Remember When
03:41
|
|||
|
I'm reaching back on all the pain I left behind
I'm leaning in to all the mysteries of time
Does it get a little clearer now and then
Will there be a time when we remember when
It can't be wrong
Why does it take so long
Did you ever see this coming round the bend
The tales of many wonders, whispers of the wind
Is it any easier to just give in
Will there be a time when we remember when
It goes so fast
There's no looking back
I'm coming home to you
Trying to find the shelter from the storm
Maybe this is crazy but I don't know what to do
All I know
All I know
Is I'm coming home to you
I know I love you and that's good enough for me
I'm tired of wandering and the constant wait and see
Does it get a little clearer now and then
Will there be a time when we remember when
The clearing skies
Are hidden in your eyes
I'm coming home to you
Trying to find the shelter from the storm
Maybe this is crazy, but I don't know what to do
All I know
All I know
Is I'm coming home

Usain Bolt

If I was a ladybug I'd fly around in June
If I was a werewolf I'd hide from the moon
If I was a singer I'd be humming this tune
And if I was your baby I'd be seeing you soon
If I was an astronaut I'd float around in space
If I played baseball I'd steal every base
If I was Usain Bolt I'd win every race
And if I was your honey I'd be kissing your face
If I was a wristwatch I'd never be late
If I was a fisherman I'd bring extra bait
If I was a fortune teller I'd tell you our fate
And if I was yours darling our life would be great
Yes if I was yours darling our life would be great
If all of this was true my love, I'll lay the rest out here
We'd argue over dishes, go camping twice a year
You'd make coffee in the morning, it's just nice to have you near
I'll love you till the end of time, of this have no fear
I'll love you till the stars don't shine, to me this is clear
I'll love you and we'll be just fine, now pass me another beer

See Me
04:05

I see you standing there
We could be anywhere
But we're standing in my living room
And what I want to be
To find a better me
The roads all lead me back to you
Can you show a sign to lead me
To what is on my mind
Will there be a light to lead me
To love I thought I'd never find
Did you know just what was on my mind
Can you see me now
Put me together
Pick up the pieces
I wanna show you all of me
Will you come around here
You know I never been there
With you I think I might be free
I'm leaning in and I
Don't wanna wonder why
Just jump and then be on your way
Cause all the lonely hearts
Will run in fits and starts
Can you see me
Did you ever see me
Will there be a sign to point me
To all that's sitting on my mind
Will there be a light to lead me
To love I thought I'd never find
And can you see me now
Can you see me now
Put me together
Pick up the pieces
I wanna show you all of me
Will you come around here
You know I never been there
With you I think I might be free

One More Time
03:13
|
|||
|
Out of sync and out of breath
Out of words that were left unsaid before
Before I saw your eyes
Out of money, out of time
I'm looking for some peace of mind, and I
Just want to see your eyes
Tie your shoes and
Put down your stress
We're going to a place that no one thought up yet
Move along to the beat of the drum
I will follow you if you'll follow me
One time, one more time
Let me see your eyes
Your eyes are moving me to feel all right
Back to the place where I once played
And all the debts I left unpaid, and I
Can see it in your eyes
Back in the car and heading west
I left my heart beating in your chest, you know
I see it in your eyes
Ties your shoes and
Put down your stress
We're going to a place that no one thought up yet
Move along with the beating drum
I will follow you, will you follow me
One time, one more time
Let me see your eyes
Your eyes, are moving me to feel all right

The Cabin
04:15
|
|||
|
Spent the summer building my place apart
From you
Used the nails that you gave to me
You said they would weather the storm
But oh how the wind it blows
And the cabin walls start crumbling down
And you choose to turn away
Dust off your knees and get up from the ground
Did you ever know this was your plan
This wreckage
A year gone and your scent is still on my hands
Try harder
I build up the walls and I take back the land
You must understand
This is my demand, please
Turn back around
Tiny scratches on my retinas
A shifting of the setting sun
The fading light begging me to pack away
The pages of your cursive hand
And how the ink it starts to bleed
Each lie melts slowly into the rest
Do you feel like you've come away
Ashamed yet unscathed so it's al for the best
Did you ever know this was your plan
This wreckage
A year gone and your scent is still on my hands
Try harder
I build up the walls and I take back the land
You must understand
This is my demand, please
Turn back around

Welcome
03:33
|
|||
|
Of all of the secrets that I've held close to my chest
This one's bound to burn a hole
(But still I hold it closer)
Maybe the turnaround is we won't have to hit reset
And save the screaming for my soul
(But still I hold it closer)
And counting down the nights and days
We'll be behind the darker ways
When all the dreams we're dreaming now
Will show its face among the crowd
And I will sing and shout out loud hello
Hello, welcome to the world
Hello, hello, welcome to the world
There was a day that you and me would drop the protest
But we're a little wiser from the road
(Just come a little closer)
Maybe the runaround will shade the chance of regret
And pretty son we'll start the show
(Just come a little closer)
And counting down the nights and days
We'll be behind the darker ways
When all the dreams we're dreaming now
Will show it's face among the crowd
And I can sing and shout out loud hello
Hello, welcome to the world
Hello, hello, welcome to the world

If I Could
03:01
|

If I could I would buy you the moon
And build a moon house where we'd both have some room
To scribble on down all the things left unsaid
And take a moon nap on our little moon bed
If I could, then you know that I would
I would buy you the moon
If I could I would steal you the stars
And put 'em in a bag in the trunk of my car
And pull 'em on out when you needed a light
To shine on the haze of a dark, dark night
If I could,d then you know that I would
I woud steal you the stars
What a life we are living
The clock seems unforgiving
Let's see if we can make it
Slow, slow down
The only way I see it
Together we can try and beat it
And hope, and think, and know
That somewhere out there is an open road
If I could I would build you a boat
And figure out later how we'd both make it float
On all of the dreams that survive in our minds
Fish until we both have to close our eyes
If I could, then you know that I would
I would build you a boat
What a life we are living
The clock seems unforgiving
And all I want is for that thing
To slow, slow, slow down
Does it make you hope a little
We'l both meet in the middle
And hope, and think, and know
That somewhere out there is an open road
If I could I would write you a song
Including the things that maybe go wrong
And all of the chords would help us to see
That we make the sweetest melody
If I could, then you know that I would
I would write you a song

What I Was Thinking
03:02
|

|
You asked me what I was thinking
Then I told you what I was thinking
And then we knew
And away we flew
Do you think there's somebody out there
That fits together with somebody out there
And would they see
They're like you and me
There's a glory inside of the story
Of those that can open their eyes
There's a mystery inside of our history
And I want to make it all mine
I'd settle for more of your time
And all you asked me
Is what I was thinking
You asked me what I was doing
Then I showed you what I was doing
I'm working on
Your new favorite song
Can I place all the things that you gave me
In the room where the life that you gave me
Won't fade away
Would it make you stay
With all the hunger and lightning and thunder
We'll stay inside for the day
I am sold when I have you to hold
So I'll keep praying for rain
And all you asked me
You asked me what I was thinking
Then I told you what I was thinking
And then we knew
And away we flew
