I had a talk with the voice inside
I sat him down so I could look him straight in the eye
I asked him why he's knockin, always knockin at my door
He said man, cuz your throwin it all away
You're zombie walkin to your job each day
to plug yourself in, another gear in the machine
Leaving you dreams behind to walk down the assembly line
Of people who tried and now are wearin the warning signs
Why Wait
Why wade
Why must you wade
In a sea of sorrow
Why Wait
Why must you Wait
Why Wait
Until Tomorrow
Your walking down a dead end street
Chasing those dollar bills for the illusions that they buy
Now your always worried their gonna take our toys away
when its those toys that are wrapping you up in chains
An image eats you up inside
Under that tombstone without the chance to plant your seed
you gotta leave em with something to keep'em comin back
to keep'em smilin when your buried, dead and gone
Why Wait
Why wade
Why must you wade
In a sea of sorrow
Why Wait
Why must you Wait
Why Wait
Until Tomorrow... Start living your life today
You can't wait until tomorrow
Those birthday candles, they only burn for so long
Stop dragging your heart and let it lead the way
Let it shine on to keep your soul from goin blind
Why Wait
Why wade
Why must you wade
In a sea of sorrow
Why Wait
Why must you Wait
Why Wait
Until Tomorrow... Start living your life today

A sleepwalkin collar with nowhere to go
Except back to work to put his head in the hole
Then he has the nerve to bitch and complain
That all the walls around him are always the same
He has his problems but don't we all
Start dialin questions man
And the answers will call
You wanna change you world you can't stand by
And just so you know man it starts inside
You gotta stop stumblin in darkness,
to start walkin in light
You wanna change you world you can't stand by
Every four years he goes out to vote
For the less of two evils, its easy, why rock the boat
They talk with two faces but its not a lie
Cuz we trust our TV's more than our two eyes
Turn off the TV let your mind grow
Take that cold shower man
Before there's no hope
You wanna change you world you can't stand by
And just so you know man it starts inside
You gotta stop stumblin in darkness,
to start walkin in light
You wanna change you world you can't stand by
Sally burned her bra and fights with picket signs
With nothin but the faces of our children on her mind
No diamond rings no picket fence no shopping sprees
She gave it all away, so we could see
WHY DON’T WE SEE?
She gave her all head high and walkin tall
Bloody lips and bruises man
Don't you let it go to waste
You wanna change you world you can't stand by
And just so you know man it starts inside
You gotta stop stumblin in darkness
To start walkin in light
You wanna change you world you can't stand by

Lets Take A Walk
Out with some friends I'd be the 5th wheel back in the rear
They'd all have hands to hold while I'd just wanna disappear
I 'm sick of the grind and waking up alone each and every day
I keep wearin a smile cuz a know I'm gonna find someone someday
Then one night a new years party in a big blue house
Facin' another countdown standin all by myself
Then I saw you there, over there my heart just started to glow
Cuz when its real man awe you just know
And now its you and me baby, I've never been so in love
Love our time together but lately its never enough
I'm all warm inside the butterflies are restless and they're havin' there way
Give me your hand pretty baby we'll start our lives over today
Lets take a walk
Lets take a walk now
Fast forward to today when I woke and I saw your face
When the sun hits your eyes it takes me to another place
I gotta pinch myself when you walk through that door at night
When I put my arms around you, it feels so right
And now its you and me baby, I've never been so in love
I love our time together but lately its never enough
I'm all warm inside and butterflies are restless and they're havin there way
Give me your hand pretty baby we'll start our lives over today
Lets take a walk
Lets take a walk now
I wanna walk the world with you forever by your side
I wanna be there with you when the first born opens their eyes
We'll get ourselves a big house, fill it with memories
Hand in hand together marching through eternity
And now its you and me baby, I've never been so in love
I love our time together but lately its never enough
I'm all warm inside and butterflies are restless and they're havin there way
Give me your hand pretty baby we'll start our lives over today
Lets take a walk
Lets take a walk now
Lets take a walk

Come on baby let go of yourself
And sit right next to me up here on the shelf
We’ll sit right here on cloud number nine
We’ll have our fun and watch the other ones try
Sooo
Why fight it
Why fight it
Why fight it
Just be mine
You invite your friends, I’ll invite mine
We’ll have a hell of a time
We’ll barbeque every day, we’ll strike up the band
We’ll spend our dyin’ days with our toes in the sand
Sooo
Why fight it
Why fight it
Why fight it
Just be mine
Come on baby let go of yourself
And sit right next to me up here on the shelf
We’ll spend our days on cloud number nine
We’ll have our fun and watch the other ones try
Sooo
Why fight it
Why fight it
Why fight it
Just be mine

Heavy on the pillow
Your eyes are open wide
So much for dreaming
The wind is howling tonight
Staring at the ceiling
Pacing the floor in your mind
Can't stop the bleeding
Their words carve you up inside
When the wind blows
When the wind blows softly you'll know
When the wind blow baby
When the wind blows softly you'll know
You hear the whispers
You feel the pitchforks they throw with their eyes
Your lips are frozen
You're trapped in a room full of whys
When the wind blows
When the wind blows softly you'll know
When the wind blow baby
When the wind blows softly you'll know
So let the black clouds rain
Windy mouths and head-shakers will, always have their say
But you see they're the ones with the shades pulled down can't feel the sun
can't stand the mirror so they blast their gun
Never mind them
You got job to do
When the wind blows
When the wind blows softly you'll know
When the wind blow baby
When the wind blows softly you'll know

Corey Koehler recommends:
When It Sinks In
by Farewell Milwaukee
Great band from Minnesota. Nice, laid back and mellow but not boring. Start with the tune out "Always Be Your Man".
go to album
Along the Gallows
by The Bailey Hounds
Haunting and yet reassuring (if that makes any sense whatsoever). Just a great mellow tune.
go to album
We Leave Only Ashes
by Eef Barzelay
Some artists just have "it". Great songwriting. Cozy acoustic tunes would fit perfectly in a playlist with early Dylan, Mumford or Chris Knight ala Trailer Tapes.
