"Up And Up"

"Up And Up"


Yesterday
Is not quite what it could've been
As were most of all the days before
But I swear today
With every breath I'm breathing in
I'll be trying to make it so much more

Cause it seems I get so hung up on
The history of what's gone wrong
And the hope of a new day
Is sometimes hard to see (what you see)
And though I'm finally catching onto it
And now the past is just a conduit
And the light there at the end is
Where I'll be

Cause I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up
And I haven't given up
Given up on what
I know I'm capable of
And I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up
Yeah there's nothing left to prove
Cause I'm just trying to be
A better version of me
For you
A better version of me
For you

To be prosperous
Would not require much of me
You see contentment is the one thing
It entails
To be content with where I am
And getting where I need to be
I'm moving past the past
Where I have failed

But I'm finally catching onto it
And now the past is just a conduit
Right there at the end
Is where I'll be
Oh

Cause I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up
And I haven't given up
Given up on what
What I've gained from love
And I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up
Yeah there's nothing left to prove
Cause I'm just trying to be
A better version of me
For you
A better version of me
For you

You never cease
To supply me with
What I need
For a good life
So when I'm down
I'll hold my head up high
Cause you're the reason why

I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up
And I haven't given up
Given up on what
What I've gained from love
And I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up
Yeah there's nothing left to prove
Cause I'm just trying to be
A better version of me
For you
(Trying to be a better version of me for you)
Oh

"Wake Up Call"

"Wake Up Call"


"It's 3p.m." she said, I said
"You're crazy"
She said "get out of bed, why are you so lazy? Why waste the day away?"
I said, "Because I'm tired"
"Wendy's called by th eway, they told me that you're fired."

Woah oh oh, Woah oh oh
So wreckless for all these years
Woah oh oh, woah oh oh
I crash into a wall
Woah oh oh , Woah oh oh
there's a ringing in my ears
Woah oh oh, Woah oh oh
and it's my wake up call
Jesus gave me a wake up call
oh
take this world with a grain of salt
Jesus gave me a wake up call

"It's 3 a.m." she said, "Who are you, Matchbox 20?"
She said, "Are you getting rest?"
Sarcastic, I said "Plenty"
"Don't be a hypocrit."
I asked "What are you saying?"
When you praise God, do you meant it?
Are you sleeping when you're praying?

Woah oh oh, Woah oh oh
so wreckless for all these years
Woah oh oh, Woah oh oh
I crash into a wall
Woah oh oh, Woah oh oh
There's a ringing in my ears
and it's my wake up call
God gave me a wake up call
Take this world with a grain of salt
Jesus gave me a wake up call

"We Wish You A Merry Christmas"

"We Wish You A Merry Christmas"


So we'll drive as fast as we can go
Through the black night, black ice and all snow
Till we see some street signs that we know
We're coming home

Good tidings we bring
To you and your kin
Good tidings for Christmas and a happy new year

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy new year

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy new year

And so when the words we sing are gone
I pray God's blessing continues on
We laugh and compliment this
Merry Christmas

Good tidings we bring
To you and your kin
Good tidings for Christmas and a happy new year

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy new year

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy new year

"What Can I Do?"

"What Can I Do?"


Where could darkness as dark as this have come from?
Too far to see but we know that we can sense that it exists.
And how can I do anything but run from
The will to fight a fight for which I feel so ill-equipped?

[Chorus]
But what can I do?
I throw my hands up half in anguish half in praise.
When I try to count my blessings, I just see sorrow in a cage.
But I’m afraid, ‘cause what can I do?

If this didn’t horrify me, I’d be heartless
But every night I lay here paralyzed.
But I won’t be consumed with all this darkness
Instead I find surprise within the light.

[Chorus]
But what can I do?
I throw my hands up half in anguish half in praise.
When I try to count my blessings, I just see sorrow in a cage.
But I’m afraid, ‘cause what can I do?
Want to cast a light into this pit if I only had a way
To restore the hearts of vile men to the love from which they’ve strayed, but I’m afraid.

Let one man find hope again.
Maybe in his very own daughter’s life.
Have him seize another man’s
Forearm, wrist, and hand before he takes the opportunity to strike.
Have those too grow close in brotherhood in you
Give them all your strength and might,
Let them be a poison to the darkness as they bring it to the light.

Darkness comes to light. [x8]

"What Have You Been Doing Lately?"

"What Have You Been Doing Lately?"


What have you been doing lately?
Your life could use improving greatly.
I just wanted to know what's going on, but everything that goes is going wrong.

When I saw Justin he said he was just in visiting on spring break.
I said "What a surprise. You're one of those guys I haven't seen since 1998."
We talked for a while, and I tried to smile as he told me about his college life.
He parties Fridays through Thursdays (but not for birthdays).
He's acquired a taste for Miller Lite.
Pardon me while I throw up.
I guess some people never grow up.
What happened to the salvation you claimed?
It breaks my heart to see how much you've changed.

Adn then there's Vanessa.
Her life got so messed up.
She just can't get along.
Her emotions they can't cope, 'cause she's lost all hope.
She can't see right from wrong.
Rationality left her (or shrunk with her sweater).
She's a fanatic.
She's over the edge.
She needs Lemon Pledge to clear those cobwebs from her attic.

"When I Go Down"

"When I Go Down"


I'll tell you flat out
It hurts so much to think of this
So from my thoughts I will exclude
The very thing that
I hate more than everything is
The way I'm powerless
To dictate my own moods

I've thrown away
So many things that could've been much more
And I just pray
My problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works

When I go down
I go down hard
And I take everything I've learned
And teach myself some disregard
When I go down
It hurts to hit the bottom
And of the things that got me there
I think, if only I had fought them

If and when I can
Clear myself of this clouded mind
I'll watch myself settle down
Into a place where
Peace can search me out and find
That I'm so ready to be found

I've thrown away
The hope I had in friendships
I've thrown away
So many things that could have been much more
I've thrown away
The secret to find an end to this
And I just pray
My problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works

Any control I thought I had just slips right through my hands
While my ever-present conscience shakes its head and reprimands me
Reprimands me
Then and there
I confess
I'll blame all this on my selfishness
Yet you love me
And that consumes me
And I'll stand up again
And do so willingly

You give me hope, and hope it gives me life
You touch my heavy heart, and when you do you make it light
As I exhale I hear your voice
And I answer you, though I hardly make a noise
And from my lips the words I choose to say
Seem pathetic, but it's fallen man's praise
Because I love you
Oh God, I love you
And life is now worth living
If only because of you
And when they say that I'm dead and gone
It won't be further from the truth

When I go down
I lift my eyes to you
I won't look very far
Cause you'll be there
With open arms
To lift me up again
To lift me up again

"When You Were My Baby"

"When You Were My Baby"


I still remember what happened
Yeah, I know right where I was
The sky was looking overcast
On the outskirts of love

That’s when you said keep on driving
Although the sun’s gonna set
You said you had to see how far we could take this
Yeah, how far we could get

When you were my baby
Whoa-oh
Must’ve done something to change me
Whoa-oh
Cause nothing ever seemed to phase me
Till tonight
Thinking when you were my baby and the whole wide world was mine

I woke up this morning
Aching for you
Roll over, try to sleep it off
Till late afternoon
They say that it’s better
If you love and lost
Maybe if I stay away from you
I’d be better off now

When you were my baby
Whoa-oh
Must’ve done something to change me
Whoa-oh
Cause nothing ever seemed to phase me
Till tonight
Thinking when you were my baby and the whole wide world was

Spinning around us
Trouble never found us
Wish I had it now
But the whole wide world
It never beams bright and
Never feels as right and
It’s killing me tonight just thinking

When you were my baby
Whoa-oh
Must’ve done something to change me
Whoa-oh
Cause nothing ever seemed to phase me
Till tonight
Thinking when you were my baby the world

When you were my baby
Whoa-oh
Must’ve done something to change me
Whoa-oh
It never seemed to phase me
Till tonight
Thinking when you were my baby and the whole wide world was

"When You're Around"

"When You're Around"


Like a child having nightmares
I will run, I'll run into your arms
I'll give you all of my cares and
This world will do me no more harm

When you're around
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
To let you know just what I'm thinking

I want to stay longer.
I made you you a place, a place within my heart
With you I'm so much stronger
That's why I'm glad we'll never have to part

"Where Do I Go From Here"

"Where Do I Go From Here"


Leaving
May not be coming home
Needing
To know I'm not alone
Even
Though I can't feel a thing

Taking
Time to get over it
Making
The best of what won't quit
Breaking me down
I can't feel a thing

Where do I go
Where do I stand
Where can I find myself again
Where do I go
If not disappear
Where do I go from here

Tracing
My steps right back to you
Racing
The clock to save an hour or two
And facing
The fact I don't feel a thing

I'm dealing
With what I can't control
Feeling
Confused cause I don't know if
Healing
Is when you don't feel a thing

Where do I go
Where do I stand
Where can I find myself again
Where do I go
If not disappear
Where do I go from here

Woah Woah Woah

And I still can't feel a thing
