Why We Run

When you look into my eyes
Can you count the miles
If you could see what I have seen
You think you’d stick around
I know you’ve survived
Your tribulations and your trials
I’ll let you make your case
But there are some things we can’t erase
No need to lie
If we’ve both committed the crime
How is it possible to feel innocent and guilty at the same time
You think what you have might be enough
But it slips away and we keep slipping up
It’s why we run
Just trying to find our place
Why We run
To save your heart and save our face
It’s all about the chase
Sure you’re right
We just get used to the lying
How many times have I tricked myself into thinkin
that we're doin' we’re fine
How long will you keep telling yourself you’ve got a spotless mind
We keep playing them as they lay
And when we don’t we just count the days
It’s why we run
Just trying to find our place
Why We run
To save your heart and save our face
The only thing worse than starting over
Is sticking around when it all ends
Well, you'd think I'd know by now
how it’ll turn out again
with love at our feet and trouble in our hands
It’s why we run
Just trying to find our place
Why We run
To save your heart and save our face
It’s why we run
Just trying to find our place
Why We run
To save your heart and save our face
The only thing worse than starting over
Is sticking around when it all ends

So Wrong
04:54

We’ve been walking down this crazy road
sometimes fast sometimes slow
Different strides to a finish line that isn’t there
We made mistakes and made up our minds
We went our ways and lost touch in time
And remained was killed with wine we didn’t care
But you’re not supposed to cover all your tracks
Cause if you get lost you can’t find your way back
And I was so wrong it was right there in front of me all along
I was so wrong I did everything to keep it moving on
Because it doesn’t end when someone calls your bluff
Sometimes your best is just not good enough
Why does giving in feel just like giving up
Damn, you can’t predict how much love is enough
Years fade out like a lullaby
They slip behind like a dog that’s blind
All your senses on overdrive just stay on track
There are many things I won’t forget
Some folks I miss and some I regret
Reminders that it ain’t over yet if I keep trying
The things you lose when you pretend
You never get back when it all ends
And I was so wrong it was right there in front of me all along
I was so wrong I did everything to keep it moving on
Because it doesn’t end when someone calls your bluff
Sometimes your best is just not good enough
Why does giving in feel just like giving up
Damn, you can’t predict how much love is enough

The Only Way

The only way to get over is through
There ain’t no golden ticket it’s just me and you
Ain’t no shortcuts to salvation
No express line to the truth
The only way to get over is through
The only way out is through
Leave your baggage behind there’s only room for two
There ain’t no just in case or maybes
Weather permitting is no excuse
The only way out is through
If we’re in this together
You can’t push and I can’t pull
And we can’t hide
everything is in plain view
If this is supposed to be forever
Then there’s no better time
To light it all up
Watch it burn right through
Then we can start anew
The only way in is through
There’s only one way to rock, who knew?
So put your hand in mine
and I’ll put my trust in you
The only way in is through
It’s what we have to do
The best for me and you

Tiburon

Estoy cansao - de to la gente - que viene por mi casa
Y lo que le dan la gana lo hacen sin pensar
esta falta de respeto - alguien me lo paga
Y cuando vengo a cobrar se todo se van a cagar
las veces que me han parado de cometer este asalto
Mis amigos y mi familia no quieren verme mal
No entienden que los animales de verdad son ustedes
Se pasan robando todo sin conciencia de los demás
a mi me llaman el tiburón (ahi viene el tiburón)
y Tengo hambre soy comelon (Ahi viene el tiburón)
Te jodiste la hora llego (Ahi viene el tiburón)
Pide disculpas a mi y a dios (Que no te coma Tiburon)
En esta bolita el mundo todos tienen un pedazo
Pero tu te aprovechas de lo que no les quedan na
aprenderán de una vez lo que es pura venganza
Porque la carne de un codicioso siempre hay que echarles un poquito e sal
Abran paso aquí va el tiburón (ahi viene el tiburón)
Y tu carne y hueso sin corazón (ahi viene el tiburón)
Porque tuviste que ser ladron (ahi viene el tiburón)
Te hace falta salsa y mucho sazón (Que no te coma Tiburon)
Yo no quiero lio yo no quiero drama
Pero sigues metiéndote en lo mío
Que tu crees que va pasar
a mi me llaman el tiburón (ahi viene el tiburón)
y Tengo hambre soy comelon (Ahi viene el tiburón)
Te jodiste la hora llego (Ahi viene el tiburón)
Pide disculpas a mi y a dios (Que no te coma Tiburon)
Yo no quiero lio yo no quiero drama
Pero sigues metiéndote en lo mío
Que tu crees que va pasar
a mi me llaman el tiburón (ahi viene el tiburón)
y Tengo hambre soy comelon (Ahi viene el tiburón)
Te jodiste la hora llego (Ahi viene el tiburón)
Pide disculpas a mi y a dios (Que no te coma Tiburon)
Abran paso aquí va el tiburón (ahi viene el tiburón)
Y tu carne y hueso sin corazón (ahi viene el tiburón)
Porque tuviste que ser ladron (ahi viene el tiburón)
Te hace falta salsa y mucho sazón (Que no te coma Tiburon)

Better Now

After a year of being locked inside I think I’ve gone insane
I may have lost my brain - I can’t find my way - every day
It’s hard to understand what’s going on - there’s just too much noise
I think I lost my voice because I have nothing left to say anyway
I’m all out of hope and my faith has been bleeding
It’s all in my hands to try and make it better now, better now
It doesn’t make it right if just believe it,
Gotta be willing to fight and make it better now
See your face up on the screen but I can’t see your eyes
Just a temporary disguise of despair and debris
I look again trying to make sense that’s when I realize
I know the lie that is the truth - my own reflection staring back at me
I’m all out of hope and my faith has been bleeding
It’s all in my hands to try and make it better now, better now
It doesn’t make it right if just believe it,
Gotta be willing to fight and make it better now
Well I’ve been laying low for too long - I’m going out and far away
Gonna find my way - far away I’m gonna find my way - far away
I’m all out of hope and my faith has been bleeding
It’s all in my hands to try and make it better now, better now
It doesn’t make it right if just believe it,
Gotta be willing to fight and make it better now
I know that my heart is still deep inside me
Will you reach out and help me make it better now, better now
Better now

The Extra

I packed all my bags and I buried my gun
My time is over here and that’s clear
to all of you present today
If I still had a say I’d find a way to re-write my fate
Didn’t have to stay on but did I need to die
In that cruel and unusual way
Sometimes you’re the hero
Sometimes you’re the bad guy who steals the show
Sometimes you’re a fool without much at stake
Who gets killed before the break
Time is real funny when you only get a season a year
Where is it running to and why is it running away from me
I once had a family but now they’re just friends
Soon they’ll stop calling me at all
Sometimes you’re the hero
Sometimes you’re the bad guy who steals the show
Sometimes you’re a fool without much at stake
Who gets killed before the break
It ain’t about all the lines you got
It’s not where your name is when the credits roll
Did you leave it all on the lot
Did you let them peek inside your soul
I’m afraid I don’t know
There’s no sunset for me to walk off into
The night and the city will do just fine
If it seems familiar it’s where it all began
As an extra who tried to take it all and had to give back
Sometimes you’re the hero
Sometimes you’re the bad guy who steals the show
Sometimes you’re a fool without much at stake
Who gets killed before the break
