    "Half the people can be part right all of the time, an'
    Some of the people can be all right part of the time,
    But all the people can't be all right all of the time.
    I think Abraham Lincoln said that."

Stealing Time 02:36
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes I steal your words, Sometimes I steal your chords Things I say and play they may cause wars Who's to blame? I don't know what worse. Stealing time gets you nowhere Cause in your mind you think they don't care But what you'll find is it's no fair Feeling fine's why you go scared Stealing time, don't laugh and lie to me. Real unkind, half my anxiety, Sorry to be blind, but why are we? I love your mind. Why can't the liar leave? Don't play games saying whose to blame Makes me plainly scared to use your name So I'll say it how I really feel Good artists imitate and great artists steal. We're stealing time On someone else's dime We're stealing time Why's it such a crime We're stealing time.

She's got the world on a string She knows exactly what it'll bring Gonna take away everything Cause she knows how to make you sing When you're stuck out on a string Gotta cut out everything That don't bring balance to everything. They've got the world on a string They knows exactly what it'll bring They gonna take away everything Cause they knows how to make you sing But I've got the world on a string I knows exactly what it'll bring Gonna take away everything Cause I know how to make you sing

What Do You Mean? 03:25
lyrics
buy track
I saw the light there in your eyes My only hope was you could sympathize Now I see this light everywhere But I'm still hooked on your stare Can't you see what you done to me I can feel you like a cool breeze Cause with this distance I'm always alone Makes me pack my bags and want to go home Let me steal some of your fire Tell me my love is not a liar Show me sights unseen She said "what do you mean?" She said "what do you mean?" I thought this little light was mine But it's just a matter of time I asked why'd the light go so fast Don't you know they always in the past She said "what do you mean?" She said "what do you mean?
