1. Gotta Get Out 

I've seen that face before, woah

I'm in that place once more, woah

I need my level head but it's gone, oh it's gone away

Fit like a runaway train, ya di da dum

​

Oh not this fight again, woah

I'll make things right again, woah

How many swallowed cries can I take, can I take in a day

I'm fighting, I'm floating away

I'm screaming and clawing my way to the surface now

Every time I don't know what to say

​

Chorus:

I gotta get out, gotta get, gotta get, I've gotta get out, 
I gotta get out of here

I gotta get out of here, woah

​

So call me back this time, woah

I'll stay on track and on time, woah

You want my blood and sweat but you want me to give it for free

With nothing from you, pretty please

​

We've got things figured out, woah

We've read our plans aloud, woah

Oh, but all of these paper trails are just burning and blowing away

They float and they fade in a day

The best laid plans are best tested in fire or

Ever the weather will sever and fray

Chorus

​

Bridge:

And in no time, I will be all time

Singing my sweet song of freedom, of hate 'em and leave 'em

In no time, I will be all time

I will be  all time out of here, carry on out of here

​

Is that your favorite line, oh

You look me in the eye, oh

You tell me that judgment hurts when it isolates you and your bros

Then you pass it yourself from your throne, oh

​

I disconnect my mind, woah

It's soaked in turpentine, woah

And it spreads its sour mood like a tantrum caught up with the plague

Oh, what will the optimists say

Do I let it take over or fight to the death, well,

No matter which way I just can't get away

​

Chorus 2x

2. Is This My Life 
It's just another new hotel room in the tourist district

She sees the ocean views she can't afford

She sees the diamond necklace in the dresser drawer

She gets the broom and sweeps the floor

​

Is this my life, she says, is this my life?

​

She gets the bus at 4am to get to work on time

She sees the days in dollars, one more paycheck, one more paycheck

She sees them buy a fancy dress they say they'll never wear

She slips their pocket change into her purse and saunters out the door

​

Is this my life, she says, is this my life?

What can I do if I want more, if I want more, if I want more?
What can I do if I want more?

​

She sees them lounging in their beach chairs one gray afternoon

She sees the necklace and the dress and they call out to her, singing

This could be your life, they say, this could be your life

​

She looks around and slips the dress and then the necklace on

She feels her back begin to straighten and her heart begins to fill

She looks into the mirror, blows a kiss, and saunters out the door

​

Is this my life, she says, is this my life?

​

It's just a few blocks to the bus stop and another life

She feels the heads turn as she struts her stuff, her smile begins to grow

She sees her worries fading every step she takes

She sees her children thriving in a private school

She hears a wailing siren coming much too close

They throw her in and shut the door

​

Is this your life, they say, is this your life?

This is my life, she say,s this is my life

What can I do if I want more, if I want more, if I want more

What can I do if I want more?

​

What can I do if I want more?

​

3. What If We Try 
Some kind of stranger, turned fast from an easy friend

I can't get to you now 'cause I'm in my head

We got our signals crossed, yeah, and you got me turned around, 

Now we both play at games and fall up and down

​

Prechorus:
You know you thought it, you know I know you thought it

You think I might be crazy

You know you make me crazy, oh

Some passing fancy or a chance we'd both be happy

​

How do you know what's right - oh, it just keeps me awake at night

​

Chorus: 
What if we try but crash and burn

How can the best of friends survive? 
We'll be just a little bit colder, just a little bit older

Will be falling or just falling down?

​

Talked to you late last night

Can't get myself to go home, home, home, oh no, no, no

I can't let you out of my sight

So where does that moment go, and how can it come again

I gotta get to you, gotta get out of my head

​

Prechorus

Don't let that moment slip 'cause it's your whole life in that kiss

​

Chorus

​

Bridge:
We say, no matter what, you know this love is true

How can we ever see it through

​

Chorus 2x

​

4. Sing Hallelujah 
Have you forgotten me, have I blown kisses to the air?

Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah if you dare

I take no pleasure, baby, I take no pleasure in your pain

Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah in your name

​

Chorus:
I know my tale, I know myself, I know myself

I'll find the time, I'll find myself, I'll find myself

​

I lost some faith today but I learned my lesson good and hard

And that's what's left for me - empty boxes and sweet old cards

It's a long time wondering, time wondering why

It's a long time wandering, still empty inside

​

Chorus

​

Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah in the bright cold air, the bright cold air

​

5. She Says She Knows 

She says she knows I can do it much better and

She says she knows we are birds of a feather and

She sees beyond all the layers of meaning and

She knows that rhyming to me is playing someone else's game

​

And she looks at me with her wide open eyes, she says,

"Oh baby, see, it's all a symphony

The words don't mean a thing, they just fill the time and

I know that rhyming to you is playing someone else's game"

​

And she knows it's not yet over

Yeah, she can see it's not that far

But I've been chasing all these trains, I can't seem to lose my car

So, this is who we are

I was so young, I had nothing to lose when I 

Made up my mind and I took on these blues and now

I somehow still can't believe I might shake them and 
I'm here in no-man's land with my guitar and someone else's game

But I've played my part, I've been true, I've been kind, 

I said "Oh, baby see, I'm not just marking time,

The words don't mean a thing, they just need to speak, and 

I'm here in no-man's land with my guitar and someone else's game"

And I know it's not yet over

Yeah, even I can see that far

But I've been playing all these games, I can't seem to play guitar

Well, this is who we are

Chorus:

La, what we'll be is what we'll be

La, hey, and this is who we are

I've seen time run its course, I've seen fights for survival, 

I've seen missed opportunity turned into life, 

I've seen everyone else look this bull in its eyes and now

I'm jumping off the high dive fingers first in search of my own game

And I look at you with my wide open eyes, I say,

"Oh baby see, it's all a symphony, 

The words don't mean a thing, they just fill the time, and 

I'm jumping off the high dive fingers first in search of my own game."

And, we know it's not yet over

Yeah, we can see it's not that far

Oh, we just needed a few more hours to see we were fine where we are

And this is who we are

Chorus
 

6. Sing So Loud 

Do they let you sing so loud​

Do they know your undertones, do they know your undertones?

​

Do they hear you cry at night

Do they see what you've become, do they see what you've become?

​

Chorus:
And you sing your life away

You sing so loud

You scream out loud

Don't go

​

Do you see it all in gray?

Can't you read between the lines, can't you read between the lines?

​

When you stay inside all day

Don't you know your vision's blurred - from outside it's less absurd

​

Chorus

​

Bridge:

So stop chasing every single word

And stop seeing holes in what you've asked for

You can trust yourself to see the truth through the gray

​

So let's turn it on tonight

No adventure, nothing gained,

Every sacrifice explained

​

Chorus

​

Bridge
