1. NEW TATTOO

Sometime in the summer of '96
I was off on a road trip
A couple hundred bucks and a case of beer
Outside Panama City limits is where it all begins

2 am. I saw hazard lights
Appeared to be a dame distressed in the night
She was 5 foot 6 and damn she was built
I slammed on the brakes and got sideways and told her to get in

She said, where you headed to the city?
I said yeah! I'm gonna have some fun
She tossed her hair back in confidence
And said mind if I come?

2 days later we ain't left the room
Did all in there that we could think to do
I could see she was restless so we hit the town
Ended up at a place where the windows read
Tattoos, piercings, belly rings here
Tattoos, piercings, belly rings here

Into the back she whet and disappeared
Reappeared an hour later cheesing ear to ear
I thought hell I need to try and get back there
When she unzipped her pants and said looky here:

I gotta brand new tattoo
All the colors in it remind me of you
The blue is for the bruise that you left in my heart
And the red if for the color we're 'bout to paint this town
Oooh, I gotta new tattoo

One week passed, woke up a day late for work
I found my goodtime gone and she took my shirt
Drove by all the places that we had been
There was one where the windows read
Tattoos, piercings, belly rings here
Tattoos, piercings, belly rings here

Into the back I went and disappeared
Reappeared an hour later cheesing ear to ear

And I, cannot forget
That smile when she said

I gotta brand new tattoo


2. ADDICTED

I'm so addicted to
All the things you do
When you're going down on me
In between the sheets
All the sound you make
With every breath you take
It's unlike anything
When you're loving me

Oh girl lets take it slow
So as for you well you know where to go
I want to take my love and hate you 'til the end

It's not like you to turn away
From all the bullshit I can't take
It's not like me to walk away

I'm so addicted to all the things
You do when you're going down on me
In between the sheets
All the sound you make
With every breath you take
It's unlike anything
When you're loving me

Yeah

I know when it's getting rough
All the times we spend
When we try to make
This love something better than
Just making love again

It's not like you to turn away
All the bullshit I can't take
Just when I think I can walk away,

I'm so addicted to all the things
You do when you're going down on me
In between the sheets
All the sound you make
With every breath you take
It's unlike anything

I'm so addicted to the things you do
When you're going down on me
All the sound you make with every breath you take
It's unlike anything when you're loving me
Yeah
When you're loving me

How can I make it through
All the things you do
There's just got to be more to you and me

I'm so addicted to all the things you do
When you're going down on me
In between the sheets
All the sound you make with every breath you take
It's unlike anything
It's unlike anything

I'm so addicted to
All the things you do
When you're going down on me

All the sound you make with every breath
You take it's unlike anything
I'm so addicted to you
Addicted to you


3. SHE GOT OVER ME

A little heartache goes a long way
Guess this is what love is all about
I missed on monday, a terrible tuesday
Maybe someday I can work it out
But here we go again, it's finally sinking in

Thats just my kind of luck
But I'm not given up
I don't know what I'm thinkin
She got over me
Thats no way to look
When you start addin up
I guess I must be dreamin
She got over me
Whoa I'm over this feelin

Yes I'll admit it hard to handle it
I stood my ground, anything goes now
You don't ever let it get me down
Maybe someday I can work it out
But here we go again
Whoa it's finally sinkin in

Thats just my kind of luck
But I'm not given up
I don't know what I'm thinkin
She got over me
Thats no way to look
When you start addin up
I guess I must be dreamin
She got over me
Whoa I'm over this feelin

Are you starin at the ceilin?
Are you counting all the stars?
Knowing I'm there in your heart
All is fair in love and war, you'll find your way
Thanks for the battle scars

Thats just my kind of luck
But I'm not given up
I don't know what I'm thinkin
She got over me
Thats no way to look
When you start addin up
I guess I must be dreamin
She got over me
She got over me
Whoa I'm over this feelin
She got over me


4. 18 DAYS

Its been 18 days
Since I'd look at myself
I don't wanna have to change
If I don't then no one will
Is it my state of mind
Or is it just everything else
I don't wanna have to be here
I don't understand it now

Cause its been 18 days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feels like a lifetime
I'm trying hard to re-arrange
Some say its the hardest thing to do
But that's another 18 days
Without you..

Time after time
I've been through this
You show me what it means to live
You give me hope when I was hopeless
As my days fade to night
I remember that state of mind
I'm soaring straight into your heart
And I'll fly high

Cause it's been 18 days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feels like a lifetime
I'm trying hard to re-arrange
Some say it's the hardest thing to do
But that's another 18 days
Without you

And I know what they say
About all good things
Will they come to an end?
But I'll fight this time
So that we might
Have a chance at this

Cause it's been 18 days
Since I'd look at myself
I don't wanna have to change
If I don't then no one will

Cause its been too many days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels just like
It feels like a lifetime
I'm trying hard to re-arrange
Some say it's the hardest thing to do
But that's just too many days without you

And I know what they say
About all good things
Will they come to an end?
But I'll fight this time
So that we might
Have a chance at this


5. DROWNINF (FACE DOWN)

Times before I walked through the valley
Below the sun
I've wandered endlessly and waited for
My time to come

I think I'm drowning
Can someone lend a hand?
Can someone save me?
Cause I don't think I can

I've gone too far to turn around
It's hard to reach for you
When I'm lying face down
I can't relieve my soul
I'm lost in a moment
Lying face down

Returning home I find myself
Wishing I was already gone
But how long does it take to find me
Well I'm waiting for someone

I think I'm drowning
Can someone lend a hand?
Can someone save me?
Cause I don't think I can

I've gone too far to turn around
It's hard to reach for you
When I'm lying face down
I can't relieve my soul
I'm lost in a moment
Lying face down

I've gone too far to turn around
It's hard to reach for you
When I'm lying face down
I can't relieve my soul
I'm lost in a moment
Lying, Lying

I've gone too far to turn around
I've gone too far to turn around
In a moment
Lying face down


6. IN GOD’S EYES

Heaven knows, the devil's told
Everything on you is getting out of control
I see your fist raised up and clinched
I know you better than this

Don't hold your breath
Just get as far away as you can possibly get
I know you better than you
I'm takin' my time cause I got nothing to do

Wait a minute something's wrong
I know it won't take long
Let's burn a hole into the sky
And take a look into God's eyes

I know it don't seem right
But it won't take all night
I'm not tryin' to save the planet
I just don't like this noose I'm hangin' from

Red faced, short breathed
Yeah Im takin' it all until there's nothing left
For you to prove
Yeah I'm takin' my time cause I got nothing to do

Wait a minute something's wrong
I know it won't take long
Let's burn a hole into the sky
And take a look into God's eyes

I know it don't seem right
But it won't take all night
I'm not tryin' to save the planet
I just don't like this noose I'm hangin' from

Why don't you make up your mind
Why don't you make up your mind
Why don't you make up your mind

Why don't you make up your mind
Why don't you make up your mind
Why don't you make up your mind

Wait a minute something's wrong
I know it won't take long
Let's burn a hole into the sky
And take a look into God's eyes

I know it don't seem right
But it won't take all night
I'm not tryin' to save the planet
I just don't like this noose I'm hangin' from


7. SAILED AWAY

Does it hurt to hear me say
That I never really meant to stay
I left you right where I want you
Now there's nothin' left
And not a reason
There's nothin' left to believe in
When just one remains
I've sailed away

Such a foolish game
That we have been playin'
Now you got me right where you want me
I left you in the right
But you wouldn't let me take the fall
Now you've got me right where you want me

Now there's nothin' left
And that's the reason
There's not much left to believe in
If it's all just the same
I'll sail away
You pushed so hard
You have to know that
You might just get what you wanted
And when just one remains
I've sailed away

I found out on my own
Everything that I've been missin'
Now I've got you right where I want you
Now that we're apart
I see just who you are
You're always gonna be
The one to keep hatin'
Now I've got you right where I want you

Now there's nothin' left
And that's the reason
There's not much left to believe in
If it's all just the same
I'll sail away
You pushed so hard
You have to know that
You might just get what you wanted
And when just one remains
I've sailed away

I'm not one to hide my face behind the pain
It's not like me to beg you to stay
I'll just sail away

Now there's nothin' left
And that's the reason
There's not much left to believe in
If it's all the same
I'll sail away
You pushed so hard
You have to know that
You might just get what you wanted
And when just one remains
You know I've sailed away

And when just one remains
You know I've sailed away

Does it hurt to hear me say
That I never really meant to stay


8. BEAUTIFUL DAY

I started out today
Thinking 'bout something else
As you lay beside me
It was a rude awakening
As I wiped the sleep from my eyes

But it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful sunrise
I don't want to see you cry

You started whispering
This can't be happening
Cause I don't want to lose my cool
But was it something I said
Or something I did
Ooh, to spark a flame
But it hurts to see your face
It hurts to hear you cry
It hurts to see the look in your eyes

Cause it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful sunrise
Well I don't want to see you cry
But I can take away your pain
The feelings just the same
But I can't stand to see you cry

The list goes on and on
There's never enough
But who is when and when is where
We've been there it's tough
But if I've come to far
It's not far enough
We'll get there just take your time realize
Believe in me

Cause it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful sunrise
And I can't stand to see you cry
But I can take away your pain
The feelings just the same yea
Well I can't stand to see you cry

But it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful sunrise
Oh I just want to see you smile
Cause I can take away your pain
The feelings just the same
Yea, I just want to see you smile

The list goes on and on


9. OUT OF MY FACE

I'm not the man you want of me
I'm not the same I used to be
I think for myself now
I don't need you in my ear
I'd love to hit you in the face
I'd love to know you've gone away
I don't wanna see you again
I hope you can understand me

Get out of my face
Get out of my sight
Get out of my head and give me back my piece of mind
I don't understand why you think you
Can do the things you can't

So get out of my face
Get out of my sight
Get out of my head and give me back my piece of mind
My piece of mind

You're so mad 'cause your losing control
You don't know which way is safe to go
Everything is so fake
I don't know what else to say
You'll see somehow some day
Some way you'll see believe me

Get out of my face
Get out of my sight
Get out of my head and give me back my piece of mind
I don't understand why you think you
Can do the things you can't

So get out of my face
Get out of my sight
Get out of my head and give me back my piece of mind
My piece of mind

Get out of my face
Get out of my sight
Get out of my head

Get out of my face
Get out of my sight
Get out of my head and give me back my piece of mind
I don't understand why you think you
Can do the things you can't

So get out of my face
Get out of my sight
Get out of my head and give me back my piece of mind
My piece of mind

Get out of my face
Get out of my sight
Get out of my head

Bring me back my piece of mind

So get out of my face
Get out of my sight
Get out of my head and give me back my piece of mind
My piece of mind


10. RUNNING FROM YOU

I say goodbye to the rearview mirror
As a silhouette fades of you
Well I hope you think that I'll be back someday,
Someday I'll only be back just to leave you again
Ooo, I've only come back just to leave you again and again
I guess I'll never leave

I'm running from you
Can I get any further away?
It feels like the first time...I've been in love
If I'm running from you
Will you follow me down to the end?
If I fall again, will you say goodbye?
Will you say goodbye? Yeah yeah...

I pulled into this town and I'm knocking on your door
Before the morning sun sets
On my face as I'm staring at your face
And today I've only come back just to leave you again
Ooo, I've only come back just to leave you again and again
I guess I'll never leave

Oh I'm running from you
Can I get any further away?
It feels like the first time...I've been in love
If I'm running from you
Will you follow me down to the end?
If I fall again, will you say goodbye?
Will you say goodbye? Yeah yeah...

If I stay, you've got to understand
It's my authority, I can leave if I want
I'm my own man

If I'm running from you
Can I get any further away?
It feels the first time...I've been in love
If I'm running from you
Will you follow me down to the end?
If I fall again, will you goodbye?
Will you say goodbye? Yeah...
Say goodbye? Yeah yeah

If I'm running from you


11. BEAUTIFUL YOU

I'm in free fall,
Straight up out of control
Full of words of wisdom
Seeing double vision,
From a dead on head on
Crash course in collision
A sucker for a kind word
From every voice I've heard
This is my answer for you

There you go again being beautiful you
Setting fire to all you hold on to
Theres a place in my head portraying a one-sided view
I'm letting go again
Won't be another friend
To a beautiful, beautiful you

I'm a concept in the human race
A mere burnt image
Another shade of grace
Provoked by pride
Barely holding on to life
A prejudice lover always and forever
Cause this is my answer for you

There you go again being beautiful you
Setting fire to all you hold on to
Theres a place in my head portraying a one-sided view
I'm letting go again
Won't be another friend
To a beautiful, beautiful you

I keep hearing what you said
It keeps playing over and over again

There you go again being beautiful you
Setting fire to all you hold on to
Theres a place in my head portraying a one-sided view
I'm letting go again
Won't be another friend
To a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful you
