1 bag, 1 piece of carry on 6 strings for a fee Grown 33, my bones still hold all my property My home is where my feet are at My drinks for free, 1 square yard and my instrument, that's all I need Here I am, Superman The sky's my friend It's in my hands, I'm the sovereign In my kingdom, I call nomansland Your smiling eyes leave a mark on my restless mind My heart grows heavier each place I leave behind But I see the world in colors from up high While my life is built around black and white And here I am, Superman The sky's my friend It's in my hands, I'm the sovereign in my kingdom as long as I will play the strings on demand One day I'll settle down, and claim some land To built my residence, that I'll defend But I hope to find the flower, that brings me home Till then I'll gain my strength in moving on Caus here I am, Superman The sky's my friend It's in my hands, I'm the sovereign In my kingdom, I call nomansland

I was born a good man And I was raised well by my dad But everytime he went away My brother punched me in the head After 20 years I quit to do What my daddy said And I was born again Born again bad All through the 7th grade I was the best kid in class While all the girls were screwed up I still didn't stand out from the grass It took six more years to quit to do What my teachers said I was born again Born again bad Cause the bad always have, What the good guys 'll never get Ain't it funny, they do Just because cause they're bad I took a stand and grew up to be the man who's in demand I was born again bad At first it wasn't easy to break somebody's bones When I felt some of his assets, should have been my own but practice soon makes perfect, lessons came to show Yeah I was born again bad I got rid of every single bit of empathy I had I became worse than the most outrageous bloke I ever met Though my dad would not suspect, I had the best times ever had Yeah I felt born again, born again bad Cause the bad always have, What the good guys 'll never have Ain't it funny, they do Just because they're bad I took a stand I grew up to be the man, who's in demand I was born again bad Still now and then I start to feel guilty for my acts When I think about my victims My sense of justice makes me sad But then I point to history and I just blame my dad Cause he taught me too much honesty He should've raised me bad Cause the bad always have, What the good guys 'll never have Ain't it funny, they do Just because cause they're bad I took a stand I grew up to be the man, who's in demand I was born again bad

I listen to the sweet and soft trembling of your voice You're telling me you’re leaving. You seem to have no other choice So you say goodbye This time you’re sure I can see it in your eyes I won’t ask you why I'll promise not to scream again And I will try not to cry But I’ll pack my things and I’ll be on my way Gonna start all over from today I’ll keep your picture and the rest I’ll throw away And then I hope the pain will fade someday, the pain will fade someday.. Everytime you said you loved me you made me believe That you and me were special, that you were meant for me. But I guess that love can fade. Or you might not meant things you say I’m still tryin’ to make it work You send me away I’ll pack my things and I’ll be on my way Gonna start all over from today I’ll keep your picture and the rest I’ll throw away And then I hope the pain will fade someday, the pain will fade someday.. I’m just gonna hit the road and leave you alone I won’t bother you anymore, cause you’ve made up your mind And though the tears are in your eyes We still say goodbye I hope you’ll chase your dreams Even though they’re not with me I hope you’ve made the right decision By telling me to leave Someday..... I'll just be some old forgotten picture in your diary I’ll pack my things and I’ll be on my way Gonna start all over from today I’ll keep your picture and the rest I’ll throw away And then I hope the pain will fade someday, the pain will fade someday..

Hot Sand 03:08
Hot sand under my feet Tells me I should keep on moving This life is getting much too sweet I might get afraid of losing Try to find some peace of mind In the shadow of that tree Cuz it won’t take too much time Before you’ll be all over me This love is getting out of hand This love was meant to end Our names are written in the sand But I know they will be washed out by the sea Come take my hand Let’s go out to the beach At night the moon will set our spirits free We'll take this moment, before the sun tells me to leave I’ll tell you that I'll miss you, and I hope it won't take long before you're over me This love is getting out of hand This love was meant to end Our names written in the sand But I know they will be washed out by the sea I'll pray that you'll soon forget bout me I won't stay, cause my mind just won't let me One more day, before I'm gonna leave I'll be gone and I'll just keep your memories Too many games, so many places Too many sweet lies, from too pretty faces Too many people, chasing butterflies his love is getting out of hand This love was meant to end Our names written in the sand But I know they will be washed out by the sea I'll pray that you'll soon forget bout me I won't stay, cause my mind just won't let me One more day, before I'm gonna leave I'll be gone and I'll just keep your memories

Another night Bus stop Gift shop Whereever I see you I try to call But drop the ball Before you Look my way Right spot But too hot I guess I've gotta Plan on what to say And try again another day Every headline or streetsign buzzes your name Been a long time that my tongue has left me lame The musics ringing I should be singing But the words don't come out right I'm just gonna dream of you another night Wishcard Headstart Maybe this will open up The frozen lakes That define your landscape Divine She's one of a kind Can I find the way to make her mine Gotta catch her eye before she passes by Every headline or streetsign buzzes your name Been a long time that my tongue has left me lame The musics ringing I should be singing But the words don't come out right I'm just gonna dream of you another night I close my eyes I envision you and I See us swimming through the tide in the middle of the night Imagine your lips how they'll be kissing How you could be my mrs so please let me take you for a ride Give me a line I'll be singing it right You'll be smiling, every time you'll be passing me by Show me your mind and I will show you that I could be the one to stay with you the rest of your life Every headline or streetsign buzzes your name Been a long time that my tongue has left me lame The musics ringing I should be singing But the words don't come out right I'm just gonna dream of you another night

Day by day 02:47
It would be nice if I could say I love you Till the end of time But too many times, I've said goodbye So if I could have my way I wouldn't sing that I would love you always But to every day I feel your embrace Cause words they fade Chains can break Why don't we take it day by day? Words they fade Chains can break Why don't we take it day by day Lately I have found All these promises they just bring me down Tell me why should I look ahead in time When the truth is here and here is now Cause words they fade Chains can break Why don't we take it day by day? Words they fade Chains can break Why don't we take it day by day Promise me don't give your word until your sure I'll get by, I'll be fine I don't need more Cause words they fade Chains can break Why don't we take it day by day? Words the fade Chains can break Why don't we take it day by day

Another breakup song This time the lyrics won't take long Or should I borrow some words from a previous one? This time I don't have to move out No furniture to fuss about I kept my own place, just in case Didn't wanna make the same mistake So now I've got some time to spend I could spend it with some friends Or stay alone, rest my head As long as I know in the end, I'll.. Fall in love again I'll fall in love again Could I fall in love again And could the next time maybe be without and end So now I'm back on the street I'm free to go, and free to meet Or spend a little bit of time on me I've been here many times before Shouldn't worry bout it anymore But everytime I close that door The less that I am sure, I'll Fall in love again I'll fall in love again Could I fall in love again And could the next time maybe be without and end Shattered dreams float by in circles My innocence drifts away Will get better at this game I wonder will it ever change Could I fall in love again Fall in love again Could I fall in love again And could the next time maybe be without and end

Your son 02:53
Hey mom, I'm home I won't stay long You know I'm always on the run Not much to say today Time has driven me away from home But I still love you mum And all I want to be now is your son Hey mom, it's good to see you Glad you're still so strong inspite of all the things that cannot be undone We didn't always get along, but I hope you can be proud of what I have become I won't tell you bout the bad things that I've done cause all I want to be now is your son There were the days I used to play here in the sun While you were watching over me Those days are gone Life is harder now, but I'm allright So don't worry bout me mum No time for worries, cause soon our time is gone I've got to go now mom I don't know for how long You wished that I dropped by some more But it's not like it's been before I see you standing in the door And as I have crossed the lawn I say thank you for the good things that you've done Cause all I want to be now is your son

With all your wishes I've tried to comply When you talked I've listened Stayed sober Did the dishes I've trained went to school I even finished Still I could do better in your eyes The grass looks greener on the other side And so do I, do I The grass looks greener on the other side And so do I, do I look the best when I'm just some other guy Walking the dog I came to talk to a lady from the other block She laughed We mingled She asked me if I'm single, well I had to reply The grass looks greener on the other side And so do I, do I The grass looks greener on the other side And so do I, do I look the best when I'm just some other guy I was a moist green meadow well it dried before your eyes still sheep walk by get fooled by a smile and cross the line Went for a stroll with my brother's bride And she sighed, she sighed Danced with Mrs Robins, and we spent the night She cried, she cried I must have done something right

Lesson 03:15
Probably I said something wrong Anyway you don’t talk to me anymore My ego has got once more too strong And now the thing has got too big to ignore I tried to convince you I was right and even though I still am didn’t mean to make this fight So I’m thinking bout just giving in and forget about my pride Cause I’d rather be wrong Than be right without you To break down this silence Anything I’d do I'm gonna take this next lesson in love I'll let it go, to get closer to you So this time I’ll listen while you speak To understand what you said, and maybe turn the other cheek And if I feel you do me wrong, I’ll apologize instead Cause probably in the damage done, I’m way far ahead Cause I’d rather be wrong Than be right without you To break down this silence Anything I’d do I'm gonna take this next lesson in love I'll let it go, to get closer to you So tell me what it is I’ve done Please tell me your rules And if I promise you to drop my guns Could we come to a truce But please lay down your guards For there’s nothing I can do If you don’t show me your cards Right now it’s up to you Cause I’d rather be wrong Than be right without you To break down this silence Anything I’d do I'm gonna take this next lesson in love I'll let it go, and leave it up to you

Everytime I leave you I miss you when you're gone I try to tell you what I'm feeling but The words are always wrong Though we might not belong I just keep holding on I just keep holding on I'm stuck on the run No matter how we try to speak The truth keeps dancing through The phrases that we breath Do you see the way I see Or is it only me Dream another dream It's getting harder to believe that we can be together in harmony Still I won't set you free Though we might not belong I just keep holding on I just keep holding on I just keep holding on I'm stuck on the run I'm stuck on the run I'm stuck on the run Stuck in circles Stuck inside your maze Will I be with you Everytime you leave me I miss you when you're gone I try to tell you what I'm feeling but The words are always wrong I'm stuck on the run I'm stuck on the run I'm stuck on the run Stuck in circles Stuck inside your maze Will I be with you Will I find your ways Or do I keep on running On and on just holding on just holding on If this is not meant to be Why do I still make my plea? I can't seem to live with you, but I can't seem to live with you If we keep running round in circles maybe we should both move

Ride home 02:55
Out on my own The road was clear but Just a bit too long I've passed the edge I've gone beyond still don't know what i want I need a ride, a ride ride home I need a ride, a ride back home Ignored the signs I jumped across To be free Now I'm just lost I tried to proof Broke the rules Now I know I was a fool I need a ride, a ride ride home I need a ride, a ride back home When I return I'll tell the world I've seen the light, how it burned I'll hang in tight I'll be strong But please don't make it last too long It's getting cold The thrill is gone Out here all alone Pick me up Keep me warm Take me in your arms I need a ride, a ride ride home I need a ride, a ride back home Out on my own The road was clear but just a bit too long
