Please Just Stay
03:15
|

Started out with nothing/ nothing but a name
And came from nowhere/ from where everybody came
Was promised sunshine/ but I only felt the rain
I need you/ Please just stay
Then I saw an old friend/ from Upper Michigan
He said “I’ve got to get going”/ but he started from the end
Now he’s somewhere that he knows he’s never been
He needed some help from a friend
All I need
The things I thought I needed/ were really things I needed least
All I need
The things that I’ve been dreaming/ oh I wish that you could see
On my knees
On my knees
You can’t make a moment/ last forever babe
It kind of hurts to know and/ it breaks my heart to say
I think I love you/ if you don’t love me thats okay
But I need you/ please just stay

It's Just Life
03:23

Its not real its not fair/ nothing about it
Its too holy we’re too scared/ no way around it
Its so simple/ It ain’t simple/ its just life
A candle on a cake/ A candle for a light
Will both be blown out/ by the end of tonight
One for celebration/ one to shine a light
Show you your way/ get you home through the night
Its so simple/ It ain’t simple/ Its just life
Its so heavy Its too light/ I can’t hold it
I tried running/ I tried putting up a fight
Its so simple/ It ain’t simple/ Its just life
A candle on a cake/ A candle for a light
Will both be blown out/ by the end of tonight
One for celebration/ one to shine a light
Show you your way/ get you home through the night
Its so simple/ It ain’t simple/ Its just life

Something Better
03:19
|

I’m past the border line with you
And you’re on your knees again
Until I find another you
You just turn your head/ and Ill be right here
And maybe someday I/ I’ll find a light in you
Maybe someday I’ll search for something better than you
The time for waiting’s come and gone
Now you’re just a lyric in my lame love song
Until we walk a mile or two
You’ll be here for me/ I’ll be here for you
And maybe someday I/ I’ll find a light in you
Maybe someday I’ll search for something better than you
You know you’re killing me
With your laugh/ with your smile
I’ll be right here
For today/ for a while
But for now ill have to settle/ for your smile
And maybe someday I/ I’ll find a light in you
Maybe someday I’ll search for something better
Yeah I could search for something good
I wouldn’t search for something better if I could

When it Rains
02:38

There's a reason why I held you in my arms
I just don’t know what the reason is/ its all the same
and each time I look into my soul
I find a piece of you from way back when/ that I can’t change
When it rains/ I hear each single drop spell out your name
When it rains
I feel your skin while pulling down the blinds
To keep the light from coming in/ It’s all the same
And I feel your stare while trying to make a joke
To keep from getting hurt again/ I can’t change
I can’t change/ I spend each minute wishing back the days
I can’t Change
Each time I look into my soul
I find a piece of you from way back when
Each time I look into my soul
I find a piece of you from way back when

Vices
03:06

Everybody that you’ve ever met has been a sinner
From the start were taught that we can all be fucking winners
Have a good mind/ be kind/ every day that goes by
Will be better than the last
Keep a clean mind/ show up on time/ listen to your mother
And the time goes fast
How are you doing?
How are you handling your vices these days?
Last time I heard
You were getting a little carried away
Lost your girl and now you feel like you should find another
You can never find a tree you want to spend the whole day under
Reading books and drinking coffee looking at the sky
Just wondering whats next
Smoke a cigarette and wander round the park
Looking for people to call friends
How are you doing?
How are you handling your vices these days?
Last time I heard
You were getting a little carried away
why should I have to change for you?
Why should I have have to change for you?
Why do I have to change anything for anyone/ for you?
Everybody that you’ve ever met has been a sinner
From the start were taught that we can all be fucking winners

Stared up the road with nothing more
Than just a few thoughts in my head
Had wicked dreams the night before
That kept me up all night in bed
And the things that I’ve been dreaming are the things
I should be working on instead
I took your picture off the shelf/ I couldn’t count on anyone
I had to do it by myself/ And I thought about it too
I don’t see myself in you/ the way you see yourself in me
Drove to the lake and turned around
Thats all there is to do around here
Then build a house and settle down
Not out of love but out of fear
the things that you’ve been fearing
Should all work themselves out come this time next year
I took your picture off the shelf/ I couldn’t count on anyone
I had to do it by myself/ And I thought about it too
I don’t see myself in you/ the way you see yourself in me
I took your picture off the shelf/ I couldn’t count on anyone
I had to do it by myself/ And I thought about it too
I don’t see myself in you/ And I thought about it too
I don’t see myself in you/ And I thought about it too
I don’t see myself in you/ the way you see yourself in me

Let Her Know
03:00
|

I felt cold when I stepped outside
Felt the moon in the winter sky
Michigan is the reason why
California seems so nice
I felt cold when I stepped outside
If you see her let her know
I felt the sun when I stepped outside of my mind
Been trying to leave that cold dark place behind
If you see her let her know
Ill be gone for a month or so
I felt the sun when I stepped outside
If you see her let her know
Let her know
Im gonna pack a bag of nothing gonna take it down the road
To Colorado maybe start a family build a little home
Ill make my children read the Bible
After life they’ll have nowhere to go
If you see her let her know
Don’t you look into her eyes/ don’t you look into her eyes
When she looks into your eyes
She’ll grab your heart/ take it by surprise
The kind of move that’ll make you feel so low
If you see her let her know

Wherever You Are
03:57
|

Heard your voice in the back of my mind/ for a year till I told you so
You spend nights alone just wondering where you want to go
As the days go by it gets harder to try/ it gets hard just to feel alright
Just cause you’re breathing don’t mean that you’re even alive
But I promise that you’ll see the sunrise wherever you are
Wherever you are
with love in your mind and a tear in your eye you felt hurt for the very first time
When you find your savior it don’t mean that you will survive
But I promise that you’ll see the sunrise wherever you are
Just because you’re alive doesn’t mean that you know who you are
Know who you are
But I promise that you’ll see the sunrise wherever you are
Just because you’re alive doesn’t mean that you know who you are
so count all the stars in the sky don’t forget one
I bet it will take you a long/ take you a long time
Just because you have friends doesn’t mean that you know who they are
because I told all my friends that someday we’d be right where we are
Be right where we are

Close to You
03:44
|
|||
I broke my arm/ trying to push your pride
I should have known/ before I even tried
You tried to set me up/ then set me aside
Without a warning/ without a sign
It shouldn’t feel so frigid cold in mid July
I shouldn’t feel so damn unsure/ to feel alright
If you’re leaving/ take me along
Ill keep you close/ Write you in a song
You can be the hero/ you could soldier on
Tell me I’m crazy/ but you could have it all
Why do we have to go through hell to see the light?
Always wondering whats on the other side
Shaking like a Newborn child
Trying to get close to you
It hurts to look back I know
