Real Good Reason
03:17
|

I got a real good reason
To keep my head
On a plane
With the horizon
I got a real good reason
To keep my hands on the wheel
At ten and two
When I go driving
And it's even more true
Than it was yesterday
So I try to hold on
Before it slips way
I got a real good reason
to turn my head
And look both ways
Before I hit the cross walk
I got a real good reason
To be better than I
Ever thought I could be
With no surprises
And it's even more true
Than it was yesterday
So I try to hold on
Before it slips way
I got a real good reason
to keep my head
One a plane
With the horizon
I got a real good reason
To keep my
Eyes wide open
All of the time
I got a real good reason
On a plane
With the horizon

I've Got My Tie On
04:35
|
|||
I've scrubbed the red from the whites of my eyes
And I've straightened up the angle of my spine
You can see that I've been trying
I've got my tie on
Now I got to go see the man
And I got my hat in my hand
I think I finally understand
I've got my tie on
I was afraid
Of being thrown away
This is all I've been doing for living
It's late
And awfully cold
Of what they asked me I tried
And now I've gone through to the other side
I've got my eyes opened up wide
I've got my tie on
I always thought that I would quit
But it seems that you've beaten me to it
Now everything hurts a little bit
I've got my tie on
I was afraid
Of being thrown away
This is all I've been doing for living
How'd I get
To be so bad at this
I just been playing the cards that I was given
It's late
And awfully cold
I'm afraid
We got to let you go
But here's one more
As you walk out the door
Don't ever say
We never gave you nothing
It's late
And awfully cold
I'm afraid
We got to let you go
It's all over now
You can just walk right out
We'll send someone
To gather up your things
I was afraid
Of being thrown away
This is all I've been doing for living
How'd I get
To be so bad at this
I just been playing the cards that I was given
I've scrubbed the red from the whites of my eyes
And I've straightened up the angle of my spine
You can see that I've been trying
I've got my tie on

Cold War of Ideas
03:21
|

This cold war of ideas
Has really heated up lately
It's no longer an abstract concept
It's knocking at your door
There's now dogs in the fight
Where there once was nothing
And I've got every reason
To believe
In things I never did before
And all those things that you seemed so mad about
Don't matter now
And all those things that you seemed to care about
Don't matter now
There's new stakes
To the old game
That we've all
Been playing
And there's new rules
But the same team
Lining up
To compete
This time
I guess
No one will forget
What feels like
the last game
That there's ever gonna be
And if you've ever been close to the news
You'll know how far it is from the truth
And all those things that you seemed so mad about
Don't matter now
And all those things that you seemed to care about
Don't matter now
And if you've ever been close to the news
You'll know how far it is from the truth
And you've ever been close to the news
You'll know how hard it is to be true

Goodbye
03:26
|

I've already moved in my mind
There's just some things that I got to leave behind
I've already left in my head
There's just some things that I haven't done yet
I'm already gone in my thoughts
there's just some things that I got to cross off
I'm already away in my brain
There's just some things that I still gotta say
I don't want to say goodbye
I don't even wanna try

Hopes Up
03:38
|
|||
For the first time in a long time
I think it all makes sense
Everyone's so glad to be alive
I will do my best
And what feels like a lifetime
Was just a few weeks ago
Everyone now has a real good idea
Lots of new rules to follow
And everybody got their hopes up
And everybody got let down
We can laugh about it now
It's not happened yet
For the first time in a long time
I think it all makes sense
Everyone's so glad to be alive
I will do my best
And tomorrow it's the same thing all over
Or everything could change
The plates are shifting under our feet
New ways to settle each day
And everybody got their hopes up
And everybody got let down
We can laugh about it now
It's not happened yet
