Slice lyrics - Five For Fighting
There was a time a long, long time ago
Chevys and levees played on the radio
No cell phones, just 20,000 lights
Swaying on a saturday night alright
Can you imagine that slice of time
Rock and roll was young
People stood in line
To hear music that played into their lives
That you could carry till the day you die
Hey man sing me a song
When we were everyone
We were more than just a slice of American Pie
Have you read my blog today
300 million little USA's
Your doorstep is just a click away
We'll get together one of these days
How can you be as nice as me
You're not from the same slice as me
Where do we go from here my friend
Is this the way our story ends
Hey man sing me a song
When we were everyone
We were more than just a slice of American Pie
I can't stop singing along..
Can you join in... come on
Are we more than just a slice of American Pie
We're top down lovers
It's saturday night
The band's running
And it feels so right
The moon's dancing and the stars are free
I caught your heart on a summer breeze
Whatever was or what's meant to be
Our melodies are memories
There was a time a long, long time ago
Chevys and levees played on the radio
No cell phones, just 20,000 lights
Swaying on a saturday night alright
Hey man sing me a song
When we were everyone
We were more than just a slice of American Pie
I can't stop singing along
Can you join in, come on
Are we more than just a slice of American Pie
We're more than a slice
We're more than just a slice of American Pie
Note To The Unknown Soldier lyrics - Five For Fighting
I don't know you
I never met you
For laughs I'll call you Sam
You were the son
Of Mrs. Someone
I hope she understands
Sam you were all that you had
Are you happy or sad
I never knew you
But I'm told you're the best we had
Were you so tall
Did you play Basketball
Was there a sweetheart at home
Did you write her letters
Did it make you better face the great unknown
Sam did you feel alone
You were so far from home
I never knew you
But I know you're the best man I know
Could you tell it was time
See it coming in the back of your mind
When it was over, was it over
Sam I'm glad you're on my side
I don't know you
I never met you
Can I call you Sam
Did you have a son
A daughter with a little one
I might go and thank Sam you're the best that we have
You make me happy and sad
If you were here, I'd buy the beers
I'd shake your hand and say good man
And though the sun would shine about the same
It's a better world because you came
Sincerely yours, my kids will know your name
Tuesday lyrics - Five For Fighting
One year like any old other year in a week like any week
Monday lying down, half asleep
People doing what people do, loving, working and getting through
No portraits on the walls of Seventh Avenue
Then Tuesday came and went like a helicopter overhead
The letter that she left, cold addressed in red
Tuesday came and went one, one September when
Will she come again?
The thing about memories they're sure and bound to fade
Except for the stolen souls, left upon her blade
Is Monday coming back? Well, that's what Mondays do
They turn and turn around afraid to see it through
Tuesday came and went like a helicopter overhead
The letter that she left, cold addressed in red
Tuesday came and went one, one September when
Will she come again?
Tuesday came and went one, one September when
Cold and dressed in red, how could I forget?
Tuesday came and went like a helicopter overhead
Will she come again?
Chances lyrics - Five For Fighting
Chances are when said and done
Who'll be the lucky ones who make it all the way?
Though you say I could be your answer
Nothing lasts forever no matter how it feels today
Chances are we'll find a new equation
Chances roll away from me
Chances are all they hope to be
Don't get me wrong I'd never say never
'Cause though love can't change the weather
No act of God could pull me away from you
I'm just a realistic man, a bottle filled with shells and sand
Afraid to look beyond what I can lose when it comes to you
And though I'd see us through, yeah
Chances are we'll find two destinations
Chances roll away from me
Still chances are more than expectations
The possibilities over me
Eight to five or two to one, lay your money on the sun
Until you crash what have you done? Is there a better bet than love?
What you are is what you bring. You gotta cry before you sing
Chances, chances
Chances lost are hope's torn out pages
Maybe this time
Chances are we'll be the combination
Chances come and carry me
Chances are waiting to be taken, and I can see
Chances are the fascination
Chances won't escape from me
Chances are only what we make them and all I need
This Dance lyrics - Five For Fighting
This is not our favorite song
but the night is moving right along
may I have your hand, may I have this dance.
I sense that you are amused,
but you just bought those brand new shoes.
It would such a shame not to give us the chance.
And oh my love there is only so many dances we can take across the night.
So while is just me and you
I thought I might say to you
You put the beautiful in life.
I know at times that you feel alone
when I'm here and I'm never home.
You said before is the price that you pay.
On matters of clarity
is not secret you are carrying me.
But you disguise thoughts of fall
I will keep you safe.
And oh my love there is only so many dances we can take across the night.
So while is just me and you
I thought I might say to you
You put the beautiful in life.
And oh....
oh...oh...
This is not our favorite song
but I wish it go on and on
it's moments like these
singers do all they can to stop time.
So let me just say to you
before the DJ changes the tune
you put the beautiful in life
you put the beautiful in life.
Above The Timberline lyrics - Five For Fighting
I get a little tired
Looking through the trees
Sitting on the 405
Hoping for a breeze
Everybody's gunning
You got something to see
I gotta sell this ticket
Get the shadow off of me
So what is your problem
You been moping around
You need to find a mountaintop
And get out of this town
She says sometimes
You gotta get away
Clear out that noggin
Open up the day
Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you
It's clear in my mind
Love shines bright above the timberline
Things get slower
When it's harder to breath
I can almost touch the stars
That are hanging over me
You've never been more beautiful
And it's easy to see
All that really matters
You're all I'll ever need
I'm getting to the home
At the top of the world
Leading to realities
Up down at the curb
Oh the noise between us,
Now it can't be heard
I'm listening to the wind
I'm writing down the words
Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you
It's clear in my mind
Love shines bright above the timberline
Now I'll be coming home,
I'll be coming home soon
Before I head on down
I'm gonna kiss the moon
Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you
It's clear in my mind
Love shines bright above the timberline
Above the timberline
No heading up race, no waiting in line
The farther I go
The harder you climb
Love shines bright above the timberline
Transfer lyrics - Five For Fighting
Bought a ticket, destination nowhere
I am going then he smiled
It'd been awhile he said
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye love
She worked at the transfer station
No last words or consolations
Why I never lied
She cried, goodbye, bye, bye, bye love
He then took her off
He checked his line
The years went by
He found himself best he could find
Then a letter posted nowhere
Regards, I've arrived am doing fine
I missed you mine come save my life
My love, my life
She then put him on
She checked her line
She took her time
And on her heart she relied
Bought a ticket, destination nowhere
I am going then she smiled
It'd been awhile that smile
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye love
Train pulls into nowhere
There he stands a field of flowers
For his hands my love he cries
I missed you mine, come save my life
She says don't cry was only time
Moves in a line and then she smiled
And said besides I'm just passing bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye love
Bye, bye, bye, bye love
Bye, bye, bye, bye love, goodbye
Hope lyrics - Five For Fighting
When life's got you down and you can't make a sound
Cause love has forsaken you
When you burning on fire but have no desire
To put out the flames in
You gotta have hope
You gotta have something
There's always a reason to break
Hope
Cause nothing less
Will save the day
When you are in pain then step of the train
Nobody's waiting for you
You can knock down each door of all metaphors
Or embrace the cold hard truth
But you gotta have hope
You gotta have something
there's always a reason to break
Hope
Cause nothing less
Will save the day
I see that look in your eyes
I've seen it before
Each to our own disguise
If you need me babe
You're not alone, no, no
When life's got you down and you can't make a sound
cause despair has stolen your song
but raise up your fist and into the abyss
Scream,"Coward, get of my lawn"
Hope
Something
There's always a reason to break
Hope
Cause nothing less will save the day
Story Of Your Life lyrics - Five For Fighting
At 17 she left Long Island bound for Hollywood
Another story like the ones you've heard before
He left her broken like you figured, like you knew he would
She shut her heart after his ring rang off the door
It's the story of your life
You're tearing out the page
New chapter underway
The story of your life
You live it everyday
You can run, you run
But you won't get away
I don't know what's coming up
Where will you go now
It's the story of your life
She hit the ground
She built a fine career
Every weekend walked her dog beside the sea
In the salt she met a man who knew at once but wait
Is he the one we need him to be
In the story your life
You're moving down the page
As the words begin to change
The story of your life
You live it everyday
You can run, you run
But you won't get away
I don't know what's coming up
Where will you go now
It's the story of your life
Look around look around and the world will find you
There's a reason that we live so far from Hollywood
In the country looking hard to find a home
We're nothing perfect
All considered
But we're so damn good
It's the story of your life
You're moving down the page
And you know you're on your way
The story of your life
You live it everyday
You can run, you run
But you won't get away
No one knows what's coming up
Where will you go now
It's the story
It's your story
It's the story of your life
Love Can't Change The Weather lyrics - Five For Fighting
Love comes in, Love goes out
Moves in circles, Roundabout
We've been tired;
We can't take it anymore
Love can't change the weather
She says I'm out of my mind, over my head
Love can't change the weather
But I'll rise to shade the sun when it blinds your eyes
Love is born, Love is dead
Runs in colours, Blues and reds
We can't die;
We can't waste it anymore
Love in me, Loving you
Makes it better, when love is true
We are one;
We can face any storm
Love can't change the weather
She says I'm out of my mind, over my head
Love can't change the weather
But I'll be holding you when the rain walks in
Holding on...
And if you're wondering;
What is my take on this
If you're wondering
I'm out of my mind, over my head
But I'll shade the sun if it blinds your eyes
Love can't change the weather
But I stand holding your heart, Keeping your hand
Love can't change the weather
I believe no act of God is stronger than you and me
Love comes in, Love goes out
We can't die...
Augie Nieto lyrics - Five For Fighting
Augie Nieto's got a story to tell you
Though it's hard to hear him speak
He caught Lou Gehrig rounding third one day
Now he's happy as he'll ever be
He's running through the night
He'll die before he sleeps
Augie's found what I've been looking for
Augie Nieto can tell you he loves you
He's two wheels close to God
His captain Lynn sailing by his side
He'll never leave you lost
Though his arms can't squeeze you tight
He'll hold you when you sleep
Augie's found what I've been looking for
Hey yeah, Hey yeah
Take it any way it goes
Hey yeah, Hey yeah
Open up your never mind
Open up your mind
Augie Nieto has never been happier
You got to see to believe
He caught Lou Gehrig rounding third one day
Now he's carrying the whole team
It's not the breaths you take
It's how to breathe
Augie's found what I've been looking for
Augie's found what I've been looking for
Nowhere Bar lyrics - Five For Fighting
She wanted a hotel with a lobby
He penciled her in as a hobby
Jimmy and Johnny go kamikazes
Tom's 30 years buildin' the business
Were not enough to keep him in it
Now it's born 100 proof forgiveness
Let's go down to the Nowhere Bar
It's nowhere near, its nowhere far
It doesn't matter who you are
God save the radio star
Let's go down to the Nowhere Bar
You can bring your dream guitar
Sing me song of days gone far
We can get away, away
She had a face, he had a problem
She was a Jew, he was a Muslim
Now they're hiding out in old Jerusalem
They had a son, they name him Cegrid
C gave them something to believe in
If you can blink, you can't conceive him
Let's go down to the Nowhere Bar
It's nowhere near, its nowhere far
It doesn't matter who you are
God save the shooting star
Let's go down to the Nowhere Bar
You can bring your dream guitar
Sittin' with the band from Mars
We can get away, away
Away
Away
Away
Where did you go Dr. Jebago?
Rome, Solaren, or free Key Largo
Turn around in Caba Wabo
Iron John powered up to rally
Gonna hit the floor with Mustang Sally
1, 2, 3 your off back to Cali'
Let's go down to the Nowhere Bar
It's nowhere near, it's nowhere far
We'll drink a toast to FDR
God save the silver star
Let's to down to the Nowhere Bar
Trade in your old VCR
Solo with the band from Mars
Taxi! To the Nowhere Bar
One thousand bets he'll leave the bar
Diamonds, pesos, or giras
There goes the Hollywood Star
Come on down to the Nowhere bar
Download into your toolbar
A calus potion or Shangri-La
We can get a-
Get on down to the Nowhere Bar
She's sitting on your handle bars
Everywhere, your NPRs
God save the Ringo Star
Only down at the Nowhere bar
Your as special as your are
Shine no more men along that bar
We can get away, away
