Track Name: Changin' Tones
Changin’ Tones
by 20 Minutes to Park

It’s been a while since I sang you my song
It’s been a while since you’ve been alone

You’ve been out hedging your bets baby
Changin’ your tone
Baby, stop your fooling around
And come back home

It’s been a while since you sang me your song
It’s been a while since I’ve been alone

I’ve been out hedging my bets baby
Changin’ my tone
Baby, I’ll stop my fooling around
If you come back home
Come back home

It’s been a while since we sang our song
It’s been a while since we’ve both been alone

We’ve been out hedging our bets baby
Changin’ our tones
Baby, let’s stop our fooling around
And go back home
Baby let’s stop our fooling around
And go back home
Track Name: Australia
Australia
by 20 Minutes to Park

6 A.M. I’m waking up
I fill my cup
And pour some energy into me, well
Local news is giving me the blues
I guess I’ll have to choose
Between honesty and make believe, well

I know you’re far and gone by now
I should have bought a ticket out

It ain’t nothing like Australia
So many things I couldn’t tell you
I’m always running from the things that I’m too fearful to change, yeah
It ain’t nothing like Australia
Just living life so it can’t hold you, no, no
I’m always running from the things that I’m too fearful to change

It’s 12 o’clock, I’m skipping lunch, man
‘Cause it’s all piling up
I’m just overworked and underpaid
I know I really had it coming
‘Cause I cashed my dream in
For a coffee break and steady pay, well

I know you’re rolling windows down
I should have kept my love around

It ain’t nothing like Australia
So many things I couldn’t tell you
I’m always running from the things that I’m too fearful to change, yeah
It ain’t nothing like Australia
Just living life so it can’t hold you, no, no
I’m always running from the things that I’m too fearful to change

Oh no, no, I’m so fearful now, yeah
I’m so fearful now, fearful now, now, now, now, now
Should’ve kept my love around
Should’ve bought that ticket out
Should’ve kept my love around

it ain’t nothing like Australia
so many things I couldn’t tell you, no
I’m always running from those things, those things

It ain’t nothing like Australia
So many things I couldn’t tell you
I’m always running from the things that I’m too fearful to change, yeah
It ain’t nothing like Australia
Just living life so it can’t hold you, no, no
I’m always running from the things that I’m too fearful to change
It ain’t nothing like Australia
So many things I couldn’t tell you
I’m always running from the things that I’m too fearful to change, yeah
It ain’t nothing like Australia
Just living life so it can’t hold you, no, no
I’m always running from the things that I’m too fearful to change

It’s 6am I’m waking up…
Track Name: Love Don't Know
Love Don't Know by 20 Minutes to Park


Well I was walking
I was just walking maybe looking for a way I could own my life
I heard someone say “Look Out!!!
Look out dope before you go and trip on your own damn rope man.”
I’m still tripping on a rope

So I slid from underneath just a seconds in time
I took that old damn rope and then I threw it behind
Saying one thing I know baby when you come and go
I’ll still be towing this line dragging everyone behind

Hey baby won’t you come and love me
Come on lay me down
I don’t wanna go home
I say love don’t know what it means to be
Another tired soul looking for some peace

Well I was stumbling
S-S-Stuttering over forgotten flaws and laws of my past
I heard someone say “Get Up!!!
Get up boy and go and show that world man that you can last.”
Hey, I’m gonna show em’ I can last

So I slid from underneath just a seconds in time
I took that old damn rope and then I threw it behind
Saying one thing I know baby when you come and go
I’ll still be towing this line dragging everyone behind

Hey baby won’t you come and love me
Come on lay me down
I don’t wanna go home
I say love don’t know what it means to be
Another tired soul looking for some peace

(I said it, I don’t wanna go home)

Well I was on top
I was on top, but then I drip drip dropped to the bottom of it man
I heard someone say “Cut loose!!!
Cut loose and throw that line ashore before more start closing doors.”
Hey, they’re still slamming all the doors

And then I slid from underneath just a seconds in time
I took that old damn rope and then I threw it behind
Saying one thing I know baby when you come and go
I won’t be towing this line dragging anyone behind

Hey baby won’t you come and love me
Come on lay me down
I don’t wanna go home
I say love don’t know what it means to be
Another tired soul looking for some peace
I say hey baby won’t you come and love me
Come on lay me down
I don’t wanna go home
Track Name: Guilty Pleasure
Guilty Pleasure
by 20 Minutes to Park

There she’s walking to me
That kind of walk would make a chained man free
No time to stop and breathe
Before she’s got me down and beggin’ please

Think I’m gonna cross that line

She’s my guilty pleasure
When it comes down to it
Well that girl’s got more than I need
She’s my guilty pleasure
Well she might be the first
But she won’t be the only

Now I’m walking away
She’s keeping close just trying to get me to stay
And she knows just what to say
She’d make a sinner want to get down and pray

Now I’m gonna cross that line

She’s my guilty pleasure
When it comes down to it
Well that girl’s got more than I need
She’s my guilty pleasure
Well she might be the first
But she won’t be the only

No, no, no, she’s not the only one
(She’s not the only; she’s not not the only one)
Now she’s not the only one for me

Oh no, no, no, she’s not the only one
(She’s not the only; she’s not not the only one)
Now she’s not the only one for me

She’s my guilty pleasure
When it comes down to it
Well that girl’s got all that I need
She’s my guilty pleasure
Well she might be the first
But she won’t be the only

She’s my guilty pleasure
She’s my guilty pleasure
When it comes down to it
Well I think I just crossed that line
Track Name: Tryin' to Get By
Tryin' to Get By by 20 Minutes to Park

She said when are you gonna get your act together boy?
You know you been pullin’ me around
You know I ain’t seen much of a change and if it’s not coming soon
You can count me out

And all I had to say was

I’m just trying to get by
All I need is a little more time
I’m just trying to get by
You can bite the bullet if it will
Ease your mind

She said you’re gonna fall under dark clouds one day
Have you even thought about that? …bet you haven’t
You won’t get to think twice or hit replay
Nothing but a solitary heart in your grave

And all I had to say was

I’m just trying to get by
All I need is a little more time
I’m just trying to get by
you can bite the bullet if it will
Ease your mind

I must admit it’s hard to hide from
The perfect partner in crime
She said are you just biding your time, taking this all in stride?
You’re gonna tell me exactly what’s on your mind

But all I had to say was

I’m just tryin’ to get by
All I need is a little more time
I’m just trying to get by
You can bite the bullet if it will ease your mind
I’m just trying to get by
All I need is a little more time
I’m just trying to get by
I guess I’ll bite the bullet if it will ease my mind

She said when are you gonna get your act together, boy?
Track Name: Sweet Summertime
Sweet Summertime
by 20 Minutes to Park

She was sitting in the diner
Looking out that window bay
She said “Someday I’m gonna get out of this town and break away.”

I was sitting in the kitchen
Breathing in that morning light
I said “Someday I’m gonna get out of this town and break away.”

But oh, oh, oh, sweet summertime
(Just a growin’ old now)
(Just a growin’ old)
And oh, oh, oh, can it be yours and mine?

She packed a pillow in her suitcase
Said that “Leaving ain’t a crime” (it ain’t a crime, it ain’t a crime, it ain’t)
She swore someday that we would meet each other on down the line

I watched her walk on to that Metro
Waved a hand and hitched a ride
I swore someday that we would meet each other on down the line

But oh, oh, oh, sweet summertime
(Just a growin’ old now)
(Just a growin’ old)
And oh, oh, oh, can it be yours and mine?

(Just a growin’ old now)
Sweet Summertime
(Just a growin’ old)
Sweet Summertime
(Just a growin’ old now)
Sweet Summertime
(Just a growin’ old)
Sweet Summertime

Well I stood outside the diner after ten years had passed by
Wishing she still would be a sitting staring at that sunlit sky
And saying “Why did I only wave goodbye,
When I could have hopped the Metro so we’d share our summertime?”

Then she tapped me on the back
And there she stood with wrinkled eyes
The years had made her older with two children by her side
And she said “Why did I only wave goodbye,
When I could have hitched a ride so we could share our summertime?”

And oh, oh, oh, sweet summertime
(Just a growin’ old now)
(Just a growin’ old)
And oh, oh, oh, can it be yours and mine?

(Just a growin’ old now)
Sweet Summertime
(Just a growin’ old)
Sweet Summertime
(Just a growin’ old now)
Sweet Summertime
(Just a growin’ old)
Sweet Summertime
(Just a growin’ old now)
Sweet Summertime
(Just a growin’ old)
Sweet Summertime

She left me sitting in that diner
I was looking out that window bay
I said “Someday I’m going to get out of this town and break away.”

And I’ll break away
And I’ll break away
And I break away
Got to get out of this town
Track Name: Love Poor Soul
Love Poor Soul by 20 Minutes to Park

I’m all I’ve got to give you
You know I strived to find a song
That would dig deep inside your soul
And beg you to hold on
To me

Less the honesty and trust
Well all I need is late at night
Baby when you’re fast asleep
And you’re holding on so tight
To me

Hold on to me
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
And make this love poor soul believe

It’s the way you watch me watching you
And it’s your eyes that are making me blind
To the world beyond you
And you know you must see
The world to me
It’s you
Oh it’s you

So hold on to me
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
And make this love poor soul (believe)
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
And make this love poor soul believe
Track Name: Kick It Up
Kick It Up
by 20 Minutes to Park
Kick it up a notch
Make sure the sparks are flying
Heavy tension in the air
Baby I ain’t denying it

If you wanna romance
All you got to do is dance

She was vibing with me
From across the room I see
Take a shot of bourbon
So maybe my nerves can breathe

If you wanna romance
All you got to do is dance

But I wanna know
Who you gonna pick on the floor
The man with love
Or the man with the lust

Picking and choosing
You ain’t much the shy type girl
I can tell in your look
You’re shopping something short-term

If you wanna romance
All you got to do is dance

But I wanna know
Who you gonna pick on the floor
The man with love
Or the man with the lust
(Tell me baby I just wanna know, I got to)

Pick up pick up girl can’t you hear my lure
I’m dying with desire and baby you’ve got my cure
I’m just hoping you’re my one night love
I just wanna know, gonna take me on the floor
Gonna show me how to dance and romance

Yeah baby I wanna know
Who you gonna pick on the floor
The man with love
Or the man with the lust
I wanna know
Who you gonna pick on the floor
The man with the love
Or the man with the lust
The man with the lust
I wanna know
I got to know
I wanna know
I got to know

Mmm just tell me baby I wanna know
Track Name: Own Wind to Sail
Own Wind to Sail
by 20 Minutes to Park

Well Goodbye
Guess your old man is giving you away
You know I heard about your princess diamond
Only yesterday
I know it’s been about a year in the making now
I’m still trying to believe that you won’t be back
Somehow

It’s been so hard trying to find my way
I’ve been looking back on my past and saying maybe
Maybe that was the way, maybe that was the way
Guess I’ll have to say, I’ll say

She’s got her own wind to sail
There ain’t no way she’s coming back to this hell
Why does hell feel so damn good with you?

Should’ve hit reply to that letter you sent
Should’ve picked up that phone instead hitting end
Well I know I’ve had my chance
Guess I just want it back, I want it back, I want it back

It’s been so hard trying to find my way
I’ve been looking back on my past and saying maybe
Maybe that was the way, maybe that was the way
Guess I’ll have to say, I’ll say

She’s got her own wind to sail
There ain’t no way she’s coming back to this hell
Why does hell feel so damn good with you?
It feels good with you

It’s been so hard trying to find my way
I’ve been looking back on my past and saying maybe
Maybe that was the way, maybe that was the way
Guess I’ll have to say, I’ll say

She’s got her own wind to sail
There ain’t no way she’s coming back to this hell (this damn hell no)
She’s got her own wind to sail
There ain’t no way she’s coming back
There ain’t no way she’s coming back
There ain’t no way she’s coming back to this hell
Why does hell feel so damn good with you?
It feels good with you
It feels good with you
Track Name: She Shot Me Down
She Shot Me Down by 20 Minutes to Park

She shot me down
Down down down down
She shot me down
An arrow straight through

Oh I never knew
What a woman can do

Started deep under covers
Hot night in the fall
She Said, "baby I’ll be good for you
Just sign right here and I’ll take it all
From you, I’ll take your love from you"

Oh I never knew (I never knew)
What a woman can do

Those years passing by
Man I was wasting away
She sold my heart out right
And shot me down just the same
Girl I know I was never around
But you had my love locked away

Oh I never knew
What a woman

Girl remember when you closed your eyes, I gave my soul, gave my soul out on the bridge
I guess I never could warm that cold, cold heart, you kept locked inside, all I wanted was to live
And I tried to be around but

She shot me down

They talk about the devil
Well I was sleeping right by her side
Thinking maybe if I can please her
She might let me take back my life
Yeah I know I signed you my soul baby
But you shot me down anyway

And I never knew
What a woman can do

What a woman
Track Name: Darlin'
Darlin’ by 20 Minutes to Park

Darlin’
I’m leaving early this morning
Didn’t give you much warning
I’ll be gone ‘fore the sun has set

Baby
What have we been up to lately?
Parting waves for our safety
Or placing our last bets

Oh but when the sun don’t shine on the river bank
Well I’ll be tearing up this man I’ve made
And when the river don’t flow to the ocean
Well I’m hoping
You’ll throw a lifeline my way
Throw a lifeline my way baby
Throw a lifeline my way

Darlin’
I’m a million miles from your shelter
I ain’t seen you return one letter that I have sent

So please please
I’m tired of sitting in this passenger seat
Let me know if I should hop this train
Or get down on my knees and plead

Oh but when the sun don’t shine on the river
Well I’ll be tearing up this man I’ve made
And when the river don’t flow to the ocean
Well I’m hoping
You’ll throw a lifeline my way
Throw a lifeline my way baby
Throw a lifeline my way
Track Name: Stranger of Mine
Stranger of Mine
by 20 Minutes to Park

Stranger
I caught your smile
Let’s sit
And talk for a while
You ask
What’s there to lose?
Well I will
If you’d like to

All in my mind
Stranger of mine

Stranger of mine

Stranger
I pulled up my seat
Tell me
Where could we be?
You say
Let’s go for a drive
Well I will
What’s there to lose?

All in my mind
Stranger of mine

Stranger of mine
Stranger of mine
I caught your smile
