    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 lives 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 lives 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 lives 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 (It's the Story of My Life) 

    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 
    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 some 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 eye 

    I’ll be right by your side 

    Written in the stars, it’s said and done 

    You are my only one 

    (Yeah I said) I am I am the man I am the only one

    (Yes you are, yes you) 

    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 it's seen a lot of love and seen a lot of tears 

    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 with my heart like this

    Why you wanna mess

    (I don't wanna play these games anymore)

    I said 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) 

    I said 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, oh this lifeblood you can’t live without.
