Lyrics:
Did you say something?
I know you’ve been singing ‘bout the whole world doing you wrong
But it doesn’t mean nothing
You don’t have to worry, you just gotta sing a brand new song
Let go of the hands that hold you down
You gotta jump till your feet don’t touch the ground
Get up and get out (yeah)
Twist and shout (yeah)
Dream out loud (yeah)
I’ve been thinking that it’s time for you
To get up and get out
If you wanna say something
You just gotta say it, there’s no way you can be doing it wrong
Cause it doesn’t mean nothing
No matter how you sing it, you’re the only one who’s singing your song
Let go of the hands that hold you down
You gotta jump till your feet don’t touch the ground
Get up and get out (yeah)
Twist and shout (yeah)
Dream out loud (yeah)
I’ve been thinking that it’s time for you
To get up and get out
Get up and get out (yeah)
Twist and shout (yeah)
Dream out loud (yeah)
I’ve been thinking that it’s time for you
To get up and get out (yeah)
Twist and shout (yeah)
Dream out loud (yeah)
I’ve been thinking that it’s time for you
To get up and get out

Bedroom

Lyrics:
It’s different outside your bedroom
It’s different when it’s for real
It’s different when what’s on show is what you feel
It’s different there in the spotlight
And the arrows are yours to take
It’s different when you’re the one to make or break
Well, it’s a lie in your mind that you wasted all this time
And you really only want it to be right
It is time, to be sure that you’re really wanting more
To be all that you could see then in your mind
Oh, where will you go?
Now that you know?
Where will you go?
Now that you know?
It’s different when you finally get there
And you see now that you could lose
It’s different when you’re the one who has to prove
It’s different when everyone’s waiting
And they’re wondering what you’ll say
But this is what you signed up for anyway
Well, it’s a lie in your mind that you wasted all this time
And you really only want it to be right
It is time, to be sure that you’re really wanting more
To be all that you could see then in your mind
Oh, where will you go?
Now that you know?
Where will you go?
Now that you know?
Well, it’s a lie in your mind that you wasted all this time
And you really only want it to be right
It is time, to be sure that you’re really wanting more
To be all that you could see then in your mind
Oh, where will you go?
Now that you know?
Where will you go?
Now that you know?
Oh, where will you go?
Now that you know?
Where will you go?
Now that you know?

Always Wrong
03:50
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
I think I’m gonna have to spend the night at home
In fact, I think I’d rather spend my life alone
Than have live it always hearing
How I’m always wrong
You really think you get to tell me what to be
You really think you get to live my life for me
Since you know better how to live it
Cause I’m always wrong
If you don’t like the way I live my life, then I can’t do nothing for you
Every day you sing a different verse, but it’s always the same old song
If you know better, then how do you think that I did just fine before you?
Now that I know I’ll never get it right, then I’ll just do my own thing
Cause I’m always wrong
Now, there’s no reason you can’t find something to love
But you love it only when you feel above
All us little common people
Cause we’re always wrong
It might be better if you ever checked yourself
But you will always lay the blame on someone else
So you don’t have to be responsible
They’re always wrong
If you don’t like the way I live my life, then I can’t do nothing for you
Every day you sing a different verse, but it’s always the same old song
If you know better, then how do you think that I did just fine before you?
Now that I know I’ll never get it right, then I’ll just do my own thing
Cause I’m always wrong
Always wrong
I know that I might never get it through to you
I know it really might just be a shock to you
That no one wants to be with one who says
They’re always wrong
You’ll never know the kind of man I know I am
And that I always try to be best I can
But it doesn’t even matter
Cause I’m always wrong
If you don’t like the way I live my life, then I can’t do nothing for you
Every day you sing a different verse, but it’s always the same old song
If you know better, then how do you think that I did just fine before you?
Now that I know I’ll never get it right
Then I might as well do, and only will do, just do my own thing
Cause I’m always wrong

I Was Waiting
03:58
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Looking for meaning, looking for “I”
While looking in my lover’s eyes
So many questions, but still no reply
To why love would leave me behind
Till I thought I’d go out of my mind (pause)
I was waiting
for someone to know me
And waiting
to let someone own me
And waiting,
all of this time I was wrong
I was waiting for me all along
If I could just change me, I wouldn’t be alone
Not believing in love without proof
I thought I could solve it, and all on my own
And tripped up when that proved untrue
And all of this time I blamed you (pause)
I was waiting for someone to know me
And waiting to let someone own me
And waiting, all of this time I was wrong
I was waiting for me all along
Waiting for me all along
Waiting for me all along
Waiting for me all along
Waiting for me all along

Overnight Song
04:50
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
I met a girl who thought she’d take me on for a while
She built me up and then she knocked me down with a smile
Just when it seemed as though we might just walk down the aisle
She was still thinking of somebody else all the while
But we danced with no music so slowly
And for a time it all seemed so holy
When I offered my hand to help her climb up
She said she was not ready to fly
The time that comes after is always much worse than before
And trying to stand up is so hard when you’re used to the floor
When love’s an addiction that one can’t survive anymore
The only thing worse than the sickness sometimes is the cure
But we danced with no music so slowly
And for a time it all seemed so holy
When I offered my hand to help her climb up
She said she was not ready to fly
She was not ready to fly
She was not ready to fly
She was not ready to fly
I thought that I’d left it behind till I came back to town
It wasn’t long before she finally came back around
She asked me to save her but I was quite done going down
If it’s sink or swim, then I am not ready to drown
But we danced with no music so slowly
And for a time it all seemed so holy
When I offered my hand to help her climb up
She said she was not ready to fly
And we danced with no music so slowly
And for a time it all seemed so holy
When I offered my hand to help her climb up
She said she was not ready to fly
She was not ready to fly
She was not ready to fly
She was not ready to fly
She was not ready to fly

Whoever You Are
03:43
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Seems like my heart
Gets a permanent scar
Every time that I let myself fall
And it feels so naïve
Still to believe
There’s love here for me after all
If I believe that you’ll come someday
Then I know I’ll think of some way
But for now, I’ll just say from afar
That I love you, whoever you are
I’ll leave a space
If you can replace
These bad times so clear in my mind
Just another day
Closer to saying
That you have shown up right on time
I know not everything that I do
Makes me more worthy of you
But I know I’ll be better by far
Cause I love you, whoever you are
All my life, I have tried to come home
To someone that I’ve never known
And the distance to you seems so far
But I love you, whoever you are
And I hope it was worth every day
Our lifetimes have kept us away
But for now, I’ll just wish on a star
And I love you, whoever you are

Now I've Found You
03:32
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Now I’ve found you, thoughts surround you
I won’t stand in your way
Words are spoken, walls are broken
And you have come here to stay
As I come to your house
You put words in my mouth
For all that I’ve wanted to say
And I’d stand at your door
And dare to want more
Of your love than I’ll ever repay
Now you’ve found me, the thought astounds me
As I walk in your way
Shine your light to come and find you
If I ever should stray
As I come to your house
You put words in my mouth
For all that I’ve wanted to say
And I’d stand at your door
And dare to want more
Of your love than I’ll ever repay
Now I've found you
As I come to your house
You put words in my mouth
For all that I’ve wanted to say
And I’d stand at your door
And dare to want more
Of your love than I’ll ever repay
Now I’ve found you, thoughts surround you
And you have come here to stay

Won't Stop Singing
04:59
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Everybody’s doing all the talking and it seems like they got nothing to say
Everybody’s talks like only they know the way
Everybody’s pointing and they’re laughing at how I got to feeling this way
Everybody thinks they know how I’m feeling today
My guitar’s got rusty stings
And I’m no man of independent means
But you don’t need to rescue me tonight
‘Cause I won’t stop singing tonight
Not when the music’s got me feeling so right
No, I won’t stop singing tonight
If only on the inside
Everybody walking like they’re winning and I’m trying not to get in the way
Everybody only looks for what’s coming their way
Everybody’s doing all the talking and it seems like they got nothing to say
And even if nobody’s listening I’ll just sing anyway
All I own are broken things
Waiting by a phone that never rings
But you won’t need to rescue me tonight
‘Cause I won’t stop singing tonight
Not when the music’s got me feeling so right
No, I won’t stop singing tonight
If only on the inside
All my friends know everything
But they don’t even know what I mean
When I say, “Please don’t rescue me tonight!”
‘Cause I won’t stop singing tonight
Not when the music’s got me feeling so right
No, I won’t stop singing tonight
If only on the inside
I won’t stop singing tonight
I won’t stop singing tonight
I won’t stop singing tonight
I won’t stop singing tonight

Tony Meade Denver, Colorado
Tony Meade’s music is as contradictory as its creator… Romance and cynicism. Hope and longing. Beauty and grit. These are the things that define the music and the musician. A contradiction that somehow makes sense.
Tony Meade recommends:
