BEST THING I NEVER HAD
(B. Richey)

The path's never clear, the road might disappear
The light in your eyes leaves you blind
No time to react, just turn and don't look back
And leave all your reason behind

The feeling was so strong, and the taste so sweet
But it was really never mine to keep

It was the best thing I never had
It might be gone, but it's not so bad
There's no regret, and I don't feel sad
Best thing I never had

Make no mistake, it's not easy to forsake
But it's worse to have never have known
And you'll fall into deep, if you don't look before you leap
Wind up a long way from home

Now I've gone and covered all my tracks
So well that now I can't find my way back

Chorus-Break

You walk on thin ice, and it don't take much to fall through
And I could not see it coming at all
It was alright the last thing I knew

TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T ALREADY KNOW
(B. Richey/A. Watts)

Lost by the ravages of time
Don't speak a word, I read your mind
It's loud-n-clear, you're still here, but you're not mine

You filled every hole until there's no more room
Now surprise, surprise, your heart has grown immune
You used to care, but that was so long ago
Tell me something I don't already know

Fuel for a fire yet to burn
A place there's no haste to return
And I don't need to feed your counterfeit concern

Chorus-Solo

Situations change
My heart stays the same
Great lengths you take
To make your mistakes

Chorus X2

IF IT'S ALL THE SAME TO YOU
(B. Richey)

I can tell that you don't care, whatever
Just passing time with a familiar face
The highs and lows, they start to blend together
What a shame, it's such a total waste

Run out of reasons why I should stay
If I can't make you feel some other way

If it's all the same to you
I'll find something else to do
And forget I ever knew
If it's all the same to you

You've drawn a line that no one ever crosses
I didn't know that you would never bend
So now it's time for me to cut my losses
Can't play this game that I can never win

That look that telles me all I need to know
It doesn't matter if I stay or go

DIE IN HER CAR
(B. Richey)

I always count my blessings
I'm lucky I'm alive
Oh this girl's a racing centerfold, she loves to drive

She's always going 90
And this car's too small and fast
One day soon they're gonna have to scrape me off the dash

Oh another mile might be too far
I know I'm going to die inside her car
She'll hit me with that smile
We'll hit the pavement hard
Oh I'm going to die inside her car

Buckled up and ready
I'm always on alert
We'll end up wrapped around a telephone pole
And man it's going to hurt

So far I've been lucky
But how long can it last
The only way to keep her home is to siphon all her gas

Chorus-Break

Make those tires squeal
Don't take long when she's behind the wheel
Trapped in this cold, hard steel

Holding back a scream, I'm trying
I can't bare to look, I'm dying next to you
Constant vertigo, I'm crying
The only thing I know, Im dying next to you

Solo-Verse-Chorus X2

RIGHT HERE
(B. Richey)

It's never the same when you're gone
How can one night seem so long
Now you're so far away
But I know that's not where you belong

A voice on the phone I can't touch
Maybe I need you too much
I can talk to you every night
But somehow those words from afar aren't enough

I need you right here next to me
No matter what I could never let go
As long as you're right here next to me
That look in your eyes is all I need to know

The truth is we took this too far
The distance is leaving a scar
One day you were here
And now I don't even know where you are

Chorus

If the going gets rough
If you skies turn to black
If there's way too much stuff
I will step up to bat
When you miss me enough
Well you know where I'm at
You could always come back

Chorus
As long as you're right here next to me
Every minute away is a minute too long
I need you right here next to me
Maybe this had to happen to see what was gone

GET IN LINE
(B. Richey)

When was this world overthrown
Lights on but nobody's home
Made up your mind about it
Who needs a mind of their own

We all want so much to believe
Fall for it hard, so naive
What are we gettig back if
We give till it hurts to receive

Wound up so tight, and now it's starting to unwind
My version of your version of your version of mine
Don't look too hard, just stay afraid of what you'll find
Gradual decline, sign of the times, just get in line

Too much is still not enough
A feeling we all hate to love
Common denominator
Swallow your pride like a drug

No use to put up a fight
You're wrong if you believe you are right
When you've got it figured out
It all changes right overnight

Chorus-Break

It's hard to tell, cause here in hell, they're living well
Where's the revenge
Out of control, and on a roll, deep in a hole
Where does it end

Step right up
It's open shut

Wound up so tight, and now it's starting to unwind
My version of your version of your version of mine
Don't look too hard, just stay afraid of what you'll find
Gradual decline, sign of the times, just get in line
If six were nine, I-me-mine, just get in line

30 SECOND SMILE
(B. Richey)

It's not the way hold me
Or the words you told me
You can let the pressure off
You'sold me
I've never seen the picture quite so clear

You've got that silver lining
With the perfect timing
If I were blind I'd still see
That light shining
It's the words that you don't say that I can hear

She's got a 30 second smile
I need that flash of light to make it all worthwhile
The haven in this glow just may be
The only thing that's left to save me
She's got a 30 second smile

I've felt your heart surround me
Since the day you found me
It never ceases to astound me
That you're the only one who understands

There's nothing ordinary
In the way you bare me
And that smile's become my sanctuary
And now you've become a part of who I am

Chorus

I pissed away my youth
Until I met you, then
I stumbled on the truth

Solo-Chorus X2

BEAUTIFUL DREAM
(B. Richey)

Well, I missed the crescendo
That one innuendo, where was I
Well I must have been dreaming
When was the moment when all this right went wrong

I can't see what you see
But it's not up to me, so I'm trying
But now all I can see is
This beautiful dream is gone
This beautiful dream is gone

I don't know what induces
These stupid excuses, Lord help me
These distractions aren't working
And now I've been banished
The one place I belong

All these words I should say
I'l forever replay in slow motion
Cause now all I can see is
This beautiful dream is gone
This beautiful dream is gone
This beautiful dream is gone
This beautiful dream is gone

Solo

I wanted so much just to reach out and touch it
I blinded myself instead
I felt so alive to be tossed out and left for dead
Now I'm left looking for traces of glorious places
That I thought I'd gone beyond
But now all I can see is
This beautiful dream is gone
I said now all I can see is
This beautiful dream... is gone
This beautiful dream is gone

BLIND SPOT
(B. Richey)

I don't mean to wake you
But this dream you're dreaming is odd
Is there something burning
These roses smell like a fraud

The place you've been heading
Is the same fear you're dreading
But it ain't so bad if you just
Look the other way

I've got a blind spot
Who cares and so what
Don't miss what I cannot see
It's always the same plot
Don't look so distraught
This ain't a bad place to be

Can you tell the difference
This Caddy rides like a truck
You may be brilliant
But brother your instincts suck

I'm dying with laughter
Was this what you're after
Would you know the difference
If it bit you on the ass

CAN'T REMEMBER
(B. Richey)

I can't remember
What it was like before you
And how it felt to be alone
I can't remember
It's like this is all I've ever known

I can't remember
When was the last time that I
I wasn't sure where I should be
I can't remember
It's all so distant now to me

I can't remember when we weren't together
I can't remember where I was before you
I can't remember how it felt without you
I can't remember

I can't remember
I've spent a lifetime waiting
So much time that I regret
I can't remember
Or am I just happy to forget

AMMUNITION
(B. Richey)

Standing in theline of fire
Giving into your desire
Always shoots me down

Can't we leave the past behind
Can we ever take the time
To meet on common ground

Please release me
I'm held hostage by your heart
I'd surrender
But I don't know where to start

The weight of the night's upon me
And you've got your sights set on me, oh no

I give you love without condition
Shoot me down baby
You use my love like ammunition

You and I can disagree
Acting like the enemy
The walls are closing in

I can hear you loud and clear
Do we have to interfere
Does anybody really win

If you would just lay down your arms
And let it go
Love's not a sovereign
That you have to overthrow

I raise my hands up higher
And still you open fire, oh no

OH DARLING
(J. Lennon/P. McCartney)

Oh darling, please believe me
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm

Oh darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I beg you
Don't ever leave me alone

When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died

Oh darling, please believe me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me darling

I STILL THINK OF YOU
(B. Richey)

Close my eyes, and you're still here
I see the past so crystal clear
Still holding on as another year goes by

Will I be holding on forever
To a feeling that will never subside

Cause I still think of you
You're a constant point of view
These tears are nothing new
I still think of you

A selfish feeling that my heart protects
If I let it go there'll be nothing left
It's not a thing I can just forget about

There's a chill that runs right through me
Everyday I'm waiting to be without

Chorus

A dream I fall into
I close my eyes, and I still think of you

Solo

Will I be holding forever
To a feeling that will never subside...

Chorus X2
