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.
