Stuck 03:15
-Stuck- In this city I will stay I guess you could say I’m paralyzed in dismay I guess they could say I’m paralyzed in dismay Among all the living and the dead I hope someday I’ll be able to find my place I hope one day I too will find my place Cleansing snow covers all the graves The same snow softly covers every grave To them it must not matter how they’re laid All that’s pretty here ends in flames Every color’s lost to grey All that’s pretty here can’t be saved And I fear I’m doomed here to stay In this city I will stay I guess you could say I’m paralyzed in dismay I guess they could say I’m paralyzed in dismay I guess they could say I’m paralyzed in dismay I hope not to stay so paralyzed in dismay

Miss Someone 03:08
Well I miss California And I miss the sun So far from the Carolinas When life was fun Out there I knew a girl She danced like a flame One night we were talking She said this to me, you know she said I miss someone I've yet to meet I miss someone I've yet to meet I miss someone I've yet to meet On the street, on the street, on the street You know the whole world's working Nobody's got no time They'll never get me 'Cuz all I need's a dime Oh yeah Still I miss California And I miss the sky I'm happy I left there There's a dozen reasons why We were sitting by the fire It was burning low Still she kept on talking While my mind, it slowed She said boy won't you listen You don't know what you're missing Don't go chasing answers Don't go changing my mind Oh yeah I miss someone I've yet to meet I miss someone I've yet to meet I miss someone I've yet to meet On the street, on the street, on the street I miss someone I've yet to meet I miss someone I've yet to meet I miss someone I've yet to meet On the street, on the street, on the street

Be calm, be brave, be bold We'll make it through the storm Though the road ahead feels so long We'll make it there, I swear, if we carry on through dawn Don't count the hours Just enjoy the views Don't neglect the flowers Don't forget to muse And our little fire will keep us warm Lost out here a thousand miles from home Be calm, be brave, be bold We'll make it through the storm Though the storm above feels so strong We'll make it through, I swear, if we hang on 'til the dawn Every stubborn squall will have it's end Through anything I'll be your friend A time will come when the sun returns We'll face it wiser with all we have learned Deafening thunder roars above Hailstones pound the ground Be calm, be brave, be bold my love Peace will be found If we tend the light, we'll make it through the night If we tend the light, we'll make it through the night

I like you She likes me I like you She likes me Together we're two Now we're three Oh, what a story Better write that down Oh, what a story Gotta write that down I like you She likes me I like you She likes me Together we're two Now we're three Now we're three Now we're three Now we're three Now we're three Now we're three
