We'll Be Ok : Words & Music by: Don Mercer The days are long but you're gonna make it Just like every other time that you thought you might get knocked out but you just don't quit We can always find a light in desolation Pick up where we left off Continue the conversation If you think something's in your way Well get around it It ain't real then Come on home Sure it's fun to be away Someday dreams can all be real Somehow we'll get enough And times will be tough But I know we'll be ok The night are long but they are moon lit The stars are there for wishing If you see one shootin' make sure you do it We need to dark to know the light is worth the chasing We choose every step we take to everything that we are facing If you think something's in your way Well get around it It ain't real then Come on home Sure it's fun to be away Someday dreams can all be real Somehow we'll get enough And times will be tough But I know we'll be ok And it's simple, really simple The things that bring us down We'll leave behind Come on home Sure it's fun to be away Someday dreams can all be real Somehow we'll get enough And times will be tough But I know we'll be ok

Alone (feat. Sherofi Guess) 02:34

Alone : Words & Music by: Don Mercer & Sherofi Guess In my coldest moment Maybe I could have been A good deal little more clever then I'd ever been Time it felt like an eternity Just a single day in reality I was picking up the pieces of my dignity And wishing I was alone All alone No way, No how Never So embarrassed my feelings were disconnected Time it felt like an eternity Just a single day in reality I was picking up the pieces of my dignity And wishing I was alone All alone Time it felt like an eternity Just a single day in reality I was picking up the pieces of my dignity And wishing I was alone All alone

Tired Eyes (feat. Mark Magram) 03:15
lyrics

Well there's a secret And you can see it Through a crack in the door It's waiting quiet and growing stronger Until you can't ignore Well we could rage about it We could, we could shout it out But at the end of the day we got to figure it out Now they're kicking down the doors Hell this is our summer We've been, we been waiting all along here for relief Can't image how their hate has turned into belief 'Cause there are better ways Better ways And if you defend two side of this What can we expect from you next? Tired Eyes : Words & Music by Don Mercer & Mark Magram Well there's a secret And you can see it Through a crack in the door Been waiting quiet and growing stronger Until you can't ignore Well we could rage about it We could, we could shout it out But at the end of the day we got to figure it out Now they're kicking down the doors Hell this is our summer We've been, we been waiting all along here for relief Can't image how their hate has turned into belief 'Cause there are better ways Better ways Our tired eyes could use a break Our tired eyes could use a break ... today

Be Here Again : Words & Music by Don Mercer Yeah this times for us But we ain't using it right We ain't even seeing straight tonight Yeah tonight's for us We just can't know when We might ever be here again Well I don't think there's answers at this table I don't think we're getting no where at all We all know, yeah we all know, we all know for sure We ain't getting nowhere any more Yeah this times for us But we ain't using it right We ain't even seeing straight tonight Yeah tonight's for us We just can't know when We might ever be here again We might never get another chance We might never get another chance We might never get another chance So if you don't want to try man Then I don't want to know Yeah this times for us But we ain't using it right We ain't even seeing straight tonight Yeah tonight's for us We just can't know when We might ever be here again

A New Photograph : Words & Music by Don Mercer We used to have it all Everything that we'd need when we were together But nothing good lasts forever Maybe someday we'll be Turning the right key at home They think we don't know But we don't reveal They think lots of things And maybe we'll never see Where we both should be It's been ages, for real And every night a new photograph So I can see how they're changing Babe can ya tell me? Will it always be this way? Babe can ya tell me? Babe can ya tell me tonight? They think we don't know But we don't reveal They think lots of things And maybe we'll never see Where we both should be It's been ages, for real And every night a new photograph So I can see how they're changing Babe can ya tell me? Will it always be this way? Babe can ya tell me? Babe can ya tell me tonight? Now every night a new photograph So I can see how they're changing Babe can ya tell me? Will it always be this way? Babe can ya tell me? Babe can ya tell me tonight?

Remember How That Feels : Words & Music by Don Mercer & Mark Magram We can change the way we look at life Tilt our head and squint our eyes Changing gears don't slow us down It's gonna make us realize The pace that we've been living at Gonna grind us into the ground And that if we don't shift down It could soon lead to our demise So roll down the window Drive with one hand on the wheel Let the other one fly and Remember how that feels Now I'm staring down the hood of the car like the barrel of a gun Feel the tires on the asphalt Man hear the engine hum Grip the leather on the wheel With the top down feel the sun We're a thousand miles from trouble Had a thousand miles of fun Don't need nowhere to go Just chased the horizon Playing music loud drown police sirens With the open road ahead All cylinders firing We're a thousand miles from trouble Had a thousand miles of fun So roll down the window Drive with one hand on the wheel Let the other one fly and Remember how that feels Now I'm staring down the hood of the car like the barrel of a gun Feel the tires on the asphalt Man yeah hear the engine hum Grip the leather on the wheel With the top down feel the sun We're a thousand miles from trouble Had a thousand miles of fun

Feels Like It Should : Words & Music by Don Mercer & Heather Miller Drink the water Make the bed Eat vegetables instead Of the stuff that comes in a box Breathe deep Go outside More do Less try This the stuff that dreams are made of This prescription Is a description Of simple & good Simple doesn't always come easy Even if it feels like it should Simple doesn't always come easy Even if it feels like it should Even if it feels like it should Say hello To a friend Talk to the neighbors Be kind to strangers Speak the truth Stand tall See beauty in it all This the stuff that dreams are made of This prescription Is a description Of simple & good Simple doesn't always come easy Even if it feels like it should Simple doesn't always come easy Even if it feels like it should Even if it feels like it should

Walk Away (feat. Marshall Sanchez) 03:17
lyrics

Walk Away : Words & Music by Don Mercer & Marshall Sanchez I flip through yellowed pages of newspapers past The crackling edges really bring me back To a time where I felt normal To a time I wasn't sad These days it feels like I am always burning The crackling now is more like flames Radiant waves of anger I know I'm forever changed And I don't want this world anymore And I don't see a reason to stay So I, I think I'll walk away Yeah I, think I'll walk away I'll throw out the papers, and my gadgets, smash them all Imprisoning myself, home is just a jail of walls Won't tell them that I'm leaving Tornado twisting in my head I never knew before how blue the sky could be At night enveloped by the stars they all surround me I would have thought I would sleep my days away I never felt more awake And if they ever find me I will say that I don't care About your opinion of my when and where's 'Cause we only get just one chance at life And I'm finally I'm alive And I didn't want this world anymore And I couldn't see a reason to stay Yeah I, I had to walk away Yeah I, I had to walk away

I Want You to Stay 02:32
lyrics

The theater's dark now Any minute well the usher's gonna send us out We'll bust through the doors and we'll get hit by rain We'll take all our chances Yeah we'll take our time An' we can get through anything in our way An' we say let's turn out the lights and try to feel the way And when the morning comes I'll ask you to stay Well it's been four years I never wanted any thing I Want You to Stay : Words & Music by Don Mercer But since you come here Anna I ain't been the same Well I'd watched the TV And listened to the radio But now I gotta tell you everything 'cause I want you to know Let's get out of this town and drive far away And when the morning comes I'll ask you to stay And now our life might work out There's just no, there's just no way to tell Yeah we could get a whole new place Let time erase what we don't want to remember Let's get out of this town and drive far away And when the morning comes I'll ask you to stay
