Where I'm From

Time keeps pushing onward
it don't care how you feel or what you're going through
you can't count on a thing in this world
cause something changes for everything you do
four years later you aint got a home, you aint got a home to come home to
it's not where i'm from it's where i'm goin
and i'm not quite sure if i ever belongs
now i watch this river keep on flowin
and the only place i called my own is gone
the tree and the rope swing are a grocery store
and every time i turn my back it seems as if they're building more
the simple folk got rich and famous
and did everything they could to change this town
now i'm not around
cause it's not where i'm from it's where i'm goin
and i'm not quite sure if i ever belongs
now i watch this river keep on flowin
and the only place i called my own is gone
and while the city sleeps
i feel the sand beneath my feet
and i remember why it's hard for me
i remember why it's hard to leave
it's not where i'm from it's where i'm goin
and i'm not quite sure if i ever belongs
now i watch this river keep on flowin
and the only place i called my own is gone

Anything and Everything

I'll be honest and tell you everything i feel cause i promised this and owe you just that much
but the past has come and gone and I've held it in for oh so long,
coming clean means everything to me
say that words mean nothing anyway.
to begin with i didn't mean to cause you pain
i was trying to do what i felt was right
and after all that's come this world has left us both undone
seein' you means everything to me
say that words mean something
say you'd give anything and everything to have me by your side
i would give anything and everything to hold you one more time
cause i can't help but notice you anyway
where would i be without you? you've gotten me this far
and i don't think i could make it on my own
and is there anything that i could even say
to change everything and make it fade away
say that words mean something
say you'd give anything and everything to have me by your side
i would give anything and everything to hold you one more time
cause i can't help but notice you anyway

Bedroom Eyes

I keep thinking you'll come knockin' at my door
to apologize for all the nights you spent away from me
and i don't think that it's to much to expect
the life your promised me before you knew this world so well
and I'm waiting for you to find your way back to
the way you were before you fell apart
and I'm sure you'll run away and you'll be just fine
if you can keep me off of your mind
new boy new car new hair new scars
and i can tell it's hard
to keep me off your mind
some things will never fade no matter how hard you pray
and I'll be on your heart until the day you die
and I'm waiting for you to find your way back to
the way you were before you fell apart
and I'm sure you'll run away and you'll be just fine
if you can keep me off of your mind
the reason for your bedroom eyes
and I'll drive to Santa Barbara any day
i could only calm you down if you'd let me
do you remember the day that you met me
and how i missed at our first kiss
when i just got back from Virginia
you're so much better than this
and I'm waiting for you to find your way back to
the way you were before you fell apart
and I'm sure you'll run away and you'll be just fine
if you can keep me off of your mind
