Lighthouse
04:48
|
|||
He's a private man to those who know him
Keeps his feelings under waves, holding his breath
She feels caught beneath the tide churning inside him
When he looks at her she sinks into his depths
He's a fisherman, spending months away, tending to the sea
His hands are coarse from ropes and waves that beat back violently
When the tide subsides and brings him to her harbor once again
She feels adrift seeing the light behind his eyes is growing dim
She says sail back out to sea
or stay, just stay with me
and I will be your lighthouse, seek shelter in me
I will be your lighthouse, I will be your lighthouse
She keeps a log of all the traumas she's had to endure
It's getting so long now she wonders if it's still worth keeping score
She asks him could he be the cure that she's been looking for
He says broken can't save broken, I can't help you anymore
I can't help you anymore
Her bed rocks above the breakers as he holds her to his chest
Ocean air sighs through the window as the whitecaps reach the crest
And the life raft that she clings to feels so far away from shore
He says broken can't save broken, I can't help you anymore
I can't help you
She says sail back out to sea
or stay, just stay with me
and I will be your lighthouse, seek shelter in me
I will be your lighthouse, I will be your lighthouse
Some folks dream of mountain ranges, others dream of forests deep
She's been tossed across the shallows, she's been tossing in her sleep
He's an island off the continent, far from her widow's walk
She's a ghost inside his memory, she's a siren in the fog
She says sail back out to sea
or stay, just stay with me
and I will be your lighthouse, seek shelter in me
I will be your lighthouse, I will be your lighthouse

Come Back To The Living
04:44
|
|||
I’ve been looking for help
I’ve been looking for fun
I’ve been looking to see where the next hit will be coming from
I’ve been looking for God
among the hometown fools
Got my back to the river but the fires are burning through
And if you see the sunlight tearing a scar in your room
and you hear the sirens call out, they’ve been looking for you
When the needle and thread that you keep in your head show the stitching is coming loose
there’s a place where the faces of friends and lost loves can be found, still smiling at you
Come back, boy, come back to the living
There’s a crack in the wall
There’s a hole in the door
There’s a look on my mother’s face I’ve never seen before
It’s a shot in the dark
It’s a homecoming scene
There are lies that we tell in the night just to hold back the screams
We had dreams that our earthbound souls could fly
with our hearts on the ground but our eyes to the sky
But the devil creeps quiet, sneaking up from behind…
We let him in
You’ve been looking for me
I’m a terrible sight
But the bells have been rung and the last song is sung for the fight
I’ve been looking for love
that can be so forgiving
I’ve been looking for someone to tell me come back to the living
And if you see the sunlight tearing a scar in your room
and you hear the sirens call out, they’ve been looking for you
When the needle and thread that you keep in your head show the stitching is coming loose
there’s a place where the faces of friends and lost loves can be found, still smiling at you
Come back, boy, come back to the living

Ghost
03:22
|
|||
Another night alone at home
waiting to feel inspired
I've been writing songs like liars
boasting what they might have been
I don't say much on the phone
There's a weight over the wire
I'm the coward I require
I'm the same I've always been
And when you rise to meet me
at the last edge of the coast
Will I give all myself gladly,
will you only see my ghost?
In the mirror stands the sculptor
staring at a block of clay
How much can I carve away
before there's nothing left
These old chords are bound by memories
but they change each time I play
like I'm changing every day
until there's nothing left
And when you rise to meet me
at the last edge of the coast
Will I give all myself gladly,
will you only see my ghost?
Come now, we're searching for our calling,
all desperate for belonging
Hold fast, take comfort in the moments,
the calming of contentment, just be here
Words drip out like skipping records
spinning years and years before
It's getting harder to ignore
the silence in the space
Skipping stones still find the lakebed
and I know you know the score,
that the best all came before
Now there's silence in the space
And when you rise to meet me
at the last edge of the coast
Will I give all myself gladly,
will you only see my ghost?

Greatest Fear
04:18
|
|||
My greatest fear is knowing I might never love again
Each day that feeling seems further away
For all the lies I’ve told,
the broken hearts I stole
when I was lost alone inside my pain
And I know there's a goodness in your best intentions
I know that you give me all your sincerest attentions
But I don't know if you can sense my lonesome apprehension
and don't love you
and I won't be able to this time
I know how it sounds, I can hear it on my tongue
It's not quite black and white as it may seem
I respect and I see you
Life is better when you're here too
But I find myself alone inside my dreams
And I know there's a comfort in my arms around you
I know the look in your eyes when you think I’ve found you
But I know if you stay, I'm just a weight, I'll drown you
and I don't love you
and I won't be able to this time
Oh, my soul
This heart should feel more whole
Who am I to be so blessed
Down the road
unwind the life I know
When will I rest
I know you've been hurt before, I know you are worth much more,
I know you want to build a better way
I won't force you to go
I just needed you to know
this foundation will only sink into decay
My greatest fear is knowing I might never love again
Each day I feel myself growing apart
But once or twice before
love was knocking at my door
I hope in time I’ll heal my wasted heart

Alone, At Last
05:20
|
|||
I feel a lightness now
looking up or looking down
All eyes on me, but I'm alone
at last
When I catch my breath
the vastness of this cold expanse
I feel your light, but I'm alone
at last
Strangers here
the new frontier beyond the familiar
where even seconds ticking lose their meaning through the distance
Strangers here
when we appear beyond the familiar
send our signals soaring, past lives pouring, through the distance
And now I see the ground
I feel the weight of touching down
take in the unseen night alone
at last
Now I'll build a home
the first step toward what we'll become
The dawning sun and I'm alone
at last
Strangers here
the new frontier beyond the familiar
where even seconds ticking lose their meaning through the distance
Strangers here
when we appear beyond the familiar
send our signals soaring, past lives pouring, through the distance
Strangers here
the new frontier beyond the familiar
where even seconds ticking lose their meaning through the distance
Strangers here
when we appear beyond the familiar
send our signals soaring, past lives pouring, through the distance
I feel a lightness now
looking up or looking down

Carry Me
04:22
|
|||
The twilight's falling faster than I recall before
There's ice out on the on-ramp, frost claws against the door
There's beauty where we left it, tired, dragged across the floor
Tried picking up the pieces, they don't fit us anymore
I still keep your letters in my glovebox on the road
Though I can't bear to read them, I can't seem to let you go
There’s beauty in the vast and empty highway river flows
The life between goodbye and holding on is all I know
You were just a roadside stop
where I could rest my heart a while
But the sun is sinking down, down, down
so you watch me drive on by
The hum of city lights, the sky above of the plains
I leave the bad behind and make some sense of what remains
There’s beauty in the Midwest towns that time forgot to take
Carry me to destiny while my heart is still awake
Chorus
You were just a roadside stop
where I could rest my heart a while
But the sun is sinking down, down, down
so you watch me drive on by
Settling down's another way to talk of settling
At night I think about the past, our life that might have been
There’s beauty in forgiveness, time heals us all in waves
Carry me to destiny, some things we cannot save
You were just a roadside stop
where I could rest my heart a while
But the sun is sinking down, down, down
so you watch me drive on by

Beneath The Stars
03:13
|
|||
It's a long walk back to the starting line
Pull back the years, pull back the crimes
It's a broken road between yours and mine
Our light is fading
My compass is lost and I’m
stumbling along. There's a
wail in the wind and it's
howling my song. At the
end of my rope, when the
night falls at last,
wrapped in all of my sins,
painted dark with my past
Wash me clean beneath the stars
Wash me clean beneath the stars
It's a long road back from your broken heart
The days alone, the nights apart
It's a broken hope, but it's still alive
and it's worth saving
You return to yourself and you
see your life clear. There's a
wail in the wind and it's
howling your fears. There's
a story to write
of the one you'd once been, when you
own your mistakes,
when you wash your soul clean
Wash me clean beneath the stars
Wash me clean beneath the stars

Come Back Home
03:22
|
|||
Come on out to the country, it's a beautiful night
I'll trade you the stars in the sky for those cold city lights
It's been a long time coming but now I can be by your side
No more waiting, we're not getting young
Hesitating, it's time that we won
So come back home
We've been out catching dreams, memories, but it's not been enough
But your smile when you’re by my side keeps on filling my cup
You're the notes to a song I've been writing for years
When I close my eyes it's your voice that I hear
You're the soft summer breeze through the tallgrass you're gliding above
Pre-chorus
No more waiting, we're not getting young
Hesitating, it's time that we won
So come back home
Come back home
You're sunlight in the window when day starts anew
I have more than I've dreamed when I'm dreaming with you
You're the warmth of our home in the winter that carries me through
Come on out to the country, it's a beautiful night
I'll trade you the stars in the sky for those cold city lights
It's been a long time coming but now I can be by your side
No more waiting, we're not getting young
Hesitating, it's time that we won
So come back home

If You Can
03:16
|
|||
Hear me
I need to tell you I'm sorry
I won't be able to love you
the way that you love me now
I've been searching
and my hands have been shaking
and I'm making a mess of the rest of the days that are passing us by
Call me selfish
Call me broken
Just a wish that won't come true
I'm the silence
in the echo
I'm the dream you're passing through
Hear me
I need to tell you I'm sorry
I won't be able to love you
the way that you love me now
I've been aching
just to feel what you're feeling
and each time leaves me stealing more of your nights that are passing us by
Call me selfish
Call me broken
Just a wish that won't come true
I'm the silence
in the echo
I'm the dream you're passing through
If you can, forgive me
Call me selfish (All spellbound)
call me broken (All heartbreak)
Just a wish that won't come true (All bitter truth)
I'm the silence (All lost cause)
in the echo (All heartbreak)
I'm the dream you're passing through (I'll think of you)
If you can, forgive me
