LYRICS::: I wear my Birks ‘round the house ‘cause they feel good on my feet One step out the door and I’m out, walking down the street I don’t feel alone cause I smile at everyone I meet My headphones on, I’m rocking out, stepping on every beat Mr. Sir is such a kid, the nicest kid in town He makes friends and passes joy to everyone around If you’re feeling down just ask yourself, “what would he say?” If Mr. Sir were here he’d brighten up your day So try to be like him and pass it on ahead It’s possible someone needs to hear just what you said Mr. Sir is such a kid, the nicest kid in town He makes friends and passes joy to everyone around Mr. Sir is such a kid Mr. Sir is such a kid, oh Mr. Sir is such a kid, the nicest kid in town

Slow, this song is slow But it has a glow That reminds me of snow, oh-h Hey, I'll stay away, Because you may Have trouble with the fray I bet you think that This song is slow, and Where it goes, you may not know, until it happens, Ooh Slow down, slow down baby Shirt, that's a really nice shirt It would look a lot worse If you threw it in the dirt, oh-h And, if you trip and land Maybe break your hand And have to start a band, oh-h I bet you think that (in addition to the fact that this song is really slow) We're not the right match But where we'd go, you may not know, until it happens, Ooh Slow down, slow down baby Slow down, slow down baby Slow down, slow down baby Do you remember who Saved you at the zoo And said "I do, have a really nice shirt, ooh, a really nice shirt"?

It’s been ages, so many pages I’ve been turning over since you left There’s still these white-hot coals of memories Burning holes inside my chest And I hate it, that even lately You’ve been popping up inside my head There must be something out here that can set me free But I haven’t found it yet Hard for me to see, the reasons why But I know I gotta bleed, until I’m dry Yeah all I really need is a little time, a little time Heart sinks to my feet, and I start to cry But we all gotta feel, so I let it ride Yeah all I really need is a little time, little time Ain’t the first time nor the last time So I guess I know it’s true That the next time that you see me, I’ll probably be Running from something new Running from something new That’s just the way I do Caught in a loop, I can’t seem to break myself through I’m running from something new Don’t like it, but it’s the truth I’m trying to find what to do My mind is all I got left to lose Yeah, yeah All I’ve got left to lose Running from something new Yeah yeah, no I remember, last December Just how good you were to me Like a highlight reel of our memories that keeps playing on repeat When it’s tender, hard to measure How much more it’s gonna be I’ll admit I know I got a tendency, to suffer longer than I need Hard for me to see, the reasons why But I know I gotta breathe, and shut my eyes Yeah all I really need is a little time, and to look inside I focus on the lows, deep inside my mind ‘Cause I know that if I don’t, I’ll be fucking blind Yeah all I really need is a little time, little time Ain’t the first time nor the last time So I guess I know it’s true That the next time that you see me, I’ll probably be Running from something new Running from something new That’s just the way I do Caught in a loop, I cannot seem to, cannot seem to break through (can’t seem to break myself through, I’m) Running from something new Don’t like it, but it’s the truth I’m trying to find what to do My mind is all I got left to lose Yeah, yeah All I’ve got left to lose Running from something new Yeah, yeah Oh Something’s got to change Can’t go on feeling this way One day at a time Getting out of my mind ‘Til I feel okay Yeah, Woah Running from something new Don’t like but it’s the truth Caught in a loop, I Cannot seem to, cannot seem to break through Running from something new Don’t like it, but it’s the truth I’m trying to find what to do My mind is all I got left to lose Yeah, yeah All I’ve got left to lose Oh Running from something new Yeah, yeah (*beautiful vocal ad-lib, guitar solo*)

Taking roadtrips in the car Destination near or far And all the world is passing me by I'm just hoping I can make it on time Oh, I've Really Missed Shakedown Street Oh, I've Really Missed Shakedown Street Really miss the hippies trying to sell me weed, Oh, I've Really Missed Shakedown Street Pulling up into the lot Pop-top showing us to the spot And all I want is one tye-dye And a grilled cheese with bacon in every bite Oh, I've Really Missed Shakedown Street Oh, I've Really Missed Shakedown Street I'm sorry sir, don't have no scissors for your sheet Oh, I've Really Missed Shakedown Street (rhodes solo for the ages) In the backseat moving slow Brain still buzzing from the show And I might be ready to get some sleep, but I, I already miss Shakedown Street Ooh, oh-h Nothing's shaking on Shakedown Street, Used to be the heart of town...........

I'll bet you think you were the one Who got away and I was done But what you've yet to see You didn't get the best of me I may have made a few mistakes Believe me, there was growing pains When there was nothing left to say You just got up and walked away You gave up too soon to see You didn't get the best of me If only you could know me now You'd think to yourself and wonder how I could have changed so much For the good Our love was due to run it's course Try not to feel or show remorse I don't really care if we ever meet (Again, ah-h) You didn't get the best of me You didn't get the best of me You didn't get, you didn't get the best of me

I had a dream last night When I awoke I saw myself in a different light Saw a child in pain Barren-faced in a family picture frame Bleeding eyes, deep inside, burning through the back of my skull Bleeding thighs, keep in mind, know that I've been there before The cycle repeats How can I say, "it's not the world you need to be afraid of" "It's your father and the very tissue that you're made of" Oh "Your own flesh and blood" How could I ever trust myself to be the one To be there for a son, or daughter, or whatever you choose I just hope that you don't see through my ruse, 'Cause I've got more than just a few screws loose So I close my eyes Took a moment to reflect back on my life Cause I still got time We all got to grow, and we don't stop before we die Take a breath, second-guess, wouldn't be the first time I've grown Self-reflect, just accept, there are always things that I won't know It's not over yet for me How can I say "there's no shame in having something you're afraid of"? And "it shows strength to accept the mess you're made of"? Your own flesh and blood, and someday I'll trust myself to be the one, to be there for a son, or daughter, or whatever you choose But I know that I don't need no fucking rules There's no shame in showing face, instead of hiding it away, All this lying stops today, that's the truth It'll be alright I'm taking my time It'll be alright I'm taking my time It'll be alright I'm taking my time It'll be alright I'm taking my time
