1. Soul
Soul
(verse 1) From a freeze frame I can’t complain I can’t deny I’ve got
Good friends, a warm bed, but no sleep on the list tonight cus
Between the airwaves, often on dreary days I’m caught to contemplate there’s something I have missed
And I can’t I can’t find, I can’t I can’t

(Chorus) I keep searching for some sounds of soul and I can’t hear them but I, I never know where the
time keeps slipping when I’d give all I own just to revive what’s missing inside, oh, I want soul.

(verse 2) So tell me why innocence seems reserved for a child, it’s this apathy I’m trying to shake.
Tell me where I can find some love and care where people share instead of think of what’s to take.
Where I can I can find, I can I can

(chorus)

(bridge) when you say, oh, I don’t want to be alone but I know it’s time for me to go
Away, I don’t want to feel alone but I know I just can’t stay (X2)

(chorus)

2. Right Girl, Wrong Time
Right Girl, Wrong Time
(verse 1) So take a seat and I’ll set the scene of a tale that tells of life’s irony
Well it seems to me I’m caught in between a rock and heartbeat again.
It started with a friendly smile and we set the tone when we talked a while about
Everything from pop to politics, relationships, unhappiness

(chorus) but the fear runs through my mind will I find another so right, another so right.
Though I’m lost inside her eyes I realize I’ve got the right girl, wrong time.

(verse 2) Part 2, what do I do, do I break the ties and hope that time brings a break in the rules to
reunite, or simply say good bye? Well I,
Can’t be tied and I know that it ain’t right to fool ourselves and walk in straight lines when the
Path ahead is full of obstructions, the road to my heart’s under construction.

(chorus)

(bridge) Well we do the best we can with our time and with our plans but in the end it’s gonna be
alright. Though the time we had was sweet, I hear a drum and it’s got a beat, and I’m gonna dance into
the new sunrise.

(chorus)

3. It's Time
It's Time
(verse 1) I’ve been sitting in my room all day listening to Tom Petty play
Free falling cus I’m falling and Tommy says it’s time to take wing and fly away.
I sing along to the songs I remember, it takes me back to last September with the
Leaves falling and my dreams calling, everything seemed so far away but it’s here.

(chorus) It’s time to face some fears and it’s time to shed some tears and
It’s time to hold my head up high.
It’s time to use all of my senses, make sense of the world and all of its messes,
Make good time while the day’s still on my side.

(verse 2) I’ve been running around all day trying to get my bills all paid but I’ve
Been ignoring what my life is for and cat’s got my tongue on collection day
So I run run run run away so fast like an injured pray from the wild cats and I
Need the numbers to escape the hungry hunters but I just don’t like running with the heard

(Chorus)

(bridge) Days come, days go. Wherever it take you love, you’ve got to learn to grow you’ve got to live and go to what scares you most. What you don’t know is not what you need to fear, it’s what you need to see, it’s what you need to hear.

(Chorus)

4. Laugh With Me
Laugh With Me
(verse 1) It’s another one of these days, days with circles and
Phases hold me in the same place that I was before but
Self doubt and fear can’t clear my mind or lose the time
Quite like the stars tonight one shoots on by, you whisper with, so I’ll try, I’ll try

(Chorus) Eliza, can’t you see, your sweet love might ruin me but it’s
Love love now that’s what I need so I’ll still laugh if you, you laugh with me.

(verse 2) I wish for light in the dark and in the hearts grown hard.
I wish for peace of mind and time to realize it cus it’s a
Hard, cold, taxing toll and it’s all too easy to try to go alone oh no.

(Chorus)

(bridge) I want to feel satisfied (X2)
I can’t find it in me to be satisfied
Why can’t I feel satisfied?

(Chorus) w/
I’m a simple man with complex feelings, I’ve got bloodshot eyes and dirt on my knees but it’s you that I
want and it’s you that I need so I’ll still laugh if you, you laugh with me.

(Verse 1) Looks like some
rain clouds are movin in overhead, it's early in the morning and you don't want to leave your bed is so warm and outside is a storm of anger while the walls around you are growing tall.
I've been falling asleep for so long, I want to wake up, I want to move on. I want to fly out to the horizon, I want to break through all the silence.

(chorus) The hands on the clock don't stop for free. Seconds slip by like a summer breeze, there's no use waiting for the world to freeze I've got to leave now.
Everybody feels like rain time and time again I feel like I've been moving but I don't know where to.

(verse 2) So you
Pack your bags make a map hit the road and don't look back,
turn on the radio to the songs you know, the ones you've grown up
listening watching waiting contemplating where will you be when you're 53 with a wife and a family, can you be happy

(chorus) The hands on the clock don't stop for free. Seconds slip by like a summer breeze, there's no use waiting for the world to freeze I've got to leave now.
Everybody feels like rain time and time again I feel like I've been moving but I don't know where to.

(chorus 3) Old men tell their stories of youth, when I'm gone I want mine to prove that I left this world in a better grove than I fell into.
Where everybody feels like rain time and time again I feel like I've been moving but I don't know where to.
