The New Now

Tracklist

Hold on to let go

See no walls so I am free
There's no place I'd rather be
on this misty morning, in this old town

With only hope and a message for the lonely

Got my head high
Got my soul shining
Got my tears flowing
Got the wheels turning
Got the sunshine
Got ideas lighting
Got the whole world beside me

Got to hold on to let go
Got to hold on to let go

I sit here on my porch
Feel the wind, I'm free I'm sure
I'll leave the outside world for what it's worth

Ooh my only hope is to ignore feeling lonely

Got my head high
Got my soul shining
Got my tears flowing
Got the wheels turning
Got the sunshine
Got ideas lighting
Got the whole world beside me

Got to hold on to let go
Got to hold on to let go

The Weight

Close to dawn, I turn so deep inside
Feel every stone I carried around
for so long

But now that I got what I want
I'm not so sure the weight is gone
Still heavy on my shoulders
I'm carrying on
The weight ain't gone

A force so strong is pulling me down
Can barely hold this gravity I've found
Feels so wrong

But now that I got what I want
I'm not so sure the weight is gone
Still heavy on my shoulders
Still carrying on
The weight ain't gone

But now that I got what I want
I'm not so sure the weight is gone
Still heavy on my shoulders
Still carrying on
The weight ain't gone

Another Goodbye

Do you think it was easy saying goodbye
'Cause there's nothing as hard as telling someone a lie
straight from the heart

And then the world came tumblin' down
There was no escapin' from what we had found

But I still believe in another goodbye
The one without questions and reasons why
Ooh I still believe
Yeah I still believe

I still feel you lead me through my darkest of days
When all of my brightness has turned into ashes
and has blown away

And then our world came tumblin' down
There was no escapin' from what we had found

But I still believe in another goodbye
The one without questions and reasons why
Ooh I still believe
Yeah I still believe

What another chance could bring
Maybe another chance could heal my heart
In another time and place
We'll be again who we were and who we are

'Cause I still believe in another goodbye
The one without questions and reasons why
Ooh I still believe
Yeah I still believe

Life between shadows

Above the clouds
You see the white and the blue
Whipped cream
Lavender silk
Morning mist
Frozen in time
Leaving white smoke
on a violet skyline

We live a life between shadows
We live a life between shadows
What seemed so distant to me
Has now become real

The color of mourning
still leaves a trace
When night becomes dawn
A hummingbird beat
keeps you awake
When the blood in your veins
Is finding its way

We live a life between shadows
We live a life between shadows
What seemed so distant to me
has now become real

A twilight gone without a warning
Like a bullet leaves the gun

We live a life between shadows
We live a life between shadows
What seemed so distant to me
Has now become real

Black Eyes

A silver line around your velvet eyes
I know in heaven Mama cries for you
So many times you couldn't get along
I still don't know what happened to your love

But I still miss you every minute, every day and every hour
I still feel the warmth you gave me though time's no longer ours

Now sometimes I've got these black eyes
And they get darker than a thunderstorm
In the middle of a conversation
Even in the chorus of a song
Ooh the these black eyes keep me worried
These black eyes can't keep holding on
And for years I've wondered where those eyes keep coming from

There're so many stories that I don't know
A lot of them happened so long ago
I felt it, that time when you were leaving
The thought of that continued in your heartbeat

But I still miss you every minute, every day and every hour
I still feel the warmth you gave me though time's no longer ours

But sometimes I've got these black eyes
And they get darker than a thunderstorm
In the middle of a conversation
Even in the chorus of a song
Now the these black eyes keep me worried
These black eyes can't keep holding on
And for years I've wondered where those eyes keep coming from

But I still miss you every minute, every day and every hour
I still feel the warmth you gave me though time's no longer ours

Now sometimes I've got these black eyes
And they get darker than a thunderstorm
In the middle of a conversation
Even in the chorus of a song
Now these black eyes keep me worried
These black eyes can't keep holding on
And for years I've wondered where those eyes keep coming from

Gold Rush

Hear the train leavin'
It ain't coming back no more
See the buildings rising
All that glitters ain't no gold

'Cause the city don't feel like home no more
She sold her soul some years ago

As the night is fallin'
Lights up in the sky
Ain't the stars that are shining
Just dollars flying by

Cause the city don't feel like home no more
She sold her soul some years ago

Stuck in the gold rush
Diggin', scrapin', score
Stuck in the gold rush
All we want is more more more
Stuck in the gold rush
Big black tires down that gravel road
Stuck in the gold rush

No Lucky Strikes, just dust and dirt
No 501's and white T-shirts
Stuck in the gold rush

As the neon's burning
Streets are all drowned in green
Ain't the light's reflection
It's the Benjamins you see

Now the city don't feel like home no more
She sold her soul some years ago

Stuck in the gold rush
Diggin', scrapin', score
Stuck in the gold rush
All we want is more more more
Stuck in the gold rush
Big black tires down that gravel road
Stuck in the gold rush

No Lucky Strikes, just dust and dirt
No 501's and white T-shirts
Stuck in the gold rush

Stuck in the gold rush
Diggin', scrapin', score
Stuck in the gold rush
All we want is more more more
Stuck in the gold rush
Big black tires on that gravel road
Stuck in the gold rush

Stuck in the gold rush

That Midnight Thang

I was always waiting on that midnight thang
Thought that something was wrong with me
I was hangin' on the corner of every night
I heard people say to me

You're only here to get wasted
You're only here to get wasted

But I won't hang around too long
In the morning I'll be gone
'Cause the daylight don't got nothing on me
The light's too bright, my eyes can't see

I'm addicted to that midnight thang
Ooh that midnight thang
So excited what the night will bring
Don't wanna miss a minute of that midnight thang

I was always waiting on that midnight thang
I thought the day would last too long
I'd lose my patience, while waiting on the sun to go down
It was the night were I belonged

It was a time to get wasted
It was a time to get wasted

I didn't hang around too long
In the morning I'd be gone
'Cause the daylight don't got nothing on me
The light's too bright, my eyes can't see

I'm addicted to that midnight thang
That midnight thang
So excited what the night will bring
Don't wanna miss a minute of that midnight thang

Red Moon

Feel like doing nothin'
Nothin' on my mind
Just sittin' around here
Wasting my time

I feel it slippin' away

Don't care about anything
The light is you
The words I say and sing, so untrue

I feel it slippin' away
Control is leavin' today

There's a red moon in October's sky
There's a red moon in October's sky
It's been following me around for a long long time
See the red moon lighting up the night, lighting up

Don't try to remember
Leave memories behind
But just like an old wound
they burst open sometimes

I feel it slippin' away
Control is leavin' today

There's a red moon in October's sky
There's a red moon in October's sky
It's been following me around for a long long time
See the red moon lighting up the night, lighting up

Spark a fire

I was arrested on the night we kissed
While walking back home alone
Guess I missed some things

Called you up in the morning
“Guess where I've spent the night?”
You thought I was sleeping around

Didn't we just spark a fire
Didn't we just light the night
Didn't we just start something, so beautiful

One of those summers nights you won't forget
We started foolin' around
Still doing that after sixteen years

Through the good times and the bad
Loving you is all I ever had
But it's all I need to get by

Didn't we just spark a fire
Didn't we just light the night
Didn't we just start something, so beautiful

Didn't we just spark a fire
Didn't we just light the night
Didn't we just start something, so beautiful, so true

The New Now

We took a wrong turn on a road filled with regret
And kinda lost our way
We met the silence in the peace and quiet for more than just a day

And every time we burned our hopes and killed our dreams
It was not an easy way to face reality

And out of the blue
We're in the new now
Out of the blue
We're in the new now
Out of the blue
We hit a wall
But saw a new sky above us
while we thought we'd seen them all

It's an ancient way of travellin' through life
When mistakes are set aside
And forget about what used to be so valuable at any price

And every time we burn our hopes and kill our dreams
It is not an easy way to face reality

And out of the blue
We're in the new now
Out of the blue
We're in the new now
And out of the blue
We hit a wall
But saw a new sky above us
while we thought we'd seen them all

Tuesday

In the weekend we're so busy
And on Monday we're just tired
And Wednesday is for lovin'
And on Thursday, years fly by
And Friday, we're just working on the dream
So Tuesday, only Tuesday, Tuesday's good for crying

Weeks filled with time
Time that goes by
It's on Saturday that I'm lonesome
and on Sunday I'm alright
Thursday, Friday sometimes become one
So Tuesday, only Tuesday, Tuesday's good for crying

Tuesday's good for crying on your own
'Cause there's no one there to give you what you want
And sometimes it's so lonely when you're not alone
When the day is done, your heart feels cold as stone

Tuesday's good for crying on your own
'Cause there's no one there, who can give you what you want
And sometimes it's so lonely when you're not alone
When the day is done, your heart feels cold as stone

Weeks filled with time
Time that goes by

Outta Love

The clouds reflect in your sunglasses
Your lips are red, and I know
The aqua sea make your eyes even greener
And turns your skin into gold

There's one thing so sure
No, I'll never fall outta love with you
No, I'll never fall outta love with you

A pearl of sweat drips off your body
on the white sand below
You look at me and tell me what're you thinking
Oh oh, honey, let's go

There's one thing so sure
No, I'll never fall outta love with you
No, I'll never fall outta love with you

There ain't no doubt about it
There ain't no reason for it
There ain't no certainty
But I will never fall outta love with you

There's one thing so sure
No, I'll never fall outta love with you
No, I'll never fall outta love with you

There ain't no doubt about it
There ain't no reason for it
There ain't no certainty
But I will never fall outta love with you

No, I'll never fall outta love with you

Weak & Weary

When I feel weak and weary in the morning
I turn to you to brighten up my day
When I can't handle the truth or what I'm feelin'
I turn to you, and my troubles go away

When I feel weak and weary in the morning
I turn to you to brighten up my day
When I can't handle the truth or what I'm feelin'
I turn to you, and my troubles go away

All my troubles seem so far
when you open up your heart
And lovin' arms
that always reach for me

When I feel weak and weary in the morning
I turn to you to brighten up my day
When I can't handle the truth or what I'm feelin'
I turn to you, and my troubles go away
I turn to you, and my troubles go away
