If I could freeze a moment in time And make it last forever Then it would a matter of time in this happy ever after From the moment we spoke our minds There was no turning back, no more goodbyes From the moment I was too weak to wonder why Was the moment I realized Surrender to the notions Give into the emotions... If I could freeze a moment in time And make it last forever Then it would a matter of time in this happy ever after From the moment we made that night There was no turning back, as others might From the moment I was too weak for alibis Was the moment I realized Surrender to the notions Give into the emotions... If I could freeze a moment in time And make it last forever Then it would a matter of time in this happy ever after If I could freeze a moment in time And make it last forever Then it would a matter of time in this happy ever after © 2007 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] WAITING: If you are down if you are out just count me in I'll give my everything to be the one your with I've spent all this

there stays there, you already know I've been up and down the coast line And hell yeah, man It was a good time From Florida to Maine in a couple days A pit stop in Carolina just to lessen the haze I've been making rounds And right now I'm out about the town Sayin' all you need is to be here and to be loud I've been making rounds And don't you try to lounge around this crowd now Just get on up and party down I've been to backyard blowouts A Bonfire that could take the whole town out The band takes the stage, 'til the morning breaks And then you do it all again, cause it's another day Well I've been stranded on an island Drink in hand, the days fly by when You can soak it all in, before the day begins And then you spend your time wishin' it would never end I've been making rounds And right now I'm out about the town Sayin' all you need is to be here and to be loud I've been making rounds And don't you try to lounge around this crowd now Just get on up and party down I've been up to see the sunrise And closed out more places then I realize Would I do it all again, you bet 100 percent Unless there's yet another way to say it's time well spent Well I've been making up for lost time And each day's yet another friend of mine And no one can see where the road may lead I'll keep the roller coaster going if you're here with me I've been making rounds And right now I'm out about the town Sayin' all you need is to be here and to be loud I've been making rounds And don't you try to lounge around this crowd now Just get on up and party down Get on up and party down Get on up and party down © 2007 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] ONCE AGAIN: I need a ticket to another place Something other then the same old space Some time to waste An escape to something better Who needs a reason when the timing's right Maybe a couple weeks or just a single night The future's bright In a place with something better And we lay in the sand Hours pass with our heads resting in our hands With some friends or your first romance Once can be once again Without escaping from the daily grind Can work its damage over lengths of time If I can find An escape to something better When it all builds up feels like you've lost the game But you can play again some other day Let it wash away In a place with something better And we lay in the sand Hours pass with our heads resting in our hands With some friends or your first romance Once can be once again It doesn't matter where you set things straight Just a release from yet another day Let us clear the haze An escape to something better Just try to take a moment for your own And drift away from what you've come to know You're not alone In a place with something better And we lay in the sand Hours pass with our heads resting in our hands With some friends or your first romance Once can be once again © 2007 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] BEYOND THE GREY: It's when the clock strikes, and the timings right To make another perfect night If it's just a twist of fate, then it's all to waste No, don't let it end that way Although the clouds appear on your darkest days There's sunshine beyond the grey And while some rain may fall, not all's to waste There's sunshine beyond the grey If there's room to need beyond a jealous greed It could make you not believe But look past the fall, and you may recall There's a simple reason for it all Although the clouds appear on your darkest days There's sunshine beyond the grey And while some rain may fall, not all's to waste There's sunshine beyond the grey Although the clouds appear on your darkest days There's sunshine beyond the grey And while some rain may fall, not all's to waste There's sunshine beyond the grey © 2007 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] SOMETIME, SOMEWAY: If you're feeling down at the end of the day Have you lost you place, when you skipped that page If the timings off, yet the reaction's the same It's when all seems lost that we find our way... We all head down the same highway Reading different lines while the page’s the same All of one mind, but yet so many names Sometime someway... Many people dwell on what could ruin their day No time to breathe, not knowing what to say If we took a chance to simply do what's right If we'd all let go, we could be one tonight We all head down the same highway Reading different lines while the page’s the same All of one mind, but yet so many names Sometime... If you're looking for just a simple escape It’s when you close your eyes and simply drift away There’s no time to fight, and nothing’s out of place It's when all seems lost that we find our way... We all head down the same highway Reading different lines while the page’s the same All of one mind, but yet so many names Sometime... We all head down the same highway Reading different lines while the page’s the same All of one mind, but yet so many names Sometime someway... © 2007 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] LITERAL FICTION: Is life so cut and dry That we never wonder why Laced in lonely alibis The highest bidder wins the prize When you look beyond the names And you drift into a place Where life’s a warm embrace A finish with some time to waste If we woke up all at once And we saw the damage done Can we fix what we’ve become Or maybe I’m the only one? Maybe we can get things right Let the feelings pass us by What does it take to see the light When it’s not pointed in your eyes This is my fictional time Content from within, having nothing to hide The sun shines as the days pass us by And if forever’s a dream, I want you there by my side This is my fictional time Content from within, having nothing to hide The sun shines as the days pass us by And If forever’s a dream, I want you there by my side © 2007 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] LITERAL FICTION (REVISITED): Is life so cut and dry That we never wonder why Laced in lonely alibis The highest bidder wins the prize When you look beyond the names And you drift into a place Where life’s a warm embrace A finish with some time to waste If we woke up all at once And we saw the damage done Can we fix what we’ve become Or maybe I’m the only one?

Our lives are telling, with so many different sides And like time has told us, just forget about the time The same lessons we have learned, stop us from learning more Forget about the ‘what happened when,’ and embrace the ‘what's in store’ It's the something that takes me back to The memories I've yet to make Something like this, something like that Something like something or other, or something in fact Some things stay the same, and others need to change Did something go wrong, when something ain't right Something like something for nothing, or something to try Sometime, someplace, somehow, somewhere, someway Something like that... © 2008 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] WISH YOU WELL: Another minute passed, another day goes by Seems the face of change is just a test of life It shouldn't hold you back, or let it seal your fate Beyond the darkest hour, is a brighter day So just forgive and simply turn the page (don’t turn around now) What knocked us down before just makes us stronger today We'll rise above and find our way Through the looking glass, beyond the hopes and dreams What can blind you can heal you when you set it free Some have come and gone, and some have yet to arrive Until we meet again, isn't always goodbye So just forgive, and maybe shed some light (just shining on now) We can live for the moments with our heads held high The feeling could define our lives Well I wish you well where ever you may go When that path may lead you down an open road Well I wish you well around every turn But the truth be told I guess you live and you learn Well I wish you well where ever you may go When that path may lead you down an open road Well I wish you well around every turn But the truth be told I guess you live and you learn (But the truth be told, time marches on) I guess you live and you learn... © 2008 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] IT'S ALRIGHT: Thank god it's Friday Night Turn the Radio up cause my favorite song's playing The week just seemed to fly It almost passed me by but you don't hear me complainin' Round up the weekend crowd Cause we're all headed out for some mindless entertainment Some time to water down Good friends getting loud when the music starts to sink in I love it when a song Invites the room along it just grabs from the onset You start to hum the words And by the second verse everyone’s gone and lost it We're living in the round Cause nothing beats a crowd singing along with the record And no one cares about How karaoke you sound when you're all singin' together There's no better time then tonight There's not a loner in a crowd this size Let it ride, baby it's alright No excuse will fly, not tonight So leave your ego in the lot outside Get amplified, baby it's alright So when the moment comes Take advantage of every word you're singing The music never ends Another song begins as the other one’s ending There's no better time then tonight There's not a loner in a crowd this size Let it ride, baby it's alright No excuse will fly, not tonight So leave your ego in the lot outside Get amplified, baby it's alright Let me tell you one time, baby it’s alright Thank god it's Friday Night Turn the Radio up cause my favorite song's playing © 2008 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] SWEPT AWAY: Here we are, me and you, I’d be lost without it I love you baby and I’m never gonna give you up I submit, you got me hooked, couldn’t live without you Cause life is better when you share it with the one you love Oh yeah...when we're together I’m speechless, what can I say? From the moment that I met you, I knew my search was through Cause baby you swept me away Anytime, anyplace, I would wait forever The way I feel about you doesn't happen every day You’ve got the eyes, and the lips, to put a spell upon me You’re all I need to know that life will never be the same Oh yeah...when we're together I’m speechless, what can I say? From the moment that I met you, I knew my search was through Cause baby you swept me away Maybe I could write about it Or sing all night about it But rest assured I’ll find a way to tell the world about it So here we are, hand in hand, it doesn’t get much better I can’t imagine life without you here by my side I’m taken back, every time, that you’re here around me So just remember that my love for you will never die Oh yeah...when we're together I’m speechless, what can I say?

I’m crazy to hang around with you Or maybe you think I’m lucky to have something to do But I think that you’re wild inside me is some child You might think I’m foolish or maybe it’s untrue You might think I’m crazy but all I want is you You might think it’s hysterical but I know when you’re weak You think you’re in the movies and everything’s so deep But I think that you’re wild, When you flash that fragile smile You might think it’s foolish what ya put me through You might think I’m crazy but all I want is you And it was hard so hard to take There’s no escape without a scrape But you kept it going till the sun fell down You kept it going You might think I’m delirious the way I run you down But somewhere sometime when you’re curious Ill be back around Oh I think that you’re wild and so uniquely styled You might think its foolish this chancy rendezvous You might think I’m crazy but all I want is you All I want is you All I want is you Music & Lyrics By Ric Ocasek © Lido Music [BACK TO SONG LIST] PROMISES: I know you're thinking what did he do But I kept my word and wrote a song for you That's right, here it is, enjoy this little tune Now you can tell everyone this song’s for you The words are vague but the meanings true Should've known I would, consider this coming through The only thing that's ever been written for me Were bills to pay, directions to read But now you have a whole song written for you And I have one less thing to do I'm keeping promises Making good on what I said I'm keeping promises to you That's right I'm keeping promises A man of my word and now out of debt I'm keeping promises to you I know you're thinking what did he do But I kept my word and wrote a song for you That's right, here it is, enjoy this little tune Now you can tell everyone this song’s for you The words are vague but the meanings true Should've known I would, consider this coming through The only thing that's ever been written for me Were bills to pay, directions to read But now you have a whole song written for you And I have one less thing to do I'm keeping promises Making good on what I said I'm keeping promises to you I'm keeping promises A man of my word and now out of debt I'm keeping promises to you I'm keeping promises to you That being said, I bid you adieu © 2008 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] HERE WE ARE: When I look into your eyes, I know things are gonna be OK You know a smile like that can wash all the rain away You're my other half, my better half, my missing piece And on a stressful day a little sigh of relief I’m still thankful that my life turned out this way Here we are and here we'll be Just the sun and sand and the feel of a cooling breeze Let's drift away Just you and me and the memories that we've made One Summer Day We can travel to New England where it's been known to snow in May Or to the sunniest beach in California on Christmas Day We can try our luck in Vegas, where the odds are none But with you here right by my side, it's like I've already won I’m here waiting, so just name the time and place Here we are and here we'll be Just the sun and sand and the feel of a cooling breeze Let's drift away Just you and me and the memories that we've made One Summer Day It took me time to find you, but I'm glad that it happened that way If I did it all again, you can bet it'd play out the same As the days pass us by, how our love has grown And the future seems as bright as our past has shown I’ll regret it never cause forever's been worth the wait Here we are and here we'll be Just the sun and sand and the feel of a cooling breeze Let's drift away Just you and me and the memories that we've made One Summer Day © 2008 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] ANGEL: Instrumental © 2008 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] TIME MARCHES ON: I've taken chances and I've crossed the line Been through the ringer and continued to fight I've been down and out I've been kicked around But yet through all of it I've stood my ground The truth will set things right And the fallen will rise No more good-byes, just look deep into my eyes It will come in time I've been the loner and I've been the lead Been the one who's helping and the one in need I've had my doubts Of what life's about But in the end I've come to figure out The truth will set things right And the fallen will rise No more good-byes, just look deep into my eyes It will come in time Keep on fighting, stand united Time keeps marching on Once ignited, it’ll keep on rising Time keeps marching I've kicked a habit and it kicked me back I've seen the truth in those who never have I've been off the tracks And now looking back I'm stronger now then if I never had The truth will set things right And the fallen will rise No more good-byes, just look deep into my eyes It will come in time In time In time... © 2008 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] UNGLUED: Moderation is masterbation What is what, and what makes you feel good All these things I

in my life Everything seems right Words'll never say What you mean to me No matter how I try Cause once upon a time I saw the world through those big blue eyes Your smile brought me to life The love I feel inside for my Once upon a time Nothing I could write Could ever quite describe What I feel inside And nothing I could sing Would ever truly bring This love alive Cause once upon a time I saw the world through those big blue eyes Your smile brought me to life The love I feel inside for my Once upon a time You're everything And more to me And you'll always be My guiding light The star so bright The whole world can see That once upon a time I saw the world through those big blue eyes Your smile brought me to life The love I feel inside for my once upon a time Something so simple and yet so right Cause my angel has arrived The love I feel inside for my Once upon a time I'm speechless tonight For once in my life Everything seems right © 2009 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] LONELY ROAD: Sometimes beginnings Never seem to end Yet the finish line draws near The path we're taking Can circle many times The endless trial we fear On the crowded streets you roam Not every turn will lead you home One in a million but not alone Headed down that lonely road Some tend to wander When they've lost their way Another shawdow in the night Different directions All seem out of place Until you find your guiding light On the crowded streets you roam Not every turn will lead you home One in a million but not alone Headed down that lonely There's one way in, and no way out Sometimes the fear can bring you down But you're not alone I'm by your side, day and night One more that we can both survive Down this lonely road It takes believing That you can learn to fly Even when you've lost your wings Sometimes beginnings Never need to end Once you've embraced the feeling On the crowded streets you roam Not every turn will lead you home One in a million but not alone Headed down that lonely road On the crowded streets you roam Not every turn will lead you home One in a million but not alone Headed down that lonely road © 2009 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] LIFE HAPPENS: It's working to the bone five days a week Never getting a break, or some needed relief But money talks, and so I'll be back in the morning It's spending both days off doing household chores Waiting in endless lines at the grocery store Then Monday comes, and you're back doing circles again It's the same old life and a different day And when life hits the fan, it's probably time for a break because Life happens, and we're put on this earth to deal with it Friday Night's the relief from taking life all week And your friend's so full of life, it's simply hard to believe just think Life happens weather or not we planned for it So try to smile when Life happens again It's the car breaking down on the side of the road So that money you saved is now the money you owe You realized, you probably should've kept that AAA It's the house on the beach for the summer time A brand new mazarati down on rodeo drive It could happen, maybe if I won the lottery It's the same old life and a different day And when life hits the fan, it's probably time for a break because Life happens, and we're put on this earth to deal with it Friday Night's the relief from taking life all week And your friend's so full of life, it's simply hard to believe just think Life happens weather or not we planned for it So try to smile when Life happens again I’ve been told to get my life together Because I don’t know life But I’ve been dealt this life before And I’m doin’ just fine…Alright! It's an outdoor concert in the pouring rain It's your team getting routed in a rivalry game And so it goes, there's not much we can do about it Cause it's the little things in life, that never seem to go right Like when the dog mistakes the kitchen for his spot outside I get it now, I can't let this life get the best of me It's the same old life and a different day And when life hits the fan, it's probably time for a break because Life happens, and we're put on this earth to deal with it Friday Night's the relief from taking life all week And your friend's so full of life, it's simply hard to believe just think Life happens weather or not we planned for it So try to smile when Life happens again © 2009 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] BRAND NEW DAY: Everyday seems the same From the first alarm ring Until ya crawl back into bed As the grind takes effect You can safely place a bet that the complaining never ends You need to let it go and just let it lie It's now or never, cause forever's gonna be alright You think the day'll never end The rats are racing once again And then you're sunk into the fold Watch the minutes slowly pass Each hour's feelin' like the last It's time to put this thing on hold You need to let it go and just let it lie It's now or never, cause forever's gonna be alright Why don't you take it in stride One step at a time In the end it's worth the wait So simply open your eyes to a brand new day Just take a chance on life Before it passes you by Right now is never too late So simply open your eyes to a brand new day You treat each moment in your life As one you're fighting to survive But could you try another pace You wish the week would finally end But soon another one begins As you just wish your life away You need to let it go and just let it lie It's now or never, cause forever's gonna be alright Why don't you take it in stride One step at a time In the end it's worth the wait So simply open your eyes to a brand new day Just take a chance on life Before it passes you by Right now is never too late So simply open your eyes to a brand new day © 2009 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] BELIEVE: Every move that I make Is the one that could make a change Or do nothing at all Every chance is a risk That I'm willing to make Even though I may fall And now, somehow I'm alone once again, but I'm standing my ground Head on, forgone I'm one in a million, but a million strong and... For those who may have fallen For those who've lost their way For those who feel forgotten For those strong enough to believe (who believe) Every urge is curve That can you lead to an answer Or to another turn Every line is a guide On the path I'm taken Which could be better or worse And now, somehow I'm the one called upon for each and every bout And what's best of what's left Above and beyond those who've failed the test and... For those who may have fallen For those who've lost their way For those who feel forgotten For those strong enough to believe (who believe) Every risk is a gift That could write a perfect ending Or leave you searching for words And every one has a way That they would've done it better Or so they say And now, somehow I'm the one who remains in the closing round and Through it all, I've fought To be the last man standing for the final call and... For those who may have fallen For those who've lost their way For those who feel forgotten For those strong enough to believe (who believe) © 2009 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] REMEMBER WHEN: Those thousand words' this picture holds Could never quite explain All the fun we had that day The score never really mattered And we may have lost the game But we were winners all the same Goin' down that road again With those I never will forget Greeting me again with I remember when Think back how we used to play As our children do today Makin' memories that they'll remember when... How about that time we spent that Summer down the shore We probably made our parent's poor But that endless sun, and summer nights Ocean breeze and boardwalk lights Kept us comin' back for more Goin' down that road again With those I never would forget Greeting me again with I remember when Think back how we used to play As our children do today Makin' memories that they'll remember when... It seems like yesterday Yet still so far away And nothing much has changed We're the same ol' kids we were Albeit a little grey, And we're the one's who're sayin' "when I was your age..." From little league to little ones An ocean breeze to a diaper run And there is nothing I would change Those thousand words' a picture holds Are the memories that they'll unfold From the ones we took today Goin' down that road again With those I never would forget Greeting me again with I remember when Think back how we used to play As our children do today Makin' memories that they'll remember when © 2009 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] YER SO BAD: My sister got lucky, married a yuppie Took him for all he was worth Now she's a swinger dating a singer I can decide which is worse But not me, baby I've got you to save me Aw, yer so bad Best thing I've ever had In a world gone mad Yer so bad My sisters ex-husband cant get no lovin' Walks around dog-faced and hurt Now he's got nothin, head in the oven I cant decide which is worse But not me, baby I've got you to save me Aw, yer so bad Best thing I've ever had In a worl d gone mad Yer so bad Oh, but not me, baby I've got you to save me Aw, yer so bad Best thing I've ever had In a world gone mad Yer so bad © 1989 Gone Gator Music [BACK TO SONG LIST] MY EVERYTHING: You’re are I ever need You make the good times better Just say those little words And I'll be yours forever Each night I close my eyes And I just dream about you You are the love, sent from above My wish come true The one that’s meant to be Forever by my side, you're my everything A reason to believe I wish this time was endless Where do I begin When you leave me breathless Each night I close my eyes And I just dream about you You are the love, sent from above My wish come true The one that’s meant to be Forever by my side, you're my everything Each and every night When I see those eyes I fall deeper in love It's like the first time that we touched And I'm still hypnotized It warms me deep within When I hold you closer Just say those little words And I'll be yours forever © 2009 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] MOVIN' ON: Late at night, he's wandering the streets that he calls home He's got things to do, but nowhere left to go He was always one to do what he could in terms of help But he couldn't even find that for himself He's lived here for so long, he's just another friendly face Yet no one 'round here even knew his name Maybe it was fate, when we met that summer day Cause he was more then just a drunk begging for change He said, he was waiting for an answer To the question he'd been asking for so long He let go, and he found what he was looking for Deep inside, waiting all along And now he's movin' on She was barely seventeen, and a new mother to be Was she ready for responsibility? How was she supposed to raise this child all by herself? And who could she turn to when she needed help? Those who've turned their back, and those who simple walked away Supposedly friends for life, weren't there this day She let worrying consumer her 'til the day her child arrived Then it all made sense within' her baby's eyes She said, she was waiting for an answer To the question she'd been asking for so long She let go, and she found what she was looking for Deep inside, waiting all along And now she's movin' on Partied hard in college and tried to keep that frame of mind 10 years later and still wasted all the time His friend's have all moved on 'cept for the bottle by his side Tries to relive moments that have long since died His job is just a way to find a means to fuel the fire As his body aches to stop this way of live He knew the time to walk away, even that late in the game To reclaim the life he almost left astray He said, he was waiting for an answer To the question he'd been asking for so long He let go, and he found what he was looking for Deep inside, waiting all along And now he's movin' on They said, they were waiting for an answer To the question they’ve been asking for so long They let go, and they found what they were looking for Deep inside, waiting all along And now they're movin' on © 2009 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] SUNDAY MORNING: The night was never ending Did I ever get to bed? The pounding on the bar is now the pounding in my head (oh yeah) I know that something ain't right You can keep your Sunday morning Just give me Saturday night I felt like I was 21 And acted 2 or 3 It never hurt this bad The years are catching up to me (oh yeah) I know that something ain't right You can keep your Sunday morning Just give me Saturday night Take me back Before it all began I wished the night would never end Now an end would seem forgiving But that's probably not the plan (oh yeah) I know that something ain't right You can keep your Sunday morning Just give me Saturday night Now I could curse my age or even blame the lack of sleep But I can't imagine speaking if it hurts to much to think (oh yeah) I know that something ain't right You can keep your Sunday morning Just give me Saturday night Take me home © 2009 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] SACRED SOUNDS: Turn it on, tune it in and then turn it up 'Cause if I hear this song a million times It still wouldn't be enough And so I wait, through all the endless commercial breaks My patience should be rewarded with a solitary play Hey DJ, listen up, there's a caller on line 8 Please play this song one time tonight And this'll all be worth the wait And then it comes, the mindless talk up's almost done Here it is, the top 5 at 9, coming in at number 1 (Yeah, turn it up) These are sacred sounds Let's strike a chord That never lets us down (That's what I said) You hear me coming from a mile away So let your voice be heard each and every day And take my blues away These sacred sounds What's this? Oh can it be? A brand new 45 That song you know from the radio Plus another on the other side The needle's poised, words can't describe the vinyl noise And when the music starts to play it's time to revel in the joy All the records that soon became my musical degree Getting lost in every cover art just staring back at me The lineup's made, all further requests will have to wait The next hour's brought to you by this here 8 year old DJ (Yeah, turn it up) These are sacred sounds Let's strike a chord That never lets us down (That's what I said) You hear me coming from a mile away So let your voice be heard each and every day And take my blues away These sacred sounds (Yeah, turn it up) These are sacred sounds Let's strike a chord That never lets us down (That's what I said) A man preaching to the choir again So put the needle down and let the record spin Sit back, relax, and let the music be your friend These sacred sounds Browsing up and down for the ones you wont forget Every hour I spent in research for that classic mixed cassette Each song hand picked, one-by-one I'd write 'em in And keep and eraser handy in case the last one didn't fit Maybe all I'm saying's that I might have shown my age It really doesn't matter just how much the times have changed First came CD's, and then a playlist with mp3s Who cares how you're listening, the music aims to please (Yeah, turn it up) These are sacred sounds Let's strike a chord That never lets us down (That's what I said) You hear me coming from a mile away So let your voice be heard each and every day And take my blues away (That's what I said) A man preaching to the choir again So put the needle down and let the record spin Sit back, relax, and let the music be your friend (Be your friend) Let's all ensure that the music never ends...never ends © 2010 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] SIMPLE: Another night another dream Letting go is all you need And just like that we're up to speed It's simple... Takin' in the sights and sounds Just a chance to look around Pretty soon we're off the ground It's simple... Give me the sun and a summer breeze And you lying next to me That's all that I'll ever need We'll lose track of time Living in the moment you and I So simple that I never thought it'd fly The sunlight bouncing off your hair You can smell the ocean in the air Just another memory we've shared It's simple... Give me the sun and a summer breeze And you lying next to me That's all that I'll ever need We'll lose track of time Living in the moment you and I So simple that I never thought it'd fly Fly high for a single day No place that I'd rather be Close your eyes and drift away I'll go back there someday Give me the sun and a summer breeze And you lying next to me That's all that I'll ever need We'll lose track of time Living in the moment you and I So simple that I never thought it'd fly You want to steal that moment back The one you never thought you'd have That's life inside a photograph So simple... © 2010 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] THE OTHER SIDE OF YOU: I think daydreamers had something right As the window offers subtle invites To the outside, it's no wonder I Can't wait to leave It seems a faster pace is all they'll buy Running in circles, just to fall behind No reason life should be a fight For a little relief Cause it's happening right now The sun that's shining down The music that you're singing The friends who've stuck around It's the little things in life That make it all worth wild No one may be perfect And that's perfectly alright Now only you can choose So what are you out to prove, With nothing left to lose Don't cling to an excuse To live a life renewed On the other side of you It's hard to argue with the world outside Telling a story from its every sight I'm hypnotized, and that's alright Just fine by me There's much to learn from those who deal in stride The in's and out's are just a part of life So let it slide, and that should provide Just what you need Cause it's happening right now So lay your burden down Get back in the moment And spread some love around It's another chance to live The one we could forgive Life can only be as dark as The light that we're bringing in Now only you can choose So what are you out to prove, With nothing left to lose Don't cling to an excuse To live a life renewed On the other side of you Cause it's happening right now The sun that's shining down The music that you're singing The friends who've stuck around It's the little things in life That make it all worth wild No one may be perfect And that's perfectly alright Now only you can choose So what are you out to prove, With nothing left to lose Don't cling to an excuse To live a life renewed On the other side of you I think daydreamers had something right As the window offers subtle invites To the outside, it's no wonder I Can't wait to leaveÉ © 2011 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] BETTER DAYS: Here we are again The leaves have turned and the temperature's given in The nights are cold and shorter days are irrelevent All I need's a little sunshine To light the darkness in my life Take me to that place in time Where we could leave it all behind It's time for some relief The blues'll never color me It'll roll off and wash away You're invited to join this little masquerade Livin' for the ride no matter where it goes A life so high, you're never feeling low You've earned your part in this getaway Turn the music up, and tune the drama out There's no better place then here and now You've built your ship, time to sail away Let's escape, back to better days Another day is dawn The ice is thick and the snow keeps comin' down No one knows how much longer this'll stick around All I need's a little sunshine Let's pass around some summer vibes Take me to that place in time Where we could leave it all behind It's time for some relief The blues'll never color me It'll roll off and wash away You're invited to join this little masquerade Livin' for the ride no matter where it goes A life so high, you're never feeling low You've earned your part in this getaway Turn the music up, and tune the drama out There's no better place then here and now You've built your ship, time to sail away Let's escape, back to better days © 2011 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] ENJOY THE RIDE: Already behind before you start your day Run around in circles, just to circle back again A racing mind, moving forward taking two steps back Headed both directions on a one-way track You're giving up or else you're giving in You wave surrender flags and throw your hands in the air But they don't care So when it's quitting time, it's best to leave it there Cause we're so glad you're here Just kickin' back with...a cold one, and the friends I've known forever Not a care to deal with...just the music turned up loud - let the good vibes in Just let it slide, let it go, as we pass the time Living every moment that this life provides We'll be the one taking every little thing in stride Enjoy the ride The list keeps growing and your patience wears You can't finish one thing, cause there's always something else Full speed ahead, the big wheel keeps spinnin' 'round So hold on tight & keep 'yer feet on the ground As you cling to a dream of up and leavin' there It could seem like everyone's gone their separate ways When it rains, it pours - then every little thing is out of place It can knock you down when everything's gone awry Just pick it up and sigh Cause it'll be just fine... Moving forward taking two steps back But now the night is young so let's forget the past The big wheel keeps spinnin' 'round So then we'll turn it up and then paint the town Just let it slide as we pass the time Living every moment that this life provides Enjoy the ride you're by my side We'll be the ones taking every thing in stride © 2012 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] PERFECTED IMPERFECTIONS: Where do we go from here The winding road of thirty-something years With all it takes just to stand in place And I can't recall Not a story truth be told A recollection of the ones you know A familiar face I can't seem to place it Without a hint to draw upon Too many too recall Ð perfected imperfections They're with you for the haul Ð perfected imperfections We all've got one to solve Ð perfected imperfections A perfect one-for-all I don't remember back in 7th grade Hell remind me what I did today The past can stay where it's supposed to be And I'll keep moving' on And yes every rejection is A open door to what comes of it A broken heart is a brand new start when There's no more right then there is wrong Too many too recall Ð perfected imperfections They're with you for the haul Ð perfected imperfections We all've got one to solve Ð perfected imperfections A perfect one-for-all Don't ever look back Never regret Some you forgive and some you forget Time can heal But don't spend eternity counting You can waste or embrace it But either way you're gonna have to face it Every turn Brings another direction And now you're bringing up our senior year When this morning ain't so crystal clear When yesterday's still a foggy haze Then high school's all but lost I'm not the person that I was back then I've lived and learned a lot in retrospect I'm running late but it's been great man Until the next time our path's cross Too many too recall Ð perfected imperfections They're with you for the haul Ð perfected imperfections We all've got one to solve Ð perfected imperfections A perfect one-for-all Don't ever look back Never regret Some you forgive and some you forget Time can heal But don't spend eternity counting You can waste or embrace it But either way you're gonna have to face it Every turn Brings another direction - perfected imperfections © 2012 Brian Colburn [BACK TO SONG LIST] |
