1. Odd As It Seems
04:12

Verse 1:
I overthink when I can't sleep
Heaven knows I've had enough to drink
I clear the smoke out of my eyes
And I can't leave I've had too much to drive
Pre-Chorus 1:
I pack a suitcase of my things
All my crumpled up pieces of paper
All my puppets and their strings
And I can fit all of my pride in the front pocket of my jeans
Odd as it seems
Chorus:
Watch me wonder aimlessly
Watch me wonder what it ever was you ever seen in me
I carry critics in my head
I think that mirror lies to me
Odd as it seems
Verse 2:
I don't know if I like being stoned
Heaven knows I hate to feel alone
When all the medication's gone
There's no convincing me
I'm never wrong
Pre-Chorus 2:
I'm used to sleeping on the floor
Closer to my destiny
I'll never fly with ravens, nevermore
And I've been known to cause a scene
To hide my personality
Odd as it seems
Chorus x 1
Solo/Mid Sec

2. Like I Do
03:31

|
Verse 1:
I see your eyes light up when she walks in the room
Your smile gets brighter every time she looks at you
I don't know if you know I notice when you stare
She's twenty four, she's unprepared and unaware
Chorus:
Will she love you like I do?
Will she love you like I do?
Verse 2:
When she's around you're always losing track of time
She makes you laugh, her jokes are funnier than mine
She's not so needy, well at least that's how it seems
She's over confident, she's prettier than me
Chorus x 1
Bridge:
I don't know what you're waiting for
Will you come running back for more
Chorus x 1
Breakdown:
I can forgive and forget all of your mistakes
But you might as well love her if loving me is a waste
Chorus x 3 (counter-melody with bridge)

3. Stony Ocean
03:19
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Just tell me something I wanna hear
Wrap your pain inside my fear
I don't want to hear it and I know it's hard to find
Out of sight, out of mind
Verse 2:
I'm drinking more than I can take
Inside the lines of my mistakes
I know you can hear me every time I call your name
Out of luck, out of frame
Chorus:
There's a whole lot of love that I've thrown away before
And it's sitting on the bottom of a stony ocean floor
And I can't help not understand what's turning me around
I gotta pick my love off that stony ocean ground
Verse 3:
I've seen a side of you like
Behind the side that's always right
I don't want to lose it but I know I can't decide
Am I wrong or am I right
Chorus x 1
Solo/Mid Sec

4. The Other Side Of You
03:43
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I look into your eyes and try to find the other side of you
Losing my direction, I get lost inside a hazy shade of blue
You say I've got a pretty voice but I talk to loud
Paint your pretty pictures on the inside of my silver lining now
Chorus:
Crazy is as crazy do
I want the other side of you (oh oh oh oh)
The other side of you (oh oh)
Verse 2:
I tell you all my deepest secrets but you never seem to care
Yet you're the Clyde to my Bonny, you're the Sonny to my Cher
You say I'm letting out the heat, I say I'm letting in the air
So if were listing out our problems then we might as well be fair
Chorus x 1
Bridge:
Crazy is as crazy do
I want the other side of you
Nothing that I wouldn't do
I want the other side of you
Chorus x 2
Outro
Crazy is as crazy do

5. Knocking On My Door
02:23
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I need to find the motivation to get me through your attitude
I've been trying all this time to put your needs ahead of mine
but baby now I know that you're no good
Chorus:
By the time I count to four
Don't wanna see you anymore
You're knocking on my door (ooh, ooh)
You're knocking on my door now
Verse 2:
I need to find another reason, a sign to stay here if I should
'cause every time I close my eyes you've gone and crossed another line
Can't put it down to being misunderstood
Chorus x 1
Verse 3:
You think I'm just a little woman but you're an itty bitty man
I can take you down to size, don't underestimate my pride
I'll put you in your place, yes I can
Chorus x 3
