Slick Shoes - "Rusty" (TND1088)
1. Feeble
Nothing can replace the way I felt when I saw you standing
there.
But that's not true there was that time you called to say hello.
A single moment in time I have to go. You said goodbye.
I wrote a note to tell you I'd missed you since.
I've walked around this crazy town and tried to find
someone like you, just got lost along the way.
Wish I could get out of my mind of my thoughts
and into my life where I'd keep you til' the end of time.
No one could touch you no one could hurt you.
I'd like to be there when you call home,
only if you'd let me be the one.
Do you remember when we went walking hand in hand?
Do you remember when we thought it would never end?
2. Cliche
What they say never really mattered to me.
I've been wrong. Open the door, time to move on.
What has changed?
Same old story with a new name.
I'm not scared, I've been here before.
I guess I thought you'd be here, I swear it.
This is the last time I close my eyes to it.
Never again will we be what we were.
Maybe I'll just walk away.
Time thrown away, I didn't use it anyway.
Been here for so long, now it's time to move on.
Read between the lines, I can't make up my mind.
Was this what we planned?
Mercury fall, forgot how much I hate the fall.
Still sitting by the phone, I hope that you don't call.
It's alright now we'll make it somehow.
You'd think we'd learned by now.
Well, I guess it goes to show.
You're the answers to all my prayers, I swear it.
This is the last time I close my eyes to it.
Never again will we be what we were.
Maybe I'll just walk away.
3. Regrets
As I stand here and wait for you,
you don't know how I feel.
Guess I'm too shy to let you know.
My heart's in control.
This time I know that everything will be okay.
I don't know what you would think.
I don't know what to expect.
No matter what happens you will be my friend.
I'm not going to mess this up.
I don't want to end with regrets.
I can't stop thinking of you,
can't get you out of my thoughts.
Can't concentrate,
I'm losing my head over a girl.
I know I'll always love you.
I wish that you felt the same.
4. Rusty
In this room it's cold and dark.
It feels like me. I'm far from home.
In this town there is no one.
The lamp is low, when can I go home?
All I can do is hold on to what I have.
Why did it change? I liked it how it was.
I'm without you, the world spins without me.
Without your smile, it takes a while.
Nothing has changed, I wish you were here with me.
I can't wait until the next time
that you'll be here by my side.
Is there anything I can do?
Give me a call, I love you.
All I can do is hold on to what I have.
Why did it change? I liked it how it was.
I'm without you, the world spins without me.
Without your smile, it takes a while.
I miss you, I wish you were here with me.
5. Joe's Sick
So what if you don't like me?
Underneath our skin we still bleed.
I can deal with you sarcasm.
It takes more than that to put me under you thumb.
You think I'll follow you down.
I'm not as dumb as you think.
You think I'll follow you down.
You'll never see me break.
You must think that your are better.
Just accept that we are all the same.
What do I do to make you hate me?
It doesn't matter, I'll turn the other cheek.
I'm not as dumb as you think.
I won't make the same mistakes you have.
Feeble minded, black hearted.
Your widened mouth and simple ideas.
6. Proved Me Wrong
A softer kind of smile.
A star that holds your stare.
Everything I've known just blew up in the air.
Don't you hate it when every love song makes sense to you?
And time away breaks your heart in two.
I really hate it now.
They should have taught us this in school.
I really thought I was so cool.
You proved me wrong again.
I can't wait til' the next time I see you.
It's getting hard to sleep at night.
I'll pretend that it's alright.
It doesn't feel that way.
By now you'll probably hate this song.
It's probably best that it's not long.
I guess you proved me wrong.
I can't wait til' the next time I see you.
7. Father Son Picnic
To learn from past mistakes,
to crawl out of the hole I dug myself.
I should have learned by now, I can't do it.
And the time it flys right past me now.
I pray that you would show me how.
You're the only one,
your my father, I'm your son.
And with your love, I'm sure it won't be long.
All I ever wanted was to feel as though you cared,
but as time has shown, I see we're all too scared.
Faith in human beings has never got me anywhere.
And here I stand with only you.
Love is what you showed me.
The only time I ever felt love
is when you were standing next to me.
8. Losing Sight
Sorry it turned out like this,
I guess it's time for us to take our own seperate ways.
All I can do is pray that you would make the right decisions
and never lose sight of what is real.
All the time I wonder why it turned out like this.
It doesn't matter, it's in God's hands.
You're losing your grip on reality.
You don't know what is real and what is really in your head.
You haven't learned, you never will,
unless you let God do what He wants
and not what you want to do.
9. Fall
Lord I'm distracted by so many things of the world.
My eyes always stray from You,
but You are always watching over me.
I don't know how you could stand having me as Your son.
I'm always so selfish and You are always so kind.
Lord, you're always there for me.
Without you I don't know what I would do.
You're always there for me,
without you I don't know what I would do.
When everything is going well I rarely stop and thank you.
But, when nothing is going right I stop and complain to you.
Don't let me fall.
10. Walk Out
You cannot walk break me,
how far it takes me.
My mind is racing as I play this song.
Will you walk out?
This song is played out.
This thing I'm facing will not go quietly.
Place to place, I see your face - keep me centered now.
Need some sleep, your song I keep deep within my heart.
Tomorrow's at stake,
but this show won't make
my love wander from my promises.
I feel better now,
and I will carry this song until we are done.
Home now, nothing's better.
With you forever, it doesn't seem long enough.
11. Bounce
You're stuck where you fell.
Your past comes back to haunt you.
Things you'd thought you'd learned again and again
didn't fit well inside your head.
The victim of a crime of the mind.
To heal, it will take more than time.
All I can do is pray that you would feel
more like you did yesterday.
They don't know you like I do.
They never even tried to.
You're misunderstood.
You're feeling all left out.
I see the terrible norm is tearing you apart.
Now what can you do?
It's time to face the truth
that life is just a tour
and you're along for the ride.
12. Last
She holds his hand and stares off into space.
All she knows now is how much things can change.
It's not her fault. It's not her, no one is to blame.
It's just that regret has a way of taunting you.
I guess it's hard to hide the past,
the way she struggles to make it last.
I wanna share all I have with you.
Would it change a thing if I was with you?
A broken heart, too much has past.
I hope someday that something lasts.
Hear head hangs low, a tear is in her eye.
It's not the first time someone has made her cry.
Up goes a wall that no one can climb.
The only way in or out is through the heart.
Take your time, don't you rush a thing.
I'll be here waiting for you,
never let you down again.
I wanna share all I have with you.
Would it change a thing if I was with you?
A broken heart, too much has past.
I hope someday that something lasts.
13. By What Right
My country tis of thee, as a child I was proud.
Now I am much older, my opinion's changed by leaps and...
Save the environment is what you say
and lab animals die every day.
How about the unborn in the womb
that's robbed of it's life before it's born?
So don't tell me this is the home of the brave.
Tax dollars kill kids every day.
Immorality does have a price.
The price is death to an unborn child.
By what right, do you take the things you take?
By what right, do you do what you do?
By what right, do you kill and steal?
My country tis of thee, no longer will I bow.
My faith lies in God above, not in your government.
Stole my right to pray in school
and gave the right to kill a child.
Taught morality is unnecessary.
What happened to, "In God We Trust"?
This country is stolen property based on lies and waste.
So, send send your soldiers off to die.
What happened to, "In God We trust"?
14. Tired Of You
There's no better way to tell you how I feel than this.
Don't act so surprised, it's been like this a long time.
Every time you turn your back on me,
it breaks my heart to think of all the times
that I was there for you.
If there ever comes a time when I won't be there
I hope you have some time and find someone else to abuse.
I won't be there, I'm not a fool.
I'm getting tired of you.
I remember those rainy days when I staid in.
I'd call you on the phone and try to be your friend.
But, to no avail, I swore it would never happen again.
Two phone calls later and I would give in.
I'm such a sucker, why do I try so hard?
The simple things I do to prove I care for you.
I won't be there, I'm not a fool.
I am getting tired of you.
I won't let this world get me down.
And your silly games won't let me down.
I pray to God that you won't get me down.
15. What Happens Next
I can't believe what He's done for me.
It makes me want to cry.
I don't know why You put me here,
but I'm sure You have your reasons.
Why have you put me here?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.
I don't know what's gonna happen next,
but my faith's in You.
You've gotten me this far.
My life is going so fast.
I need to sit back and take it all in.
Without God I wouldn't be here now.
My dreams are turning into every day life.
Things I thought would never happen
are happening all the time.
My wishes are coming true, because of You.
All my dreams are coming true.
And I don't know what's gonna happen next...
16. Represent
I've walked this road a thousand times before
and never found what I was looking for.
All the time I stumble and I fall.
Still here I stand trying to be free.
Yes, I try to get on with my life,
taking one step at a time.
I still can't fly.
I try so hard to please, but never compromise.
It took You to make me realize that I'm not by myself.
I want You to be in my life.
Cause I know You'll never say goodbye.
For You I'd walk a thousand miles.
I still can't fly.
