Sunshine
written by Martin Strayer, Emily Robison, Martie Maguire, Jonatha Brooke, Alex Dezen
You tell me that you don't like people
You can only believe in yourself
You pity
all those who lack your higher breeding
So I can see the reason you don't have anybody left
Could it be you
wear your fur on the inside,
Prefer not to go outside where the sky is way too blue
Tonight you'll grace us with all your inner presence
While your backhanded compliments let the air out
of the room
Hey, don't rain on my parade and kill a perfect day, wasting my time
Hey, you always find a way to bring
me down when I feel fine...
We call you sunshine
I'm just an angel that sits up on your shoulder
Says the world
will pass you over while you're waiting for a crown
You're no stranger to the art of how to fake it
You play until you
break it, you make it hard to be around
Hey, don't rain on my parade and kill a perfect day, wasting my time
Hey,
you always find a way to bring me down when I feel fine...
We call you sunshine
We call you sunshine
Someday
you'll be up on your mountain
High above the clouds where you can never be found
But you start a fire just to beg for
intervention
You like the drama and attention, God forbid we bring you down
Hey, don't rain on my parade and kill
a perfect day, wasting my time
Hey, you always find a way to bring me down when I feel fine
Hey, don't rain on my parade
and kill a perfect day, wasting my time
Hey, you always find a way to bring me down when I feel fine
We call you sunshine
We
call you sunshine
Amelita
written by Emily Robison, Martie Maguire
Amelita, come to see ya
And I finally now know the truth
Oh, I found
you in your costume
And the comb in your hair is the proof
Am I right, Amelita
You just stand there with nothing
to say
While they watch you play Lolita
So I've come here to take you away
Oh they lured you and we lost you
When
he promised to make you a star
Oh he fooled you and it cost you
And the age on your face shows the scars
Oh my
good friend I can see you
As a young girl with stars in your eyes
What a beauty, such a dancer
Now you lay out your
heart like a prize
Have you no pride?
You've got the rest of your life
I take your hand, let's go tonight
Just
leave it all, I promise you'll be fine
Across the bridge, the lights of town
You smile and then you turn around and
run…
You run… Amelita
Have you no pride?
You've got the rest of your life
Where have you gone
my friend?
The light in your eyes is gone, gone, gone
I take your hand let's go tonight
Just leave it all, I
promise you'll be fine
Across the bridge the lights of town
You smile and turn around and run…Amelita
Have
you no pride?
You've got the rest of your life
I take your hand let's go tonight
Just leave it all, I promise
you'll be fine
Across the bridge the lights of town
You smile and then you turn around and run
You run… Amelita
Have
you no pride?
You've got the rest of your life
Have you no pride?
Hey yeah, yeah yeah
The World Smiles
written by Martie Maguire, Martin Strayer, Emily Robison, Greg Kurstin, Tyler Lyle
We go on pretending
The whole world is ending
We follow the tragic and forgo the magic
I'm done yeah, I'm through with singin' the blues and
I'm learning the best things in life are free
And we're all crazy
But that don't phase me
Even in the dark
Just wait and see...
The world smiles
The world smiles at me
If I believe in the good stuff and open my eyes up
The world smiles
I've been there, the sadness
The breakdowns, the madness,
The lesson in the story that goes on before me
Sometimes I don't know
When to fight and when to let it go
I won't let the question bring me down
A little baby
What's she gonna be
She may have al the answers
Wait and see
The world smiles
All the world smiles at me
If I believe in the good stuff and open my eyes up
The world smiles
Oh, call me crazy
But that don't phase me
Even in the dark
Just wait and see...
The world smiles
The world smiles at me
If I believe in the good stuff and open my eyes up
The world smiles
If I believe in the good stuff and open my eyes up
The world smiles
Aimless Upward
written by Martin Strayer, Emily Robison, Tyler Lyle
Part of me is a climbing vine
A ball of nerves like a ball of twine
Laws
of love and gravity
We are seeds with promises to keep
Part of me is a setting sun
In my skin and in my lungs
Almost
wholly mystery
We are seeds with promises to keep
My eyes are wide
Aimless upward I will rise and
I'll be
fine to take my time
It's a gift to see the stormy skies
But too much rain and the waters rise
I've got steady
hands when my roots are deep
We are seeds with promises to keep
My eyes are wide
Aimless upward I will rise and
I'll
be fine to take my time
Take my time
We fool ourselves with our happy tunes
Convinced the beauty is in the bloom
Can
I let go of my vanity
We are seeds with promises to keep
My eyes are wide
Aimless upward I will rise and
I'll
be fine to take my time
And eyes are wide
Aimless upward and I will rise and
I'll be fine and take my time
Yes,
I'll take my time
A Guy Like You
written by Martin Strayer, Martie Maguire
I'm sittin' here alone on Sunday
Just thinkin' if I had my own way
I'd
be sippin' on a gin and tonic
In an oxford with your scent on it
Just happy hangin' out
Nobody tryin' to figure
me out
Nobody tryin' to figure me out
Well I've had my days of hell and heartbreak
But good times so "what the
hell" I say
I'm just happy hangin' out
Nobody tryin' to figure me out
I look up and smile at the clouds and
I
Make a kiss and throw a wish out
I run home just to write it all down
Anything to make it work out
With a guy
like you
I fooled a friend and I got your number
I'm old fashioned so I wait and wonder
We go on hypothetical
dream dates
I hear you laugh and I see your sweet face
And all's perfect in the world today
Yeah, it's just a
crazy little game I play
I look up and smile at the clouds and I
Make a kiss and throw a wish out
I run home
just to write it all down
Anything to make it work out
With a guy like you
Yeah, I look up and smile at the clouds
and I
Make a kiss and throw a wish out
I run home just to write it all down
Anything to make it work out
With
a guy like you
I'm sittin' here alone on Sunday
Just hopin' you will be here some day
Rock All Night
written by Emily Robison, Martin Strayer
Here you come now and take my hand
We're gonna go see the tattooed man
Some roller coaster medicine
We'll bum a ticket so they'll let us in for the ride
Rattlesnakes hide in the parking lot
They offer us a taste of what they've got
But I've got music to get me high
We go crazy when they turn out the lights
And we fly... yeah we fly
We're gonna rock all night
We'll do anything just to feel alive
Life is like a Himalaya ride
Gonna rock all night
Something 'bout guitar players make me hot
I wanna see 'em sweat and give it all he's got
But even when he's marking time
All the girls are gonna say he's fine
But he's mine... get in line... we're gonna rock all night
We'll do anything just to feel alive
Life is like a Himalaya ride
Gonna rock all night
Strap me in tight, turn the music up
Flood of memories where I first fell in love
Cotton candy kiss on the Himalaya ride
Carny starts it slow, we start to move
I slide to you and here we go
We'll do anything just to feel alive
Life is like a Himalaya ride
Gonna rock all night
Yeah...we'll do anything just to feel alive
Life is like a Himalaya ride
Gonna rock all night... turn it up, turn it out, turn around
We're gonna rock all night
Phoebe
written by Martie Maguire, Emily Robison, Martin Strayer
My daddy said
Keep a cool head
Don't let those pretty boys own you
Don't let them into your bed
Everyone knows
How the river of talk does flow
They'll make you weep
And you'll reap what they sow
The golden rule
You'll never learn in school
Boys can be mean
But girls are downright cruel
You're gonna make 'em pay, you're gonna make them pay
You'll have the last word today
Your daddy said
Walk away instead
Don't let those pretty girls throw you
Don't let them in your head
A small town spell
Your living hell
It's a story we've all heard before
But you won't live to tell
You're gonna make 'em pay, you're gonna make them pay
You'll have the last word today
Back from school you walk alone
Empty street and no one's home
They weaved their stories, spread their lies
Give up the fight but keep your pride
No dances on a starry night
Fro dresses in red and black
It ain't right, it ain't right
Divided
written by Martin Strayer, Emiyl Robison, Martie Maguire
We've been dividing everything that we have built between us
We spend our days together, nights we spend alone
Dressers full of love notes and a waltz around the kitchen table
It's all you'll have left me when you go
So stay a little longer
Don't let this feeling go to waste
When the sun comes up
I want to be there when you wake
Dandelion was the name you gave to me
When we drove from New England the year that we first met
They were only things standing as the winter melted
You haven't given up on me in all this time since then
So stay a little longer
Don't let this feeling go to waste
When the sun comes up
I want to be there when you wake
Work is wild along the miles of playing songs and seeing faces
I board a plane in Austin 'cause they need me on the coast
I hate to leave you all the while
Knowing that we're compromising
I wish you'd call me one last time and beg me not to go
And I'll stay a little longer
Don't let this feeling go to waste
And when the sun comes up
I wanna be there don't you
Stay a little longer
Don't let this feeling go to waste
And when the sun comes up
I want to be there when you wake
Gets You Down
written by Alex Dezen, Salim Nourallah
When life gets you down
Whatcha you gonna do?
When life gets you down
Whatcha you gonna do?
Are
you gonna stick your head in the sand?
Are you gonna turn and run just like that?
Are you gonna take a fall or stand
today?
When hearts break you down
Whatcha you gonna do?
When hearts break you down
Whatcha you gonna do?
Are
you gonna pitch a fight and cry?
Are you gonna beg the reasons why?
Are you gonna say and do what's wrong or right?
Well
you could always love me
Yeah you could always love me
Yeah you could always love me
And if it don't feel right
At
least you tried
When I let you down
Whatcha you gonna do?
When I let you down
Whatcha you gonna do?
Are
you gonna slip away in the night?
Are you gonna hold the babies tight?
Are you gonna give me more of your maybes and
mights?
Well you could always love me
Well you could always love me
You could always love me
And if it don't feel right
At least you tried
You could always love me
You could always love
me
Well you could always love me
And if it don't feel right
At least you tried
But did you try?
Watch Your Step
written by Emily Robison, Martin Strayer, Martie Maguire, Greg Kurstin
You're the guy that starts a fire
And then you walk away
It's so like you to change the rules
Just when I wanna play
But there are pitfalls, deep dark holes
A mine that you can't see
I'm just a girl
To change your world
Yeah you could fall for me
Ooh... Once you start falling down, you're way down,
and it's all over now
Ooh... You just might fall in love
You better watch you step
In the bar we sit and talk
But you're not making sense
You're tongue tied, we both know why
I scare you half to death
'Cause I'm on a trip wire, make you walk on fire
Balance on the bridge
Who knew I'd sneak up on you
And push you off the ledge
Ooh... and once you start falling down, you're way down,
and it's all over now
Ooh... You just might fall in love with me
You better watch you step
You better watch you step
It's a crash site, up all night
Making all your noise
I chalk it up to sowin' oats
And boys will be boys
But deep down, way deep down
You want someone to care
When the dust settles turn around
You know that I'll be there
Ooh... Once you start falling down, you're way down,
and it's all over now
Ooh... Once you start falling down, you're way down,
and it's all over now
Ooh... You just might fall in love with me
You better watch you step
You better watch you step
You better watch you step
You better watch you step
The Road You Take
written by Emily Robison, Martie Maguire, Martin Strayer
I've been thinkin' 'bout what it takes to fall in love these days
I've been going 'bout it the wrong
way
I've come to realize I can't be afraid to give my heart away
Never knowing if you'll stay
I thread the
needle's eye, and take a chance to know just how it feels
When you take a leap of faith
Right in front of me is
the proof I need to know that I believe
We only get the love we make
Ahhh, I, I am not alone
And I, I can journey on
I won't leave
it all to fate
It's the road I take
Lines and gravity it's the price We pay to be here in the end
And we all
live with our mistakes
In times of clarity, I see the bones we break aren't always gonna mend
But no apology's too late
Ahhh,
I, I am not alone
And I, I can journey on
I won't leave it all to fate
It's the choice you make
It's the road
we take
It's the choice I make on the road I take
I've come to realize that the roads we take have water on
the bridge
I've come to realize it can be a long wait
When it's all insanity and the walls you built have all
come caving in
And you don't know what you can take
Ahhhh, you are not alone and
Ahhhhh, you can journey on
Don't
you leave it all to fate
It's the road you take
And the road goes both ways
It's the choice we make
It's the road
you take
It's the road you take
Are You Man Enough
written by Emily Robison, Martie Maguire, Ryan Adams
Heaven and earth, body and soul
I want someone to take control
To ease my mind, to steal my soul away
I
was broken and I was cold
My dreams were heavy and growing old
Hold me now, don't let me slip away
Are you man
enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Rock my mind, roll my bones
Give me
something all my own
Surrender now without a fight
Darkest night, black as coal
You make me keep the heart you stole
I
want someone, someone tonight
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
When
I'm old, my time is done
Release me to the setting sun
Hold my hand and let me fade away
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
