When I turned 23, I took some time off
To follow my dreams, see what they're made of
I have to make sure that my life will be worth
The time I was given to live on this earth...
I packed up my bags, and I hit the road
I won't stop till I hit the MoPac
There I'll find, peace of mind
Oh Austin, you're all I have left
You're the sum of my parts
The life in my breath
Oh Austin, you're the chance that I need
You're the fire in my eyes
The will to believe…in myself
I can't wait to see my violet crown
And I know, yes I know, she won't let me down
College swag, on the drag
Oh Austin, you're where I belong
You're the family I lost
The choice to be strong
Oh Austin, you're the chance that I need
You're the fire in my eyes
The will to believe…in myself

Look My Way

Waiting in the darkness for you
Waiting in the rain, patiently
Trying to draw the searchlight towards me
Trying to ease the pain, look my way
It hurts to find, ten million waiting in line
What do I do, I'm nothing special to you
It hurts to see, it's just a game of pick and choose
Enjoy your toys cause I'm walking away, gonna find some one who'll look my way
They swarm around you like fruit flies
Tell you sweet lies, you attention whore
And each of them is quite prolific
In their own way quite terrific, but you want more
They fall into your eyes
But I see your disguise
For them madness lies
All I know is I'm gonna go far, gonna jump the #@$! out of this moving car
Time will set me free
Time will let be who I wanna be
Time will heal my scars
Time will end this war with you
Time is all I need

Pass Over

They told me not to stray too far away from you
Or I would surely lose my way, no follow through
So I read the books they told me too, they were about you
Still I don't have a clue
Slowly fade away
Don't look back, don't try to stay
Release their grasp from your shoulders
Don't look back, it's time to pass over
Pass over (x4)
I don't think I'll ever see the light
I can't turn off this switch you put in my head
She said maybe, I said maybe not

I Have To Believe
03:23
|

People that I know are moving by quite fast
Some are miles ahead and seem to have no past
But I'm still stuck inside my head
That little small town in my head
I really want to get ahead
Memories have always been my greatest friend
They've got me through the darkest nights - they've been godsend
But it's time to let some go
So I can find some room to grow
They'll come back to me I know
It may not be true, it can't be construed
But I have to believe
That there's someone I'll meet, who'll wipe me off of my feet
Yes I have to believe
It may not be true, it can't be construed
But I have to believe
That I'll figure this out, what my life's all about
Yes I have to believe

Opening/Closing Sections
Voices 1 and 2
"Hey pretty mama, I know, pretty mama, I'm slow, pretty mama don't go
Once I'm awake they'll be no stopping me
I'll be ten times the man you thought I'd be (just wait you'll see)"
Voices 3 and 4
"Room to run, I need, room to run, so that I
I can show you how far I've come"
Middle Section
"Thought I was ready to jump in the ditch
And roll in the dirt with you
But then I realized that you just wouldn't do
I have to look straight at the truth
So I'll rewrite the book that I wrote while I'm pissing stones
Pissing stone, pissing stones (x2)
They told me to let go of my sense of taste
So I could grow hard for you
So I closed my eyes, let my right hand decide
The room was as white as could be
So I'll rewrite the book that I wrote while I'm pissing stones
Pissing stone, pissing stones (x2)"
