FOR YOU AGAIN
Are you the one with a child, that took my place, that made you smile
Is There still a chance I could drive ya wild,
When the night’s still young and your hearts on fire
Are you the one
Do you still think about me the same, Or is there something in our way
are we in love, is love in us
Or did it break in two when two made one
When two made one
Oh and let me fall for you
Again
Oh I know, I'm your man, and you promised me you'd be my best friend
But what I don't want you to see,
is I’m no longer your missing piece
Oh and let me fall for you
Again
Bridge
I'm not asking you to change,
but we can't let things stay the same
is there something left in the air
so won’t you let me get you there
Oh and let me fall for you
Again

Younger Men

YOUNGER MEN
I could fly away, I could hide my face
Hop on silver wings, just to ditch this place
I tell ya what / I've seen it done/ cause it’s been done to me
I know it's one way to live, but it ain't for me
Chorus
Sometimes you gotta let it go / sometimes you gotta let It ride
letting losers win while letting fires die
Sometimes we gotta take the long way down before we understand
We had it all figured out when we were younger men
When we were younger men
Verse
Well they ain't that bad, they just lost their way
The thing you fear the most, you become its slave
I'll tell you boy you're pure of hurt, you love the light like I hate the dark
You’ll find your weakness is the witness that keeps hope alive
Bridge
But I can’t let this one slide
There’s way too much for me on the line
Time to pony up and kiss my pride.
Kiss my pride
Kiss my pride goodbye

A Hard Way To Learn

A HARD WAY TO LEARN
If I wrote you 5 letters would you throw them away
If I sent you 5 postcards would you put them in frames
would you read over them till the ink fades to gray
Or tear them apart and dispose them in flames
If I handed you roses would they die in your hand
If I handed you roses would they make me your man
would you raise them up slowly till they cover your mouth
Or sit on your doorstep till the petals fall off
CHORUS
You’re a hard way to learn
You’re a hard way to fall
Such a hard bridge to cross the one that I’m on
The one that I’m on
If you were the Ocean would you bring me to land
If you were an Ocean would I drown at your hand
would your deadliest wave ever bring me to you
would you swallow me up would you tear me in two
If you were a river would you bring you on home
would you slice through the valleys, wind under roads
Or would you be the dam that lays me to rest
and dry up the waters that flow from my chest

Mrs Bluebird
03:39
|

These bars will never make you free / but you’re safer now that you're with me
Might not know it, but I can show you how even captives can feel free
Some things can come into your life, Slow enough to pass you by
But before you know it, there's nothing growing, and your trapped by the winter sky
Chorus
Mrs. bluebird
Mrs bluebird
Mrs Bluebird you're so beautiful
I just wanted you to know, It's not safe out there no more
and I can't let you go / outside these doors
Verse
There's a side of me that you can't see Knowing you're broken doesn't make you free
And sharing the pain with a cross and a name
Hurts me more that you can see
Nothing you could ever do Makes you deserve to hear the truth
There's poison air in the atmosphere
and I Wouldn’t wish for that on you

DAYS GO BY
Girl you look like a child, who's ready to learn
And I feel like a boy heart heavy with my eyes wide and ready to burn
You used to live in the wind, you used to float in my dreams
And I was kinda crazy, my heart free and easy, my soul pure as pure could be
Chorus
I'll survive
I've learned a lot since I've been with you
Cause love takes time
Time has a way of running out on you
BUT I don't mind
I’m glad I spend it with you
You can still pack a punch, straight into my chest
And I don't mince words when I'm hurt you'll know I don't leave nothing to contest
But you still run through my blood, my heart beats your name
And I know I drive you crazy but I'm still your baby and you light up when You hear my name
Bridge
If this is what's left love
Well you'll be just fine
You'll be the stars honey
and I’ll be the night

WINTER MOON
I've been up for days
and I’m getting thin
the winter moon
Is staring at me again
I can't breath no
I can't sleep
Pre-Chorus
I’m afraid she might fail me
Any day she could leave me
CHORUS
Well there's nothing, left within me
that gives me reason to believe
Nothing I've done, should win back your love
But then I came to, when you broke through
And you found me on my knees
Here in the dark, you took back my heart
And I believe
VERSE
I can't drink
and I can't write
the winter moon
is full tonight
and I can't think no
and I can't speak
Pre-Chorus
I’m afraid she might fail me
Any day she could leave me

THE SHOW
Well time passes slow, when your mind feels young but your bodies old
still time marches on, though the hearts of man, are weak and worn
You've known me through it all
Prevailed through most improbable odds
Seen the depths and the peaks of love
Been right here all along, through it all
You've been abused, you walk through life with the guilt of the accused
I've worn my scars, been cut by the knife and burnt by the fire
Bridge
When the end is near, would you hold me dear until the moment I turn blue
If the light escapes right out my face, I hope my last words mention you
Heard the final days, of this slow parade, are the deepest shades of blue
But I think the end will be
I think the end will be
I think the end will be
The most beautiful show of all

Lines We Mend

LINES WE MEND
With the door cracked open I could hear the
I could feel your heart sink to the ground
I heard you screaming oh my Lord
Though word travels quick through the telephone wire
I could see it coming like a wildfire
it was way too much for you to bare
we set up candles in an empty room
and spun old records all afternoon
and waited for the news to break
CHORUS
I might keep you from the truth
so it don't get the best of you
you've been living for the fame
while they're praying you won't change
Though the lines we mend
will break apart again
I hear them rapping on the front door
They'll knock if they knock some more
but I'll never let em get to you
I heard their plans to drill holes in you
to rewire your brain into something new
the thought if that makes me ill
if you give it up will it take you down
will it steal your heart, will it steal your crown
will you lose your faith in who we are
Bridge
It was clear as day oh Lord
Final Chorus
I might keep you from the truth
so it don't kill the heart of you
you've been living for the fame
while they're praying you won't change
Though the lines we mend
will break your heart again

Might Have Been You

MIGHT HAVE BEEN YOU
Id look to you, when the world got heavy
You kept things still, you kept things steady
We shared the streets, tore up this city
You never said goodbye, wasn’t enough time
When I look in my rear view
might not have been me, might not have been you
when you think about me now
I bet you wanna come home but you don’t know how
If you could do it all again, would you stay right here
And let the walls cave in?
We’d sleep under the stars, before you got your wheels
before the levee broke, before the sirens squealed
You flew over the Ocean, but knew you’d never find
The hole in your heart, the missing peace of mind

What Am I To Do

WHAT AM I TO DO
what am i to do
when your skin is thin and pale
and your veins are red and blue
Honey what am i to do
Pretend it’s all okay
When your hair is turning gray
Should i call you everyday
When you're old and gray
What am i to do
when i see this happening to you
You’re part of me, and I’m part of you
So tell me what, am I to do
When i see your body ache
and your eyes forget my face
If you can hear me anyway
Tell me what, am I to do
