Memory of You

The breath from your sigh, you could still see in the night air.
Floating off, as if, you were never there.
As we try to find the words, the distance is hard to see.
Should we look past the now and face what will never be.
Funny how it all fades away,
If I could, don’t think I would, change a thing.
Heard from a friend of mine, that you were doing okay.
You got married, had a kid, but things didn’t stay that way.
I found my way out and got to a good place.
It’s from the roads we travel, and not the ghosts we chase.
Funny how it all fades away,
If I could, don’t think I would, change a thing.
Funny how it all fades away,
If I could, don’t think I would, change a thing.
Funny how it all fades away,
If I could, don’t think I would, change a thing.
Thought of you yesterday, and I hope you’re doing fine.
A memory of you comes to me, from time to time.
The pain of heart break, as we learn, goes away.
It’s from the roads we travel, and not the ghosts we chase.
Funny how it all fades away,
If I could, don’t think I would, change a thing.
Funny how it all fades away,
If I could, don’t think I would, change a thing.
Funny how it all fades away,
If I could, don’t think I would, change a thing.
Funny how it all fades away,
If I could, don’t think I would, change a thing.

Disappear

Let’s get away, she said
Take the wheel and head somewhere
Plot our course by following the stars.
Stay in bed all day
Roam the earth like vampires
Somehow we’ve forgotten who we are.
We could go somewhere we’ve seen in a photograph.
We could go to the end of the world, look over and a have good laugh.
No place is too far she said, let’s get out of here.
Let’s just go. Let’s just disappear.
Don’t need a place to stay
Make due with what we’ve have
Hit the road in your beat up old car.
Remembering favorite songs
Sing them like it was the last time
As if the future wasn’t too far.
We could go somewhere we’ve seen in a photograph.
We could sit in a bar, drink all night and get nostalgic about the past.
Anyplace is fine, she said, let’s get out of here.
Let’s just go. Let’s just disappear.
Don’t want to be the one that holds you back
Just want to see you smile and hear you laugh
She said, don’t want be alone, when I get out of here
So let’s just go and just disappear
Let’s get away, she said
Take the wheel and head somewhere
Plot our course by following the stars.
Remembering favorite songs
Sing them like it was the last time
As if the future wasn’t so far.
We could go somewhere we’ve seen in a photograph.
We could go to the end of the world, look over and a have good laugh.
Anyplace is fine, she said, let’s get out of here.
Let’s just go. Let’s just disappear.

Hello there, it’s been awhile,
I hope this finds you well
We haven’t spoken much and the distance,
Sure is hell
Me, well, things aren’t so good
Life didn’t turn out like it could
There are battles you just can’t win
And some are over, before they begin.
Don’t forget me, You have a photograph
We were standing there. I first made you laugh.
Funny how things change and
Life goes by so fast.
Don’t forget me
Sometimes we didn’t see eye to eye,
But things like that wouldn’t last
Sometimes, we would fight
Over spilt milk and broken glass
In the end, you were always there
Letting me know that you care
There are battles you just can’t fight
So we go gently, into that good night.
Don’t forget me, You have a photograph
In it, we were young
We thought those times would last
Invincible, we seemed and
The world was in our grasp
Don’t forget me
Sometimes we get lost
And we can’t find our way
Then through the clouds we see
A brighter day
Sometimes we get lost
And we can’t find our way
Then through the clouds we see
A brighter day
Don’t forget me, You have a photograph
In it, we were young
We thought those times would last
Invincible, we seemed and
The world was in our grasp
Don’t forget me

Rewind

Through red eyes he sees
All that he makes believes.
In a place that’s safe
Where only he escapes
Oh and he, he’s not the same
Oh, the way forward is not so straight
As he lives and breathes
The world around him, moves so slow
Tries to catch it all
In the palm of his hand.
Oh and he, he’s not the same
Oh, the way back home is not so straight
You can’t always take back - the words you say, no
A candle can’t always light - the way back home
You can’t always take back - the words you say, no
A candle can’t always light - the way back home
We all get lost inside, sometimes
If we could find a way to go back,
Rewind
He’s a mystery, built on catastrophe
We don’t know
All the things, that live in his head
Oh and he, he’s not the same
Oh, the way back is not so straight
You can’t always take back - the words you say, no
A candle can’t always light - the way back home
You can’t always take back - the words you say, no
A candle can’t always light - the way back home

Find You
01:49
|

|
Beneath the shade of the trees
Stop and you can feel the breeze
The singing of the birds and bees
Feel the grass beneath your feet
Forget your troubles and the world around
Where you’re at, there are no bounds
Close your eyes and you will see,
You’re free
And I – tried - to find – you.

Sara

Sara says she don’t know what to do
A lot of people right now without a clue
Starting things, just so they can see
Their smiling faces on TV, well
Everyone’s got – their own story to tell
They want to go through the dirt - ‘cause they know it’ll sell
She’s never thought of the circumstance
‘Round fame and fortune or finding romance
Sara says she don’t have time for that
And if it comes, she’ll deal with then
Everyone’s got – their own story to tell
They want to go through the dirt - ‘cause they know it’ll sell
Behind those bright eyes, is a place - you can see
So quit wasting her time, on things she doesn’t need
Sara says she can only be
All the things that you can see
And that beauty lies in your heart
If it’s not, it’ll tear you apart, oh no
Everyone’s got – their own story to tell
They want to go through the dirt - ‘cause they know it’ll sell
Behind those bright eyes, is a place - you can see
So quit wasting her time, on things she don’t need
She says when we say goodbye
No need to shed a tear, no need to cry, no
That life's still a mystery
That we can be, only who we can be.

Sum of All My Wrongs
04:35
|
|||
|
In the dark, wide-awake, my mind won’t let me sleep.
I close my eyes and try to chase, all these thoughts away.
I pray to find solace in your voice, but yet you can’t speak
Words can’t describe the price I’ve paid, the will is strong but the flesh is weak.
Time to say the words,
That I thought I’d never say to you.
Time to make that choice,
That I thought I’d never have to choose.
Time to make my way, make my, way back towards the light.
The sum of all my wrongs won’t equal the one thing I got right.
Through darkness I try find, an anchor to this place
I think I may have been down too long, in a watery grave
Like a candle in the dark, you’ve come to light up the way
Never before, did I have someone, to hear the words that say
Time to say the words,
That I thought I’d never say to you.
Time to make that choice,
That I thought I’d never have to choose.
Time to make my way, make my, way back towards the light.
The sum of all my wrongs won’t equal the one thing I got right.
Time to say the words,
That I thought I’d never say to you.
Time to make that choice,
That I thought I’d never have to choose.
Time to make my way, make my, way back towards the light.
The sum of all my wrongs won’t equal the one thing I got right.

The Great Unknown

Please sign this waiver, and we’ll get out of here
We’ll pretend we’re pilots, on a rocket ship my dear
If your excuse for leaving, is based on your fears
Close your eyes and pretend, as we leave the crowd cheers
Off into the unknown, is where we’ll go
Discovering things, that no one knows
So please sign this waiver, and we’ll get out of here
Close your eyes and pretend, as we leave the crowd cheers
Everything is alright, here we go
Off into the great unknown
Off into the great unknown
Off into the great unknown
Please sign this waiver, and we’ll get out of here
Close your eyes and pretend, as we leave the crowd cheers
Everything is all right, here we go
Off into the great unknown
Everything is all right, here we go
Off into the great unknown
Off into the great unknown
Off into the great unknown
Everything is all right, here we go
Off into the great unknown
Everything is all right, here we go
Off into the great unknown
Off into the great unknown
Off into the great unknown

In a Moment

I read a story about woman the other day,
Who passed away, unnoticed.
She and her family had been at odds,
And they had not lately, spoken.
It’s what you have; you’re soon to forget
When it’s gone, you’re filled with regret
It’s what you want, you never seem to find
The things you need, have been there all the time
He left without saying goodbye,
Over things he viewed as broken.
As he drove, it was the things he didn’t say,
That she’d never know, if she lost him.
It’s what you have; you’re soon to forget
When it’s gone, you’re filled with regret
It’s what you want, you never seem to find
The things you need, have been there all the time
In a moment, things can change and may never, be the same.
In a moment, it all can change and what’s left? What remains?
In a moment, things can change and may never, be the same.
In a moment, it all can change and what’s left? What remains?
It’s what you have; you’re soon to forget
When it’s gone, you’re filled with regret
It’s what you want, you never seem to find
The things you need, have been there all the time
Could we go back and change the things we said
That hurt the ones, that we love
Would sorry be enough to take away the pain
If we missed the chance, when they’re gone
It’s what you have; you’re soon to forget
When it’s gone, you’re filled with regret
It’s what you want, you never seem to find
The things you need, have been there all the time

Close Your Eyes

Say goodnight
The sleep, it comes now
You try to fight
But you, you can’t win
Don’t want to leave
Don’t want to leave it all behind
But now it’s time
It’s time to Close your eyes – just dream
Close your eyes – and dream
As you lie
Count the stars in the sky
Go to the place
To that place you call home
Don’t want to leave
Don’t want to leave it all behind
Now it’s time
It’s time to Close your eyes – just dream
Close your eyes – and dream
