I don’t know what to do again I’m sitting on the fence again But in my defense common sense ain’t common I thought i had it figured out You’d think that I would know by now who I am But it seems that I’ve forgotten I’m to damn proud to ask for help I’m doing everything myself And I’m tired I need a helping hand Or someone who just understands I don’t know what to do again I’m sounding out a friend again I know I tend to do that often But I don’t really want to talk I think I’m going to take a walk So here I am on the lonely streets of Boston Being to damn proud to ask for help Means doing everything yourself And getting tired I need a helping hand Or someone who just understands One step forward Two steps back So many times that I’ve lost track and i I need oh I need direction Going round in circles Playing it safe Coz I don’t want to make mistakes I want perfection but I need a helping hand or someone who just understands Oooh x 4 ©jasonsibiokumumusic

Now You Know (free) 02:47
I'm in a dream I'm standing on a stage Sixty thousand people screaming my name I'm singing a song a song and they know all the words They're singing so loud my voice cannot be heard And i've wanted to be here for so long I know that when i wake up in the morning it's gone You ask me what i want when i grow up well now you know I'm in a dream and you are by my side We're lying in bed and your hand is wrapped in mine We've got no where to go and no one has to leave Our love is safe so we can finally breath And i've wanted you right here for so long I know that when i wake up in the morning you're gone You ask me what i want when i grow up well now you know Oh I've wanted to be here for so long I know that when i wake up in the morning it's gone You ask me what i want when I grow up well know you know Now you know Now you know

On Your Side (free) 01:46
Careful what you wish for What if it comes true Before you're really ready Then what will you do? Tell me what you'd do my love If everything you're dreaming of Was given to you all at once Tell me what you'd do You want life to treat you right and im sure it will Just do yourself a favor and for a while be still Give yourself permission To just sit and listen Before you make decisions On where you wanna go Where'd you wanna go my love? The world is yours to travel What's your hurry take your time Life is on your side Life is on your side Life is on your side my love

Said and Done (free) 03:13
It’s you and me against an army So don’t leave me standing here alone I can’t fight them on my own Drop your guns And wrap your arms around me Let’s get lost in each other’s eyes for a while Just let the world crash and burn around us And pretend we make it out alive With nothing broken only minor scars They’ll tell tales about us and how brave we are we’ll just smile and thank all our lucky stars we’re alive I won’t lie The odds aren’t in our favor Do you recall a single time they were? We agreed we’d take the road less travelled So what you say we try A little harder coz it’s not over yet We’ve still got time to live with no regrets They’ll sing songs about us long after we’re gone When children ask to know bout how the war was won And they’ll be told we fought with love instead of guns Love’s the only thing you need when all is said and done And it’s all been said and done ©jasonsibiokumumusic

Winter (free) 02:14
It’s getting darker earlier on The leaves are changing color from Green to yellow big or small It won’t matter when they fall They’ll all hit the ground running It’s getting colder every day The sun is slowly making way The rain rides in to take its place The zealous smile upon his face Will soon leave this town running Winter is coming Bar all the doors tonight Hold those you love real tight And stay, steady now hush, be quite And wait for it to pass you by It’s getting darker earlier on The leaves are changing color from Green to yellow big or small It won’t matter when they fall ©jasonsibiokumumusic
