Somewhere Between
03:55
|
|||
|
I was born in a midwestern town while the stars were hanging down / A baby boy, seven pounds and twelve ounces / And, hell, you'd better believe I was a lively kid / So. here I stand
But being a man can get so damn challenging / I'm learning to stand, but it feel like I'm learning to fall sometimes / But in the end I find..
If you reach for what you hope for, what you dream of / You can be anything that you want / If you're not there, then you're okay / That's what time was invented for
But being a man can get so damn challenging / I'm learning to stand, but it feel like I'm learning to fall sometimes / But in the end I find..
That heartache and pain is just a way to find who you are / And running away won't solve everything / The more that I learn, the more that I find it's true / That in this life you've got to give / So, what I pray for you is love, life, and history to tell / There's a world of which you've only dreamed / And with eyes wide we welcome in the future as we grow into who we'll come to be / You've got to believe in better things

Wake to Find
04:25
|
|||
|
A war against the world / She'd turn and spin on her axis / Should the man in me retreat to the back of my head, would the love we felt remain
Will I wake to find the ending that I dreamed of / Will I wake to find you here
Should the life I lead return to the cracks of the pavement / Should the fear in me subside / Would the world return to place in which we came from / Would the love we need drive
Will I wake to find the ending that I dreamed of / Will I wake to find you here
She'll toss and turn in her sleep / The world's at her feet / But that just won't bring her back tonight / Tonight go wherever you want to / Take care of yourself / But that just won't bring her back tonight

Listen
03:17
|
|||
|
Baby, listen / It's been the longest time since I've seen you smile / I've been thinking / Maybe we could run away and travel for a while
And all our friends would gather around and stare / Now we've got to run before we die alone with anything we can
If tonight was your last night to ever be alive / Would you waste it on your troubles or dance just one more time / They talk themselves in circles / Not making sense at all / But me, I'm gonna stand on the tables / I won't wait, tumble and fall / No, I've had enough
Then in came the summer / Even sun soaked skin couldn't hide what I saw inside her / No, it was beautiful / But you were so scared of the mess you'd make / In fear of how easily a heart can break in love / But I was in love / But I just didn't know back then
And all our friends would gather around and stare
If tonight was your last night to ever be alive / Would you waste it on your troubles or dance just one more time / They talk themselves in circles / Not making sense at all / But me, I'm gonna stand on the tables / I won't wait, tumble and fall / No, I've had enough
If tonight was your last night to ever be alive / Would you waste it on your troubles or dance just one more time / They talk themselves in circles / Not making sense at all / But me, I'm gonna stand on the tables / I won't wait, tumble and fall / No, I've had enough

Turbulence
04:35
|
|||
|
You know, I've got to be honest / We've been feeling some turbulence / And now that you've got the upper hand, I'm feeling like half a man / Contain and control these affairs / I know that I love you / But I'll question..
Would we fall into our roles of elemental things / We're made to feel what we can't afford / It's a love story now…
I'm waking up / I think of you now in my daydreams / Tell me, were we in love or was I only confused with our talking and the world we laid our feet
So tonight we'll dance like there's nothing left to say / The weight of this crooked world kept our words at bay / Sing to me "would there ever be a day that you're here with me"
Girl, when you left I was crippled by the weight of the world / Awoken by the sound as your words hit the back of my head / Falling asleep / Would the world that you see calm you down / Out on the reef / Do you believe in this
She says take it slow / Take it all in moderation / Don't get caught up in these worldly things you see / Take your time / Let's not rush this situation / And if you've got something to say, then say it now

Daylight
04:48
|
|||
|
Daylight, sing your song over me / And stay tonight so I can stay safe inside / Once in a while you save me from sleep / Stay for a while so I can stay awake
I'll send you an airplane and fly you out over the seven seas / Let my love be an ocean and you can fall into me / I've been dying to find you / In silence, in sound / In all the the words you say / Heavy head, come guide my feet / We're going down / It's all the same
But here we go again with the back and fourth / You've got to find yourself / It's taken all this time, but I just can't let it go / Tonight I'm gonna burn it down / I'm gonna get it right / It's taken all this time, but I just can't seem to hold on
Hold on / You know, you've really got to slow down
You had me crossing my fingers / And I was growing my hair / You live your life by the speaker, but I'll be there when you answer
Your state of urgency / You couldn't let me breath, baby / Say all you need to say / Your state of urgency / You couldn't let me breath, baby / Say all you need
Baby boy / The storms in your head could alter the world, but break at the beach
And where are you now that the world has run out / Will the things that you see become the life that you lead / And where will you go when you learn that she knows of your lies and deceit / Of your wars between teeth / She's not coming home

For Mia, My Love
05:32
|
|||
|
I never did know just what love could be / Actors in movie scenes with beautiful girls / Nothing for me to know for myself / Out of my mind and out of my head / Lost inside a world full of lights / You seem to wash over me when I couldn't see
You were saying something that I could feel for myself / So, I'd echo your words and write them all down
We were lost in the sound of a white whirl in life's endless merry-go-round / In summer time, the feeling of falling in love / Of letting go / A soundtrack / I'd write my songs to tempos of your heartbeat / You'd laugh and make me feel like a child / And tell me, when will it end / And I hope that it won't
You were saying something that I could feel for myself / So, I'd echo your words and write them all down
Mia, I know that it's hard to feel like you're alright / But, baby, I swear I'll be keeping you safe

Say (In Transition)
04:23
|
|||
|
And you say / When you came I would escape here into your capturing arms / We're safe here at the top of the world / Escape here in everything that you are
Will say / You sang a softer song / A steady beat
Stay awake tonight / Tomorrow we wake inside of a world that is void of syntax and measurable time / Safety / Sheltered in the branches of an evergreen tree / And should I reach out to grab you, you'd fall in my arms
And you'd sing a softer song / A steady beat / Stay awake
We may be standing on the edge of something beautiful / But you will never know / These conversations sung on telephones / Is it so typical to feel alone sometimes / And while I'm gone, you know I'm missing home / But if I stay in one place for too long I just get too comfortable / And I can't get out / And all my writing just goes to hell
