FOR THE MOST PART

 

Track 1  Dropping of a Pin

I know you don’t want to hear 
About how I’ve been 
I know you don’t really care 
About the shape I’m in 
The dropping of a pin 
And we love 
And we fight 
And we laugh 
And we cry 
But I hope you can hold on to the good times 
Yes, I hope you can hold on to the good times 
While you lie next to him 
I hope you remember when love shot through your heart 
And changed the sparkling of stars 
And we love 
And we fight 
And we laugh 
And we cry 
But I hope you can hold on to the good times 
Yes, I hope you can hold on to the good times 
I know you don’t want to hear 
About how I’ve been 
I know you don’t really care 
About the shape I’m in 
The dropping of a pin 
And we love 
And we fight 
And we laugh 
And we cry 
But I hope you can hold on to the good times 
Yes, I hope you can hold on to the good times 
Yes, I hope you can hold on to the good times 
Yes, I hope you can hold on to the good times 
And while you lie next to him 
I hope you remember when my love shot through your heart 

 

Track 2  Your Whole Life

Well I hope you know I’ll always be your friend 

And I hope things work out in the end 

Even though you chose a different route 

And now your life has changed 

But your hunger for love will never be tamed 

You understand what others scratch about 

Well I’ll never know what it’s like to be on top 

So many go their whole life without a doubt 

But you’ve got your whole life to figure it out 

Simultaneously aware of what is right and what is fair 

The Holy Grail of what it’s all about 

Don’t compete with lover’s hearts 

If you can’t handle cleaning up the shards 

So there’s no need to fuss and shout 

Well I’ll never know what it’s like to be on top 

So many go their whole life without a doubt 

But you’ve got your whole life to figure it out. 

Well I’ll never know what it’s like to be on top 

So many go their whole life without a doubt 

But you’ve got your whole life 

Yes, you’ve got your whole life 

Yes, you’ve got your whole life 

To figure it out 

 

Track 3  Almost But Not Quite 

In second grade I was put behind a wall 

I could hear the talk, the walk I never saw 

No one told me what to do 

It’s the story of my life 

No matter how much you try to fit it in 

The square is square and the circle always wins 

There’s no name for my shape 

It’s the story of my life 

Almost but not quite 

It’s the story of my life 

That’s the story of my life 

Almost but not quite 

It’s the story of my life 

That’s the story of my life 

Better late than never’s 

What the teacher said 

That’s the only thing I kept inside my head 

Now I’m never on time 

It’s the story of my life 

Almost but not quite 

It’s the story of my life 

That’s the story of my life 

It’s the story of my life 

That’s the story of my life 

 

Track 4   Point of the Pace

I won’t lie, I won’t steal 
I won’t drink 
And get behind the wheel 
I won’t forget 
To kiss you goodnight 
Nod my head and smile and say 
Everything is alright 
All these promises 
All there ever is 
Nothing more to say 
Actions speak louder than words 
That’s all that matters at the end of the day 
If two can play the same game 
Then why’s it called a race 
If you’re only in it to see the finish 
Then what’s the point of the pace 
I’m not done 
I won’t give up 
I won’t stop until I’ve had enough 
I’m pretty tough 
I’m like a rock 
I don’t know when to quit 
I don’t know how to stop 
All these promises 
All there ever is 
Nothing more to say 
Actions speak louder than words 
That’s all that matters at the end of the day 
If two can play the same game 
Then why’s it called a race 
If you’re only in it to see the finish 
Then what’s the point of the pace 
All these promises 
All there ever is 
Nothing more to say 
Actions speak louder than words 
That only matters at the end of the day 
If two can play the same game 
Then why’s it called a race 
If you’re only in it to see the finish 
Then what’s the point of the pace 
What’s the point of the pace

 

Track 5   Affirmation 

All the thoughts rolling through my head 

Makes me want to die 

That which brought me going to my bed 

It’s not that hard to say goodbye 

Hold on 

Hold on 

Walk away so I don’t have to see 

The way you look at me 

Lock it up and throw away the key 

The way we used to be 

Hold on 

Hold on 

Holding on to memories 

All this time I can’t believe 

That you would try to fight for me 

Please don’t leave 

Please believe 

Please don’t leave 

Please don’t leave 

Please don’t leave 

Please don’t leave 

Hold on 

Hold on 

Hold on 

Hold on 

 

Track 6   You Are the Only One

Settle down, Baby 
Don’t you give it another thought 
'Cuz beauties like you never need what the others got 
You can search the whole world asking every other girl 
What it is that they really want 
I bet you every time a shiny silver dime 
The answer you will find 
I need a man who will stick with me 
Tell me I’ll never leave 

Give me love and your sympathy 

Time and your company 

An offered shoulder where I can cry 

Hold me until I die 

Don’t look back at the setting sun 

Say I’m the only one 

Hold on, Honey 

Let me show you just how it feels 

The kind of love you give you won’t find in any movie reels 

Cuz no giant silver screen could ever show the kind of dream 

Like the one that spins my wheels 

I only want to do the love that sees us through 

You can bet that it’s absolute 

That I’ll be the man who will stick with you 

I’ll never fly the coop 

Give you love and my sympathy 

Time is my only fee 

I will be the one to dry your eyes 

I’ll be right by your side 

Written in the stars, it’s said and done 

You are my only one 

I am I am the man I am the only one 

You are you are you are you are my only one

 

Track 7   Analytical Brains 

Forget about your worries 

Forget about your pain 

There’s nothing more discouraging 

Than analytical brains 

I’m climbing up your doorstep 

To see where you’ve been 

I’m sorry my mind crept 

It happens over and over again 

When you see the lines around your eyes 

Remember you and I 

I never had to hurry 

I’ve got too much time 

My memory is blurry 

Was it you that said goodbye 

I can’t explain the concept 

There isn’t much to say 

Most of it is nonsense 

You wouldn’t understand anyway 

When you see the lines around your eyes 

Remember you and I 

Remember you and I 

When you see the lines around your eyes 

Remember you and I 

Remember you and I 

Remember you and I

 

Track 8   Heart of a Lion 

Born with the heart of a lion 

Stronger than anyone I knew 

You were the one we’d rely on 

There wasn’t anything you couldn’t do 

Even though you’re gone from sight 

You’re always on my mind 

Not out of love 

Just out of time 

One of a kind 

Two peas in a pod 

You taught me so much about love 

Now that you made your peace with God 

You’ll have to shine on us from above 

As you leave you wave goodbye 

You tell me it’s alright 

Not out of mind 

Just out of sight 

I’ll never forget how much we laughed 

Your crooked smile and sparkling eyes 

Our time went by much too fast 

It’s so hard to grasp that everyone dies 

But now you’ve got your toes in the sand 

Sleeping inside of God’s hand 

Just going back, back where you began 

I wish I knew you when you were young 

Cuz 32 years just wasn’t enough.

 

Track 9   Why You Wanna Mess (with My Heart Like This) 

Well I’ve had this heart for 32 years 

And its seen a lot love and it’s seen a lot of tears 

And I still have what’s left of what you tore 

So thanks for making it stronger than it was before 

I wanna tell you that 

I don’t wanna play these games anymore 

Playin’ with my insides, walkin’ out the door 

We ain’t doctors, no we ain’t cardiologists so 

Why you wanna mess with my heart like this 

Why you wanna mess with my heart like this 

Why you wanna mess with my heart like this 

Why you wanna mess with my heart like this 

Why 

Poking around to see what you find 

Well I hope it’s a diamond ring and a little piece of mind 

Cuz it seems all you’ve been giving me is hard luck and lies 

A temporary fix for what satisfies 

I wanna tell you that 

I don’t wanna play these games anymore 

Messin’ with my insides, walkin’ out the door 

We ain’t doctors, no we ain’t cardiologists so 

Why you wanna mess with my heart like this 

Why you wanna mess with my heart like this 

Why you wanna mess with my heart like this 

Why you wanna mess with my heart like this 

Why, why, why, why 

Well you see a lot people throughout history 

Lookin’ like good lovin’ is the right place to be 

But it takes a lot of blood and a whole lot of sweat 

And even then it won’t get you where you want to get 

I wanna tell you that 

I wanna tell you that 

I don’t wanna play these games anymore 

Messin’ with my insides, walkin’ out the door 

We ain’t doctors, no we ain’t cardiologists so 

Why you wanna mess with my heart like this 

Why you wanna mess with my heart like this 

Why you wanna mess with my heart like this 

Why you wanna mess with my heart like this 

Why you wanna mess 

 (I don’t wanna play these games anymore) 

Why you wanna mess with my heart like this 

 (I don’t wanna play these games anymore) 

Why you wanna mess 

(I don’t wanna play these games anymore) 

Why you wanna mess with my heart like this 

(I don’t wanna play these games anymore)

 

Track 10   Lifeblood 

Maybe we don’t see eye to eye 

But I sure don’t plan to give up 

Even if we’re at different heights 

Eventually the road won’t be this rough 

And if we can both hold on this long 

Then what’s another few years 

I guess I’ll admit when I’m wrong 

If you let go of your fears 

Swirling around with our fist in the air 

Hopefully something connects 

It isn’t ideal but rather conceal 

What the other expects 

So turn it around 

Put your face to the crowd 

Stop living your life in doubt 

Your voice can be heard without speaking a word 

This lifeblood you can’t live without 

Swirling around with our fist in the air 

Hopefully something connects 

It isn’t ideal but rather conceal 

What the other expects 

Yea, this lifeblood you can’t live without 

Maybe we don’t see eye to eye 

But I sure don’t plan to give up 

Even if we’re at different heights 

Eventually the road won’t be this rough 

Swirling around with our fist in the air 

Hopefully something connects 

It isn’t ideal but rather conceal 

What the other expects 

Yea, this lifeblood you can’t live without 

Oh, oh this lifeblood you can’t live without.
