Sweet talker, sugar walker, dancing on Friday night Broken arrow, fallen sparrow, blinded by her hindsight But she keeps on moving on Ain't got no place called home All the romantics they're gone Juliet Juliet move on Drugstore, troubadour, round and round day by day Money spent, pocket lint won't take all the pain away But he keeps on moving on Devil's got his soul on loan But there's nothing set in stone Romeo Romeo move on Everybody knows tomorrow's another day

ooh if you lied i wouldn't listen but wont you say the words you said once again and if you cried the world would glisten so wont you open up your heart to a friend I'm a friend Be a friend don't you know its full of choices don't listen to the voices the world will not rejoice if it ends don't you know its full of choices don't listen to the voices the world will not rejoice if it ends ooh comes a time just to trust in the people and the places you been so don't you try to turn it back in you need to open up your heart to a friend dont you know its full of choices dont listen to the voices the world will not rejoice if it ends dont you know its full of choices dont listen to the voices the world will not rejoice if it ends

We sure could use A little love right now So much anger and mistrust Until mothers no longer have to explain to their sons How to keep their protectors from pulling out their guns We sure could use Some more faith in one another So many ties turn to dust Until fathers no longer turn away their child For being born different their truth unreconciled You are all welcome here My doors always open Drop your worries and your fear You're all welcome here We sure could use some understanding today Lay down your swords let them rust Until we no longer fear what we don't understand Until we can just hold each other's hands Until our love spreads across the land Until we find the strength to take a stand You are all welcome here My doors always open Drop your worries and your fear You're all welcome here

Always looking forward Never looking back Prepped himself for greatness, primed for the attack Maybe it’s the water, maybe it’s the wine Reaching out for greatness, where to draw the line? Wonderboy, always pushing Wonderboy, take it slow Wonderboy, wonder where you’ll go? Out to set the world on fire, one blaze at a time Out for blood and roses, changes on a dime Maybe it’s the tailored suits, maybe the cologne Reaching out for victory, all your time alone

LAY VERSE Pack it in, pack it up Get on the train, get on the bus The plane is leaving, hurry up Another click, another ticket And we’re out of here so quick It never feels like it’s enough PRE We can’t slow down, even for a minute Cuz the world is spinning We don’t wanna miss it CHORUS Can’t we just lay still for a while Maybe not go so fast Just let it all roll past While we lay holding your hand Nothing else planned Can’t we just stay Can’t we just LAY VERSE I wanna stop, I always say I’m tired living from suitcase But then I’m off to the next place It will be great, it will be pretty Beside the sea, or an ancient city But I get so tired of that race PRE CHORUS BRIDGE Here now For once not chasing the clouds Can’t we just lay Here now Breathe in, breathe out CHORUS

v1: When you gonna wake up? Start checking things off your list 'Cause you can't make up Can't make up all the things you might have missed pre: When it's all been said and done You're the only one who can live your life ch: What's it all for Another adventure, another cup of coffee, another war What's it all for Keep looking straight ahead, you'll do more if you don't keep score What's it all for Another love, another loss, would you ask for more v2: You talk about the passion All the talk in the world won't make it work If you're ready for action You don't have to wait 'til someone says that it's your turn pre: When it's all been said and done You're the only one who can live your life ch: What's it all for Another adventure, another cup of coffee, another war What's it all for Keep looking straight ahead, you'll do more if you don't keep score What's it all for Another love, another loss, could you ask for more ch: What's it all for You make the world a better place than it was the day before What's it all for Don't turn your back on love, keep an open door What's it all for Sometimes the bull, sometimes the cape, sometimes the matador

Something that I don't understand You can calm me with the touch of your hand Replacing with joy all the things that made me sad Giving me the love that I thought I'd never have You're in my soul it's unmovable The love that we have is unusual Feelings are indisputable You're crazy beautiful Split myself in two so that I can be with you I never knew it was what I desire Take me back home I don't ever want to be alone Just want to be warmed by your fire You're in my soul and it's unmovable The love that we have is unusual Feelings are indisputable You're crazy beautiful You made your way into my soul I can't understand it's beyond my control The wall has been broken through I don't want anyone but you You're in my soul and it's unmovable The love that we have is unusual The force inside irremovable You're crazy beautiful

I’m sorry father I know what I have done With great momentum moving forward from the ones I loved It’s not that I am unafraid or unconcerned I guess that I have chosen my Life in reverse Still need to find where I belong I just keep moving on My clothes seem plain my eyes are dry My mind is puzzle pieces broken down from deep inside With no blind spot with no end in sight With great momentum moving forward from the ones I loved I’m getting older everyday moving farther away

Like a songbird in captivity Didn’t know if I’d ever feel free to sing the songs I had in me My desperate melodies So I looked for a way out of that place And the girl I knew I could find a Trace of to help her see a life worth fighting for Cause on the other side of doubt there is just so much more Cause one day one day will be all that you have and will you look back and say I risked it all at 23 Took a chance left a job that meant nothing to me Dove right in to the water deep With a song in my heart let my passion lead The way wasn’t clear it was never easy Lord knows nothing in this world comes free But I fought like hell and I earned every scar along the way And I loved the life out of every single blessed day That’s what I’ll look back and say Child of the new millennium I see you under their thumbs Not knowing which way to run in Believe me your time is comin’ Fall on your face and get back up again Do whatever it’s gonna take to Fan the fire inside that makes you Burn the brightest that you can One day one day will be all that you have and will you look back and say I risked it all at 23 Took a chance left a job that meant nothing to me Dove right in to the water deep With a song in my heart let my passion lead The way wasn’t clear it was never easy Lord knows nothing in this world comes free But I fought like hell and I earned every scar along the way And I loved the life out of every single blessed day That’s what I’ll look back and say All you have is time But time is all you have to lose You gonna make it worth you while Or are you gonna have to choose To say I risked it all at 23 Took a chance left a job that meant nothing to me Dove right in to the water deep With a song in my heart let my passion lead The way wasn’t clear it was never easy Lord knows nothing in this world comes free But I fought like hell and I earned every scar along the way And I loved the life out of every single blessed day That’s what I’ll look back and say

Now they're gone without a trace scales lifted and replaced by some script upon a wall bolded gold and uppercase they don't offer any proof no universal truth they don't tell me where I'm going they're just begging me to move but all the things that they say get in the way and I'm so tired of their talking oh and I know that the first step is the worst step and anyway who said anything about walking no, I wanna fly, I wanna fly I wanna trade in all this gravity for the freedom of a blue sky I wanna fly, I wanna fly so that someday when I'm old and gray I can look back at my life and know that I tried now I've been standing in this light waiting for my time to shine and now I can't help but feeling that I'm running out of time while I'm staring at the rain pouring down the window pane as if I need another excuse to stay inside and all the things that they say get in the way and I'm so tired of their talking oh and I know that the first step is the worst step and anyway who said anything about walking no, I wanna fly, I wanna fly I wanna trade in all this gravity for the freedom of a blue sky I wanna fly, I wanna fly so that someday when I'm old and gray I can look back at my life and know that I tried and the trick is to hold on and let go at the same time redefine, redesign, realign I wanna pull the stick back cause you know that every rise comes with the fall every fall with the rise every gift with the curse, every curse with the gift don't be surprised when the winds shift or when the winds shift back and all the things that they say get in the way and I'm so tired of their talking oh and I know that the first step is the worst step and anyway who said anything about walking no, I wanna fly, I wanna fly I wanna trade in all this gravity for the freedom of a blue sky I wanna fly, I wanna fly so that someday when I'm old and gray I can look back at my life and know that I tried at least I tried I know that I tried at least I tried I know that I tried at least I tried to fly

Move Ahead I wanna strum my guitar wildly unmiked  in the middle of the band in the middle of the night And forget myself No destination no finale and no radio station  I will drop a marker and paint it red Into the ground and move ahead  I wanna binge watch you and your painted smile at the palace of lights  at the miracle mile and toss away those old town blues Listening to the voices from the inner groove I will drop a marker and paint it red Into the ground and move ahead Ready Steady Go And we’ll have fun fun fun til my daddy takes the T Bird away

Setting out In the morning On different legs Having slept Through the winter Quiet clouds Moving slowly Through a gossamer sky Molted skin At your feet You are born And you are born And you are born And born again And again You are torn From the past Scattered like Those precious ashes To the wind Greyhound glides Down the freeway You’re California bound No one left To hold you back Anymore See your face In the window With that Mona Lisa smile Bittersweet Taste of freedom On your tongue Chorus
14.
Some days like today just last forever and some days just go by way too fast all the things that scared you you told yourself you can’t do and things you thought would never come to pass now you act surprised i can see it in your eyes you’re getting through just give it one more try stop telling yourself lies we all just do the best that we can do move on

about

The first assignment for the round comes from Jerry:

"In honor of those jumping back into the mm3am pool, the song should have mention of some sort of forward motion. Bonus points if the song SOUNDS like forward motion. More bonus points if it’s better than REO’s ‘Keep Pushin’.”
