Track Name: Nobody Could Change Your Mind
When you wear your black sunglasses 
Nobody Could change your mind
You are up for the snitch of the century
nobody could change your mind
I never bought the connection
The connection is made, couldn't you say?
But we could all see it coming along
Nobody Could Change your Mind

I have to wonder what you say to yourself
I have to wonder what your saying to me
I sat up in my bed when they called me up and said
they saw you walking on the Boulevard Saint-Denis (and you were)
Making a face, you were stabbing at the sidewalk
You got somebody to give you the time
But we could all see it coming along
Nobody could change your mind

outro:
There was a message from your sister and christina to me
(nobody could change your mind)
They said you really don't need those glasses to see
(...)
And that you never will admit when your decisions are wrong
(...)
But we could all see it coming along
(...)
You should see if you can remember any numbers at all
(...)
Before the haze sets in and there's no one to call
(...)
And you've been keeping up appearances for ever so long
(...)
But we could all see it coming along
(...)
Track Name: When They Fight, They Fight
When they fight, they fight
And when they come home at night they say,
"i love you, baby."

Was it too much too soon,
Or too little too late?
He got the message she left on his car, in the rain.

And then the words they come to you,
driving away.
You just can't let it go.

And when they fight, they fight,
And when they come home at night they say,
"i love you, baby."

And when it all comes crashing down,
what can you do,
to find what you're looking for?
And then the words will come to you,
driving through the rain.

But there'll be no one there to say them to anyway.
Track Name: Our Time (2 Shine)
Is that your girl? she tries so very hard.
When it gets late at night, does she not wonder where you are?

And in the future, there'll be cars that fly.
And i'll bet that she'll have found another guy
And she will look at you

Is that your girl, she laughs just like the rest.
She dresses nice at night, she's got those jewels across her chest.
And she will make you sorry.
This time of night you see that she's already
Found another you.

You got the message riding late at night.
Was getting dark but you could sitll make out the line,
"You'll be back soon."
Track Name: It Keeps You Up
You are the first in your me parade.
You're getting older, they stay the same.
Your funny look and your jealous eyes.
They can't relate to a thing you say.

When all in all is all we are
May not get you very far.

It keeps you up at night,
how did they by their way into you?

We heard you first on the radio
You complicate the material.
How can it be that we'd get there first?
It was a lie, it was a lie just to say the words.

When your grass is painted green,
you'll get the taste of what we mean.

It keeps you up at night,
They sleep inside your living room.

We still remember things you said,
when your face was turning red.
Track Name: These Habits
You see somebody standing next to you, you come and go like fashion comes across
And when the solitude gets to you, get yourself to Pensacola and wash yourself off

There is nothing worse than waiting around
You can tell from looking at me that these habits are so far down

I saw the two of us playing cards in the dark, I said 'I guess I must be here'
And when I offer an apology back, my sister says I'm insincere

There is nothing worse than waiting around
You can tell from looking at me that these habits are so far down
There is nothing worse than waiting around
You can see from looking at me that these habits are so far down
