When I Go

Oh Alyssa, what a view
Wish you could see the things I do
What a perfect place to end
But a pretty thing to lose
When I go, don't forget I left a note
When you find the time for reading
Know the words were meant for you
And they go
Oh sugar we're so lucky we had the time we did
A lifetime more than nothing, this ending God forbid
We can't control the future so let your worries go
Your grip a little looser and bury them below
I used to get so nervous
My heart would beat so fast
Whenever we locked eyes babe
And the feeling never past
When I go, I'll still love you this I know
When you find the time to listen
Know my songs were meant for you
And they go
Oh sugar I'm so lucky I have you like I do
My ending will be nothing, we'll always have us two
Whenever you still miss me, just hear these words again
And don't forget to kiss me before you tuck me in

Paralyzed
I've been struck by you
Your love is my freedom, your beauty my muse
The heavens smiled
When your feet touched the ground
Rang out in a chorus as my love came down
No fool's gold, you're all that you seem
When you're near, my soul can't help but sing
So let it ring
Mystified
I'm enraptured by you
Your laugh is my anthem, your tears are my blues
Terrified
The devil runs fast
In fear of your essence and the light that you cast
And I weep for those in the dark
I can't sleep when we are apart
So come on home
Faithfully call you mine
Whisper me words divine in my ear
I'm never going back to life without you in fact I
Think I'd rather die

Soul Search
03:27
|
|||
|
I walked the Mason-Dixon
Down to New Orleans
Out in the Rockies
And into Death Valley
I stared up at the stars
Shining way past the moon
Still I keep on searching
For what'll replace you
And I'll walk all night if I can
And do it all, do it all again
And if I should drop where I stand
Just listen so you understand
I tried so hard to let you in
Left a piece of me every place I've been
I tried so hard to let you go
But you keep coming up every place I go
My sheets still smell like you
Your letter's on my desk
My heart is on my sleeve
Your kiss is on my breath
Wasted all my patience
Where am I now?
Where am I now?
Where am I now?
Where am I?

Red River
04:15

Into the mountains I fled
Down to the river running red
When I got this feeling the words gonna end
So I'm gonna sit here, pen in my hand
Feeling for good, feeling for bad
They'll never know the life this soul had
So I'll paint a picture to hang on my wall
And I'll get the feeling the world is so small
Raindrops of oceans fall from the sky
Melt with the waterfalls of my eyes
I'll go pack my bags, but won't pack it all
Feel loose in my mind
Don't fall asleep on me now
I need your warm on my skin
My feathers are sewn in the jacket I left
At your place it seems no one can refill that rift
And I'm hopelessly clinging to every last trace
Of your voice and your skin and the way that you taste
I'll run for the clearing and fall to my knees
I'll soak the soil as my cold heart bleeds
One with the light that shines on the leaves
One with the air that muffles my screams

606 on 24th

606 on 24th, helluva view to the north
Sneak some beers on the roof, close my eyes and reminisce
On the first time we got caught
Drinking a bottle of momma's Scotch
She yelled at me and said, don't become like your dad
Or the girl who haunts my mind
Her memory suppressed by wine
And lines of stuff I swore her I'd never ever do
606 on 24th, where I'm pacing back and forth
So drunk and my mind has wandered too far
Oh, when grandpa got so sick
Took the soonest flight that I could make
He couldn't stand and the life had left his eyes
Said he ain't afraid to go
A feeling I have never come to know
He said goodbye, my little guy, I'll see you soon
606 on 24th, where my innocence has flown out the door
Tried to chase it down, but I tripped and I'm not clean
Stole a pack of 24
From Jeremy next door
The voicemail that he left still makes me laugh
Never liked sobriety
Handcuffed himself and threw away the key
I wish I'd done more to help him now
Don't think I'll ever know why
He pulled the trigger, flew into the sky
I wish that he'd have let me say goodbye

Frost on the peak
Biting my feet
Where can I sleep?
My soul is so weak
Don't wait on me
I'm still so far
Look forward now
Ignore the scars
Shade in the grove
Kissing my nose
Where can I go
Where a warmer wind blows?
I wouldn't dare
Question your silence
But it's here,
So deep and so violent
And I've been so cold
And I've been so cold
Frost on the peak
Biting my feet
Why can't I sleep?
My heart still weeps
They said it would be gone by now
They said it would have healed somehow
I can't tell you to come home
The door's there if you like

For a Second
03:04

|
She tastes like sugar but she cuts like steel
With the sweetest blade I'll ever feel
A scarlet rose in a pool of blood
Is what's left of me when it's said and done
Her hair's the sun and her eyes the sea
I'm a vessel floating through her breeze
She drowned me sober and drowned me clean
With the smoothest drug I've ever seen
Quick she came and quick she went
Now all my love and money's spent
She crashed my car and broke my bed
Now I can't get the girl out of my head
So lock me up and strap me down
As I sweat you out of my system now
I'll shiver in the biting wind
But baby please don't let me in
So darling go and find someone else that you can crush
I'm better off without you as my one and only rush
But I hope I'm for a second on your mind
I hope I'm for a second on your mind
I hope I'm for a second on your mind
I hope I'm for a second on your mind
I hope I'm for a second on your mind
I hope I'm for a second on your mind

Reverie
04:45
|

|
She opened her eyes and said
Am I still dreaming?
And what kind of sky lays ahead
Where the sun's always gleaming?
Oh I hoped that you'd find me here
In this endless night
And I won't let you go my dear,
Not without a fight
Nothing holding us back, my dear
Nothing holding us back, my dear
Nothing holding us back, my dear
Nothing holding us back, my dear
Run with me, wade through the grass
To a place where time doesn't pass
We'll climb up the highest tree
Where no eyes can see
I'll show you my heart my dear
It's truly yours to keep
And we'll chase down waterfalls
And we'll chase down waterfalls
And we'll chase down waterfalls
And we'll chase down waterfalls
Nothing holding us back, my dear
Nothing holding us back, my dear
Nothing holding us back, my dear
Nothing holding us back, my dear
I opened my eyes and said
I'm still dreaming

Coal Mine
03:50
|

|
Back down to a small town
Like a wedding gown
It's been tucked away
You shoulda seen
How hard everything
Fell as we fell to our knees
Like the light had come
And I've been searching for so long
For reasons why
I shouldn't come home
Where you were mine
Slowly walk to the landing
Where we held our dreams
In the palms of our hands
The first time that I saw mine
I jumped at the sight
And we stumbled home
Now I'm here pleading to the barrel of
A loaded gun held by someone
I thought I loved
I thought I loved you
Wish you could hold me
Till the sky bleeds
And the engines seize
And we're stuck for good
Coal beds hot as your head
Will burn a scarlet red
In the depths of our hearts
We'll make sure we gotta good dime
We'll make sure we gotta phone line
We'll make sure we gotta coal mine
We'll make sure we gotta coal mine
We'll make sure that we don't back down

Rabbit Hole
03:27
|
|||
|
Well the whiskey's gone and the lights are on and my
Face is numb
The empty space I've embraced has
Room for one
Headed for the winter all alone
Packing every sweater that I own
This crooked smile had stayed for a while and I hoped
You the same
I rearranged my room so strange to see
If things changed
My demons all still stayed in place
Against my will against my face
Tear a hole in my shoe running from you
When the morning comes like a beating drum I'll here
My own heart
I listen close 'cause it tells the most when I ease
My own guard
I can't help but be concerned
By all the things that I have learned
Seemed to good to be true, that's the truth
Standing fast while the world flies past and I lean
Slowly back
I wet my feet in a stream so sweet but I'm stuck
In the cracks
Fall in water past my chin
Maybe this will be the end
