IM ON FIRE (Bonus Track)Produced by John Mayer and Steve Jordan

HEARTBREAK WARFARE ALL WE EVER DO IS SAY GOODBYE

Lightning strikes / Inside my chest to keep me up at night / Dream of ways / Tomake you understand my pain Clouds of sulfur in the air / Bombs are fallingeverywhere / Its heartbreak warfare / Once you want it to begin / No one reallyever wins / In heartbreak warfare If you want more love why dont you say so?/ If you want more love why dont you say so? Drop his name / Push it in andtwist the knife again / Watch my face / As I pretend to feel no pain, pain, pain.. Clouds of sulfur in the air / Bombs are falling everywhere / Its heartbreakwarfare / Once you want it to begin, / No one really ever wins / In heartbreakwarfare. If you want more love why dont you say so? / If you want more lovewhy dont you say so? / Just say so... How come the only way to know howhigh you get me is to see how far I fall? / God only knows how much Id loveyou if you let me but I cant break through it all. / Its a heart... heartbreak... Idont care if we dont sleep at all tonight / Lets just fix this whole thing now /I swear to God were gonna get it right / If you lay your weapon down . Redwine and Ambien Youre talking shit again, its heartbreak warfare / Good toknow its all a game / Disappointment has a name, its heartbreak, heartbreak./ Its heartbreak warfare / Its heartbreak warfare / Its heartbreak warfare

Just when I had you off my head / Your voice comes thrashing wildly throughmy quiet bed / You say you wanna try again / But Ive tried everything but givingin Why you wanna break my heart again / Why am I gonna let you try Whenall we ever do is say goodbye / All we ever do is say goodbye / All we ever do issay goodbye / All we ever do is say goodbye I bought a ticket on a plane / Andby the time it landed you had gone again / I love you more than songs can say /But i cant keep running after yesterday Why you wanna break my heart again/ Why am I gonna let you try when All we ever do is say goodbye / All we everdo is say goodbye / All we ever do is say goodbye We say goodbye / We saygoodbye / We say goodbye All we ever do is say goodbye / Oh, all we ever do issay goodbye / All we ever do is say goodbye / Oh, all we ever do is say goodbye

HALF OF MY HEART WHO SAYS

I was born in the arms of imaginary friends / Free to roam, made a homeout of everywhere ive been Then you come crashing in, like the realestthing / Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring Ohhalf of my hearts got a grip on the situation / Half of my heart takes time/ Half of my hearts got a right mind to tell you / That i cant keep loving you(cant keep loving you) / Oh, with half of my heart I was made to believeid never love somebody else / I made a plan, stay the man who can only lovehimself / Lonely was the song i sang, til the day you came / Showing me anotherway and all that my love can bring Oh half of my hearts got a gripon the situation / Half of my heart takes time / Half of my hearts got a rightmind to tell you That I cant keep loving you / (cant keep loving you) / Oh,with half of my heart / With half of my heart Your faith is strong / But ican only fall short for so long / Down the road, later on / You will hate thati never gave more to you than half of my heart / But i cant stop loving you /I cant stop loving you / I cant stop loving you / I cant stop loving you / Buti cant stop loving you with half of my Half of my heart / Oh half of myheart / Half of my hearts got a real good imagination / Half of my hearts gotyou / Half of my hearts got a right mind to tell you / That half of my heartwont do / Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding to a bride with a paper ring/ And half of my heart is the part of a man whos never truly loved anything /Half of my heart, oh half of my heart / Half of my heart, oh half of my hear

Who says I cant get stoned? / Turn off the lights and the telephone / Me in myhouse alone / Who says I cant get stoned? / Who says I cant be free? / From allof the things that I used to be / Rewrite my history / Who says I cant be free? Its been a long night in New York City / Its been a long night in Baton Rouge/ I dont remember you looking any better / But then again I dont rememberyou Who says I cant get stoned? / Call up a girl that I used to know / Fakelove for an hour or so / Who says I cant get stoned / Who says I cant take time?/ Meet all the girls on the county line / Wait on fate to send a sign / Who saysI cant take time? Its been a long night in New York City / Its been a longnight in Austin too / I dont remember you looking any better / But then again Idont remember you Who says I cant get stoned / Plan a trip to Japan alone /Doesnt matter if I even go / Who says I cant get stoned Its been a long nightin New York City / Its been a long time since Twenty-two / I dont rememberyou looking any better / But then again I dont remember, dont remember you

PERFECTLY LONELY ASSASSIN

Had a little love, but I spread it thin / Falling in her arms and out again / Madea bad name for my game around town / Tore up my heart, and shut it down Nothing to do, nowhere to be / A simple little kind of free / Nothing to do, noone but me / And thats all I need Im perfectly lonely / Im perfectly lonely/ Im perfectly lonely, yeah / Cause I dont belong to anyone and nobodybelongs to me I see friends around from time to time / When their ladieslet them slip away / And when they ask me how Im doing with mine / This isalways what I say Nothing to do, nowhere to be / A simple little kind of free /Nothing to do, no one to be / Is it really hard to see why Im perfectly lonely/ Im perfectly lonely / Im perfectly lonely / Im perfectly lonely, yeah / CauseI dont belong to anyone and nobody belongs to me And this is not to say /There never comes a day / Ill take my chances and start again / And when I lookbehind / On all my younger times / I have to thank the wrongs / That led meto a love so strong Im perfectly lonely / Im perfectly lonely / Im perfectlylonely, yeah / Cause I dont belong to anyone and nobody belongs to me Thats the way, thats the way, thats the way that I want it / Thats the way, thatsthe way, thats the way that I want it / Thats the way, thats the way, thats theway that I want it / Thats the way, thats the way, thats the way that I want it

I work in the dead of night / When the roads are quiet, no one is around /To track my moves / Racing the yellow lights / To find the gate is open, sheswaiting in the room / I just step on through You get in, you get done andthen you get gone / You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone /Should have turned around and left before the sun came up again / But thesun came up again Into the morning light / To find the day is burning thecurtains and the wine / In a little white room / No Im not alone / Her head isheavy on me, shes sleeping like a child / What could I do You get in, you getdone and then you get gone / You never leave a trace, or show your face, you getgone Should have turned around and left before the sun came up again / Butthe sun came up again I was a killer, was the best theyd ever seen / Id stealyour heart before you ever heard a thing / Im an assassin and I had a job todo / Little did I know that girl was an assassin too Suddenly Im in over myhead and I can hardly breathe / Suddenly Im floating over her bed and I feeleverything / Suddenly I know exactly what I did, but I can not move a thing /And suddenly I know exactly what Ive done / And what its gonna mean to me,mean to me / Im gone I was a killer, was the best theyd ever seen / Id stealyour heart before you ever heard a thing / Im an assassin and I had a job todo / Little did I know that girl was an assassin too Shes an assassin / Shesan assassin / Shes an assassin / Shes an assassin and she had a job to do

CROSSROADS WAR OF MY LIFE

I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my kneesI went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees

Asked the lord for mercy... said, help me if you pleaseI went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a rideI went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride

No one seemed to know me, everybody passed me byYou can run, You can run, tell my friend Willy BrownYou can run, you can run, tell my friend Willy Brown

That Im standing at the crossroads, I believe Im sinking down

Steve Jordan: Drums

Come out Angels / Come out Ghosts / Come out Darkness / Bring everyone youknow / Im not running Im not scared / I am waiting / And well prepared . Imin the war of my life / At the door of my life / Out of Time and theres no whereto run Ive got a hammer / And a heart of glass / I got to know right now /Which walls to smash / I got a pocket / Got no pill / If fear hasnt killed me yet,then nothing will All the suffering and all the pain / Never left a name Imin the war of my life / At the door of my life / Out of time and theres nowhereto run Im in the war of my life / At the core of my life / Got no choice but tofight til its done No more suffering, no more pain / Never again Im in thewar of my life / At the door of my life / Out of time and theres no where to run/ Im in the war of my life / At the core of my life / Got no choice but to fighttil its done So Fight on / Fight on everyone / Fight on / Got no choice butto fight til its done / I wont give up / I wont run / I wont stop for anyone

EDGE OF DESIRE DO YOU KNOW ME

Young and full of running, tell me where has that taking me? / Just a greatfigure eight or a tiny infinity? / Love is really nothing / But a dream that keepswaking me / For all of my trying, we still end up dying / How can it be? Dontsay a word, just come over and lie here with me / Cause Im just about to setfire to everything i see / I want you so bad Ill go back on the things I believe/ There I just said it / Im scared youll forget about me So young and fullof running / All the way to the edge of desire / Steady my breathing, silentlyscreaming / I have to have you now / Wired and Im tired / Think Ill sleep inmy clothes on the floor / Or maybe this mattress will spin on its axis / And findme on yours Dont say a word, just come over and lie here with me / CauseIm just about to set fire to everything I see / I want you so bad Ill go back onthe things I believe / There I just said it, Im scared youll forget about me

Its just the strangest thing / Ive seen your face somewhere / An earlyevening dream / A past-life love affair Do you know me at all?/ Do you know me at all? In all my revelry / I thought I felt us there / Afeather in my hand / A flower in your hair Do you know me at all? / Doyou know me at all? / Do you know me at all? / Do you know me at all?
