Lost Year (Live)

I put all my apples into one big basket
I come home and you’re astray
I skimmed through the lines of words on the page and I
Signed my life away
And I’m drowning
Like the rain is collecting
And I’m surrounded
There’s just something not connecting
I’m trapped in the lost year
I’m just trying to forget her
I’m trapped in the lost year
I’m just trying to forget her
Before I go insane
We watched and waited as the
Fireflies replaced the light
We’ve come to know as the day
As we stumbled through the warning signs and
Cut off all our other ties
Maybe that’d be enough to stay
And I’m tired
Of pretending not to worry
If it means I’m
Living my whole life
In a hurry
I’m trapped in the lost year
I’m just trying to forget her
I’m trapped in the lost year
I’m just trying to forget her
I put all my sorrows in a tight-knit fist
Punching holes that only hurt my hands
There’s no need to fight it now
I can’t stop it anyhow
And should I if I can?
Im just a-rambling’
Through a dark part
Of the journey
Past these crossroads
There ain’t nothing
That’ll hurt me
I’m trapped in the lost year
I’m just trying to forget her
I’m trapped in the lost year
I’m just trying to forget her
Before I go insane..

You promised me forever with you
Then you turned around and made me blue
And now I can see right through
The man I thought you were wasn’t true
The day we finally said I do
You really made my think that I loved you
On your hand one day I saw, so fine
A shiny new band that wasn’t mine
Ghost is still wearing your hat on his head
Ghost is still bearing that ring painted red
And no matter how far it runs away
There’s still a ghost on that train
You snuck away in the middle of the night
Leaving me without one goodbye
I’d like you to know I didn’t cry
‘Cause all you ever told me were lies
That train you hopped on had something wrong
I knew it wouldn’t take it very long
For my loosened bolts to come undone
and catch Steering you liar off the tracks
Ghost is still wearing your hat on his head
Ghost is still bearing that ring painted red
And no matter how far it runs away
There’s still a ghost on that train
As that lonesome locomotive began to fall
I didn’t regret it at all
I believed it was written in the stars
Your actions shouldn’t get you very far
That train it never really stopped
It’s like you refused to get off
Your soul was stuck to your sin
You never guessed the danger you’d be in
Ghost is still wearing your hat on his head
Ghost is still bearing that ring painted red
And no matter how far it runs away
There’s still a ghost on that train..

Off the Rails (Live)

I’m on the right track
To going off the rails
It seems like everything I do is sure to fail
So I’m dusting off my back
To maybe get my life on track
On the right track, to going off the rails
Well the factory it’s a-wearing out my hands
Don’t make a lot but I’m doing the best I can
So I’m a-gonna roll up my sleeves
Maybe make enough to leave
Well the factory it’s a-wearing out my hands
Well this bed I lay in’s only built for one
And I sit here and I think of what I’ve done
Well I haven’t done a lot
But I’ sure as hell gave it a shot
Well this bed I lay in’s only built for one
I’m on the right track
To going off the rails
It seems like everything I do is sure to fail
So I’m dusting off my back
To maybe get my life on track
On the right track, to going off the rails
Well the ups and downs don’t mean a lot to me
Cause I’ve been so low that I can barely breathe
And there’s nothing they could say
That’ll make me want to stay
Well the ups and downs don’t mean a lot to me
Well life is gone as soon as it ignites
And this lack of pay, it makes us so uptight
But the Taxman I don’t mind
if the Reaper's short behind
Well life is gone as soon as it ignites
I’m on the right track
To going off the rails
It seems like everything I do is sure to fail
So I’m dusting off my back
To maybe get my life on track
On the right track, to going off the rails
I’m on the right track, to going off the rails
I’m on the right track, to going off the rails

My mind faded into blackness
For just a moment I was gone
When I awoke from my traveler’s sleep
I knew there’s something going on
The room was steel with no windows
As I emerged from a trance
My legs were weak my mind was empty
And my gait a drunken dance
My mind drifts like the ocean
And I start thinking about my love
I feel like I said goodbye yesterday
But yesterday was in another life
I can’t remember what I told her
I can’t remember what I said
And so i thought about reality
To get her thought out of my head
I left it all behind
Something I’ll never find
Now that life’s a one way track
I’ll be never coming back
The endless stars beyond the windows
A void that seems to pull you in
The endless road of possibilities
How could anyone begin again
Because I’d take that chance
I’d throw my life on the line
Without knowing where I’m going
Without knowing what I’ll find
I left it all behind
Something I’ll never find
Now that life’s a one way track
I’ll be never coming back
I made my way to the cockpit
So many noises flashing lights
The powers is on reserve, please return back to earth
And I know the voice was right
And so I looked over the records
To see just how far I’ve flown
and I got knocked off course 20 years ago
And I ain’t ever coming home
I left it all behind
Something I’ll never find
Yeah, I left it all behind
Something I’ll never find
Now that life’s a one way track
I’ll be never coming back

Never Really Gone (Live)

Staring through the shadows of myself I left here
I see the same old day that took so many of my years
A red sun burns through the eastern sky
As the nightbirds cry in the morning light
I’m going but I’m never really gone
Trying to find something I had all along
I lost my beliefs but I found some to doubt
I found a man they said knew what life’s all about
His head stole his heart and he lived in a lie
Me I just follow what I feel inside
I’m going but I’m never really gone
Trying to find something I had all along
Starlight shines
Upon the broken doorway
All my dead dreams live as ghosts
Of lifetimes I’ve betrayed
Now I’m lost to the world but I don’t really care
I know I belong I just don’t know where
I’ll spend my life searching and at least I’m sure
Well if I die first I had something to live for
I’m going but I’m never really gone
Trying to find something I had all along
I’m going but I’m never really gone
Trying to find something I had all along
Going but I’m never really gone..

Well my friends yeah they warned me ‘bout this growing complication
And your tendencies that lean towards all this changing rearranging
I said I was ready really could it really be that bad
But I didn't understand the consequences
Your timing was the worst of it to add to all my stress
Can't you realize that I'm just trying to get some rest
If it's time for moving on can't you wait a little bit
Cause my grip is slipping from the cliff I'm hanging on
Darlin’, please don't leave me now
Darlin’, please don't leave me now
Darlin’, please don't leave me now
Wait until the sun comes out
Well I'm hoping you'll remember me and all the things we've done
The places that we conquered and the battles that we won
And when you're walking by your mirror you don't stop to say hello
Cause I've always told you not to talk to strangers
Darlin’, please don't leave me now
Darlin’, please don't leave me now
Darlin’, please don't leave me now
Wait until the sun comes out
Well the cars roll by the 49, out the windshield
Tells me it's a busy day and how I'm supposed to feel
About the changing times as the road goes ever on
And I'm just trying to get back up on to my feet again
So thank you for your little tap that pushed me off the edge
As if I wasn't dealing with the thoughts running through my head
Yeah, you that knew I was vulnerable, my shield was on the ground
But you took my heart and broke it open anyways
Darlin’, please don't leave me now
Darlin’, please don't leave me now
Darlin’, please don't leave me now
Wait until the sun comes out
Darlin’, please don't leave me now
Darlin’, please don't leave me now
Darlin’, please don't leave me now
Wait until the sun comes out
Darlin’, please don't leave me now
Darlin’, please don't leave me now
Darlin’, please don't leave me now
Wait until the sun comes out

The Bend (Live)

Well I'm waiting on the first snow
For winter’s coming back
The page I'll clear in the coming year
As I approach the railroad tracks
Well I stood on by for too long
Until it tore me down
And the pain I felt was tenfold
When you threw me to the ground
Now I board the train in Houston
coming up to Maine
Anywhere that’s far from where you caused me all this pain
And as the train is rolling ‘round the bend
I can see the sun come out again
Well I can breath in clearly now
And take in all the breeze
The fog that covered up this town
Has fallen to its knees
And as I think and ponder of the
things that you have done
It gives me all the reason
To give up this life and run
Now I board the train in Camden
And I’m a-going to Kentucky
Running from the law out here, I guess I’m pretty lucky
And as the train is rolling round the bend
I can see the sun come out again
I was sleeping with the only leisure time I had to spend
And they caught up to me and told me that my journey had to end
Well but the Ohio was flowing right behind my feet
And I jumped right in to save myself from where I had to be
Now I’m flowing down the Ohio with a sheriff on my back
And I’m hopping on the next train that’s a-riding along the track
And as my body’s flowing round the bend
I can see the sun, oh
I can see the sun come out again
See the sun come out again
