Caroline
Verse One:
I read the letters that you send
You've got me broken up again
'Cause I can read between the lines
You won't show me what's inside
But I know the secrets that you keep
They show when you're talking in your sleep
As for me I tell you everything
I wear it on my sleeve
Pre-Chorus:
I still love you Caroline
I'll tell you a thousand times
I can read between the lines
But I could not see the warning signs
Well I guess my love was blind
'Cause now you've gone away
And I'd like to say…
Chorus:
Caroline, Caroline
What are you running from this time
Caroline can you hear me now
'Cause I'm calling out so loud
Caroline, Caroline
You know I'm never gonna say goodbye
I know I'll see you again
And I will wait for you till then
Verse Two:
I know I've been here for too long
And I'm still singing the same old song
A broken record in my head
A million things I should have said
But this time I've learned to play the fool
In this game I've broken on the rules
And I have nothing left inside
I can't laugh and I can't cry
Pre-Chorus:
I still miss you Caroline
We've been here a thousand times
Living in the backseat of my mind
Those were the best days of my life
But now you've gone away
And I'd like to say…
Chorus
Bridge:
Caroline, Caroline…
Chorus:
Caroline, Caroline
What are you running from this time
Caroline can you hear me now
'Cause I'm calling out so loud
Caroline, Caroline
You know I'm never gonna say good-
No I'm never gonna say good-
No I'm never gonna say goodbye
I will wait for Caroline

Astronaut Song
Verse One:
I use to think that I could be an Astronaut
If I just gave it all I got
I can do anything I want
But I'm older now and so I recognize a lie
Doesn't matter how hard I try
You know I'll never reach the stars
My hopes my best laid plans and all my dreams you see
Are too big for my ability
You know I try with all my might
To spread my wings making this Earth a memory
Make everyone remember me
As I'm flying out of sight
Whoa oh oh oh
Chorus:
Don't tell me its ok when it's not
Don't tell me I can buy what can't be bought
Some people have a little
Some people have a lot
You never get anymore then you already…
Verse Two:
I use to give everything I had and more
Can't remember what I did it for
Everybody lets me slide
Isn't it great every time we celebrate mediocrity
And learn lessons in hypocrisy
So everybody makes the grade
I took my time to find that I could coast along
And everybody still sings my song
And still you play it like you care
Every time you lie you know you take a little bit of my liberty
Back again in mental slavery
When you worship what is fair
Whoa oh oh oh
Chorus
Guitar Solo
Chorus:
Don't tell me its ok when it's not
Don't tell me I can buy what can't be bought
Some people have a little
Some people have a lot
You never get anymore
You never get anymore
You never get anymore then you already got

Hey California!
Verse 1:
Hey California I still consider you my friend
Even if we never talk or even write again
I will always recall to my mind all the good times that we found
What we have is like the mafia; once you're in you ain't never gettin' out
Now I'm standing at the gates to the graveyard of rock star dreams and so it seems
That I never pegged you for somebody who would settle down
Its an uphill climb keeping your dreams alive
Don't worry 'bout you and I ...It'll be alright
Verse 2:
Hey California as long as I have you on the line
Even if our fates do not erase the separation of space and time
You can always picture me livin' in some back room of your mind
Even though we're both as good as ghosts our memories will never die
Chorus:
Hey.... California
I see the kind of state that you've been livin' in
Hey....California babe
Whatever you need you're gonna have it all in the end
Bridge:
Your blue sky turns to gray when you pin your hopes on just one dream
When you only think about your life in black white you're bound to miss all the beautiful colors in between
Verse 3:
Hey California guess we'll never really say goodbye
'Cause this is not the end its just a separation of space and time, a separation of space and time, a separation of space and time.
Close

Hey Girl what's your name
And have we met you look so familiar
This time this could be right
Or are you looking for someone to take you home tonight

I know I've been there before
And this could be simple if the world was black and white
I know I'm fooling myself
To think this could be something
But it sure feels good tonight

Late night girls are always taking me home
Late night girls you know you can't be alone
You never never gonna give me what I need
Late night girls they ain't got no love for me

Hey you what's your game
And what's your story 'cause you seem to be looking my way
With a quick a smile and eager eyes
You must be looking for someone to keep you warm tonight

I know I've been there before
And this could be something if the mood was right
I know I'm fooling myself to think this could be something
But you look so damn good tonight

Late night girls you get your drinks for free
Late night girls say "hey are you looking at me"
You never never gonna give me what I need
Late night girls ain't gonna get no love from me, yeah
Bridge:
Things happen so fast these days
I'm running 'round in circles
And you spin me out of control
Why don't we test the waters baby
Why don't we take it slow
VerseThree:
Hey Girl what's your name
And have we met you look so familiar
Chorus:
Late night girls
Late night girls
Never, never gonna give me what I need
Late night girls they ain't got no love for me
Late night girls ain't gonna get no love from me

Home
Verse one:
Take it slow don't move so fast
Here we go let's make this one last
The clock on the wall is staring me down
One more dance one more chance to let myself go
Chorus:
And you take me home again
The fire in your eyes leads me home again
Our two worlds collide as I'm finding my way
The light in your eyes leads me home
Leads me Home
Verse Two:
I see your face across the room
A crowded place but my eyes are on you
I can help but hope that things might be the same
The love we know still run through my veins
Chorus:
Bridge:
Stay close to me and I'll hold so tight
Take a step back now but it feels so right
We were here so many years ago
Home…
Ending
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
I wanna go home
Wanna go home
