I headed east for therapy and it's been a hell of a week
maybe it's medicine that I need, maybe a microscope for a closer look inside of me
I don't know, give it a go
I hit the road for relief. I saw myself unravelling. Maybe a hospital is what I need, maybe a team of doctors all the brightest in the field. I don't know,
give it a go
i've done the work, done the time. I let em into my mind.
maybe they'll have a new drug to prescribe. but right now theres only thing
that could make everything right
My girl is comin from chicago, and i couldn't need her anymore than I do right now.
My girl is comin from chicago, and i wouldn't want another one to fall asleep with Tonight.
repeat.
After it's said and done. All I need is you, for what i'm going through, Just you.

The Voice

Do you the Voice at a night, when your guard is off and there's nothing to distract you
do you believe the words it's says. when the truth feels distant and there's no one to remind you
of who you are, when you feel tangled in a web of shame
are you aware of just how much
the silence overwhelms you and there's no one to assure you
of who you are, when you feel lost, in a sea of loneliness
One thing, and that's all I'll ask of you
Can I Be, the one , to take you from the Voice
can i district you
can i remind you
can i assure you
you are the brightest light i've ever seen .

Jenny see right through my joke, tell me what you really think
Jenny tells it straight up know, she is like a sharp arrow
when she says, "get over yourself" and it's sad when i have no response

so let the sun fall (may it find) let the sun fall (may it find you) let the sun fall (warm and

Baby don't leave me, tonight could you stay tangled up with me
Breathe in your perfume, tomorrow i will have you on my clothes

Modern Radio

Are you listening? or are you auto tuned.. are you breathing in the poisons of the modern radio.
Give me an artist i don't want a product. Give me something honest do you speak for yourself or are you just selling out?
it's the money making formula, it's a corporate world running the sound
you can find the talent underground (me)
Give me a message that is worth thinking of, play like you mean it like it's something you love cause it's comes from your heart
Hey singer songwriter let's go, we need a scene a place of our own
come out from the silence and be known, let's put on a show!
hey artist share with us your voice let's hear what your making in your studios
we need to wake this sleeping world!!
Turn off the Radio! Turn off the Radio! Turn off the Radio! We need a scene, a place of our own! (are you auto tuned) let's hear what your making in your studios! (are you auto turned) Turn off the Radio!

It's time to clear the mind, it's just time to clear the mind
sleep, sleep sound again, you, you're always my friend
ch: Pray the tradewinds will carry you through the wide ocean
may you ride on the currents they won't pull you under
it's time, to clear the webs, it's just time to start again
Repeat ch.
add: Pray the fog will be cleared and the sun will appear
may your enemies run and your fears disappear
don't you know that your never alone I am here
for you, you, you, i'm always a friend for you
you, you, you i'll always look out for you
you, you, you I'm always a friend for you
you, you, you I'll always look out for you

Whiskey & a Friend

your trying to hard, to fall back asleep
saying please take me away to a peaceful state of mind
your feeling the ground, shake under your feet
saying please give me the strength when the world is fallen apart
give me the light when the darkness is closing in on me
it gets a little bit harder, when the waters rise
and all that you worked for, is slipping away and your losing the breath in your lungs
Your falling behind, don't k now if you'll catch up
saying please slow it all down I am trying to sort it all out
so many thoughts i don't know where the hell i'm gonna start
dig a little big deeper
if you've nowhere to run
when all of your plans derail
and you find you have gone way to far from the place you felt safe
Tell me how I could help you, your heavy heart i'll listen
and i know it's keeping you up, i was awake when i felt you reaching out
oh, i was awake when i felt you reaching out (i'm not going anywhere tonight)
it's always easier said than done
the advice you hear is cheap
so if none of it works for you, all i can offers a shot a whiskey and a friend
and i'll stay up with you through the night til the bottle is dry
yeah i'll stay by your side through the night til our bottle is dry
(haha)

July the Fourth

A crowded bar on a holiday i met you on july the fourth
i'm leaning close just to hear your voice
there's so much i wanna know, while the city sky explodes
it's easy to tell this place is getting old
i close my tab it's time to go
hand on my back you lead me to the door
i'm trying hard to stay composed, as the city skyline glows
with you i'll walk beside you love
i'll go anywhere with you
A summer's night there's no need to rush
time is being good to us
it's getting late but we are wide awake
i haven't felt like this for years, now our city sky has cleared
Say Goodnight, and i hope to see you soon

Take It Or Leave It
02:36
|
|||
|
Careless with the words i've been choosing
something of my pride, i've been losing
but the thought out there for you, take it or leave it
but the heart out there for you, take it or leave it
but if you find it of no use, i couldn't blame you for the truth
it was just something, i had to do
Patient and composed i'm really trying
take what's worth it slow, before i fall in
and put it all out there for you, at your disgression
so i'll take a few steps back from you leave an impression
but if you find you need pursuit, someone who cares eough to do
that's always something, i'd do for you.

When You're Gone

Put your hand upon my heart I need you to understand
your the only one it wants and it's so heavy when your gone
when you're gone.
Put some faith in me my life, with every breathe that fills my lungs
you have never left my thoughts, and they won't leave you when you're gone
when you're gone, when you'e gone
oooo, so heavy when your gone. (Repeat)
Put your hand upon my heard, I need you to understand.

Breathe

Breathe, your so young to have so much on your plate
i know life is anything but easy
just breathe, you're so young to give so much of yourself
it seems when you thought your life would be, it's not
Be brave, face your battle day by day
and you have so well. and if you need me i am here
Dream, your still young don't lose your deems,
cause you know your will has gotten strong enough for anything,
you seek, look how far you've come from where you felt
so scared, look how much that you have grown
and it shows to the one who is your own,
you've done so well,
but you should know your not alone
if your feeling overwhelmed, if it all keeps adding up
if your burdens weigh you down, if you feel you've had enough
you have someone to hear all your troubles, i am here
through all, your fears you will never be alone
you know, you will never be alone.

Reach You
05:48
|
|||
|
For every war i waged against you
for every battle scar i gave
For all the words i said to hurt you
for every time i left your side
Can I find my way back to your heart?
have I gone way too far to reach you where you are?
And if i've ever made you weary
for every sleepless i night i've caused
for every burden that you carried
and every lie that you believe
Can I find my way back to your heart?
am I way to late to reach you through my mistakes
If i have to search around the world,
if i have to turn it upside down, to find you I will
If i have to dig into the earch
if i have to plummet through the dark, to find you i will
Can I find my way back to your heart?
Am I way to late to reach you through my mistakes.

Brothers

You're still home though the years that pass aways
and though the places they have changed, you remain
I walked unsturdy (not a word i know) ground, with a rope around my waist
and i never was afraid , you'd pull me away if trouble came
::: (the rope around the waist yea i was walking out into a lake was only very recently frozen..or not)
you're my home when the world is filled with hate, your the bond nothing can break, or separate, with you i'm safe
::: (these lyrics were referenced to the fact that a lot of people wanted to beat me up in high school, but nick was my best friend and sort of a HE-MAN)
I drove familiar roads, for a place to hang my coat when it weighs me down, I cannot bare, you're still there, that's all I care
I'll sing with you, when we've had to much to drink
though the neighborhood's asleep, the night is young
for you and me, through our lives that pass away
and though the places they may change, i won't go you're still my home
I drove familiar roads, for a place to lose these shoes
i've traveled long but have not found, nothing so true, none like you
