Who Are You? 01:11
Who are you? What you gonna do? Who Are You? Do you wanna ask me too? Who are you? (I do)
2.
Remember when we were young, how you asked everyone to marry you? All of those songs we sung, changin all the words, you used to make the heroine die. . . why? Remember when we were right? God throws darts at stars in the night. I had a kite. You had a trampoline and a bmx bike (you didn't even like) I don't wanna say it's breakin my heart, but I don't know where to start Old friends are fallin apart in time. Write your name over mine, cover them both in wine. I miss the straight, straight lines. The old times. Remember when we got caught? Dirty hands and make-believe jobs we never got. Gimme-All-Your-Money bank robbers and cowboy-cops. Make-believe props. Remember when we held hands? Red Rover and marching band. You had a tan. Stayin outside that longs gonna make you a man. . .never goin back, never goin back again. I don't wanna say it's breakin my heart, but I don't know where to start Old friends are fallin apart in time. Write your name over mine, cover them both in wine. I miss the straight, straight lines. The old times. Remember when we were young?

Morning Sun 03:21
You're living the life of a stranger. Follow him into the ground. The difference between daggers and anchors, a matter of whats been held down. You've got a face they hold onto, you've got a place in their town But you never seem to afford to turn an offer down. Keep your head to the MORNING SUN When you're facing the morning sun Keep your head to the morning sun You'll be facing the mourning some You're leaving the likes of the stranger, Loving the lean of the road Riding on years of hard living turns your hair to gold But you will never grow old, no you will never grow old So you'd better not let go, you'd better not let go You better not let go Keep your head to the morning sun When you're facing the mourning some Keep your head to the morning sun You'll be facing the morning sun

Drive 04:07
You've had a hard time livin with a hard heart You hardly feel a thing and you don't know where to start cause I done you wrong, I done you wrong I done you wrong but it wont change a thing cause it wont be long, long, long, long til you can make it sing It wont go away, its comin after you all day, you're surrounded When you look at me that way, I don't have a thing to say, but I just found it. . . Drive c'mon c'mon and drive c'mon c'mon and drive Maybe its bad luck leavin well-enough alone When you leave everything it's so hard to go home It wont go away its comin after you all day, you're surrounded When you look at me that way, I don't have a thing to say, but I just found it. I cant walk away Drive c'mon c'mon and drive c'mon c'mon and drive Just sail away, sail away, sail away

Caroline 03:31
Hey girl, what an awesome sight You lie on your back in the club last night Slinky thing, you move left and right I bet anything you were left alright. Caroline's feelin feline Arch in your back draws a rhythm line. In your mind we're a chorus line "Will you be mine? Will you be mine? Will you be mine? Will you be mine?" "Will you be mine? Will you be mine? Will you be mine? Will you be mine?" "Will you be mine? Will you be mine? Will you be mine? Will you be mine?" Oooh, you move so slow. Gotta take control. Who's gonna love you back with a heart that black? A heart that black. . . . Caroline
7.
Hey, Hey I found a way through your stare. No one will know, don't you wanna go there? Take the dare. Take the dare. close your eyes close your eyes You'll find me on the other side
