Lyrics from "How Do I Know You"

Over Now
Don't pack your bags-you'll find new rags, and you'll always have a seat for free
No time to wait-you're already late for your date with destiny
It's all over now
You don't have to cry-don't even try, all your friends will see you again
All roads are seen-all lights are green, and you never have to stop again
It's all over now
No fuss, no fight, nothing but light
You landed on go-nobody says no, and you move around the board with ease
Like a leaf or a feather-no rope or tether, adn you ride around the world with the breeze
It's all over now
Star
What would you do if I told you you've been running in the wrong race
What would you do if I told you you've been living a lie
What would you do if I told you you're just another face
What would you do if I told you you're just a passerby-Are you a star
What would you do if I told you nobody needs your voice too loud
What would you do if I told you nobody needs you around
What would you do if I told you you'll never fly and land on a cloud
What would you do if I told you you'll never leave the ground-Are you a star
Are you a star in your own mind-the one you wanted to be
Are you a star disappearing-one we'll never see
Are you a star in the making-one that just can't resign
Are you a star in the making-just about to shine
You're just about to shine

Run, Rerun

How Do I Know You?
How do I know you-did we share a handshake and a grin
How do I know you-did those party favors do me in
Did I talk to you or was it your evil twin
How do I know you-did you take me by the hand
How do I know you-did we roll around in the sand
Did you only want to do me 'cause I'm playing in the band
How do I know you-did you see me on the floor
How do I know you-did we meet in Baltimore
Did we hang out in the basement-when you said stop did I say more
When I was way out on the island did you row the boat ashore
Do I give you a second glance or do I let you walk out door

Talk the Talk
I came to you for a favor-I listened to the words that you spoke
You gave me what I wanted to hear but now I treat your words like a joke-don't lead me on
If you're gonna talk the talk better walk the walk-you don't have to shout it
If you're gonna flash the flash you better pay the cash-cause now I start to doubt it
More lines let me along "gotta give it some time" "see it though"
I gave you what you wanted but all I got was a different window with the same old view-don't lead me on
If you're gonna talk the Talk better walk the walk-you don't have to shout it
If you're gonna flash the flash you better pay the cash-cause now I start to doubt it
don't care what you have to say-I just came to hear you play
Yes I have an obsession-on your words I still chew
You gave to me a promise and now I wait for it to come true-don't lead me on-are you just a con?
If you're gonna talk the talk better walk the walk-you don't have to shout it
If you're gonna flash the flash you better pay the cash-cause now I start to doubt it

Down
The first time I saw you you were shuffling your feet
The first time I saw you you must have felt so obsolete
No cross on your back but I swear it was there-once you were lost now you're found
You know where you are-does anybody else?
You know where you are and you'll never come down
The last time I saw you you were spinning around
The last time I saw you you weren't even on the ground
No wings on your back but I swear you were in the air-once you were lost now you're found
You know where you are-does anybody else?
You know where you are and you'll never come down
Everyday
I open my eyes-I see what time it is-I hear music on the radio
I draw back the shades-I soak in the morning light-it's so good to see someone else has risen with me
Everyday is a new day-there's not much more to be said
Everyday is a new day-you wake up alive or you're dead
I open my eyes-I see my baby beside me-I run my fingers through her hair I thank God that she is there
Then I put on my work clothes-it's time to bring home some bread-I kis my baby godbye, she kisses me back
Everyday is a new day-there's not much more to be said
Everyday is a new day-you wake up alive or you're dead
I open my eyes-I see what is on my wall-words of wisdom I once gave to myself
Nothing rings more true than what I am saying to you-who would have thought that we would all be here tonight?
Everyday is a new day-there's not much more to be said
Everyday is a new day-you wake up alive or you're dead
