LYRICS FOR AM’s Debut Album TROUBLED TIMES

GONE AWAY
I sit around
Nothing’s the same
I’m looking for answers
But I’m already late

You say you need me
One more night’
Then you’re packing your bags
Saying it’s all right

I don’t know why
I wait and I wait
I’m looking for something
But you’re not gonna change

Turn around and I see the hope fading
Now you’ve gone away

Keep on moving like you’re so unaware
You’re looking for answers but you’re already there
You see the road but you don’t the way
You’re coming around and then you’re pulling away

i don’t know why I wait and I wait
I’m looking for something but you’re not gonna change

Turn around and I see the hope fading
Now you’ve gone away

PLAYING THE GAME
Give me something to talk about
Take your time
Tell me something to do without
I’ll wait in line
I don’t know
What to say
Move along
Anyway
Take it slow
Lonely road
Is the path
That I seem to follow

All I want to do is be true to my ways
Leaning back and forward we’re playing the game
All this pain I’ve cause you I know it by name
Taking this ticket walking away

Taking all that has come and gone
You know we’re wrong

Watching everyone hum along
We’re still untold

Fall in love
Let it go
I don’t know
What it’s for
Take a stand
Falling down
Dig on in
Cuz it’s all that you’ve got now

TROUBLED TIMES
Waiting
You sit alone
Feelings have all faded
You’re wondering why you have stayed
You’re looking for some answers
Hoping there’s some other way
Just tell me when you’re ready
We’ll get you far far away
Far from these troubled times

Looking at the way you stand and fall
Seems like everything you’ve had is gone
Tell me that you’ve heard this all before
I’ll say it anyway

Leave this
You’ve seen that road
Just find another city
Get this out of your way
You’re hiding out wondering
How to get rid of this pain
You talk a bunch of nothing
Seems so easy to see
You’ve seen enough troubled times

SO LONELY
You once asked me
Why did I do it
Wasn’t nothing to it I found
Cuz you stole me
Thinking you owned me
But you’re so lonely now
And you were worried
Making up stories
Hoping I would be out
And you ruled me
Saying what would be
Now I just see you around

I’ll tell you something
You’re not gonna win this time because I’m through
You’re good for nothing
You saw right through me I don’t think you knew
Who the hell I was

And I was waiting
Thinking you were changing
Hoping you’d turn this around
But you were faking
Hanging on maybe
Now you’re just lost in the crowd
And you fooled me
Saying you knew me
You were just keeping me down
And you were crazy
Thinking you’d change me
Now I’m just walking on out

RUNNING AWAY
Did I tell you I knew your name
But it seems that I’ve lost it
Did I tell you it’s my own game
This is not your problem

I don’t know if I’m gonna change
Wasting time and another day

I keep running away
Even from the good things

DId I tell you it’s not that bad
Sitting over here dreaming
Did I tell you I’m right on track
This time I mean it

I don’t know if I’m gonna change
Wasting time and another day

I keep running away
Even from the good things

MAINSTAY
I don’t mean to tell you something about you
But you’re looking unsettled
Lone riders pulling all nighters
But you’re always nice and steady
Weigh stations got your troubles parading
But the problems never seem to hang on
Unabated so you must have been hated
Everybody’s got to clean up faking

I don’t wanna tell you cuz you’re looking that way
Fine tooth combing everyone that you know
Sit around and wonder how you keep up the mainstay
Take a look around can you fight this feeling

You’re fine looking but it seems you’re undusted
Have you anything to say
And roads traveled are desires unsaddled
But you’re going all the way
And I’ve fallen so you say that I’m wasted
But you’re moving on and doing nothin’
You’re losing faith in all the things that you’ve tasted
Don’t you know what you’re missing

CITY SYNDROME
Looking out at the city so bright
Not sure if it’s imagined or real
Show me something that you’d always want to hide
And then we’ll get away
You always wanted to say what you feel
But all those right hands keep telling you wrong
Got another who’s just stepping on your heels
Got to get away
Get away from

All these troubled and all of these lies
Find yourself a reason
Leave tonight
Take your chances
Feeling alright
And then we’ll fade away
Fade away tonight

Helpless highways looking alone
Seen nothing but the worst of your times
All in all it ‘s got you climbing up the walls
You gotta get away
Get away from

All these troubled and all of these lies
Find yourself a reason
Leave tonight
Take your chances
Feeling alright
And then we’ll fade away
Fade away tonight

WAYSIDE
It’s hard to come back when you’re far from home
Up all night with all that I’ve ever known
Wish I could give you things that you need
Wish I could need you but I walk alone

But I sit by the wayside
Feeling all that I’ve lost and found
We’ re so incomplete
But I know
I know I’ll never come around
But I’ve got you on my mind

Try to catch up but I fall behind
Too busy checking out what’s on the side
Wish I could tell you what you want to hear
Wish I could tell you that it’s all a lie

But I sit by the wayside
Feeling all that I’ve lost and found
We’ re so incomplete
But I know
I know I’ll never come around
But I’ve got you on my mind

HOME
Waiting for the sun to rise
Was it something I said
Feeling all that is right and wrong
Mixing up in my head
Won’t you just let me come around
Cuz you know that I can
Bring me back to just what I know
A home
I’m alone

All troubled pass in time
And we can make it through
You tell me that it’s not what I say
But what I can do
I can’t make it alone
I want to come home

Blinded by these city lights
Now they just got in the way
And it’s so lonely this evening town
It makes no sense anyway
Now it’s what you say that I’m riding on
Cuz all those times I let you down
You were there to stay

All troubles pass in time
And we can make it through
You tell me that it’s not what I say
But what I can do
I can’t make it alone
I want to come home

LOSING YOU
I saw a road that had no end
I wanted you
So I followed it
And what you take is what you should give
But the stories came
And the stories went
I gave so much of myself to you
But that’s alright
I wanted to
Nothing learned don’t know what to do
There’s no lesson here
I’m losing you

Now you wanted nothing we talked about
I thought I had
You figured out
I had so much to give you now
I was sure of you
But you had your doubts
Now don’t you worry you’re not to blame
I’ve been on your side
Playing those games
Now you’re just in a different place
There’s nothing left
Let’s walk away
