"Chase It"

"Chase It"



Did you think about the things you used to say?
How you'd laugh right in my face…
Did you wanna take me down?
Did you think that I would always be afraid?
Just to damn scared to walk away
Now you wanna come around…

Well I feel like I've finally had enough…
There's no making up…

You know you gotta give it up
It's too far gone to chase it…
And when the feelings go you don't wanna have to fake it.
All of the lies you love to tell you know I heard it all before…
But it's over now… your just gonna have to face it… face It…

Do you listen to your friends and what they say?
Do they help you with your faith when you're standing in the crowd?
And do you feel a little lost and out of place?
It's just the pain you can't erase…
And I can't help you with it now…

Cuz I feel like a weight is lifting off and there's no making up…

That's why you gotta give it up
It's too far gone to chase it...
You know that when the feelings go you don't wanna have to fake it.
All of the lies you love to tell you know i've heard it all before
But its over now… your just gonna have to face it…

You know you've got to give it up… It's too far gone to chase it.
You know that when the feelings gone you don't wanna have to fake it.
All of the lies you love to tell you know I've heard it all before
But its over now and your just gonna have to face it face it baby, face it that it's over.

"Come Back (Swear To God)"

"Come Back (Swear To God)"



I've been talkin' it over with myself
I could leave it open but I cant decide
we're in so far now I cant see clear and it's all over my head

how long can you hold on to a promise
that's what this whole charade has come to
I was so wrong and I know right now that I cant come back this time

I know I put you through a lot
I'm different now I swear to god
oh say it say you'll let me come back
I'll give you everything I got tell me that wanna start
oh say it say you'll let me come back

I've been movin' slower in my life
talkin' the time to let this hole fill up
and so far I can say that I feel like everything is comin' around

"Come On Free"

"Come On Free"



Come on free O’ that’s the feeling that’s how you stay alive
Come on free what do you believe in that’s gonna start the fire

Now I ain't ever gonna be down on what you feel, down on the thoughts in your head
All I ever wanna be is somebody that you can trust, somebody you love
Now I don’t have to walk the fence, I'm breaking off the chains
Ever since we’ve been together
I’m gonna give you all I can, help me with my faith don’t hold back on me now

Come on free O’ that’s the feeling that’s how you stay alive
Come on free what do you believe in that’s gonna start the fire

Now you never wanna be down on what you feel, down on something somebody said
All you ever gotta do is believe in yourself and you’re there, It’s all in your hands
You don't have to walk the fence or worry what they say as long as you’ve got something together
It’s a such funny little game that people wanna play, but it ain't no game when you’ve got your faith

Come on free O’ that’s the feeling that’s how you feel alive
Come on free what do you believe in that’s gonna start the fire

Come on free once you’re free once you’re free O’ that’s the feeling that’s how you stay alive
Free once your free once your free what do you believe in? It’s how you stay alive

Come on free O’ that’s the feeling that’s how you stay alive
Come on free what do you believe in that’s gonna start the fire

"Cover Me"

"Cover Me"



Now the long arm of law has just done issued a warrant
Out for my ass I got to run
I got a gun and two bullets waitin' for some blood
And anyone who fucks with my world's done

Now the first stop I make I got to see me my woman
She got the stuff and I need some
I know in the morning if I get to the border
Love is gonna save me this time son

Everywhere I go you gotta cover me
Gotta lay low pro
Cover me no time is gonna free me
Anywhere I go you gotta cover me

Now I play for keeps when there's big trouble brewin'
Ain't no one left when I am done
A bad man you say no room to argue
When I give love it's bad to the bone

Everywhere I go you gotta cover me
Gotta lay low pro
Cover me no time is gonna free me
Anywhere I go you gotta cover me

Everywhere I go you gotta cover me
Gotta lay low pro
Cover me no time is gonna free me
Anywhere I go you gotta cover me

"Cross The Line"

"Cross The Line"



Indecisive from the begining, caught inside
of what's in your head
Wrapped around a ball of confusion,
now is the time to rectify

I can't see clearly which way to turn,
I don't remember what I've learned
I tried to live here in my world, I tried
to live there inside hers

I know the difference brtween the sides
I'm in the middle cause I just can't cross the line

I fought the demons in my head, I burned the light
from both ends
I trust nobody unless I can, I walk the wire
until I'm dead

I know the difference brtween the sides
I'm in the middle cause I just can't cross the line

I know the difference brtween the sides
I know the feelin' from up to down
I see direction from left to right, I'm in the middle
but I just can't cross the line
Cross the line

"Deeper (Into You)"

"Deeper (Into You)"



I look around and all I see is empty spent and broken down
Rows of people manufactured plastic magic
Aren't they beautiful
Then you come over to me
Holding something so fresh and natural
Now I don't know why it could be disguise
But hey, something movin' me
Your stuck on my mind
No matter how head I try I keep getting into it more

I'm goin' deeper I'm standing higher I'm falling harder into you
I'm getting weaker I'm sinking deeper
I'm falling harder into you

How many times have I tried to fit into this phony world
Sometimes I cant help but think that
Maybe I should go on and get outta here
But then I see you I'm thinkin' it through
Say the words and I will understand every one

I'm goin' deeper I'm standing higher I'm falling harder into you
I'm getting weaker I'm sinking deeper
I'm falling harder into you

I've been all around the world up and down
And I could never find what I was looking for
All I had to do is look at you and I would finally see
You've be a part of me

I'm goin' deeper I'm standing higher I'm falling harder into you
I'm gettin' weaker I'm sinking deeper into your heart
I'm fallin' harder into you I'm goin' deeper
I'm standin' higher
I'll take you all the way were goin' home girl I'm bringing you home
I'm takin' you home with me
All the way.... all the way home to philadelphia

"Do It To Yourself"

"Do It To Yourself"



Rise to your feet
Sober up, it's all right
What do you see, when you wake up at midnight?
What did you do?
Another dream day is gone
Take another shot, (missing line)
And then you wonder why

But you do it to yourself
Or you thought you'd know better by now?
You can't fool nobody else
Do it to yourself
Or you thought you'd learn something by now?
You can't win when you're so out of touch
You say you wanna change (ch-ch-change) your ways but, you keep on losing yourself
Do it to yourself
Or you thought you'd learn something by now?
You can't blame nobody else

Fall to your knees
Got your head (missing word) up, yeah
You try to find little time
I hope it don't catch you
How do you sleep down in the dirt so deep?
Taking another shot
Why did you do it?
Don't you wonder why?

But you do it to yourself
Or you thought you'd know better by now?
You can't fool nobody else
Do it to yourself
Or you thought you'd learn something by now?
You can't win when you're so out of touch
You say you wanna change (ch-ch-change) your ways but, you keep on losing yourself
Do it to yourself b
Or you thought you'd learn something by now?
You can't blame nobody else

You say you wanna change (ch-ch-change) your ways but, you keep on losing yourself
Do it to yourself
Or you thought you'd learn something by now?
You can't blame nobody else

"Doin' What The Devil Says To Do"

"Doin' What The Devil Says To Do"



I find it hard, to believe
It took all of my living years for me to see
The most of the things I've ever wanted
And most of the things I've ever owned,
keep me from knowing my soul

I feel I'm falling into a trial
I'm listening to a lot of people telling me what I could have
And you know, it´s sound so good, when your head is full of substances and deceive
I don't wanna be lonely, I need a word
I don't wanna be hurt the way that I am

So I'm trying to talk to an angel
But I feel like I'm talking to myself
No matter how hard I try to live
Or how much I believe in you, I'll keep doing what the devil says to do
I'll keep doing what the devil says to do

I keep talking to myself and the conversation never seems to change
You're a liar, you're a fool and you think you're paying dues
saying that you´re hopeless, faithless, but that ain´t true
You're just living something I can´t find my way out of

And I'm trying to talk to an angel
But I feel like I'm talking to myself
No matter how hard I try to live
Or how much I believe in you
I keep doing what the devil says to do
I'll keep doing what the devil says to do

And I'm trying to talk to an angel
But I feel like I'm talking to myself
No matter how hard I try to live
Or how much I believe in you
I'll keep doing what the devil says to do
I'm just doing what the devil says to do
I'll keep doing what my heart tells me to do
And I listen to my heart
And I listen to my soul
I'll keep doing what the devil says to do

"Don't Ask"

"Don't Ask"



You know my name you know my face you know my touch
You know my voice you know my words
And you know where we stand
I'm not your man I never was

I wanna live a little on my own without a fight
You say you need me when I'm gone but your better off alone

Don't ask Don't ask me will I be there cause I won't
Cant you see I'm doin' so much better on my own

You know my street you know my house
You know the cars I drive
You know my bed you know my type
And you know whats it's like
I'm not so bad I'm not unkind and I don't really wanna hurt you

But I'm free I'm free from making promises tonight
I wanna live a little on my own without a fight
You say you need me when I'm gone
But your better off alone

So don't ask don't ask me if I love you cause I don't
Don't ask don't ask me will I be there cause I won't
Can't you see I'm doin' so much better on my own

Don't ask don't ask me will I be there cause I won't
Cant you see I'm doin' so much better on my own
So don't ask me why don't ask why

"Don't Wanna Lie"

"Don't Wanna Lie"



Try, try and tell me what your feelin' now
Can you try understand I'm leavin' now
You don't have to wonder what it is were fighting for
Cause we don't have to live no more in all this denial

I don't wanna pretend anymore I don't wanna have to lie
Maybe we can be friends if you want only if you got the time
I don't wanna pretend anymore I don't wanna have to lie
Maybe we can be friends if you want but I don't wanna have to lie

Truth, that's what I'm feelin' now
And its you I have been deceivin'
What can I do but tell you I really am sorry
But all this talk is the reason
