Ready Set Go

Anyplace will raise you,
twirl you, praise you, sure they'll
show you that you're worth their time,
but only California warns you
everything could pass you by.
Anywhere the wind blows, You'll go.
Sinfully shy folk love it here and god knows why.
If you missed your window, (there's) still hope
waiting on the sunnyside.
Just because you're so ready set go,
Doesn't mean you'll get the world to turn slow,
Doesn't mean you can escape the same old
(You'd be the first one anyway).
I don't mean to contradict what you know
But should you never entertain the same hope
You're still gonna have to pay what you owe (to me)
If you were to wake up, face down, made up,
mid town, never made it home last night,
Only California'd scorn Ya,
You'll be sure to keep in mind...
Just because you're so ready set go,
Doesn't mean you'll get the world to turn slow,
Doesn't mean you can escape the same old
(You'd be the first one anyway).
I don't mean to contradict what you know
But should you never entertain the same hope
You're still gonna have to pay what you owe (to me)
You come so far
Just to bury your head in the sand.
Still you are, but a fragment of what she demands.

One Thing

If we could pick our lives
We'd never roll the dice
And never know what we've been living without.
There's something in your eyes
Just feels like paradise
We been low, but now we're coming around.
For the rest of the night
Watch as storms pass through,
Have our faith renewed each time.
Cuz We did one thing right.
We all set out to find
A better lot in life
Straight ahead until we're lost in the clouds.
I had you on my mind,
But only just realized
That this is it, you keep my feet on the ground.
For the rest of our lives
Watch as storms pass through
Have our faith renewed each time.
Cuz We did one thing right.
Finally
An ever glowing light I see
There's nothing I won't try to be
Just a little bit closer
To where my luck found you.
For the rest of our lives
Watch as storms pass through
Have our faith renewed each time.
For the best & the climb
I'll be there for you with this
better self you help me find.
You're my piece of mind.
Given doors to choose
Should we win or lose,
it will remind that
We did one thing right

Lonely Minute
03:35

If I put my whole heart in it.
I need to be sure.
And when the road is finished
If I'm back at your door.
It's been a lonely minute
But I'm ready for more.
I may be worn and winded
But you know that I'm yours.
Here comes the dawn
Yea, the worst is over
My hearts made up
And I was swayed by your song.
Was I all wrong?
Are you just another cold shoulder?
And all because
You thought I'd drag you along
If I put my whole heart...
I know it hurts.
When you're the only one certain
And waiting for an astro-drifter like me.
How the tables turn
Cuz now I'm here on your planet with trust to earn
And wondering where you might be?
When
I put my whole heart in it.
I need to be sure.
And now the road is finished
I'm back at your door.
It's been a lonely minute
But I'm ready for more.
I may be worn and winded
But you know that I'm yours.
If You know that I'm yours
And i know that you're mine
Then we can endure
Just a little time.
My whole hearts in it
the road is finished.
