When I drive down this empty road I'm thinkin' about all those things that you told I'll be fine I just need a little time My windows are rolled down Music is so loud But I don't hear a sound I'll be fine I just need a little time Go out for a walk, the cold creases my lungs I light up my cigar But I don't want it enough I'll be fine I just need a little time Before I lose my mind BRIDGE Well I know I didn't mean For this to happen And yet it might Then I go on back through the things that I told you And then I know, deep down I know, I was right I just need some piece of mind To find myself with no one else I'll be fine I just need a little more Just a little time A little more time I'll be fine I just need a little more time

If I were you I would tell myself that I am and wrong If I were you I would tell myself that I shouldn't wait here for you That is what I would do If I were you I would leave here, go far away Maybe the Moon And If I were you I would sit across this table Waiting for the truth If I were you If I were you I'll understand when I see you again I'll understand, you don't need me anymore I'll be a man, you won't see me lost again I'll understand. It's all good If I were you I wouldn't know what to say to myself If I were you I'd close the door on all of this But I would still fly to the Moon If I were you If I were you I would tell myself that I am wrong And If I were you I would tell myself that I shouldn't wait here for you That is what I would do That is what I would do I'll understand when I see you again I'll understand, you don't need me anymore I'll be a man, you won't see me lost again I'll be a man, you won't see me again I'll understand I'll understand I'll understand It's all good...

Loudly Quiet 05:16
Trying to form words from my thoughts And I don’t know how And I feel so numb that everything is aching The air could knock me down But I’m still standing I’m still standing here But I’m still standing I’m still standing here Walking through puddles of snow Winter glistens in my eye And I wish that I could fall right through the ground beneath my feet But then I whispered into my own ear I’m still standing I’m still standing here I’m still breathing I still breathe the air Here I am Hold my hand Here I am Hold my hand But I’m still standing

Caught in Hell Bleeding out You hold my hand While I scream and shout That’s when it hit Get your mind over it Little lies We tell ourselves I was your man There was nobody else That’s when it hit Get your mind over it Awake in the dark I cannot sleep I see your face It’s just starting back at me That’s when it hit Get your mind over it Bridge There is so So much pain I wanna feel it all Let it simmer in my veins Losing control Let it all slip away You explained it to me So black and white But I dug down deep It’s never that cut and dried That’s when it hit Get your mind over it (x3)

Drift Away 03:13
I walked on down to the river But I only found a lake And I drifted further with the current Please don’t let me drift far away The rain falls down from the pale sky It sees just what it wants to see It knows only what it knows It’s just gonna fly with the breeze So I walked on down to the river But I only found a lake And I drifted further with the current Please don’t let me drift far away People all around me walkin’ To wherever they need to be And I’m trying to look at all their faces But they’re just passin’ me by down the street So I walked on down to the river But I only found a lake And I drifted further with the current Please don’t let me drift far away Then I headed in search of the ocean But instead I found myself a sea Well it took away some pain and confusion And now the Sun may shine out over me So I walked on down to the river But I only found a lake And I drifted further with the current Please don’t let me drift far away So I walked on down to the river But I only found a lake And I drifted further with the current Please don’t let me drift far away Please don’t let me drift far away Please don’t let me drift far away Please don’t let me drift far away
