Thanks to DCO for finding these unreleased songs of Davids. These are the songs that didn't make the 1st album!

Maybe Tonight
Jason Wade, Jude Cole, David Cook

Lyrics:
Maybe tonight we could find the stars in your sky
cuz everybody needs help sometimes
so just close your eyes it'll be all right
everybody gets down on it all
concrete never braces the fall
all we need is someone to call to put world to sleep
are you overwhelmed are you outside yourself
waiting for relief
I take on everything if i could give you one reason to believe
maybe tonight maybe tonight
hand over heart I promise to put in the chart
you're everything i've wanted so far
so walk it all off before we go on
now the sun is fading to red
fifteen years of pictures in my head
I'll hang on every word you never said
in hopes that it would put my mind at ease
are you overwhelmed are you outside yourself
waiting for relief
I take on everything if i could give you one reason to believe
slowly we fade just when we got it made
we're grasping at straws to reach anything at all
are you overwhelmed are you outside yourself
waiting for relief
I take on everything if i could give you one reason to believe
are you overwhelmed are you outside yourself
waiting for relief
I take on everything if i could give you one reason to believe
maybe tonight maybe tonight maybe tonight maybe tonight

Quietly
Daniel Dodd Wilson, David Cook

This moment is scared straight from the start
Holding a losing hand but I can't seem to put down the cards
so tell me I'm wrong to scream you the same old song
You wrote some time ago now what deaf is you hang up the phone
they come to take me away today
I'll go if you want me to go
but I won't go quietly no matter what I do
you go like the beat of my heart
and I'm losing everything
quietly I'm falling apart
you're listening in to voices inside your head
they told you to cut me down find a new life send me away
so call me a fool loving you recklessly
gave up before I knew now I scream out with my face to the world
it seems you made up your mind today
so I'll go if you want me to go
but I won't go quietly no matter what I do
you go like the beat of my heart
and I'm losing everything
quietly I'm falling apart
I'll go if you want me to go
but I won't go quietly no matter what I do
you go like the beat of my heart
and I'm losing everything
I know it's what you want
so I'll go if you want me to go
but I won't go quietly no matter what I try to say
you don't want me to stay and I offer on to me
quietly I'm falling apart
falling apart.

Remembering The Days
Zac Maloy, David Cook

Sun sneaks through curtains closed side
throwing just enough day to open up my eyes
if I try and find the words of what you mean to me
that just wouldn't be fair to all of the memories
if I stay inside my mind I can see you
Remembering the days I had there with you
Remembering the ways you always got me through
Remembering the good and the bad with no fear no regret
Everyday I had with you is a day I can't forget
day I can't forget
You knocked the wind right back into me just a broken soul in need of remedy
if I have a dime to pay I'd finally make the call
if I had the words to say I'd try and say them all
another night inside my mind just to see you
remembering the day I had there with you
remembering the ways you always got me through
remembering the good and the bad with no fear no regret
everyday I had with you is a day I can't forget
Your smile could light up the sky I carry your heart on the back of my eyes
for the last time in my life I felt alive
remembering the days I had there with you
remembering the ways you always got me through
remembering the good and the bad with no fear no regret
everyday I had with you is a day I can't forget
I can't forget day that I can't forget

One Second To Change Your Life
Zac Maloy, David Cook

Lyrics:
A hundred signs choices at every turn
hours stacking up with time to burn
this road will keep on going it only stops for you
it's up to you so make a move
it only takes one second to change your life
everything can turn
when you believe you lie and take turns tonight
one second to change your mind
finally breathe the air you've held inside
one second to change your life
million skies and all of them are fake
behind your eyes you got it made
every guess is young at heart but I've been right where you are
it's the only shape take your own today
it only takes one second to change your life
everything can turn when your believe your lie
and take turns tonight
one second to change your mind
finally breathe the air that you've held inside
one second to change your life
one second to change your life
one second just stand and stare
fingers crossed for the other side
when you cant stop moving with the other flying kind
it only takes one second to change your life
when you believe your lie and take turns tonight
one second to change your mind
finally breathe the air you've held inside
one second's too long
it only takes one second to change your life
it only takes one second to change your life
one second to change your mind
finally breathe the air you've held inside
one second to save your life

~~~

Remind Me
Jason Wade, Jude Cole, David Cook

Honesty may be the worst mistake she said to me today
But anyway it's hard to lie with water in my lungs
the songs already sung I just begun to say
remind me why do we make each other wrong just to make ourselves right
Beat each other down just to make it through another night
Don't mind me I'm only trying to figure out why I ever let you in remind me why
Satellites are watching over us running over stars to find out who we are
and who we both pretend to be we both have to decide
if it's us or you and me
remind me why do we make each other wrong to make ourselves right
beat each other down just to make it through another night
Don't mind me I'm only trying to figure out why I ever let you in remind me why
Remind me why do we make each other wrong just to ourselves right
beat each other down just to make it through another night
don't mind me I'm just trying to figure out why I ever let you in remind me why
honesty may be the worst mistake

~~~

Strange And Beautiful
Raine Maida, David Cook

Show me streets of fascination
show me love always pure
you see life in brilliant color
won't you be my guide?
show me bodies in perfect motion
show me a place where hearts have minds
somedays feel so overrated
somedays are so unkind
what does it take to get through a world that is strange and beautiful
what does it take to find you you're so strange and beautiful
strange and beautiful
show me hope in all it's glory
show me treasures I can't find
somedays are so underrated
somedays so unkind
what does it take to get through a world that is strange and beautiful
what does it take to find you you're so strange and beautiful
try to find me I been lost
comfort fading at what cost
what does it take to get through a world that is strange and beautiful
what does it take to find you you're so strange and beautiful
what does it take to get through a world that is strange and beautiful
what does it take to find you you're so strange and beautiful
strange and beautiful
strange and beautiful

Thanks For Everything (It’s So Sad)
John Randall Fields, Kara Dioguardi, David Cook

You wanna how I've been doing
the answer's breaking through my skin
it's like you've opened up the floodgates
one word and I'm sinking back in
maybe you should save your lies
sorry won't work this time
no thank you I can fall to pieces on my own without you
no thank you you've already done enough to leave me torn in two
thanks to you thanks to you you
you're words are empty like your promises
they hurt then your silence
cuz if I don't have to hear all your lies
I can't get past all the dead in your eyes
but when you're telling me you're willing to change
I'm looking at you staying the same
no thank you I can fall to pieces on my own without you
no thank you you've already done enough to leave me torn in two
thanks to you
cuz I swear we had something
I swear that we had something
don't say our love was nothing
no thank you I can fall to pieces on my own without you
no thank you you've already done enough to leave me torn in two
thanks to you
no thank you no thank you no thank you

~~~

That’s All
Ed Roland, David Cook

I wake up with the sun morning's always good to me
I wrap my arms around nothing and everything
We are historically ordinary today
I don't find what's right I don't wanna know what's wrong
I just wanna love you til the end that's all
I don't waste a night I don't wanna write a song
I just wanna love you til the end love you til the end that's all
Patience wearing thin we have no time to stand and stare
Memories fill the space as we get lost inside the air
We're only slightly euphoric today
I don't wanna find what's right I don't wanna know what's wrong
I just wanna love you till the end that's all
I don't wanna waste a night I don't wanna write a song
I just wanna love you till the end oh the end that's all
I wake up with the sun morning's always good
I don't wanna find what's right I don't wanna know what's wrong
I just wanna love you til the end that's all
I don't wanna waste a night I don't wanna write a song
I just wanna love you til the end that's all
I don't wanna find what's right I don't wanna know what's wrong
I just wanna love you til the end that's all
I don't wanna waste a night I don't wanna write a song
I just wanna love you til the end love til the end that's all

That’s What I Get
Amund Bjorklund, Espen Lind, Zac Maloy, David Cook


Hang up the phone and I walk out the door
I keep walking I don't know how long for
I ended up in a place I know I shouldn't have been
Such a pretty little thing to think you've got it right
Love on the thumb and death on the line
Shoulda turned and walked away before I asked your name
That's what I get for letting you in here
That's what I get for letting your sins here
You're a booze you're a scar you're a Hollywood star
and I just can't seem to forget that's what I get
The pain ain't fake with your foot on the brake
so keep driving until you can't stay awake
you'll end up in a place you know you shouldn't have been
all the smiles and the lies all the kisses and crisis’s to keep me in pocket
just to keep me in line
shoulda turned and walked away when I saw your face
that's what I get for letting you in here
that's what I get for letting your sins here
You're a booze you're a scar you're a Hollywood star
I just can't seem to forget
oh it's a crying shame I can't believe that you deceive
it's a losing game I can't seem to walk away
that's what I get for letting you in here
that's what I get for letting your sins here
You're a booze you're a scar you're a Hollywood star
I just can't seem to forget
that's what I get
that's what I get for letting you in here
that's what I get for loving your sins here
You're a booze you're a scar you're a Hollywood star
I just can't seem to forget
that's what I get.

This Year
David Hodges, Jess Cates, David Cook

Miles apart in the same room
Staring at nothing at all
This empty space is a vacuum filled with yesterdays
Counting cracks in the ceiling down to the paint on the wall
Falling on around our feeling that we like to win for three days
We were lost a long long time ago to reasons we may never know
But now I'm here open eyes open heart open ears for the seasons that you'll never show
so I'll let you know this year this year
you're dancing circles around me second time second place
you knock the wind outta my lungs
you have it fair to claim you own the open air
We were lost a long long time ago to reasons we may never know
But now I'm here open eyes open heart open ears for the seasons that you'll never show
So I'll let you know this year this year
for everything seem to me we're everything but harmony today
I'm screaming for the melody for all our ties and bonds
We were lost a long long time ago to reasons we may never know
We were lost a long long time ago to reasons we may never know
but now I'm here open eyes open heart open ears for the seasons that you'll never show
so I'll let you go this year

We’re Only Honest When We’re Sleeping
David Cook

You're a broken thing
Your cracks are showing through at your best attempts
At making nice with the world
So keep on dreaming
Cuz someday soon the thing that keeps you at bay will fade away
Or so I've heard

CHORUS:
We're only honest when we're sleeping
We're lying wide awake and dreaming
Wishing that we were someone else
This bed is cold as hell when you're lying next to me

It's a twisted game
A brief and off-repeating prose that never
Seems to resonate
Still to think of our blame
It's always on the heart that kept on beating
While the other pulled the blame

CHORUS

The ceiling paints a picture
And everything's a welcome work of art
Convince the chaos in the mirror
The lasting lipstick red

CHORUS

CHORUS

After listening to the snippets with an objective ear, I felt that the one he has been singing at the concerts (We're Only Honest When We're Sleeping) and maybe one other one was really good enough to make it to a CD. Not that the lyics aren't good. It was just the way the music flowed in the songs. Some I found quite awkward. Now, of course I'm making that observation based upon listening to only a part of each song. But, based upon that though, that is the conclusion I came to.

I can see what you're saying, and I agree that a few of the songs wouldn't be as good as others on a CD, but I have to disagree with you about there only being two possibly decent songs out of the bunch, I think that the majority of them are good enough to make a CD and a few of them would make great singles, IMHO.

On another note, these lyrics are not entirely correct, I was listening to the songs while I read them and I noticed that there are a lot of errors...just saying smile.gif

Hey all. I have a couple of questions, if anybody might have answers...

Honest... David said this was from his 2007 unreleased record. So does that mean that it was considered for DCTR (like ADAM) but rejected?

Also, I wasn't around the day the "snippets" were released at Cherry Lane. Since they've been taken down, are they available anywhere else?

Thanks guys!
