All That I Wanted (Hush, 2012)
Shadows out on the pavement follow me around like your memories. Waking without you beside me, without all this aching I’d think you were a dream. I guess we never found our way. I’m thinking that it’s safe to say. But you’re the only one that I, ever wanted... You, all that I wanted. You, for love, love. Breathing, breathing without you, heaviness weighing on my chest. Give me a line to hang onto, I’m dangling forever over the moon for you. I guess we never found our way. I’m thinking that it’s safe to say. But you’re the only one that I, ever wanted... You, all that I wanted. You, for love, love.
Be Brave (Into the Sun, 2010)
What I've got is a little of a lot of hoping you'll be mine cause I can't hardly stop thinking about you. I hope you're thinking about me too. Well I got to thinking how it'd be if I got the courage up just to let you know, it might set me free. How would that be? Angel in the corner, watching over me, you know it's been a long time since I felt this feeling. You're face is so familiar, you're still so far way, think that I should know you if I could just be brave. If I could just be brave. What I've got's, a little of a lot of wishing you'd be kissing me 'cause I can't stop thinking about you. I know you're thinking about me too, 'cause I can feel, feel your eyes on me when I'm walking in the room. And I think it's gotta mean a little more than nothing. Angel in the corner, watchin' over me, you know it's been a long time since I felt this feeling. You're face is so familiar, you're still so far way, think that I should know you if I could just be brave. If I could just be brave. One quick smile from you is all that I can take. You've got me hypnotized, I can't tell real from fake. Angel in the corner, you're still so far way, think that I should know you if I could just be brave. If I could just be brave.
Bewitched (Hush, 2012)
Close the curtains keep it quiet, holding down my tongue. If you knew the truth would you love me or would you run, run ohh. Hear you talk, I feel you staring, everybody knows. Watch the clock, it won’t be long before I see you run, run. Oh my my, my secret’s out. Hear you whispering all around. Cast your stones, I’ll cast one too, a bewitching spell on you. Eyes are watching me and waiting for me to do wrong. If they knew me they would know there’s no reason to run, run. Oh my my, my secret’s out. Hear you whispering all around. Cast your stones, I’ll cast one too, a bewitching spell on you.
Come Back to Me (The Beat Goes On, 2017)
Will you come back to me, come back to me, I need your love. We've been drifting on this cold dark sea, alone, so long. And the longer it takes the harder it makes it, to find our way back home. Will you come back to me? Will you come back to me? Come on home. Remembering how the light shining down captured you. Your eyes and your mouth, your hands reaching out, I'm all in with you. But you're running like the wind, I'm rolling with the punches, singing in the rain, reaching for your love, I'm reaching for you. Will you come back to me, come back to me, I need your love. We've been drifting on this cold dark sea, alone, so long. And the longer it takes the harder it makes it, to find our way back home. Will you come back to me? Will you come back to me? Come on home. Life like a play, we captured the stage, all eyes on you. Now there's nothing to say, we just hide it away and bury the truth. Cause you're running like the wind, I'm rolling with the punches, singing in the rain, reaching for your love, I'm reaching for you. Will you come back to me, come back to me, I need your love. We've been drifting on this cold dark sea, alone, so long. And the longer it takes the harder it makes it, to find our way back home. Will you come back to me? Will you come back to me? Got your hands in your pockets looking down like ya just don't know. Wear your heart like a locket 'round your neck so you know I know. Got my hands in my pockets looking down like I just don't know. Somewhere this love started slipping, started slipping, but we can't let it go. Ohh. Will you come back to me? We've been drifting on this cold dark sea, alone, so long. And the longer it takes the harder it makes it, to find our way back home. Will you come back to me? Will you come back to me? Come on home.
Come On, Let Go (Into the Sun, 2010)
Here we go again, got one foot stuck in the doorway. Every time I think you're gone there you are again. It's just our story, trying to piece it all back together - like the times before, but we both no it won't last forever. Come on let go, cause I don't wanna move backwards, to another disaster waiting around the bend. I've made up my mind, I don't think you can bend it. I'm not gonna defend it, and I'm not gonna rewind. Rainy days have gone, gone away for now they're over. Sun's shining in, well it kept you off my mind. You're always on time, like a storm chasing off fair weather. Gotta take my sunshine, well by now you'd think I outta know better. Come on let go, cause I don't wanna move backwards, to another disaster waiting around the bend. I've made up my mind, I don't think you can bend it. I'm not gonna defend it, and I'm not gonna rewind. Here we go again got one foot stuck in the doorway. Every time I think you're gone there you are again. Always in my rearview mirror coming closer. Well you'd think by now we'd both know we are over. Come on let go, cause I don't wanna move backwards, to another disaster waiting around the bend. I've made up my mind, I don't think you can bend it. I'm not gonna defend it, and I'm not gonna rewind.
Crush (Hush, 2012)
I can barely move when I’m thinking about you. Oh you do what no one else can do. Afraid to tell the truth, don’t wanna be a fool. But you do what no one else can do. If you feel it would you let me know, because I’m too afraid to say it, so, for now I’m gonna keep it hushed, until I get the nerve to tell you - Crush. I can barely breathe when you’re standing next to me. Got a hold that no one else can see. Afraid to follow through if you don’t feel it too. but you do what no one else can do. If you feel it would you let me know, because I’m too afraid to say it, so, for now I’m gonna keep it hushed, until I get the nerve to tell you - Crush. Oh come on with me, let’s go. I can’t stand this feeling, oh I gotta tell you now but I’m so afraid to say it. So if you feel it would you let me know, because I’m too afraid to say it, so, for now I’m gonna keep it hushed, until I get the nerve to tell you - Crush.
Darlin (Hush, 2012)
Swimming all around, my head is underwater from the sound of your voice. My heart is beating like a big big drum. Oh love, love, love I won’t let it slip away. I won’t put you underfoot, ‘cause I want you here to stay. I love you, and I always will. Oh my baby, I am undone for you. Oh sweet darlin, I don’t wanna live without you. Cheek to cheek with you, we’ll dance under the sky, the big sky blue and when we’re old you’ll kiss me like you do while we are young. Oh love, love, love I won’t let it slip away. I won’t put you underfoot, ‘cause I want you here to stay. I love you, and I always will. Oh my baby, I am undone for you. Oh sweet darlin, I don’t wanna live without you.
Done (The Beat Goes On, 2017)
Packed my bags, put states between. Erased you from my memory. Kissed goodbye years of trying. A whole new life without you here, tell myself year after year to let you go - that I'm better, better off without you. Moving on's the hardest thing I've had to do. And I lie to myself if I say I'm through. One look from you and it all comes undone. I guess moving on don't mean that you're done. One night out and two drinks in, I fall back where we began. But I'm alone - still pretending; leaving you was for the best - that I'm flying free at last cause I don't need nobody else to break my heart like you. Moving on's the hardest thing I've had to do. And I lie to myself if I say I'm through. One look from you and it all comes undone. I guess moving on don't mean that you're done. Moving on's the hardest thing I've had to do. And I lie to myself if I say I'm through. One look from you and it all comes undone. I guess moving on don't mean that you're done.
Get By (The Beat Goes On, 2017)
We've all got a different story; we've all got our own way. This life would be so boring if we were just the same; look around, see it all, we're alright. Say what you will; say what you want; say it's all wrong, it's all right; just trying to get by. Love how you will, love who you are, love saves us all. It's alright, just trying to get by. Everyone's got something special. Everyone's got more than they think. Don't let the talk, talk, talking, take you down or make you sink; love around see it all, we're alright. Say what you will; say what you want; say it's all wrong, it's all right; just trying to get by. Love how you will, love who you are, love saves us all. It's alright, just trying to get by. Don't believe in words that try to hurt you. We're gonna be okay. Say what you will. Say what you will. Say what you will. Say what you will; say what you want; say it's all wrong, it's all right; just trying to get by. Love how you will, love who you are, love saves us all. It's alright, just trying to get by.
Hi, Hi, Hi (Into the Sun, 2010)
Gonna catch my breath. Gonna catch my falling star and take it - I'll wish on it again. Thought I knew your heart, should have known my luck was that you'd fake it. I'll get you back again. Around and round we go, around and round we go. You always say hi, hi, hi. Just to tell me bye, bye, bye. Think you'll probably hide, hide, hide no matter how I try. Gonna let it drive, gonna let it drive this luck that faded, it'll turn around again. I've been on your wire, walking on this high, high wire, it's breaking, just gonna break me in. Around and round we go, around and round we go. You always say hi, hi, hi. Just to tell me bye, bye, bye. Think you'll probably hide, hide, hide no matter how I try. You always say hi, hi, hi. Just to tell me bye, bye, bye. Think you'll probably hide, hide, hide no matter how I try.
Holdin’ Steady (Into the Sun, 2010)
Doesn’t hesitate - time just ticks away, gone, he’s gone. When the spring draws near she’s wishing he was back here at home. This room it feels so empty, it’s felt the same for all these years. Asking for some mercy, just to leave what’s left of him. Home is light years, wanna tell it to ya dear, I wish you were here, holdin’ steady onto me. Watched you walk away through those pearly gates, run, fly. Conjure up some faith, hope that life will be sane someday. March is getting closer another year to mark the day he went away. Break us from this circle, this slowly moving hurricane. Home is light years, wanna tell it to ya dear, I wish you were here, holdin’ steady onto me.I wanna tell you that the rain goes spinning round, spinning round over the sun when you’re gone. I wanna tell you that rain goes spinning round, spinning round, oh it all goes spinning round spinning round over undone. Home is light years, wanna tell it to ya dear, I wish you were here, holdin’ steady onto me.
Home (The Beat Goes On, 2017)
When the day grows dim, and the night falls in. When all the wanderlust we had has found it's end. And when just one kiss, from your lips, is enough for me, I know it's real, this love is real, I can feel - You are home to me. You are home to me. I am home to you. We are home. Now the days have passed on by, and the babies run and hide, sitting on the swing in the sun outside. And each memory, has a melody. Some might call it boring but to me it's extraordinary. You are home to me. You are home to me. I am home to you. We are home. Now the days have passed on by, and your here by my side. And what I know is this love is real, this love is real cause I can feel - You are home to me. You are home to me. I am home to you. We are home.
Hush (Hush, 2012)
I live my life up in the clouds. I can’t come down, I don’t know how, ‘cause I’ve always been like that. Say it’s time to get in check, get my life out of this wreck. But I’m always looking back. Sky blue sky, and the wind is warm. Flying high into a storm. Everything’s fine, just fine, so don’t say change. Just hush. I never would have give give given it up, if only I’d known you’d turn and run. Oh why are you so scared? Why oh why can’t you just admit you never wanted more, just a little bit, you rat, that wasn’t fair. Sky blue sky, and the wind is warm. Flying high out of a storm. Oh and I’ll never tell you how I feel, I’ll just keep it to myself and try to heal. So hush. Never gonna let it out. Never will this be known. We’ve all got secrets, so, they’re yours and mine alone. We hold ‘em near. Hush, whispering ears. I met another love last year overseas while traveling here, and I never told the truth. I had someone I loved back home. I can’t come clean, can’t let ‘em know, cause I’m scared to be alone. Sky blue sky, and the wind is warm. Flying high into a storm. Oh and I’ll always keep this secret safe cause I cannot bare to watch you walk away. So Hush.
It’s all good (Tides, 2014)
I can’t wait to see your face I go around and round just swim in place while I wait for you, it’s all good. All wrapped up, I cannot lie, around your tiny hands, there’s nothing like what i feel for you, and it’s all good. Bide my time till the day you come, waitings hard when the wait is long. Oh my honey my sweet sweet one, i’m terrified but ready for the change to come. more and more, than ever before, i can’t wait till i see you, i need you, more and more. Hard to tell what time will bring I’ve got a lot wrapped up and tied with strings in a bow for you, and it’s all good. Crazy how one simple look, we wen't from 123 that's all it took, I still can't believe, and it's all good. Bide my time till the day you come, waitings hard when the wait is long. Oh my honey my sweet sweet one, i’m terrified but ready for the change to come. more and more, than ever before, i can’t wait till i see you, i need you, more and more
I Don’t Know (Into the Sun, 2010)
I’ve been waiting on the light so flip the switch and rearrange my view. It’s a long haul to the place where we both know this is what we’re supposed to do. I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know. Oh I don’t know. Oh at three o’clock this morning felt this feeling was a warning. And I don’t think I can make it even though I know you’re worth it. Oh and life barrels on down this one way track there’s no goin’ back that I can see. Well I can’t say slow down but I can’t say go and I’m scared to know where that will lead, oh I’m scared to know where that will lead. So say it now, I’m the one who wants to wait it out. So if you wanna get out I would get it, no I really can’t make you stay. And if you say you’re out, I cannot say that I would blame you now. But just because I cannot jump ‘til I’m ready doesn’t mean I don’t feel a thing. And if you say you’re out I cannot say that I would blame you now, but just because I cannot jump ‘til I’m ready doesn’t mean I don’t feel a thing. I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know. Oh I don’t know. Oh at three o’clock this morning felt this feeling was a warning. And I don’t think I can make it even though I know you’re worth it
I CRIED (Tides, 2014)
You were like fire, I gasoline. Soaked in the sun, burned up the days, and swam in the sea. Feel of the air, burning my skin, Dove in too quickly and we sank in. Happened so fast, we were slow to fade and i cried, i cried, i cried. Oh now he loves me, you faded away, Like your cigarette paper you burned up in smoke in a foggy a haze. Try to forgive me, I’ll forgive you, There’s nothing to say i wasn’t meant for you. Life has a way of turning the page after you cry, you cry. Maybe you moved on too, maybe I’m stronger ‘cause of you. Happened so fast, we but were slow to fade away, and I cried, I cried, I cried
Just Don’t Wanna Be Alone (Hush, 2012)
You love me, you hate me. You could give or take me. And you don’t think I know, but I know, I know. The right words, that I need, are missing where they should be. And you don’t think I know, but I know, I know. Oh I know you’d rather be here than all alone. Oh I know you don’t think we’re right. Oh don’t go, just lay down I don’t wanna fight. Just don’t wanna be alone tonight. This picture we’ve painted is pretty but it’s tainted. And you won’t say it’s so, but it’s so, it’s so. We both know pretend love will never be enough, the writing’s on the wall saying go, just go. Oh, Oh I know you’d rather be here than all alone. Oh, I know you don’t think we’re right. Oh, don’t go, just lay down I don’t wanna fight. Just don’t wanna be alone tonight.
Life Begins (The Beat Goes On, 2017)
Take, take it all. It's all for you, everything (this is where life begins). All, all brand new, not a clue, here we go (this is where life begins). All that I need, everything, is in you (this is where life begins). All that I feel, so complete, here with you (this is where life begins). Love that I can't define, made our place in this life, you're my melody, my everything. Your song in my ear, sweet sweet voice I love it here, you're my melody, my everything. Take, take it all, it's all for you, everything (this is where life begins). All, all brand new, not a clue, here we go (this is where life begins).
Love Can (The Beat Goes On, 2017)
Love can grow and grown if we really want it to. It's strange, I know, how it hurts sometimes. Sometimes we get it right, sometimes we don't, we've gotta try. Cause the beat goes on. Ya the beat goes on. Love can build a bridge towering about the roughest waters edge, it can guide us home. Sometimes we get it right sometimes we don't, we've gotta try. Cause the beat goes: on and on like a drum, the heart marches on, Gotta take it in stride. Hold my hand when life's hard, don't let go don't go far, gotta hold on tight. Every step that we take, even all our mistakes, they can come out all right. Love can beat like a drum, keep us marching on, keep us warm at night. Keep us warm at night. Keep us warm. Love can grow and grown if we really want it to. It's strange, I know, how it hurts sometimes. Sometimes we get it right, sometimes we don't, we've gotta try. Cause the beat goes on. Ya the beat goes.
Make me blue (Hush, 2012)
Take the wind from my sail, Push me out on a rail and I can’t swim or fly. Cruel words taht you said went and messed with my head and I’m afraid to try. Well I don’t need you to push me down and make me blue. I’ve got nowhere to go except the ocean below, I fight this raging tide. Next time that you speak, you’d better think first, Just think before you speak your mind. I don’t need you to push me down and make me blue, No I don’t need you to push me down and make me blue. I dont need you to tell me what to do, I'm doing just fine feeling all right. The sun will come up and the sun will go down just like if I’m lost then I’ll get found. I don’t need you to push me down and make me blue. It’s like a blow to the head all the words that you said, but I’m just fine, I’m fine. Cause I don’t need you to push me down and make me blue, No I don’t need you to push me down and make me blue
Oh My Soul (Hush, 2012)
Got a feeling in my chest today will be the last, last breath I breathe. I’ve known it for awhile, demise is like a cannon ball around my knees. Either way it goes away before we’re done. A sinking stone, a low, low drone, telling me my time will come.
Oh my soul I feel it in the wind. Moving on until the bitter end. I might fly away, yeah. I might fly away, yeah. Gotta feeling in my soul, it speaks so soft and so low. All the time I’ve gotta take, living like my life’s at stake is just the way I know. Either way it goes away before we’re done. A sinking stone, a low, low drone, telling me my time will come. Oh my soul I feel it in the wind. Moving on until the bitter end. I might fly away, yeah. I might fly away, yeah. Got a little bit of light in my tragedy, a haunting thought that shifts and shakes me. And on my way out I’ll be sure of foot, I know it and it’s liberating. Here I go the day I know’s around the bend waiting. Here I go please just know, I spent some time praying. Oh my soul I feel it in the wind. Moving on until the bitter end. I might fly away, yeah. I might fly away.
Real Beast (Tides, 2014)
Bump in the night, dark outside, monsters down the hall, shadows on the wall cannot move at all.Strange, this land, shifting like sand, turn it upside down, I try to run some ho, I'm sinking further now. Every time I feel it, creeping up on me, fear ain’t gonna kill me, but I’ve seen, it’s a real real beast. Things unseen chasing me. It’s all in my mind, I try to scratch and climb safely out of sight. Every time I feel it, creeping up on me, fear ain’t gonna kill me, but I’ve seen, it’s a real real beast. Gotta get out of my head tonight. Tired eyes cover up what I shouldn't hide. Gotta strip it down I gotta take apart all the fear that goes and makes the running start. Bump in the night, dark outside, monsters down the hall, shadows on the wall, I cannot move at all. Everytime I feel it, creeping up on me, fear ain’t gonna kill me, but I’ve seen, it’s a real real beast
Seize the Day (Into the Sun, 2010)
When you find your home is not your own, a bitter end took all you know. If along the way the wars we've waged, take us down a little ways, Gotta let go. Gotta let go. Gotta let go and seize the day. When you find your back against the wall, feeling broke and so damn small. When the fury's rising in your chest, from a bitter soul who took your best, Gotta let go. Gotta let go. Gotta let go and seize the day. When the doors are closing one by one, you can't hide, no you can't run. When the love you knew has gone away, you hold so tight but still it fades, Gotta let go. Gotta let go. Gotta let go and seize the day.
Sing (Hush, 2012)
Find myself stuck in a daydream. Sometimes my life’s not what I thought it be. I want just to laugh and be happy, time melts away, nothing turns green. Running through motions in life, looking for some kind of sign. Oh my friend I’ll be fine. Dust off the pages and move forward, I’m holding out hope that my song’s not been sung and sing, sing at the top of my lungs. La Da, La Da, Oh La Da Da. Sometimes the best thing that you can do is sing. All of the world starts to fade. Looking ahead and I can’t see my way. Two paths collide and I’m chasing time like a clock, but it never stops. Running through motions in life, looking for some kind of sign. Oh my friend I’ll be fine. Set life in motion and walk down the line. Holding up hope that my song’s not been sung and sing, sing at the top of my lungs. La Da, La Da, Oh La Da Da. Sometimes the best thing that you can do is sing.
Sway (Into the Sun, 2010)
I saw you in a dream, waiting there for me. I wore you on my heart, you wore me on your sleeve. We danced beneath the stars, down beside the creek. Tomorrow when I wake, I'll remember how it used to be.
Sway, sway. Ain't no rhyme or reason going to tell us why the good goes away. Sway, sway. It's dizzying the feeling think' about how all good things change. All the trees have grown, overgrown they sway, in a dream, a field, where we used to play. Hear the branches moan, moaning' in the breeze. Tomorrow when I wake I'll remember how it used to be. Sway, sway. Ain't no rhyme or reason going to tell us why the good goes away. Sway, sway. It's dizzyin' the feeling think' about how all good things change. All of those times in the fields, all our white horses have gone and run away, we find. Don't wanna stop short just to see, we've taken for granted all of this passing time.
Time's On Our Side (Tides, 2014)
Don’t hesitate don’t wait, cause i’m leaving now, gonna drive until i find it, gonna leave this all behind. Can’t worry about little things, gonna take my time wanna sit and watch the water, rising with the tide. It’s okay it’s aright gonna soak up the sunshine, It's okay, it's alright time's on our side.
Try (The Beat Goes On, 2017)
Everybody feels this way sometimes; love's breaking down, it's broken now. Everybody wants to run sometimes; pull the thread, and watch it all unwind. We all wanna look the other way because it's easier sometimes... then going on about the pain and how it made us feel inside. Remember how it used to be, hearts in sync, you and me had everything. We had everything. Take my hand tonight, hold me close gotta try, try, try. Here with you, here with me, right where we belong. We waited our whole lives for love like this, gotta try, try try. Here with you, here with me, now we gotta try, try, try.
I don't wanna feel this way. I don't wanna walk away. I don't wanna turn and watch you leave. We could never justify, giving up, gotta try, I know someday soon we're gonna see. Take my hand tonight, hold me close gotta try, try, try. Here with you, here with me, right where we belong. We waited our whole lives for love like this, gotta try, try try. Here with you, here with me, now we gotta try, try, try.
Two at a Time (Into the Sun, 2010)
Two at a time, they say, the best of ways to find your place. Heart was beating, thump thump speeding, faster when I saw your face. Oo oooooh. Round and round it goes, and where it stops, oh no one knows. Can't predict it, but i gotta say I hope it's so... If I look your way, you will catch my gaze. You will find a way, to my door, it's open wide in wait. So oooooh. Looking into the sun, you know I'm blind as a bat. Until you tossed me that line and now I know where we're at, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah. So run my way, don't you even hesitate. Spring or fall, I'll be waiting through it all. Cause when I look to find what I need, there you are next to me. Oo oooooh. Two at a time, they say, the best of ways to find your place. Heart was beating, thump thump speeding, faster on that day.
Uh Oh, I'm Fallin' (Into the Sun, 2010)
I think I found a heart of gold, raveled up inside your clothes. It took awhile for me to see, you fill the space in between. Uh oh, uh oh, I'm falling. Uh oh, uh oh, I'm falling for you. Oh zip me up inside your vest, keep me warm next to your chest. Our beating hearts between the seams will fill the space in between. Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, I'm falling. Uh oh, uh oh, I'm falling for you. And when you put your hands on mine I know I'm finally free to let go. Uh oh, uh oh, I'm falling. Uh oh, uh oh, I'm falling for you.
Up Up & Away (Into the Sun, 2010)
I arise, and I wake, following the open highway. And I like my mistakes, they’ve brought me where I am today. Up Up Up & Away, Up Up & Away, Up Up & Away, I Go. Gonna float on this cloud of air until the sky falls down. Gonna take all your blues and love you ‘till you love me too. Up Up Up & Away, Up Up & Away, Up Up & Away, I Go. Oh I burned and bled in this cemetery bed, wanna run like hell from the gates of this unwell place; misplaced your ordinary graces standing faceless in this crowd.
Gonna ride on this cloud of air until the sky falls down.
Wake Up (Tides, 2014)
I don't wanna get lost in this great big world, looking round, looking round, always for more. I don't wanna jump ship every time we trip, every time we hit a little bump, so, lay down, here now. Watch the stars fade out. The sky will pale, and all I'll see is me and you. Wake Up, Wake Up, Wake Up, we've been dreaming. Need something real again to believe in this love. Don't wanna give up. Wasting our time living like we're sleeping. Open our eyes, remember the feeling, baby we said together, forever. I don't wanna run run everytime I hurt, a hard habit to break when it's been unearthed. And it's a long long road when you're always running from the ones you love so lay down. We've got to lay down. Watch all the stars now, watching them fade out. Wake Up, Wake Up, Wake Up, we've been dreaming. Need something real again to believe in this love. Don't wanna give up. Wasting our time living like we're sleeping. Open our eyes, remember the feeling, baby we said together... Forever is a long and winding road. Will it stop or will it go? It's a long and winding road. But I know it leads us home. Wake Up, Wake Up, Wake Up, we've been dreaming. Need something real again to believe in this love. Don't wanna give up. Wasting our time living like we're sleeping. Open our eyes, remember the feeling, baby we said together, forever.
Wish I Had the Why (Shelly Fraley, BMI)
I wish I had the why, The why for every woe, We’re all chasing ghosts, Something we loved the most, Lost along the way Looking for a reason why, Why the dark comes out some days, Why it takes our peace away and It breaks us down inside. When your peace like a river runs dry like the desert land, I’ve seen the darkness fall and rise up from the sand. Wish I had the words, the words to make it alright. But we’re all looking for a reason for our wars that words can’t justify. When your peace like a river runs dry like the desert land, I’ve seen the darkness fall and rise up from the sand.
Words Can (The Beat Goes On, 2017; Shelly Fraley, BMI)
Your words cut right through, ringing in my head, words are cruel. It's hard enough, life's hard enough. Without you bringing me down, can't get up when I'm on this ground, I've had enough. I've had enough. Now you're outside looking in for some more love; I can't let you in. Now you're outside growing cold but I can't try to let go, let this end. Words can break your heart, no matter how strong you are. Words can take apart the strongest love of all, and the battle rages on and on. Stand back, I can't pretend. Holding onto this, I cannot bend, I'm under it, I'm under it. Look up, don't look away, look me in the face with the words you say, I've had enough. I've had enough. Now you're outside looking in for some more love; I can't let you in. Now you're outside growing cold but I can't try to let go, let this end. Words can break your heart, no matter how strong you are. Words can take apart the strongest love of all, and the battle rages on and on. Your words cut right through (gotta go and steal my thunder). Your words have left us bruised (gotta say it makes me wonder). Crazy how a simple sound can break apart and tear us down, we're falling. We're falling. Words can break your heart, no matter how strong you are. Words can take apart the strongest love of all, and the battle rages on and on.
You Don't Know Me (The Beat Goes On, 2017; Shelly Fraley, BMI)
Hollow, empty now, the devil came along and dragged me down. Secrets I can't tell are keeping me locked up inside this deep dark cell. You don't know me. You don't know me. You don't know me like you think you do. Running is a smoking gun; try to catch me, see how fast I run. Tell you what you want me to. Oh I tell myself you're never gonna know you played the fool. You don't know me. You don't know me. You don't know me like you think you do. How's it gonna feel, honey, when I've gotta give up this time. I know I've been treating you wrong - that's the bottom line. I don't want you to know, so I keep you in my shadow. You don't know me. You don't know me. You don't know me like you think you do.
