  1. 1Be 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

    Chorus

  2. 2Free

    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

    Chorus

    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 it means to be in love

  3. 3I 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

    Chorus

    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

  4. 4Static

    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

  5. 5Soul 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 yeah, yeah, yeah
    Put your soul records on, come on and groove now, baby
    Yeah, yeah, yeah
    Put your soul records on
    I said yeah, yeah, yeah
    Put your soul records on

  6. 6Denied

    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

  7. 7Press 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
    But I 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

  8. 8In 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
    Wish that they'd invent a way to add more hours into a day
    I know we're not connecting like we should
    And if I could change it, boy, you know that I would

    Chorus

    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 connecting like we should
    And if I could change it, boy, you know that I would

  9. 9Don'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, your 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
    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

    Chorus

  10. 10Choices

    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

    Chorus

  11. 11Soul 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

    Chorus

    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

    Chorus

  12. 12In 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
    Your story is told, and at an end, yeah

    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

    Chorus
