Hold Me Up

Laughing

Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
All because of you
All because of you

I didn't mean to wear this disguise
But I can't stand the look in my eyes
Oh, I didn't mean to lie
I was doing what I thought was right
Come on, walk right down the line
You'll be walking to the end of time because

Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
All because of you
All because of you

Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
Oh, I feel like laughing
All because of you
All because of you

Just the Way You Are

How could you believe in someone sorry sad like me?
I know the deal and I thank you anyway
And if you leave you know I'm crawlin' at your feet
You never get weak when I'm leanin' hard on you

And I guess it's just the way you are
I guess it's just the way you are
I guess it's just the way you are
And I guess it's just the way you are

All the things that you don't show me
Like when you pretend that you don't know me
I waste a dime and I can't call you
I'll spend a lifetime if I fall for you

How could you believe in someone sorry sad like me? I know the deal and I thank you anyway
And if you leave you know I'm crawlin' at your feet
You never get weak when I'm leanin' hard on you

And I guess it's just the way you are
I guess it's just the way you are
I guess it's just the way you are
And I guess it's just the way you are

Hold me up
Hold me up
Hold me up
Hold me up

So Outta Line

One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow
Been snow so long you know
Just feel like letting go

So outta line

You've worked so hard for everything you've got
Ten minutes later you're a loser
Count your blessings and the ones you love
At this point, we beggars can't be choosers

One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow
Been snow so long you know
Just feel like letting go

So outta line

One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow
Been snow so long you know
Just feel like letting go

So outta line

One day ain't forever
One day ain't forever

There You Are

And I self destruct
I close my eyes and then

There you are
There you are
You are
There you are

Yeah you can run out west
Forget you know my name
You say you got your shit together, but you ain't got no faith

Method in madness now
There's madness in my soul
I'd run from the darkness now
I've got no place to go

And I self destruct
I close my eyes and then

There you are
There you are
You are
There you are

There you are
There you are
You are
There you are

There you are
There you are

You Know What I Mean

But since then I've been back down to the edge
I can't believe the things you never said
I can't explain the words I never found
My whole world should come crashing down

But you can't sell me out with everything you think about

I think back now I draw a blank
There ain't no need to dig the past
I don't wanna live my life in a day
I ain't got no need for this plastic cage

'Cause you don't think about anything I think about

You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean

Now you know for sure you're alive, because you
You watched her leave before your eyes
Now I'm afraid to say your name, but
I ain't afraid to share this blame

But you can't sell me out with everything you think about

You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean

It's been a long, dark, lonely hall
Between the cracks I can read the scrawl
Find a place that feels like home, you know
Get some clue to where I'm goin', you know but

But you don't think about anything I think about

You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean

You know what I mean, no no
You know what I mean, no
You know what I mean, no no
You know what I mean

Out of the Red

Heavy metal thrash band it's all a bunch of shit
People tryin' to name me while I'm tryin' to do my bit
I ain't got the patience or the time to waste
Call me a rock star you can spit in my face
Gonna take a horse to drag me outta my bed

I'd rather hang with drunks than hang out with myself
The booze is over there take a glass off the shelf
If you ain't had enough by tomorrow at noon
We're gonna place a call to Boneyard Crew
Went to sleep at home and woke up in a shed

Never Take the Place of Your Man

It was only last June when her old man ran away
She couldn't stop cryin' she knew he was going to stay
10:35 on a lonely Friday night
She was standin' by the fire oo she was lookin' alright

I asked if she wanted to dance and she said
All she wanted was a good man who wanted to know if I thought I was qualified

I said 'Baby, don't waste your time
'I know what's on your mind
'I may be qualified for a one-night stand
But I could never take the place of your man'

It hurt me so bad when I saw here with tears in her eyes
She was all I'd ever wanted and now she wanted to die
He left her with a baby and another one on the way
She couldn't stop cryin' she knew he was gonna stay

She asked if we couldn't be friends and I said,
"Oh, honey baby that's OK you know and I know know know
you wouldn't be satisfied"

I said 'Baby, don't waste your time
'I know what's on your mind
'I may be qualified for a one-night stand
But I could never take the place of your man'

I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man

I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man

Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Never take the place of your man
(Sha la la la)
That's all I need girl
(Sha la la la)
It's a one night one night one night stand
(Sha la la la)
I don't wanna be another stage in your life
(Sha la la la)
Oh girl if you need a friend I'm there by your side
(Sha la la la)
(Sha la la la)

Hey

Where are you
And what's on your mind
Where are you
Am I wasting my time
Where are you
And what's on your mind
I just wanna know if I'm wasting my time

I snuck out of work to see your smile
I'll hold it hostage for a little while
I wrote a letter thought I'd let you know
I'm right behind you any time you go

Where are you
And what's on your mind
Where are you
Am I wasting my time
Where are you
And what's on your mind
I just wanna know if I'm wasting my time

My mind got busy 'bout 3 A.M. or so
Crawled in your room through the back window
Hope when you woke up you wouldn't get too mad
I hope I never wake up your old man

Where are you
And what's on your mind
Where are you
Am I wasting my time
Where are you
And what's on your mind
I just wanna know if I'm wasting my time

On Your Side

We don't see eye to eye
On your side
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
On your side
I'm on your side

5 a.m. I shut my eyes then my worries tranquilized
Don't think the morning comes too soon
If I don't see the morning, that's OK they're pretty borin'
See you tomorrow afternoon
Oh no

We don't see eye to eye
On your side
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
On your side
I'm on your side
We don't see eye to eye
On your side
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
On your side
I'm on your side
You're living in a trailer friends all think that you're a failure
But are you thinkin' for yourself
You read the Sunday paper
Wife's pissed off cuz you ain't laid her
Rolling pennies for your wealth
Me too

We don't see eye to eye
On your side
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
On your side
I'm on your side

We don't see eye to eye
On your side
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
On your side
I'm on your side

We don't see eye to eye
On your side
I'm on your side
With a smile and a sigh
On your side
I'm on your side

Know My Name

Don't pretend like you know my name
'Cause I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
'Cause I ain't never seen you before

You got me laughing
Laughing all about myself
I had a drink last Friday
Heard the news from someone else

Don't pretend like you know my name
'Cause I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
'Cause I ain't never seen you before

You got me running
Running far from myself
You got me coming
Coming home to someone else

Don't pretend like you know my name
'Cause I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
'Cause I ain't never seen you before

I tried to find the truth from everyone that I could find

Don't pretend like you know my name
Cause I ain't never seen you before
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cause I ain't never seen you before

Don't pretend like you know my name
Cause I ain't never seen you c'mon
Don't pretend like you know my name
Cause I ain't never seen you before

Million Miles Away

I stared drifting to a different place
I realized I was falling off the face of the world
And there is nothing that will bring you back today

'Cause you're a million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing that will bring us back today
Today...oh, no

I took a ride I went downtown
The streets were empty there was no one around
I went to places we used to go
Seen all the faces we used to know

I'm at the wrong end of the looking glass
I try to hold on to the hands of the past and you
And there's nothing that can bring you back

'Cause you're a million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing that can bring you back today
Today...oh on

'Cause you're a million miles away
A million miles away
You're just a million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing that can bring you back today
Today
Hey
Hey...oh, no

Two Days In February

You say you got no faith in things that you can't see
Well I'm sorry I ain't there with you but you ain't here with me
And I'm down in all my fears and I ain't cryin' no more tears over you

Cause everything's wrong
Well it's all right
Everything's wrong
Well it's all right

You said this is crazy you're a half a world away
Well I'm sittin' here thinkin' but I didn't know what to say
So I said something I can't touch I always want way too much anyway

Cause everything's wrong
Well it's alright
Everything's wrong
Well it's alright

I hung your picture on the wall and that's all it is
I break my fingers to make a call and that's all it is
I know you're living way out west
Don't get me wrong I'm not impressed with you
No more
