Darling, I can see your shadow shuffling its feet from half a mile away.
Time seems to have run past, and you know I wish it'd stopped a moment. I wish that I'd been phased.
In the end I've seen it all. Or so I tell myself to feel okay.
Well, my friend. You've seen me fall. I fell for years, and I feel it to this day.
Yeah, you have a life of your own. Why'd you have to ruin mine?
You keep changing up your tone. Confusion's got me in a bind.
Darling, I can see your shadow shuffling its feet from half a mile away.
Time seems to have run past, and you know I wish it'd stopped a moment. I wish that I'd been phased.
In the end I've seen it all. Or so I tell myself to feel okay.
Well, my friend. You've seen me fall. I fell for years, and I feel it to this day.
In the end I've seen it all, or so I tell myself to feel okay?
Well, my friend you've seen me fall. I fell for years, and I feel it to this day.
I'm reeling back, it's just not my fault. This bridge ain't high enough for me.
I'm feeling sad, it's just my default. Stuck in the lies that your mouth speaks.
Darling, I can see your shadow shuffling its feet from half a mile away.
Time seems to have run right past, and you know I wish it'd stopped a moment.
In the end I've seen it all. Or so I tell myself to feel okay.
Well, my friend. You've seen me fall. I fell for years, and I feel it to this day.

In the eyes of those that he once loved, he'd fallen to a path of waste.
I sat close-by and wondered why you fell to the demons you'd faced.
Your life was lived on the open road. Your back was turned to a place called home.
Your heart stilled yearned and her hair had flowed like whiskey that seeped through your bones.
You're cold, left outside by the masses.
Your pain just like life? Well it passes.
You'll open the door to a new world,
where hope was ignored just like you were.
You lost all fear of death and love. You lost almost everything.
Your mind was gone, and you'd been across every road in this world to see what they would bring.
The tales you told inspired me. I aimed to leave like you.
I thought of all the friends I'd leave. I stayed for those, though they may be few.
You're cold, left outside by the masses.
Your pain just like life? Well it passes.
You'll open the door to a new world,
where hope was ignored just like you were.

He's lost and she's the cause. Self hatred all across his arms.
Defends himself again. Anything to deal with this some more.
He's losing most of the war, but he tries.
He tells himself he's okay, but it's lies.
Can we go over it again?
Last time it went over my head.
How could you live with this within?
What do you mean the girl is dead?
Blames himself constantly. When he confides in me he's torn.
Says that he should've known. Burned holes in all the clothes he's worn.
She left a broken man drowning. No sign of land. He cries
for help that never comes. Ten shots and he is done for life.
His life is already over. So he thinks.
One more shot at "redemption." Instead, he drinks.
Can we go over it again?
Last time it went over my head.
How could you live with this within?
What do you mean the girl is dead?

An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
Plowing through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cries
Yippie I oh oh oh
Yippie I aye ye ye
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred
Their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's riding hard to catch that herd
But he ain't caught em yet
Cause they got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire as they ride on hear their cries
As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name
'If you wanna save your soul from hell a-riding on our range
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies
Yippie I oh oh oh
Yippie I aye ye ye
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky

Hey Ya! (Cover)

My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know for sho
But does she really want it
But can't stand to see me
Walk out the door?
Don't try to fight the feeling
Cause the thought alone is killing me right now
Thank God for Mom and Dad
For sticking through together
Cause we don't know how
Hey ya! Hey ya!
Hey ya! Hey ya!
Hey ya! Hey ya!
Hey ya! Hey ya!
You think you've got it
Oh, you think you've got it
But "got it" just don't get it
'Til there's nothing at all
We've been together
Oh, we've been together
But separate's always better
When there's feelings involved
If what they say is "Nothing is forever"
Then what makes, then what makes, then what makes
Then what makes, what makes, what makes
Love the exception?
So why oh why why oh why
Are we so in denial
When we know we're not happy here?

Time spent in the hospital for weeks.
Time spent on the medicine prescribed.
Dumb luck that I have your angel eyes fixed on me.
Dumb luck that you've let me meet with you inside.
I can't believe it. You've brought some feeling back into this lonely heart of mine.
I'm barely breathing. I'm sad that you're leaving. I'd love to hear your voice one more time.
Take me. When you run away from here I will join.
Take me to the places in your dreams. Walk with me.
Time spent with you right there, over-joyed.
Time spent with your fingers wrapped in mine. Felt complete.
I can't believe it. You've brought some feeling back into this lonely heart of mine.
I'm barely breathing. I'm sad that you're leaving. I'd love to hear your voice one more time.

Twenty Year Old Booze

I think I am confused, 'cause I'm thanking you for nothing.
I haven't left your arms yet, and I still regret my stay.
I'm leaving you, but it's when that I'm deciding,
I'm tired of this fighting, but it happens every day.
Twenty year old booze, it was made the day that I was,
It came straight from the bottom of the barrel where I lay.
Drink until I lose all functioning and reason,
Maybe I can help myself to find the words to say.
You remind, you remind me of myself.
If you were mine, you were mine I'd screw it up.
I don't need, I don't need anybody else.
Look at me while I look into my empty cup.
Do you need me or the person you remember?
I'm not the same as I was, or ever might've been.
It's hard to be that man from last October,
I swear that I'll get sober, it's just I don't know when.
Twenty year old booze, it tastes just like your lips do,
Swear that I don't miss you, but I miss having a friend.
Shaking with regret, I don't believe my own lies,
But I do believe in compromise and I need the help you lend.
You remind, you remind me of myself.
If you were mine, you were mine I'd screw it up.
I don't need, I don't need anybody else.
Look at me while I look into my empty cup.
