Finish Line By: John Torres Ch1 It’s such a strange world now And no ones going back to the old one It's all deranged somehow But We can wash it down with a cold one You’re on the wrong side now You always thought that you were a good guy I kept my words tied down But now I speak my mind to the blue sky Yeah yeah V1 These days I’m on top of the world But the worlds still on top of me Just a matter of perspective you see And those damned laws of gravity You don’t need permission You can go your own way You can choose your own company And in the end sleep in the bed that you made You can sing your own melody Ch 2 It’s such a strange world now And no ones going back to the old one I’m living rain proof now And I can wash it down with a cold one Where is the wrong side now You always thought that you were a good guy We kept our words tied down But now We speak our minds to the blue sky Yeah yeah Outro Vamp It's looking like, we might get to the finish line We've share the fears and who knows what we're gonna find Full steam ahead and whatever's on the other side Cause we've spend enough days, sitting being terrified

Outside 03:10
lyrics

OUTSIDE By: John Torres V1 Let’s go we racing down the road now Explode and drive into the ocean Pre Which way’s up and where’s down I’m lost in the sounds, my mind is leaving me And life has never been more uncertain I’m certainly afraid V2 Let’s roll we’re racing down the highway Untold delusions on my mind weigh Pre2 Will I ever come down, I’m glued to the sounds that pound inside my brain oh Get me back to my home Too far have I roamed Please point the way Ch Outside The world is unimaginably bright and Promising Outside I start to see a future and I might just live to see Outside I never knew how magical a sight could seem A world of dreams outside V2 I know I was never supposed to be there Looking back I see it all much more clear Pre Did I ever come down, it turned me around Changed forever more, and All I know is I found my feet on the ground And this need to be Ch Outside Where The world is unimaginably bright and Promising Outside I can see the future and I’m glad I Got to see Outside Now I know how magical a sight can seem A world of dreams I could scream

4. Racing Toward the Future By: John Torres V1 We thought of something stupid to do Isla Vista on a night with the crew Pre1 Mikey, J, Monk and the Mack Going and we ain’t looking back V2 Party at a cliffside spot Popping pillies that JZ bought Pre2 Girly kissed it onto my tongue She says you’ll know when it has begun Ch Let us go go go go Off into the future we go Let me go go go go Racing toward a future I go V3 Step into to the street in the rain Toward a party on El Nido Ln Pre 3 Walking as we’re starting to peak Laughing like a couple of freaks V4 Open up and look what we found Pile of people and an ocean of sound Pre 4 Mack is as white as the snow I’m dancing the star of a show Ch Let us go go go go Off into the future we go Let me go go go go Racing toward a future I go Solo Ch Let us go go go go Off into the future we go Let me go go go go Racing toward a future I go

Away We Go 04:08

Away We Go By: John Torres V1 This is all a new uncharted road And we can’t say for sure just where it goes Pre1 If all we have is now Why dream about forever V1B This is so refreshing and so new Why should we even be afraid of what is true Pre2 If we have joy today Why should we fear tomorrow Away we go Our eyes are opened wide What more should we do You look out for me I’ll look out for you Let's not be afraid Of things that we cannot know Put your hand in mine Away we go V2 There’s no way we can know it all But I’d rather dance than fear the chance that we might fall Pre 3 We can’t know what’s next But here we are together Ch Away we go Our eyes are opened wide What more should we do You look out for me I’ll look out for you Let's not be afraid Of things that we cannot know Put your hand in mine Away we go Bridge Times racing by We could try But we will never keep up pace with it Oh So much has changed And so quickly Tomorrow is here today

Shelter in Places By: John Torres ©2020 Two Old Men Music V1 The walls start to shake and boots start to quake And the drums begin to beat so loud Stuck in a room, need new words for the gloom While we used to feel alone in a crowd Pre 1 True this too will pass and the first will be the last If we last long enough to keep score Digging digging deeper you throw away a keeper Take and take but still want more Ch1 Shelter in places Lost in the spaces Grasping at the stars High as it goes now Talking to ghosts now Never get too far Holding on to who you are V2 Made in the shade, Bills have been paid And we all know how the west was won Click here to buy Fill your rooms to the sky Use up time before time passes you by Pre 2 Waiting for a break But they take and take and take Wishing you could come up for air Head above the waters Mothers, sons and daughters All of this is so unfair Ch1 Shelter in places Lost in the spaces Grasping at the stars High as it goes now Talking to ghosts now Never get too far Holding on to who you are Bridge Standing in the dark now Wandering in the park now Waiting for a break in the clouds Need to get away now Not much more to say now Dying to do what isn’t allowed (Repeat)

Marjorie Taylor Green (Miss Information) By: John Torres V1 You must see What nobody else can see You’ve been set free While we are all lost at sea. Informed Taking the time to look beyond the norms Making sure you’re prepared to face the storm Pre Just you people wait and see Just how loud this loud can be Ch Miss Information The worlds on fire Miss Information But she’s no liar Miss Information The jokes on you A growing fire there’s no telling what you’ll do Chorus loop V2 You’re inspired Teaching us all how everything is wired Telling us who’s the liar Control Dreaming of a time when you thought you had it all. Shaking your fist at your Inglourious fall Pre2 Just you people wait and see Just how mad her mad can be Ch Miss Information The worlds on fire Miss Information But she’s no liar Miss Information The jokes on you A growing fire there’s no telling what you’ll do Bridge All the way Every day Must be true devotion Stop and hear Smell the fear Deep as any ocean

Brand New Melody 03:01

Brand New Melody By: John Torres V1 I want you to stay Not trying to push you away And I wonder if you believe me baby I know I’m an ocean of words In search of ones you’ve not heard In hopes that you might receive me baby. Pre Stumbling around as I go Wish I had a clue Cause that’s the one way I know Oh and that’s the truth Hoping in time I can learn to be easier. V2 You set me on fire I get spun up in desire I disappear in your ocean baby And now we’re blissfully at sea And I wonder if it could be We’re done with all the commotion maybe Pre Yes it it true that we both took the longer way We got our scars But the stars point to better days Wind in our sails And a brand new melody Chorus Do do do do do do do do Solo Pre Here we are now at the top Looking down below Smiling so wide at the thought of Where this could go Wind in our sails And this brand new melody Ch Repeat

Happy Song By: John Torres V1 Well you said That I Should only write happy songs I promised that I’d try Well you make Me feel Like writing you happy songs Songs for you and I Ch So let’s dance when we wanna Know that we’re gonna do Whatever we wanna do Let’s sing from from the rooftops Love away tear drops It’s not hard it easy As long as I have you V2 Well your smile makes me wanna write happy songs And your heart is just so pure. No ma- -tter what I might be going through That smile is always the cure Ch So let’s dance when we wanna Know that we’re gonna do Whatever we wanna do Let’s sing from from the rooftops Love away tear drops It’s not hard it easy As long as I have you Bridge You help me see Life is good We’re not meant to be so sad Look what’s around Hear the sounds The worlds not so bad

Same Mistakes (by: Jon Brion) - John Torres Cover 01:58
lyrics
buy track
I got tired, I killed it through and through I don't wanna make the same mistakes The same mistakes with you I didn't lie, but I withheld the truth I don't wanna make the same mistakes The same mistakes with you The line is thin between a selfish act And things you do to keep yourself intact I could name a few I did a lot that I could not undo I don't wanna make the same mistakes The same mistakes with you
