Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Time to do the yardwork
Weeds are growin' high
There's potholes in your yard
And all your flowers die
Watch your step for landmines
Hidden in the grass
And the cute, little bunnies
That'll bite you in the ass
But it's home
Home
Build that massive swing set
Your kids think it's the best
But just watch where you're playin'
To avoid the hornet's nest
And when you let your dog out
It's best to just stay put
If you chase her when she's naughty
You'll get a broken foot
But it's home
Home
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Home, home - a place of our own
Home, home - a place to grow
Home, home - a place to cry
Home, home - a place to try
Home, home - a place to laugh
Home, home - a place to love
And inside of your castle
So many things will break
Every faucet leaks
Bugs to exterminate
The floors always look dirty
Even when they're clean
And you won't see the asbestos
That's in the air you breathe
But it's home
Home
Financially you're drowning
Work three jobs to stay afloat
Depressed 'cause 'nothin's free
And pissed off that you're broke
But wait there's more surprises
Just when you think you've won
All projects lead to more
Enjoy them when you're young
And at home
Home
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Home, home - a place of our own
Home, home - a place to grow
Home, home - a place to cry
Home, home - a place to try
Home, home - a place to laugh
Home, home - a place to love
Doo doo doo doo doo doo

We had a past and we had it good
Handled things the way we knew we should
Lookin' at the people we've grown to be
All the time went by so far from me
But we're friends, the great thing is we're still friends
So now you call me up and we talk about them
Found it in ourselves to love again
I'm still wondering how I'm supposed to feel
Try to be a person that I know is real
Myself, I'm learning to be myself
The heart that bleeds, the open sore
The pain inside that we endure
The question that we can't ignore
If there is love, why ask for more
More is not enough
Love leads back to us
Remembering things so long ago
The smiling face I used to know
Part of me wants another yesterday
I want the fun and games we used to play
But it's wrong, to have that now would be wrong
Still confused as to who I am
Just a little boy trapped inside a man
I wish I knew how to handle this
It's her I'm with, but it's you I miss
You see, I'm learning how to be free
The heart that bleeds, the open sore
The pain inside that we endure
The question that we can't ignore
If there is love, why ask for more
More is not enough
Love leads back to us
So we build a bridge between our roads
Further across and apart we grow
Always know that I'll always care
If it makes you happy then I'll be there
For you, I'm always there for you
Though time caused pain, time also healed
These feelings I have must be concealed
I don't want to run the new "us" we've made
I know I left, but I should have stayed
By you, I should have stayed by you
The heart that bleeds, the open sore
The pain inside that we endure
The question that we can't ignore
If there is love, why ask for more

Now it's time for bed
Can't we play instead
"Rest your sleepy head
I must go," you said
Didn't know it then
I dreamed in shades of red
Oh…hey
Whoo aah
Oh…hey
Whoo aah
Oh…hey
Whoo aah
Oh…hey
Woke up and then I knew
My worst fear came true
Mom and dad are through
Not sure what we'll do
But when I'm missing you
I'll dream in shades of blue
Oh…hey
Whoo aah
Oh…hey
Whoo aah
Oh…hey
Whoo aah
Oh…hey
I step into the light
Dream in shades of white
And hope for one more day
Dream in shades of grey
I want my family back
Dream in shades of black
Now I've made nineteen
Got a new routine
Work on my self esteem
And keep my conscious clean
But when I'm torn between
I dream in shades of green
Oh…hey
Whoo aah
Oh…hey
Whoo aah
Oh…hey
Whoo aah
Oh…hey
I step into the light
Dream in shades of white
And hope for one more day
Dream in shades of grey
I want my family back
Dream in shades of black
I still cling onto the best parts of our past
I grew up way too fast
I think about the times we danced and laughed
I thought that's supposed to last
Oh…hey
Whoo aah
Oh…hey
Whoo aah
Oh…hey
Whoo aah
Oh…hey
I step into the light
Dream in shades of white
And hope for one more day
Dream in shades of grey
I want my family back
Dream in shades of black

The Fortuner

Two can live as cheaply as one
But you'll only live half as long
When indecision is your only key
To flexibility
I don't know what wisdom I may bring
Some find hope in meaningless things
Maybe someday this will comfort her
I'm the fortuner
Yeah
Whoah
Here contains everything you need to find the glow
Open up and find an answer you already know
Failure is the mother of success
Superstitious notions are best (I am blessed)
Maybe someday this will comfort her
'Cause I'm the fortuner
Yeah
Whoah
Here contains everything you need to find the glow
Open up and find an answer you already know
You already know the answer
I'm the fortuner

The Longest Season
05:52

Wide awake tonight
Waiting for a sign
To feel you – near again
Find a place to hide
Can't let them see me – cry again
Then I get to thinking
I really can't believe you're gone
Seems the leaves just fell too fast
We'll never get that
Last embrace again
The colors only last awhile
Look at the trees and
Force a smile again
Then I get to thinking
How can a season be so long
And I get to feeling
That you would want me to move on
You can say the measure of a man
Is based on his success
You can see it in a fancy home
Or expensive car I guess
But the real measure of a man
Is one that you can never spend
Had a dream tonight
It was spring and I heard your voice again
Then I get to thinking
That no one's ever really gone
Snowfall and icicles
Frost on a windowsill
It hits me once again
The sting of winter air
Reminders are everywhere
Then I get to thinking
Even though the winter has been long
It was the seasons
Of your life that made me strong
You can say the measure of a man
Is based on his success
You can see it in a fancy home
Or expensive car I guess
But the real measure of a man
Is one that you can never spend
It's the way your kids describe you
When they're talking to a friend
To a friend
You can say the measure of a man
Is based on his success
You can see it in a fancy home
Or expensive car I guess
But the real measure of a man
Is one that you can never spend
It's the way your kids describe you
When they're talking to a friend
To a friend
