I'm not giving up today
There's nothing getting in my way
And if you knock knock me over
I will get back up again
There's nothing getting in my way
And if you knock knock me over
I will get back up again
Remember the time
We had soda for wine
And got by on gratitude
The worst they could do to you
Was check your attitude
We had soda for wine
And got by on gratitude
The worst they could do to you
Was check your attitude
And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano
And it's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg
The sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightning
The tip of the iceberg
The sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightning
Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
There'll be a bump there will be a bruise
There'll be alarms and there will be a snooze
There'll be a path that you will get to choose
There'll be a win and there will be a lose
There'll be alarms and there will be a snooze
There'll be a path that you will get to choose
There'll be a win and there will be a lose
This is our decision to live fast and die young
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun
Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun
Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
There's so much hard earth to dig
In these days of curse that we live
I'm absolutely sure that in the midst
There's something good in this world
In these days of curse that we live
I'm absolutely sure that in the midst
There's something good in this world
Let it go
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know
The hardest part is over?
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know
The hardest part is over?
Already we'll all float on
Now don't you worry we'll all float on alright
Already we'll all float on alright
Don't worry we'll all float on
Now don't you worry we'll all float on alright
Already we'll all float on alright
Don't worry we'll all float on
Hope that you spend your days
But they all add up
And when that sun goes down
Hope you raise your cup
But they all add up
And when that sun goes down
Hope you raise your cup
Have you forgotten what you have and what is yours?
Glass half empty, glass half full
Well either way you won't be going thirsty
Count your blessings not your flaws
Glass half empty, glass half full
Well either way you won't be going thirsty
Count your blessings not your flaws
There's only us, there's only this
Forget regret, or life is yours to miss
No other path, no other way
No day but today
Forget regret, or life is yours to miss
No other path, no other way
No day but today
A man walks down the street
He says, "Why am I short of attention?
Got a short little span of attention
And, woe my nights are so long
He says, "Why am I short of attention?
Got a short little span of attention
And, woe my nights are so long
An open field that's framed with trees
We pick a spot and shoot the breeze
Like buddies do
Quoting songs by our favourite bands
Telling jokes no one understands
Except us two
We pick a spot and shoot the breeze
Like buddies do
Quoting songs by our favourite bands
Telling jokes no one understands

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song, and this one's for you
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song, and this one's for you
And I'd memorise each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
So I will try to find a way
To say everything I need to say
And If I should die before I wake
Remember everything we said today
To say everything I need to say
And If I should die before I wake
Remember everything we said today
What was once the sweetest melody I've heard
Is now a memory reduced to little words
I'll tune the orchestra and play the overture
Until I pinpoint every note
Is now a memory reduced to little words
I'll tune the orchestra and play the overture
Until I pinpoint every note
Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
Would you help understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by
So, if you find that I'm sleeping
Soft and warm as a child
Would you just let me be
For a moment happy and free?
Oh, won't you please let me dream a while?
Soft and warm as a child
Would you just let me be
For a moment happy and free?
Oh, won't you please let me dream a while?
To live without my music
Would be impossible to do
In this world of troubles
My music pulls me through
Would be impossible to do
In this world of troubles
My music pulls me through
Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Oh my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
The baby grand was sent away
A child all alone, to pray somebody else would realise
That something secondhand and broken
Still can make a pretty sound
Even if it doesn't have a place to live
A child all alone, to pray somebody else would realise
That something secondhand and broken
Still can make a pretty sound
Even if it doesn't have a place to live
So what's the point in planning for a future
If it all can be stolen away?
It's all I can do to hold on and survive
When the colours have faded to grey
If it all can be stolen away?
It's all I can do to hold on and survive
When the colours have faded to grey
Press my nose up, to the glass around your heart
I should've known I was weaker from the start
You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part
To tear, tear them down
I should've known I was weaker from the start
You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part
To tear, tear them down
The way your head gets twisted
And you sit up all night trying to figure it out
And they say you've made your bed now
Don't you see you've brought it on yourself
And you sit up all night trying to figure it out
And they say you've made your bed now
Don't you see you've brought it on yourself
I can't hold on tight
To nothing better than the rest
So it's now
Or never more
To nothing better than the rest
So it's now
Or never more
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show
I'm sorry for the person I became
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to try and never become that way again
'Cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to try and never become that way again
'Cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been
They're decomposing composers
There's less of them every year
You can say what you like to Debussy
But there's not much of him left to hear
There's less of them every year
You can say what you like to Debussy
But there's not much of him left to hear
This is my life and this is how it reads
For every chapter, a thousand memories
A murder, a mystery where everybody bleeds
A fantasy, a thriller with romance and disease
For every chapter, a thousand memories
A murder, a mystery where everybody bleeds
A fantasy, a thriller with romance and disease
What if I told you
Who I really was
What if I let you in on my charade?
What if I told you
What was really going on
No more masks and no more parts to play
Who I really was
What if I let you in on my charade?
What if I told you
What was really going on
No more masks and no more parts to play
'Cause I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn
Dreams to dream
In the dark of the night
When the world goes wrong
I can still make it right
In the dark of the night
When the world goes wrong
I can still make it right
I'd forgot how to daydream
So consumed with the wrong things
But in the dark, I realized this life is short
And deep down, I'm still a child
Playful eyes, wide and wild
I can't lose hope, what's left of my heart's still made of gold
So consumed with the wrong things
But in the dark, I realized this life is short
And deep down, I'm still a child
Playful eyes, wide and wild
I can't lose hope, what's left of my heart's still made of gold
It's okay, It's alright
It doesn't hurt, I do it all the time
You should laugh, I want you to
This is what I do
It doesn't hurt, I do it all the time
You should laugh, I want you to
This is what I do
I'm just tryin' to live
And get my kicks
And you gotta be human first
That's right music saved my life
Wild eyes we don't have much time
And get my kicks
And you gotta be human first
That's right music saved my life
Wild eyes we don't have much time
And I'll never get to meet the man inside me
If I can't stand still long enough to be there
I'll never make it anywhere if I keep running away
I'll never know myself if all I ever do is play nikki-nikki-nine doors
Don't wanna be a man
If I can't stand still long enough to be there
I'll never make it anywhere if I keep running away
I'll never know myself if all I ever do is play nikki-nikki-nine doors
Don't wanna be a man
I always believed that I was free
That I had some sense of integrity
That would rise above whatever tried to change me
But honey now I won't wait
For something to bring me around and smile
That I had some sense of integrity
That would rise above whatever tried to change me
But honey now I won't wait
For something to bring me around and smile
Can't keep up with my rhythm
Though they keep trying
Too quick for the lines they throw
I walk to the sound of my own drum
It goes, they go, we go
Though they keep trying
Too quick for the lines they throw
I walk to the sound of my own drum
It goes, they go, we go
If this plane goes down
I hope that I can get people laughing
Will I have the balls to tool around
If this plane goes down?
I hope that I can get people laughing
Will I have the balls to tool around
If this plane goes down?
And I can see what each of them has lost of locked inside
And suddenly I hold the key
I turn the lock and disappear
And all it takes is one more step and then I'm hеre
And suddenly I hold the key
I turn the lock and disappear
And all it takes is one more step and then I'm hеre
