The MudflapsMy World
Sometimes in the darkest night
You wake up to the edge of life
Take a chance, one more time
Use your body, waste your mind
I wake up to the setting sun
I wake up to the damage done
I'm not aware, I'm not awake
I'm all alone with my mistakes
Time, Time, watch the world spin
Time, Time, here I go again
This is my world
This is my world
This is my world
This is my world
Stop and think, stop and do
Everything you wanted to
Take it in, take it on
And show me how you can be strong
Time, Time, watch the world spin
Time, Time, here you go again
This is your world
This is your world
This is your world
This is your world

Track 2
The MudflapsLullaby Angel
There was an angel
Standing beside you
She came up to your bedside
To tell you the whole truth
And I saw your tears fall
I heard you cry
There's been too much between you
For sad goodbyes
There was a stranger
Walking in your shoes
She was someone familiar
Someone you once knew
And I heard you tell her
"Go on your way,
This is my heart now,
There is no room for you to stay"
Lullaby angel, stay close to me
Lullaby angel, sleep
There is a dreamer
Waiting inside you
She is starting to break down
Trying to break through
I heard you tell her
"I am afraid -
I know just what I want, but
I'm not sure what price I'll pay"
Lullaby angel, stay close to me
Lullaby angel, sleep
Lullaby angel, stay close to me
Lullaby angel, sleep

Track 3
The MudflapsShelter
Where could there be shelter for the child
I know nobody ever really means to let go
There, like a dark dream inside these eyes
I know that some weariness is starting to show
And you wake, but you still are sleeping
And you hear, but you still are speaking
And you bend, but you still are breaking
And you stand, but you still are shaking
Truth has no room inside a heart too blind
To see what it was love had taken from me
Give, just enough to find the answers I knew
And have I really forgotten you so soon?
And you wake, but you still are sleeping
And you hear, but you still are speaking
And you bend, but you still are breaking
And you stand, but you still are shaking

Track 4
The MudflapsBeen Awhile
You, in the corner
Looking at me with those big, bright eyes
Oh darlin', you could have warned me
But I guess, I know
It really comes as no surprise
It's been awhile
It's been a long, long time
It's been awhile
I was yours and you were mine
Well I remember
You were a storm coming down
When you blew into my life
And I was a part of a dream
That you had late, one dark, dark night
It's been awhile
It's been a long, long time
It's been awhile
I was yours and you were mine

Track 5
The MudflapsBright Stars
Love is a circle I drew
Love was a stone that you threw
I wasn't looking to choose
I wasn't looking for you
What would you give for it now?
Dancing alone and on your way down
Living with or without
What could I offer you now?
I want to be with you
Of all that is tried, all that is true
I want to stay with you
Under bright stars, under blue moons
This is the circle I drew
Into the circle, the stone that you threw
I wasn't looking to choose
I wasn't looking for you
What would I give for it now?
Dancing alone, on my way down
Living with or without
What could I offer you now?
I want to be with you
Of all that is tried, all that is true
I want to stay with you
Under bright stars, under blue moons
Under bright stars, under blue moons
Under bright stars, under blue moons

Track 6
The MudflapsFlashback
There's something in your eyes
Telling me you think you want to
Start it all again...
That you never said goodbye
And reaching out your hand
As you turn and whisper to me...
You were hoping I would have
The heart to understand
Oooh, we are lonely little girls
Oooh, we are lonely little boys
Oooh, and we're taking on the world
One too many reasons
One too many choices
Flashback, to another place and time
Flashback, when you were mine
Flashback, to another place and time
Flashback, when you were mine
Call it what you may
Emotion versus reason
And reasons we go on
And the reasons we let go
And the things we mean to say
The things we say we mean...
They can be two different voices
Shouting out the same
Oooh, we are lonely little girls
Oooh, we are lonely little boys
Oooh, and we're taking on the world
One too many reasons
One too many choices
Flashback, to another place and time
Flashback, when you were mine
Flashback, to another place and time
Flashback, when you were mine

Track 7
The MudflapsThe Window
I stood at the window
Well I swear I heard you laugh
It's been hard to let you go
But I know, I can't go back
'Cuz freedom dangles like a broken chain
And wisdom hits me like a cold, hard rain
I lost the fear, but I still feel afraid
That my hour has slipped away
I sit at the window
Well I swear I saw your face
It's been hard to let you go
What I know, I can't replace
'Cuz freedom dangles like a broken chain
And wisdom hits me like a cold, hard rain
I lost the fear, but I still feel afraid
That my hour has slipped away
