Entertain You

Lights on, action

I stand here for a reason

I came to move this room

From the floor to the ceiling

So, let the night begin this

Get down to business

I know you’re clocked out for the day

My job began the moment you walked in this place

It’s what you came here for

What you came here for

It’s what you pay me for

What you pay me for

(I got a job to do)

I show up-- I’m here to entertain you

I show up-- I’m here to entertain you

Okay, okay—get up

We all got a job to do

Okay, okay—get up 

I’m here to entertain you

Appetite, spotlight

I’m in love with the flavors

I jump around all night

In a room full of strangers

I got a job to move you and to amuse you

And keep you up when it’s getting late

I’ll give you something to talk about the next day

It’s what you came here for

What you came here for

It’s what you pay me for

What you pay me for

(I got a job to do)

Chorus

Showtime are you ready for it?

It’s what I came here for, to feel the buzz and the body heat

It’s what I came here for, to feel the floor pulse under me

To feel the floor pulse under me

To feel the floor pulse under me

To feel the floor pulse under me

Soak in your body heat

Chorus

Chorus

Ready To Go Again

I went away for a little too long

I held out when I should’ve been carrying on

And now I see I was so lost

I should’ve called at the very least

Would it say “unknown” on your caller ID?

Or maybe my number’s still saved....

Now I'm standing here

Hungry, and I’m ready for action

So, let me tell you I'm

Ready to jump right back in, back in... 

Yeah, I'm ready, I'm ready to go

Yeah, I'm ready to go again

Yeah, I'm ready, and I want you to know

Yeah, I'm ready to go again

Ready to go again

Took a minute, but I figured out

That no one ever really has it all figured out

Fall down, get up and repeat

Don't believe it, let me demonstrate it

I took apart who I was, and I rearranged it

I'm better than I was before

Now I'm standing here

Hungry, and I’m ready for action

So, let me tell you I'm

Ready to jump right back in, back in... 

Chorus

I had to clear my head

And find my way

Back to the start again

Yeah, I might be late

But I'm not done trying yet

Yes, I’m ready, I'm ready to go

Yes, I’m ready to go

Chorus

The Storm 

I lay on down and I hit the light

And close my eyes on a quiet night

Half in a dream and asleep until

I hear little drops on my window sill

I know that sound

And smell of daunting rain

She moves my weathervane….

She is the storm

And the calm that proceeds

The howling winds

And the still air in between

And I see

Her clouds rolling in...

With a force to knock me down

And pick me up again

She comes in quick, no warning signs

Her lightning strikes from wild skies

The things I hope are waterproof

Are tested as she rains through my roof

All I can do

Is wait for it to pass

Hold on and hope to last....

Chorus

Now the streets are flooding

And the power’s out

No use running, I'm in it now

I pull my hatch and I batten down

I face the storm and I hold my ground

Chorus

And when she leaves

I want her back again

Her storm

I took comfort in

I took comfort in

Door Closes

One day, you’re on top

Right in a good spot

And then some day you fall off

Lose all that you got 

We say hey, then goodbye

Over a thousand times

‘S’okay, it’s life 

Know this and you'll be fine

That’s how it goes 

When a door closes,

A window opens

Oh, some you can choose

And some will be chosen

When a door closes 

A window opens

(You) win some

You lose some

It’s about breaking even

So, hang on

The day’s gone

But you got the evening

It’s okay to be shut down

And locked out of where you been

Just wait and see how

You find a new way in

Chorus

It’s there, where, they close

It’s right there looking at you, the window

It’s right there, giving you air, the window

It’s right there looking at you

It’s right there looking at you

Chorus

Come With Us

Way down

Way down, are you coming with me?

I look at you

Look at me

Like you wanna go

We're gonna leave soon

You can come with us though

So aren'tcha 

Intrigued and a little bit curious  

Brand new and a little bit dangerous 

If you want some, here’s your invitation 

Take a chance, come along....

You know you can

Come with us, with us, with us

You know you can

Come with us, with us, with us

You know you can

Way down, are you coming with me?

Way down, are you coming with me?

I'm sure you got

Other things

You’re supposed to do

Water your plants

Go to work, plan a barbeque

Oh, but I got an idea

Why don't we all just leave here together

‘Cause I wanna see ya

Let your hair down, come on, ‘cause

Chorus

You know you can….

Oh, it’s time to move

You know, we can dance all night, all day

I’m on the move, always 

Honey, we can dance all night, all day

I’m on the move, always

Come dance with-a, dance with us

Come dance with-a, dance with us

Chorus

##############################################################################

With Me All Along

You’ve been with me all along

All along

Always on

My side, you’ve never gone

You’ve been with me all along

And you’ve been holding on

Holding on

For so long

When others would be gone

You stayed with me all along

You've been with me when I

Laugh or cry

Anywhere I stood

You were standing by   

With me when I fine, with me when I'm not

With me when I'm giving everything I got

With me all along, not a cameo 

Every scene, every episode

In every video

Skip no scenario 

There anywhere we go

Chorus

You’re still with me and I

Hope you stay

We've come a long way 

Since the early days

Always had a spot in the escapades

And a suitcase for the getaways

And all along you were always down

Showed up and would hang around

Singing loud 

Standing out in every crowd  

And you’re still here now 

Chorus

They’re not all like you, no

Some blow away in a fair-weather gust, disappear in a cloud of dust

Leave you in the rain to rust, drain your trust

Say you’re pretty good, but not good enough

The ones you thought you knew well, but I guess not well enough

But that’s not you

That’s not you

You never put me in the rearview

I wouldn’t be the same without you 

So, I thank you

I thank you

You never put me in the rearview and

I wouldn’t be the same without you

Chorus

##############################################################################

Holding My Breath

I’m not holding my breath on you

I’m not, I’m not

I got plenty of air to use

I got, I got

I’m not expecting a thing from you 

No, no, I’m telling you I refuse

To hold my breath on you

When you speak, I don’t believe you

You look down like I’m beneath you

But not again, I’m over it

I’m gonna cut this chord and lose connection

Time’s up on my affection

So, adios, I’m over it

(right now I save my breath for the chorus)

No more, can’t hold it in

Feels so good, I can breathe again

I’m not holding my breath on you

I’ve got plenty of air to use

I’m not expecting a thing from you 

No, no, I’m telling you I refuse

To hold my breath on you

No more time to entertain you

I’m through chasing Topanga 

It’s wearing me out, I’m over it

I like my air fresh, not into stale wind

You’re the drag that I’m exhaling

I’m better off now, I’m over it

No more, can’t hold it in

Feels so good, I can breathe again 

No more, not happening 

Feels too good, I can breathe again 

Chorus

Daylight

I see a light shine

And I wanna let it in from the outside

Feel it on my skin right away, away, away

You got what I like

And when you’re not around, I don't feel right

I could use you right now right away, away, away

Away, away, away….

Daylight

Put the sun on me now

I’m gonna soak up

What you’re giving

Daylight

There’s something about ya

When you show up

Oh, I'm living.... 

I come alive, alive, alive every time 

When you do, you do, you do, you do

I come alive, alive when I see you alive

Yes, I do, I do, I do, I do

So fine

You’re the battery in my flashlight

Giving energy to my day, my day, my day, 

All day, all day, all day

Daylight

Put the sun on me now

I’m gonna soak up

What you’re giving

Daylight

There’s something about ya

When you show up

Oh, I'm living.... 

Chorus

I come alive, yes, I do

I come alive when you do….

Daylight I take it like a drug, come on     

I try, but I never get enough, of it

When I'm down, it’s pulling me up, come on

Daylight I can never get enough of ya

Crawl through my window please

I left it open for ya

Slide in and rescue me

(It’s a little too dark in here)

Chorus

##############################################################################

Here For Now 

Roll right in then roll right out

I'm not here long

In this here town

These days I'm really not one

For settling down

Some move on

And some will stay

Dive right in

And acclimate 

But that’s not who I am

No, it’s not my place….

So, I'm around

But I'm only here for now

I'm coming in, then I'm out

I'm only here for now

I'm passing through

Gonna, gonna be gone

Soon

I’m a, I’m a lone rover

Ooo

Getta, getta move on

Soon

I’m a, I’m a lone rover

I wander through

The open range

Plant my roots on a moving train

I only want the ball 

You can keep the chain

Here right now

That’s all I know

Roll on out when it’s time to go

My house is the road ahead

And I'm always home….

So, I'm around

But I'm only here for now

I'm coming in, then I'm out

I'm only here for now

Chorus

I’ll be gone, be gone, be gone, be gone

If I come back, then I’ll hit you up

(I’ll) be gone, be gone, be gone, be gone

If I come back, then I’ll hit you up

I’m only here, I’m only here

I’m only here for now 

Then I’m on my way on out

Chorus

##############################################################################

Slow Burn

Ooh-- no, no, let’s slow down the speed

We got time, time, time

Oh, you'll get to where you need to be

In good time, time, time

Oh no, not me, I'm in no hurry

I’m a slow and steady man

So, no, no need for you to worry

We got time, time, time

Ooh ay, Ooh ay

Turn the heat down and cool it

Ooh ay, Ooh ay

Turn the heat down and cool it

Ooh-- if you wanna make something to last

It takes time, time, time

Overheat and you’ll burn out fast

In no time, time, time

No, no, not me, I'm in no hurry

I’m a slow and steady ride

Oh, don’t you see, it’s still so early

We got time, time, time

Ooh ay, Ooh ay

Turn the heat down and cool it

Ooh ay, Ooh ay

Turn the heat down and cool it

Slow low, low

Slow low, low

Slow low, low, low, low, low, low burn

Ooh ay, Ooh ay

Turn the heat down and cool it 

I’m not gonna be a flash in the pan

Or a flavor of the week

Not gonna be a one-night stand

Oh, I’ll be around a long, long time

Chorus

##############################################################################

There Will Be Another

It’s never easy

Being told

You’re not enough 

“You don't fit this mold”

That bitter feeling

(There’s) no sugar coating that

It’ll knock you down

Flat on your back

Oh no, no, no, this isn't some little love song

Or a cold shoulder, dear, for your tears to freeze on

It hurts to lose something you once had had

But take a good look around at all the good things you still have, ‘cause

There will be another

There will be another one

Something new to fall into 

And it’ll be a better one

There will be another

There will be another one

Someone you will hold on to

There will be better one

Good things will happen

And bad ones will too

So, remember that 

As they happen to you

Oh no, no, no, this isn't some little sad song

Or a cold shoulder, dear, for your tears to freeze on

It hurts to lose something you can’t have back

But take a good look around at all the good things you still have, ‘cause

Chorus

There will be another one

Right around the corner, son

It’ll be a better one

They will be a better one
