Be Cool
Feel the magic come over you
Hear the music within
You gotta trust your instinct
Don’t be afraid to feel what you do deep inside
Be cool, don’t rush it too soon
You gotta, take time and if you fake it you’ll lose
You’re gonna get it right
Because you don’t wanna lose
You know you got a desire
Don’t lose hope, it only takes time
Relax your body and your mind
You’re going back and forth
Can’t get it, can’t get it and then
It takes over your soul, taking you from deep within
Oh, you gotta
Be cool, don’t rush it too soon
You gotta, take time and if you fake it you’ll lose
You’re gonna get it right
Because you don’t wanna lose
You know you got a desire

Free
I took one look at you and I knew it was the end
Your eyes reveal the love you lost, there’s no need to pretend
I know you so well, your feelings cannot hide
I know in your heart, our love has died
You won’t hurt me if you wanna go
And if it makes you happy, I will let you know
That I only wanna see, wanna see you be free
You don’t have to be afraid, to tell me how you feel
I thought this love was built on being real
But now I see it was all an illusion
Your dishonesty is my confusion
You won’t hurt me if you wanna go
And if it makes you happy, I will let you know
That I only wanna see, wanna see you be free
I hope that we will always be friends
To go our own ways should not mean it’s the end
Of something that’s taught me, taught me so much
About what is means to be in love

I Do
Lately I’ve been thinkin’ that, clearly, you are the perfect one for me
You treat me like I am heaven sent
Sometimes I get thinking too much about
This life, and when I’m gonna figure out my dreams
But you bring back the center of gravity
You pull me down from the clouds in time to make me see
The sun was shining all along (I do)
I searched and never thought I would’ve found
A love in you, and now it’s time for us to settle down
Because baby I do (I do) want you
You thought it was a little bit crazy
To commit to something that you thought maybe
Might not make it through
But here we are a few years later and
I’m still here and now I finally understand your dreams
But you bring back the center of gravity
You pull me down from the clouds in time to make me see
The sun was shining all along (I do)
I searched and never thought I would’ve found
A love in you, and now it’s time for us to settle down
Because baby I do (I do) want you
Time ain’t gonna stop, and neither will my love for you
I never thought I’d figure out my dreams
Here you are standing on the right side of me
A ring in your hand made just for me, and I’ve got one for you
Vows written to explain just what I’ll do
To keep this fire burning on, through and through for you

Static
Day by day, what can I say?
I can’t stay here no more
I say goodnight, by the dawn’s early
And I stumbled out the door
And I’ll be just another stranger who knows your name
And you’ll be just a little baby who’s not to blame
Static remains, stations too proud to be changed
All my life I meant to throw the dice
And I dropped them on the floor
I went to pick them up and by the time I got enough
You’d staggered out the door
Here and there, my kingdom of despair
You know I’d rather be alone
I turned to look but the sound was all it took
To remove me from my throne
And now I’m just another stranger who knows your name
And you’ll be just a little baby who’s not to blame
Because I’m just another stranger who knows your name
And you’ll be just a little baby who’s not to blame
Static remains, stations too proud to be changed

Soul Records
Come over here, sit down
Don’t wanna relax?
You’re always rushing around
Always checking your facts
Feel the music all around
I know it’s taken me
Let’s put some soul records on
Dig it ‘til we’re feeling free
We’re gonna drop that needle down
Feel the grooves are tight
There ain’t no time to mess around
I got some good advice
Can’t move forward
Unless we’re lookin’ back
Let’s put some soul records on
Motown, Atlantic, or Stax
I said yea, yea, yea
Put your soul records on, come on and groove now baby
Yea, yea, yea
Put your soul records on
I said yea, yea, yea
Put your soul records on

Denied
Why did I ever get so hung up on you?
Through all the endless games you seem to put me through
How could such a sweet face put me through such times
Constant give and take, a kiss and a smile
You know you scarred my heart
You make me go insane, child
I hope one day you know, I hope you feel the same
I’ve been denied, after all those times I tried
All your useless alibis
I’ve been denied, after all those times I tried
All your useless alibis
So here I am again calling you on the line
I play these, play these stupid games
I don’t wanna put up a fight
But I try to play it cool, deep inside I’m dying
One day I’m gonna wisen up, for now I’ll keep on trying
But you’re so misaligned
And I know you can’t, can’t handle the drama
And I wanna, wanna, I wanna make you say it back
You don’t seem to even care

Press Rewind
Testing me with your questions, but I can bet ya I got it down
You think you got a leg up, a few years on me, maybe,
butI know what’s going on
This life is pretty short and this reality we live in
Try to make it worth my while
I say what I need to say, I play what I want to play
I don’t want to waste my time, I do it alone just fine
Won’t find me whining, I’ll take two hits and press rewind
It might not interest you but open up your mind, ‘cause I
I don’t want to waste my time, I do it alone just fine
Won’t find me whining, I’ll take two hits and press rewind
It might not interest you but open up your mind and try to find
A quiet place for you to sit and figure out what life is all about
‘Cause the world is trippin’ you out
You need to chill out and try to handle your life
You might not know what to do, but someway you’ll make it through
Nobody said I would help you
I don’t want to waste my time, I do it alone just fine
Won’t find me whining, I’ll take two hits and press rewind
It might not interest you but open up your mind, ‘cause I

In The Right Place
When I get together with you I don’t like it when I’m feeling so blue
The boss is riding me on the job and the traffic light is just like a mob
But all those things don’t feel the same this evening
My love is not fair and boy you gotta believe me
You know my heart is in the right place
You know my heart is in the right place
You know my heart is in the right place
You know my heart is in the right place
Know that you could probably relate that I got too many things on my plate
With that they’d invent a way to add more hours into a day
I know we’re not collecting like we should
And if I could change it boy you know that I would
You know my heart is in the right place
You know my heart is in the right place
You know my heart is in the right place
You know my heart is in the right place
Give it just a little more time
After a day or two I’m sure we’ll be fine
The ups and downs that life throws our way
Will repeat tomorrow, no one can say
I know we’re not collecting like we should
And if I could change it boy you know that I would

Don't Go
Touch my hand and you will feel it
Listen to my voice and you will hear it
What you’ve done to me is something
That my body language cannot hide
So if it shows too much, too fast, don’t run
Everything you’ve shown me so far is everything I need
So if I get emotional just know
It’s because I’m overwhelmed with your love, babe
It makes me nervous to think of times
I gave my heart away
But I will this time and I’ll hope that you won’t go
Don’t go, no
Oh you’re touch is so intrinsic
It’s a fire that burns deep in me, babe
It was so dark without your embrace
But now you’re here and the sun’s shining on your face to face we lay now
I’m staring deep into those green eyes
Eyes that see me for me and all I see is you
Everything you’ve shown me so far is everything I need
So if I get emotional just know
It’s because I’m overwhelmed with your love, babe
It makes me nervous to think of times
I gave my heart away
But I will this time and I’ll hope that you won’t go
Don’t go, no

Choices
We all have a story
Each will differ from you to me
Decisions we make from day to day
Determine the future we will lead
So take time with your choices
In what you do from day to day
Remember all actions cause a chain reaction
And I miss you now you’ve gone away
All the people you’ve touched can feel you now
Because your presence is beyond reach
But I can still hear your laughter
Calling after me
And I regret the day
I turned your friendship away
I was scared of the choices you made
And now I sing this song today
So take time with your choices
In what you do from day to day
Remember all actions cause a chain reaction
And I miss you now you’ve gone away

Soul Salvation
Seeing all that had come undone
When I went to pack up and run
There was somewhere I’d go inside
But I would just cloud up my mind
Cause you’re my soul, my soul salvation
You’re my soul, my soul salvation
Peace only comes with you
When I have to walk this world alone
Will I find you when I get back home?
Will you help me, darling, see what’s right?
Cause I think I’m just too weak to fight
Cause you’re my soul, my soul salvation
You’re my soul, my soul salvation
Peace only comes with you
I don’t know how, I can’t explain
How you help me stop the rain
I don’t know how, I can’t explain
How you help me stop the rain
My faith was lost, my spirit drowned
You put me back on solid ground
I don’t know how, I can’t explain
How you help me stop the rain
My faith was lost, my spirit drowned
You put me back on solid ground
Cause you’re my soul, my soul salvation
You’re my soul, my soul salvation
Peace only comes with you

In The Moment
It seems too many days have come and passed
But time was never meant to last
We live in the moment but we don’t realize
In time what we can compromise
Getting caught up in the drama
Some days it never ends
Trying hard to make a dollar
I gotta introduce my ends
And at the same time remember, we gotta
Live in the moment
Time is often stolen
And before you know it
You’re story is told, and at an end, yea
It took some time for me to see
How simple this life can be
And once I took the time to realize
In time what we all compromise
Getting caught up in the drama
Those days are at an end
Now that I got the power
To give my life a simple end
And at the same time remember
Live in the moment
Time is often stolen
And before you know it
You’re story is told, and at an end, yea
