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 you're 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, 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

Eye of the Storm
03:57
|
|||
|
Feel the weight pulling under
Try to brace for the reckoning
Piece by piece, layer by layer
Make amends with the storm within
Sail away on murky water
Over head the clouds are gray
No turning round; like a soul born sailor
The only way on out is going through it
Tidal wave and hurricane
C’mon, take me under
Fire away, take your aim
Make it straight for the heart
Fire away, I’ll be waiting in the eye of storm
Step inside the hallowed forest
All the while the dusk is threatening
There’s no compass, there’s no breadcrumbs
The only way on through is by instinct
Avalanche and earthquake
C’mon, I surrender
CHORUS

Back to You
04:31
|
|||
|
Once upon a time not so long ago
You were mine and love was for granted
All the stars would shine along the fairytale rhyme
But turn the page and find goodbye
The ivory tower where you once found me
I let me hair down for you to climb
Was something on your mind; so silent and paralyzed
Now I just wonder why
One more day of this and I can’t breathe
One more day of this is all I need
One more look into the past and I am falling
Falling back to you
Was it all a dream that we were walking in?
Have we seen the better side of things since it all?
But you’re waking up in screams and I’m clawing at the walls
Trying to make sense of it all
Break & sway, maybe...
Chorus
Back to you, back to you, back to you
When the curtain falls we all go home with pieces of
The prince and maiden fair living happily someway, somewhere
Waiting for a chance again
Break & sway, tell me that...
Chorus
Back to you, back to you

Change of Season
04:53
|
|||
|
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

Heart Drop
02:28
|
|||
|
The light’s at the end of the tunnel
The storm is coming to pass
The shadow over my shoulder
Is having it’s last laugh
Marching to the beat of the faithful
The pulse is on the seat of my soul
So baby come a little bit closer
Cuz it feels alright
ooo ooo you get me goin’
ooo ooo don’t let it stop
ooo ooo you get me goin’
feet in, heart drop
It’s been making me a little bit crazy
It’s been making me a little bit whole
So turn the dial up to eleven
Hell yeah, let’s go
Just slow down when I’m ahead of myself
So I can hear every word that you’re saying
Baby, get a little bit closer
Cuz it feels alright
ooo ooo you get me goin’
ooo ooo don’t let it stop
ooo ooo you get me goin’
feet in, heart drop
every word
and the look in your eyes
is making me feel alive

Fade to Gray
03:24
|
|||
|
Hold onto yourself you’ve got a long long way to go
A crippled belief that always keeps you wanting more
Anyway you take it, any way you choose
If you keep on it that way you’re just gonna lose
Everything
Gave up the wild, but it’s still following you
And given the choice you still hold onto
Talking to the doctors, reading all the books
You still don’t have the answers to why it doesn’t work
Do you?
Shaking off the chains
You never choose the easy way
Scene and fade to gray, fade to gray
Put on a boot and start the day
Never think twice about the way
Every time it happens you never seem to learn
That what you’re putting out there’s what you’re getting in return
hey
Shaking off the chains
You never choose the way
Scene and fade to gray, fade to gray

The Whip
03:31
|
|||
|
Started out on a dusty road
Hit the city line
Found a nickel that landed on heads
And knew that I would be fine
Gotta a little red sports car, baby
And stepped on the gas
0 to 60 in 3.5
And I never looked back
Over and over it seemed to me
Little by little I’m driving it
Calling it closer or calling it quits
Fueling the fire, whipping the whip
Sat on a table with a bright white light
And I heard the call
I took notice from that day forth
To give everything and more
Chorus
Right a wrong and tame regret
Today’s a jewel, don’t forget it
Every night when I lay my head
I remember that day
Make every bit of difference that you can make
Don’t let it all get away
Out on the highway you are alone
To make it better or worse
Before you make it home
Chorus

One That Got Away

Go
03:29
|
|||
|
Turn up the radio, it’s my favorite song
And I wanna run away from what’s in my mind
Running on empty and gas isn’t cheap
Tell me it’s alright and you’re coming with me
Pack up the things and make a start
Far enough away from these parts
Chasing down a dream of the heart
Go
Crossing the line, taking aim
Ain’t got the money and just barely my name
Head on south, leave this behind
Dirty little vagabond holding onto the lies
Pin and paste rewind erase &
Chase these wasted days &
Give my head some space & run....

Hey Little Mama
03:12
|
|||
|
Tell the fire how it should burn
Tell the tables how they should turn
Tell the songbird how it should croon
Then tell me what you think you should do
You got one life for living; that’s all that’s given to you
So make your decision when they’re pushing you into
Hey little mama, you just gotta say no
Hey little mama, you just gotta say no
Don’t you know they take what they can
Don’t you see it’s a well mastered the plan
Tell you jump and you’re already damned
But you can take it all back in your hand
You got one life for living; that’s all that’s given to you
So change your direction cuz baby it’s all up to you
CHORUS
I’ve been down that road before all alone
But we’re not alone anymore
You get wise with a lesson that’s learned
So just remember that when it’s your turn
They’ll be pushing against what you earned
But you can tell them not to fuck with the word
You got one life for living; that’s all that’s given to you
So make your decision when they’re pushing you into
CHORUS

Into the Blue
04:22
|
|||
|
Away from the cold, away from the rain
Just looking for sunshine all over the place
You’re looking to Thailand somewhere by May
I’m looking for something to take me away
Over the all these oceans into the blue
Over the winter, over the pain
Just waiting for something that I couldn’t name
A plane ride to Phoenix and I’ll be ok
Just get me the hell on outta this place
Roll these clouds of thunder into the blue
Up and outwards over these mountains to you
I have been waiting when will I see you again
Little I’m able to let it all in
Now that I’ve found you all over again
And you’re on the highway out in the world
And I’m running reckless on into myself
Roll these clouds behind us into the blue
CHORUS
Will I go or will I stay?
Will I find you next time again?
When I try it just changes shape
And I fall behind with every little step I take
CHORUS
Again, Again, Again

Wishes
04:22
|

|
You've been wishing for too long
That things be different than they are
And all that beauty is just lost
Wishes, wishes
You put and "x" right through the heart
And show nobody who you are
But spend your time wanting more
Wishes, wishes
And time is just a restless child that always gets its' way
So never mind your tired eyes and broken up remains
Sometimes you have got to face
How things can just so quickly change
Regardless of what you can take
Wishes, wishes
And time is just a poor reminder that just gets in the way
So never mind your tired eyes and stupid old mistakes
Walk, walk along, let it fall where you are
Fall away, let it start, rising up where you are
Time is traveling at a clip
And you will miss it if you blink
But you should keep your little dream - Wishes, wishes

Never Enough
03:55
|
|||
|
Dim the lights down to the twilight
Til I feel the fire in your eyes
Stiing so close like you'll never be close enough
And time & time & time is slipping on by (us)
Your touch is like a rescue
And I don't wanna let that go
One night, this love
It's never gonna be enough
Hold on don't let go
I want it more and more
This night I know it's never gonna be enough...
Like all my life I've been waiting for this
A moment in time, the moment of your kiss
Racing through my mind trying to make sense of it
And all the while the while the while our timing is makeshift
Your smile is like a rescue
And I don't wanna let that go
CHORUS
Hold my breath and watch the dawn
Too far in and too far gone
Your touch is like a rescue
And I don't wanna let that go
CHORUS
