1. What I Wouldn't Do
Justin Tosco
Wipe the residue before it's too late girl
And start your step again before you fall down now
Bear the load until you can bear down on the loaded
Sling your rock and hit the love that you've been missing
Chorus:
What I, what I, what I wouldn't do
To wipe all that pain away
What I, what I, what I wouldn't do
To walk the road you've walked along
If you looked here
Would it be too much to ask
If you looked where you have been glancing past
All those boys who
Have been here for you
What I, what I, what I wouldn't do
Peel the layers and take your test this moment
Hold your head high and stare down all the twisted
Chorus
Even though you're used to leaving things
I just wanna be the last one gone
If you looked here
Would it be too much to ask
If you looked where you have been glancing past
All those boys who
Have been here for you
What I wouldn't do
For you
2. Don't Cry For Us
Justin Tosco, John Shanks, Michelle Branch
It's hard to know just what to do in times like
these
It's hard to know just what to say
And I'm just sitting here just asking myself why
It's good to know you feel the same
And I believe I want to be your everything
And anything you need.
Chorus:
Don't cry for us tonight
Don't cry we'll be all right
If I could I'd be by your side
Don't cry for us
You know that I'd give anything to watch you
sleep
I can picture you just lying there
We don't need to say the words 'cause they don't mean a thing
You know you're not alone when someone cares.
I believe, you are still my anything
And everything I need
Chorus
Built of steel, we may seem weak and rusted
But in times like these we've always won and trusted
in ourselves
Chorus
It's hard to know just what to do in times like
these
It's hard to know just what to say
3. I'm There
Justin Tosco
it took so long for us to find out
where we went wrong
but now there's no doubt
we were untrue to the way that we felt
I know that your love
is just like mine
you save it and wait for
that rainy day
Chorus:
look at the sky
one time
and you'll see it's pouring
it's time
you let me in
in case you ever need someone like me
I'm there
I lost my pride when walking with you
I saw a side that I never knew
I didn't care 'cause I was with you
I know that your love
is just like mine
you save it and wait for
that rainy day
Chorus
4. Tell Me (What I Mean
To You)
Justin Tosco, Dave Bassett
snow is falling across the streetlights
it's nothing I can change
summer left me and I wish you hadn't
before you took the chance to say
all the things you didn't say
I know the stars won't fade
but they just don't shine
since you went away
Chorus:
tell me am I a fool?
thinking that you
needed me there
maybe I'm wrong
I don't belong
acting as if I knew
what I mean to you
watching sunrise, coffee at noon
all the things that I miss now like I miss you
and I wonder what you're thinking
and I wonder what you're doing now
I wonder if the same things that got me down
are getting you down
who knows maybe I'm to blame for hanging all my
faith
on yesterday
Chorus
what do I mean to you?
5. Letter
Justin Tosco, Greg Wells
here is the letter that gives
my reasons we can't be together
you know that I don't want to hurt you
I just think it's for the better
so take your time 'cause it's alright
I'm finally leaving
just know I've thought all about it
and written down all of my reasons
I just find, there's things you were used to that
I never could do
I did try, but that's not how I live
I don't care anymore
if you think that I was in the wrong
sometimes things don't work out
you know that it's time you moved on
somewhere between nice to meet you
and we're better apart
I lost the will to see you
the way that I did at the start
I just find, there's things you were used to that
I never could do
I did try, but that's not how I live
I don't care anymore
if you think that I was in the wrong
sometiems things don't work out
you know that its time you moved on
I don't care anymore
if you needed me there all along
sometimes things don't work out
you know that it's time to move on
6. Without You with
Michelle Branch
Justin Tosco, John Shanks
it's been two weeks and three days long
I'm all alone since you've been gone
I can't keep myself from asking why
just wanna see my reflection in your eyes
just know that I'm with you
and what you feel I feel it too
Chorus:
I'm feelin' lately
I'm going crazy
wondering how I'll go on without you
I keep on trying
slowly dying
thinking of how I need you here with me
I wear your shirt, the scent of you
reminds me of the night that we become two
there's nothing else that feels the same
every day there's sun, it feels just like rain
just know that I'm with you
and what you feel, I feel it too
Chorus
if you think it's easy for me
well you're wrong
sometimes I'm weak and baby you know
that I'm not that strong
you're in new york and I'm in l.a.
there's so much to tell you, words I need to say
but your phone keeps ringing, ringing, ringing
Chorus
it's been two weeks and three days long
I'm all alone since you've been gone
it's been two weeks and three days long
I'm all alone since you've been gone
I can't keep myself from asking why
just wanna see my reflection in your eyes
just know that I'm with you
and what you feel I feel it too
Chorus:
I'm feelin' lately
I'm going crazy
wondering how I'll go on without you
I keep on trying
slowly dying
thinking of how I need you here with me
I wear your shirt, the scent of you
reminds me of the night that we become two
there's nothing else that feels the same
every day there's sun, it feels just like rain
just know that I'm with you
and what you feel, I feel it too
Chorus
if you think it's easy for me
well you're wrong
sometimes I'm weak and baby you know
that I'm not that strong
you're in new york and I'm in l.a.
there's so much to tell you, words I need to say
but your phone keeps ringing, ringing, ringing
Chorus
it's been two weeks and three days long
I'm all alone since you've been gone
7. Inside Your Mind
Justin Tosco, Dave Bassett
I know you lie awake at night
Counting stars but
You know they're only satellites
They don't hear wishes
You don't ever see
What's in front of you
Maybe eventually
You'll come around
Chorus:
I've tried, everything but somehow
You find, a way to shut me out
This time, maybe you will let me
Get inside your mind, inside your mind
Somewhere behind your silent eyes
There's a story
I swear that I can help you write
The perfect ending
You know that I believe
in every part of you
maybe eventually
you'll come around
Chorus
All your hidden passions
All your quiet fashions
All your blushing beauty
All your doing to me
Chorus
8. It Was Something
Justin Tosco
I took a ride in the back seat of her car
and we stopped at the corner to see the local bar
I saw them dance and sing all their lovely songs
and I asked myself why aren't you smiling, what's wrong
It's got something to do with not having it all
together
It's got something to do with not having it all together
Chorus:
It was something good she left behind
It was something pure she changed my mind
It was something good she let me find
Well I always get behind and I'm leaving mine
Now that I drive so slow I can't get hurt
a rear end is much better than a head on heart
I keep my mirror in focus and my head high
justincase I see you and the girls in the sky
It's got something to do with not having it all
together
It's got something to do with not having it all together
Chorus
I took a ride in the back seat of her car
9. Constellation
Justin Tosco
I set you right back in your place
and put you right back where you came
and let you think about your life
and let you realize what you're like
Oh, it's something that he didn't know
Chorus:
Did you ever want to be the only star in the constellation
Did you ever want to be the furthest from this situation
Yeah, the constellation
In these times of different moods
They come from all those interludes
Like the girl you thought you'd need
and like the man you wish you'd be
Oh, it's something that he didn't know
Chorus
You better watch, better watch
what you do
You better watch, better watch
what you say
What you say
Chorus
10. 9:14
Justin Tosco
It was 9:14 on a Monday night when I
sat alone on the couch and tried not to
think about all the things to come tried to
put behind the bad things I'd done
Everyday for two weeks before I
sat alone on the dirty floor and I
tried to write what I thought they'd hear as the
next big thing in the fashion year
I'll hold my tongue
While you hold my hand
It's time I stepped away
It's time I moved away
It's time I stepped away
It took me more than a year to feel that the
whole darn thing about as real as a
man that says that he has no pride that he would
give it up, everything inside
11. The Best That I Could
Do
Justin Tosco
Well I've been searching for a
way to write you down on my list
But now I know what it's for
it's not a resume or application form
No you're not an asterix on my resume no more
So now I'll write it down in case you need my
help
With singing all your words that raise my settled soul
And now I know the risk was worth it all the while
I just needed a way to see, to see you
Chorus:
And then I wake to find you in my tears
Waited to feel you burn inside me all these years
That's when I know, I know it all goes back to you
'Cause you are the best thing that I can do
It's hard to find something clear
when you're surrounded by clouded minds
It's better to know yourself with what little you find
all, all on your own than to
find yourself with what little they know
So now I'll write it down in case you need my
help
with singing all your words that raise my settled soul
and now I know the risk was worth it all the while
I just need a way to see, to see you
Chorus
One more day
One more day to show them
One more day
One more day to show that I'm not fazed
and I won't wait one more day
