Are We There Yet?

 

Take these photographs 
Put them in your past
Well, I’ll be all be alright
It’s been a hell of a night

You can take it logically 
It’s never what it seems
Oh, how we hold tight
Time to turn off the light

I know I’ve been patient lately waiting by the phone
But from where I stand, I’m thinking I’d be better off alone

We scream like hell at the top of our lungs
With a million hearts couldn’t bleed this love
Been saying all of the way

Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

One by one screaming, “God speed son”

With the scars you show and the hurt you love
So obviously… 
Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

Are we there…

You’re falling in between

The circle and your scheme

I offer you light; you get darker at night
Why can’t you believe?

Oh, why can’t I concede?

Oh, we’ll never get it right; I see the ending in sight

I’m a little hazy, maybe tell me why I’m left alone 
To remind me lately this is all we’ve really ever known

We scream like hell at the top of our lungs
With a million hearts couldn’t bleed this love
Been saying all of the way

Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

One by one screaming, “God speed son”

With the scars you show and the hurt you love
So obviously… 
Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

Are we there…

I guess that some things never change

I guess it’s not for me to say
Maybe we could be starlit heroes 
Maybe we just need a start from zero
Sunlight seems further than the ray
Some hearts just think they’ll never break
You’re not fading; I’m still breaking

 

We scream like hell at the top of our lungs
And a million hearts couldn’t bleed this love
Been saying all of the way

Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

One by one screaming, “God speed son”

With the scars you show and the hurt you love
So obviously… 
Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

Are we there…

For Never and Ever

 

I don’t want for you to come back, baby
I don’t for you to even try
You know I never meant to hurt you, maybe
This was meant for you to save your life
So just go, go, go!
I won’t beg you to stay, stay, stay!
Think you better leave, leave, leave!
To find out anyway-a-a!

I just want a little bit more of you, baby...

You never meant for me to run away tonight 
Take me or leave me 
I’ve got a little more to say, than I thought I might
I’m breaking, I’m breaking 
Go on and end this now
Split down the middle
It breaks my heart and kills me just a little
But I’m more than down, if you need a lover tonight
But for never and ever seems right

 

(whoa-oh-oh…)

Hey! Hey!

(whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh….)

I never meant to ever rush you, baby
I don’t ever wanna waste your time
We’re in the middle of a hell storm lately
Seems a perfect time to say goodbye
So just go, go, go!
I won’t beg you to stay, stay, stay!
Think you better leave, leave, leave!
To find out anyway-a-a!

Please, just a little bit more of you, baby...

 

You never meant for me to run away tonight 
Take me or leave me 
I’ve got a little more to say, than I thought I might
I’m breaking, I’m breaking 
Go on and end this now
Split down the middle
It breaks my heart and kills me just a little
But I’m more than down, if you need a lover tonight
But for never and ever seems right

Oh… we could be lovers
We could be so much more than this

(whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh...)
There’s nothing left for us
No, my heart can’t take more of this

 

You never meant for me to run away tonight 
Take me or leave me 
I’ve got a little more to say, than I thought I might
I’m breaking, I’m breaking 
Go on and end this now
Split down the middle
It breaks my heart and kills me just a little
But I’m more than down, if you need a lover tonight
But for never and ever seems right

(whoa-oh-oh…)

For never and ever seems right

Ain’t That Just Beautiful?

 

Hey!

 

I love somebody 
Ain’t that just beautiful?
Don’t let that scare you 
No one believes a single word you say
I like the way you think
Let’s take this all the way
I’m tired of waiting, ‘cuz
This feels like something

Whoa...oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Tell me and I’ll make it 
So…oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ain’t that just beautiful?

Catching every green light home
We could do this all night long 
Give me that, give me that heart if you want it to break
Let me be honest 
I believe you’re a one in a million mistake 
Ain’t that beautiful?

Why don’t you try me?
I’ll throw this all your way
Stones in that water

Don’t look down; it’s further than you think
You’ve got that style and grace
I’m tongue tied and stuttering
Come down; I’m waiting
Let’s run to someday
But….

 

Whoa...oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Without a word somehow you
Know…oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ain’t that just beautiful?

 

Catching every green light home
We could do this all night long 
Give me that, give me that heart if you want it to break
Let me be honest 
I believe you’re a one in a million mistake 
Ain’t that beautiful?
Well, come on believe me 
I can’t stop this feeling 
No need for the world to know

When you get what you need

And somehow you just seem to let go of the weight you hold

(Ain’t that just beautiful?)

 

I said, come on believe me 
I can’t stop this feeling 
No need for the world to know

When you get what you need

And somehow you just seem to let go of the weight you hold

Ain’t that just beautiful?

Catching every green light home
We could do this all night long 
Give me that, give me that heart if you want it to break

I believe you’re a one in a million mistake

Country in the City

 

She packed her suitcase 
To find a new place
Somewhere to start her life

About a year ago 
She found Chicago 
Out on I-65

And out by the neon lights
She missed her box of wine
This place don’t feel like home

And she said…
“Ooo, a country girl don't live like this…"
Guess she's gonna have to make the best of it
All dressed up and feelin’ alright 
Ya, you know, there's a party gonna start tonight
The beers are flowing and she battin’ those eyes
Back at the stares from the suit and ties 
Dancin’ by the stars in the pale moonlight 
Ya, you know, she's bringing country to the city tonight

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

A little country to the city tonight

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

This place don't feel like home
Singing barefoot in blue jeans; while he’s in a three piece 
But she don’t wanna sleep alone

 

And she said…
“Ooo, a country girl don't live like this…"
Guess she's gonna have to make the best of it
All dressed up and feelin’ alright 
Ya, you know, there's a party gonna start tonight
The beers are flowing and she battin’ those eyes
Back at the stares from the suit and ties 
Dancin’ by the stars in the pale moonlight 
Ya, you know, she's bringing country to the city tonight

 

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

A little country to the city tonight

Infinity and a Day

 

It was late last summer when her old man ran away
He had teenage boy and a wife in another state
It’s hard to be loved if your hearts not in it
You seem to think that he’s gonna quit it
But another life or time in another place
I’d say…

Oh, I guess it’s now or never
Nothing really lasts forever 
You and me go over and over until infinity and a day
Oh, well I’ll be down whenever
Know that I just won’t surrender 
You and me go over and over until infinity and a day

September 18, she finally went away
She suddenly had enough of his charm and his southern grace
Maybe you move to where he can’t come get it
And I don’t know if you’d be down with it
But I’d follow you to any world in any place
So I said…

 

Oh, I guess it’s now or never
Nothing really lasts forever 
You and me go over and over until infinity and a day
Oh, well I’ll be down whenever
Know that I just won’t surrender 
You and me go over and over until infinity and a day

Maybe we’ll run 
Maybe we’ll hide
Maybe we’ll go away for the rest of life
Maybe it’s wrong 
Maybe it’s right
Maybe it’s time to say goodbye

 

Oh, I guess it’s now or never
Nothing really lasts forever 
You and me go over and over until infinity and a day
Oh, well I’ll be down whenever
Know that I just won’t surrender 
You and me go over and over until infinity and a day

Get Back Up Again

 

Well I never never ever never ever felt much better,

just how I’m feeling when we’re spending time together.

Our time is fine time ever time fave time,

play time is game time, our time is prime time.

 

My name is Mark, I spell it with a K.

The K stands for killing when it comes to my game.

I’m not John Mclaine

and that’s ok still live a pretty tight life so I can’t complain.

So stand back cause I’m hot coming in,

a reggae muffin teddy stuffing style I spin, s

mooth as Mr clean coming fresh  out the shower,

straight out the burbs going to make u holler

 

Holler high, high up to the sky,

with a bee-gees vibe that keeps u staying alive.

Going to rise to the top cause I know I will ,

coming from the bottom it’s quite the thrill…

 

Heart beat as one, rise to the sun, fun’s just begun c’mon.

 

I get down just to get back up again,

A fresh start, back in the race again.

I jump out to jump back in again,

watch out look at this hole I’m in.

 

ROUND2 this is how we going to do….

after show safety meeting with the crew..

we roll up the good times,

everytime fire time,

bake time is our time turns into high tide!!

So fun those were those days

navigating through a purple haze,

when we get to the top to the top of the hill,

just close our eyes lay back let’s chill.

 

Heart beat as one, rise to the sun, fun’s just begun c’mon.

 

I get down just to get back up again,

A fresh start, back in the race again.

I jump out to jump back in again,

watch out look at this hole I’m in.

 

 

 

ROUND 3 this it’s how it’s going to be,

back to the future take a ride with me.

Let’s fly to the right to the left through time back to home base we’ll slide!

Slide right in, with a guaranteed grin,

just waiting for our fairytale adventure to begin,

and when we get to the end to the end of the ride,

we’ll just open up our wings and fly.

 

 

Heart beat as one, rise to the sun, fun’s just begun c’mon.

 

I get down just to get back up again,

A fresh start, back in the race again.

I jump out to jump back in again,

my life this is who I am.

Saturday Night

Every day of the week, you got me counting down
I’m on the edge of my seat, until you come around
Well, we all need that something 
God I know, that we do
Well a whole lot of nothin’ with you
Oh, you know, I’m gonna need it

Waited all week like the rest of my life
For just one day to try to make it all right
Give me something good, now you’re a hell of a sight
Now whoa-oh-oh, thank God for Saturday night

Whoa-whoa-whoa, alright!

Thank God for Saturday

I played the prince; I played the fool; I played this far beyond 
Same time of day; won’t go away; too many false alarms

Ooohh

Well, we all need that something

God, I know that we do

Well, a whole lot of nothin’, with you
Oh, ya, you best believe it!

 

Waited all week like the rest of my life
For just one day to try to make it all right
Give me something good, now you’re a hell of a sight
Now whoa-oh-oh, thank God for Saturday night

Whoa-whoa-whoa, alright

Thank God for Saturday!

Never really wanted something more
I don’t really know what we’re waiting for
Maybe it’s wrong to feel something right 
And live like it’s the last day of my life
So raise a glass up high to a Saturday night

Waited all week like the rest of my life
For just one day to try to make it all right
Give me something good, now you’re a hell of a sight
Now whoa-oh-oh, thank God for Saturday night

Whoa-whoa-whoa, alright!

Thank God for Saturday night

Whoa-whoa-whoa, alright

Thank God for Saturday!

 

Come What May

 

Well, young hearts break in last night’s dress
She’s got a pink bow avenue style
This could be a one-night stand

Or your last known 17 addresses in Arlington Heights

Oh, wait a minute, baby!

Not like I know you or the boy that were hangin’ due South 
She said, “Now listen here, honey!
We’re losing track of time

February, March, and April’s gone”

 

But come what may
(oh ya)

I’ll be waiting, and you know I’m talking ‘bout you
(‘bout you) 
I guess some day 
(oh well)
I’ll be watching the parade of your latest mistakes 
Just call my name

Come what may

You pay with those lips 
Your tourniquet hips
You pacify all these childlike tricks
I prayed for this love 
God knows that it was
A test of will until you spilled every cliché, ya…

Tell me something, baby!
Did you think I was invincible?
Did you think I wouldn’t notice or let you live that way? 
Now, here we are, honey!
You got your things, and not that ring 
After marching in April, we can say...

 

Come what may
(oh ya)

I’ll be waiting, and you know I’m talking ‘bout you
(‘bout you) 
I guess some day 
(oh well)
I’ll be watching the parade of your latest mistakes 
Just call my name

Come what may

You take on this position

Call this a conditional take, but what did you say

To offer a solution?

Call this a conclusion, but what does that say about me?

 

Come what may
(oh ya)

I’ll be waiting, and you know I’m talking ‘bout you
(‘bout you) 
I guess some day 
(oh well)
I’ll be watching the parade of your latest mistakes 
Now call my name

Come what may

Sundresses

 

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh

 

So, I found myself in this bar showin’ scars, talkin’ cars
And I saw this girl with a hella good wink

She had this one little piece of cloth, showing off the weight she lost, and everything but the kitchen sink
She had these hazel eyes, and I believed every lie ‘cuz man, how I wanted them to be true
So I thought, What the hell? It’s not like she knows me so well
So I walked up, fist bumped, then said...

Girl, give me your number 
I’ll let you meet my mother
Maybe even buy you a ring 
Ya, everything you’re wearin’
Girl, ya got me staring 
Make it harder than it should be

Don’t wait for the summer next time
‘Cuz all these little sundresses, they always seem to get me like…

 

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh

Little sundresses

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh

Think it was freshman year in front of all my friends and all my peers and right before the summer began
See I saw her in a parking lot 
She was swerving right behind the cops
Man that car must have been hard to steer
Ya, she jumped out of the driver’s seat, sandals underneath her feet, and a smile that was brighter than the sun
She had one little piece of clothing, took away my fear and loathing, and I thought, Good lord! Man, I’m done!

Girl, give me your number 
I’ll let you meet my mother
Maybe even buy you a ring 
Ya, everything you’re wearin’
Girl, ya got me staring 
Make it harder than it should be

Don’t wait for the summer next time
‘Cuz all these little sundresses, they always seem to get me like…

 

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh

She’s a sweetheart of summer
I’m gonna tell her I love her
No, I don’t think it’s a secret
Ya, everybody should hear it

 

She’s a sweetheart of summer
I’m gonna tell her I love her

Monster

 

She was born a novelty; a sentimental tragedy
(am I anything you want me to be?)
Her lips were just like kerosene that lit that fire inside of me
(am I anything you want me to be?)

Shame me…

Blame me…

Take control.

In the middle of this hell, you let me go?
One step into the light and finally blind me
Go on believe the only devil that you know
So don’t pray for me, wait for me

Only heaven help me.

While I was learning how to live again
You were waiting for the world to end
God, save the monster you made
I was just another casualty 
To your broken-hearted cavalry 
God, save the monster you made me

You only want what’s the best for me; you play that victim perfectly

(am I anything you want me to be?)
You’ve taken shelter in your aim; it seems like he’s a better me

(am I anything you want me to be?)

So, leave me and watch me

Break alone.

 

In the middle of this hell, you let me go?
One step into the light and finally blind me
Go on believe the only devil that you know
So don’t pray for me, wait for me

Tell me, “Heaven help me.”

I was learning how to live again
You were waiting for the world to end
God, save the monster you made
I was just another casualty 
To your broken-hearted cavalry 
God, save the monster you made me

I tried my best to stop from bleeding out
I hope that he can make you happy now

 

I was learning how to live again
You were waiting for the world to end
God, save the monster you made

I was just another casualty 
To your broken-hearted cavalry

God, save the monster you made me

I Love These Days

I had my heart broken
Lost some love along the way

But in the darkest of times
You can see the light of day

Please don’t give up tonight
Don’t walk away

Got a million good reasons
I wanna hear you say

(whoa-oh-oh)
Send a smile; change your fate

(whoa-oh-oh)
There’s no time to delay

(whoa-oh-oh)
Stand up and say,

“I love these days.”

(whoa-oh-oh)
Times like these be the change

(whoa-oh-oh)
Send your love across the way

(whoa-oh-oh)
Let me hear you say,

“I love these days.”

Sometimes the stars in the sky need the moon to show its grace
Sometimes the air that we breathe can leave a bitter taste
I’d rather laugh than cry, if that’s what it takes
If you believe me, then I want to hear you say

(whoa-oh-oh)
Send a smile; change your fate

(whoa-oh-oh)
There’s no time to delay

(whoa-oh-oh)
I wanna hear you say,

“I love these days.”

(whoa-oh-oh)
Times like these be the change

(whoa-oh-oh)
Send your love across the way

(whoa-oh-oh)
I wanna hear you say,

“I love these days.”

We are stronger 
Stand together 
We can love these days

We are stronger 
Stand together 
We can love these days

We are stronger 
Stand together 
We can love these days

Legends

 

Ya…Uh…Here we go…

 

I remember back when I was young and clever and no one knew my name
But nowadays we only talk about the weather and nothing seems to change

Legends
We were all born to be legends
Just a matter of your dreams
Legends
We were all born to be legendary 

I got a feeling that there’s something that I’m needing
I got a target in my aim
I can take it
Yes, I’m never gonna leave it ‘cuz I’m harder than the game

 

Legends
We were all born to be legends
Just a matter of your dreams
Legends
We were all born to be legendary 

I got my hands up
And believe it when I say I’m not a king or a queen but I rule the game I play
We come hard and loud and our feet are on the ground 
I’m like a train bound ferrocarril to the town
I’ve got to grind to shine because I could be a hero
And I’m colorblind because that’s the way I see you
And I need that
I feel that
If we say it loud they’ll hear that
To all my LGBTQ you know that we are all…

 

Legends
We were all born to be legends
Just a matter of your dreams

We were all born to be legendary

I Wanna See You Shine

 

I was out all night and just my luck

This little dime walked in with a high-heeled strut 
She had an RBF, but man the rest was fine
She had champagne smile and bloodshot eyes
She couldn’t walk in heels but just my type
She had her mind made up and left her friends behind

So tell me once again, my love
What is it that you want from us
Do you think maybe you could read the signs?

I wanna see you shine
See you step into the light
Show me every color that you try your best to hide
How do I make you mine
When you don’t even know your side?
Oh, you’re brighter than the stars up in the sky
I wanna see you shine

She wore me out with all this talk
About who she was and what she lost
She couldn’t stop herself from crossing every line
Oooh, but there was nothing left to do but smile
I swear I lost my breath at every mile
We were almost there, but she found a way to sigh

Oh, tell me that we’ll make this right
The stars are out; the moon is high
And we’ll both be here for just a little while

I wanna see you shine
See you step into the light
Show me every color that you try your best to hide
How do I make you mine
When you don’t even know your side?
Oh, you’re brighter than the stars up in the sky
I wanna see you shine

Wait! There’s something you need to know 
Hey! From some other time ago
I! See that you need it though
We could be forever, if you try
There’s no good reason that you’re not
Just let it go…ooohh…

Ya, I wanna see you shine

 

I wanna see you shine
See you step into the light
Show me every color that you try your best to hide
How do I make you mine
When you don’t even know your side?
Oh, you’re brighter than the stars up in the sky

I wanna see you shine

 

I wanna see you shine

 

I wanna see you shine
