    Amongst the Waves, All Those Yesterdays. Inside Job is another. I think they all relate to internal struggles of somekind, but the vibe of each of the songs are very different and could apply to various issues. Whatever inspiration you are seeking, I know you can find it in PJ, and it will help when you find the right lyric!
    It's amazing what you hear when you take time to listen.

    And I fight back in my mind. I got Id
    It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.

    "Thumbing My Way" - I agree with 23scidoo

    i have not been home since you left long ago
    i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
    counting steps, walking backwards on the road
    i'm counting my way back to heaven
    i can't be free with what's locked inside of me
    if there was a key, you took it in your hand
    there's no wrong or right, but i'm sure there's good and bad
    the questions linger overhead
    no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
    i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
    i wish that i could hold you
    i wish that i had
    thinking 'bout heaven
    i let go of a rope, thinking that's what held me back
    and in time i've realized, it's now wrapped around my neck
    i can't see what's next, from this lonely overpass
    hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past
    all the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives
    choosing the shiny ones instead
    i turned my back, now there's no turning back
    no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
    i smile, but who am i kidding?
    i'm just walking the miles, every once in a while i'll get a ride
    i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
    thumbing my way back to heaven
    i'm thumbing my way back to heaven...
