I was born to the show
just like my parents before
I live with tigers and clowns
I work in tents over crowds
But when I'm in the air I feel oh so much freer
I get so high up there I love it on the high wire
I travel from town to town
I'll turn your frown upside down
I do my best to amaze
with feats of balance and grace
When I'm in the air I feel oh so much freer
I get so high up there I love it on the high wire
I hope you enjoyed the show
now it's time for us to go
onward up to the next town
to heal the hearts of those down
Cause when Im in the air I feel oh so much freer
I get so high up there I love it on the high wire

So many times before
I thought I had the cure
To fuel my aching fire
To free my souls desire
Forever wanting more
But here I am a man
Unsatisfied again
As much as I would be
A happy you and me
Well I just cant pretend
A thousand miles away (in the bed right next to me)
Your not gonna stay (so I guess I better leave)
But everything will be ok (yea I think I'll be ok )
A thousand miles away
So don't keep hanging on
Cause I'll just move alone
And a love like ours belongs
On a highway with a song
A thousand miles away (in the bed right next to me)
Your not gonna stay (so I guess I better leave)
But everything will be ok (yea I think I'll be ok )
A thousand miles away

I've asked all the questions up here in my head
Counted all the questions through the good times and bad
I've lived through the hurt and I fought through the blame
Asked for forgiveness to many times to name
Now I know better I know how to have my way
When it comes to you
Don't leave your soul to waste
When I was a young man
How could I have known
I looked to the stars and I kneeled to a throne
Asked for permission from those who'd agree
Rode all those fences with all apologies
Now I know better I know how to have my way
When it comes to you
Don't leave your soul to waste
So hold me in your candle I'll be gone when morning comes
Riding with the wind I'll be running with the sun
Keep me in your conscious when your looking to get down
Make your love your freedom
don't bring your weapons round
Cause now I know better I know how to have my way
When it comes to you
Don't leave your soul to waste

Dear God

Dear God can you hear me
crawling out of my skin
I've done it again
I've walked the line
seen the signs
I'm standing over my grave
now I don't have to die
I can feel You getting closer
moving through me now
I know there's more waiting for me
and all I gotta do
is open up the truth
Dear God can you see me
here upon the center stage
challenged and broken
do You see are you proud of me
I've done the best that I can
and I'm happy
I can feel You getting closer
moving through me now
I know there's more waiting for me
and all I gotta do
is open up the truth
Dear God can you feel me
Standing over my grave

Baby

called you up in the middle of the night
just to hear your voice
cause I know when we called it all off
we made the wrong choice
and right now I want you back
can't help my self
cause I know there's only you
and no one else
oh baby oh baby
tell me you believe
that you're the only one for me
so I went out all over town
felt so blue
cause evertime I turned around
I was only remined of you
so I went home and waited it out
hoped that I could pull through
but everytime I thought about love
I olly thought about me holding you
oh baby oh baby
tell me you believe
that you're the only one for me
now here we are just the two of us
feeling so much
I'm wondering if you feel the same
are you hurting from missing my touch
I cant sleep, don't want to eat
just want you around
and I'm wondering if you feel the same
want to try and work this whole thing out
oh baby oh baby
tell me you believe
that you're the only one for me
oh baby oh baby
in this heart of mine
until the end of time

So Much Better

Daylight breaks
I think of the night that just passed
and I wonder
if I found a love that will last
Carolina's dancing in the firelight
unfinished song
swirling around in my mind
all turned on
to a place only love can ignite
girl next to me
I've known for quite sometime
so much better now
you here with me
careless word
careful what you say
tender heart
goes a very long way
soothing eyes
wrap me in your night
so much better now
you here with me
so much better now
you here with me

I'll Get By

Wednesday I hit my head
Thursday I fell in bed
Friday I missed the show
Don't you know I was just too tired
Saturday I took a test
Sunday I choose to rest
Monday I can't recall
but I know I wasn't inspired
I'll be alright
I'll get by
passing days in the sunshine
come what may
even if you wont be mine
I'll be alright
I'll get by
Tuesday I rode a train
Wednesday I went insaine
Thursday I thought of you
and you know I felt inspired
so that night I wrote a song
but then you were gone
so I just hung my head and I cried
yes I cried
I'll be alright
I'll get by
passing days in the sunshine
come what may
even if you wont be mine
I'll be alright
I'll get by
yeah
I'll be alright
I'll get by
passing days in the sunshine
come what may
even if you wont be mine
I'll be alright
I'll get by
Yeah
I'll get by

Oh how I bled hooks in me
all that you said were lies I believed
Wasting my love on you
Is casting my pearls before swine
All i have done is all I'm gonna do
No more wasting my love on you
Now when I was a younger man
you knew more
I thought that you really cared
but you only hurt me for sure
Wasting my love on you
Is casting my pearls before swine
All i have done is all I'm gonna do
No more wasting my love on you

Early in the evening
Crawled on outta bed
Forgot about last night
But I remember what she said
She was rollin'
High High High
She aint got no time for me
And I aint got no time for goodbye
Later that same morning
On the boulevard
Looking for my baby
I was trolling
Sly Sly Sly
She aint got no time for me
And I aint got no time for goodbye
Hey bring me down
Run around
Lost or found don't break me
Hey way too long
Right or wrong
That's your song, song yeah
Darker in the afternoon
The sun was laying low
Baby came a crawling
But I had somewhere to go
I was strolling
Cry Cry Cry
She aint got no time for me
And I aint got no time for goodbye
She aint got no time for me
And I aint got no time for goodbye
She aint got no time for me
And I aint got no time for goodbye
Goodbye Goodbye
Goodbye Goodbye
