1. By Popular Demand
They were our band, oh we loved their songs
They told us of all their rights and wrongs
We followed each one like he was our best friend
We mourned on the day they said it had to end
Goodbye seemed to mean forever
But fate’s brought them back together
They’re here for more than just a one night stand
Here for more than just a helping hand
This time our wish will be their command
Together again, by popular demand
Each of them read about the club’s last night
And headed to town, expecting one last sight
They were amazed, each one had come around
They buried the past in their common ground
Goodbye doesn’t mean forever
‘Cause fate means you never say never
They’re here for more than just a one night stand
Here for more than just a helping hand
This time our wish will be their command
The boys in the band, by popular demand
They’re here by popular demand
2. Go-To Guy
It’s Friday night, she calls up, wondering if I’m stopping by
Well I don’t know, too soon to tell
Depends how long my friends and me hang out
(She doesn’t say that she’ll wait up for you) but I know she will
(She doesn’t give a time when it’s too late)
We have an understanding
For satisfaction, I know I’m her go-to guy
I’m her go-to guy
At other times, she doesn’t call; I’ll bet she has some other man
Who takes her out, meets her folks, and tells her just how special she can be
(He thinks in time that they’ll get physical) but she doesn’t have to
(He handles all her wants and needs but one)
He doesn’t have an understanding
For satisfaction, she has me as her go-to guy
I’m her go-to guy
Sometimes I think about what it must be like to be with only her
Every night and every day
It might not be so bad to have someone who’s always there for you
(But then you’d be living on her schedule) I wouldn’t like that
(And then she’d try to tell you what to do)
I don’t want to work around it
I don’t think I’ll even bother to deal with it
We have an understanding
For satisfaction, we’re both better off if I just stay her go-to guy
Just be her go-to guy
Someday I know we’ll say goodbye
But for now I’m still her go-to guy
I don’t wanna confuse her
I’d be asking to lose her
I’ll just try to amuse her
And keep my place as go-to guy
3. Plausible Deniability
Within the confines of reasonable doubt
You always seem to have some sort of explanation
Knowing that I can’t prove otherwise
It must be unconscious motivation
(“There was no time” “It’s no big deal”)
Well I think I’ve heard that one before
(“I didn’t know” “It’s not my fault”)
It doesn’t matter, if it’s logical
As long as it seems like something I think you’d do
Then you have plausible (deniability)
Avoiding all (responsibility)
Free of all (culpability)
Convenient fiction for my benefit
Yet I convince myself, it could be true
And so I never can say to your face
“I’m done with the lies. I’m finally through.”
(Falling under your same old spell)
Overtures falling on willing ears
(The pattern repeats itself)
I can’t break the cycle without the proof
I can’t escape the hold you have on me, as long as I believe
You still have plausible (deniability)
A statistical (possibility)
Staving off my (incredulity)
How long can I fool myself? Delude myself? Keep hurting myself?
How long can I fool myself? Over and over and over again
4. Back To Me
Don’t feel so resigned; trust me, girl, trust me, girl
The stars have realigned; I’m hoping you can see
It’s part of fate’s design to lead you girl; heed it, girl
You’re winding your way back to me
I remember the first time
You walked into the room and sat next to me
A moment so sublime
A day forever burned into my memory
I replay it constantly
He deserves to be maligned; to deceive you girl, then leave you girl
Not deaf or dumb, just blind, ‘cause he could never see
The gem he left behind – you sparkle girl, you’re radiant, girl
And you’re winding your way back
If we reunite, I wanna treat you right, each and every night
I’ll be your leading light, you can hold on tight ‘cause I’ll be in your sight, uh huh
I give my guarantee; you’ll be happier with me
I remember the last time
You walked out of the room; you’d said goodbye to me
I knew it would be an uphill climb
For you to come to terms with my treachery
Now there’s a second chance for me
‘Cause if we reunite, I know I’ll treat you right, each and every night, uh huh
I’ll be your leading light, you can hold on tight ‘cause I’ll be in your sight, uh huh
I give my guarantee; you’ll be happier with me
Don’t feel so resigned; trust me, girl, trust me, girl
The stars have realigned; I’m hoping you can see
It’s part of fate’s design to lead you girl; heed it, girl
You’re winding your way back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
5. See It Through
Sometimes when I am tired and weary
And the world around me seems so dreary
I just turn to you
I know I won’t stay sad and lonely
I’m blessed to have my one and only
And we’re gonna see it through
We’ll do what we have to do
(People talking, they think this won’t last)
They ought to keep it to themselves
(People judging, they may not approve)
We don’t need to try and please the public
Our commitment is for just we two
Here’s something that they find surprising
We’ve learned the art of compromising
It’s all about me and you
At times when others simply break up
We talk, and then we kiss and make up
‘Cause we’re gonna see it through
It’s our singular point of view
(Pressures mounting, how to make ends meet)
Together we will find a way
(Stress is rising, how to keep your head)
We’ve worked on our communication
Our respect and trust are mutual
And it feels so good
Knowing that you’ve got my back as I have yours
Yes it feels so good
To know you’d go to bat for me as I would do for you
And it feels so good
To know I can confide in you as you do me
Yes it feels so good
To know we’ll take on whatever fate brings us
Through and through
We two will see it through
We’ll sort through all of life’s confusion
We’ve both come to the same conclusion
We’re gonna see it through ‘til the end
6. Hometown
Been more than we can stand, overworked, undermanned
We’ve hung tough, but enough’s enough
In need of a familiar place
Something more than just a change of pace, an inviting space
Our relief is mere hours away
Let’s hit the road, we can get there today and feel alright
We’ll dance tonight, forget all we’ve been through
The band’ll play that song, we’ll shout out a verse or two
Lifted up by friends who never let us down
Back in our hometown
Ridin’ ‘round the neighborhood
Looks mostly like we thought it would, the test of time withstood
Scanning through my memories
Mini-documentaries of life gone by before you and I
Details change, buildings come and go
There’s one constant – the people we know, they make it alright
We’ll dance tonight, bring back those old moves
The band’ll play that song, the one that really grooves
Lifted up by friends who never let us down
Back in our hometown, back in hometown
What’s lost is found when we’re back in hometown
Maybe we’ll move back, get our lives on track
A new perspective, and a new directive
Would it be the same? We play a different game
Would we lose or win? Last through thick and thin?
We know when we visit we always fit right in
It’s back to the grind, somehow we don’t mind
We’re recharged, troubles don’t loom so large
Not quite a vacation, it was more like mental medication
Much less frustration
And though the tension will come back someday
Anxiety and dismay
It’s nice to know relief is hours away
We’ll dance all night
Forget what we’ve been through
The band’ll play that song, we’ll shout out a verse or two
Lifted up by friends who’ll never let us down
Back in our hometown, back in hometown
What’s lost will always be found when we’re back in hometown
7. Road of rage
Entry in the final stage Into the setting sun
Headed down the road of rage where no victory is won
Leaders talk about destiny when the sacrifice is done
So sure the people will all agree
They must finish what’s begun, one by one
Further down the road of rage and there is no end in sight
Unwilling to disengage and trade the darkness for the light
They surge, counting the casualties for the glory and the might
Small kings, impressed by their majesties
Moving rook and pawn and knight, hail the fight
In blood the vengeance will be satisfied
In flood the anger will be amplified
Drowning out the voice of reason
Disregard the change of season
The triumph will never be, never be denied
Lost along the road of rage, but not off the beaten track
No matter which way they go, there is no turning back
Heroes talk about destiny when the sacrifice is done
But first the people must all agree
They must finish what’s begun, what’s been done, everyone, one by one
8. Capitalize on that
She’s leaving town, I got the word from her best friend
She’s heading for any place where her heart can mend
Every face she sees reminds her of what she’s lost
She can’t help but cry, even though she said goodbye
Now we all knew their fire would burn out someday
Someday is now, and she has finally turned away
It’s the moment you said you’ve been waiting for
If she was worthy of unrequited love
Then it’s a matter of fact, It’s time to act
You better capitalize on that
The odds are good that she’ll concur
I know that there’s a chance that you’ll fall flat when you tell her
But I’m still telling you to capitalize on that
No time to tweet, write a blog, or chat
If she’s been worth the wait, then don’t you hesitate, go tell her
Let me guess – you’re gonna say that it’s too soon
And you can’t leave right now, it’s inopportune
This is one time that your heart should rule your head
You have a chance to win, It may not come again
You better capitalize on that
She has no clue what you’d prefer
No time to have your speech down pat, just tell her
You know you’ve got to capitalize on that
There’s the ring, toss in your hat
A dramatic pause will get you no applause ‘cause you’ll lose her
Tomorrow she’ll be gone
For so long you’ve been dreaming of a love so strong that she’s deserving of
Right or wrong, you’ve got to make the first move
You’ve got something to prove
It’s time to show you can take the initiative
There’s no guarantee that you can change her mind
But she’ll hear the news, she’s got something to lose
You’d better capitalize on that
Don’t let your fear be a saboteur
Well there’s a chance that you’ll fall flat when you tell her
But I’m still begging you to capitalize on that
It’s about time she knew where you’re at
If she’s been worth the wait, then don’t you hesitate, go tell her
Go now, tomorrow she’ll be gone
9. TBD
Let’s get out of here to someplace where we can’t be found
Leave your cell phone there, I don’t want anyone to track us down
We need an escape from the day-to-day trivia
It dominates us so much that we’ve lost touch with each other’s needs
The life we built is crumbling, it’s tumbling, it’s humbling
It’s time to stop our stalling
We make a stand or we’re falling down
Tell me that you’re coming, coming ‘round
We’ll take a boat or train, or stick with a car and plane
I don’t care how we go, I just want to know I’m your priority
We’ll head for safe and warm, that’s a good direction
I don’t care where we go, I just want to focus on you and me
Remember how it started? We couldn’t wait for our next date
Rearranging schedules
Feeling like it was our fate to be together for all time
Now should be no different
Our love can still be in its prime
I’m waiting, please say you’ll come with me
All I need is yes, the rest can stay TBD
10. Rare, Uncommon, Extraordinary
The truth won’t hide, the mirror never lies
You hate your hair, your skin, your teeth, your eyes
It’s a fact of life: everybody dwells
We find ourselves wishing to be somebody else
It takes some time to be comfortable, accepting who you are
You feel like a loser, friend requests declined
You can’t talk to them, in person or on-line
Your height, your weight, and the clothes you wear
They’re judged by people who just don’t care
It takes some time to shrug them off, and let them fade away
Don’t be afraid if you don’t stand out
I know it seems a little scary
Don’t think your tale is cautionary
You must break free from your self-doubt
It’s a burden you don’t have to carry
‘Cause you’re rare, uncommon, extraordinary
On Saturday nights, you find yourself alone
Invisible, separate and unknown
A social life can be an uphill climb
But it’s not so bad to have personal time
Leave the small talk and pleasantries for the ones who’ll fall behind
If I might offer a piece of advice
Your sense of humor is your secret device to preserve your sanity
And keep you nice and safe from turning into one of them
The day will come when you won’t feel so resigned
Then you’ll see someone that’s in this state of mind
And you can say to them
Don’t be afraid if you don’t stand out
I know it seems a little scary
Don’t think your tale is cautionary
You must break free from your self-doubt
It’s a burden you won’t have to carry
‘Cause you’re rare, uncommon, extraordinary
11. Some Other Place Or Some Other Time
Sometimes I cannot help but wonder if you see things as I do
We never seem to have a problem talking about everything
I’m sure that you and I could make a happy life together
In some other place or some other time
It’s not that we’re unhappy with our current situations
It’s not that we’ve been looking for upgrades, or improvements
We seem so compatible, together we’d be well-suited
In some other place or some other time
Some other place where we have no commitments
Some other time when no one makes quick judgments
Some other place we’d have no fear to enter
Some other time when we are front and center
Sometimes I cannot help but wonder if you see things as I do
Can you envision us together, or is it my imagination?
I know that I would want to find out in other circumstances
In some other place or some other time
In some other place, in some other lovely place
In some other place or some other time
12. We Were Only Having Fun
Sometimes I cannot help but wonder if you see things as I do
We never seem to have a problem talking about everything
I’m sure that you and I could make a happy life together
In some other place or some other time
It’s not that we’re unhappy with our current situations
It’s not that we’ve been looking for upgrades, or improvements
We seem so compatible, together we’d be well-suited
In some other place or some other time
Some other place where we have no commitments
Some other time when no one makes quick judgments
Some other place we’d have no fear to enter
Some other time when we are front and center
Sometimes I cannot help but wonder if you see things as I do
Can you envision us together, or is it my imagination?
I know that I would want to find out in other circumstances
In some other place or some other time
In some other place, in some other lovely place
In some other place or some other time
