I wanna run, I wanna walk in the street
I wanna flip off everyone I meet
I don't take any chances
I don't take any chances
I wanna meet the girl who's just so sweet
That I'm warm from my head to my feet
but I'm hopeless at romances
I don't take any chances
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
make some noise, speak in tongues
but I get these sideways glances
and I don't take any chances
Invisibility has it's price
you can't even roll the dice,
but I don't even care
I don't even care
I know that others took that path
their lives destroyed, burned down black
but I'll let them have their trances
I don't take any chances
But I wanna know what life's about
I find my path, let it out
and I'm interpreting dances
and I don't take any chances
Invisibility has it's price
you can't even roll the dice
I don't even care
I don't even care
Cus' life's so much more than what I see
somehow it still passes me
they say that it's all here for the taking
but in my hands it's breaking
So I got my guitar and recorder too
step out in the yonder blue
I'm taking all these chances
I'm ready for these dances
maybe one day I'll find it out
maybe this is what life's about
maybe it's taking chances
Impossibility has it's price
you can't even roll the dice
I don't even care
I don't even care
Invisibility stay away
I just wanna be seen today
and I'm starting to care
I'm starting to care

Take your card, punch in punch out,
out for coffee, gone about
kiss the woman, punch her out
pay your dues with borrowed doubt
have some kids, make them pay
lock them up most every day
make them work on borrowed time
so they will grow up hating life
I'm working the grind, I'm working overtime
I'm waiting on when I'll lose my mind
Can't take it anymore, Can't take it anymore
Got to get this off my mind
I'm done putting my life on the line

Alone for Now

You seem distant
As if I’m looking through a haze
Seeing shadows in a maze
But here you are
Lost and but a child, but bigger than what you surround
Girl please won’t you find your way around
When the stars are falling down?
Then I’ll find you here
waiting over there
In a way, this is fate
Who knows
Things find ways to just work out
And we’re alone for now
And we can make it
And we’re alone for now
And baby I ain’t fakin
And we’re alone for now
Even the stars are waiting
Until they fall, I’ll wait with you
Find a way to make it true
Then I found you
Waiting at the edge of the world
and still you pretend that you don't notice me,
But sideways looks abound
Babe, tell me what’s going down?
When will I see you around?
And we’re alone for now
And we can make it
And we’re alone for now
And baby I ain’t fakin
And we’re alone for now
Even the stars are waiting
Until they fall, I’ll wait with you
Find a way to make it true
Then I found you
Crying like a child, waiting for the world to turn around you
still we can find a way
still we can find a way

Running Back

I ran for a while
Ran to the far ends of the earth
Threw myself down at your feet
Measured down to match your beat
Out in the times
Where love and trust were more than words
So hey your highness
What did you do today?
Are you still trying to find your way
Chasing all your dreams away
Never to return again
Cuz I thought that I was
Always looking for something better
But here I am,
Running back to you again
I thought it was all gone
But you’re something I treasure
Here I am
Falling out for you again
Faster than the sky is falling
I found myself chasing after you
Chasing all my dreams away
Always finding something new to choose
Are you still trying to find your way
Chasing all your dreams away
Never to return again
I thought that I was
Always looking for something better
But here I am,
Running back to you again
I thought it was all gone
But you’re something I treasure
Here I am
Falling out for you again
