THE THINGS I KNOW
Lose You Now
Holding onto smoke
Running out of fuel
We're missing what we broke
and it goes on and on and on
Flame's going out
not keeping us warm
we've filled our heads with doubt
and it goes on and on and on
Come on baby I don't wanna stay
But I don't wanna, I don't wanna lose you now
Come on baby, I don't wanna stay
But I don't wanna, I don't wanna lose you now
No I don't wanna lose you now
The silence screams at us
Begging us to break
But we're wordless just because
We're too damn tired
There's nothing left to build here,
Can't get back what we lost my dear, oh
Lord knows that we've tried our best,
but I guess it's not enough
One Last Night
Oh darlin'
Here we are again
No turning back around this time
Watch the ashes fall
As we lose it all
Nothing left of yours or mine
Let the fire burn
As the earth turns
Hold me close, one last night with you.
Tell me all the things
You've held within
All this time, tell me babe.
Are you gonna break?
We'll stay awake
and keep the morning light at bay
Let the fire burn
as the earth turns
Hold me close one last night with you.
In the full moon light
There's no black and no white
Hold me close, one last night with you
We've packed our bags
Now say goodbye
But I still don't want to walk away
Tears on the floor,
We can't stay here anymore
Set flame to the plans we made
Don't hold back,
Don't hold back
the shadows hide the coming storm
Don't hold back,
Don't hold back
there's no winner to this war
You're better off
Without my love
It never was enough
But what's done is done
Now I feel the sun
Shining through to me now
Promises
Hold onto me like the sand and the sea my love
Lonely I'll be when you say farewell to me my love
Oh, my world is
the color of your eyes
Everything else that I see
is just black and white
Wake me up with
the touch of your skin
and hold me through the night
Whisper into my ear that
every little thing is going to be alright
You are so strong
when I am weak
and you are so grounded
when I can't find my feet
Even though tonight
you're a thousand miles away
I can still hear your heart beat beating away
The open roads
and the light of the moon
don't give me quite the same comfort
as you do
Oh, these are promises I've made
Oh, won't you keep them in your hand
Fall into me like the sand and the sea,
My love
Call out to me when you're feeling lonely,
my love
Hey There
Hey there
I can't help but notice you in your
Wayfarers, hiding those baby blues
And when I catch your eyes holding that warm stare
I think something's telling me that love is in the air
I wanna be
the girl that makes you happy
and you could be
the one that drives me crazy
and we could be,
we could be
crazy happy in love
Can we just lay here
In the early morning sunlight
and we'll stay here
Forever if you'd like
I'll close my eyes but I don't want to fall asleep
I finally found that real life
is better than my dreams

Band-Aids
Oh it's taken this long
To forget who's right and who's wrong
And though my tears dried many years ago
I was still left with this hole
They say time heals all things
And it's funny what time will bring
Band-aids over battle wounds
and now there's barely a scar
And I am finally able
to call you
my friend again
Forgive and try to forget
Rebuild without regrets,
There is something beautiful
Still under the rubble
And ohh, caught in the undertow
Oh, being thrown around
It's like coming up for air after you almost drown
Ticket West
I've always been bound by the things I know
And I'm wasting time
Staying here I cannot grow
Like a flower without light
Grab a one way ticket west,
I'm going somewhere new
Pack the car and leave the rest
As long as I'm with you
I'll be just fine
Set me free under the desert sky
or take me north to Portland
Not gonna stop so don't even try
The highway is wide open
Dear Mom
When you lay your head to rest
How will you look upon your life?
Do you wish for more time with your father?
Did you make a proud wife?
Will you hold your mothers hands
And tell her she is forgiven?
And I hope you're satisfied
with how you raised your children
Not everyone can do
What you've done
With a smile like that of the rising sun
And those you've healed
Are grateful for you,
for you.
When you're here
All the monsters disappear
And shadows return
to the shapes they were before
And when a storm blows through
You always dig your roots
deeper into the ground
to keep us safe and sound
My Old Friend
Hello again my old friend
I thought I had washed away all of your scent
But you found the crack inside of my dam
Found your way back into my head.
All along you've been inside me
Lying dormant, still as can be
You know how to crush all my hopes and my dreams
But then again, you look so easy
It's a long way, a long way down
I hear your, hear your sound
Echoing dropping me down the well
'till it's me, only me
only me
My bowl is empty but my will is strong
Though I'm having trouble holding on
You've always got the best of me
It's getting dark now, hard to see.
Walk the rope but don't look down
Hold the winds, hold your ground,
You can taste it on your tongue
Though this war cannot be won
