Watch Me Now

Give me a pencil, pad and a guitar

Chances are that I'll go far

You should have believed me

I'll do anything that you can do

Probably better than you do (it)

And you thought I couldn't

Watch Me Now

You show off

I won't continue to speak soft

Now I'm making a spinoff

And I'll see you from the...

Top's down, bottom's up now it's twisted

Couldn't fight but resisted

And I'm better off so...

Watch Me Now

Fireworks outside, sitting on the basement floor

It's almost 12 o'clock, and the New Year's at the door

Just another day, trying to make it right

But it's all good, because I'm with you here tonight

Another year gone

Another sad song

Another chance to try to want to be

A new me

Wake up, to find another day

Turns out, everything's the same way

I didn't mean to hurt you, I won't do it again

It wasn't my intention, you were my best friend

When will you realize

How quickly time flies?

When will you see?

Oh brother when will you see

The real me?

On New Year's Eve

Another year gone

Another sad song

Another chance to try to want to be...

A new me

Many have gone

But through all our ups and downs we've carried on

Approaching new ground

Like explorers on a sea of chance unbound

You might be

My island in the sea

It's times like these

When you start to see the forest for the trees

Though the leaves will fall

The branches keep the forest standing tall

You might be

My island in the sea

The future has demands

So we're gonna keep this tight between our hands

Stay close to me

And hold me as we float upon that sea

You might be

My island in the sea

Ooh la la

I'm watching you dance

Ooh la la

In those bright yellow pants

Why, oh why

Why are you here?

Why, oh why

It's unclear

But I want to go home

Down the long dusty road

And I gotta run

Because I'm not having fun

I've been out here so long

Nothing's strange anymore

And you gave me this song

But I've heard it before

If I bought you a whiskey

Would you drink it with me?

Can we start with a whiskey?

There's a bar down the street

And I want to go home

Down the long dusty road

And I gotta run

Because I'm not having fun

Ooh la la

Something tells me I should sleep

But my thoughts keep me up

Late at night with TV glaring

I've been in this rut

When I dream, I can almost feel you

Laying next to me

But when I wake, it's a distant memory

And no one's there, but me

So I don't sleep

I'm spending the night alone

It's been days since you have left me

But my pain endures

I've found smiles in empty bottles

None compare to yours

When I dream, I can almost feel you

Laying next to me

But when I wake, it's a distant memory

And no one's there, but me

When I dream, I can almost feel you

Like it used to be

But when I wake, it's a distant memory

And no one's there, but me

So I don't sleep

I'm spending the night alone

No I can't sleep

Maybe I got into trouble

Maybe I went my own way

Maybe I was a disappointment

Maybe there's nothing left to say

But you know me

And you showed me

What it means to be a man

And you loved me

And you hugged me

When life didn't go to plan

You know me all too well

You know me better than I know myself

Now I'm out here on my own

But I know that I will always have a home

You know me

And you showed me

What it means to be a man

And you loved me

And you hugged me

When life didn't go to plan

And you know me

And you showed me

What it means to be a man

And you loved me

And you hugged me

When life didn't go to plan

And I praise you

For the days you

Spent your life with me

Gave direction

Introspection

You're the best in me

They say you don't know what you have until it's gone

But I knew what I had all along

10,000 miles are between us

And all I have is this song

I miss your body laying next to me at night

The cold outside the blanket masked by our delight

The winter's colder when we fight so...

Let's talk it out and make things right

Don't let the sadness mask the good times

We'll have gladness in our lifetime

In my dreams it's bright and clear, oh

Pass me a Miller, pass me a Stone

You might have a problem

They said on the phone

But they didn't care to come to my home

So I sat and cried as I drank alone

Pass me the bubbler, pass me the joint

They said to cut back

I didn't see the point

Couldn't they see I needed a friend?

They wouldn't realize until the end

Pass me a codeine, pass me a perc

Just another pill-popping, rich Jersey jerk

Pass me the mirror, pass me the straw

No friends complain now

Don't see them no more

Another long night again lonely ends

But sleeping is easier without any friends

Pass me the needle, pass me the dope

That night I went to bed... I never awoke

Pass me a Miller, pass me a Stone

Is it a problem that I drink alone?
