Collective Soul Album

Oh I'm newly calibrated
All shiny and clean
I'm your recent adaptation
Time to redefine me

Let the word out I've got to get out
Oh I'm feeling better now
Break the news out I've got to get out
Oh I'm feeling better now

Oh I'm happy as Christmas
All wrapped to be seen
I'm your recent acquisition
Time to celebrate me

Let the word out I've got to get out
Oh I'm feeling better now
Break the news out I've got to get out
Oh I'm feeling better now

The world's done shaking
The world's done shaking
The world's done shaking me down

The world's done shaking
The world's done shaking
The world's done shaking me down

There's a way to carry on
To push me out then place me back where I belong
There's a way to make anew
To resurrect the wishes that I wish for you

I'm going on and on
I'm going' for the ???

There's a way to say what you say

There's a way to recognize
All the pride that wraps around for my disguise
There's a way to talk me through
To open the silence that belongs to you

I'm diggin' on and on
I'm diggin for the ???

Find some words that you can steal or borrow
Don't give it away
Save 'em up cause there's always tomorrow
C'mon c'mon

I'm going on and on
I'm diggin for the ???

Poetry of politics and lost entities
Government is loneliness on this we agree
High are the angels and low I decree
Love only burns when fueled by belief

Home, welcome home
Take a little walk, take a little walk right through our
Home, this is home
Take a little walk, take a little walk right through our... home

Climb up the mountains then slide to the seas
Beauty adores us on this we agree
God is a witness and God is a tease
Pick up your faith, yeah, everybody come with me

There once was love thrown into your room
But you never knew
A calendar of days just for you
But you never knew, never knew no
And the truth that you'll find will always be
The truth you hide

So how do you love, how do you love
When your angels can't sing, and your world is still
Lacking of me

There once were eyes that only saw you
But you never knew
A portrait of a flower in full bloom
But you never knew, never knew no
And the words that you fear will always be
The words you hear

This space where you've been living
Has gifts you've never given
That's the face you always show
Ask me for words of wisdom
Tell me of your condition
I don't know, I don't
I don't know

And the truth that you'll find will always be
The truth you hide

Well I took a little ride through the pouring rain
To think about the casualties of your exchange
Cause what you said ain't what you do
You know you live by the words you choose

Was it him, was it me
Were his lies easier than my truth to believe

Well I took a little walk through the driving rain
To catch my breath from your self-inflicted change
Cause what you said ain't what you do
I feel this storm wasn't ??? with you

And the rain comes just like a bed of nails
And the rain comes just like summer in hell

Feels like a new regime
All hail to the soul machine
Feels like what I taste
Always better than yesterday

Feels like sweet sixteen
All sugar and nicotine
It feels like ready go
I'm full throttle while the fluids flow

I said it feels like it feels like feels alright
Yeah and it feels like it feels like feels alright

Feels like a Sunday dress
I'm stained with sin but always blessed
It feels like the great escape
I love you baby but life can't wait

Feels like what I like

She said good day boy, are you ready to shake
I said I love noise and this life that it makes

See I have a line though it's subject to change
I once had a thought but then I gave it away
Yeah sooner or later I'll be perfect to stay

She said good night boy, are you feeling alone
I said I love time but never ever this long

Like the sun surely loves it's newborn days yeah
Like all oceans love their waves I'm perfect to stay

Hey baby are you listening
I've batten all the hatches down
I've taken all of your prescriptions but no remedy I've found

Chorus:
Counting the Days (yeah)
Until some freedom can scream my name
Counting the Days (yeah)
Until the gods break these chains.

hey baby are you watching
I'm saddling for your side show
I never want to become precious
This life is so touch and go

Chorus

Bridge:
Dig it, get it, dig it what your looking for?
Dig it, get it, dig it what your searching for?
Dig it, get it, dig it yeah, dig
Yeah, dig

Chorus

Whenever I taste honey from your lips
It's a moment of purpose only you can give
Whatever I hear whatever I may see
Whatever my cause, dear, I know you'll believe

Cause you're beautiful my love when I close my eyes
yeah you're beautiful my love under heaven's skies

If ever you think careless is the night
I'll comfort you with silence till the morning light
Wherever you turn, wherever you may roam
Whatever you conquer, I'll always be your home

Time, you've had more than your share of mine
I'm a criminal with no crime
Sing like a bird that is now released
Like an angel with clip-on wings

Yeah nothing that's etched in stone
See I'm already who's already gone

Love's a joke, love's a tease
Love's a cause I do believe but
Let it run now, let it run out to me

Low I can live in a sinking hole
Cause I'm as high as the grass will grow
Gone like a stage with its curtain drawn
Like the loss as of Babylon

Yeah I can mumble and talk again
But I'm a promise that's never been

Love's a thrill yeah, love's a scene
Love's a reason I believe but
Let it run now, let it run out to me

Yeah I'm coming round, this world loves me now
Feel the rhythm of changes laying down

Soon a man will kneel to pray
Soon the light will burn our shade
And with the sweet the bitter fades
So my heart and take your place

Cause I will be your force
And I will be your right
And I will watch over you like a satellite

Soon reason will have rhyme
Soon wisdom will imply
And with courage doubt subsides
So take my heart and take my pride

And I will be your side
And I will be your might
And I will watch over you like a satellite

River will flow from scenes unknown
I'll guide you through by the love I'll show
And the stars will wish upon the night
That they could have a guiding satellite
