Beneath The Sky

Beneath the sky is where I
Kiss the boys I love
Beneath the stars above
Beneath the sky is where I
Hold this heavy torch
Sitting waiting on your porch
I didn't mean to drive you
I didn't mean to push you away
Come back to stay
I hope that you believe me
I how you trust me when i say
I've changed by ways
Oh you're so far away
I always wondered can you hear me?
I heard the news today
I heard you're coming home to see me

Daddy's Dyin'

Well your daddy's dyin'
And your mother she's movin' away
You love your brother
You're beggin' him to stay
Well your daddy always said
That you'd never amount to shit
You packed your bags
What are they gonna do about it?
But it's alright child
We'll cry tonight child
And then we'll say
We're gonna live for another day
Well the baby is comin'
And there ain't to much to say
You hate his father
Couldn't bear to stay
Now the baby is cryin'
And you can't remember the way
You lost your youth
That cold September day
What you do to me
Just ain't right
What we're doin' here
Every night
Where did you go
I just don't know
My love, my dear

Lost Cause
04:05
|

If we can’t ever make amends
And if this love is truly stranded
Just know that I wanted to
Everything has to end
That’s how it looks from where I’m standing
Just know I don’t want it to
I wanna know for sure if it’s even worth trying anymore
A lost cause worth fighting for
I’m halfway out your door
Trying to get it to where it was before
I don’t know if you’ve ever met
Someone who has given you their best
Just know that I wanted to
I know I never had the time
To say what was really on my mind
Just know that I wanted to

Change Your Mind
03:44
|

There’s a light that comes on when you’re at home
When you’re sleeping out in the yard
There’s a song that you sing when you’re alone
When the living’s just got too hard
And I don’t want you to change your mind
I just want you to leave me be
I know its hard being left behind
But I’m not the one that you need.
There’s a whole in your heart when we’re apart
Where the love just drains out
And the song that you sing don’t sound the same
When you just don’t know what it’s about.
And the song that you sing don’t sound the same
When you just don’t know what it’s about.

Flood
03:43
|

|
Photographs and picture frames
Are all that’s left of the better days
But there aint nothing left to say
Let that flood wash it all away
And when we’re standing on solid ground
We’ll take the rest and we’ll burn it down
And then we’ll up and leave this town
Once we were lost and now we’re found
There aint no shame
Sometimes it’s the only way
The only way to start again
The furthest places don’t seem so far
When we can see them from where we are
This doesn’t have to be the part
The one that ends with a broken heart
There aint no shame
Sometimes it’s the only way
The only way to start again
The fact remains
That nothings ever gonna be the same
Until we try to start again
Photographs and picture frames
Are all that’s left of the better days
But there aint nothing left to say
Let that flood wash it all away

Emily, I aint got nothing to say to you
At least not anything that’s true
Emily, I know you don’t think much of me
Well, we’ll just have to wait and see
Cuz I’ve been alone so long
And you’ve been alone so long
But now that I’m around
I won’t let you down
Emily, I aint got nothing to say to you
At least not anything that’s true
It may take a lifetime just to make
All these words come out right
So let’s make this the one chance that you take
And be with me tonight
Cuz I’ve been alone so long
And you’ve been alone so long
But now that I’m around
I won’t let you down
No, I won’t let you down

Like You
01:58

I’ve been looking high and low
It doesn’t seem to matter where I go
I’ve been searching for a girl like you
From the sky to the ocean floor
I’ve never met another like you before
I’ve been searching for a boy like you
Searching for a girl like you
Every time I meet someone new
I’ll do what I have to do
To find me a girl like you
I’ve been looking day and night
I’ll never stop searching cuz I think I might
Find me a girl like you
From the mountains to the sea
The good lord knows just where I’d be
If I don’t find me a boy like you

You're a flawed, flawed man
Why can't you take me as I am?
The woman at home who loves you
How can you say it's all right
When go out every night
Taking comfort in the arms of another?
How'd I fall in love with a liar?
How'd I fall into love with a drunk?
How'd I fall into bed with a sinner?
Oh the heart just wants what it wants.
The day that two became one
And I thought that it was love
And lovin' was all that you needed
Something old something new
And I thought that we were through
At least the parts that had any meaning
Warm breath in the dark
When you pulled me by my scarf
And kissed me in the snow covered doorway
A feeling so clear, so simple and sincere
It's the part that keeps me from leavin'
No one will ever love me like you love me
No one would ever be that cruel
And I'll be waiting here if you want me
Your wife, your whore, your fool
I guess we'll always be together
Now forever seems to long
No one will ever love you better
Oh the heart just wants what it wants

Come and Go
02:12

You come go
You come go
Yeah, you’re always leaving me alone
Where you go
Where you go
I’ll never know
One of these days I’m gonna lock my door
And I’ll tell you one thing for sure
You’re not gonna run on me no more
You come go
You come go
Won’t you find your way back home?
Don’t you know
That when you go
I love you more than I ever have before
And I’ll lose this foolish pride in me
And be sorry I set you free
Maybe you’ll come running back to me
You come go
You come go
Yeah, you’re always leaving me alone
Where you go
Where you go
I’ll never know
One of these days I’m gonna lock my door
And I’ll tell you one thing for sure
You’re not gonna run on me no more
You’re not gonna run on me no more

Why Aren't You Lonely
04:38
|

|
Your eyes twinkle like
Just like broken glass
The beautiful pieces light the shadow you cast
Why aren't you lonely?
Why do I care?
And when you tell me that you're through livin' here...
I knew I loved you
And I'd love you again
A fast farewell for the longest road home
And I swear that I see you everywhere that I go.

Too Tired To Fight
04:21
|

|
Oh my my, you've gone and done it again
Just when I begin to start walkin' down the line
I know why you're callin' again
To get your hooks in under my thin skin
But I never knew someone as cruel as you
But now I'm too tired to fight
And its been some time since we tried it again
And I know I'll buy it agian
Not sure why
But every time we fight
It feels better than being alone again
In the middle of the night
