We all need, someone there when we break
We all leave, some things in our wake
But I won’t hold you back
We all feel, too much for our own sake
And we all heal, so slow that it aches
But I won’t hold you back
And in the morning, when I get to calling
Will you see that hummingbird,
Hanging on every word that I don’t say?
We’ll be okay
We all fake, our own ways to look strong
And we all take, years to get it wrong
But I won’t hold you back
And in the morning, when I get to calling
Will you see that hummingbird,
Hanging on every word that I don’t say?
We’ll be okay
We’ll be okay

To The Light
03:24
|
|||
|
Hold on to your bets
We ain’t finished yet
And we’ll play until, the break of dawn.
Gather up your songs
It won’t take too long
And we’ll sing ‘em, to the rising sun.
To the light, I’ll be running
To the light, I’ll be running.
The birds that you hear
As the trees reappear
Will carry us, to our homes.
So walk and walk strong
Find another song
Sing something, that we’ll all love.
To the light, I’ll be running
To the light, I’ll be running.
To the light, I’ll be running.
To shine it on the promise to be found.
The words that you hold
Close to your bones
Will never be undone.
So gather up your songs
It won’t take too long
And we’ll sing ‘em, to the rising sun.
To the light, I’ll be running
To the light, I’ll be running.
To the light, I’ll be running.
To the light, I’ll be running.
To shine it on the promise to be found.

Standing In The Snow
03:38
|
|||
|
When the calling of your name
Don’t quite sound the same
And the whole damned town you know
Is lining up for the snow
Will you take it as it comes
Or will you turn like me and run?
And when the lightning breaks your stare
Will I be standing there?
There…
Are you twisted like a vine
Too strong now to unwind?
Or will you fall like your long brown hair?
And will I be standing there?
There…
Will I be standing there…?

Hole In The Head
04:11
|
|||
|
When the ice melts and the water runs through your door
And you can’t feel your feet or the floor
And I lie, waiting for the call
To say that it’s been and she’s gone
Cause I need it, I need it, I need it…
Like a hole in the head.
What was that word that you said?
It wasn’t love and I couldn’t get it out of my head
It wasn’t love and it wasn’t what you meant
But you said it, you said it and it hangs there
And I need it, I need it, I need it…
Like a hole in the head.
All night sitting ‘round the living room frowning
Under the weight of a lie that is drowning both of us
Yeah both of us, let it out.
And I need it, I need it, I need it…
Like a hole in the head.

You’ve had a lot to say,
Since you moved away
And your words they fall down on this town like rain
And you’ve got a lot of weight,
For someone out-of-state
Those stories fill our minds like movie screens
And oh, though the world must change
Can we be the same?
Sometimes in the night,
I would think to write
But nothing feels the same come the day
Spring was a rush,
And summer just too much
But I hear you don’t have seasons down your way
And oh, though the world must change
Can we be the same?
Well your letters weren’t enough,
So I am on this bus
I hope that your address is still the same.

To Anyone
02:47
|
|||
|
Let’s agree, to keep these things
Just between, you and me
Well it’s easy, for me you’ll see
Cause guys don’t say, these kinds of things
To anyone, to anyone
When I wake, the whole world quakes
Then I rise, to find my eyes
And I can see, that we’re at an end
Cause I can’t be, a true friend
To anyone, to anyone…
|

Covered in dust, I really must
Get myself home tonight
Cause just between us, it’s you I trust
To make things alright
You carry the weight, with you to bed
And it will keep me down
Cause I’ve been rising, early just like an old man outside of town
My walking is done and I hardly run
In my present state
But I can be found, still covering ground
In this lonely race
You carry the weight, with you to bed
It will keep me down
Cause I’ve been rising, early just like a young man headed to town
So lie with me now, I won’t make a sound
Your breath is all you’ll hear
And slowly you’ll fall, into the thrall
Of all your dreams so near
We carried the weight, with us to bed
And it will keep me down
I won’t go rising, early just like another man leaving town.
No I won’t go rising, early just like another man leaving town.

Believer

I am a believer, in many good things
But you are the only one I know
And I am a receiver, of many fine gifts
But you are the only one I can’t own
And that’s the way it should be
You and I have walked, hundreds of miles
But we’re nowhere near the end
And we could talk, a thousand times
Only to start back up again
And that’s the way it should be
That’s the way it should be
You know that I, will never leave
But you’ll still ask me to stay
You know the lies, that we both weave
Will all be revealed some day
And that’s the way it should be
That’s the way it should be

Rockinghorse
02:52
|
|||
|
When the days go back and forth
Like an old rockinghorse
And time won’t take its course
Just like you thought it would
Come back, come back, to me.
When the lines on the face you wore
Are longer than before
And time won’t take its course,
Just like you thought it should
Come back, come back, to me.
When the streets that you once walked
Won’t carry you like before
Then pick up your tired thoughts
And come to my door
Come back, come back…
Come back, come back, to me.

The TV
03:59
|

|
Did the cavalry not come?
Though the battlefield is won
And the colour of the sun
And your eyes now are one
And I woke up
With the television on
How’s it going to end
When the nights are long again?
And lines are short
Even if you talk at all
And the TV will run
Away with your love
How’s it going to end
In a battle or a friend?
Your eyes will melt
And the sky will fall
And the TV will run
Away with your love
The TV will run
Away with your love
Yeah the TV will run
Away with your love
