This is the sole track that was written pre-2006. Maybe 2005-ish?
This version is played lower than it's performed now, however, some folks are quite partial to this version..like me.
Special Thanks to Gabe & Dave

lyrics
CHOOSING SIDES:
If you, ever felt like you were chained up,
and meant to be something you're not
Well I'm sorry I forgot
You never gave up.
One night, long ago you had escaped my
mind and taken my heart.
Well I'm sorry I forgot
It was busted apart.
Do you feel like someone is pulling your leg?
Or pushing you close to the edge?
Sometimes, I can get just a bit skeptical about life.
Someday, I may pull up to a stop light,
and just keep on driving away.
Well I'm sorry I forgot
There are rules to obey.
Do you feel like someone is pulling your leg?
Or pushing you close to the edge?
Sometimes, I can get just a bit skeptical about life.
This I know, This I know, I know.
It's not a question of who's wrong, or who's right,
Oh no, did I forget to mention
that I can be just a bit skeptical
When it comes to choosing sides.
Well I'm sorry I forgot, who's side are you on?
Too much, pushing and pulling has left my
decisions all cluttered and frayed.
Well I'm sorry I forgot,
Was it always this way?
