Raindrops

I’m going down, for too long I’ve tiptoed aroundmind if I sit here and wait for the shadows wave off the cavalry, try not to drown
I’m going right, right where the devil can’t hide carefully planned it inside where I fight these voices that keep me from letting me fly
but these raindrops keep pulling me keep pulling me down
I’m going in, and I don’t know how long I've been watching my life through a dream now awake I'm armed with my naked, I can finally begin
I’m going there, so take me or leave me don’t care there’s only one life to live dammit I need it break through the ceiling, breathe my own air
but these raindrops keep pulling me down
I’m going down careful but can’t look back now I believe chance, well it's right on my side now rise to the top now I'm coming around
I’m going down the raindrops hitting nothing but groundhold my own hand as I rise off the shadows, rise off the shadows
I’m going down

Gales
03:15

The tempered waters angered, began to swell and
take her in to the storm destroyed the lighthouse shining, can’t lead the way for others to get home
it came without a warning, took every breath we had throughout the night gales blew into the morning, what lived was left but
never right the waves, a way, to take
Our sharpened edges smoothed by each crash where rock meets blue
the hearts comes to lifefrom caves the hidden reasons, pulled out to raging seas
where still birds fly
It came without a warning, took every breath we had throughout the night
Gales blew into the morning, what lived was left but never right
the waves, a way, to takewhat’s left, of us
Untrapped we find what’s living
Enwrapped in seas forgiving calm now I from tides beyond our nightmares now once again smooth waters calm now I

My Time
03:24
|

Hands around me combine, around me unwind around me I go
Hearts unspoken in rhyme, unbroken by time
around me I go
Mmm you’re pulling away, calling me baby
I call a night
Mmm you call it a day dream, you call it a maybe
I call it my time
Pain surrounds the outside, around me are vines, around me I find
Hearts controlling my mind, controlling my nights, controlling my life
Mmm you’re pulling away, calling me baby
I call a night
Mmmyou call it a daydream, you call it a maybe
I call it my time
Halves resolved over time, unfold on my dime, around me I find
Hearts I’ve tried letting go
They follow me home
Around me I go
My Time

Spinning
03:36
|

I keep spinning like the needle won’t wear heart is thinning and I pray it won’t tear I’m beginning to lose all the air from this spinningWe are sinking in a room full of ropes
we keep thinking we can hold on to hope but we’re sinking, were sinking
Moving on, when you can’t let go were an endless song, round and round we hope for a miracle it’s so wrong but this carousel can’t go on
You keep dancing like the floor's not on fire, keep romancing with such guiltless desire what they can’t see through your eyes is a liar you keep dancing
We’re repeating these deceptions we’ve made can’t stop treating one and other this waySo we’re spinning and were dancing
Moving on, when you can’t let go were an endless song, round and round we hope for a miracle it’s so wrong but this carousel can’t go on
We’ve heard every second guess and we’ve seen so clear that we’ve made a messit’s a miracle that we’ve gone on this round about for so long

Change
03:27
|

|
I can’t even try to reach, hold your pillow to help me sleep
I know what I’ve done again, pushed the button you
had and then and then
to think you had fallen, so deep you’d forgive again
but this break is from too much bend
but I beg you don’t walk away, please believe me
that I can change I can make you forget the pain,
baby don’t walk away
be your sunshine right through the rain, use my
body as Novocain
Baby don’t walk away
giant rooms turned to tiny spaces where my mind is
now left with me
and I pick up your clothes, save for when you come home
he means nothing to me
And this is no time to go
this is no time to go
but I beg you don’t walk away, please believe me
that I can change I can make you forget the pain,
baby don’t walk away
be your sunshine right through the rain, use my
body as Novocain
Baby don’t walk away
where there once was options, seems like we’ve lost the key
Versatile disruption, guess there’s no changing me
no changing me
but I beg you don’t walk away, please believe me
well, I can't change, but I'm crawling don't walk away
baby don’t walk away
be your sunshine right through the rain, use my
body as Novocain
Baby don’t walk away

In the Stars
03:10
|

|
I still dream you next to me
but it’s just make believe
that we’d travel galaxies
in my fantasy my fantasy
before our doors were closed
before our love was broke
we would stare up through the smoke plan how it would be
Our fantasy
in the stars we are
left unchanged no more scars
in the stars we are
waiting patiently afar
mind is altering the past
held to something gone so fast
in darkness finding ways to last
just another day just one more day
find myself praying for night
I’ve even wished on satellites
that we could have just one more fight
and I would make you stay I’d make you stay
in the stars we are
left unchanged no more scars
in the stars we are
waiting patiently afar

Without You
03:00
|
|||
|
Every night to sail through the darkness, I keep forbidden types
they tide me over, standards get lower... infatuation incites
no deeper than my skin, I take them to keep them coming in, I break them
yeah I’ll lead them on, the need is strong, and you are gone
yeah I’m not sleeping without you I’m not thinking without you, without you
endless secrets without you, all these regrets about you
without you
and in day to steer through the lightning, creep in and out of bars order another, filling the hole that’s thundering in my heart
one more shot to end, your eyes from
entering my mind, it’s lies that
we could just move on, I can’t you’re wrong, I just don’t belong
I’m not sleeping without you
I’m not thinking without you
all this regret about you without you
Oh.. can I say the words, intertwine the hurt, with the good, with the hurt
I’m not sleeping without you

One Last Stop til Boston
04:21
|

|
Clichéd love song playing in my head
as I reach to board the train in front of me
tear stained raincoat weighing on my lap
smell of your cigarettes will never leave
we said the distance would never be the end
but we
I got one last stop till Boston
I hope I find you there
to write the story we couldn’t finish here
checked my ticket but no luggage
my heart is all you’ll find
one last stop to Boston still time to change my mind
keep playing over the words I’m going to use
they all sounded so much stronger yesterday
With each track I feel it
I’m getting closer to
finding if I’m just a memory
we changed our reasons I don’t know whats right
but we
I’ve got one last stop til Boston
I hope I find you there
to write the story we couldn’t finish here
checked my ticket but no luggage
my heart is all you’ll find
One last stop till Boston still time to change my mind
I’ve got one more chance to make it right for
the time has cut to my core
I’m trying to believe
that you still want to
and feel the same as I do
this harbor's calling me too
and there’s no guarantee
I’ve got one last stop till Boston I hope I find you there to write the story we couldn’t finish here
checked my ticket but no luggage my heart is all you’ll find
one last stop til Boston
I hope I can change your mind

Feels Like Home
04:56
|
|||
|
Often I feel like something just ain’t right
Often I feel like this life spinning round me like
maybe it’s not me
too often I feel like
and I feel like home where the world just slows
if we’re not too grown, can we rewrite home
I feel I’d make it a place we can run to
where memories bring back the ones who
make us remember why we're here
Often it feels wrong, like something we’ve held down this love it don’t feel right
too often I tell you, something that ain’t true
how often you tell me
and I feel like home, is where our hearts just hold
if we’re not too grown , can we rewrite home
I feel I’d make it a place we could run to where memories bring back the ones who
make us remember why we're here
Where spotlights can no longer find us
we'll hide under moonlight and Stardust
Let’s rewrite our story while we roam... home
Often it feels like, life is just clock strikes
too often I feel like
need somewhere to ground me where
I can just be me, too often I feel like
and I won’t back down til I find my ground
And the world can slow and our hearts can grow and I’ll feel like home
like coming home
