19 DAYS
Brent Braniff Chad Wheeling
THE SUN WILL GO DOWN FOR SURE
THE DAY THEY FIND A CURE
FOR ALL THE TROUBLE THAT I MADE
AND THE DEEPER PRICE WE PAID
I GOT 19 DAYS
OF DRIVIN’ ON A DIRT ROAD
19 DAYS
TO WASH IT ALL AWAY
19 DAYS
OF WALKING ON A SIDE STREET
19 DAYS
TO TELL YOU I CAN’T STAY
19 DAYS
I GOT 19 DAYS
THESE DAYS WHEN I PRAY
FOR THE PAIN TO GO AWAY
I FOLLOW YOU DOWN TO THE TREES
AND GET DOWN ON MY KNEES
SO WHEN THIS ENDS IT ENDS FOREVER
NOBODY WANTS A SECOND CHANCE
YOU SAY OK AND NOTHINGS FOREVER
YOU’RE THE VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE
SO IN THE COOL DAKOTA DAWN
I’LL TURN THE KEY AND DRIVE RIGHT ON

MONDAY TRAIN
BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING
I took the pill and kissed your photograph
You think Im stupid so I had to laugh
This is all I have of you
And this is what I have to do
I picked the day and found this number
And you know I waiting for the train
You ride the Monday...Ride the Monday train
Don't you know I'd wait a month of Sundays
To ride a train that only runs on Mondays
Most boys never look good in red
They'd rather wear blue instead
It's a part of me that can't get through to you...
But every pill I take...Won't stop the night
Won't keep the dream away....Won't trick the light
Half way to heaven
There's a little place I know
I like to stop there...I like to feel
What it's like to let go.
And you know I'm waiting for the train
Ride the Monday....Ride the Monday Train.

RED STAR
Brent Braniff Chad Wheeling
I see apartments
I see the road
I hear the voice of a child alone
As I sleep under a bright star
A call from the hillside
A call of the wild
A voice from the distance, the voice of a child
As I sleep under a bright star
Sleep under a bright star
And I’m letting it out. Letting it out again
I’m letting it out. Letting it out again
Please let me ride on your shoulders
Held so tightly by your hands
I’m so tall now. Don’t want this over
Don’t want this to end.
So bring back the heart beat you knew as a boy
When time was a plaything
And life was a toy
So sound asleep under a bright star
Now I grab for the wonder of wide open skies
And see all the splendor with wide open eyes
And I dance under a bright star
Dance under a bright star
Dance under a bright star

HOLDING DOWN THE FORT
BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING
Everything is over
We're holding down the fort
Once again
Everyone is over
We're burning down all hope
Once again
We're making this a refuge
We're living off the cuff
We're looking mighty happy
But feeling mighty rough
Everything is over
We'll turn the tide and march
Up that hill
Stealing all the wonder
We're holding tight
'Cause we ain't got our fill
We stripped away the panic
And laid to rest the fear
We broadside every motion
And wiped away the tears
It's the sound of shadows
It's the sound of living here.
It's the sound of living here.

ONE IS YOU
BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING
I call it erotic
You call it profane
I say it's exotic
You say I'm insane
But what about us?
Is that what I made you do?
What about us?
How can I convince you
That one is two?
You pray for redemption
And walk into the light
Take others opinion
For what you do at night
But what about us?
Tell me what I should do?
What about us?
So far I can't convince you
That one is two.
Makes me want to run away
Run away and hide
Can't tell you anything
I can't confide.
Whispers in darkness
Double means and lies
Secret admissions
To our desires in life
Give it all up
Tell me to walk away
Give it all up
And if I don't stay
Then one is you
Then one is you
Then one is you
Then one is you

TICKET TO MOSCOW
BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING
Starting over came to soon
From right away to the seventh of June
But life's a bitch and there you are
Can't fly away so I'll use the car
And I'll roll the window down
and say goodbye to this Northern town.
Buy me a ticket to Moscow
I parked the car so you wouldn't wait forever
Kicked up the radio...ooo I'm acting so clever
So I'll wish you o so well
While I'm drowning in this hell
Buy me a ticket to Moscow
It sent you the keys to come right home
I'm cold and lonely and dying alone
I'll buy you a ticket to Moscow.

KICK THE DAY OVER
BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING
How many times must be dance together
Around the same words
All of this time it seems absurd
We've given it more than the best of shots
Are we wasting our time?
Home many times do we say we're sorry
Before we feel fine?
I'm out of the blue
And into the night
I'm having the feeling
That I just might
Kick the Day over.
I'm shaking my head
Trying to feel okay
Nothings worse than today
I started with sunshine but came home gray.
Can't help but feel I'm second rate
Cause I see it in your face
Talking about it would be fine
But I'd still loose the race.
Give me a glass and pour me a drink
and I'll be on my way
I've fallen before and I'll get up again
So why should I stay?
I'm taking on everyone
That told me I'm free
I'm leading on
Everyone
Consequently.
I'm into the blue
and turned on the light
Still having the feeling
That I just might
Kick the day over.

MY SWEET INGENUE
BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING
Wanna drive to the city
Land of the cheap and pretty
Wanna stay in a dirt motel
Wanna cover you in kisses
Wanna smell your cheap cologne
Want you to fuck me
The leave me alone
My sweet ingenue
What are you gonna do
My sweet ingenue
What are you gonna do
ooo My sweet ingenue
I bought you a postcard
From the local arcade
To say that I'm sorry
For the debt that you paid
I wrote you a letter
With my very own pen
But I chickened out
And I signed it John Glenn
Ooo Not tonight
Not tonight
Baby not tonight
You took all my letters
And you threw them away
Gave all the postcards
To a local DJ
And said you'll find all your kisses
Being sold for a buck
'Cause baby you're the one
Thats a dirty cheap fuck.

I'M NOT YOUR FAVORITE
BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING
Ten minutes more and I'd have had you...for sure
But every word I spoke came out....a blur.
I know I'm not your favorite
That I figured out.
I know I'm not your favorite
Ooo Without a doubt.
So I would drive alone on this...country road
And pass your parent's house in a sorry stealthy mode.
I know you're not this lonely
You have boys galore
But I keep hoping there'd be room...for one more
Here's to the lonely
Here's to the one and only
The one and only
Please give a passing thought to those...old and poor
Maybe a little wink could you think of anymore
Falling in love is for losers
That's a sorry fact
It's just I need the action
But that's another act....

NORTHERN LIGHTS
BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING
Is this a sign I'm going
To where I always came
To a road I've taken
But I'm not the same
The trees are shaking winter
The boys are having fun
Their eyes are filled with wonder
I wish could be one
Oh I wish I could be one.
I've got my hopes
I've got a window
And every reason for my escape
When the sun greets every morning
I expect the world to change it's shape.
In silence I may find
That I can't set behind
And I'll just stay here in bed
The life I seem to lack
Is the life I'll never get back
So I'll just stay here instead.

SAVING THE WORLD
BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING
Standing on the rooftops
Listening to the gunshots
Falling apart at the seems
Nothing is never like dreams
You never knew how much I wanted
To hold you near that night
But I don't understand it anymore
No, I don't understand it anymore
If you only just open that door
'Cause I don't understand it anymore
Now you wanted to save the world
But no one's saving me
Now you wanted to save the world
Please save it for me.
Please save it for me.
Falling apart at the seems
Nothing is ever like dreams
But, I don't understand it anymore
No I don't understand it anymore
If only just open that door
'Cause I don't understand.

SUPERBOY
BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING
There are few ways
I can sing in praise of shirtless boys
On summer days
Kissed by the sun
You were lead astray
Running down and open road
But you knew you'd pay for it in the end.
Gone is the seas and the sky
Don't know if I should laugh or if I should cry
I'm hanging on
But it won't last long
'Cause I'm superboy
I'm letting go
Like the setting sun
I've fallen short
'Cause I'm not your son
And I'm not your toy
So who has lost and who has won.
These long nights are weighing me down
These long days are coming after

TODAY
BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING
It's easy to say
To the soldier in the sun
That things will never go that way
It's better to know
That the fight is never won
Than to worry about it day after day.
If you never grow up
Than you'll never get down
When down is only here to stay
You've got to see
That you're the light of my world
Today
I'm following an emotion
I've set this free right on time
I'm shutting out the commotion
And saying all this right on the line
Somehow I never gave up
Some how I never let down
Cause down is nowhere I should stay
If you never give up
In your heart you'll know
There's no silence in the world

TEXTING THE EX
BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING
We sat on a dirt road
And drove in the night
We said we were lovers
But we weren't to bright
We came into promise
But we were foolish wrecks
Oh sweetheart, don't text the ex
You can let him know later, just don't text the ex.
We broke up that morning
Went are separate ways
It must have meant something to me
'Cause I cried for days
Was a sweeter love
Or an excuse for all that sex
Oh baby don't text the ex
He can read about it later, just don't text the ex
Oh it'll can tell you nothing
Nothing I'd say or do turned out right
I'm king of the highway, king of the night
If my hands weren't shaking
Praying for the light
King of the highway, king of the night.
Saw the morning sun
It's what I want but never expect
Oh baby, just don't text the ex
He can read about it later, oh, don't text the ex

WE'LL GET YOU DOWN
BRENT BRANIFF AND CHAD WHEELING
You always made a hellish sound
When you left the lost and found
You cage me looks that it was over once again.
And this time I could set you free
'Cause this is a prison door to me
The panic in my word is over once again
Yest it's over
I can feel like getting around
Yes it's over
One way or not
We'll get ya down
You gotta pay for the hours
You gotta pay for the days
Just gather up your superpowers
You might get your way.
So make your distance dear from me
From sea to shining crystal sea
'Cause I'll bet this night's not over once again
So it's over
And I can hear your hellish sound
Yes it's over
One way or not I'm climbing down
