	1. Progress

we live, we die
we go out of our minds
we talk about planets
we laugh, we cry
we keep track of the time 
and how we take it for granted

we're moving forward
we're doing fine
we're making progress with our lives
but do we even know why?

look up at the sky
watch the sun burning bright
don't take it for granted
get up, get out
make a point of your life
you'll sit here forever

we're moving forward
we're doing fine
we're making progress with our lives
but do we even know why?

get up, get out
you'll stay here forever
do we know why?
we've got to make progress

we're making progress today

we're moving forward
we're doing fine
we're making progress with our lives
and we don't even know why



	2. We Could Love

so maybe im just blind
or maybe i can't see
well either one is fine
i speak redundantly
its hard to see whats wrong
when you're diving in like me
i used to love relentlessly

so how can you remember everything?
is there a rulebook for our love
i'm not reading?
if we could just free up the laws
that bind our lives
then we could love
we could love

don't get me wrong here
i need you in my life
but we're independent people
at the current time
i know that years from now
a day will finally come for us to love perpetually

so how can you remember everything?
is there a rulebook for our love
i'm not reading?
if we could just free up the laws
that bind our lives
then we could love
we could love

this is where i draw the line this time
this just has to stop right here
if we can't just learn to live our lives
then we don't have any hope at all

so how can you remember everything?
is there a rulebook for our love
i'm not reading?
if we could just free up the laws
that bind our lives
then we could love
we could love



	3. Doctor's Orders

im so lonely i wrote another song 
im stuck at home here while things move right along 
she found love out there 
she's never looking back 
i can not say the words cause my heart is turning black 

you can make me eat those words or bring me back to life 
you can make me out of my mind 
you can help me realize the meaning of my life 
you can make me open my eyes 

i really dont appreciate the time she spent to look 
i can count all the days on one hand the amount of time it took 
so doctor make her better make her half way sane 
don't underestimate her twisted little game 

you can make me eat those words or bring me back to life 
you can make me out of my mind 
you can help me realize the meaning of my life 
you can make me open my eyes 

you're just happy to be free 
of the life you had with me 
your cold hands and cold feet 
will now be warmed by someone else 
while i sit here by myself 
if you leave, you leave for good 

you can make me eat those words or bring me back to life 
you can make me out of my mind 
you can help me realize the meaning of my life 
you



	4. Change For Yourself

you should have called me 
i would have tried to get you through the night 
the snow is falling 
and i don't mean the weather that's outside 
you lied to me right to my face 
you always told me how to deal with a life of stress 
but now as i take a look at you 
you look like a mess 
did you fall out of sync with your mind? 
did you lose yourself tonight? 

take control of your life somehow 
before its too late 
you've got some things to figure out 
it's time to make a change for yourself 

overwhelming nothing less 
did you make it up? 
i'm in denial can't you tell 
the way this makes me feel? 
did you fall out of sync with your mind? 
did you lose yourself tonight? 

take control of your life somehow 
before its too late 
you've got some things to figure out 
it's time to make a change for yourself 
	
its not too late 
its never too late 

you can call me any time you need me 

take control of your life somehow 
before its too late 
you've got some things to figure out 
it's time to make a change for yourself



	5. Geo

can you see through the eyes of a dreamer? 
does your mind know the world how it is? 
when you sleep do you dream in numbers? 
write it down, make a plan, check your list 

for the longest time i believed you were right 
i would live my life with a logical mind 
when i reach my goals i don't want to be stuck on 
thinking about success and what's supposed to be next 
i'd love to learn what i should do to be as happy as you 

do you love what you do? does it satisfy you? 
i need peace in my mind but it seems so hard to to find 

for the longest time i believed you were right 
i would live my life with a logical mind 
when i reach my goals i don't want to be stuck on 
thinking about success and what's supposed to be next 
i'd love to learn what i should do to be as happy as you 

i never will forget what you have said 'cause you know best 
and advice that you have given me i will never second guess 

for the longest time i believed you were right 
i would live my life with a logical mind 
when i reach my goals i don't want to be stuck on 
thinking about success and what's supposed to be next 
i'd love to learn what i should do to be as happy as you



	6. Stay For The Weekend

i miss the way you used to say my name 
i miss the way you'd call me just to make sure im ok 
i miss those days they slipped away somehow 
the time goes by so fast before you know it "then" is "now" 
and i'm constantly reminded of another place and time 
why can't we just bring it back tonight? 

stay stay for the weekend 
make it so your eyes can stare into mine 
will you stay? stay for the weekend 
spend a little time just you and i 
(spend a little time) 

i already know the way it's gonna be 
and i don't want to talk if you're trying to be friendly 
i miss those days they slipped away somehow 
the time goes by so fast before you know it we're moving out 
and i'm constantly reminded of another place and time 
why can't we just bring it back tonight? 
	
stay stay for the weekend 
make it so your eyes can stare into mine 
will you stay? stay for the weekend 
spend a little time just you and i 

well you never seem to listen 
you never seem to care 
everybody warned me 
no one else would dare 
you never seem to be there 
you never seem to care 
everybody warned me 
no one else would dare 

stay stay for the weekend 
make it so your eyes can stare into mine 
will you stay? stay for the weekend 
spend a little time just you and i 
will you stay? stay for the weekend 
'cause i don't want this to end



	7. I Love Your Existence

perfection is defined 
when your heart beats next to mine 
and time stands still for us
my hand in your hair and yours on my chest 
moments with you are my lifes best

we crossed paths for a reason
the planets aligned in that particular season
its clear to me that well eventually be inseparable

i love your existence
and i cant get enough

your song is sung in your beautiful voice
my senses rush cause they have no other choice
i breathe you in and I see through your eyes
you are an angel in a beautiful disguise

we crossed paths for a reason
the planets aligned in that particular season
its clear to me that well eventually be inseparable

i love your existence
and i cant get enough

So pucker up and embrace the greatness 
you get me high and erase my sadness

i love your existence
and I cant get enough



	8. Asleep at the Wheel

it's taking a lot out of me
to tell you how long it will be
before i can spend some sweet time with you again
i'm hoping i'll be finding success
(you know you will)
you know that i'll be trying my best
(you know i will)
the thousands of miles will not make me love you less

so i'll see the world while you stay home
and i'll drive these roads paved in loneliness

the dotted lines show us where we're supposed to go
we stay inside them in fear that we'll lose control
the night falls and the lights they provoke a thought of you

so think what you want of me
i'm leaving
i'll be falling asleep at the wheel

for once in my life i can say i am right about something
i've never been this positively certain
i'm leaving

so fill me up unleaded regular
we've got 500 miles before this night is over
by this time tomorow i'll be filling up again

so think what you want of me
i'm leaving
i'll be falling asleep at the wheel

trace the moment
trace the time
find the second i lost my mind
'cause i've been thinking for the longest time about me and you

so i'll see the world while you stay home
(ive been thinking about me and you)
and i'll drive these roads paved in loneliness
(ive been thinking about me and you)
so i'll see the world while you stay home
(what are we going to do?)
and i'll drive these roads paved in loneliness
(what are we going to do?)

for once in my life i can say i am right about something
i've never been this positively certain
i'm leaving
