I'd Give Anything

When I was younger
And didn’t know what life was
I said my only purpose
was to be your love
I said it like a bad thing
Cuz I wanted more
Now I’d give anything to be that poor
When you would hold me
Never felt alone
I wanted to be higher
Little did I know
The view from up here now
Gives me vertigo
And I’d give anything to be that low
Time just keeps on rolling by like thunder
If you can slow it down well that’s a clever trick
I’m just trying to Break the spell I’m under
Hoping maybe this time it’ll stick
Started a fire
and i let it burn
Always trying to get somewhere
Waiting for my turn
Just wanted to get through it
now it’s turned to ash
And I’d give anything to get that back
Time just keeps on rolling by like thunder
If lightning strikes you better catch it quick
I’m just trying to Break the spell we’re under
Hoping maybe this time it’ll stick
Time just keeps on rolling by like thunder
If you can slow it down well that’s a clever trick
I’m just trying to Break the spell I’m under
Hoping maybe this time it’ll stick
When I was younger
And didn’t know what life was
I said my only purpose
was to be your love
I said it like a bad thing
Cuz I wanted more
Now I’d give anything to be that poor

My Quiet
03:25
|
|

ou’re my quiet in a crowded room
The storm that’s rolling off my shoes
A minor chord in a hopeful tune
The dust that settles, the sweet perfume
I’m just trying
I’m just trying
to get back to you
You’re my flower on the interstate
An easy shot that ricocheted
I’ll walk away but I’ll walk slow
If I’m honest, I’ve nowhere to go
I’m just trying
I’m just trying
to get back to you
You’re the eye of the hurricane
A blindfold shot with perfect aim
The golden hour before the dark
An open heart that left a scar
We tried to celebrate
The skies that we looked to didn’t have what it takes
We made wishes anyway
So our hearts that were breaking could beat another day
You’re my quiet in a crowded room
A minor chord in a hopeful tune
I’m just trying
I’m just trying
I’m just trying
To get back to you

Flicker

Let me tell you a simple story
of when I walked in darkness
And I wandered through my mind
Searching for my sins
When I told him what I’d found there
He began to cry
I asked the preacher many questions
But never asked him why
And then I saw a flicker
That turned into a flame
I felt it’s warmth
And knew its power
And it would not be tamed
I finally found a reason
For my stories and my name
And I entered into a season
With one who felt the same
As I laid down in my youth
Demons came to call
Mother told me banish them
And angels caught my fall
My friends would send me to the gallows
And look on at my shame
But he would gladly clear my name
And for me he would hang
And then I saw a flicker
That turned into a flame
I felt it’s warmth
And knew its power
And it would not be tamed
I finally found a reason
For my stories and my name
And I entered into a season
With one who felt the same
When you speak those words to me
It sounds like the thunder
Of a million whispering leaves
And I won’t go back
Oh no
And then I saw a flicker
That turned into a flame
I felt it’s warmth
And knew its power
And it would not be tamed
I finally found a reason
For my stories and my name
And I entered into a season
With one who felt the same
Let me tell you a simple story
Of how I found the light

Meet You In Our Dreams
03:11
|
|

I never know when I’m dreaming
I’m always sure that I’m awake
I’m running in slow motion
Through a river of mistakes
I’m Reaching blindly
Feels like I’m holding on to something
No hands as steady as it seems
I can’t be with you when the lights go out
But tell me where to meet you in our dreams
And I’ll fall
Near the edge it goes silent
But I can feel you there
It’s all anticipation
Stars dripping from your hair
Reaching blindly
Feels like I’m holding on to something
No hands as steady as it seems
I can’t be with you when the lights go out
But tell me where to meet you in our dreams
And I’ll fall fall fall asleep with you
I’ll fall fall fall asleep with you
And I’ll fall fall fall in love with you

Sunset
04:12

Persephone went down to her lover
The night we met
You were a sudden change in weather
A shimmering silhouette??
I took off my dress and stood in your door
I told to you my sad stories and you told me yours
Gave me months worth of kisses in just a few days
I couldn’t leave and you wanted me to stay
I want to see you like a sunset
A wonderful moment
So beautiful
Then its gone and I don’t blame myself
If you have to be a memory
You might as well
Be a good one that I don’t regret
I watched it burning behind your eyes
A hundred year storm Before a hundred year plight
You’re a good week didn’t get much sleep
First from heartache and then from heartbeats
We walked in the snow, you felt like Orpheus
You couldn’t bring her back, now you can’t trust
I feel sad when the sun gets low
I keep looking back and I’ve turned to stone
I want to see you like a sunset
A wonderful moment
So beautiful
Then its gone and I don’t blame myself
If you have to be a memory
You might as well
Be a good one that I don’t regret
Knowing there’s a sunrise
On the other side
Of the moments you never will forget

20 Miles to Empty
03:24

20 Miles to empty and I got 50 miles to go
Afraid I’m going nowhere down this one way road
My wheels keep on spinning
Cause my soul keeps on singing these words
Even when it hurts
The static on the radio’s a harsh and lonely sound
I’ve come too far to give it up and turn back now
I was born to gamble, to question, and to ramble
I don't have much but I got soul
I don't have much but I got soul
Even when it feels like my whole train is off the tracks
I know my hearts been stolen and I might not get it back
I’ll always have a song to sing and stubborn will to get me through the night
Get me through the night
La da da da
The sunset through the windshield it almost makes me blind
Reminds me of this feeling that I’m running out of time
With the world all aglitter, even when its tastin bitter
I know, I got more to show
They took every thing I had but they can’t take this from me
The best things in a lifetime don’t take cash but they’re not free
I can hear it coming, I’m fightin, I'm not running
I don't have much but I got soul
I don't have much but I got soul
Even when it feels like my whole train is off the tracks
I know my hearts been stolen and I might not get it back
I’ll always have a song to sing and stubborn will to get me through the night
Get me through the night
La da da da
20 Miles to empty and I got 50 miles to go
But I know somehow that I’m gonna make it home

That Wine Stain
04:57
|
|
||
|
It still feels like the day that the glass broke
And I’m bleeding all over the floor
I hear someone knocking but I can’t answer the door
You can’t feel what you don’t remember
You lost everything when you hid
Your body fell and I caught you
your heart never did
You said nothing good ever came from the bottle
You drank to forget and that was the problem
You don’t remember saying you loved me
But I do
You don’t remember me holding your hand (hand)
But I do
You moved on and I haven’t been able
You’re the ring on the table
That wine stain
That Fable
Don’t know how long I can last
My mind keeps playing it’s scratched
A stain isn’t sweet like the wine
It doesn’t get better with time
a broken record of Questions that I never asked
You told me the tale of my future with out you
I thought you were afraid
But you were just telling me plans you’d already made
broken machines were singing a death song
When I woke beside you that night
Then I saw that your panicked deep ocean eyes were alive
You said nothing good ever came from the bottle
You drank to forget and that was the problem
You don’t remember me talking you down
But I do
You don’t remember my arms around you
But I do
You moved on and I haven’t been able
You’re the ring on the table
That wine stain
That Fable
Don’t know how long I can last
My mind keeps playing it’s scratched
A stain isn’t sweet like the wine
It doesn’t get better with time
a broken record of Questions I never asked
You know what they say about time?
It’s a lie
