Somewhere between make believe and turning 19
learned fast to pocket every dream
traded it for what I could get
a pay stub and bedroom set
this soul, a silhouette
but I have got a feeling
can’t see the ceiling
over my head
I’m ready
make my hands steady
walking a wire so high off the ground
call my name I’ll follow the sound
i’m ready
when I can’t move
let some wild hope shoulder through
carve a road I can step onto
i set my own trip wire
gasoline on a brush fire
if I don’t try
than I am a liar
but I have got a feeling
can’t see the ceiling
over my head
I’m ready
make my hands steady
walking a wire so high off the ground
call my name I’ll follow the sound
i ready
If these words carry weight
carry me when I hesitate
I have got a feeling
I have got a feeling
I have got a feeling
can’t see the ceiling
over my head
I’m ready
make my hands steady
walking a wire so high off the ground
call my name I’ll follow the sound
i’m ready

Calling Your Name
05:05
|

|
calling calling calling his name
need a friend in a real bad way
outnumbered by fears and caught in barbwire
elisha elisha bring your chariots of fire
calling calling calling her name
I need a mother in a real bad way
I’ve known a hand that has meant me harm
mary mary, wrap me in your loving arms
no one’s to blame for being lonely
no ones to blame for getting lost
i’m so far from anything holy
I’ll just send my prayer up and hope it gets caught
calling calling calling your name
I need a lover in a real bad way
i was too young to foolish to slow
oh lover oh lover, lets give this another go
no one’s to blame for being lonely
no ones to blame for getting lost
i’m so far from anything holy
I’ll just send my prayer up and hope it gets caught
I’ll just send my prayer up and hope it dont get lost

Everytime I Go
04:11
|

|
Everytime I leave
Feel like I am free falling, real slow
my stomach in the sky, in my heart a battle cry
yes, you have won me over
Everytime I go
I give my heart to you
to keep you from the cold
and whisper one truth, that nothing
could keep my love from you
When you cannot hear
me whisper in your ear, that you are my lucky star
and the bully in your mind, saying words unkind so loud
that you start to hear him
Everytime I go
I give my heart to you
to keep you from the cold
and whisper one truth, that nothing
could keep my love from you
give a kiss, please another
who grants the wish
to stay forever.... in my arms, in my arms, in my arms
Everytime I go
I give my heart to you
to keep you from the cold
and whisper one truth,
that nothing
could keep my love from you

Once my love was a band
And you were the kickdrum
Jumpstart my heart
and we'd start to run
Didn't care, we were so young.
We tried so hard
To play all the right parts
With our hands full of false starts
Til the downbeat dragged us apart.
I hear it and then it’s gone
melodies haunts me
shakes it’s chains and leads me on
and endless marathon
i lose my breathe chasing shadows
of a song..
Wish love would join the bands
that i’ve been playing in
these songs are wearing me thin
can i start over again?
I hear it and then it’s gone
melodies haunts me
shakes it’s chains and leads me on
and endless marathon
i lose my breathe chasing shadows
of a song..
Then your love broke the bands
that tied me to the ground/pain
never asked me to explain
I found I could finally breathe again
I hear it and then it’s gone
melodies haunts me
shakes it’s chains and leads me on
and endless marathon
i lose my breathe chasing shadows
of a song..

One Mistake
04:04
|
|||
|
never knew this one mistake
would be the one
to make you hit your brakes
I’d prefer if you would yell
we both know that silence can kill
I felt you, I felt you, I felt you pull away
i saw it, i saw it, i saw your eyes stray
one false move
and i cut the tie and you
are floating away
the night you knelt and I said yes
the falling stars were our only witness
our bed as wide as a great sea
your cold current breaks against me
pours over washes over
sleep on
sleep on it tonight
I'll keep, I'll keep watch
for any sign
that we’ll be fine
cause I’m never gonna let you,
never gonna let you go
I felt you I felt you I felt you reach for me
I saw it I saw it I saw your eyes say
that your never gonna let me
never gonna let me go
your never gonna let me
never gonna let me go

Be My Middle Ground
03:16

|
got a head of ideas
they’re mixing around
till they take shape in the floating clouds
its a day in july
your back on the grass
look up you might see me float past
chorus
i’m sailing with the sparrows
or i’m sinking with every stone
could you be my middle ground babe
because I never stay level for long.
it takes less and less
lately
for the shadows to find me
when I hear your voice
it lets in the light
please keep talking tonight
chorus
i’m sailing with the sparrows
or i’m sinking with every stone
could you be my middle ground babe
because I never stay level for long.
Bridge
I’m tethered to the wind
it’s always a surprise when you come rollin in
but you didn’t complain when I first took you for a ride
I’m tethered to the wind
it’s always a surprise when you come rollin in
but you didn’t complain when I first took you for a ride
I need you by my side
chorus
i’m sailing with the sparrows
or i’m sinking with every stone
could you be my middle ground babe
because I never stay level for long.

Don't Bury Me
04:47

I aint got a bill in my wallet
but i’ve got a lot of land
hell i don’t even got a passport
but I’m not gonna waste my time,
about those old plans
when they lay me down in a box
please sail me out to sea
i’ve spent all my life being tied to this land
please don’t bury me.
My granddad worked the fishing rigs
and his daddy before him
after 3 months sick traveling to a new life
my father swore he’d never be near ocean again.
before the world had her way with me
when i still dared to believe
I saw my hands pulling up those nets
pulling in the part always missing from me
when they lay me down in a box
please sail me out to sea
i’ve spent all my life being tied to this land
please don’t bury me.
still in my dreams the ocean comes and carries me
i can hear her say ‘someday’ ‘someday’
her eyes were the color of dry fields
we worked the land hand in glove
I planted my life in her love or I planted my life on solid ground
easier to leave an old idea, for one I could taste, and touch, in this new love
STILL when they lay me down in a box
please sail me out to sea
i’ve spent all my life being tied to this land
please don’t bury me.

Staying Behind
05:19
|
|||
|
never asked to be the one here standing
guarding your door
I can hear your demons howling
I know who they’re crying for
never asked to be the one saving secrets
like they were my own
I’m done trading time for nothing
I wanna stand alone
chorus
thought I was holding you up
turns out I was waiting around to be loved
hoping to feel just once like I was good enough
i’ve made up my mind
i’m staying behind
you try just enough to say you tried
no trust in your heart
the size of your fear rivals your pride
so you never really start
I thought if I crossed your state line
you would come to my show
but your dream is dying so you won’t see mine
I’ll stop asking you to go
chorus
thought I was holding you up
turns out I was waiting around to be loved
hoping to feel just once like I was good enough
i’ve made up my mind
i’m staying behind
loneliness came right on schedule
quiet settled in
I heard my heart faint at first
start beating again
chorus
thought I was holding you up
turns out I was waiting around to be loved
hoping to feel just once like I was good enough
i’ve made up my mind
i’m staying behind

Holiday

Holiday, Oh a holiday
I declare a holiday
I have been oceans away
but i’m coming home today ohhhhhhhhh
got on a big plane
crossed a bigger ocean
you couldn’t come this time
so I left my heart behind
the land of the queen
had rolling hills of green
without you by my side
the beauty just passed me by
Holiday, Oh a holiday
I declare a holiday
I have been oceans away
but i’m coming home today ohhhhhhhhh
From right where I stand
I can see ireland
I watch the waves roll by
they are the color of your eyes
starts as a dull ache
then a feeling I can’t shake
it spreads until I’m quite sure
that there is only one found cure
Holiday, Oh a holiday
I declare a holiday
I have been oceans away
but i’m coming home today ohhhhhhhhh
every sunrise brings a surprise to your young eyes, be my guide
gaze at stars, jump railroad cars, be an opera star, all in our backyard
We don’t have to travel far
got back on a big plane
crossed a bigger ocean
I wear my red letter dress
for you only my best
it’s time to celebrate
our new found holiday
strings the lights have pillow fights
we are staying up tonight.
Holiday, Oh a holiday
I declare a holiday
I have been oceans away
but i’m finally home today ohhhhhhhhh

Texas

the first kiss
the one you've waited for the longest
he's been stealing glances
hope this means he'll make advances
no I will not forget
the summertime in Texas
the Guadelupe
has seen it's fair share
of indians and cowboys
one kiss can not compare
no I will not forget
the summertime in Texas
Texas, hey hey, Texas in the summer
the biggest, hey hey, secret that I know
everyone leaves Texas in the summer
leaving lonestar all to my own
he taught the taste of summer
in a roadside peach
we spent my last night on the dance floor
don't think I ever felt my feet
no I will not forget
