Same Problems

“Same Problems”

By: Steve Everett & Matt Stell

Verse 1

Overslept my lake checkout

Tally up the body count

I’m trying not to be too loud

Cause the maid’s been knocking for a while now

Pre-Chorus

I guess I should know what trouble looks like by now

But here I am again somehow

Chorus

Back to the same old problems

I thought I solved ‘em

Fell so far I broke through the bottom

Wound up back at square one

Losing a battle that I thought I had won

Same problems all know my name

They keep calling everyday

I keep trying to push them away

But I’m just resolving the same problems

Verse 2

Tracking down my credit card

Found it at that second bar

Went a couple drinks too far

I’m feelin’ maxed out, hungover, and over-charged

Bridge

Professional children this is our song

La da da La da da

It might seem fun but it won’t last long

Heartbreak Arms Race

“Heartbreak Arms Race”

By: Steve Everett & Ariel Lask

Verse 1

Been alone a long time pick the wrong kind

‘Til I find myself in the middle

Of a heartbreak arms race

Makin’ the same mistakes

Holding back just a little

Pre-Chorus

Cause I’m always planning my escape

Keep my heart half-hidden just in case

Chorus

She laughs a little too hard at all my jokes

Keeps the heat too high or the radio too low

Likes me best on my worst behavior

Not in the market for a late night savior

Right around the time that I should leap

I leave

Verse 2

Out of reasons changed like the seasons

Tryin’ to turn the page

To a happier ending instead of sending

Brushes with love away

Bridge

I don’t wanna

I don’t wanna

I don’t wanna have a one that got away

I don’t wanna

I don’t wanna

I don’t wanna wish I stayed

Pick Your Head Up

“Pick Your Head Up”

By: Steve Everett & Britney Monroe

Verse 1

Jenny isn’t pretty or so she thinks

So she goes to parties by herself & sits alone and drinks

And dreams about bein’ pretty and all it’d bring

Like getting into sold out shows and having cute boys buy her things

Pre-Chorus

She’s feelin’ low and she’s ready to leave to leave

While there’s a boy who’s just dyin’ to meet her meet her thinkin’

Chorus

Pick your head up

Look around

You might be standing on your crown

Stuck inside of your own mind

And burnin’ your own castle down

Cinderella don’t get in your carriage yet

Cause I think I found your slipper and your prince

Verse 2

Jeffrey isn’t smooth or so he thinks

As he makes his way across the room carrying two drinks

Jenny see’s him coming and she moves out of the way

Seems surprised when they lock eyes

And he stops in front of her to say

Pre-Chorus

He wants to dance but he needs her to lead him lead him

Soon as he saw her he was dyin’ to meet her to meet her thinkin’

Bridge

It goes to show that you never know you never know

Beauty is all in the beholder beholder thinkin’

Bad At It

“Bad At It”

By: Steve Everett, Charlie Berry

& Zarni DeWet

Verse 1

Losin’ myself to some Whitney Houston

Loosen my tie cause I sweat right through it

Half of my drink’s on the ground from shoutin’

A little bit louder now

Gimme the scoop are you someone’s plus 1

Watchin’ you move’s got me feelin’ something

Tell me the truth are you into gettin’ a little bit closer now

Chorus

Don’t have moves

Steppin’ on your shoes

But girl you ain’t mad at it

Even though I’m bad at it

Into you tryin’ to play it cool

But girl you ain’t mad at it

Even though I’m bad at it

Bad at it

Verse 2

Circle it up let’s get in the middle

Maybe I should dial it back a little

But watchin’ you dance in your high heels

I’m signed, sealed, delivered

Bridge

Can’t help myself

Can’t fake it

Feels like a chance worth takin’

Don’t wanna say too much too soon
