cause this day you’ve stumbled up the steps to my door
We’ve been given this chance to pick up where we left off before
He said, “I’ll believe in that”
She said, “Whatever you do just don’t tell me that you’ll be right back”
I’ll Be Right Back

The door I see leads me to a familiar room
That I’ve never been to before and I open the door
And I can’t see what’s been chasing me
But it’s catching up to me
Find the thing that’s escaping me
Before my enemies
Break through the door, into another room
Hiding behind antique furniture cloth
Fall through the floor, just like it’s another door
Into a room that I’ve been to before
I can see people watching me
Watching me on a screen
See the way they’re reacting
Showing me which way to go
Inch to the door, feel their anxiety
And as I pull away feel their relief
I know this show, I’ve seen this one before
The only thing ending this noir is….
The door I see leads me to a familiar room
That I’ve never been to before and I open the door

I heard that you shot 10 men yesterday
You took a sip of whiskey and than you walked away
Yeah that was you, that was you
I think you got your story wrong you haven't got a clue
I was praying in the church and not in the saloon
I think that you've been drinking, and that's the truth
They said the killer had black hair, but maybe I don't know
You must have been the murderer, the preacher told me so
Yeah that was you, that was you
The preacher is a liar, I was sitting in the pews
When I hear the pistol fire I was shaking in my boots
But on my honor as a thief I swear this is the truth
I raided the collection plate and then I fled the room
I may not be a perfect man but I swear I did not shoot
Why must you tell lies
I can see it in your eyes
Denying everything you can
I'm not the one you think I am
And that's the truth
You're bleeding from a bullet wound, blood dripping down your back
You're story isn't adding up so how you 'count for that
Yeah that was you, that was you
Well I stepped out of the chapel door, I heard the voice of God
The preacher shot me in the back cuz he knew he'd been robbed
I stumbled out into the bar, I thought it was the end
And with the money I just stole, Next rounds on me my friends
I swear that that's the truth, I begging on my knees
If you're gonna hang me from my neck, one more shot of whiskey please.
Why must you tell lies
I can see it in your eyes
Denying everything you can
I'm not the one you think I am
And that's the truth
