Benjamin 04:21
It won't be time for talking until I say when And with a little dose of philosophy, I'm sure I could draw you in again Oh, Benjamin And it won't be time for laughing until I say when And with a little joke and some marbles I'm sure I could make you roll again Oh, Benjamin Why am I always walking to your place in the rain When I thought that I said I would never do this again Maybe it's my heart that makes me give in Or maybe it's just you Oh, Benjamin It won't be time for sleeping until I say when And with a little bit of my breathing I'm sure I could give you heat again Oh, Benjamin And it won't be time for goodbyes until I say when And when I say goodbye it means until we meet again Oh, Benjamin Why am I always walking to your place in the rain When I thought that I said I would never do this again Maybe it's my heart that makes me give in Or maybe it's just you Oh, Benjamin Why am I always walking to your place in the rain When I thought that I said I would never do this again Why do I keep going back to your place in the rain When I know that I said I would never do this again Maybe it's my heart that makes me give in Or maybe it's just you Oh, Benjamin

For the first time I feel like you trust me All of this life I have been faithful to you You took your time making up your mind Can you finally fall right into me? If you need to laugh I'll make you laugh If you need to cry I'll be your shoulder When the stakes are high And the odds are stacked Don't you worry, baby I got your back We'll get through this if we work together No one else can do it better It's a little give and take Mine is your heart to break If you need to laugh I'll make you laugh If you need to cry I'll be your shoulder When the stakes are high And the odds are stacked Don't you worry, baby I got your back No one thought we'd last this long Guess we'll have to prove them wrong Cuz when there's you and when there's me All I hear is harmony If you need to laugh I'll make you laugh If you need to cry I'll be your shoulder When the stakes are high And the odds are stacked Don't you worry, baby I got your back

15 Below 03:53
We spent the night in the back of the Target parking lot You kept me warm in the back seat 'till the sun came up Before long you wanted to go It was nearly 15 below And your car was completely covered in snow I said, "That's the way it is in Chicago." I said, "That's the way it is in Chicago." You got out and you wiped off the windows Cuz I decided that it was time to eat I suggested IHOP, but you don't like that spot So we ended up at the little diner down the street Before long you wanted to go It was nearly 15 below And your car was completely covered in snow I said, "That's the way it is in Chicago." I said, "That's the way it is in Chicago." I took out my make-up and I pulled down the mirror You said you like me just the way I am But I just feel better when I'm wearing mascara Will you still like me when my lips are cherry red? Before long you wanted to go It was nearly 15 below And your car was completely covered in snow I said, "That's the way it is in Chicago." I said, "That's the way it is in Chicago."

If I was Humpty Dumpty And I sat on a wall and happened to fall Well my head's coming apart You think I need your heart? No, baby, just give me your hand And help me to my two feet So we can walk away from here and do something Well, I need somebody who can keep me in one piece And if you think you got it, baby, show me what you can do Cuz I'm not gonna sit around and waste my time with you Cuz you might be the wrong man The opposite of sitting is getting up off your ass And doing something good for someone 'fore they even ask The difference between you and me is I know how to laugh You barley even show your teeth for the photographs Well, I need somebody who can make me believe And if you think you got it, baby, show me what you can do Cuz I'm not gonna sit around and waste my time with you Cuz you might be the wrong man I wake up in the morning to the sound of you moaning If you could do that on your own, why'd you take me home? Some people like to take it slow, baby And some people take it fast It doesn't matter to me the speed, but honey make it last Well, I need somebody who can set me free And if you think you got it, baby, show me what you can do Cuz I'm not gonna sit around and waste my time with you Cuz you might be the wrong man

Can you tell the difference Between the fake and real Or do you just feel it? When you look into my eyes Do you know what I am thinking Though my lips don't move? When you smile Nothing matters anymore All my cares go out the door When you smile It's everything, it's in your eyes You inspire me to be more like myself When you smile Is it a coincidence That our souls should meet And we would fall in love I asked of all the stars Hanging in the sky And I prayed to up above When you smile Nothing matters anymore All my cares go out the door When you smile It's everything, it's in your eyes You inspire me to be more like myself When you smile The world dives in the deep end And when it starts to seep in When it's all going wrong You spit it out in a song With nothing taken personally I know it'd be the worst for me But somehow you can handle it A bright, burning candle lit Shining on the rest of us And highlighting the best of us And whatever remains beneath Just hides below your teeth When you smile Nothing matters anymore All my cares go out the door When you smile It's everything, it's in your eyes You inspire me to be more like myself When you smile Nothing matters anymore All my cares go out the door When you smile It's everything, it's in your eyes You inspire me to be more like myself When you smile

Highway Driving in my car Counting mile markers Calculating how far we've gone Highway Making good time Staring out the window And watching as the trees pass us by Highway And it's a long, long way to go A long, long way to go A long, long way to go home Highway We're singing along Turning up the volume Rolling the windows all the way down Highway Accelerating Speeding in the left lane And flashing the brights to the car up ahead Highway And it's a long, long way to go A long, long way to go A long, long way to go home Highway, highway, highway Highway Getting back on it Merging with the traffic And waving thanks in the rearview mirror Highway I'm driving in my car I'm counting mile markers Calculating how far we've gone Highway, highway, highway And it's a long, long way to go A long, long way to go A long, long way to go A long, long way to go A long, long way to go

I say you're beautiful inside I wouldn't lie to you Not when my heart is on the line I give that look cuz I'm imagining What it would be like To hold your breath in mine And I look down cuz We're impossible Then I look up and I scan the stars You've given me so much And you say that I owe you nothing Broken shadows emerge as one You hold my hands now And silence all my fears You ask if I'm gonna be all right But you know I won't feel better Till my eyes are dry from the tears And I look down cuz We're impossible Then I look up and I scan the stars You've given me so much And you say that I owe you nothing

Without You 04:56
I don't recognize that smile on your face Why do you disguise and put your best to waste I know what you're doing You've done it before What you're doing You can't do it anymore This is my confession I know I do it all the time But I have learned my lesson And I'm taking back what is mine I know what I'm doing I've done it before What I'm doing I can't do it anymore And I know I'm not by myself without you And I know I'm not by myself without you I tried to take a stand For what I thought we were fighting for But it's not what you had planned So who's holding the door I know what we're doing We've done it before What we're doing We can do it anymore And I know I'm not by myself without you And I know I'm not by myself without you
9.
A broken glass is still beautiful A profound rain flies like an airplane I know your beauty by heart Because you arrived after the passion A big moon A frozen star From far away From memory The rhythm of faith
10.
Tendency 03:36
I have a tendency to get worked up and overreact But my little sister taught me to sit back and take a deep breath I have a tendency to get worked up and overreact But my little sister taught me to sit back, try to relax
11.
You came to me in a dream When I hardly even knew you And I started wondering Just who you are And what you're all about So I got in touch with you To figure this fantasy out And now it's back and forth And nothing's moving forward Back and forth Hanging on every word Back and forth And nothing's moving forward Back and forth And I'm just hanging on your every word Now all that I seem to recall I got lost inside your kisses And I didn't mind at all But curiosity got the best of me Let's move beyond the letters And test this chemistry And now it's back and forth And nothing's moving forward Back and forth Hanging on every word Back and forth And nothing's moving forward Back and forth And I'm just hanging on your every word Now I'm just waiting for your next move So I can ready my defense I'm good at falling hard and really fast Without any common sense So what's the word, what's the word are you ready To step outside and walk with me Hold my hand, hold the door, hold my face when you kiss me And write me some poetry But it's just back and forth And nothing's moving forward Back and forth Hanging on every word Back and forth And nothing's moving forward Back and forth And I'm just hanging on your every word

They were a match made in heaven And all of their friends did agree But sometimes some things just happen And some love is not meant to be In the sunny corner diner She read what he said But with bright lights and wide eyes upon her Not even one tear was shed He wrote "Baby, I have tried But this is what I need In my dirty old Chevy I'll fly Please don't cry You know I had to leave." Now in the bathroom she's crying Cuz deep down she knows That while his toothbrush is still lying there He was just dying to go He wrote "Baby, I have tried But this is what I need In my dirty old Chevy I'll fly Please don't cry You know I had to leave." P.S. I love you, my pretty, my star I got a picture of you hanging inside my car P.S. I love you, my pretty, my star And I'll toast this next one to you "Oh my baby, I have tried But this is what I need In my dirty old Chevy I'll fly Please don't cry You know I had to leave."

When I Die 03:26
When I die put me on a bus Take me to the desert and sprinkle my dust When I say those last words Somebody send me a savior and not a curse Cuz I know I ain't been all together too good But, baby, I seen worse And when that angel shows his face Takes me by the hand to that sacred place I will say with faith in my eye That on the way out I enjoyed the ride I won't go regretting the good or the bad stuff When I die Oh, Lord, cuz when I die put me on a bus Take me to the desert and sprinkle my dust You can sprinkle my dust You can sprinkle my dust
