In another place, another time
Across a million memories
Of yours and mine
The path was clear
The air defined
I walked alone, I walked the line
Never tried to force the feeling
The hope was all homegrown
There was no ceiling
But I let the months and years take over
And put me back to square one starting over
I’ve seen some friends
Move throughout their lives
Never seem to suffer much
Never seem to find the strife
But behind those eyes
You never know
If their path was clear
If they walked alone
Never tried to force the feeling
The hope was all homegrown
There was no ceiling
But I let the months and years take over
And put me back to square one starting over
I’m older now, it’s plain to see
The lines across my face tend to remind me
If I could take it back, wouldn’t change a thing
Maybe cut myself some slack, a little less grieving (suffering)
Never tried to force the feeling
The hope was all homegrown
There was no ceiling
But I let the months and years take over
And put me back to square one starting over

Coo Coo Cachoo
04:21
|

Got no home no place to run to
My pocketbook is looking bare
And it’s been so long since you told me
That you’d no longer be there
And I don’t sleep at night without you
Spend the time with long lost friends
Friends I knew the years before you and I
Ain’t it funny how those circles never end
And I swore I’d never bring you down with me
If I just happened to fall
Now it seems that is harder than hell
To just forget about it all
So next time, you see me there just pretend
That I never really even cared
Never broke promises, never let you down
Never broke your heart, never fooled around Coo Coo Cachoo
And I swore I’d never bring you down with me
If I just happened to fall
Now it seems that is harder than hell
To just forget about it all
And I don’t know what kills me more
Complacency or these pages torn from my heart
And I don’t know just where to run to
And I don’t know how far I’ll go
And I swore I’d never bring you down with me
If I just happened to fall
Now it seems that is harder than hell

Chinatown
03:04
|

This heart of mine
Keeps decent time
Though my ears may be weak
And my eyes may be all but blind
I still have sense enough to fear
That I'm not much without you near
I've paid my dues
Loved one or two
But still it keeps boiling down to you
So choose to be my victory or vice
Either way, I still want you here tonight
Heaven knows it's hard to find another
Oh, hell knows it's got a home for folks like me
There will come a day (there will come a day)
When the Earth will cease to spin (Earth will cease to spin)
You'll hold me close and say (hold me close and say)
"My god, where have you been?"
I've been around
Old Chinatown
Happily lost
But oh, so easily found
Yeah, counting the stars above the hill
Beneath some old moon
Humming my tune
I'll see you soon

You're Gonna Find Out
04:59
|
|||
Mint green walls an empty stare
Foreign land a stranger there
Cars are passing through the rain
Shame is sorrow life's a game
But there ain't nowhere to go
Cause it's pouring down
Can't even wander around this town
I've been stuck in the middle and in between
Can't even believe half the shit I've seen
And after all this time, you think you'd finally find the key
It seems you never do, you're just searching for eternity
But there's no need to rush. You're gonna find out what it all means
It's gonna wake you up, it's gonna stir you just like a dream
It's gonna stir you just like a dream
It's gonna stir you just like a dream
It's gonna stir you just like a dream
I've lived for more and I've died for less
Been down so low in this loneliness
Been down those roads that lead nowhere
Easy to find so be aware
But the world still turns and it always will
Ain't got time for standing still
Call it religion, call it what you will
But when you're playing the game, you're living for thrills
And that's all. And that's all
And after all this time, you think you'd finally find the key
It seems you never do, you're just searching for eternity
But there's no need to rush. You're gonna find out what it all means
It's gonna wake you up, it's gonna stir you just like a dream
It's gonna stir you just like a dream
It's gonna stir you just like a dream
It's gonna stir you just like a dream
And after all this time, you think you'd finally find the key
It seems you never do, you're just searching for eternity
But there's no need to rush. You're gonna find out what it all means
It's gonna wake you up, it's gonna stir you just like a dream
It's gonna stir you just like a dream
It's gonna stir you just like a dream
It's gonna stir you just like a dream

Catch You If I Can
02:38
|
|||
It’s not as though I was waiting, for you to come along
I was just there reflecting, on how the day had gone so wrong
But there you stood, your eyes met mine, you asked to bum a light
I had no way of knowing that I’d fall for you that night
Said I’m gonna catch you if I can
Down the road we’ll be older holding hands
If you see things the way I do then in your mind I’m holding you
And I’m gonna catch you if I can
And now I try not to hurt, but it’s hard when you’re not around
You take up so my space in my heart and my mind
You’ve won me over, and it’s all that I can stand
Said I’m gonna catch you if I can
Slow and steady wins the race and that’s what I’ve always known
So I’ll try not to push too much, or hurry you along
But in my mind, you’re in my arms, and no one can come between
Just please just come back darling and I’ll show you what I mean
Said I’m gonna catch you if I can
Down the road we’ll be older holding hands
If you see things the way I do then in your mind I’m holding you
And I’m gonna catch you if I can
And now I try not to hurt, but it’s hard when you’re not around
You take up so my space in my heart and my mind
You’ve won me over, and it’s all that I can stand
Said I’m gonna catch you if I can
Said I’m gonna catch you if I can

The Distance
04:26
|
|||
I wrote it down in pencil. Expecting to erase it again
It never looks right on paper. Like the words of holy men
I came to you wide open. Asking you to let me in.
Without hesitation, or trying to pretend
Now here it is Sunday morning new
And all I want is to be close to you
The distance has me stumbling I trip I fall I’m back again
Baby there is something we could do
So stay with me. You’re all I need.
The way you talk has got to be
The most moving thing I have ever seen
So when you’re out there living your life when I’m not around
Will you think of me, my darling, when you hear a familiar sound
It might be just a line you know, or a song to which we danced
Or maybe it’s a melody that reminds you of the night we met
Now here it is Sunday after noon
And all I want is to be close to you
The distance has me stumbling I trip I fall I’m back again
Baby there is something we could do

I Wanna Tell You
03:01
|
|||
I wanna tell you
One more time
I wanna see you
In the morning light
When the sun it finds you sleeping
And grazes your face
I put on the coffee
And watch you through the percolate
Driving home on that lonesome road
I feel the hesitation
Wanna turn it back to find you
And scoop you up again
And I wanna tell you
That I just can’t see
A day without you in it
Or a night, where you’re not next to me
Driving home on that lonesome road
I feel the hesitation
Wanna turn it back to find you
And scoop you up again
I wanna tell you
One more time
I wanna see you
In the morning light
In the morning light

Turn To Fall
04:23
|
|||
When the battles rage, do you run and hide?
Do you find it hard, to pick a side
Do the winds of change always knock you down
Or do you find your love in a new day coming ‘round
Cause this old world don’t stop for no one
Before you know you’ve nearly missed it all
Can’t tell where all your friends are going
Your endless summer just turned
Just turned to fall
Were you always living in this old town
Or did you find it hard to stick around
Did you never take the same road twice
Did all the dead end streets finally make you realize
That this old world don’t stop for no one
Before you know you’ve nearly missed it all
Can’t tell where all your friends are going
Your endless summer just turned
Just turned to fall
You like the view from here so you build a wall
Before you know you’ve nearly missed it all
Cause this old world don’t stop for no one
Before you know you’ve nearly missed it all
Can’t tell where all your friends are going
Your endless summer just turned
Just turned to fall

On My Sleeve
03:30
|
|||
Walking around on egg shells, stepping over you
Holding back and fightin the fact there’s nothing I can do
To keep you in my company, to have you by my side
But to today threw me a tragedy, one I cannot hide
My head’s hung low I’m trying not to show
But it’s written all over me
You could spot it from a mile away
You can see it on my sleeve
The tea kettle whistles, like it’s calling out my name
Ringing in my ears, but it can’t distract the pain
That follows all around me and haunts me everyday
Looking through the recent past and looking for a way
My head’s hung low I’m trying not to show
But it’s written all over me
You could spot it from a mile away
You can see it on my sleeve
I gave to you a roadmap to lead you to my door
I charted out the waters to make the journey nice and short
But one wrong turn was taken, leading you away
I can’t make you want this, and I can’t make you stay
My head’s hung low I’m trying not to show
But it’s written all over me
You could spot it from a mile away
You can see it on my sleeve
My head’s hung low I’m trying not to show
But it’s written all over me
You could spot it from a mile away
You can see it on my sleeve

Everlasting Lows
03:41
|
|||
Try to be as simple as a man can be
Try to take care of others before I take care of me
But when the nights drag on for so long and the mornings come so fast
The way my head’s been spinning I’ll be lucky if I last
Tell me where did I go wrong and how’d I put you out
I could’ve took the high road but I chose a path of doubt
Why did I do the things that hurt you so
Why the self destruction and these everlasting lows
Well I know I’m in the wrong here and I know I can’t be right
‘Cause I know the feel of darkness, and I know the feel of light
But everytime I try to look down that line
It disappears without a trace right before my very eyes
Tell me where did I go wrong and how’d I put you out
I could’ve took the high road but I chose a path of doubt
Why did I do the things that hurt you so
Why the self destruction and these everlasting lows

One Day At A Time
03:36
|
|||
One day at a time, cliché they always tell me
Better stay the line, why would I she won’t have me
Further down the line, I’ll tell ‘em like you told me
Keeper of advice, but wise they will not call me
So I’m trying to find the time, it keep sliding into home place
Present state of mind, scattered as of late
I made that sacrifice, sold my soul out to this place
So forgive me all my sins, I’m just trying to breathe easy
And let somebody in, but lately it’s not been easy
To hear it from a friend, with a voice that’s lost to traffic
This thing will come around, put a past into a suitcase
and leave it on the plane, there’s no need for baggage claim
So forgive me all my sins, I’m just trying to breathe easy
And let somebody in, but lately it’s not been easy
To hear it from a friend, with a voice that’s lost to traffic
One day at a time, cliché they always tell me
Better stay the line, why would I she won’t have me
Further down the line, I’ll tell ‘em like you told me
Keeper of advice, but wise they will not call me

Don't Wait
08:06
|
|||
Don’t wait, don’t stop, don’t say you never had a way out
When you can’t find that
I’ll be right here, I’ll let you know with every beat of my heart dear
When you say I will, the cars are rusting, world is still
Just stay, don’t you move
I know better than you the way that I could love you
Oh I do, oh I do
I said so long, but what I meant to say love is I’ll be right here holding on
I’ll strum, I’ll sing, I’ll know when you could wear my ring
I know that I would have you girl, if you’d just let me know. Let me know
So let’s go down to that strawbale town and spend some time together
I’ll hold you tight, I’ll hold you right in the days and through the weather
And we’ll go out, and we’ll go play, and pick the wrong restaurant but it’s all the same Cause it’s all with you
When you say I will, the cars are rusting, world is still
Just stay, don’t you move
I know better than you the way that I could love you
Oh I do, oh I do

Can't Last Forever
04:13
|
|||
Feeling too low to make these notes ring true
Words in my head are swirling all around you
Heard the song before but today it sounds so different
Like the blues got ahold of my ears holding back the tears that I’ve once tasted
Most of the time it pours to the pages like a summer rain
But tonight’s dry as a desert, with a heart so thirsty can’t quench the pain
Put in a good fight, try again I might on a better day
When I hear the notes ring true, maybe lying next to you in another life
Going from a major to the minor to the minor 3rd
Playing through the darkness just to conjure up another word
Stuck in between, grinding through to find the gear
Can’t last forever guess I’ll just wait right here
Well my mind says suck it up kid
Ain’t nothing that you did but my heart says different
Yeah you gotta push on through, there’s nothing you can’t do
And I don’t believe that
Cause I never felt this strong, ‘bout being so damn wrong there is no fixing
Going from a major to the minor to the minor 3rd
Playing through the darkness just to conjure up another word
Stuck in between, grinding through to find the gear
Can’t last forever guess I’ll just wait right here
