The Secret
03:55
|

|
I came across a fallen foe,
He said to me I love you, don’t you know
That everybody says these things,
The devil’s in my ear, he’s whispering
The world is full of many things,
That aim to drive you crazy till you sleep
So here we all are dancing mad,
We’re lunatics and now we can’t go back
So you look to me,
And you ask me do I know,
The secret of feeling whole
Well maybe I do
It’s in the way you hold your loved ones close
And how you show you care when no one knows
Or how you feel you brother’s pain,
To empathize and know we’re all the same
To look into your mother’s eyes,
And feel no shame for what you did last night
Breathe deep the air and know you’re true,
To everything you love, that’s dear to you
So you look to me,
And you ask me do I know,
The secret of feeling whole
Well maybe I do
To feel no pain
That’s no way
To spend your youth
Decisive blows
They will shape the
Who are you?
How whole are you?
So you look to me,
And you tell me that you know,
You only want to feel whole,
Well we all do

Weaker

I love her, and you love him
It was easier then, before we met
And though faith was promised to our loves
Somehow, one night it was just the two of us
And then you bite your lip
And you tell me to sit
Your hair’s in your face
So I brush it away
I know what I’m not
But your skin is so soft
The heat from your breath
Will push me over the edge
I’m weaker than I thought
I’m weaker than I thought
It’s torture now, from both sides
To not be with you, and to sell my lies
And she feels as I drift away
I try to end it with you, but every time I go to say
Chorus
If I could love you both
Split myself in two
We’d go our separate ways to find
I never loved you
But since we’re still in love
With the ones we held this from
We’ll try to keep this goin’
Pretend nothin’s gone wrong,
Cause nothing goes wrong
Chorus

I Will Take Care of You
03:53
|
|||
|
I find my thoughts are only ever with you
And every song I try to write speaks to you, too
You’ve said it once before, I bet you’re tired
But I could never back away until we’ve tried
I will deliver
If ever I’m allowed
I will deliver
I will take care of you
I’ll take care of you
Now that I know what it is to bide my time
So much deeper it will be to know you’re mine
After all the character who crowd our world
When they vanish you will be, you’ll be my girl
I will deliver
If ever I’m allowed
I will deliver
I will take care of you
I’ll take care of you

You Can Do That
03:58
|
|||
|
I’ll meet you on County Road.
Remember where the creek ends and green things grow.
Stargaze on the grass, feel the weeds between our toes.
We can do that.
I’ll hum cause you know the words,
To every single song that I’ve ever heard.
It’s strange because my knees go weak when you come close.
Well you can do that.
This chemistry, it’s hard to define.
But if it’s not my heart, then I’m losin’ my mind.
I can’t keep track of the days as they go.
I’m droppin’ everything like I’m playin’ hot potato.
It feels like Christmas day when I’m standing at your door.
I’m shaking to my soul, and you can do that.
You can do that, you can do that.
I hear the word across our town,
They say we’re so in love and we’re chapel bound,
But your eyes say that we’ll let them think that for now,
Well we can do that.
Cause you said that youth is for fun,
And finding yourself, and maybe your one,
Well we won’t worry for the future to come,
We can do that
This chemistry, it’s hard to define.
But if it’s not my heart, then I’m losin’ my mind.
I can’t keep track of the days as they go.
I’m droppin’ everything like I’m playin’ hot potato.
It feels like Christmas day when I’m standing at your door.
I’m shaking to my soul, and you can do that.
You can do that, you can do that.

In The Stars
03:08
|

|
If it were written in the stars
That your heart would break my heart
I’d find god’s mighty pen
And rewrite the stars again
For you and I to survive
To be with you every night
But I’m not what you want
And it kills me inside
I wish for you love
And a full heart
like you’ve given me
I wish for you love
And a full life
The stuff made of your dreams
So I sit back and I sing
Do you ever think of me
That I’m tortured and afraid
And I wake up each day
With your ghost at my side
She won’t let me feel alive
Just plays with my soul
And it makes me want to die
I wish for you love
And a full heart
like you’ve given me
I wish for you love
And a full life
The stuff made of your dreams
You know I’m puzzled and I’m hurt
That the best thing in my world
Can be gone just like that
My very favorite girl
I wish for you love
And a full heart
like you’ve given me
I wish for you love
And a full life
The stuff made of your dreams
It must be written in the stars
That your heart would break my heart

Need
03:47
|

|
Pause for me
Cause I’m in need
Of another reminder
Why we cannot be
Cause all that you said
We can work on it
I know it’s not perfect
But at least it’s not dead
Well you’re not easy
And you take what you want
That used to be me
But somehow that stopped
Everything’s gray and white
And I can’t go outside
Everybody will notice
And start asking why
I wish
That we never met
All this trouble I can’t lay to rest
And I wish
That we never met
From the moment I open my eyes
You’re all I see till night
Can’t you smell the disease
That’s comin from me
The smell of my heart-rot
Leaks out while I breath
So as long as you’re here
At the front my mind
I’ll say it’s not true
There’s no healing with time
I wish
That we never met
All this trouble I can’t lay to rest
And I wish
That we never met
From the moment I open my eyes
You’re all I see till night
It’s too much
To live without
Your love
So pause for me
Cause I’m in need

The Only
03:27
|
|||
|
Put your head on my chest
I need you to not forget
That every pounding beat
Speaks out to you from me
That you are
The only
That you are
My only
Remember when we first met
We had the same thing in our heads
That I’m a broken soul
And I’ve been waiting to let you know
That you are
The only
You are
My only
The only girl I’ll ever know
Who still looks sad when she smiles
The only girl I’ll ever need
Cause, oh my god when she smiles
Oh my god when she smiles
Put your head on my chest
We can wake up when we feel like it
And let’s kick off these sheets
The bed’s filled with our body heat
Cause you are
The only
You are
My only
Once we planned it all out
The future looks so much better now
We were both so young
Had no idea what we were runnin’ from
But you are
The only
You are
My only
The only girl I’ll ever know
Who still looks sad when she smiles
The only girl I’ll ever need
Cause, oh my god when she smiles
Oh my god when she smiles
Remember when we first met
We had the same thing in our heads
That we’re broken souls

The Songbird
03:21
|
|||
|
There’s a bird that sings his song
An aimless tune that wanders from dawn
‘Til he closes his eyes
Perched in their tree
Dreaming of his Melody
Sweet Melody
She is just another bird
But to him, she is his world
The reason that he sings
Who he longs to see
His long lost Melody
Sweet Melody
After three days since she’d gone
To look for things to build their home
His song began to change
It took a somber tone
He began to search alone
Hoping she would come back home
Mr. Davis drove his dusty road
Like he’d done so many times before
But then a little bird
Trying to get home
She made a mistaken turn
And some mistakes can’t be undone
The old farmer stopped his truck
He saw a small bird in the dust
And it hurt his heart
Knowing she was gone
Wishing it could all be undone
Wishing it could all be undone
So there’s a bird that sings his song
He doesn’t know another way to mourn
Still he’ll wait for her, he hopes she’s not alone
His Melody is gone
All that’s left is his song
His Melody is gone

The Silence
03:43
|

|
This is the moment
This is the hole in my heart
This is the memory
This is her world as it falls apart
And she still loves me
But I don’t deserve
She still loves me
That’s why it’s gonna get worse
Oh, how happy things are
When they first align
You learn all of my secrets
I tell you that we’ll be fine
You whisper in my ear
That you’re falling in love
Then I think to my self this is what disasters’ made of
Black hearts don’t lie
They save the truth for the last
When she sees light
I see what will be in the past
And for the record
So it was, and so it is
The silence
That broke her heart
We’re sitting in the driveway
And she can feel
As I pull away
And I tell her this wasn’t real
We’ve got some good memories
So lets leave it at that
She got out of my car
And she never came back
And the reasons stay the same
For why I need you most everyday
But the depth of what I feel
Does compare to what is worthy of you
This is the moment
This is the hole in my heart
This is the memory
This is her world as it falls apart
And she still loves me
But I don’t deserve
She still loves me

I Will Remember
04:28
|
|||
|
I’m in that moment of sadness when it’s all over
Oh, how beautiful it’s been
You say that you want it to start all over
To re-live it all again
But time is a bastard and he’s a bully
And he only takes away
Our moments and memories set to fire
On nostalgic empty days
And I will remember
How it felt to live
To be the lucky ones
To share with you like this
And I will remember
How it felt to be
A part of everything
That mattered to me
I am a remnant, I am the product
Of a nearly fatal past
The reaper will tell you that I’ve been wild
And I’ll be worthy of my death
You are a dreamer, and a bit of schemer
Looking for the easy way
Hoping to land us both in twilight
In the thick of happier days
And I will remember
How it felt to live
To be the lucky ones
To share with you like this
And I will remember
How it felt to be
A part of everything
That mattered to me
We’re in that moment of sadness when it’s all over
And the emptiness begins
A space in my chest has opened up now
And I’m forgetting all of this
But I will remember
How it felt to live
To be the lucky ones
To share with you like this
And I will remember
How it felt to be
A part of everything
That mattered to me

The Neighbor Kid
03:03
|
|||
|
They hung the neighbor kid last night
For foolin’ with the preacher’s wife
It seems some men grow angry at the thought
At losin’ what they think to own
Another woman and her soul
And if you ask it’s sanctioned by the law
This neighbor kid was not so tough
In fact all he wanted was to feel loved
A feeling that he wasn’t raised to know
Across the chapel every week
Her soft blue eyes and cherry cheeks
Was all the preachin’ needed to fill his soul
A dangerous thing to have around
Is an angry woman, bitter and proud
She thought the preacher man should dearly pay
And knowing how the poor boy felt
She had him over and under her spell
Seduced the neighbor kid and sealed his fate
The preacher man came walkin’ in
With two other men, who were her kin
And panicked she abandoned her resolve
Said he had forced himself on her
In the preacher’s home, before the Lord
And all his contestations were ignored
Standin’ on the platform
With a noose around his neck
They asked him if he’d anything to say
With weakened voice and tear-filled eyes
He said, “I’m too young, I don’t want to die
Still haven’t found the love I’m searchin’ for”
They hung the neighbor kid last night
For foolin’ with the preacher’s wife
It seems some men grow angry at the thought
