Never's Here
04:19
|

Too bad it's all going to end some day
With your luck it's gonna fall apart some way
You knew it would fail even before the start
Well the role is cast and you're just playing the part
But that's what you get when you're your own darkest cloud
What do you expect when you put the lid on now
And it never seems your dreams come true
And you'll never get a better view
Well never, Never's here again
Stuck in a rut so afraid to make your move
You need to turn the page find another groove
If someone came along and showed you had it wrong you know you'd still disapprove
So what's it going to be time for you to choose
So that's what you get
When you won't give fate a chance
What did you expect
When you refuse to choose to dance
and you'll never get that one big break
cuz you'll never learn from one mistake
Well never, Never's here again
And it looks like Never's here again
Yeah it looks like Never's here again
Warm winds never blow to these faraway reaches
The snow never falls on the western beaches
But never, Never's here again
So that's what you get when you're your own darkest cloud
What did you expect when you put the lid on now
And you'll never know how good it gets
If you can't live life without regrets
Well never, Never's here again
And it looks like Never's here again
Yeah it looks like Never's here again
Warm winds never blow to these faraway reaches
The snow never falls on the western beaches
But never, Never's here again

Keep Me in Mind
04:21
|

If I had the answers for you
Do you think you’d want to know what they were?
And if I didn’t ask you questions
Do you think that you’d feel more secure?
And if I didn’t try to show you
How happy you could be
Would you leave a door or window
Cracked open for me?
If I backed myself way off
Stopped the letters and put down the phone
If you weren’t my Facebook friend
If I left you all alone
Would you see that you missed me
A knocking opportunity
Sitting, waiting patiently
‘Til you discover me
So when you take the time to straighten out
Those thoughts in your head
And you’ve mustered up the strength to say
What needs to be said
Take a break and be alone
Relax and unwind
And when you’ve figured out the man you want
I hope you’ll keep me in mind
Oooh keep me mind
So there it is, and now you know it
Guess that I’m your not-so-secret admirer
Seems the all admiration
Is making you so tired
But I can’t help but wonder
What lies ahead these days
So I’ll just take a few steps back
But I can’t walk away
Can’t walk away

Three Words
05:18
|

How do I say what my heart feels
And can I back it up with something real?
Briefness of time tries to deter
But I can’t hide from these three words
It’s like a fire, I feel it burn
A growing storm the waters churn
You know the things I wanna say
This is a game that I can’t play
Three words can
Melt hearts or make promises to broken later and..
Three words mean
Nothing at all
Or everything at once
Thought about it now for some time
Can’t believe out worlds aligned
Get up the nerve to toss the verb
I wanna share with you these loaded words
Three words can
Change friends into lovers or fighters
Three words mean
You built the bridge or you burned it down behind you
The brakes are off Im upshifting
So take my trust and do good things
And if the waters become stirred
Remember me and these three words
I’d like that, thinking about you, I love you
I’d like that, thinking about you, I love you

Making Sense
03:23
|

Up here on The Sound
I miss the sight of you
Out here on this highway
Of liquid green and blue
And sailing slowly on
Another day without a Dawn
The further away I go
The closer I get to you
On the fingers of this island
I miss the touch of you
As I look across the strait
Of my narrow views
As I wander and I roam
At the furthest point from home
From here each mile I drive
Brings me closer to you
I sense that things are goining change round here
I can feel that you're gonna make my worries disappear
I know that I haven't been easy to figure out
But the smell of fear gone
I can't wait to see my Dawn
Cuz its time I move along
And come home to you
Think it's time for me to start
Thinking about your patient heart
Took some time to be apart
To bring my senses round
Ooo it all makes sense now

Everything
05:28
|

On the verge of giving up
On all I thought we had
Don’t know if I’m angry still
Seems to me that I’m just mostly sad
How do I let go and never hope to love you again?
Why do I hang on when all you want is a friend?
How do I feel the world through a heart that isn’t mine?
How do I believe that I can trust the hands of time?
Started off so easy
But reality sometimes makes it tough
So what’s your plan for your life now
When everything you want ain’t enough?
It ain’t enough
Was a time you burned for me
But things were different then
There was a place where we were safe
Wish that we could go there once again
How do I let go and never hope to love you again?
Why do I hang on when all you want is a friend?
How do I feel the world through a heart that isn’t mine?
How do I believe that I can trust the hands of time?
Started off so easy
But reality sometimes makes it tough
So what’s your plan for your life now
When everything you want ain’t enough?
It ain’t enough
Sun is rising once again
But the morning seems so cold
Used to be much warmer when
You would let yourself just lose control
How do I let go and never hope to love you again?
Why do I hang on when all you want is a friend?
How do I feel the world through a heart that isn’t mine?
How do I believe that I can trust the hands of time?
Started off so easy
But reality sometimes makes it tough
So what’s your plan for your life now
When everything you want ain’t enough?
It ain’t enough

Wait All Night
03:40
|
|||
You and me got something in common
Some kind of sick phenomenon here
Look for the broken and break ourselves fixing them
Thinking the connection’s sincere
Me and you got this rut we get into
Gets harder every time to get out
But we stay in the game like a moth chasing flame
And the focus of the deeply devout
We wait all night
By the Phone
We couldn’t feel
More alone
Always the last one to know
We wait all night
We wait all night
She and him got their own space they’re in
But we’re oblivious to the signs
It’s been a long hard day so I’m turning in early
They cast excuses we bite the lines
He and her got their own shit to stir
Deception’s goin’ out on a date
Our duplicitous lovers and insignificant others
Making fools of you and me as we wait
Wait all night
Play the part
Hold all the pain in our hearts
We got this down to an art
We wait all night
Wait all night
Not this time
Give me your hand and we’ll climb
Out of this dark to the light
We wait all night
We wait all night
We wait all night
By the Phone
We couldn’t feel
More alone
Always the last one to know
We wait all night
We wait all night

Back from Carolina
04:49
|
|||
Cold Mountain on the screen
Our hearts were feeling strong
When we gonna go back there
You said I’ve waited for so long
To take a man like you back home
To meet the family
To show them how I love you so
And how much you love me
CHORUS
The leaves on the trees were falling down
Making a carpet of red and brown
Along that misty mountaintop
Where you left you childhood days
The girl I knew got lost out there
And I don’t know where to find her
Won’t you please bring your heart
Back from Carolina
Shoulda been a happy trip
One filled with memories
Instead the house was haunted with
Ghosts only you could see
I didn’t mean to hurt you then
I wish you hadn’t played along
Before I knew it I was every man
Who ever did you wrong
[CHORUS]
Half a dozen bottles gone
Bags heavier by far
We dragged our broken spirits home
And wondered what went wrong
Was it worth the time you spent just to fuel a few more songs
Can you still remember me or is the fire in your heart gone?
[CHORUS]
The leaves on the trees are green out here
Pretty much all through the year
Along that misty coastline
Where you live your life today
The girl I knew found home right here
With the people who truly love her
Won’t you please bring your heart
Home to California

Close at Heart
03:11
|

Remember when you used to be so sweet?
Yeah when it came to cute you were hard to beat
But now you're a teenage Know-it-all
I'm drivin' you, you're drivin' me right up the wall
You aim to disrepect like it's your right
Rolling your eyes at me just out of spite
You're going to push the boundaries that you know
I'll give you freedom to roam as long as you don't go
Far away
Don't go
Faraway from my heart
Don't go
Far away
Faraway from my heart
Drop me off at school, but don't expect a hug from me
Stop trying to be cool, you know you're just embarrassing me
Give me money for my lunch, empty out your wallter again
Don't bother me now, I'm busy texting all of my friends
They say you won't be back til 17
So I've four more years of this routine
But underneath it all you're still my girl
And for you I'd endure all the pain in the world
Far away
Don't go
Faraway from my heart
Don't go
Far away
Faraway from my heart

Back to the Dream
03:54
|
|||
The sun peeked through the bedroom window
The Zzz’s still in my head
Until the dog jumped on the bed
And just like that the story ended
No chance for final chapters
No Happy Ever After
But it seemed so real
Like everything I feel when I’m awake [G]
And if I just knew how
Well I would sleep forever now
If I could only see you again
Get me back to the dream
Where my fantasies seemed real
And you felt the way I feel
Dream
To stay asleep I’m gonna fight
I can’t wait until tonight
So I can dream
Down the hall a shade is opened
To greet another dawn
Time can’t help but move along
She wonders if he’ll even notice
The way she curled her hair
Special perfume in the air
But she just can’t stop
Stop thinkin’ bout the way that it could be
So she’s gonna drop
A not-so-subtle hint
That says stay here with me
Back to the dream
We pass most every day
Can’t get out of our own way
Dream
'stead of dreaming all night through
Wanna be awake with you
And not just dream
Dream
I dream that I can fly, that I can play a mean guitar
You dream you can be comfortable with you the way you are
Dream all the fantasies you want to come to life
And maybe you want have to dream to be with me tonight
Dream
We're gonna bring this dream
Bring this dream to life
We’re gonna stay awake
Stay awake all night

Another year
Another candle on your birthday cake
Another tear of pride
Rolls down my sentimental face
I can’t help it if you move me
With just a smile
For seven years now
You’ve been makin’ every day worthwhile
Just one more snapshot
One more video to share
Can’t miss the miss the goofy faces
Gotta love your crazy hair
[CHORUS]
Yes it’s true
I wanna spend my days watchin’ over you
Cos Daddy’s love for his girl never dies
If it’s alright
I’m gonna tuck you in once again tonight
And wake up to your footsteps at sunrise
You bring my songs to life
You’re off to school
You’re off and running, climbing, reading now
Sharing your knowledge
With your friends who try but don’t know how
The great musician takes the stage
To grace us with her sound
The western rider
Saddles up and rides her pony ‘round
Just one more snapshot
One more video of you
I’ll be there for all your firsts
And I’ll bring a camera too!
CHORUS
Let’s go to Disneyland
And you can ask are we there yet
Let’s go to anywhere where you can leave all soaking wet
Let’s always promise to make history in our own time
Save all the memories up and some day we can press rewind
Just more snapshot
One more video on screen
100,000 images before you turn 18
CHORUS
You bring my songs to life
You bring my songs to life
Youbring my songs to life
