You've got everything you've ever wanted, sitting in one beat-up old red Ford
You're too busy looking in that rear view, to realize you've got all you're lookin' for.
I'm watching all this gravel settle on me, on the front porch of what you call home
Waitin' on the man I once bragged about, to be here but to leave me all alone
You used to swear you were the lucky one, I could tell in the way your blue eyes shined
Now I feel I'm always looking behind me, waiting for that girl to cross your mind
She was a fast thing, a one time fling
Turned forever in your mind
I'm here now, but there's no tellin' how
Long I'm gonna keep waiting
She was a heartbreak, a big mistake
You can't stop talking about
I'm here now, but there's no tellin' how
Long I'm gonna keep on waiting
How long are you gonna leave me hanging?
You're sending me down old 29, singing songs that you used to sing to me
Now I feel like there's nothing on this road, but the remains of your broken memories
I know now, if I walked away you may chase me, you may swear to walk the line
But if this all you have ever wanted, why is it only on your drunken time?
I feel your past's shadow overhead now, falling on your yard--it's about to pour
The dogs are barkin', and you're just talkin', about someone who's not around anymore.
She was a fast thing, a one time fling
Turned forever in your mind
I'm here now, but there's no tellin' how
Long I'm gonna keep waiting
She was a heartbreak, a big mistake
You can't stop talking about
I'm here now, but there's no tellin' how
Long I'm gonna keep on waiting
How long are you gonna leave me hanging?

Bring Me to You.
Wrapped up in just a tee
Laughing at you laughing at me
Standing in the doorway to my bed
Pictures hangin' on the walls
But I'm hanging on your words
The smile's the hook, line and sink on a look
I guess these are broke down walls
And maybe the light held you just right
And maybe it's the falling words you said
I lied
On crumpled sheets, on empty lines,
In your heat
I found
Something I knew
And now I can't breathe in your moment with me
And now I'm loving what you do
You bring me to you
Perhaps when we look back
We'll appreaciate this past
Standing in the doorway to my bed
I couldn't stop that smile
I couldn't hold you in
Your hands were the line, I sang through the passing of time
I guess you were the song stuck in my head
And maybe we loved a little too loose
And maybe these lyrics can say it right.
I lied
On crumpled sheets, on empty lines,
In your heat
I found
Something I knew
And now I can't breathe in your moment with me
And now I'm loving what you do
You bring me to you
Laughing at you laughing at me
Standing in the doorway to my bed
Pictures hangin' on the walls
But I'm hanging on your words
The smile's the hook, line and sink on a look
I guess these are broke down walls
And maybe the light held you just right
And maybe it's the falling words you said
I lied
On crumpled sheets, on empty lines,
In your heat
I found
Something I knew
And now I can't breathe in your moment with me
And now I'm loving what you do
You bring me to you
Perhaps when we look back
We'll appreaciate this past
Standing in the doorway to my bed
I couldn't stop that smile
I couldn't hold you in
Your hands were the line, I sang through the passing of time
I guess you were the song stuck in my head
And maybe we loved a little too loose
And maybe these lyrics can say it right.
I lied
On crumpled sheets, on empty lines,
In your heat
I found
Something I knew
And now I can't breathe in your moment with me
And now I'm loving what you do
You bring me to you
These Waves.
I haven't felt this sun before
Who knew you held it in your arms?
This relief, this post-breaking point
Brings me singing ot my knees
A sense of glow warms my skin
Just like I'm laying on your beach
I'm lying in your sands, your hands, your pull
This could be a perfect memory
These waves
I kept floating in between
Now I'm high on salty foam
Now I'm breaking in the reach
Of these waves
And I finally found my peak
Please don't let this perfect power
Come crashing down on me
These waves
This moment reflects in your light
As if I'm underneath the sea
A billion sparkling dips and dives brought me here
Brought me to fresh air, untangled from the reef
These waves
I kept floating in between
Now I'm high on salty foam
Now I'm breaking in the reach
Of these waves
And I finally found my peak
Please don't let this perfect power
Come crashing down on me
These waves
Who knew you held it in your arms?
This relief, this post-breaking point
Brings me singing ot my knees
A sense of glow warms my skin
Just like I'm laying on your beach
I'm lying in your sands, your hands, your pull
This could be a perfect memory
These waves
I kept floating in between
Now I'm high on salty foam
Now I'm breaking in the reach
Of these waves
And I finally found my peak
Please don't let this perfect power
Come crashing down on me
These waves
This moment reflects in your light
As if I'm underneath the sea
A billion sparkling dips and dives brought me here
Brought me to fresh air, untangled from the reef
These waves
I kept floating in between
Now I'm high on salty foam
Now I'm breaking in the reach
Of these waves
And I finally found my peak
Please don't let this perfect power
Come crashing down on me
These waves
Lights, clear
His eyes are begging for answers
They question, they ask
They beg for anything
For a something that I don't know
I look away
I can't keep my gaze
His eyes--they flash
Into my very empty soul
I can't even answer my own eyes
They keep looking within me
But I'm so nervous
I shake in the stares
I stutter int he silence
Beg me, beg me, beg me again
I have no answers for empty prayers
He listens
My hands crease the lines and my sweat smears the ink and I can't think
Only read as blank as the paper
A break--another--
My breaths--they stagger--
I take--each word--
It's isolated--alone.
I took this whole piece and I lost its peace
I broke it into pieces
It'll never be whole
If only I knew how to answer
His eyes
If only I knew how to answer
His eyes
If only he'd give me his answers instead of his questions and if only I could let go of my own two feet
I don't know how to speak--or stand.
Now I'm shaking hands, praying in pats
On the back for "good job," "well said," and "well spoken"
I did not give you answers and I did not give you questions
I just saw his eyes
His eyes are begging for answers
They question, they ask
They beg for anything
For a something that I don't know
I look away
I can't keep my gaze
His eyes--they flash
Into my very empty soul
I can't even answer my own eyes
They keep looking within me
But I'm so nervous
I shake in the stares
I stutter int he silence
Beg me, beg me, beg me again
I have no answers for empty prayers
He listens
My hands crease the lines and my sweat smears the ink and I can't think
Only read as blank as the paper
A break--another--
My breaths--they stagger--
I take--each word--
It's isolated--alone.
I took this whole piece and I lost its peace
I broke it into pieces
It'll never be whole
If only I knew how to answer
His eyes
If only I knew how to answer
His eyes
If only he'd give me his answers instead of his questions and if only I could let go of my own two feet
I don't know how to speak--or stand.
Now I'm shaking hands, praying in pats
On the back for "good job," "well said," and "well spoken"
I did not give you answers and I did not give you questions
I just saw his eyes
Our Song.
You're wonderin' if you belong
And I feel like I'm fighting your past
You don't want us to be another sad song
But baby, I feel we're burnin' like a match
You broke down these words
My lines have all dried
Now you're wonderin' if you should say goodbye
Maybe this isn't like the movies
Maybe we won't find our happy end
But you sing all the slow songs, in the dark, when I feel wrong'd
That let me know nothing's too bad
Can't you just sing it again?
You know there's nothing as cold
As an empty pen, bed, and a bottle of Jack
You and I, we've only had songs to hold
when we're lying down what all we can't take back
You're lost in a dark laugh
I'm smilin' under covers
Why are we so lost in old lovers?
Maybe this isn't like the movies
Maybe we won't find our happy end
But you sing all the slow songs, in the dark, when I feel wrong'd
That let me know nothing's too bad
Can't you just sing it again?
And so what if our song brings us to our knees?
So what if all these old lines don't have everything we need?
We're moving someone, something
I'd rather hurt than not feel anything
Maybe this isn't like the movies
Maybe we won't find our happy end
But you sing all the slow songs, in the dark, when I feel wrong'd
That let me know nothing's too bad
Can't you just sing it again?
And I feel like I'm fighting your past
You don't want us to be another sad song
But baby, I feel we're burnin' like a match
You broke down these words
My lines have all dried
Now you're wonderin' if you should say goodbye
Maybe this isn't like the movies
Maybe we won't find our happy end
But you sing all the slow songs, in the dark, when I feel wrong'd
That let me know nothing's too bad
Can't you just sing it again?
