If you need me
Well, you know right where to find me
If you need me
Where would you go oh, where you go oh yeah
When will you just take what you can get
You know it’ll never amount to what you spent
And you’re never gonna be what you wanna be
If you never take a chance, no you’ll never do the dance oh
If you’re waiting for the day it's never gonna come
It’s never gonna come
No, you’ll never take the stage
No, you’ll never you’ll never turn the page
No, you’ll never be no no no no
If you need me
Well, you know right where to find me
If you need me
Where would you go oh, where would you go, oh
Oh and some days
I wake up feeling directionless and small
And sometimes I feel like I can’t move at all
Is it a serpent or a saint or just a rule of thumb?
It’s never gonna come
And why go if you're not slowing down?
Why go? So you keep hanging ‘round
But times change you’re living in the strangest
Dream you’ve ever had
I know you wanna take what you can, while you got it
While you got it, while you can
While you can, While you can
If you need me
Well, you know right where to find me
If you need me
Where would you go
If you’re waiting for the day
You will never turn the page
You never see the stage
You will never live a day
Screaming oooooohhhh

Skipping Stones

Ripples always reappear
The signals lost in the air
And though you may have passed the test
Would you really say you’ve tried your best
A step back is a step forgotten
I’m not asking you to wait
I know you just can’t leave things to fate
You’re out there making waves
But I’m still here skipping stones
Happy to see you doing well
The winds caught fast in your sail
But a stones throw just won’t make the mark
Can’t lay low and feed the spark
When waters calm its discontented
I’m not asking you to wait
I know you just can’t leave things to fate
You’re out there making waves
But I’m still here skipping stones
Things set in motion cannot be stopped
You know I can’t just stop and take it away
A fire stoked met with raindrops
I just want to make my way to the top
I’m not asking you to wait
I know you just can’t leave things to fate
You’re out there making waves
But I’m still here skipping stones
Yeah, I'm skipping stones
Yeah, I'm skipping stones
I'm skipping stones and nothing's changing
I'm skipping stones

Wasted Days

I’ve got this dream where I can’t find the right side of the street
Oncoming traffic, oncoming traffic, high beams
Words are all screwed up, signs just come and go
Oncoming traffic, weave in and out of orange cones
As the headlights burn away
Oh, could you ever turn your back?
You’d never close your eyes
You’d never take a chance
The morning bird’s song, outshines my best each week
As tired as the opening, a beautiful, bright sunny streak
So I wasted the day again, I wasted it all away
There is so little left to do and I just don’t know what
To say
Oh could you ever turn your back
You’d never close your eyes
You’d never take a chance
Could you ever take a chance
With nothing to say
Why wouldn't you stay?
With nothing to say
Why wouldn't you stay?
With nothing to
Say

Wait, it can't be that time yet
The sun is coming up
The morning's almost spent
I need time to myself to reflect
A cloud is never wrong
And the moon never worries, I suspect
I know I keep on closing off inside
But it's already changing
It's already dawn
Well, you don't have to know the way
There's oh so many words
Can you find the ones to say?
You'll know you never had it
At first chance it runs away
Though you may want it so bad
All things must go their own way
Wait, it can't be that time yet
The suns already down
Guess tomorrow will have to pay its debts
