“The Hard Way” Please don’t take this the hard way We been takin’ the hard way Gotta clear my head and find that peace of mind So delicate, I need to take my time And I wait…for an answer But it never comes No I never got quite used to the idea of a world that still exists without you here Where it starts and how it ends Guess we never know the plan Well I left it all behind some secret door In a place I used to go but not no more And I can't, can’t compete with who I used to be Please don’t take this the hard way We been takin’ the hard way You should know it wasn’t you but rather something stuck in me And I never took for granted all your gifts and memories And I swear that I'm fine gonna get it right this time And I guess I loved it more than I could ever love myself Cos I left a real big part of me back there with someone else When I look at all the reasons They never make much sense at all And there's nothing you can say to me that’ll help me to forget And I don’t know when the time will come But I know it ain’t just yet So I’ll go out to find what it is I’m looking for Oh here I go out to find what is I’m looking for We been takin’ the hard way

“Real Good Love” Sometimes we get high Sometimes we get low Movin' so fast but nowhere to go I don’t know if it’s all the same Did it myself got no one to blame You know well as good as I That real good lovin' is so hard to find Some say fast and some say slow Come to find out nobody knows Lookin at you I can’t help but smile Hope you don’t mind if I stay here a while You know well as good as I That real good lovin' is so hard to find You know well as good as I That real good lovin' is so hard to find So hard to find Hard to find It’s been on my mind Oh day or night it feels alright Cause real good lovin' is so hard to find Some grow young and some grown old It’s all on us truth be told It’s all good and I can’t complain Give me the chance I’d do it again You know well as good as I That real good lovin’ is so hard to find You know well as good as I That real good lovin’ is so hard to find

“Different Roads” Sittin’ around, wonderin’ How your life has really been Haven't heard from you in quite some time We’ve been traveling on different roads You’re going out, I’m coming home I hope you know you’re always on my mind It's hard to think that I'm the only one who feels this way When you’re alone do you think of me? Like I’ve been thinkin' ‘bout you Hope you know I wanted it too We were racin’ around killin’ time Finding out what hid inside Till we ran the car right off the road It's hard to think that I'm the only one who feels this way When you’re alone do you think of me? Like I’ve been thinkin ‘bout you I hope you know I wanted it too Oh like I’ve been thinking bout you I hope you know I wanted it too

It's Alright 03:11
“It’s Alright” Yeah it’s alright with me If it’s alright with you It’s so ez to feel lonesome when you’re gone So I keep you in my heart when you’re not here in my arms When it all falls apart You’ll just play my favorite song And all the things that we’ve done wrong all the things that we’ve done wrong Go away Go away It’s been a long day for me It’s been a long day for you It’s so ez for me to take it personal Still I keep you in my heart when you’re not there in my arms When it all falls apart you’ll just play my favorite song And all the things that we’ve done wrong all the things that we’ve done wrong Go away Go away When I’m out there on my own all the time it moves so slow Feels like everything was perfect an illusion we both know Do I see your face in movies did we ever really grow Should I try to right the wrong put you on a pedestal Still I keep you in my heart when you’re not here in my arms When the whole world falls apart we'll just play our favorite song And float away Float away Hey it’s alright with me

“Don’t Keep Me Waiting” From across the table I noticed you're there You said it was something You don’t normally wear And I tried too hard Not to stare But I think that you could easily tell If you want it Come and get it I’ll be right here Don’t keep me waiting In the moment Won’t forget it I’ll be right here Don’t keep me waiting And the night moves on And we spoke about things And we let our guard down And we noticed our rings And I saw your mind How it made me feel It was nice to be wanted To have something real If you want it Come and get it I’ll be right here Don’t keep me waiting In the moment Won’t forget it I’ll be right here Don’t keep me waiting If you want it Come and get it I’ll be right here Don’t keep me waiting In a moment Won’t forget it I’ll be right here Don’t keep me waiting So you wanna get lost from the start? Somebody said the waiting is the hardest part Say you wanna get lost from the start? Somebody said the waiting is the hardest part If you want it Go and get it I’ll be right here Don’t keep me waiting In a moment Won’t forget it I’ll be right here Don’t keep me waiting If you want it Come and get it I’ll be right here Don’t keep me waiting In a moment Won’t forget it I’ll be right here Don’t keep me waiting don’t keep me waiting

"Someday, Someday" Always so much harder than you thought it would be you throw it all away when they come calling Never the one for a long goodbye leave before the end then you’re off running Should’ve seen the truth but you held it so tight hidden so well that it fooled me Now you’re out walking on the edges of life selling that same old smile just to get by Ooh, someday I’ll, someday I’ll try to forget the look in your eyes someday I’ll try You told me you’re afraid of the sea like your family always falling down All this time in an endless night with a weary heart leads to mornin’ time. Should’ve seen the truth but you held it so tight hidden so well that it fooled me Now you’re out walking on the edges of life Selling that same old smile just to get at me yeah Ooh someday I’ll, someday I’ll try to forget the look in your eyes someday I’ll try

Golden Dream 02:56
“Golden Dream” When you find Your golden Dream You won't need No help From me There won't be no time there won't be no fear You'll even forget what had kept you near And tho I'll be sad see you go There won't be no pain anymore And the waves will take you far away To some distant place In the center of my mind I can see your face sometimes When the seasons change And the weather clear There is no sense of doubt to why you’re here And tho I'll be sad see you go There won't be no pain anymore And the waves will take you far away To some distant place (without you) Though I was sad see you go We won’t be afraid anymore And oh, it’s so hard to walk away We’ll meet again, in some distant place

“I’ll Keep Going On” Save me from a bad place Play along I won’t say what’s gone wrong Everyone just wants to be alone With you Tell me all the things you never say I don’t care what comes next I’m prepared for anything that you might take from me I keep going on I keep going on I’m not sure what you have said to other people on this planet Just don’t be afraid to tell me how you really feel sometimes I just wanna get away from all the strangers in my path I don’t really know what it all means I think it’s just engrained I keep going on I keep going on Through the same city at night towards a new mornin’ sunrise Save me from a bad place Play along I won't say what’s gone wrong Everyone just wants to be alone with you
