TOO LATE JANIE Words & music by Jason Yudoff Too late Janie’s getting nervous it’s a quarter past ten Too late Janie’s getting anxious gonna call him again but there ain’t gonna be no answer she better find another friend Too late Janie never worried about losing a man Too late Janie never wavered Never gave him a chance Too late Janie’s all alone now she don’t understand All wrapped up in herself she never let him inside She couldn’t give something for nothing scared to give it a try Oh - now she wonders why Arrows fly into defenses she built around her heart If only she could break them down Might be a good place to start Give me just one kiss Too late Janie’s tired smile is gonna give her away Too late Janie’s had a while to think of something to say But Janie’s gonna say ‘I love you’ just a little too late Janie’s gonna say I love you a little too late A little too late

DON’T LET ME GO words and music by Jason Yudoff Do you remember our first night on the beach There was something in the air And still you manage to stay just out of reach like we were never even there But there’s still something left at the end of the day and I know you’d rather keep it than throw it away so all you have to do is try And I still like kissing you and touching your face you just need to learn to communicate ‘cause there’s so much more to lose than pride Don’t let me go Don’t you ever let me go Do you think that I can’t make it on my own Don’t let me go Don’t you ever let me go Don’t make me leave you all alone Don’t let me go I don’t know what I’m supposed to feel so I try not to feel at all you expect me to believe you’re for real But you’re too afraid to fall And if you’re still looking for sympathy you better dry your eyes and quit bitchin’ at me That well dried up back in July Little lamb, take my hand Let me show you the way Open your eyes and see a brand new day or else we’ll have to say goodbye
3.	Get Up 04:16	lyrics	buy track
GET UP Music and Lyrics by Jason Yudoff I like it when you give me affection but don’t pretend to be inside my head Waiting for my resurrection Hit rock bottom but I’m still not dead don’t let it get you down I’m giving it all I’ve got to give Help me get up off the ground I’ve been alive - Now show me how to live Gotta get up, gotta get up, gotta get, get-get up (2) Still haven’t tapped my potential I feel the best is still inside of me You think it’s inconsequential Too hard for you to believe what you can’t see I still get up every day Try to be the man that I’m supposed to be I might stumble on the way but I won’t stop until I make my peace Gotta get up, gotta get up gotta get, get-get up (4) GET UP Oh I like to tell myself that I’m still getting by You can close your eyes and smile but you don’t believe it Unspoken though I know I’m running out of time don’t want to say goodbye I’m innocent until proven guilty but you could never settle for second best So let’s get on with the mutiny You can never forgive and I can never forget Wait a minute - what’s that sound? I think they’re coming to get me Let me take a last look around My heart is heavy but my soul is free Gotta get up, gotta get up gotta get, get-get up (4)

PERSONAL ADDICT Music & Lyrics by Jason Yudoff Every time you say something that blows my mind I’ve just got to shake my head Live or die but you better not question why Girl, you’ve got me seeing red And it’s not just what you say, it’s how you say it (gotta make it through the night) I’ll still be standing here, to let you know that you must be doing something right I’M GOING AUTOMATIC YOU GOT ME IN A DAZE BUT I’M GETTING TOO MUCH STATIC AND IT’S BREAKING MY WAVES I’M NOT YOUR PERSONAL ADDICT YOU CAN WHIP INTO SHAPE BABY YOU’RE MY BADDIST HABIT BUT YOU’RE JUST TOO HARD TO BREAK YEAH YOU’RE JUST TOO HARD TO BREAK I’m begging you baby I’m getting down on my knees Let’s talk things over for a while You think that maybe if I said pretty, pretty please We can lose those daggers from your eyes You’ve got to jump in with both feet Lay your cards out on the table When will you give your heart to me You used to want to be my favorite I’M GOING AUTOMATIC YOU GOT ME IN A DAZE BUT I’M GETTING TOO MUCH STATIC AND IT’S BREAKING MY WAVES I’M NOT YOUR PERSONAL ADDICT YOU CAN WHIP INTO SHAPE BABY YOU’RE MY BADDIST HABIT BUT YOU’RE JUST TOO HARD TO BREAK YEAH YOU’RE JUST TOO HARD TO BREAK
5.	Side By Side 05:40	lyrics	buy track
SIDE BY SIDE Music & Lyrics by Jason Yudoff Is there a way to say what we want to say Without running away if we don’t like what we hear I’ll take your hand I’ll make time to understand I’ll even wipe away your tears So I wrote you this song for when we don’t get along Now try to be strong and turn the other cheek I know you’re scared I’m not going anywhere So baby let me rock you to sleep Well you know we’ve come too far to give up who we are without a fight But if you’re gonna be my wife if we’ll walk together through this life We’ll do it side by side We’ll do it side by side Let’s find a place where there’s no ‘saving face’ Just give us the space to settle down and breathe I give you my word Don’t matter what you think you heard I might walk out but baby I’d never leave Well you know we’ve come too far to give up who we are without a fight But if you’re gonna be my wife if we’ll walk together through this life We’ll do it side by side We’ll do it side by side I know it goes fast and you thought we’d never last But my life is an hourglass and I’m running out of sand It’s the moment of truth and the choice runs back to you But if you’re my woman treat me like your man Yeah if you’re my woman treat me like your man Well you know we’ve come too far to give up who we are without a fight But if you’re gonna be my wife if we’ll walk together through this life we’ll do it side by side Side by side We’ll do it side by side
6.	Without You 05:05	lyrics	buy track
WITHOUT YOU Music & Lyrics by Jason Yudoff It’s been so long since you were gone Sometimes it feels like yesterday when you went away I can get used to anything But that doesn’t make it easier not to think of her ‘Cause I know that I’d be better than I am today if I’d only said the things I’d always meant to say Sometimes this life doesn’t make much sense They say in time everybody makes amends Well I feel cheated I feel wronged I’m not ashamed to sing this song ‘Cause I’m still staying strong Without you Was it just 1996? Can you remember way back when… I was a different person then But still the sun comes up each day Another sleepless night of memories Of ancient history I accept it but that doesn’t mean I understand And it’s hard not to believe you didn’t have your plans Sometimes this life doesn’t make much sense They say in time everybody makes amends Well I feel cheated I feel wronged I’m not ashamed to sing this song ‘Cause I’m still staying strong Without you As the days go by I remember less and less Did you even exist? What more sins could I confess But I can’t feel bad about not feeling bad enough

ALL DAY Music & Lyrics by Jason Yudoff So mother told you there’d be days like this Hold your breath until it’s over Your thoughts are heavy with whatever you’re not sharing Lay your head upon my shoulder There’s so many things to stress about Why worry? Just take them one by one Close your eyes and let yourself drift away Just walk fast if you can’t run You see it doesn’t matter what you’ve got to say If there’s no one ‘round to listen But if you want me to understand Baby, I’ve got all day You can’t take orders, but you do I know you hate to wait in line Something’s eating away at you And you can’t figure it out alone this time You see it doesn’t matter what you do If there’s no one there to see it So if you need a witness Baby, I’ve got all day Sometimes you laugh until you cry Until you realize you’re okay You didn’t get a kiss goodbye It’s funny, Things just weren’t supposed to be this way You see it doesn’t matter what you’ve got to give If no one wants to take it But if you need somebody to love Baby, I’ve got all day
9.	Happiness 05:00	lyrics	buy track
HAPPINESS Music & Lyrics by Jason Yudoff Happiness comes in such small doses I have to concentrate to pin it down And I’ve had my share of shattered dreams and bloody noses It’s hard to find yourself in such a clever town And the names just rattle around inside my brain Seems like everybody’s got no time The distant echoes of love and lust are driving me insane And the difference of opinion has blurred the line And it’s hard to put my finger on But I think you think I don’t belong Pining for the superstar Every now and then push the limits ‘til I go too far I’ve worn out my welcome here so I guess that I’ll be on my way The world won’t stop turning There’s nothing you can say I’m looking for a brighter day Happiness - Shine down on me Happiness - Shine down on me I tell myself there’s always tomorrow And I try to thank God for all I’ve had I know that somewhere there’s bigger heartache and greater sorrow But I don’t understand the plan and I’m still pretty mad
10.	Before 02:34	lyrics	buy track
BEFORE Music & Lyrics by Jason Yudoff I didn’t know what I was looking for until the day I let you go I couldn’t tell you when I had the chance but I thought that you deserved to know Although I find I have to get my way You know I change my mind every other day Because sometimes life is such a bore I liked things better the way they were before Well I thought I’d made myself crystal clear I wasn’t looking for romance And when you hit me like a bombardier I still didn’t give you a chance Can’t let myself believe in you Not after all the shit that I’ve been through But I may come running back for more I liked things better the way they were before No it don’t come easy, but I’m willing to stick it out Stop trying to please me That will never remove the doubt You say I’m the one for you and you’re the one for me Let’s let the fates decide to bring us what we need Didn’t know about protocol I just turned the other cheek It might sound hypocritical I think I might’ve passed my peak But really good times never seem to last Throw me a line I’m fading fast And I might come knocking at your door I liked things better the way they were before And I don’t think I can take this anymore I liked things better the way they were before
11.	No Such Thing 07:12	lyrics	buy track
NO SUCH THING Music & Lyrics by Jason Yudoff Don’t look at me like that Am I really all you see? Just come a little closer Pacify me Set me free I can see for miles on a cloudy day But every now and then I wish that I could stop the rain If you need a hand I’ll help you change your mind I still believe in free will But here there’s no such thing Touch me once and walk away I don’t need to make you mine Throw your arms around my waste Pre-occupy me Take my time I can see for miles on a cloudy day But every now and then I wish that I could stop the rain If you need a hand I’ll help you change your mind I still believe in free will But here there’s no such thing But what if my reality is someone else’s dream And there’s no consolation prize to win Well I suppose that there will always be another vice To save me when the roof is caving in
12.	Pride 04:52	lyrics	buy track
PRIDE Music & Lyrics by Jason Yudoff My mother said I was special but how do I know Can’t tell what the plan is I just learn as I go Though I’m not a commando I take it in stride You don’t have to want me I’ve got my pride I think I’m trying too hard when I’m not trying at all Sure I’ll take your number and maybe I’ll call If you promise to seek me well then I’ll go hide But you’ll never find me I’ve got my pride I’ve got my pride Well I can be anything that I want to be I’d keep self-destructing but it just isn’t me I can say that I loved you and not have to lie But I’d swallow my tongue to hold on to my pride Don’t know where I’m going but I’ll figure it out So I know you’ll excuse me if I have a few doubts Don’t take it so personal if I can’t decide You’ve shown me your patience Now show me your pride Show me your pride I’m not the voice of my generation or the catch of the day But there are a few things that I’d like to say If you dare to disagree just hold it inside I don’t need forgiveness I’ve still got my pride I’ve still got my pride
