Tell Me Why 03:54
I'm headed out to Brooklyn Gotta find myself a job And spend my nights, working on a dream Gotta find a new apartment Some place I can't afford and hope it isn't too far from the train Tell me Why.... Did I.... Have to try? Cause a song called to me, and I'll answer faithfully What if I don't get this chance again? A year now has passed since I've seen my father's house I'm going home to welcome back the spring I'm gonna walk through the garden Play a song out on the porch A week goes by and I'll be gone again. Tell me Why.... Did I.... say goodbye? Cause a song called to me, and I'll answer faithfully What if I don't get this chance again? Yes it all comes to me, and I accept it thankfully Who knows if it's going to come again? I've been getting fat here on free drinks and dinners Come the 5th, my rent is overdue Tell me Why.... Did I.... Have to try? Cause a song called to me, and I'll answer faithfully What if I don't get this chance again?

She Said No 04:17
SHE SAID NO VALERIE MIZE Standing out in the parking lot the last night we ever met asking why is he back again, why haven't you kicked him out yet? I said, "Hey, I've got the solution; Why don't you come with me?" She said, "That would only cause confusion, 'cause here's where I've gotta beeee" I'd never pleaded with another person for anything before I wanted to pull her in from the tide and bring her back to shore I saw in her eyes she wanted to go. (Or maybe that was in mine) I knew in my heart that when she said no, I was running out of time I said, "Just get in the car It's time to decide who you are I can take you away from this mess, All you've got to do is just say yes, So, come on now, it's time for us to go..." But she said no. I ran out of words and just repeated myself, knowing that she'd made her choice I tried to keep the sound of desperation from creeping into my voice I gave her a hug, I opened the door knowing it was time for goodbye It took everything that I had in me not to look her in the eye I thought, "Just get in the car It's time to find out who you are you can drive away from this girl even though she changed your world as I left I thought she will never know .." 'Cause she said no. Just get in that car the highway doesn't care who you are You can drive away from this girl even though she changed your world and as I left I thought maybe someday she'll know, even though she said no Just get in the car the highway doesn't care who you are You can drive away from this girl even though she changed your world and as I left I thought she will never know 'Cause she said no

Downtown Train by MIZE Headed out alone again Late night on a downtown train You're out on the Frisco Bay Silver moon and shades of gray And I'm rocking back and forth, Saying what am I here for I wanted so much more but I had to do it in my own way I went East and you went West We decided this was best Put the whole thing to the test Still in love, I must confess that I'm rocking back and forth Saying what am I here for I wanted so much more but I had to do it in my own way Had to do this my own way Had to do this Now I'm navigating troubled waters I am navigating troubled waters I am navigating troubled waters I am navigating troubled waters And I am rocking back and forth Saying what am I here for I wanted so much more but I had to do it in my own way It'll push and pull you down, but don't you dare back down you know you need this now Just gotta give it another day Got to give this one more day
