1. CAN'T STOP THE PAIN

It's been a long time since I saw you
It's been so long since I touched your face
You know there's nothing I can do
That will help to get me through
'Cause I know you wont be there for me again, no, no

[Chorus:]
If I could dream about tomorrow
If I could dream the night away
You know there's nothing I could do
To get me over you

Can't stop the pain

You used to be there every morning
You had that smile upon your face
But now that smile is turned around
And my world is upside down
'Cause I know you won't be there for me again, no, no

[Chorus]

Can't stop the pain

I know I'll miss you
But you will never hurt again
I know you're happy
But now I feel such emptiness inside

[Chorus] (x2)

Can't stop the pain
Can't stop the pain
Can't stop the pain


2. ACID RAIN

We're clueless, and we got all the answers
We're brilliant, we got no cure for cancer
Don't stay out in the sun too long
Don't you dare eat meat, don't do nothing wrong
Did you see the news, can we breath today?
They say the rain is on the way

[Chorus:]
Yeah, it's going through my brain it's like acid rain
Yeah, we've got too much to learn
It's like I'm getting burned out now
It's running through my brain
These tears are acid rain

We're useless, we'll live to be a hundred
We're genius, you know our days are numbered
I laid out in the sun all day, ate a chili dog
Got it all the way, I didn't watch the news
Don't care what they say
They say more rain is on the way

[Chorus]

Bridge:
Save me... the sky is scaring me
Save me... I can hardly breathe

[Chorus]

Yeah it's going through my brain, it's like acid rain
Yeah, we've got too much to learn
It's like I'm getting burned
Hey, it's driving me insane, it's like acid rain
Yeah, we've got too much to learn
Like I'm getting burned out now
It's running through my brain
It's driving me insane
These tears are acid rain


3. BRINGING ME DOWN

Everything that I do just doesn't seem
Quite good enough for you
No matter how hard I try you still complain
You're never satisfied

And I don't know how I can put up with you
Do you realize that you criticize every single thing that I do

[Chorus:]
Well I'm just trying to do the best that I can
So why are you always bringing me down?
I make the best of every circumstance
so why are you always bringing me down?
Does it make you feel better?

Anytime that I want to do anything
You tell me it's not right
And it seems like every time, you talk to me
You're trying to start a fight

And I don't know how much more I can take of you
When you put down, and you turn around
Every single thing that I do

[Chorus]

You're so condescending, it's making me mad
You go out of your way just to make me look bad

And I don't know how I can put up with you
Do you realize that you criticize every single thing that I do
And I'm getting tired of your attitude

[Chorus]


4. DREAM

I bet I've seen that face a hundred times or more
Then you shed a tear
What do you want from me?
Is it something more than I can give?
Just let me know
Then you walk in my arms and say
I need you more today

[Chorus:]
Dream baby dream
Kiss me goodnight and I'll rock you to sleep
Dream baby dream.... just slippin' away

Sometimes I'm so afraid there's nothing I can do
You're always on my mind
You know my hands were tied, and you know how hard I tried
To never let you go
Then you walk in my arms and say goodbye

[Chorus]

Down on my knees I pray for you every day
I've been alone since you went away

[Chorus]


5. GET READY

I know the storm is coming there are clouds up ahead
You can't keep running you better face the clouds instead
When the storm winds blow don't you cover and hide
You've got to let go of the demons you're keeping inside
There's no shelter from your pain

[Chorus:]
So get ready for the rain
Get ready for the rain

Now you can't change the weather though
You've tried to for years
But the rain is coming and there's
No way to hold back the tears
Too late to say you're sorry you'll have to take the blame
But the water is rising and it won't wash your problems away
There's no shelter from your pain

[Chorus] (x2)


6. IF IT CHANGES

Somebody wake me, there's a stranger lying next to me
And what we did last night was it purely physical
Or did we have some kind of chemistry
Hold me, do I feel like your reality
Or are we dreaming and do you see me for my true personality

So come with me and we can find a way yeah
Has lady luck and circumstance
Brought us both here together today

[Chorus:]
And out of the blue, I've fallen for you
And I don't know what time or what day it is
If this is a dream, then just let me sleep
And don't wake me up if it changes

Well can you feel me? is this real or is it fantasy?
If this is make believe, then I don't want to leave
I could stay here for eternity
Tell me, does it feel like we have met before
Some kind of deja vu, do you feel it too?
Could my soul somehow connect to yours

So come with me and we can find a way yeah
Has lady luck and circumstance
Brought us both here together today

[Chorus] (x2)


7. THE DAY, THE WEEK AND THE WEATHER

It seems just like yesterday
When Julie showed up and took daddy away
The way that dress wore her, a fitting reminder... oh yeah!
That year everything felt so cold
Mom was so young, now she's feeling so old
No matter how she tries, she can't put it behind her

I went from 8 to 18, dad went from me to her

[Chorus:]
I remember the day and the week and the weather
The smile on your face as you walked away
I remember the part where he left us forever
At the time I thought that it was the end
Can you remember how you loved me then?

I can't stand this anymore
Haven't you changed since you walked out that door
I wonder how it'd be if you hadn't found her

I went from 8 to 18, dad went from me to her

[Chorus]

Let it go I will say no
I can't care anymore, I can't love anymore
I tried to hold onto something that I lost before

[Chorus]


8. THE NIGHTS WERE YOUNG

Can you remember from way back when
It was the summer that we became best friends
And we made a promise that nothing could tear us apart
Now we used to hang out behind the old motel
We'd throw apples at cars and run like hell
We might've had a few close calls, but we never got caught
But when the sun went down we didn't go home yet
We would lay on the grass and smoke cigarettes
And stare up at the sky and count up all the stars,
That's when

[Chorus:]
The nights were young and we thought
That they would last forever
But nothing ever does so we'll just have to remember
Though time slips by, the memories remain
I could never forget when the nights were young

Back then they said that we were way too young
But we were old enough to have some fun
And we'd laugh until it hurt and we were both in tears
Now we used to stake out the neighborhood liquor store
We couldn't go inside for a couple years more
So we'd send the older kids to sneak a couple of beers
We didn't have a care or a worry back then
We could count on each other through thick and thin
Nothing could come in between us we swore 'till the end,
That's when

[Chorus]

The nights were young and we thought
That they would last forever
But nothing ever does so we'll just have to remember
The nights were young and we swore we'd always be together
But we went our separate ways so we'll just have to remember
Though time slips by the memories remain
I could never forget when the nights were young


9. HAVE MERCY

Looking for direction, got nowhere to place my loyalties
I've stumbled and I've fallen,
My life is breaking me down like some disease
I'm lost in the darkness, can't find the light,
I can't see anymore
I'm crying, I'm waiting,
I'm asking is there something more?

Have mercy, have mercy, in the name of God have mercy
Please help me, please help me,
In the name of God have mercy

[Chorus:]
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know where I'm going to
I don't know, I don't know, forgive me I know not what I do

Looking for the answer,
I've been asking the question I'm on my knees
Show me, help me, in the name of God I'm begging please

Have mercy, have mercy, in the name of God have mercy
Please help me, please help me,
In the name of God have mercy

[Chorus] (x2)


10. I'D DO ANYTHING

Didn't know I could go the distance
I could've given up without a fight
But when I first saw you, from that moment
You changed my life
Didn't even know I had it in me
To care for somebody that much
And it scares me to think
How this could be dangerous

Now it's too late to turn back I've fallen for you
There's nothing I wouldn't do

[Chorus:]
I believe I could walk on your water
I would drown in your river of love
And I know I could walk through the fire
I would burn in the flames of your heart
If I get too close to you I might hurt myself
Like a moth that flies too close to the flame
I can't help it, 'cause for your love I'd do anything

I would walk for a million miles
Just to get one step closer to you
I'd give everything that I own
Just to spend time alone with you

Now it's too late to turn back I've fallen for you
There's nothing I wouldn't do

[Chorus]

For your love I'd do anything
I've waited a lifetime for someone like you
There's nothing I wouldn't do

[Chorus]


11. ARROW THROUGH MY HEART

There used to be a time when I would call and you'd be there
Now your leaving's killing me and the time we spent together
Why can't we tape the picture that is scattered on the floor
I guess there's just no love here anymore

[Chorus:]
I can't hide from my emotions
Stop old dreams and crush my fears and turn away forever
I'll get by without you now so leave me alone
You won't be there tomorrow
Your love is like an arrow through my heart

I tried everything I could to hold onto that life
But now I see I realized I wasn't always right
I'll take the good and leave
The bad and walk out of the door
I guess there's just no love here anymore

With all the tears I cried
I should have drowned out all the pain
I'll never go back, never cry, I've got too much to gain

[Chorus]


12. LIFE GOES ON

When I met a medicine man, he said, "Don't just lie in bed
Every cure for what you need is in your head!"
He said, "You don't need a compass or a map to find your way
Just don't give up and give it all you got,
Each and every day!"

[Chorus:]
You got to pick yourself up, 'cause life goes on
No matter where you end up, life goes on
You've just got to get up, 'cause life goes on
And don't you ever give up, 'cause life goes on....

Well it ain't some kind
Of secret or some special master plan
Just be yourself and do the best you can
And here's a little lesson to get you on your way
Just don't give up, give it all you got, each and every day

[Chorus] (x3)
