Change

And it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you
Somebody else gets what you wanted again
You know it's all the same, another time and place
Repeating history and you?re getting sick of it

But I believe in whatever you do
And I'll do anything to see it through

Because these things will change, can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win

We'll sing hallelujah!
We'll sing hallelujah! Oh

So we've been outnumbered, raided and now cornered
It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair
We're getting stronger now from things they never found
They might be bigger but we're faster and never scared

You can walk away and say we don't need this
But there's something in your eyes says we can beat this

'Cause these things will change, can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win

We'll sing hallelujah!
We'll sing hallelujah! Oh

Tonight we standed on our knees
To fight for what we worked for all these years
And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives
Will we stand up champions tonight?

It was the night things changed, can you see it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down
It's a revolution, throw your hands up, 'cause we never gave in

We'll sing hallelujah!
We sang hallelujah!
Hallelujah!

Chaperone Dads

Oooo Chaperone Dads
(I mastered the tambourine)

Ooooooo
You just got off of work,
The last thing you do
is wanna do is go and

You?re doing the right thing

Your daughters 14th birthday
And you got her two tickets.
And she said can I have some more
Cause my friends and I all wanna go Dad,
You don?t have to go

I don?t need a love
But there is one thing
Love has taught me
It?s to never expect too much
Don?t need a believable touch
I just need you
I just need you

Don?t need mine, I found mine
Why should we be wasting time?
You don?t know what you missed
I look into your eyes like this
And you should be in front of me
Seeing everything I see
Looking at you
Check out this view

Think of a quiet beach
Think of how the waves crash down
Think about a summer?s eve
No offense to them but I thank I?m not there
With you, walk in a room
In the light or in the dark
Well nothing shadows who you are

You don?t know what you missed
I look into your eyes like this
And you should be in front of me
Seeing everything I see
Looking at you
Check out this view

I look outside the window
Every day see something new
But all I ever wanted was a
Window looking at you, at you

And you don?t know what you missed
I look into your eyes like this
And you should be in front of me
Seeing everything I see
You don?t know what you missed
I look into your eyes like this
And you should be in front of me
Seeing everything I see
Looking at you

Christmas Must Be Something More

What if ribbons and bows didn't mean a thing?
Would the song still survive without 5 golden rings?
Would you still wanna kiss without mistletoe?
What would happen if God never let it snow?
What would happen if Christmas Carols told a lie?
Tell me what would you find?

You'd say that today holds something special
Something holy and not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more

What if angels did not pay attention to
All the things that we wish they would always do?
What if happiness came in a cardboard box?
Then I'd think there was something we all forgot
What would happen if presents all went away?
Tell me, what would you find?

You'd say that today holds something special
Something holy and not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more

We get so caught up in all of it
Business and relationships, 100 mile an hour lives
And it's this time of year and everybody's here
It seems the last thing on your mind

It's that the day holds something special
Something holy and not superficial
So here's to Jesus Christ who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
But here's something you should know that is for sure

Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something more
There's gotta be more
There's gotta be more

Christmases When You Were Mine

Please take down the misletoe
Cause I don't wanna think about that right now
Cause everything I want is miles away
In a snow covered little town
My momma's in the kitchen, worrying about me
Season's greetings, hope you're well
Well I'm doing alright
If you were wondering
Lately I can never tell

I know this shouldn't be a lonely time
But there were Christmases when you were mine

I've been doing fine without you, really
Up until the nights got cold
And everybody's here, except you, baby
Seems like everyone's got someone to hold

But for me it's just a lonely time
Cause there were Christmases when you were mine

Merry Christmas everybody
That'll have to be something I just say this year
I'll bet you got your mom another sweater
And were your cousins late again
When you were putting up the lights this year
Did you notice one less pair of hands

I know this shouldn't be a lonely time
But there were Christmases when I didn't wonder how you are tonight
Cause there were Christmases when you were mine

You were mine

Clean

[Verse:]
The drought was the very worst
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
It was months and months of back-and-forth
You still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore
Hum ahead as I lost the war
And the sky turned black like a perfect storm

[Chorus:]
Rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you
And I think I am finally clean

[Verse 2:]
There was nothing left to do
When the butterflies turned to dust, they covered my whole room
So I punched a hole in the roof
Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you
The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud
But no one heard a thing

[Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
Ten months sober, I must admit
Just because you clean don't mean you don't miss it
Ten months older, I won't give in
Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it
The drought was the very worst
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

[Chorus:]
Rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you
And I think I am finally clean

Closest To A Cowboy

I drive around this town
In a Mustang with the top down
And six running horses under my hood
Well that?s good enough for me
Don?t need the real thing
That?s just another thing
For me to try to tame
Don?t know if I could
It might just break me
I thought there for a little while
Every sunset I?d be a riding off with him

Snap buttons on a denim shirt
Blue jeans and a little dirt
That?s the closest you?ll see me
Feet hanging out a p***** truck
Crazy and a little rough
Running free
That?s the closest to a cowboy
You?ll see me

Before I met him
I was so sane and grounded
Before he taught me how to lie
And crawl out the window
I learned the dirt roads
And I got my heart broken
Cause that cowboy taught me how to cry
And how to let go
I thought there for a little while
Every sunset I?d be a riding off with him

Snap buttons on a denim shirt
Blue jeans and a little dirt
That?s the closest you?ll see me
Feet hanging out a p***** truck
Crazy and a little rough
Running free
That?s the closest to a cowboy
You?ll see me

It was all a little
Wonderful and strange
But I?ll never look
At a sunset the same night

Snap buttons on a denim shirt
Blue jeans and a little dirt
That?s the closest you?ll see me
Feet hanging out a p***** truck
Crazy and a little rough
Running free
Sitting fishing by the river bank
Swimming in the water tank
That?s the closest you?ll see me
Feet hanging out a p***** truck
Crazy and a little rough
Running free
That?s the closest to a cowboy
You?ll see me

Cold As You

You have a way of coming easily to me.
And when you take, you take the very best of me.
So I start a fight 'cause I need to feel somethin'
And you do what you want 'cause I'm not what you wanted.

(CHORUS)
Oh, what a shame.
What a rainy ending given to a perfect day.
Just walk away,
no use defending words that you will never say.
And now that I'm sittin' here thinkin' it through,
I've never been anywhere cold as you.

You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray.
And I stood there lovin' you and washed them all away.
And you come away with a great little story
of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you.

(CHORUS)
Oh, what a shame.
What a rainy ending given to a perfect day.
So just walk away, no use defending words that you will never say.
And now that I'm sittin' here thinkin' it through,
I've never been anywhere cold as you.

You never did give a damn thing, honey.
But I cried, cried for you.
And I know you wouldn't have told nobody if I died, died for you.
(Died for you)

Oh, what a shame.
What a rainy ending give to a perfect day.
Every smile you fake is so condescending.
Counted all the scars you made.
Now that I'm sittin her thinkin' it through,
I've never been anywhere cold as you

Come Back... Be Here

You said it in a simple way,
4 AM, the second day,
How strange that I don't know you at all.
Stumbled through the long goodbye,
One last kiss, then catch your flight,
Right when I was just about to fall

I told myself don't get attached,
But in my mind I play it back,
Spinning faster than the plane that took you...

And this is when the feeling sinks in,
I don't wanna miss you like this,
Come back... be here, come back... be here.
I guess you're in New York today,
I don't wanna need you this way,
Come back... be here, come back... be here.

The delicate beginning rush,
The feeling you can know so much,
Without knowing anything at all.
And now that I can put this down,
If I had known what I'd known now,
I never would have played so nonchalance.

Taxi cabs and busy streets,
That never bring you back to me,
I can't help but wish you took me with you...

And this is when the feeling sinks in,
I don't wanna miss you like this,
Come back... be here, come back... be here.
I guess you're in London today,
I don't wanna need you this way,
Come back... be here, come back... be here.

This is falling in love in the cruelest way,
This is falling for you and you are worlds away.

New York... be here.
But you're in London and I break down,
'Cause it's not fair that you're not around.

This is when the feeling sinks in,
I don't wanna miss you like this,
Come back... be here, come back... be here.
I guess you're in New York today,
And I don't wanna need you this way,
Come back... be here, come back... be here.

I don't wanna miss you like this.
Come back... be here.
Come back... be here.

Come In With The Rain

I could go back to every laugh
But I don't wanna go there anymore
And I know all the steps up to your door
But I don't wanna go there anymore

Talk to the wind, talk to the sky
Talk to the man with the reasons why
And let me know what you find

I'll leave my window open
'Cause I'm too tired at night to call your name
But just know I'm right here hopin'
That you'll come in with the rain

I could stand up and sing you a song
But I don't wanna have to go that far
And I, I've got you down, I know you by heart
And you don't even know where I start

Talk to yourself, talk to the tears
Talk to the man who put you here
And don't wait for the sky to clear

I'll leave my window open
'Cause I'm too tired at night to call your name
Oh, just know I'm right here hopin'
That you'll come in with the rain

I've watched you so long
Screamed your name
I don't know what else I can say

But I'll leave my window open
'Cause I'm too tired at night for all these games
Just know I'm right here hopin'
That you'll come in with the rain

I could go back to every laugh
But I don't wanna go there anymore
