Say you love but you’re leaving
Say you’re here but you’re gone
Throw me out like the change in your pocket baby
Move on
I can tell that you’re trying
I can see that you’re scared
Trail of fears and a face for denying baby
But I’m still here
Maestro
Taking my time
Lights low
Making me work
Shine on
Baby you’re gonna be mine
I know
The thing about love is a
High road
It never is enough and the
Mind goes
It’s all in your head
But the tears don’t lie
Cashing out on a feeling
Walking high in a cloud
Close your eyes for a second and you’ll see it
Baby
There’s no way out
Trade your high for a fever
(high, so high)
Sink yourself in a hole
(way down low)
Cut me out like a face in your locket baby
Don’t let go
(let me tell you about…)
Yeah we all got our reasons
To hold onto a kiss
But darling believe me
It’s too late for a miss
There’s blood in the water
And a river running down your face
That kind of woman you just can’t replace

Patience

There was a time when I was too scared to call upon you
I had a weight around my neck and I was dying from it
Thought I could keep it to the end of this life or maybe the next
But every time I made my mind up to try to say it
The fear of losing you would rise up and rearrange it
Trying to bury this secret gave me a grave of my own
I really wish I had patience
I’m tired of chasing this ghost
I really need your forgiveness for me to ever let go
So here comes a confession
I’ve been running so long
It finally feels like a blessing to admit when I’m wrong
Everyday I grab tighter when you say you love me
‘Cause I knew I had a darkness that was coming for me
Thinking what you don’t know can’t hurt you, but you know that ain't true
It’s another situation that you put yourself in
No one can love you if you don’t risk and never tell them
But only truth can pull you out from the pit of hell
How many times can I fall and wake up?
How many times can I change my mind?
How many times can I test your love?
When fate’s on the line it’s so easy to give up
What kind of life is staying stuck?

Be Yourself

Show me where your darkness lies
You don’t ever have to hide
Oh, you can be yourself
Yeah, you can be yourself
I feel your hidden river ragin’
I’m not asking you to change it
Oh, you can be yourself
Yeah, you can be yourself
Say what you want
I don’t care where it goes
If I’m gonna love you completely
We gotta let it all show
Who knows you better
Who could love you any more
You can trust me completely
I’m just asking for you to be yourself
Oh, you can be yourself
You’re my hero you’re my villain
Oh, and I don’t care who wins
Oh, you can be yourself
Yeah, you can be yourself
I’m in love with all your pages
I don’t want to see it end
Oh, you can be yourself
Yeah, you can be yourself
The way I see it
We are all afraid to love
It’s safe to let me love you
No part of you I wouldn’t touch
We fall down
We weaponize our words
No secret has the power
To diminish your worth

Heartland

It’s a been a few miles since my face got to see the sun
Walls closing in on me like a loaded gun
Dreaming of a place where I can let go of time
Somewhere I can rest my mind
I’ve been dreaming of the wild, wild plains
Walking where the pine trees dance
Where the river runs deep and the birds all sing in the great expanse
Howling at the moonlight sleeping underneath the stars
Wondering why I let myself ever get this far from the heartland
I wanna watch the going down and the rising up
Stretching my arms out laughing with the ones I love
Hoping for a slow down trying to beat the middle class rush
Somehow we never get enough
Laying in the wildflowers
Watching clouds go by
Say a little prayer for the problems I left behind

Criminal

Say it to you now, it’s my last confession
I don’t wanna go down as missed connection
I can’t handle it
The stars are looking like a future of regret
‘Cause I’m scared to get a little dirt on my hands
Stuck in the middle of it
I just want to slow it down
This broken heart has got me cynical
I fooled myself that I was in control
Killing my nights, stealing my dreams
I’ll take the fall if you stay here with me
‘Cause losing you would be so criminal
You say that I should let my body tell me
‘Cause all these agreements I’ve made, they always fail me

Wish It Was Mine

Praying for an easy morning
Can’t hide the sad from my face
But I try it to keep a smile on it
I’m soon to be leaving this place
I can see you slowly sinking
Out on island alone
I can feel the walls creeping
Tears fall like rain on the floor
I wish I knew just what to say when I’m leaving
I wish I could turn back the time
My heart and head screaming out don’t you say it
There’s no easy words for goodbye
I know I can’t be where you need me tonight
I see your heart breaking now and I wish it was mine.
It’s hard to see a happy ending
My world seems like it’s broke in two
Wagon with the wheels missing
It just ain’t the same without you
We don’t get to let this go
There’s too much life that we both know
So lay it down and tuck it in
‘Cause someday soon we’ll dance again

Get It Back
03:24

Two hearts always break in a crooked line
You can say you’re sorry but it still hurts every time
They keep saying, “Son, it’ll be alright”
But hands on the clock and tears on the page don’t lie
Cause the drugs don’t work
When you feel this bad
There’s no lighthouse in the distance
When you’re this far out from home
I wish I would’ve known
I wish I would have known that
When you give your heart to someone
You might never get it back 2x
Two smiles stay the same but a picture hides
No postcard from the future that could ever change your mind
They keep saying, “Girl, just live your life”
But just because they say it doesn’t mean that they are right
Cause the time will come
When the lights go down
And the drugs won’t work
And the silence isn’t peaceful
It reminds you that you’re alone
You wish I would’ve known
You wish I would have known that
When you give your heart to someone
You might never get it back 2x

Be The Man
03:24

Lately
All my hearts have been breaking
All these games I've been playing
Straying from the plan
Just trying to be the man
It’s hard now trying to be balanced man
Every ounce of me is begging for a midnight plan
Crossfire of arrogance and a humble stance
Heaven help me I just really want to be your man
I can’t help it
I was born selfish
Tired of being all that I am
So blame me, but you can’t say that I’m safe when
I’m just trying to keep changing
Changing all that I can
‘Cause I’m trying to be the man
Chemtrails carving up a shadow past
Got my face up on the building but I’m short on cash
Some days I can see the worn out trail
But in the morning it’s still hard for me to find myself
Save me cause all my bones have been aching
All these prayers I’ve been faking
It’s time to make a stand

Death Of Me
03:29
|

When the silence comes easy
But your worries don’t slow down
I know it’s been rough, babe
But it wasn’t my fault
I’ve got fears for the future
Before it even gets started
We both got our reasons
For making this hard
I wish I could love you better
But it don’t come naturally
Yeah, our broken hearts might break together
In a last chance symphony
Girl, you’re gonna be the death of me
I can see your reflection moving on slowly
One imperfection is all that you see
When the shadow keeps drifting
Like waves on the pavement
Nothing comes easy when you’re here with me
I just wanna slow down
‘Cause I don’t really know how this thing ends
But if I’m gonna go down
I guess I’m going down like this

Go Ahead
04:07
|

Somebody’s gonna tell you that it ain’t your time
Somebody’s gonna miss you but they’ll be alright
Sometimes you gotta let the good things pass
Sometimes they hold you close but still they hold you back
Go ahead and take all the photographs
Go ahead and live like you never have
Go ahead and drive to the edge of town until there’s nothing left
Go ahead and run it right off the the tracks
Just keep it going don’t you ever look back
Go ahead and do all the things we talked about
But never did
Go ahead
Kinda easy to fear what you cannot see
Kinda easy to say it ‘til it’s me you leave
Sometimes you gotta let the good things pass
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
I hope you find yourself far enough away from home
To get your money’s worth of grace before it’s gone.

Make Your Own Mistakes
04:19

Last night
I could tell that you were listening
I could tell that you were wishing
You were older
And it breaks my heart
Oh, ‘cause I hope you can find a way of living
You can find your own forgiveness
So when you fall
You don’t fall far
‘Cause I don’t want you to follow me down those
Same crooked roads to the same old places
I just want you to
Go your own way
You don’t have to chase down the same dreams I did
A heart like yours is hard to break
So go and make your own mistakes
Last night
I was painting you a picture
And I’m not proud of those decisions
But you needed to know the truth
Just ‘cause they’re mine
You don’t have to take ‘em with you
You’ll come across them if you’re meant to
I hope you just walk on by
Oh, you can make your own mistakes
Take as long as you take
A heart like yours is bound to break
So go and make your own mistakes

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption
