Tonic – Head On Straight

Tonic – Head On Straight

1. ROSES

If you want to be my best friend

Then show it

If you want to live inside me

Don`t blow it

I don`t want to stand in line

I don`t want to waste my time

I just want to be the one

I don`t want to be around

When you come down

I just wanted you to know

The roses always grow

If you want to hear I love you

Then say it

If you want to hear I need you

The prove it

I don`t want to stand in line

I don`t want to waste my time

I just want to be the one

I don`t want to be around

When you come down

I just wanted you to know

The roses always grow

Did you think it would last forever, baby

Did you think I would drag you under

I don`t want to be around

When you come down

I just wanted you to know

The roses always

I just want to be with you

Not alone

I just wanted you to know

The roses always grow

2. TAKE ME AS I AM

I never knew my father

I never knew his pain

Or that an empty home life

Would break him down again

So when I feel like running I have to look inside

I want to find the answer

I want to break my line

Fear falls down like rain

And it makes me whole again

Fear falls like rain

Take me as I am

I`m not broken

Pieces of my life are not tokens

I want to let you know that I`m still learning

How to love again and stop hurting

I want to roll my darkness into a million suns

I need to find forgiveness when all the pain is done

I want to hear I`m sorry, I want to let you go

I have to find my own life, I want to learn to grow

Fear falls down like rain

And it makes me whole again

Fear falls like rain

Take me as I am

I`m not broken

Pieces of my life are not tokens

I want to let you know that I`m still learning

How to love again and stop hurting

It makes me whole again

Take me as I am

I`m not broken

Pieces of my life are not tokens

I want to let you know that I`m still learning

How to love again and stop hurting

3. COUNT ON ME (SOMEBODY)

I need to be around you

I want to fall into your eyes

I love to feel you close to me

But there`s no peace of mind

I live to hear you laughing

I long to feel your hands fall down

Along the side of me

A change of life is hard to find

There`s no peace of mind

if you ever need somebody

If you ever need somebody to love you

If you ever need somebody

You can count on me

So kiss me for believing

Love me now for always knowing

When to let you go

A change of life is hard to find

There`s no peace of mind

If you ever need somebody

If you ever need somebody to love you

If you ever need somebody

You can count on me

There`s no peace of mind

Change is hard to find

Count on me

If you ever need, if you ever need

If you ever need, if you ever need

If you ever need somebody you can count on me

If you ever need somebody

If you ever need somebody to love you

If you ever need somebody

You can count on me

4. DO YOU KNOW

Underneath the weight

Of a heavy sky

I will grow my wings

I will learn to fly

Cause even though my heart is

Big enough to fly away

Underneath the confidence

I will never say I`m strong enough

To be alone

Do you know do you know

Do you know how it feels to be angry

Do you know how it feels to be hurt

When you live all your life for a moment

Just to prove that you know what it`s worth

Do you know

I will show no fear

I won`t hide my scars

I will learn to give

I will love what`s ours

Cause even though my heart is

Big enough to fly away

Underneath the confidence

I will never say I`m strong enough

To be alone

Do you know do you know

Do you know how it feels to be angry

Do you know how it feels to be hurt

When you live all your life for a moment

Just to prove that you know what it`s worth

Will you trust in a better tomorrow

If you learn to forgive everyday

All the times that you thought could be trusted

In the end they could all fall away

Cause even though my heart is

Big enough to fly away

I am strong enough to be

Alone, alone

Do you know how it feels to be angry

Do you know how it feels to be hurt

When you live all your life for a moment

Just to prove that you know what it`s worth

Will you trust

Will you learn

All the times that you thought you could be trusted

In the end they could all fall away

5. HEAD ON STRAIGHT

I don`t want be the one who hurts you

I don`t want to be the one who fails

I`m keeping my head on straight

So you can trust me again

I struggled all my life with empty moments

The shadow of a hole I`d never fill

Any happiness I had was empty

It wasn`t good enough, I wanted love

I`m keeping my head on straight

So you can trust me again

I`m keeping my head on straight

So you can trust me again

I don`t want to think of life without you

I don`t want to take a step alone

It scares me to think I almost lost you

Just let me know you`re fine, I`m on the line

I`m keeping my head on straight

So you can trust me again

I`m keeping my head on straight

So you can trust me again

I`m thinking of our whole life baby

Won`t you help me find a way

I`m thinking of our whole life baby

Won`t you help me find my way….

I don`t want to be the one who hurts you

I just want to know that you`re all right

I`m keeping my head on straight

So you can trust me again

I`m keeping my head on straight

So you can trust me again

You can trust me again

Trust me again

6. LIAR

I fell down on my head

Made me start to wonder

How I`d grown so mad

Knocked me from the shit that I was under

So take another shot boy

I`m open

Nobody knows a liar

You can never break me

I`m already broken

Nobody knows a liar like I do

Sugar my love, they have done you wrong

Held you down and kept you from creating

Everything that you do takes too long

So keep in my heart something precious

Never learn to be malicious

So take another shot boy

I`m open

Nobody knows a liar

You can never break me

I`m already broken

Nobody knows a liar like I do

So take another shot boy

I`m open

Nobody knows a liar

You can never break me

I`m already broken

Nobody knows a liar like I do

7. ON YOUR FEET AGAIN

I`ll pick you up beneath the stars

When you slowly fade

Beneath the blue skies above

We`ll all look the same

You just need something

To get you on your feet again

You picked a life that you can`t trust

And it makes you mad

And all along you wonder why

You just feel sad

If you feel like love

Can get you on your feet again

You just need something

To get you on your feet again

Did they give you more than your life could keep

Does it speak to you when you fall asleep

Can you walk away from all that you know

Could you hide the strength

Would you let it show

If you feel like love

Can get you on your feet again

You just need something

To get you on your feet again

I`ll pick you up beneath the stars

When you slowly fade

Beneath the blue skies above

We`ll all look the same

8. COME REST YOUR HEAD

Trust, I know, is not such a dirty word

Trust is something that I have barely heard

Honesty is not so far away

Empty words are all you`ll have to say

We all go on

Just let me go on

Come rest your head

Come stay with me a while

You`d be better off here

Come stay with me a while

Truth, you`ll find, is the only way to live

Long for when you can learn to forgive

We all go on

Just let me go on

Come rest your head

Come stay with me a while

You`d be better off here

Come stay with me a while

Trust I know is not such a dirty word

Something that I have barely heard

Honesty is not so far away

Empty words are all you have to say

We all go on

Just let me go on

Come rest your head

Come stay with me a while

You`d be better off here

Come stay with me a while

Come rest your head

9. RING AROUND HER FINGER

She wears a ring around her finger

Shiny platinum diamond stone

Somewhere my love is hurting

She`s alone again tonight

Maybe we promised way to early

Maybe we won`t survive the road

Because back home it`s way to early

to call her on the phone

so give me love

give me fascination

give me strength that I can save my relationship

I`ve been alone before

I don`t want to be alone again

I see my life through that door

I`m gonna open up and let it in

God let me in, god let me in

So we dream about tomorrow

And we struggle for today

But somewhere we`ll find the answer

To the price we`ll have to pay

so give me love

give me fascination

give me strength that I can save my relationship

I`ve been alone before

I don`t want to be alone again

I see my life through that door

I`m gonna open up and let it in

God let me in, god let me in

There was a time that I could not believe

It`s so simple just to love and leave

It was in the end that I found my way again

so give me love

give me fascination

I`ve been alone before

I don`t want to be alone again

I see my life through that door

I`m gonna open up and let it in

God let me in, god let me in

10. BELIEVE ME

Love, I hope you won`t be late

You know, how much I hate to wait

Believe, my heart is in your hands

And our life is like a song

When you sing along

Baby let it go

Believe me, believe me

I would wait forever and more

For that open door

Believe me, believe me

Life, is more than we can know

Faith, is something we can show

I would love, I would lie

I would give, I would die

Cause our life is like a song

When you sing along

Baby let it go

Believe me, believe me

I would wait forever and more

For that open door

Believe me, believe me

Sometimes we draw the line

And people remain where they don`t belong

It so easy to say what you need

Sometimes it just goes away

When you sing along

Baby let it go

Believe me, believe me

I would wait forever and more

For that open door

Believe me, believe me

It so easy to say what you need

Sometimes it just goes away

11. IRISH

I said to me da, I said to me da, I said to me da

I`m not fit for soldier

I said to me da, I said to me da, I said to me da

I`m not fit for soldier

I said to me da, I said to me da, I said to me da

I`m not fit for soldier

I said to me da, I said to me da, I said to me da

I`m not fit for soldier

For the king he say, the king say

For now you fight or I`ll take your land away

For the king he say, the king say

For now you fight or I`ll take your land away

So over the seas, over the seas

To kill a man that I have never seen

Over the seas…..

I won`t die for England

Not for England

I said to me ma, said to me ma, said to me ma

I sail away now

I said to me ma, said to me ma, said to me ma

I sail away now

Over the seas, over the seas

Far away from my Ireland

Over the seas, over the seas

Far and away from miles of green

For the king he say, the king say

For now you fight or I`ll take your children

For the king he say, the king say

For now you fight or I`ll take your children

So they send me away, send me away

To kill a man that I have never seen

They send me away, send me away…..

I won`t die for England

Not for England

Far away from my homeland

Many miles, many miles I would roam

Far from my home

Far from my home….

Far and away…..

I won`t die for England

Not for England

12. LET ME GO

Home, home is like an open road

Where you will always find

Whatever you`ve been looking for

And grace, always in a hollow place

I will never change and I will always stay my way

People scatter, when loves the matter

I won`t let it show

Let me go

Let me go away again

Let me change my direction

I can`t take that rejection again

Let me go, let me go

I`ll find my own

Way, I never thought I`d change my ways

It was an angry thought

That made me turn the other way

And I, I wanna be like that again

When I know there`s hope

And hope will always find a friend

People scatter, when loves the matter

I won`t let it show

Let me go

Let me go away again

Let me change my direction

I won`t take that rejection

Let me go, let me go

I`ll find my own way home

Let me go

Let me go away again

Let me change my direction

I won`t take that rejection

Let me go, let me go

I`ll find my own way home
