Floating around

The weather's nice outside
and I've got nothing in my eyes
I could lift 1,000 pounds above my head
by the end of the day
I'm pretty sure I'll still be sane
unless I become delusional from ecstasy
Just floating around
and I'm never coming down
got a cold one in my hand and i feel wonderful
and if God were here right now
he'd say congrats on being found
close your eyes and rest a while inside of joy
be strong my boy
man I feel alright
as were closing out the night
everydays a bonus if you've had a friend
and by the lake or by the pool
bad thoughts are minuscule
could maybe complain, but I don't want to
and as i take another step
there's no need to catch my breath
I'm rested and i'm ready to enjoy my life
I've got all that I need
and I feel devoid of greed
I take a step outside my door and fly away

The wedge driven deeper
05:32

I don't want to be the rift inside your mind
I don't want to be the bad penny that you find
I don't want to do anything that would hurt you
I don't want to be a selfish man's design
But it's painful, it's painful
It's heartache, distasteful
the wedge driven deeper is hateful
is it your fault or mine? cause I feel like I should know
it's painful any way it goes
Doing right by you
Doing right by you
it's one of the easiest and hardest
most confusing, most rewarding things to do

My hometown
03:41

There's only one gas station and maybe only one more place that's fun
There's only one way into my hometown
There isn't much to see, but man can it rejuvenate me
Corn, lakes, and dust, but it is my hometown
My hometown, my hometown
I know which way is up in my hometown
memories make up the street
my identities beneath my feet
my hometown, I'm sure in my hometown
I hope you like drinking beer if you're thinking of coming with me here
if you don't that's okay too in my hometown
as long as you can open up
refresh your dreams and believe in love
that's the way to get the most out of my hometown
It's not that I like to live in the past,
but sometimes this world gets a little fast
I get the chance to slow it down in my hometown
If I'm not sure of who I am
I travel back to the place that I understand
where I come from that's what makes it my hometown
choice is hard responsibility too
and I want to be the best I can for you
That's why I don't mind a trip back to my hometown
first driveway with lots of cars
and I hope you're ready to trade the bars for stars
just relax sit back, in my hometown

Petal to the metal
petal to the metal man
Don't believe a word they say
not one single word they say
not one single word
What's that about love?
What's that about love?
What's that about love?
oh no
Petal to the metal ya
Petal to the metal man

Only darkness
05:20

I feel weak and I'm trying
and I'm trying
but I can't make it work
without you
without you
I'm as lonely as an insect in a rainstorm
without you
I'm separated from the dreams that I've formed
and I don't want only darkness
but sometimes that's just the way it is
without you
I feel weak and I'm trying
And I'm trying
but I still feel like a jerk
Throw me a bone
I feel poor, even bankrupt
when I can't hear your voice
please call
without you
my will is drained so that I cannot perform
without you
I've got no helping hands because my hearts torn
and I don't want only darkness
but sometimes that's just the way it is
without you

Starting to get older now, my absolutes are breaking down
my doubt is measured by the pound
there's fog around the throne
As I say I can handle it
my "what-if" thoughts say "you should quit"
their countries called "bottomless pit"
where every answers left unknown
When I'm walking all alone
what I've got to do is make it home
that'll set the tone
It's the only thing I've ever known
It's the only thing I've ever known
Stranded in the desert dry
my thirst gets worse when I ask "why?"
that doesn't mean that I shouldn't try
to make a garden grow
looking back can be hard to do
cause reflections stare back at you
you're supposed to wear a fitted shoe
it's unbearable alone
I don't want to be all doom and gloom
but possibilities can resemble tombs
if I'm shooting for the moon
I've just got to make it home
