"Back to Seventeen"

It's crowded on the avenue, all the people here got things to do
Everybody's all got places they have to be
So let's rewind and let's get lost
and lose our minds and walk across
that street lit up with lights you and me

Oh I was in the backseat headed for the city lights
Stuck inside the same old skin like a tiger stuck in stripes
Boston New York City we were somewhere in between
But city lights guide us right back to seventeen

Falling back into you again, haven't skipped a beat with you my friend
The looks the laughs the love don't you agree
So let's go find the things we lost
and let's make time to dance across
a city full of lights you and me

So give me your fingertips my world I'll give to you
You can spin it as you please, around I'll spin for you
Stumbling crashing my hearts back in my head
All the things you want, all the things you said
Love disaster is turning, night lights still burning

I was in the backseat headed for the city lights
Stuck inside the same old skin like a tiger stuck in stripes...
Boston New York City we were somewhere in between
Take me back a couple years ago,
We'll go back to the place we know,
City lights guide us right back to seventeen

Oh yeah
Oh yeah

"Hurricane Baby"

Toss and turn tonight shes wide awake,
5am but something just can't wait,
She feels like walking down through the old ghost town,
A place shes grown to hate

So you can put that pain on me
You can just breathe with me
You can be the same if you want but don't be afraid
You can let go with me
When we're alone tell me
Anything you want because I can hold you close
My hurricane baby

She don't cry no more she's hard as a rock,
But when she speaks her mind its soft when she talks
And something eats at her and sleeps with her,
A storm that just won't stop

You're stumbling out and you're fumbling forward
outside as the morning sunlight comes,
Somethings in your blood got you feeling good
got you feeling so blissfully dumb,
But you're alright baby,
You're alright baby,
You're alright baby,
You're alright, you're alright

So you can put your pain on me
You can just breathe with me
You can be the same if you want but don't be afraid
You can let go with me
When we're alone tell me
Anything you want because I will hold you close
Now put your pain on me
You can just breathe with me
You can be the same if you want but don't be afraid
You can let go with me
When we're alone tell me
Anything you want because I can hold you close
I will hold you close
Let me hold you close

"Hurricane Baby - Acoustic"

"Home"

Wake up at noon I'm still dizzy
Feels good to sleep outside the city
Brings me back feeling that I'm a kid
Go grab some food and joke all day
We're passing time but it don't feel that way
Brings me back feeling that we're still kids
And I,
I love

Outside its warm the sun's on me
Inside make fun of people on TV
Funny that its a fact I'm a kid
The night it comes we're going out
We're gettin drunk we're gettin loud
'cause we're still kids
And I,
I love

Home, this is where I belong
This is home, this is where I won't be alone
This is home, this is where I can be my own
This is home, this is where I feel home

Bright lights and cars its where I live
Sometimes its hard but I ain't no kid no, no I'm a grown ass man
The city life's a drug and its got me bad
Clean clothes and clubs, passed out in a cab
Whoa, maybe I'm still a kid but I, I love

Home, this is where I belong
This is home, this is where I won't be alone
This is home, this is where I can be my own
This is home, this is where I feel home

And all day and all night, all these stories come to life and
I say,
I say,
I say
This is where I want to be, feeling young with you close to me
I say,
I say,
I say

Home this is where I belong
This is home this is where I belong
This is home whoa this is where I belong
This is home yeah.. this is where I feel home

Wake up at noon I'm still dizzy
Feels good to sleep outside the city

"Sticks and Stones"

The world is heating up, while my head is cooling down
Party night here it comes see the lights, hear the sounds, oh let's go
Go...
Feet hit the streets going hard 'til the night ends
Sticks and stones and bones ain't the best friends
Can't stop now 'cause nobody is leaving I feel crazy
Going to hard are they ever gonna break me
Ride I'm on who knows where it takes me
Can't stop now 'cause tonights getting crazy
I feel crazy

All alone, crowded place, where to go, see a face I know
Stop to say hello break my bones, sticks and stones
The world is standing still, while my head is spinning round
Another night here it comes, whoa the lights whoa the sounds

Feet hit the streets going hard 'til the night ends
Sticks and stones and bones ain't the best friends
Can't stop now 'cause nobody is leaving I feel crazy
Going to hard are they ever gonna break me
Ride I'm on who knows where it takes me
Can't stop now 'cause tonights getting crazy
I feel crazy
I feel crazy
I feel crazy

Do you wanna be, do you wanna live it up
In my head I can see, the nights never giving up
We can go somewhere, anywhere
We can stay right here 'til the light comes near you and me
Let's live it up

"Ain't Gonna Buy You"

I want guitars and cars and a big TV,
Open bar the stars and a new doggie,
I want my house down south on a perfect beach,
but more importantly I gotta make you see,
That I'm your lion your my lamb,
your my woman and I'm your man,
but I better think before I buy you this drink,
'Cause everybody wants to be your friend

She is dangerous,
Hard not to fall in love,
Everybody thinks they're Superman,
And everybody's got money,
But I'm just trying to be an honest man,
'Cause I know that it ain't gonna buy you love

I've seen the two's at ten and ten's at two
and by 3a.m. they'd be back in my room
wake up in the morning wishing they we're you
askin' god damn shit what I do
Cuz I've been known to drink and I've been known to joke
I don't usually think and I don't usually smoke
but once upon a time
I was the one you had your eye on

She is dangerous,
Hard not to fall in love,
They all want to be the king of the world,
have all the money,
But I just wanna see my favorite girl,
'Cause I know that it ain't gonna buy me love

I got beat up shoes I got a rip in my jeans
some people call it fashion I dont know what they mean
'Cause I just do what makes me comfortable
and you make me comfortable
Tequila baby with some salt and lime
brought to me bartender points down, down, the line
you look so beautiful
makes it easy to fall

She is dangerous,
Hard not to fall in love,
Everybody thinks they're Hercules,
And everybody's got money,
But I got you're only currency,
'Cause I know that it ain't gonna buy you love

It ain't gonna buy you love yeah
nothing can buy you love oh
Ain't Gonna buy you love whoa
Ain't gonna buy you

"Fly Away"

The hardest thing is to say goodbye to that beautiful one thats been buy your side
but you try and you try just to keep up high
Sometimes you fall, times you must crawl, times are hard just to keep your head up tall
but you try and you try just keep up high
But don't feel trapped no more
You got the sky above you, the sky above you, soar

And fly, fly-lala away
now Just set your mind and go and find those things you need
Just fly, fly-lala away
darling spread your wings on brand new things and be devine
Yeah

Oh it felt like make believe the way it always seemed you and I stuck it out through the extreme
darling I tried I tried just to keep this a lie
But I can't ignore the world if there's more so its time, time to find but with an open door
'cause we can always try to keep this alive
But don't feel trapped no more
You got the sky above you, the sky above you, soar

And fly, fly-lala away
Now just set your mind and go and find those things you need
Just fly, fly-lala away
Darling spread your wings on brand new things and be devine
Yeah

You've got to get get gone
You've got to get outa here
You've got to go, go, go, yeah...

But don't feel trapped no more,
No don't feel trapped no more,
Don't feel trapped, don't feel trapped no more no more no more,
You got the sky above you, the sky up above you, soar

And fly, fly-lala away
Now just set your mind and go and find those things you need
Just fly, fly-lala away
Darling spread your wings on brand new things and be devine
Yeah

Won't you fly-lalalala
Won't you fly-lalalala
Won't you fly-lalala away
Yeah

"Holiday"

Whiskey bottle on the table spin,
where it lands my plans may begin,
east coast west coast I'm back again,
gotta love gotta give I got to sin,
'Cause truth is I could never be bad,
truth is I could never be good,
stuck in the middle wishing
if I could pick one side I would,
22 fill out job applications,
23 need a birthday celebration,
No more dreaming, no more scheming,
I packed my bags 'cause today I'm leaving

I got my education, I'm about to lose my patience,
I got to get, get wasted, I need a God damn vacation,
Me and my friends got no direction checking out girls every other second,
Sometimes you gotta get away, make today a holiday

Got two queens, a king, a jack, and a nine
can't bluff to win but wanna make it all mine,
Lookin' at me like its time to move
but does everyone know that I can't lose,
'Cause truth is my girl says I'm bad,
truth is my momma said I'm good,
stuck in the middle who cares,
I just do what I think I should
'Cause me and my friends like betting all out money
spending all the cash with whoever gets lucky
We're done with dreaming and we're done with scheming,
We packed our bags 'cause today we're leaving

make today a holiday

We can blame it on religion, we can blame it on our skin
We can make up some tradition, just so we can get messed up again,
We can set this town on fire, quit our jobs and go retire,
This is our holiday let's celebrate and say

"Tightropes"

Cat calls and a couple cat-fighters,
no sleep pulled another all-nighter,
hold me close just a little bit tighter,
'cause I'm a hero baby I'm a hero,
Short skirts and heels getting higher,
soft skin and a cigarette lighter,
she's the spark and damn she's the fire,
is she a physco maybe I'm a physco
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
You got me so high up

Call me from the police station,
she said baby this cop must be mistaken,
it ain't me who they think is law breakin',
Ain't that some bullshit hurry 'cause I'm homesick,
I told her don't worry it'll be alright,
just breathe coming now baby sit tight,
"(?)"
I'll bail you out 'cause baby I'm your hero
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
You got me so high up

I'm walking on tightropes,
Sneaking out of windows,
And I just saw a lighting show,
It made my mind blow,
Hanging out like heros
Trying to keep in control,
Way up on these tightropes,
Don't look down below

Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker,
I hide myself so I'm like every other,
She got friends with criminal records,
Is she a criminal maybe I'm just cynical,
Don't judge me she said to the judge,
I like coffee and I like rum,
Daddy's girl brings more trouble than his son,
'Cause she's a criminal and that's why I'm into her
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
You got me so high up
I'm walking on tightropes,
Sneaking out of windows,
And I just saw a lighting show,
It made my mind blow,
Hanging out like heros
Trying to keep in control,
Way up on these tightropes,
Don't look down below
