Stranger 04:25
lyrics

I want to get out I want to shout Until you start listening Until you stop what you're doing I want to breathe free I want to see All the colors in view I'm just a man passing through Are you listening? Cause I want to say something Do you know what it's like to hurt on the inside? Are you listening? Cause they're trying to say something Do you know what's like To fight on the inside? Cause I'm hanging on all of your lines Like they'll even make a difference this time I'm wanderer but you call me lost I'm wanderer but you call me lost And I'll probably be stranger when I see you Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... I want to get out I want to doubt I’ll carry your shoes through the street I’m not the one in need Are you listening? Cause I want to say something Do you know what it's like To hurt on the inside? Are you listening? Cause they're trying to say something Do you know what's like To fight on the inside? Cause I'm hanging on all of your lines Like it even makes a difference this time I'm wanderer but some call me lost I'm wanderer but some call me lost And I'll probably be stranger when I see you You get on your way I’ll watch the back door You get on your way And bust down the front door Cause I'm hanging on all of your lines Like it even makes a difference this time I'm wanderer but some call me lost I'm wanderer but some call me lost And I'll probably be stranger when I see you Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...

Stars and Sandbars 05:23
lyrics
buy track
There were stars and sandbars at our feet We would climb on rooftops above the streets And gave out There were falls and mountains that led to streams We always said we would live among the trees And gaze out But we were stranded in-between And we didn't want to say we were dying inside That we were fighting for our lives We were holding, holding on Underneath a golden sun We were holding, holding on Underneath a golden sun Didn't you know Didn't you know We were somewhere in-between There were long drives and we didn't know We were given chances and we didn't show Come home now There were letters you sent and you wrote in code We had pictures made of places we'd go Please write now But we were stranded in-between And we didn't want to say we were dying inside That we were fighting for our lives We were holding, holding on Underneath a golden sun We were holding, holding on Underneath a golden sun

Summertime 04:59
lyrics
buy track
Old country roads that lead from the back of our house I'll pack our load and I'll take you out of this town Summer is filled with gold light as the stereo plays out We don't know where we'll roam but we'll take the scenic route Oh, and I'll be here for a thousand years Oh, and I'll be here- summer is drawing near Hey, hey Old wooden posts where you posed for photos I kept Paintings you sold in a town where we stopped to rest Winter's grown cold but I can still feel your warmth in our bed Words written in bold on a card that I found on my chest Oh, and I'll be here for a thousand years Oh, and I'll be here - summer is drawing near Do you feel my love? Does is it reach you far above? Do you hear my voice? Does it reach you through the noise when it rains and it storms? Summertime Summertime Oh, and why? Because I'm going to love you like I can Oh, and why? Love you more than I can stand Oh, and I'll be here for a thousand years Oh, and I'll be here - summer is drawing near Do you feel my love? Does is it reach you far above? Do you hear my voice? Does it reach you through the noise when it rains and it storms? Summertime

Forward 04:25
lyrics

I remember it well I remember it well I remember open roads Long drives we were alone I remember you called us roamers I remember it all I remember your taste Trace your legs up to your lips I remember you call it over I remember it all And the ground swallowed the sun at the end of the day And the galaxies rose at the end of the day So look forward and don't look back Not to the times we used to have Look forward and don't look back I know Oh yeah, I know I remember it well I remember it well And the ground swallowed the sun at the end of the day And the galaxies rose at the end of the day

It's quiet in the cabin As silent as you left it I would love it if you wanted I would say something if you want it As you can tell I'm not doing well Please don't blame yourself Cold night I drink Cold night I think of only you holding you Cold night I drink Cold night I think of only you holding you I believe that we can make it You know that it's worth the waiting I believe that we can make it I always miss you in the cold night Miss you in the cold night I can feel the winter cold I can feel it all I would love it if you wanted I would hold ya if you wanted I won't turn the heater on I would rather feel the cold Cold night I drink Cold night I think of only you holding you Cold night I drink Cold night I think of only you holding you I believe that we can make it You know that it's worth the waiting I believe that we can make it I always miss you in the cold night Miss you in the cold night

Summer light breaks on a London night You and I hide for the time With the lights on With the lights on Baby Morning light breaks and the city finds That nothing's changed in the night With the lights off With the lights off Yep And oh I just want to stay with you And oh We can play it all aloof Cause we don't have to go, no, no, no What lies outside, we already know, yeah, yeah We don't have to believe all those lies That say we have to go So let's stay in bed Why don't we just stay in bed C'mon let's stay in bed Why don't we just stay in bed Phone call, fake cough and you smile Your last sick day for awhile Turn the lights off Turn the lights off, baby Roll back, kiss your lips, and I sigh I am your acolyte With the lights on With the lights on Yep And oh I just want to stay with you And oh We can play it all aloof Cause we don't have to go, no, no, no What lies outside, we already know, yeah, yeah We don't have to believe all those lies That say we have to go So let's stay in bed Why don't we just stay in bed C'mon let's stay in bed Why don't we just stay in bed We don't have go, oh, oh No, we don't have to go, oh, oh No, we don't have to go, no And stay in bed Why don't we just stay in bed C'mon let's stay in bed Why don't we just stay in bed

Spark 04:49

I know our spark it will out burn our lifetime I just want to know where it goes I know that we will out shine the nighttime I just want to hold you close I just want to know where we'll go I know that when I wake up sometimes I roll over to kiss your nose I know that when we said goodbye the last time I looked back and left my home Looked back and left our home And I can't help from thinking we should stay a little bit longer And I can't help from thinking life is just a little bit sweeter with you And I can't help from thinking I know I can't forget our little pastimes All of your notes and memos I know that we were cut short of our time What to do now, God only knows I just want hold you close And I can't help from thinking we should stay a little bit longer And I can't help from thinking life is just a little bit sweeter with you And I can't help from thinking We've come too far We've come too close We've come too far We've come too close I know our spark it will out burn our lifetime I just want to know where it goes

Lost 05:18
lyrics

Slipping sideways dancing through the airport terminal Heavy helvetica, a pen, and paper that you wrote My heart's breaking without even reading a word that I own Sitting silently, slide out the paper, moving slow Wishes, what could haves, why didn'ts, and it hits home A spotlight shines light, do you remember ocean air Well, I do Oh, I was lost Oh, I was falling for ya Oh, What will it cost To see you in the end And to not be lost Weary wondering, we're walking in the moonlight Lovely laughter lingering and we sit side by side Never knowing and not caring we let time go by Now it hurts Sitting shuddering, there's something that we have to say Circumstances avoid chances and we played it safe The air feels cold, you sit alone, and you watch the waves And I'm here Oh, I was lost Oh, I was falling for ya Oh, What will it cost To see you in the end And to not be lost Oh, all alone Oh, all alone To see you in the end and to not be lost Oh, all alone To see you in the end and to not be lost Oh, I was lost Oh, I was falling for ya Oh, What will it cost To see you in the end And to not be lost

I Miss You 04:03
lyrics
buy track
I can't stop thinking about the time we had I can't stop thinking about how I want to go back Everything was effortless on the path with only us There were things I should have said There were things I should have done But oh dammit I walked away Oh dammit you walk away And I miss you And I miss you I would try hard to make our time last I would try hard to make you laugh But were good at holding it back Which in turn would make me laugh There were times we sat and stared We had nothing prepared No telling what a love would Oh no we couldn't change a thing And I miss you And I miss you We felt time slipping away But we didn't have the words to say As we stood in the driveway I held your hand And you held my hand Then we walked away There were things I should have said There were things I should have done But oh dammit I walked away Oh dammit you walk away And I miss you
