Calm down Baby there’s not much we can do
Just keep moving forward, keep both your feet in your shoes
If every day is a gift, let’s not spoil this one with a rift
Just know that I will always love you
Don’t worry Baby, I’m never gonna let you fall
When you need me you know I’m as close as a call
So go on and pick up the phone
And don’t ever think you are alone
Know that I will always love you
Hold on to me Baby and my hands will never lose their grip
I’ll keep holding tighter if I should start to feel you slip
Come on and take this ride with me
Who knows in a year where we’ll be
Just know that I will always love you

These Dreams of You
03:42
|
|||
|
Sometimes when I close my eyes
I can see you there
See your eyes, see your smile
And I can almost touch your hair
Sometimes when I close my eyes
I can feel you there
Feel your arm next to mine
And I can almost smell your hair
Chorus:
But none of these dreams of you
Could hold a candle to
Having you there to hold my hand
Sometimes when I close my eyes
I can see your smile
It’s big and bright, fills the room
And keeps me going for that extra mile
Sometimes when I close my eyes
I can touch you there
Just hold your hand there in mine
And run my fingers through your long red hair

Remind Me You are Here
02:58
|
|||
|
When the rain comes down I feel like I’m gonna drown
And every drop will land inside my lungs
When you drive away with nothing much to say
Some strange fear says you may not return
Chorus:
Hold me close, say that you’ll never go
Let your sweet lips whisper in my ear
Kiss me slow, Baby let me know
Squeeze me tight, remind me you are near
When the wind blows cold and cuts straight through my bones
My soul it shakes like leaves upon the trees
Baby, hold my hand and give me strength to stand
I do not think I’ll make it on my own

Us Once More
02:35
|
|||
|
Honey, turn off the phone
I wanna be left alone
Let’s sleep until the sun goes down
And act like we’re not around
Chorus:
All the world can keep on running by outside our door
I don’t care I’d rather hold you close
And be us once more
Honey, kiss me slow
I thought that you should know
I always want you next to me
I know that you’ll agree

Untitled #1
03:21
|

|
Another summer storm has swept across the state
Turning blue skies to grey
Clouds break loose and give up the rain
I keep thinking of you today
Chorus:
Let the rain come down 3x
Let it wash us now
Do you remember when we ran through the rain...
On that perfect summer day
You were more beautiful than all the things I’d ever seen
You could have chased the clouds away

Seems like I’ve been waiting such a long time
For someone to come and rescue me
But if I keep on waiting for the right time
She may fly away in front of me
Yesterday I noticed that the leaves were
Turning brown there right before my eyes
Summer’s clock is slowly winding down now
The sun is dipping down beneath the sky
Faintly I can hear the winter whisper
Calling to me from the gates of dawn
The thinness of a cold wind getting thicker
And autumn falling to a sleepy yawn
Seems like I’ve been waiting such a long time
For someone to come and rescue me
But if I keep on waiting for the right time
She may fly away in front of me

End of Time
03:30
|
|||
|
It all went south
Before I woke
You’re breaking my heart
Is what she spoke
Pre-Chorus:
If I could say one more thing
I know what it would be
Honey, these words come too late
To rescue you and me
Chorus:
If we could ride off into the sunset
And I could hold your hand in mine
Then we would never have to wonder
Will we make it to the end of time
She drifted far
away from me
She drifted til
I could not see

Self Destruct in Ten
04:25
|
|||
|
None of the words in my head are coming out tonight
When they hit the page they’re wrong
I could say it a thousand times, but none of them feel quite right
And it seems I’ve been stuck here far too long
Chorus:So I surrender again to the thoughts inside my head
Though they self destruct in ten
Come deliver me from the mess I have become
‘Cause I’m drowning in my sin
All of the thoughts in my head are wishing that I was now dead
Or I could evaporate like rain
The loneliness gets to me and makes it so I can’t see
All of the beauty for the stain

November
03:42
|
|||
|
Check the engine and secure the landing gear
The Inspection's almost done
Pre-flight drips of tension in the air
And we haven't quite begun
Chorus:
And you can see it on a cold day in November
As the sun drops from the sky
And I can feel it if you ask me to remember
But I cannot tell you why, cannot tell you why
All this waiting has been putting me on edge
Like a killer and his gun
Been spinning my wheels but I'm grounded for this flight
And I've got no where to run

We've Got the Moon
05:15
|
|||
|
I have been sitting here wondering what you must be thinking
The wind picked you up and blew you where I could not go
But all I can do is sit all alone while I’m waiting
And pray for the time when the wind will carry you home
Chorus:
We’ve got the moon 3x
To keep us together when we are apart
Outside the stars are all shining bright right in their places
The clouds are all here floating by up in the sky
But the night is still missing the sight of our smiling faces
So look to the moon and it won’t be long til I’m near by
