Folk Song Melody

there is grace in how you choose
which memories to lose
like the curl of your lips
and your finger tips
there's so much that's made
this old wood frame hang new
but i got lucky alright
it was never gonna be my life
you can't be free until you're ready
i got lucky you see
it was never going to be me
now i see it unfold like a folk song melody
there is skill in how you fight
to keep living towards the light
you can never change someone
but you can change your reaction
and so this day's defeated
and we retreat to night
but i got lucky alright
it was never gonna be my life
you can't be free until you're ready
i got lucky you see
it was never going to be me
now i see it unfold like a folk song melody

Tunnel Vision

strong will
i know it well
tunnel vision
can take you through hell
we got a little off track, we got back
in the belly of the flame
lie the pieces i lack
you were running from the outside
running toward the finish line
i was betting on the other side
you were giving it all you've got
giving up your whole life
i was betting on the other side
friend i know you good
tell your secrets, no, i never would
there was a little lost pact
still intact
it's just a glimmer in your sight
(as we're) fading to black
BRIDGE:
dance, arms open wide
with the moon's spotlight in your eye
and we're movin, around and around

Sum of Our Lives
03:32
|

|
soft spoken spring
whispers graciously
thank you for a new beginning
a second chance on what we started
break from the broken hearted
we're more than the sum of our lives
cower at the face of regret
i wanna be the ones who make it
we're more than the sum of our lives
i could let it be
i could set us free
but it's never that easy
our names carved in the pavement
and all the marks we haven't made yet
they're more than the sum of our lives
all that we anticipated
what we already created
it's more than the sum of our lives
constance of night
tireless sea
comes steady thankfully
a second chance on what we started
break from the broken hearted
we're more than the sum of our lives
cower at the face of regret
i wanna be the ones who make it
we're more than the sum of our lives

Something About Knowing
03:52

i got you i got me
i heard the sweetest voice call me mommy
got my old 5 string
i've got everything
and there's something about knowing
where the love will go
there's something about knowing
where the north wind blows
i've got a longleaf pine tree
got a dog named Buddy
my Revolver LP
i got everything
there's something about knowing
where the love comes from
there's something about knowing
when the pink moon comes
be like my brother
keep us laughing through the night
and words from my mother
say put in what you want from this life
i've got my list
of things that i will forever miss
in these melodies
i got my my loving memories
there's something about knowing
where the luck comes from
there's something about knowing
where it was all along
shine like my sister
another breaking light
drift like my father
on the oceans' reckless tide for a while
[time after we go
it’s an open ended night
take what we have here
tend it and hold it tight
i got you i got me
i heard the sweetest voice call me mommy
i got everything
i got everything

This Is It

button up your suit
straighten your tie
hide those tattoos
how did this life become mine
you call me on the phone
i can't breathe with these doubts
come with me if you want
cause i'm getting out
we were living on a straight line
now we're out of control
we were living on a straight line
feeling so old
how do we exist
lost in this spin
we were waiting for the right time
now this is it
now we're livin on a dime
so turn on your charm
turn off the sun
toss out the alarm
write your friend back home
it was a matter of time
maybe it was wrong
but i feel so ALIVE
we were living on a straight line
now we're out of control
we were living on a straight line
we were feeling so old
if we run out of gas
this aint meant to last
waitin for the right time
it's now at last
we’re not getting older tonight
we are taking in the new love
watch the sky turn to gold
with every new direction
there's a story untold
there's a bed by the water
maybe this could be home
we'll live together
and we'll never be alone alone alone
our hands intertwining
like the braids in my hair
we were waiting for the right time
now it's here

Saturday in June

lets go back where the foothills overlook the emerald sea
where the city lights will sparkle as far as your eyes see
let's go back
let's go back to the sun
let's go back where your wildest thoughts are sitting at arms reach
where every day is a new beginning
let's go back
let's go back to the sun
we've got just one life
so let's leave tonight
let's go back where open sign is turned off til noon
where any day is a saturday in june
so let's go back
let's go back to the sun
the new year’s begun
so let’s go back to the sun
we've got just one life
so let's leave tonight
mark it off the list you make
to do before you die
i want to show you things that will open up your eyes
let's go back where temptation is the night's forewarning
where you wake dusted off by the early morning breeze
let's go back
let's go back to the sun
the new year’s begun
so let’s go back to the sun

A Lullaby for You
03:53

all the stars, the moon, the sky
flowered fields and butterflies
well it's not enough for you
love of mine
all the sunsets heading west
all the cities dressed their best
well it's not enough for you
love of mine
once, i had tried to feel something, oh i tried
then you opened my eyes and i feel everything
of all the breath, the space, and time
dream filled days and nights combined
well it's not enough for you
love of mine
fairy tales, sweet surprise
morning songs and lullabies
well they're not enough for you
love of mine
once, i had tried to feel something, oh i tried
then you opened my eyes and i feel everything
you are everything
