How To Get Lost

You should never have to ask how to get lost
Cast your worries aside ‘cause it
doesn’t cost a thing
If you’re his little lady but he lies in your
lap
Quit the what ifs but don’t show him a map or
complain
‘Cause it’s a pain

Everybody’s talking I wasn’t listening
I've been trying to tell you that it’s
intuition
But two minus one and one plus one isn’t one
and the same

How to get lost

You should never need permission to get off
Put your heart in your hands when it glows and
it’s soft it’s insane
Paint your warning signs with your burgundy mouth

I have spent such a long time waiting
I believe dreams come true
I have searched for that happy ending
I found you

Someone to rely on
Someone to rely on
When the world seems too much
When life plays too rough
Someone to rely on

You gave up when he left you crying
You believed love would let you down
You would say there is no use trying
Now you found

Someone to rely on
Someone to rely on
When the world seems too much
When life plays too rough
Someone you hold on to
Someone who can pull you through
I’m always here for you
Someone to rely on

We’re both the same

I’m the Indian on the hood of your flying machine
I’m the headlights shining lighting up the highway to your dreams
I’m the tread on the tire
I’m the wheel in your hands
I’m the radio playing every song you know

When you’re close
I’m anywhere you want to go
When you’re close
I’m anywhere you want to go

I’m the town just up ahead on a map that someone drew
I’m the friend of a friend a stranger you swore you knew
I’m the sun comin’ up I’m the lines on the road
I’m the sign that leads you home

When you’re close
I’m anywhere you want to go

The opposite of love is fear
The opposite of hate is an open heart
The purpose of my hand is to hold yours in it
The purpose of this life is to accept it as it is

Oh dear
You keep running round it
Always running round it
I don’t blame you

Waiting on an answer you might wait forever
If the purpose of your question is a guarantee
The opposite of happiness is longing for it
Try and spend a day without a luxury

Oh dear
You keep running round it
Always running round it
I don't blame you

Oh dear
Swore you might’ve found it
If you’ve gone and lost it

I hear you gotta a new boyfriend
I hear you’re moving to London
I hear you’re starting a rock band
You’re really making waves

What about what you told me?
About how you been searching
For a new philosophy
Or some good advice

What If It Isn’t Out There?

You kicked out of the old plan
You said you’re makin’ a come back
You broke free of the old friends
You finally shook ‘em all off

You know I’d go outta my way
You said you’d rather be happy
Instead of makin’ good money
You could be rakin’ it up

What If It Isn’t Out There? (Ott, Tashian)

She's all about family
She prays to her God
She don't scare easy
When the going gets hard
She's never too far
From the salt and the sand
Ain't afraid to work it
She's earned that tan

In her high-heeled flip-flops
In her strapless tank-top
In the hot summer sun she's hotter than blacktop
She's so doggone pretty all smiles and curves
Thank God for sweet tea and southern girls

She's kind and she's caring
But she'll say what she thinks
She'll say, "bless your heart"
Then fix you a drink
She can get dirty
But she cleans up real nice
The life of the party

We used to walk along the avenues
I still recall the things we used to do
Remember when you felt the same
We kissed on the corner in the pouring rain
Then you found somebody new

I’m never gonna walk those streets
Now I know where they’re gonna lead
I don’t want to see the city lights
I don’t want to be alone tonight
And I know I’m gonna want you back
I don’t ever want to feel like just a friend
So I’m never gonna walk those streets again

I’d think of ways to keep you entertained
Making fun of people on the train
Your hair was dark your eyes were blue

I’m only in town for one more day
My ride is leaving soon I can’t stay
Tell me
Tell me your story

I know I just met you it might seem weird
Have another drink baby have no fear
Tell me
Tell me your story
Tell me your story

Weren’t we all killing it just a couple of kids
Chasin’ round down the boulevards
Growing up getting by we would never deny
Who we are or what we came from
Tell me your story

The good, the bad, and the ugly ones
Rise and fall like the setting sun
Tell me
Tell me your story

When I’m gone baby don’t get sad
