Remaining 3 DC songs

I'm getting bored of posting the DC songs, so I'm just going to put all the rest of the ones that haven't gone missing in this one thread. There's only 3 of them, and I only have a definete writing credit in one of them ... again though I can't remember which parts I wrote specifically.

Back to my lyrics next post!

Straight Out Of Dry County - Credited just to DC, I don't think I wrote on it though - March 2004

Pacing this rented room
That should've been my home
Waiting for the sun to set
On everything I've known
Waiting for the stars
That'll light my way
Part of me is straining to run
And part of me wants to stay
I don't know when I decided
This place was slowly killing me
Taking my life away, one day at a time
How could I have been so blind
Now I see
For so long
I was just like everyone else
Unknowing, unwitting
Ignoring everything I knew I felt
About how wrong this all was
Nothing here can ever be right
How can you live
How can you dream
With the flaming gates still burning bright
The only light in this timeless infinite night

Chorus:
Straight Outta Dry County
Tonight I ride free
No one's gotten out alive
But that's fine by me
My hands won't be tied
I'm getting out of here
Dead or alive
Some things mean more than life
I'll live free or die


The clock strikes nine
And I step outside
Feel the wind on my face
Why now do I feel so alive
When this may be
The last night I'll ever see
They won't let me go without a fight
I've just got myself, all alone
I'm gonna do this on my own
Darkness falls
Its time to go

Chorus:
Straight Outta Dry County
Tonight I ride free
No one's gotten out alive
But that's fine by me
My hands won't be tied
I'm getting out of here
Dead or alive
Some things mean more than life
I'll live free or die

Spoken: Do you know what it means to fear nothing? It means
you love nothing so much you'd miss it. That's what I'm
running to tonight. I'm running to love, and fear. And no
one is getting in my way. One way or another, tonight I'm
free. I WILL be free!!!


Start Over Now - Adrian - August 2004

You're livin' in a brave new world
Can't stop and look back
Gotta move forward
You have to live in the future
Not stuck in the past

Chorus:
Start Over Now
Don't you think its time?
This is your wake-up call
Its time to re-align
Realize this dream
Gotta find a way somehow
This is your wake-up call
Start Over...Now

You never run out of chances
There's always another day
Somehow you'll clear the slate
Find yourself a better way

Chorus:
Start Over Now
Don't you think its time?
This is your wake-up call
Its time to re-align
Realize this dream
Gotta find a way somehow
This is your wake-up call
Start Over...Now

You don't even have to know
You can just pretend
The past has never happened
And you can start again

Nothin' ever happened
You can start again...

Chorus:
Start Over Now
Don't you think its time?
This is your wake-up call
Its time to re-align
Realize this dream
Gotta find a way somehow
This is your wake-up call
Start Over...Now


Wake Me Up - Me and Adrian - I guess sometime in 2004

The last time, I thought it was over
That's it, and I was done
Back then I knew it was the end
But now the feeling's gone
Oh, and I've been numb so long
Didn't think I could ever feel like this again
Today is different
Now I feel so new
Didn't think anyone
Could make me feel the way I do

Can you...

Chorus:
Wake Me Up
And open my eyes
Wake Me Up
Can you teach me how to fly
So I can leave this all behind
Wake Me Up
And show me how to feel alive
Can you Wake Me Up

What happened to get us here today
Past is cloudy beyond right now
But for once my future is clear
I lived my life in the void
And now that you're here
I can see I've got nothing to fear
It all came unravelled
Now I feel so new
So wind the thread tightly
Give me my chance renewed
Can you...

Chorus:
Wake Me Up
And open my eyes
Wake Me Up
Can you teach me how to fly
So I can leave this all behind
Wake Me Up
And show me how to feel alive
Can you Wake Me Up

Chorus:
Wake Me Up
And open my eyes
Wake Me Up
Can you teach me how to fly
So I can leave this all behind
Wake Me Up
And show me how to feel alive
Can you Wake Me Up

For all the times I lost my way
And all the times I thought I'd gone
The three hands must march on
And it's for you I'll always pray
To take me out of all that's wrong
Find a better place for us
A place where we belong.....

Show me how to feel again
Show me how to dream again
Show me how to love again
All my life is new

Can you...

Chorus:
Wake Me Up
And open my eyes
Wake Me Up
Can you teach me how to fly
So I can leave this all behind
Wake Me Up
And show me how to feel alive
Can you Wake Me Up
