Time Will Tell Word & Music by John Masarone Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong I need some time to be alone I need some time cause time will tell. You should have heard my heart a long time ago but you were slow need some time To find my way back to you Time will tell I need some time I want to be feeling free now can't you see I want to be, want to be loved A feeling gone but never lost Its on the shelf full of frost Need some time to melt off I'll find my way back to you, time will tell Don't you shed a tear for me Please don't feel this way Please understand me And let me walk away - alone Once a long long time ago You were sure you had to go As you know you went and stayed It only took one day To find your way back to me I'll find my way back to you Time will tell Don't get me wrong

Superman Curl Words and Music by John Masarone She's in love with my superman curl and I know this isn't right She's in love with my superman curl and I feel this while in flight Way up here I can see the city lights Way down there got a feeling that I fight Pros and cons are that I love her When I'm with her I am home Still I don't know if our planets are aligned Does she love me for who I am? (Chorus) And I don't care who is friend or foe 'cause where I stand is all I need to know Pros and cons are that I love her When I'm with her I am home In a flash I have the strength to stop a train But deep inside I am weak and strained (Chorus) (Bridge) She already told me that She really loves me How can I deny the power of those eyes seeing past a super guy. I'm in love with my superman girl... She's in love with my superman curl. That's OK and I'm alright She's in love with my superman curl but I think she is out of sight! I'm in love with my superman girl and and I know that this is right I'm in love with my superman girl and I feel this while in flight

One Last Try Tonight 04:33
lyrics

Words & Music by John Masarone You know your price tag was a little bit high I know that you were prized by some well-known guy but all your rivals are very close by Will you give it one last try tonight? You're very loud you've got to bring it way down I'm not a player that gets paid by the pound You know the rules you know the way it should sound Will you give it one last try tonight? At a party you're having a blast You have your lines but you play them too fast You have the looks and killer appeal I need a different feel I have your papers I can send you right back I know the others want to play on my track but something tells me you'll be fine in my pack Give it one last try tonight Won't you give it one last try tonight? Won't you give it one last try tonight?

Stay By My Side 03:34
lyrics

Words and Music by John Masarone Though I know we've talked it out Continued resistance to what's going on, on without Alright, well I have always loved you Know the rationale I've come to Understand as well as adore Know that nothing comes before you Stay by my side Safe by your side I know it's so In all things in life we can't control You and I will stay, take it slow Been so long since we were born Looking back I guess that we were torn The years have worn Alright, well I have always loved you Thought that I could move on without Turning back or living alone Got as far as the thought that sold me Stay by my side Safe by your side I know it's so In all things in life that come and go You and I will stay, take it slow You and I will stay, take it slow There was a time when we were together We grew apart but not forever Never thought that we would be here now When you were gone from me It was plain to see Alright, well I have always loved you Know the rationale I've come to Understand as well as adore Know that nothing comes before you Stay by my side Safe by your side I know it's so In all things in life we can't control You and I will stay, take it Stay by my side Safe by your side I know it's so In all things in life that come and go You and I will stay, take it slow You and I will stay

Words and Music by John Masarone You think you really know me but you haven't got a clue In part you will accept me because you think I'm just like you I really don't know who you are but I'll find something to say I feel your love around me as we enjoy this gorgeous day I'll sell you down the river while you're holding up your arms I'll sell you down the river and delight you with my charm Tell me what you want to hear Because I'm setting the table for next year I'm willing and I'm able to support all your fears The more you hear about that's bad the more I am endear The freedom that you give me I brag, "You'll never leave me. Let's be clear." And I'll sell you down the river with all your hopeless dreams and what I can't deliver I'll just dump into the sea Tell me what you want to hear Because I'm setting the table for next year I'm willing and I'm able to back all your fears I'll sell you down the river while you're holding up your arms and when I can't deliver I'll delight you with my charm Tell me what you want to hear Because I'm setting the table for next year I'm willing and I'm able to back all your fears Tell me what you want to hear

One Day Off 04:48
lyrics

Words & Music by John Masarone I had to be somewhere an hour ago meet up with people that I don't even know I need one day off Continue talk about the way it should be treating humans like they can't count to three I need one day off There's endless cycles in this roundabout it sometimes seems like there's no way out I need one day off And all this energy is all around yet no cure for anything is found I need one day off What seems unmistakably some reality based on fallacy People see what they want to see irregardless of what factually is there I never said a word so there I sat hearing arguments the world is flat I need one day off Don't you know my friend the Earth is curved you'll never change that take my word and take one day off just one day off

Words and Music by John Masarone You thought you had me and fooled everyone You son of the top gun You hardly know a heart or a soul You think you are so You know no limits you know no shame You think you're the boss You're at a loss and a douchebag You are pathetic A narcissistic jerk A piece of work You think it's your money You think you have fame but it is so funny because you're so lame and a douchebag You think the world's for you but you don't have a clue Everyone knows you are such a prick They won't say it but you are a dick and a douchebag You think the world's for you but you don't have a clue In eighteen years I have done a great job but you are a menace and your shit must stop! If I could can you you would be gone Until that day comes here is my song you're a douchebag

Words & Music by John Masarone There be no trouble we can always learn as we go Summer's not over we won't have to travel through the snow You heard the man, said that it can be done Come on, let's do it, you are his son Sooner than later It's already later Let's get to the base of this rock so we can Climb to the top of the moment Then rappel to the ground We're tied to each other Fake a laugh as we Belly Roll and Crawl You're like a brother We are in this I would never let you fall We've got to brace ourselves and not look down It's 13000 till we hit the ground Let's pick up the pace or defeat we will face let's move it along this trail so we can Climb to the top of the moment Then descend to the ground You heard the man, said that it can be done Come on, let's do it, you are his son Let's pick up the pace or defeat we will face Let's get to the top of this rock so we can Climb to the top of the moment

Words and Music by John Masarone Don’t bring it up if it brings you down You’re not the fall guy for some cold hearted faceless clown You need to know that you're not alone You need to find out when the hurting stops and you will be on your way back Cause I know and you know that something always comes along I know and you will know that something good will turn you on Don’t let what you can’t change turn you inside out You need to hold your own in this time of your self-doubt that you will go on from here And you will be whole again And when you do you will be on your way back Cause I know and you know that something always comes along I know and you know that something good will turn you on I would never tell you just what you want to hear You’re not the only one that time has had to heal I want to know that I’m not alone I need to find out when the hurting’s gone When we’ll be on our way back Cause I know and you know that something always comes along I know and you will know something good will turn you on I know and you know that something always comes along And I know and you will know something good will turn you on

Words & Music by John Masarone Give me something I would die Give me something and I'll give more I'm not a soldier in a cold war Fight for something I could live for Won't you let me be Why don't you let me be Don't want another complication I didn't know your reputation Don't like the scene and what it's turned out to be You've got to realize that you're not the only one So set me free Why don't you set me free For every bird in the hand there's two in the bush I'm so far from where I wanted to be A decade off that is certain to me Don't you chain me down your sure and safe society clown because I'm not the one I've accepted the uncertainty with the option of insanity Disregarded like an old shoe worn down so much that I can hardly run So let me be Why don't you let me be Give me something I would die for Give me something and I'll give more Why not something that is certain to me Make me realize I'm the only one Or set me free Why don't you set me free For every bird in the hand If there's a bird in the hand there's two in the bush

Words and Music by John Masarone Don't do it, don't you do it, just let it go Don't do it, get through it, just let it go When the feeling comes it can overrun with everything that you have Like a fast attack it will drive you back with everything that it has It go it goes on and on, and on and on, and on and on Don't do it, just don't do it, just let it go It's in your head don't let it you're on a thread don't fret it Don't do it, don't you do it, just let it It will consume you, it will entomb you if you don't get it just right Not automatic it makes you panic no use in sleeping at night It go it goes on and on, and on and on, and on and on Don't do it, just don't do it, just let it go It's in your head don't let it you're on a thread just forget it Don't do it, get through it, and just let it go Just when you think it's right you start all over it takes all night Simple things you can't let go they complicate you so Well it's a no-go you rather take it slow if the lanes are too small Full elevator you'll take it later or maybe never at all It go it goes on and on, and on and on, and on and on Don't do it, or you will loose it, just let it go It's in your head don't let it you're on a thread don't fret it Don't do it, get through it, and just let it go Just when you think it's right you start all over it takes all night Simple things you can't let go they complicate you so Don't do it, don't you do it, just let it go Don't do it, get through it, just let it go It go it goes on and on, and on and on, and on and on Don't do it, just don't do it, just let it go It's in your head don't let it you're on a thread don't fret it Don't do it, get through it, and just let it go It's in your head don't let it you're on a thread just forget it Don't do it, get through it, and just let it go

Hold Down The Melody 05:33
lyrics

Words and Music by John Masarone Reeling within my art tonight nothing comes too easily with the spark that you get through to me moves in like a symphony Searching with my hands feeling with my heart it's always been such a mystery starting not so naturally Hold down the melody the words thought so carefully they take hold with all such harmony sing their way to my soul Hold down the melody It all works out instinctively It finds its way though mediocrity And moves the song in my soul I've been here many times But will always embrace There are no words to describe the way It seems to appear from empty space Hold down the melody the words thought so carefully they take hold with all such harmony sing their way to my soul Hold down the melody It all works out instinctively It finds its way though mediocrity And moves the song in my soul

So Much Older 03:17
lyrics

Words and Music by John Masarone © 2013 It's always hard when I try to speak When she's turned I take a peek When I'm up, I come to her shoulder 'cause she's so much older I'm not as tall as she like me to be But at least I don't came to her knee She's tall like a boulder That's because she is so much older She crashed my airplane She's got to be my wife But she's so much older Got to find the things that she likes I wonder if she likes to ride bikes In a race I think I'm stronger But she's longer I really want to make a splash But I'm really low on cash Get an "A" and make her prouder Gonna sing this song much louder She crashed my airplane She's got to be my wife But she's so much older Gonna take it all in No matter where I stand I want to bring her in close I'm gonna be her man Most people say it won't last But for now it sure is a blast And before it's done and over I'll find her a four-leaf clover It's always hard when I try to speak When she's turned I take a peek When I'm up, I come to her shoulder 'cause she's so much older She crashed my airplane She's got to be my wife But she's so much older

Words and music by John Masarone I want so much to write this love song for you but it's so long to do but I'll try it again Don't want to buy you another greeting card You know I like to make it hard So I'll try it again It's 2 o'clock and I am getting nowhere I'm so tied as I fall into a stare of your pretty smile your warm and moving style I can try a little longer Writing love songs isn't easy for me So it will be I'll try it again Making my words as clear as a bell so you can tell I'll write them again It's four in the morning and I've pulled out my hair I've slipped away and I want to take you there Sing you my love song Hold you in my arms But I must awaken Writing love songs isn't easy for me As you can see but I'll try it again Making my words as clear as a bell so you can tell I'll say them again Writing love songs isn't easy for me As you can see but I'll try it again Singing my words as clear as a bell so you can tell why we did it again

Words and Music by John Masarone I've been lied to hard to find truth In the moment when I'm with you Love to dine you, you seem fine too What's the hurry? I'm not through I want to get with you When I met you Got Crazy memories I want to get Please, try to explain was it you with me? Mostly white space blur of your face What went on when we got to my place? I want to get from you When I met you I can see you holding me closer feeling like I'm touching the sky I relive it over and over Every time I thought I died Got to morning with no warning Had no money and not a clue You were gone without a trace Got the number that hit my face That's what I get from you... When I met you
