Under the tidal wave I’ve gotta getta way Something ain’t right with my soul I don’t know Sometimes you gotta let go Shoutin’ don’t count when no one knows Under the Milky Way Night will remove the day ‘Til it’s as dark as a hole All that shows Are the starts that still glow Shoutin’ don’t count when no one knows When no one really wants to know You can tell them where to go And put the “hell” in “Well hello” Over the Hudson Bay It’s such a gloomy day These just aren’t my kind of folks It’s too cold And they just bought what I sold Shoutin’ don’t count when no one knows

Happy Faces 03:01
Happy faces in dark places Filling all the empty spaces Captain Murphy takes another drink Doctor sees another patient Drinks a cup to keep her up No one told her life could be so cruel But I want to show them New and different places Where they can discover All those happy faces All those happy faces smiling at you Once the captain met a girl To the south of Portugal She broke his heart and left him all alone Doctor Mason lost a patient Quit her job and made her move She took the captain’s ferry to her avenue But I want to show them New and different places Where they can discover All those happy faces All those happy faces smiling at you

Watch out girls she’s comin around And she told me about the why, when, and how Well she lost her heart and I lost mine But she looks good and I feel fine Small town girl is big city now Downbeat rhythm is lost, then it’s found And I’m so locked in that I can’t slow down Well the one and three go two and four As I walked in through her back door Small town girl is big city now But when things just don’t feel right Then I see her late at night And she brings this blind man sight So I hold her tight, tight, tight I play music, she plays the clown We’re too busy laughin’ to ever cop a frown Well I found her heart and she found mine We’re in love and love is kind Small town girl is big city now

Sunshine I’m waiting In the Gerbera sun wide open So drink up you’re fading And tell me things when you start to drink The plans you were making Were past the bar and left in your car Constantly breaking I fell again and put my faith in “when” Baby I know Because it kind of shows And somewhere in my tree You will see the other side of me Although I’ve known you for some time I wonder if it ever crossed your mind That I have never left you behind I’m hoping someday you’ll be mine Silently praying That you will see what I have come to be When a chance could be waiting To write the perfect song and you could sing along The things you were saying Put me in this mood and changed my attitude And dreams that were fading Made your life an art, I want a bigger part Baby I know Because it kind of shows And somewhere in my tree You will see the other side of me Although I’ve known you for some time I wonder if it ever crossed your mind That I have never left you behind I’m hoping someday you’ll be mine

Blue Dolphin 04:20
Blue dolphins swim in formation To the ocean away from the beach There’s too much information And the sun is way out of reach Blue oceans are falling To the sea of green And blue dolphins are sending a frequency Blue dolphins make a connection Through a wave of energy On the lonely sea of rejection My soul is drownin’ me Blue oceans are falling To the sea of green And blue dolphins are sending a frequency Blue dolphins offer protection When the fear of God is in me Sending out another sign of affection Rising up to the surface with me Blue oceans are falling To the sea of green And blue dolphins are sending a frequency
7.
Our Life 02:17
Not sure what I would be without you I never want to have to walk alone It’s time I let you know I’m never letting go I think about my life before you It’s simple things like you just being there That makes me want to say I’m happy here today Our life I contemplate the way I found you And all the ways it could have never been We questioned what we’re taught And this is what we got.

Energy is moving all around you Better listen before you miss the show Inspiration brought you here and found you Someone else’s song is all you know All the cowboy boots that walk down Sunset Never really used to be your scene But there’s a validation there that you’ll get If you play the part and join the team Inside, we all find a way Outside, we just smile It’s a game we play It’s all just a part of being from L.A. But it feels like it’s real for a while You can close the door a little louder Let ‘em know that you don’t really care Lift your head and look a little prouder Acting like you’ve got no time to spare In another routine conversation Any depth is far beneath this crowd Must admit I had my reservations Wish it happened in another town Inside, we all find a way Outside, we just smile It’s a game we play It’s all just a part of being from L.A. But it feels like it’s real for a while

Surrender 04:03
Somewhere tonight She’s waiting for her ride To the party Don’t be shy tonight Dance with me one more time Feel the love all around us With our friends who surround us Baby surrender like I do Say hello to the night Everything feels just right At this party On a warm summer night I made you feel just right Feel the love all around us With our friends who surround us Baby surrender like I do Oh, what’s so wrong With a little lovin’ for fun By the moonlight, under the sun Feel the love all around us With our friends who surround us Baby surrender like I do

We almost made connections We almost took the time We almost thought the punishment just didn’t fit the crime We almost had things settled We almost hit the brink We almost found some common ground one night over a drink We almost seemed united We almost left the state We almost saw the civil war come marching through our gate We almost had to wonder If all of us could stay We almost built a future on an almost perfect day We almost stopped pretending We almost did it first We almost saw it changing from a blessing to a curse We almost had the numbers We almost felt complete We almost had a world where everybody could compete We almost saw the future We almost said goodbye We almost thought that love would win if everyone would try We almost had to wonder Is this the U.S.A.? We almost built a future on an almost perfect day.

Things could be coming together Or she could be falling apart Guess it’d be nice Just for one day Back to the places where she used to play But now she’s grown and she sits home alone He thought that he’d know her forever But she didn’t know where to start Guess it’d be nice Just for one day Back to the places where she used to play But now she’s grown and she wants to go home She’s making decisions like she never had There not always brilliant, but they’re not always bad It’s nighttime in Paris and she missed her dad It gets bad Sometimes she feels sad It seemed like a clear expectation But she never wanted the part Guess it’d be nice Just for one day Back to the places that she used to play But now she’s grown and she sits home alone.

Time to say goodbye I guess I could stick around And I’d be fine But I just don’t have the time Time to say goodbye In such a familiar place I just don’t know I think I really ought to go Time to say goodbye I’ve been in this town so long And now I find That I just don’t have the time Time to say goodbye It’s late so I’ll rest my eyes And head below I think I really ought to go Time to say goodbye.
