Once Was

Bring your heart to the alter
Bring all the love that came before
There's a breath in the vapor and a push to the start
Hold my hand in the dark maybe I want more
Restless in the surrender
As you walk in the door
Tell yourself that your’e stronger than you’ve ever been before
Walk off all the lies, c’mon baby find me
Can’t fight this one more time so let’s do it again, do it again
And I’m gonna just try to remember to forget everything
Just let the stars in your eyes tell me the story of
Who I once was
Turn it down to a whisper
Let me catch my breath before it starts
Put all the pieces back together before it all blows apart
Unwrap and unwind it, reach out in the dark
CHORUS
Open up, ready for
Heart of hope in a metaphor
The innocent thirsty for
An awakening at every dawn
So by now it must be written
Cast the stone and down I fall
Kicking and screaming and oh-so-willing
There’s no better to fall
Maybe you remind me what I do it for
CHORUS

Beautiful Girl

Oh, the many sides of you and the things I still don’t know yet
There’s a world undiscovered and I may never know the half of it
Walk through the fire and sit in the rain again
Cuz every time out on the other end
Stronger than steel, heart full of gold
You’re gonna come around again
More than your name, more than your skin
Cuz baby that’s all for show
Wear your lightening, roll your thunder for everyone to know
You’re a beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful girl
You’re a beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful girl
There isn’t much of anything worth much of anything as much as your soul
So why waste your time covering the glow (I think we both know)
(you can) Dance through the fire and laugh at the rain again
And every time out on the other end
CHORUS
The darkness - the howling - the fever - the mountains
The pain and the glory, in your eyes the story
(you can) Dance through the fire and laugh at the rain again
And every time out on the other end
CHORUS

You
03:50

When the sun came out today
I was thinking about you
And all the sweet and funny ways
you been changing up my tune
It’s alright, I think I want you to
Stolen moments behind the scenes
Give or take a time zone or two
And a few thousand miles always slipping in between
But I think it might be worth it if you do too
Wanna spend some time trying to?
Oh, I don’t wanna give it all away
Oh, Keep making me feel this way
Oh, Nothing more for you to do
Oh, just keep being you
I know I swore a thing or two
Not too long ago as well
About stepping into those shoes
But they slipped right on just like a spell
It’s alright, they wear me well
CHORUS
One more day and one more night
Until I find my way to you
Your eyes, your lips and your love
Have got me coming undone
And there’s nothing I can do, but
CHORUS

Change of Season
04:40
|

Just as summer faded out of view
The warmth of it’s surrender I never knew
Leaving it all and breaking all the rules
And a change in me was the change in you
How was I to know all the years before
The taste inside my mouth was sweet poison
But coming up and out was the subtle voice of reason
Bringing me/you/us around
Like a change of season
All the broken pieces I held onto
Falling like the leaves under autumn’s muse
Like a flash of light it all came to
Bringing closer the spaces between me and you
CHORUS
Will all our time run out, wash away, is it too late now
May it be more than a memory to hide in now
CHORUS

One That Got Away
04:32
|
|||
A bottle of bourbon and it's getting late
Talking it over in my head again
Don't it sting like a bee every time
You'd think I'd know better when you'll never be mine
Oh so wrong, holding on
Chorus:
Holding the lightening and letting it go
Only a moment before it's gone
Walking the hours into the flame
Pouring (pour me)another to the one that got away
It's ever so quiet the still of my heart
And every memory just tears me apart
Hope is a curse with fault line a mile
Tracing me back to the days of your smile
And all I know is I want more
CHORUS
Chains and rope have done no good
Keeping me from coming here again
Turn to turn I just get burned
Saving that little space for you and I
There's nothing to it, you just waste the time
Making the story somehow fit in your mind
Day after day, year after year
It all feels the same as when you were still here
So I'll hold on hard and strong
CHORUS
