Try something new, give your head a break And learn to love the ones who give your head a shake Give it one more try, over the edge you just might find The first shot is not the one you save Closed fists, eyes red, you tried to hold it back Those words you said, keep them in the past You’ll be miles away from the man you were that day Only time will heal the broken dam that gave You can’t think straight if you don’t walk away Take time to find the words to say You’ll look back a little older And see no one should give cold shoulders Cold shoulders Cold shoulders Cold shoulders Deep breath, long walk The cool wind on your face Short steps, good talks, To keep your mind at bay Every once in awhile a man can lose his place But he don’t look back cause time don’t turn that way You can’t think straight if you don’t walk away Take time to find the words to say You’ll look back a little older And see no one should give cold shoulders Cold shoulders Cold shoulders Cold shoulders You can’t think straight if you don’t walk away Take time to find the words to say You’ll look back a little older And see no one should give cold shoulders Cold shoulders Cold shoulders Cold shoulders

Why Can't I? 03:09
Time seems to be against me The days keep flying by Romance running on empty The lovers well's running dry Got a lot of love to give I'm a sensitive guy If everyone finds love Why can't I Maybe I'm too broken Maybe I'm too shy If everyone finds love Why can't I Maybe I'm too picky Are my hopes too high If everyone finds love Why can't I My heart's been rusted Been left out in the rain I guess it's over-trusted It's seized up from the pain I'm willing to work it out I'm a hard working guy If everyone finds love Why can't I Maybe I'm too broken Maybe I'm too shy If everyone finds love Why can't I Maybe I'm too picky Are my hopes too high If everyone finds love Why can't I All that I have is all that I could give To find someone to share a lifetime with I'm caring and I'm loyal Stay by your side If everyone finds love Why can't I

Foolish Love 03:58
Have you ever walked with the sun in your eyes? It’s the hardest part of the ride It’s the world tryna keep you blind Have you ever walked with a weight on your back? It’s the washed up, bitter mind Tryna pull you off the track Don’t give in Has anyone closed you inside of a box? Tried to keep you on the beaten path Filled your bag with rocks? Has anyone told you enough is enough? To leave your dreams behind? You can’t win with only luck Don’t give in We’re just livin If you give up now you’ll never keep it together You’ll never find nothin you love better Hear that sound it’s gonna hold you together Our fire’s gonna burn forever We’ve all got a story to tell and a light that needs to be seen Name one more thing you could love so foolishly Has anyone left you alone in the dark? You ever found this life too hard? Been kicked down or town apart? Has anyone taken away your spark? Anyone tossed you, turned you around? Taken it way too far? Don’t give in We’re just livin

Young 03:12
We're overprotective We don't see her perspective Got an iron fist that we raise at any chance We can't trust her Clouds of thunder Being sixteen is always so unfair Why the hell can't we just take her there She's got a lot to say and we just don't care One of these days she's gonna grow up now Well she's still young she's got a lot to learn Someday soon she's gonna take these words and thank us Right now she'll hold it against us I know even if she don't believe That mom knows best one day she'll see She'll thank us Right now she'll hold it against us She's a kid with no room for fun Dog locked up with no place to run Prisoner stuck in her own small town We chained her legs just to keep her down Why the hell don't we trust boys to keep her safe We don't know what it's like to be young these days If he won't knock what does that say?

Sing It Out! 03:27
If you can’t see all the grief inside of me It’s cause I don’t need to speak it out I don't need to speak it out If you can’t read everything I’m feeling through my feet It’s cause I don’t need to speak it out I don't need to speak it out Though life’s a roller coaster we got mountains we’ll get over We'll speak for every war we’ve won Though we’re not superhuman we got faith and we’ll get through this Let me show you how it’s done We’ll sing it out, sing it loud March across the world our heads held high Sing it out, sing it proud Sing all of our words into the sky We all got sins, they’re part of the world we’re living in But there's no need to speak em out There's no need to speak em out I know you been beating up yourself for what you did There's no need to speak it out Got no need to speak it out I got my own solution, we don't need more air pollution Speak for every war we've won Won't fight the institution, I'll throw it all into my music Let me show you how it's done We’ll sing it out, sing it loud March across the world our heads held high Sing it out, sing it proud We'll sing all of our words into the sky
