Sleepless Night
03:09
|
|||
|
Another sleepless night, another silly song I probably won’t play
I’ve given up the fight, I know that something’s wrong I’m not ok
I’m not afraid to say I miss you
I’m not afraid to be in love
I am afraid of many things I’m not ready to speak of
Another restless day my dreams are wide awake but barely breathing
The limitless decay makes it harder to fake what I’m seeking
And I’m not afraid to say I miss you
I’m not afraid to be in love
I am afraid of many things I’m not ready to speak of

Is It Enough
04:00
|
|||
|
It's good to know you’re still alive
I’ve been waiting here since quarter past five.
It’s two in the morning.
Where the hell have you been hiding out
I’d thought we’d come to some accord.
You would tell me when you start feeling bored
How am I to know, I still haven’t learned to read minds
Is it enough
That I hold you up above all the stars
Is it ever enough
Or should I try to hang for dear life
Could you kindly let me know
I’ve tried to leave so many times
I’m addicted to your rhythm and rhymes
Oh, you enchant me, even as you walk away
It’s safe to say you hold the cards
You make me feel like I’ve been feather and tarred
Humiliating, I keep coming back for some more
Is it enough
That I hold you up above all the stars
Is it ever enough
Should I try to hang for dear life
Could you kindly let me know

Longer Day
03:09
|
|||
|
Searching high and low
For time to slow
To feel my life unfold
In a field and stream
A lively dream
And you right there by me
It’s a longer day
To shine on
It’s a longer day
To shine on, to shine on
And as the world it spins
And nature wins
And wrinkles cover life
If I can clear my brain
Of noise and shame
I’d be inclined to say
It’s a longer day
To shine on
It’s a longer day
To shine on
Oh the time I’ve never held
Here and there but hardly felt
In another world I see
Time comes back to me
It’s a longer day
To shine on
It’s a longer day
To shine on

Turnstile
04:05
|
|||
|
We slip past the turnstile
To sneak onto the outgoing train
Let's hide in the back row
Just to keep our heads out of the rain
With no way of knowing
Where we’re going or where we began
It really won't matter
Just as long as we don't have a plan
As we reach the last stop
We wave goodbye to the conductor man
Before he can catch us
We run away just as fast as we can
With no way of guessing
Which direction we come or we go
It really won't matter
Just as long as we try, long as we try to move slow
When we go towards the sea
She patiently waits for you and me
Breathe in the nighttime
That the ocean so graciously shares
We follow our footsteps
That slowly lead us back under the stairs
One foot then the other
Brings us higher than we've ever known
Lines on the horizon
Are welcoming us, welcoming us to move on
When we go towards the sea
She patiently waits for you and me
Suddenly someone appears at the window
They’re knocking as loud as they can
A voice at the top of the cellar stairs calling down
Boy, you really should let them in
When we go towards the sea
She patiently waits for you and me

Looking for Stars
02:57
|
|||
|
You had me walking around in the dark
gazing your eyes, looking for stars
you left me waiting for something to begin
I can't get out now cause you never let me in
the candles burned out long before
you never told me what you had in store
you're doing well now, or so I am told
I can't let go now cause you never grabbed ahold
when I wake up I hope I have the time to tell someone
or write it all down before it fades away
years went by and then it was gone before I rubbed my eyes
never again the same just like the sunset skies

Addison Road
04:14
|
|||
|
We’ll have to find another way
As we watch the waters rise
I'll meet you down on Addison Rd
There's a river running right across
Where our front yard used to be
I know I'm just not ready to go
Well my momma always told me not to run
You must stand up straight until the work is done
Even if the job is bigger than you are
You'll go far
We’ll have to roll our pant legs up
And put on summer feet
I imagine we will be here awhile
I refuse to turn my back
On the needy and the weak
I remember how it feels to be there
Well my momma always told me not to run
You must stand up straight until the work is done
Even if the job is bigger than you are
You'll go far
I’m a simple man
In the blink of an eye everything we have known
Can be taken away, cast aside like a stone
Before I let a single thing define who I am
I'm a simple man

Pile
04:09
|
|||
|
I'm going to make a pile of things that I don't need anymore
like trying to make you smile and pacing up and down the floor
and making myself hurt, and thinking about you and making it worse
yes I'm going to make a list of things that I could do without
like trying to resist the feelings that I thought I'd sorted out
and checking on my phone for calls I know won't come, I'm left alone
I'm going to fill a can with broken hearts and broken memories
from the moment this began I've been counting all the casualties
the planet will still turn, the fire it consumes yes it will burn

Country Soul
03:40
|
|||
|
I Rise in the morning
Say a prayer and I face the healing sun
I know I lost my way not long ago
Got to get it back before the day is done
Hold on, Hold on to my country soul
I Step from the doorway
Look around and see my Only Son
I hope he learns not just to fear the wild
But to find the ancient roots that grow inside
Hold on, Hold on to our country soul
Sun burning red hot in the morning
Any sailor knows to take warning
I sing in the evening
To a weary world no longer young
I know we may not slow it down at all
But I’d rather fight for that than hold the gun
Hold on, Hold on to my country soul

All I Can Make Last
03:54
|
|||
|
Come again my ears are dead
They’re ringing from the show tonight
I’m interested but this aching head is the boss
Tomorrow is another day at least that’s what you would say
I don’t disagree I just have less faith
Now sing oooooooh
Sing ooooooooh
Morning comes it always does
whether I’m there or not
Then afternoon and evening soon are past
What have I done what have I done
And what has my life become
Now dreams are all I can make last
Now sing oooooooh
Sing ooooooooh
Morning comes it always does
whether I’m there or not
Then afternoon and evening soon are past
What have I done what have I done
And what has my life become
Now dreams are all I can make last
Now sing oooooooh
Sing ooooooooh

Surf the Tide
04:27
|
|||
|
A dark beach sets the stage tonight
You parachute into my life
My heart turbulent inside
Bonfire smoke on the horizon
Your hand feels so small in mine
I'm holding it for the first time
Now you recede and I comply
The fire’s lower now
I surf the tide of your heart
Surf the tide of your heart
Surf the tide of your heart
And I will be prepared to hold on tight
Sand slips in between my toes
Your friends come and your friends go
But I'm here
I'll never leave you behind
I surf the tide of your heart
Surf the tide of your heart
Surf the tide of your heart
And I will be prepared to hold on tight
To everything we’ve come to know
You and I, we’ve come so close
Stay where you are, and open your heart
Don’t walk away, don’t walk away
A bonfire…
A bonfire…
A bonfire
I surf the tide of your heart
Surf the tide of your heart
Surf the tide of your heart
And I will be prepared to hold on tight

Whale Song
04:15
|

|
Staying awake a thousand years
Sailing along a sea of tears
It was a long time ago
We had our high, we had our low
I guess we wait to cross the line
Hold on to the rail to keep from falling down
I know this place not too far from town
Where we can wade amongst the lies
Looking to find the bind that ties
There’s no excuse, we shouldn’t be alone
Out of the limelight, onto the front lines
I’m going to wait for you
Make no mistake, I’m going to start a fire
I’ll follow the flames that lead me to the choir
If I don’t return before the morn
Don’t be dismayed, don’t feel too torn
I promise you, I’ll keep the fire warm
Out of the limelight, onto the front lines
I’m gonna wait for you
Onto your backside, watching the days slide
I’m gonna wait for you
This life, this life, this life is just a balancing act
Between the old and new
My heart, my heart, my heart becomes a battering ram
To break inside of you
Out of the limelight, onto the front lines
I’m gonna wait for you
Onto your backside, watching the days slide
I’m gonna wait for you
