And The World 04:21
lyrics
buy track
Hawk of a man with a bill in his hand Sucking all the good seed out of the land And the world goes round Chopping down trees in the dirty breeze Dropping down a deep freeze overseas And the world goes round And I’m in love I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love And I want to stay alive Want my children’s children to survive Peeping Tom with a CDRom Learning how to make his own atomic bomb And the world goes round Chat is at an all time high today Still nobody knows exactly what to say And the world goes round And I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love You say the sun is a she I must say indeed I do agree Giving all the light she can She’s too warm to be a man You say the earth’s her sister I want the men who’ve twisted her She’ll still be coming around long after they’re all in the ground And the world goes round And I’m in love I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love And I don’t care if it’s naïve to give your heart and still believe in love Awed by the size of a baby’s eyes She smiled at her daddy and he’s hypnotized And the world goes round Bigger than a name, bigger than the game Bigger than the bang from which everything came And the world goes round And I'm in love

Archeology 04:29
lyrics
buy track
Chasing after sunsets To feel something again Naked in a rainstorm Worthy of your skin Souls split apart at birth Opposites attract Faith is a feeling love is a fact And love won’t always be just archeology There’s magic in that stone that holds the sword Someday someone will see Till then take it from me Your love will always be its own reward You thought that rock you found Was a rare and precious jewel You took it into town They said you were a fool Hands callous and raw Digging on the next All that you uncovered was a dirty worthless text But love won’t always be just archeology So much inside of you to be adored Someday someone will see Till then take it from me Your love will always be its own reward Ooh to be so trusting What a beautiful thing Don’t you give it away too quickly Even if he resembles a king ‘Cause you’ll know in your bones When it’s the one who’s worth the ring And love won’t always be just archeology There’s magic in that stone that holds the sword Someday someone will see Till then take it from me Your love will always be its own reward Your love will always be its own reward Your love will always be its own reward Chasing after sunsets To feel something again Naked in a rainstorm Worthy of your skin

Beautiful Way 03:21
lyrics
buy track
I never met anyone like you You’ve got a smile for everyone but also a tear You never talk down Even when you’re joking or messing around There’s never a time that you’re ever unkind Trying to do something good in the ocean Trying not to only makes you laugh more And a head full of clouds slips away to the sea Now we’re down on the boardwalk And we’re whirling around on the rides And we’re walking along and they’re still singing the songs That we used to sing all those nights down at The Riptides I remember those days How I almost let you get away But you shouldered the pain and a head full of rain Never turned your back on me You’ve got a beautiful way You’ve got a beautiful way about you You’ve got a beautiful way You do I never met anyone like you Oh no You’ve got a smile for everyone but also a tear You never talk down Even when we’re joking or messing around There’s never a time that you’re ever unkind Trying to do something good in the ocean Trying not to only makes you laugh more And a heart bound with chains breaks away and I’m free Because your kiss on my mouth is what’s turning the key You’ve got a beautiful way You’ve got a beautiful way about you You’ve got a beautiful way You do You’ve got a beautiful way You’ve got a beautiful way about you You’ve got a beautiful way You do I never met anyone like you I never met anyone like you

Don't Look Back 03:55
lyrics

There’s a river outside this cabin rolling through the woods I figured heading north for mountain air might do some good And it did ‘cause there’s a clarity I’ve never had before I can see the road in front of me I don’t look back no more Let me be just like that river Flowing right outside my door And the sunrise will deliver me I don’t look back no more The past don’t owe me nothin’ and regrets just weigh a ton What’s the use in stressin’ over somethin’ said and done? I’m swinging in the moment and I’ll play it where it lands The future’s still unwritten but the present’s in my hands Not too much left here now to bank on Still one thing I know for sure Sister all has been forgiven I don’t look back no more Sunrise, deliver me I’m a river to the sea I’m a phoenix eagle flying I’m a newborn baby crying I’m the dawn of a new day rising over the line of a blue horizon I’m the light from a distant sun I’m a journey just begun On my way and feeling fine All I’m taking is what’s mine I’m gonna be just like that river Streaming onward evermore And each sunrise will deliver me I ain't looking back no more Ain’t gonna be like my friend Edith when she left Sodom and Gomorrah Wasn’t nobody’s fault Woman just turned to salt I ain’t looking back no more Sunrise, deliver me I’m a river to the sea I’m a phoenix eagle flying I’m a newborn baby crying I’m the dawn of a new day rising over the line of a blue horizon I’m the light from a distant sun I’m a journey just begun On my way and feeling fine All I’m taking is what’s mine

Don't Worry 02:34
lyrics
buy track
Was the stage too high to climb? Did all the bills go out on time? Was the dream not deep enough? You know you don’t sleep enough So what you didn’t get there first Still hung up on what they say You should be thinking with your heart But your big head’s in the way Don’t worry about it so much Don’t worry about it so much All your life you’re in a hurry Out of breath from all that worry All it’s gonna do is burn a hole inside of you You don’t have to beat yourself up Trying to be somebody else You’re good enough Don’t worry about it so much Was the joke above your head? Are they still mad at what you said? You’re so afraid they think the worst You throw your meanest punch line first Don’t worry about it so much Don’t worry about it so much All your life you end up sorry Sick to death from all that worry When all it’s gonna do is burn a hole inside of you You don’t have to beat yourself up Trying to be somebody else You’re good enough Don't worry about it so much

Doormat 02:41
lyrics

Everything I do in this place feels like a mistake Maybe I should run away Would you miss me if I did? Would you miss me if I hid like a kid in a corner of your mind? Everything I say rubs the wrong way Maybe I should learn to talk like you Would you kiss me if I did? Would you love my mouth if you heard your phrases coming through my lips? Well I’m not doing it I’m not going to talk like you Your words aren’t few but they don’t mean a thing to me And I’m not going to talk like them Your friends, since when did they know anything anyway? Maybe I should try some reverse psychology and pack my bags Would you fall in love again? Would you want me back if I said I would rather just be friends? Maybe you should start thinking about All the things you’ll miss when I am gone You can’t touch that far away You won’t be gratified when there’s no one to let you have your way ‘Cause I’m not doing it I’m not going to be your mat F that! I’m not doing it And I’m not going to talk like you Your words aren’t true but they don’t mean a thing to me And I’m not going to talk like them Your friends, since when did they know anything anyway? Hey!

How You Love 03:52
lyrics

Make ‘em all feel like this is it Wrapped around your finger They think you’re never gonna quit Give ‘em everything you’ve got until there’s nothing left Learned it from your mama Set a trap inside my chest Isn’t it grand? Isn’t it great? Left me here alone with myself and I’m waiting For the promise of a future that I see is now fading You’re on to something new and I can’t believe I’m hating how you love Hating how you love Said that you were my girl Was it ever even true? In trade for giving me a whirl I laid it bare in front of you Healed every scar I had Fixed the damage that was done Kicked me to the curb now So I guess I’m not the one Isn’t it grand? Isn’t it great? Left me here alone with myself and I’m waiting For the promise of a future that I see is now fading You’re on to something new and I can’t believe I’m hating how you love Hating how you love I’ll tell you one thing my dear He better never come around here Isn’t it grand? Isn’t it great? Left me here alone with myself and I’m waiting For the promise of a future that I see is now fading You’re on to something new and I can’t believe Someone else is having you and I can’t believe I thought that it was true, now I can’t believe I’m hating how you love Hating how you love Hating how you love

Letter To Ex 03:23
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes at night I wonder where you are Turn out the light Walk out to the stars Are you living right driving ‘round in some fancy car? Tell me how are you doing In your new way of life It’s hard to imagine you’re someone else’s wife I guess I don’t understand it It just didn’t work out for me and you It’s true babe Oh I reminisce ‘Bout the times that we had The simple kiss Was enchanting Was enhancing Yeah Sometimes at night I wonder where you are Turn out the light Walk out to the stars Are you living right driving ‘round in some fancy car?

Roses 03:16
lyrics

My black and white Don't make your shade of gray Won't stop me painting either way everyday And if it's all so simple Tell me how’d it take three hours To drive that truck three miles up the road? Roses for no reason Breakfast in the bed Kisses in the kitchen Staying home instead Walking by the water Talking that’ll last Roses for no reason Is that too much to ask? That stranger in your eyes Well he had too much to drink It still compromises you No matter what you think Yeah I'm still in love Where does that leave me? Mean to you and screaming through the glass Roses for no reason Breakfast in the bed Kisses in the kitchen Staying home instead Walking by the water Talking that’ll last Roses for no reason Roses for no reason I want roses for no reason Not too much to ask My black and white don’t make your shade of grey

Shine A Little 04:02
lyrics

Call me up and suddenly You shine a little light on me I’m silhouetted by the TV Dark and black and white and starry This memory seems to stick Where’d you get the ‘bility To open up and set me free? I’m happily lost in tranquility Dark and black and white and kissing This memory dreams so thick Shine a little light Who gave you the power? Who taught you the key To call in my darkest hour and shine a little light on me? Shine a little light Who gave you the power? The crystalline ability To call in my darker hours and shine a little Shine a little light Shine a little light on me Call me up and suddenly Your human electricity is totally encircling me If I ever fear the missing Your lips are who I’d call for Shine a little light Who gave you the power? Who taught you the key To call in my darkest hour and shine a little light on me? Shine a little light Who gave you the power? The crystalline ability To call in my darker hours and shine a little Shine a little light Shine a little light on me Watch my life sink into storms I’m filling out these stupid forms And told I have to fit the norm It’s cold here love I need some warm Shine a little light Who gave you the power? Who taught you the key To call in my darkest hour and shine a little light on me? Shine a little light Who gave you the power? The crystalline ability To call in my darker hours and shine a little Shine a little light Shine a little light on me

Still Dark 04:23
lyrics

Does that song make you think of me? Do the words play on your heart? When you sing along do you ever long For all our time and all our love? Taking care of your mind and body Has never been easy for you All this time we’re taking apart Is breaking this heart I can’t give to someone new Last night I saw you The lake frozen over Your eyes still glassy with moonshine Bruises you’re listing Truths you keep twisting Proudly insisting that you’re fine You’ll be the star on your new guitar Play them The Wall again No one will know who you are (in your heart) You’re still dark Has that house on the lake made you happy yet? Is it better now that he’s home? Did it make you a kid again? Feel like you’re fitting in? Why’d you just tell me you’re so alone? It felt like that song made you think of me As you played for all of our friends Yes it said he would let her in if she came back to him You look away again when it ends Turn off the light now Keep the lake frozen How deep do you drill till you drown there? There’s nothing like you and me Search the entire sea Only more space to be found there Your new guitar My broken heart Will always be haunting me knowing wherever you are You’re still dark
