Think Of You
03:48

Time hasn’t changed my tune
Still mesmerized by you
I sit and think of you
I sit and think of you
Given me what I need
Took the wheel and thought I was free
I sit and think of you
I sit and think of you
Woke up no weight inside
You’re the first thing on my mind
I sit and think of you
I sit and think of you
Don’t want to look ahead
Hang off the edge instead
I sit and think of you
I sit and think of you
Wandered wherever the signals loud
and many voices stayed
Held out for long enough to decide
it’s made to be this way
Some days will rise with me
Row through endless streams
I sit and think of you

Headlights

Feels good to be back in the middle
Now everything has changed
As we batten down the hatches
Let the bullets fly above our heads
They say that we are too far gone
So we stare at headlights till we can not blink anymore
Completely dazed
You’re the shot in the arm I needed
Was a crippled, grinning fool
And you said I gave you direction
When your head would overrule
Watch out (I could have ran all day)
Tread light (Dig my heels out of clay)
Move on (I could not see the way)
In spite (Fear is my only shame)
Of hurt (Look back when we were old)
Who’s right? (A chance to right a wrong)
Make up (Stay put till the rain has gone)
Still time (We were in all along)

Came in on a whim
Gone over the line
Thicker than your skin
Bloodier than wine
Scratching on your back
Fading on the floor
Shut the murmurs out
It was easier before
Now the doubt is here again
And with you I swore I wont pretend
At least you didn’t know
At least you didn’t know
Maybe in a day
Our tangles will unwind
The meaning never came
A needing to rewind
Deeper we can’t go
Misty eyed I’m sure
Lying on demand
It was easier before
Now the doubt is here again
And with you I swore I wont pretend
At least you didn’t know
At least you didn’t know
My heart is laid
Even though the endings on the wall
Talking underwater till I break
And I’ll lose my way back home

Feeling old and my bones are aching
I move slow but I’m sound of mind
Taking cues from the noise around me
Signals weak but I feel alright
And it’s you that’s keeping me waiting
And it’s you that’s shutting down
If I should fall behind the wrong man
Cross my heart I’ll stand my ground
My oh my this is unexpected
Caught off guard, you and me surprised
Played along like its all in it’s place
Fortunes built on a roll of the dice
Here before
But tonight we’ll be unsure
You’re the object of my disaffection
Oh how quickly we burn the attraction
Choosing sides
In the morning you’ll change your mind
You’re the object of my disaffection
Oh how quickly we burn the attraction

Sooner Or Later
03:33
|
|||
Broken by your own volition
In spite of your condition
A beating heart to spare
Ragged clothes and indecision
Tucked away for a morning mission
No sense in truth or dare
Sooner or later my love will call
If only for this night that we’re left alone
Sooner or later my love will call
It wont disturb the slumber as we fall
Into a dream we dreamt before
Fading lights there’s no mistaking
Embers of the night we’re making
Convinced that we are free
Jump the queue, ignore the puzzle
Lose yourself in a distant shuttle
It’s never as it seems
Give a little bit of what you own
Wrestle with the reasons that make you go or stay

Practice What You Preach
03:53
|
|||
Holed up in a room
With a candle for a light
The shadows won’t lay still
And I hear your voice through the cover of the night
Whispering what you will
Do or say with a muddy mind
Is your happiness out of reach?
As a rule of thumb it will all come together
When you practice what you preach
If you practice what you preach
It’s the lies you haven’t told
Like the wolves that’s circling
Deep beneath your soul
Apparitions can’t reclaim
Scattered pieces that you threw away before
Ever feel like you’re underground
Better reach out you’re on shaky ground
Covered scars and broke down cars
No promises left to keep
If the years have gotten away from me
It’s best if we resist
The lure of another round
And an end to make you weep
As a rule of thumb it can only get better
When you practice what you preach
If you practice what you preach
To be honest things are grey
Like a memory fading with each day
I’ll fill the blanks with what we could have gave
Is it way too late?

Don't Hurry Baby
03:36
|
|||
When I’m with you I sometimes worry
That you’ll grow up in a hurry
And you’ll miss life’s little flurries
Sometimes that is good
All around you there could be dangers
You will laugh and cry with strangers
Have your heart broken and awakened
I know you’ll get through
Looking back in time
I never saw the finish line
Working out what’s mine
Was never clear
But then you arrived
Felt the joys of ties that bind
And won’t question why
Our time is here
Listen to your ma, she knows best
She’s the reason we’re not in a mess
When you’re flustered she’ll bring on some sense
To why are you are blue
I’m not perfect, I get impatient
I may not hear every word said
But I promise to be an arms length
Away from you
I can’t give you all
Played the reckless card before
When I stare in your eyes
I get caught into
Your daily surprise
I’ll get better for you

Empty Handed
03:32
|

I’ve been fishing for a sign that we know that was never there
Chased imaginary lights for a price but you won’t care
Oh I’ve lied, terrified, even cried for a chance to stay
There ain’t nothing you can do to persuade me the other way
So Sad
Keep returning for a chance with you
So Bad
That we somehow could have made it too
Could we?
In another place and another life
Rolled the dice for many years but the odds were never clear
My denials can’t disguise all the words that we really fear
Oh I’ve lied, terrified, even cried for a chance to stay
There ain’t nothing you can do to persuade me the other way
So glad
Even if it’s just a dream of you
So bad
That I’ll hold on like a rambling fool
Don’t say
In another place, another life I’d be a different story played

Count Your Blessings
04:31
|
|||
Is it even really possible
To light a match when the wind won’t hold?
Pay no mind if the truth to be told
Staring out at a fate that’s sold
I never could escape my one mistake
So I’ll sleep in the cold
Over the silence
Red & old
Rub your eyes till the pictures change
Count your blessings with a hand that saves
Stayed afloat as we fight the waves
Fool proofed as we come of age
I never could escape my one mistake
So I’ll sleep in the cold
Over the silence
Red & old
We wanted more
Over the silence

Twice Around
03:00
|
|||
I begin to wonder
What I'm in for
Knew from the beginning
That we've been here before
Meet me in the corner
This is not a game
Pray for my revival
Be ignored just the same
And I need you to understand
And I need you to take my hand
The path of least resistance
Is easier to take
Landing in goldmines
You're the hardest thing to shake
Somewhere in the bustle
Find a branch to keep
Drinking to remember
The tainted faith before we leap
I need you to understand
These days lean heavy on demand
Been twice around but I don't want to go
Right up to the minute
Hours we have left
Dreading every second
Till goodbyes are coldly met
We'll welcome the tomorrows
As we lose our way
The hurt is just a mirror
To a face no longer strange
