Lyrics and lyrics and more lyrics

Some people have been asking me for lyrics of our more recent songs...songs that aren't on To Each His Own.  So here you go...I'll get Ryan to post his soon.


Somersaults

Who are you guy doing somersaults all up in my room, who the hell are you
It means nothing it's got to mean something oh what's the use, these excuses are your truth

Turns out you were looking for something, turns out you got a whole lot of nothing

No need for complaining I saw it was raining oh coming down, but these drops won't hit the ground
Making my way out it is beyond doubt I'll be just fine, I'll even sign it on a dotted line

Turns out you were looking for something, turns out you got a whole lot of nothing
Turns out you were looking for something, turns out you got a whole lot of nothing

When the doors are all closed, and it's six in the morning, leave a light on for me
When there's nothing to say, and the tides have all changed, leave a light on for me

Coming back as a matter of fact oh you do it well, everyone's got a story to tell
I can't believe it I should've seen it staring right at me, it's my turn to disagree

Turns out you were looking for something, turns out you got a whole lot of nothing
Turns out you were looking for something, turns out you got a whole lot of nothing

When the doors are all closed, and it's six in the morning, leave a light on for me
When there's nothing to say, and the tides have all changed, leave a light on for me

Who are you guy doing somersaults all up in my room, who the hell are you

Down the Drain

You can keep your culture, just keep it to yourself
But you're just as two faced, as two faced as everyone else
Fixing all their problems, neglecting the one's you have inside
Never wanna face it, time to hit the bottle and hide

Now watch it as it's going down, oh now don't you make a sound, feel the room spin round and round
Tell them your book is clean, don't you tell them anything, to make them all think differently

You can keep your culture, just keep it yourself
Living day by day, in the shadows of somebody else
Poor man on the corner, reach in your pocket for some change
Toss him just a nickel, and watch it fall down the drain

Now watch it as it's going down, oh now don't you make a sound, heads and tails go round and round
Tell them your intentions were clean, don't you tell them anything, to make them all think differently

You can keep your culture, just keep it to yourself
You can keep you culture, just keep it to yourself

Now watch it as it's going down, oh now don't you make a sound, feel the room spin round and round
Tell them your book is clean, don't you tell them anything, to make them all think differently
Now watch it as it's going down, oh now don't you make a sound, heads and tails go round and round
Tell them your intentions were clean, don't you tell them anything, to make them all think differently

Steady Hands

And the soft embrace of a new handshake, I like it too, steady hands

You know what the deal is, I can tell by the look in your eyes
The falling traps are gone no appealing, don't you act like you're so surprised

And you'll see the writing on the walls, have some kind words for you
Blank stare, standing tall, steady hands, a brief calmness ensues

Time to show you the picture, as the tears roll down your face
Pleaing and asking for forgiveness, hope this all puts you in your place

And you'll hear the the words from my mouth, have some kind words for you
Looking down, hunched over, shaky hands, it's all starting to show through


And the soft embrace of a new handshake, I like it too, steady hands

And you'll see the writing on the walls, have some kind words for you
Blank stare, standing tall, steady hands, a brief calmness ensues
And you'll hear the the words from my mouth, have some kind words for you
Looking down, hunched over, shaky hands, it's all starting to show through

That's all for now...hope you like them!
