Where have I been stranded,
Excuse me sir, do you have the time?
I'm lost here, been abandoned,
I'm just one of those who are left behind.
Then I see this sign on the road
And I pray a little more that I will get home,
I see this sign on the road
And I pray a little more that I will get home alright.
A sign to alert me,
Excuse me sir, but do you know why?
A sign that is working
To point me there, to get me by.
Then I see this sign on the road
And I pray a little more that I will get home,
I see this sign on the road
And I pray a little more that I will get home alright.
Where have I been stranded?
Excuse me sir, can you tell me why?
Then I see this sign on the road
And I pray a little more that I will get home,
I see this sign on the road
And I pray a little more that I will get home alright.

Coffee Girl (Acoustic)

I spoke to the coffee girl
Without a sound
Said that I could not afford
This luxury I found
I smiled at the coffee girl
And my eyes looked down
To see a pocket full of change
That I owe to her now
If one thing's for sure
I'm never gonna make it home
If I spill what I think out of my head
If one thing's for sure
By the time that I get home
I will turn around and go right back again...
I smiled at the coffee girl
She said with her eyes
"Well here's your cup of joe,
No, I don't have time"
So I'll go to the coffee shop
Just to say 'Hi'
I hope they do not mind it
When I pass them by
If one thing's for sure
I'm never gonna make it home
If I spill what I think out of my head
If one thing's for sure
By the time that I get home
I will turn around and go right back again...

Get Lost (Acoustic)
03:39

I would get lost in the grass and mud
And dirty up my shoes
Wandering around on days
With nothing else to do
Following the stream right to the pond,
That's where it ends,
And I would always find my way
Back home again.
I would poke a stick in to the ground
That nobody ever claimed
Make friends with the passersby
And give them a name
I was always running from the creatures
Hiding from me then
And I would always find my way
Back home again.
Step inside this world that lives alone
All on it's own
Others call it wilderness
But I would call it home
So beware of a box of things
That I had buried there
I found my way back home
And left it bare.
So if you find a box I left behind
Buried in the ground
I found my way back home,
All safe and sound...

I've got a question for you,
Is that what I'm suppose to do
Or am I just doing wrong?
Well, I pictured your face today
Once I thought about your name
And I'll think of you all night long.
I don't feel so good (I don't feel so good)
About the things that you said I should.
I just feel so good about you,
Feel so good about you...
I will never understand how
You caught me in your hand,
But at the end of the day, you do.
You do it without words,
You do it without sound
And you're pulling me in too...
Is it such a crime (Is it such a crime?)
To be the next one to fall in line?
And, keep falling into you,
Keep falling into you.
Well, I'll keep you in mind
The next time that I can find
The courage to pretend.
I just cannot be the one that you see
As only just a friend.
Is it such a crime (Is it such a crime?)
To be the next one to fall in line?
And, keep falling into you,
Keep falling into you.
Yeah! I don't feel so good (I don't feel so good)
About the things that you said I should.
I just feel so good about you,
Feel so good about you... (yeah)

I know it's not what you expect of me
And I wasn't thinking clearly,
To act this out of line I guess
I'm glad you're here to fix this mess.
And it was all okay, thanks to you!
I had you, you had me.
I know it's not what you expect of me
To put on a show that's all for free
Well I drank a bit too much by now
I should have seen it anyhow
And it was all okay, thanks to you!
I had you, you had me.
I know it's not what you expect of me (repeat)
I know it's not what you expect of me
I wasn't thinking clearly
I drank a bit too much it seems
Now I can't seem to fall asleep
It was all okay, thanks to you!
I had you, you had me,
It was all okay, thanks to you!
(La De Da's)
