One Good Reason
03:28
|
|||
|
maybe someday I'm gonna let go
of the feeling there's shadow I'll see when I get home
out here every nights a weekend
it ain't hard to find a best friend
so why am I so alone?
I thought I'd head out on the road
I thought I'd get travelled
but I keep coming more unravelled
I thought I'd made my mind up
you know it ain’t easy
but I don't have one good reason
one good reason
most nights all that I can I see are shadows
faces I can’t follow, strangers I don’t know
like I’m on reruns, just watching every bad decision
it’s such a bitter vision
of every sentiment unsung
I thought I'd head out on the road
I thought I'd get travelled
but I keep coming more unravelled
I thought I'd made my mind up
you know it ain’t easy
but I can’t see one good reason
I got one good reason
then you ask me how I make my way
if I’m ever gonna make it
you’re gonna ask me what's my family saying?
whether I got one good reason
I got one good reason
to head out on the road
go and get travelled
I don’t care if I come unravelled
at least I made my mind up
you know it ain’t easy
I got my one good reason
one good reason

Can I Call You
04:25
|
|||
|
underneath my breath
in the back of my mind
the last summer day
that took you away
you left me behind
I don’t need a reminder
I don’t want a sign
I want you to come back
as simple as that
back to where I am
can I call you when I can’t get to sleep at night?
when I wake up alone
I’ll tell you what I see when I close my eyes
you can tell me when you’re coming home
got your picture framed
just the other day
picked up a book you read
but you never finished with
when you were my age
I keep moving on
but that’s not what I want
I want to see you here
I want to hold your hand
You been gone too long
can I call you when I can’t get to sleep at night?
when I wake up alone
I'll tell you what I see when I close my eyes
and you can tell me when you’re coming home
can I call you when I can’t get to sleep at night?

Across The Earth
03:18
|
|||
|
Had our worries then we lost em
In Desert skies and canyon blossoms
As we find our way across the
Mountains and the valleys of the earth
The rails they rattle over rivers
We are passengers we're drifters
Storms may gather in the distance
We will find our way across the earth
Woah lose our troubles by the mile
Woah watch the sun light up the sky
Woah and we'll never say goodbye
We will find our way across the earth
Snow fall in a northern forest
An ocean break in California
it’s like the world was made just for us
As we find our way across the earth
Though we have no destination
We know there is some final station
But still we have today
to carry on, to find our way across the earth
and if it takes all day and night
if we’re not looking for what we find
then we’ll just head out tomorrow
We will find our way across this
No matter what the ticket costs us
We will find our way across the earth

How Much Is Enough?
03:28
|
|||
|
another story on a cover
one more way to lose each other
every day
it’s a terminal disease
and I am starting to believe
that we can’t escape
So I go looking for distraction
No purpose, all reaction
hypnotized
miss the chance to wake up
from this dream I didn't make up
forget to open my eyes
how much is enough
I could wish for so much
throw the days away
when to say when
let's begin this again
a fresh start where its ending
enough is enough
pretending
another sunset another
made up mess is a memory
misread the warning and the signs
I keep looking but I’m blind
to what is happening
Just when I think I’m all fixed up
I’ll make another wish up
fantasize
make a fortune, we’ll be better
oh the life we’d have together
just gotta wait for that time
how much is enough
I could wish for so much
throw the days away
when to say when
let's begin this again
a fresh start where its ending
enough is enough
pretending
the man I might be
the life I would lead
enough pretending

Feel like we’re driving in the pouring rain
feel like the sun will never rise again
i know it looks like it's our darkest day
baby can we let the blue sky in?
the sound of hearing your heart break
turn around I wanna see your face
got so caught up in the mess we make
there is something I forgot to say
I’ve got you I promise
we gave each other wedding rings
I said I do
and that’s the way I'm gonna be with you
I never know just where I’m headed to
just where I’m going can’t be without you
Maybe it's simple maybe it gets rough
I want to reach I want to feel your touch
I’ve got you I promise
we gave each other wedding rings
I said I do
and that’s the way I'm gonna be with you
that’s the way I’m gonna be

Poison
03:06
|
|||
|
so come on tell me something
are you here to make a show
the money means nothing
it’s just here to make things go
let me give you my neck
so you can choke me where I sit
hurry up, get the poison quick
I get the poison in the spotlight
I get the poison on the stage
I get the poison when I see you
you put poison in my veins
let me give you my neck
so you can choke me where I sit
hurry up, get the poison quick
I’ve seen men take poison
to say what they can’t say
I’ve seen men given poison
and then try to run away
let me give you my neck
so you can choke me where I sit
hurry up, get the poison quick
I get the poison in the guitar
I get the poison on the stage
I get the poison when I see you
you put the poison in my veins
poison in the guitar
I got poison on the stage
I got poison in the spotlight
you put the poison in my veins

So Easily
03:56
|
|||
|
today I woke up back in Boston
on that summer in back bay
i keep rewinding this old tape
so worn out it barely plays
I listen for the reason
that I keep writing on this page
when just as easily
there’s so much else that i could be
I could give up so easily now
but you showed up in California
man, I still can’t believe you came
we picked up where we left it
just some kids that won’t accept
they live too far away
I have worried and I’ve wondered
I know that nothing stays the same
but when we start to play
without words we seem to say
I won't give up
I won’t give up so easily now
I won't give up
I won't give up
I won't give up
I won't give up so easily now
sometime long after we are done here
when our signal starts to fade
I will look back on a spring day
I didn’t give up for a change

Closer To The Fire
04:52
|
|||
|
closer to the fire that we started with
when we were younger and the fight wasn’t over yet
closer, I keep getting closer
the longer that it takes to get over it
the harder that it gets to uncover it
closer, keep getting closer
Now I would go back if I was capable
to that hotel we had a drink or two
live life
burn bright
words came out burning hot
a fire that we couldn't stop
Was there ever that flame or did I dream it up?
Did we burn it out or did we give it up?
The closer I get, the further it seems
closer to the fire that we started with
when we were younger and the fight wasn’t over yet
closer, keep getting closer
the longer that it takes to get over it
the harder that it gets to uncover it
closer, keep getting closer
we had it right in our hands and then it burned away
when you built a city out of closet space
State lines
midnights
down 89, 91 and 95
When the road hit the wheels we would do anything
to keep that getaway feeling burning through our veins
The closer I get, the further it seems
I get so afraid to just dig in the dark
I feel so alone down there in the well
I’m closer now
closer than I’ve ever been
I’ll light it up you see what you can do with it
I’m closer now
closer than I’ve ever been
Follow the fire maybe start it up again
