Days

I was traveling on a lonesome, lonesome highway
A cold November morn'
Saw your name written in the clouds
Through the early morning fog
Oh, there are days like this
Nothing can calm my soul
Oh, there are days like this
My mind I just can't control
Wheels they just keep on rolling
Rolling farther from home
I miss those early mornings spent with you
And the birds chirping on our lawn
Oh, there are days like this
Nothing can calm my soul
Oh, there are days like this
My mind I just can't control
Because every day I wake up
Living a dream with you
But I'm not sure, that I deserve
My every dream coming true

For You
04:35
|
|

I'm an open book, if they wanna know more
But they should know I'm not who I was before
I've been played a fool, for the last time
I burned that bridge, drew that line
And for you, I'll strike the match
Forget about the years past
I've been finding these days
The world's a dark place
So let's hide away
In our pretty dream
And now, some will say
We're headed for despair
But I've been finding these days
I really don't care
Now there are times, think of starting again
A new town, with new friends
Maybe let the wind, carry us away
Wherever we land, there we'll stay
And for you, I'd leave
Never look back, you're all I need
I've been finding these days
The world's a dark place
So let's hide away
In our pretty dream
And now, some will say
We're headed for despair
But I've been finding these days
I really don't care
Learn to love this normal life
But never let our dreams die
Enjoy the moment, however small
I've heard they matter most of all
I've been finding these days
The world's a dark place
So let's hide away
In our pretty dream
And now, some will say
We're headed for despair
But I've been finding these days
I really don't care

Fools Gold

I've been staring out this window for weeks, months, years
Lost all track of time, where did it go
I think I need a change, my perspective's gone astray
This wandering mind's about to explode
It's hard to keep on moving when we're busy doing nothing
Tell your fables, above and below
Left and right, black and white, it's in our faces every night
The same story is getting old
Maybe we should
Just slow down
Or maybe I should rethink everything I've learned
Your ancient artifacts, they're fools gold
Then again I know that there is truth in every lie
Tread softly, so we're told
Maybe we should
Just slow down

Begin Again

You're the California Redwood
The ridge of blue in Tennessee
Your heart is timeless
Your soul, everlasting
I'm more like a tornado
Chaos in motion
I threw all my peace away
Watched it blow over the ocean
But today, I am hopeful
Turning a brand new, blank page
No more thoughts, dark and broken
For the last time, I'll begin again
So many reasons to hold on
Yet I'm slipping still
Help me find my way home
Out of these cold, barren fields
Because today, I am hopeful
Turning a brand new, blank page
No more thoughts, dark and broken
For the last time, I'll begin again
If you ever get lonely enough
To come back around
I promise
I'll hold on a little tighter
Because today, I am hopeful
Turning a brand new, blank page
No more thoughts, dark and broken
For the last time, I'll begin again

Be Here Now
04:56
|
|

Don't have much of anything, running on our hopes and dreams
But if that mockingbird don't sing, I'll buy you any goddamn thing
The sky's a shade of milky gray, all I want is a place to lay
Spending all my nights alone, laying beside you, i'm still gone
And I need you...
Be here now
I need you
Be here now
All my heartfelt hopes and fears, come off as insincere
It's a fatal flaw I know, but it's one that I can't outgrow
I'm a morning heartbreak afternoon, a tidal wave of red and blue
And goddamn this weight upon my chest, damn these thoughts, they won't let me rest
And i need you...
Be here now
I need you
Be here now
I'm sorry for the way I am, I hope you understand
Because I need you
Be here now
I need you
Be here now

Melody

Well those eyes could move a mountain
That heart could calm the sea
I skim through all those pages
Reading her endlessly
Life's a song, and she's my melody
Well tomorrow, it'll come in it's time
Focus on the moment
And all of these
Intricate lines
Life's a song, and she's my melody
A weekend dream on a Thursday afternoon
Cool water when it's warm
I don't know how I got to you
But baby, you keep me in tune
Life's a song, and she's my melody

Long Drive Home
03:58
|
|

On a long drive home, I held your hand
Sweet nothings whispered, I couldn't understand
The words didn't matter, the voice so sweet
Head in the clouds, heart so weak
The streetlights buzzed an unknown tune
A love song for no one, no one but you
They sang of better days we thought were to come
Got lost in their rhythm, lost in their hum
And I once held that night like a drowning man
And I once held that night like a drowning man
They say nothing lasts forever, but time can't erase
If you hold on to the memory, there's always a trace
And I once held that night like a drowning man
And I once held that night like a drowning man
They say nothing lasts forever, but time can't erase
If you hold on to the memory, there's always a trace
On a long drive home, I held your hand...

Desire

It's been three days since I left home
Don't know where I went wrong
But, I hope the dream will carry me anyway
The clouds and trees, they keep repeating
Running low on gasoline
But, I hope the dream will carry me anyway
Her name was Desire
Thought she was what I needed, just what I needed
Her name was Desire
But she wasn't what I needed, wasn't what I needed
I finally made it to the land of angels
Just to learn that I can't fly
But, I hope the dream will carry me anyway
It's good to know I've wasted half of my life
Chasing down a goddamn lie
But, I hope the dream will carry me anyway
Her name was Desire
Thought she was what I needed, just what I needed
Her name was Desire
But she wasn't what I needed, wasn't what I needed
I guess I'll tuck my tail between my legs
Make my way back home
No, the dream didn't carry me anyway
Her name was Desire
Thought she was what I needed, just what I needed
Her name was Desire
But she wasn't what I needed, wasn't what I needed

Light

I never know the words to convey what's on my mind
It never quite seems to add up
Inclination here, inference there
The overtones are underwhelming
These four walls, they might consume me
I named them Fear, Regret, Woe, and Pain
Ignore the burning bush in my bountiful field
Close my eyes, it'll go away
Because there's hope in the darkest days
And i know my light will be there too
Because there's hope in the darkest days
And i know that you'll be there too
A wounded predator, cold bath water
Snowfall in spring
Dissonance in the morning song
Harmless, yet unnerving
It's not right to climb this far
And watch the ground fall out below me
Beaten down by their ignorance
But I know that you'll catch me
Because there's hope in the darkest days
And i know my light will be there too
Because there's hope in the darkest days
And i know that you'll be there too

Stars

Let's go for a walk on the water, go for a ride
Get behind the wheel and, put it in drive
The world won't miss us
We don't need 'em anyway
So why don't we go to where the stars fall into the sea
Catch a reflection of the sunrise when we awake
Enjoy the silence of the moonlight, this is my place
In the deep bright pool of your eyes
A thousand galaxies burn
So why don't we go to where the stars fall into the sea
Mistake the sea for the sky, and the clouds for mountaintops
Mistake the sea for the sky, and the clouds for mountaintops
One more trip around the sun is all we really want
So why don't we go
Why don't we go
Why don't we go to where the stars fall into the sea

I know where to find you
Your peace and solitude
It's a cold December morning
A sky of April blue
Green leaves or white snow, you don't seem to care
Wool socks or tanktops, you don't seem to care
There are places I will never go
Some far off lands I won't ever see
The other side may be just as green
But this place is home to me
Let me rest my head here
In the warmth of your heart
Breathing slow and deep now
Waiting for the day to start
Sending away worries, float on down the stream
This life we've got here, the sweetest reverie
There are places I will never go
Some far off lands I won't ever see
The other side may be just as green
But this place is home to me
I know where to find you, your peaceful northern light
Sing me your sweet song, that southern lullaby
There are places I will never go
Some far off lands I won't ever see
The other side may be just as green
But this place is home to me
