No Problem, Man

You told me to get in the sea But I was already drowning It's been so many days since I have seen your face And believe me I've been counting And it's these late summer Florida sunsets You know they're almost as pretty as you And you ask me "Jason, hey are you done yet?" And I said "girl, you know I'll never be through." I'll never be through I see you like a flower in bloom But I love you down to your roots So when come the day that all your colors fade I'm staying right here with you And it's those late summer Florida sunsets You know they're almost as pretty as you And you ask me "Jason, hey are you done yet?" And I said "girl, you know I'll never be through." I'll never be through

I had a dream that you and me Were on the run from the police And I don't even know And then you jumped into my car Said "I know somewhere, it's not too far. Come on let's go." And then you took me to a show I grabbed my guitar cause I was ready to go But I woke up before I could play And it reminded me of when I'd leave And you would always say to me "Oh, won't you stay." Last time I saw you was a Monday night I think you were getting into some kinda fight But you know I had to run And we had had such a good time You sat in the seat right next to mine Hanging out, playing games and getting drunk You stayed there till the end of my show I grabbed my guitar, it was time to go But I told you I'd be back soon And just like so many nights of my life Where I have to tell someone goodbye I walked out under a half-lit moon And now I'm off to another show I grab my guitar, I'm always ready to go Be it a stage or a living room Up next I'm westward bound Don't worry I'll work my way around And I'll be back to see you

They say that to get distance Just take rate by time But how far do you have to go To say you were alive? If two trains leave the station From distant cities One's goin’ fast, one's goin’ slow How soon will they meet? But life is not as simple As a straight line railroad track And it's never fun to wonder If you're ever comin’ back If it leaves westbound at half past three How long will it take before you hate me Whoa whoa whoa if a train leaves If a train leaves They say that to find speed Divide distance by time Come on, let's see how fast we leave Each other behind If two trains leave the station And they're going separate ways Do you think they miss each other And hope for better days? Got plenty of time to drink Just rollin’ on down the line Got too much time to think When something's on your mind If it leaves westbound at half past three How long will it take before you hate me Whoa whoa whoa if a train leaves If a train leaves

And I may fall asleep Listening to this night time rain Wash this tired summer off these streets With all the restraint it can feign It reminds me of years ago Lost friends and the innocence of youth I feel the same when everything Around me's changed in ways i can't undo And I am scared to death That I'm wasting my life Wasting my breath And I think that the worst thing Is never knowing What all this means Late nights spent wide awake The glow of my cell phone compels You can see in these overtaxed eyes I haven't been sleeping very well And I'm not sure what is wrong with me This feeling leaves little to compare I know one day I'll realize that This world isnt my cross to bear And I am scared to death That I'm wasting my life Wasting my breath And I think that the worst thing Is never knowing What all this means

Who I Am 03:35
Putting pressure on myself Was never anything but bad for my health When I can learn to sit back and relax That's when I find myself swimming in the gap Between the notes and words that I sing Music pours from the silence with me Cause I know who I am And that makes this that much harder For anyone to understand Cause I know who I am And I've had to accept some truths Some hard facts about my misspent youth Try as I might I don't think I can Even pretend to act like the age I am You tried to give me love and build a home But you can't give away what you do not own And I know who I am And that makes this impossible For anyone to understand Cause I know, I know, yeah, I know Who I am

I'm a walkin', talkin' fake it till you make it Got my fingers and I'm crossin' them till they're breakin' And for so long it was how I wanted to be seen But from now on it's how I'm gonna be And I'm runnin' from the sun and hope it's not settin' I'm a gamblin' man, but you know I'm not bettin' On anything, anything just yet I'm tryin' to find my way through (through) But you know it's not like someone comes along and tells you The right thing to do So I'll take my bewilderment And just keep on runnin' straight ahead It'll take all I got, pour another shot of this cheap whiskey My vision is blurred, but you know I can still see Anything and everything that you mean I'm tryin' to find my way through (through) But you know it's not like someone comes along and tells you The right thing to do So I'll take my bewilderment And just keep on runnin' straight ahead And I'll fight on, cause it's right on to keep your damn head up When the world beats on you and you know it won't let up And for so long it was how I wanted to be seen But from now on it's how I'm gonna be And I'm runnin' to the sun and hope it's still risin' I'm a dreamer at heart, but I'm just fantasizin' About everything, everything we could be I'm just fantasizin', and I'm just fantasizin' And I'm just fantasizin' about everything we could be

It's closed off, a part of me that I don't show no more It's terrain that I need not explore I don't need anything from anyone I know It's something I've learned to let go I can't see, I think there's something wrong with me I'd look but it just seems unwise With all these hearts in my eyes Don't speak, don't think there's anything that you can say That my ears can hear anyway I can't think, my brain is shut down through and through The way it does when I see you I can't see, I think there's something wrong with me I'd look but it just seems unwise With all these hearts in my eyes I try not to think too hard about what's gone or in the past Good times now they're memories but they don't last, no they don't last Sometimes my mind wanders back and forth and back to then I never thought I'd sing a love song again It's closed off, part of me that I don't show no more It's terrain that I need not explore I can't see, I think there's something wrong with me I'd look but it just seems unwise With all these hearts in my eyes
