Crossroads
I'm Sitting at a crossroads I can't decide
I should be going one way
I really tried
So many new directions all go one way
I want the way I came from
To yesterday
Ch
Got to move ahead
I can always stay in bed
Got to pick a side but
I'm sitting at a crossroads
I can;t move
An every road I take now
Is far from you
So many new solutions everyday
But none of them will take me to yesterday
Ch
Got to move along
I don't really fell too strong
Got to pick a way
I'm sitting at a crossroads
Need a beer
Finding a new normal
Without you here
So many things to do now
I do your way
I wish had done them yesterday
So stay
In yesterday
I'm sitting at a crossroads
I should be going one way
So many new directions
I want the way I came from
From yesterday

Fall Apart
Hold on you don't, don't let it show
You smile so no, no one can know
When you close the door you fall apart
You're tired, broken down, you've not been yourself
Your quiet retreat's not good for your health
When you finally speak you fall apart
You fall apart
Ch
I know it's not been easy on you
And I really do feel for you
I can't help if you won't let me see
You say you're fine, I see through the lies
Your smile doesn't reach, reach to your eyes
When you finally breath you fall apart
You fall apart
Ch
Hold on one day you're going to implode
You carry around this heavy load
When you set it down you'll fall apart
You'll fall apart
You need to fall apart
You fall apart.

It's Me
I'm standing by the door
If I fell on the floor
Would you notice me or step and walk on by
I haven't got a clue
How to get to you
And I wonder why
Ch
It's me, it's me all the way
It's me, it's me all the way to you
I look you up online and I pretend you're mine
I add you to my friends then wait and see
I'd call you everyday
But you got call display and you'd know it's me
Ch
It's me, it's me all the way
It's me, it's me all the way to
the end of the line
Give me a sign
Tell me I have a chance with you
I'm standing by the door
How can you ignore me
How can you not see and walk on by
I really need a clue
How to get to you
And I wonder why
Ch
It's me, it's me all the way
It's me, it's me all the way
It's me, it's me all the way
It's me, it's me all the way to you
To you, to you
All the way to you

Hello
Sunny day, look at the blue sky
Funny how you're always passing by
When I'm walking down your street
Looking like you happen to be there
Looking up and looking so unaware that we
Happen to
Ch
Hello on Monday
Hello on Tuesday
Hello, here we go again
Hello on Wednesday
Hello on Thursday
Friday, here we go again
Funny days I'm watching the time pass
Walking by and hoping you'll ask me
More than how am I doing, what's the time
Looking up in anticipation
But I kind of like the sensation
Knowing you'll be standing in the line
Ch
Rainy day, but i can't see you
Skies are grey where have you gone to
Days like these just don't feel the same
Here you come around the corner
Holding flowers, who are they for
I see you smile and you call out my name
Ch
Sunny days look at the blue sky
Funny how saturday seems to smile
When you come walking down my street
