Dance, monkey boy, come raise the bar Don't place your bets upon a motherloving shooting star Dance, monkey boy, chances are few This is how I know dreams don't come true I was sitting at my desk Not as worried as the rest As the teacher handed out the scores Saw my test covered in red "Oh didn't study did ya kid?" And then she pointed me towards the door If there's such a thing as luck in school Chances are few This is how I know dreams don't come true Dance, monkey boy, come raise the bar Don't place your bets upon a motherloving shooting star Dance, monkey boy, chances are few This is how I know dreams don't come true (Now let's break it down) Well she was standing by the bar As I was playing my guitar And I could see her smile from far away After drinks I hit and miss When I leaned in for a kiss But then she turned her head as if to say If you think you'll win my heart with songs Chances are few This is how I know dreams don't come true Dance, monkey boy, come raise the bar Don't place your bets upon a motherloving shooting star Dance, monkey boy, chances are few This is how I know dreams don't come true Oh hear me singin', this is how I know, this is how I know dreams don't come true Oh hear me singin', this is how I know, this is how I know dreams don't come true Oh won't you hear me singin' how I know, this is how I know dreams don't come true Oh won't you hear me singin' how I know, this is how I know dreams don't come true

Hollow 03:22
I'll keep my sorrow hidden through the day But it's not like you would see it anyway 'Cause I still got a lotta things to say But all I mumble's don't you wanna stay So don't you tell me That love's all around If I watched her As she left town Loving only got me feeling hollow inside Love is what has got me in this trouble Loving gave me chances to be by your side But if I love someone else I'll hurt double I'll leave her hollow Well seems like rainy days are here to stay But it's not like you would see it anyway I hope that ticket took you far away Guess I wasn't enough reason to stay So don't you tell me That love's all around If I watched her As she left town Loving only got me feeling hollow inside Love is what has got me in this trouble Loving gave me chances to be by your side But if I love someone else I'll hurt double Honey, don't look twice towards that hollow boy Honey, don't you dare get near that trouble Honey, don't look twice towards that hollow boy Honey, don't you dare get near that trouble Honey, don't look twice towards that hollow boy Honey, don't you dare get near that trouble

Hey you, right there You look like this could be a good night You look like i could make you my wife And you can do me no wrong I'd say But you're talking like you'll ruin my life And I could write you some songs On the way Take my heart and walk away I've lived through this before But don't take my hand Love won't fool me no more I guess this is my happy song Don't get me wrong I know my notes are too sad I hope that you don't feel so bad When I just sing and dream away On a lonely cloudy friday afternoon Take my heart and walk away I've lived through this before But don't take my hand Love won't fool me no more Oh don't you think it's funny How I blew all my money How I missed out on luck and love Oh love Now I feel like such a fool For following her rules How I'd kill for some luck and love Now weeks are longer And nights are colder And I can't warm your feet from here My dear Hope you get used to the weather That you missed when We were together and Let me say it one more time I might convince myself Sing Take my heart and walk away I've lived through this before But don't take my hand Love won't fool me no more

Take Me Away 03:19
I wanna see you In the morning When my phone hits 12 p.m. I wanna hear you Telling stories As the cab takes us back home And as we see sunlight You say honey, it's too early to fight Well if that's you, then Say yes, won't you honey Screw the money Won't you take me? Say yes, come on darling I'm just mumbling Won't you take me away? I wanna feel your Lips against me Whispering to stay in bed I wanna be there At the deep end I'll be the place to lay your head And as we see sunlight You'll say honey, it's too early to fight Well if that's so Say yes, won't you honey Screw the money Won't you take me? Say yes, c'mon darling I'm just mumbling Won't you take me away? Say yes, won't you honey Screw the money Won't you take me? Say yes, c'mon darling I'm just mumbling Won't you take me away?

The Tide 03:36
It's too late to do anything but too early to snooze Let's watch some silly videos while we warm ourselves with booze And we haven't left the bed all day Like sleeping in and going out's the only way We've found to make the offtime any good Guess I'm built for the road, like a mobile home Cuz when we're off tour I start to feel alone Man the crowds are getting bigger and they know most of the songs And when I come back to the city I feel like something's wrong I get unproductive, we start sleeping late We forget about our goals and miss track of the date You say "honey, our future's open wide, Let's enjoy it, and try to sail through this tide" Isn't it better if we go Side by side Hand in hand Against the tide we'll row Man I know I'm no position To complain when I skipped through my tuittion I could've been a grad with a steady gig Now I'm travelling through the world just to make it big And I don't, wanna waste your time Wanna waste your money, like to spend my life Just for one more album, one more song Talking bout' the things that I did wrong And it's killing me, I wanna show my folks And my friends back home that I have high hopes That someday, those empty shows wil be thousands, you never know Isn't it better if we go Side by side Hand in hand Against the tide we'll row Make it stop that deafening silence Fill it with applause or I'll fill it with violence Give me peace for a night or two That ringing in your ears when the crowd wants you Now I'm back in the mass of nameless faces If it is like they say that we're "Going places" Let me know when we get there, Katto Cuz right now I'm dead scared Buy a house, when you make it big Have some kids! When you make it big Remember me! when you make it big What if I tell you, I already feel big Isn't it better if we go Side by side Hand in hand Against the tide we'll row

Puzzle Piece 03:17
You are Better than the rest I confess I don't regret the way That we first met You are Proof of happy endings With a little bit of mending We might finally have got this right You are, you are The odd-shaped puzzle piece I'll save for the end You are, you are The happy anomaly I'm happy to call More than a friend You've got My sense of humor But the days are getting fewer So I'll make space for you You look Sexy in those glasses I'm not taking any chances I'll hold you tight and won't let go You are, you are The odd-shaped puzzle piece I'll save for the end You are, you are A happy anomaly I'm happy to call You owe me nothing But can I ask something, Will you stay in my life? You owe me nothing Can I ask something Will you never leave? You owe me nothing But can I ask something, Will you stay in my life? You owe me nothing Can I ask something Will you never leave? You owe me nothing Can I ask something, Will you stay in my life? You owe me nothing Can I ask something Will you never leave? You are, you are The odd-shaped puzzle piece I'll save for the end You are, you are A happy anomaly I'm happy to call You are, you are The odd-shaped puzzle piece I'll save for the end
