Hey city lights, all aglow
You make me move up
Or spit me out cold
Hey city lights, what do you know?
You’ve got nothing to offer
But big dreams and gold
I’m all bent out of shape
From riding all your waves
You push me out
You move me on
You pressure me to go along with love
Or give up the city
Hey city lights, give me a show
Tell me about painters
Now on the go
To places, places that I’ll never see
Won’t you take me there?
At least sometime?
I’m all bent out of shape
From riding all your waves
You push me out
You move me on
You pressure me to go along with love
I’m all bent out of shape
From running through your days
So don’t push me out
Or move me on
Or pressure me to go along
I’ll give up the city
Yeah I’ll give you up
Give up the city
Yeah I’ll give you up
Give up the city

I want to make up my mind
I want to take control
I want to write you a song
That shows you my soul
I want to let it all out
Not keep it all in
What this song is about
Is a man who’s tired and wearing thin
You know me
You know me
You know my heart
You made me
You bought me
Break me all apart
I want to dance on my toes
Like no one’s around
I want to write you a song
That shakes your ground
I want to tell you what’s wrong
When it’s not right
Be an art of love and hope
A shining light
You know me
You know me
You know my heart
You made me
You bought me
Break me all apart
So maybe it’s all in me
Or maybe it’s not to be
But you’ve got the best of me
This is all I’ve got
You know me
You know me
You know my heart
You made me
You bought me
Break me all apart

Thrive

The summer comes in and warms my soul
It’s found its place
You know it’s found it's home
Little wonder that I will run with you
My friend, my foe
So run faster my friend
And laugh louder again
And play, won’t you play longer this time?
It’s the only way to thrive
Daybreak arrives and warms my soul
It’s found its place
You know I’ve found my own
Little wonder that I will run to you
My friend, my brother
So run faster my friend
And laugh louder again
And play, won’t you play longer this time?
It’s the only way to thrive
La de da da
La de da da, whoa oh
La de da da, oh whoa oh oh
So run faster my friend
And laugh louder again
And play, won’t you play longer this time?
It’s the only way to thrive
Yes, I know it’s the only way to thrive
Oh, I know it’s the only way to thrive

We're Not There Yet

She puts on a white dress in the cold December snow
To say, “I do” forever
To say, “I will, I know”
Now it’s not easy, and that’s the best part
You’ve got to work hard at love
It’s part science, part art
Oh lover, walk with me
Lover, through the valley
There’s a mountain up ahead
Hold on dear
We’re not there yet
She remembers the days they were running in the rain
Everything was beauty, and nothing was pain
That’s the way that life is
Well, it gets you every time
Put one hand on the wheel
And another in mine
Oh lover, walk with me
Lover, through the valley
There’s a mountain up ahead
Hold on dear
We’re not there yet
Oh lover, walk with me
Lover, through the valley
There’s a mountain up ahead
Hold on dear
We’re not there yet
Hold on dear
We’re not there yet
Hold on dear
We’re not there yet
