All muddy water All look the same All muddy water All look the same You bit my lip You kissed me so hard Didn't know what I felt when you walked out my backdoor through my backyard So I drive and I drive Through the streets I know Hoping something will help me remember where I thought I was going All muddy water yeah All look the same All muddy water yeah All look the same Trains run on time Going from here to somewhere I used to know all the names of the faces that I used run into there And when a friend a good friend becomes a stranger Somehow that stranger becomes a ghost All muddy water mmm All look the same All muddy water All look the same I was always old enough to Sing along to the big kid's song Now we say it don't mean nothing Knowing if something's right or wrong Red and black Yellow into silver Dripping from a canvas like coffee from a cup Yesterday's trouble is somebody else's now Can't try to stop it so much as you try to rise above it somehow All muddy water All look the same All muddy water yeah Somehow All look the same

Wheelhouse 03:19

Looking you over checking you out I never had a doubt It's in the wheelhouse Licking my lips Ready to pounce Bout to hit it a mile It's in the wheelhouse None of that hesitation Picking up all the signs Swinging out for the fences Lay it on the line Gonna be fun Knowing for sure All we can do is score It's in the wheelhouse Ain't gonna worry Ain't gonna cry Don't even have to lie It's in the wheelhouse None of that hesitation I'm picking up all the signs Swinging out for the fences Lay it on the line Gonna be the right time Gonna be tonight Gonna be the right time Right time Right time I could be an average Joe You wouldn't even know It's in the wheelhouse Over your head into the dirt I'm gonna make it work It's in the wheelhouse None of that reservation Throwing out all design Swinging out for the fences Lay it on the line

Stars 03:22
lyrics

Stars Burning overhead Falling far away Where you are Reach for me I feel your galaxies Other worldly Golden arms Did you ever see the sun at night? Did you ever see the moon so bright? Don't you know we're made of stars? Don't you know how you pretty you are? Heavenly How you look to me See how high we are From the ground Reach for me I feel your gravity It's our energy That goes on Did you ever see the sun at night? Did you ever see the moon so bright? Don't you know you're made of stars? Don't you know how you pretty you are? Sometimes the city lights overtake you Some nights I lie awake and thank you Stars Burning overhead Falling far away Where you are Did you ever see the sun at night? Did you ever see the moon so bright? Don't you know we're made of stars? Don't you know how you pretty you are?
