Night Drives

VERSE 1
Watching from the wings
For silence and it stings
Like a caged bird it sings
A melody
Keep your mind at bay
With a song of yesterday
While memories tessellate
Inside of me
CHORUS
I know that this road’s disappearing from sight,
But I’m waiting for daylight
Your face in the mirror, the scars on your skin,
The lines on the pavement when twilight grew dim,
Facing the sunset when our time grew thin
And I’d just get lost in
Night drives.
VERSE 2
Voices fade so fast
When you cut the cord at last
I never should have asked
For your name
Run down back streets and see
The light break through the trees
Now that summer’s gone and we
Are not the same
CHORUS
Don’t leave me to die
I can’t leave the limelight
When it burns, burns so bright
On the side of my mind
You can run, but you can’t hide
From what you’ve said fireside
But you can drive, you can drive
As far as you can lie
As far you can lie
CHORUS

VERSE 1
Keep your hands clean and yourself right
As you walk through the door and on through life
But when you come back, you just might
Be able cut the air with a butter knife
You’d kill for some kindness, but you might find
What you need’s always hangin’ on a lifeline
You can beat your heart, but not the signs
Come morning you won’t be fine
CHORUS
Wait, wait for the dawn to come
But the sun ain’t risin’ ‘til the lyin’s done
Hate, hate, but you cannot run
‘Cause your legs can’t carry what your mind’s become
VERSE 2
Hear the whip of jealousy
Go crack, snap back and then you’ll see
You can’t stop feeling, or else you’ll be
As good as dead or on repeat
Feel the pulse of the rhythm underneath you feet
As you stroll right through down the backstreets
To the place where honesty and lies meet
And then you will be free
CHORUS

Way Out
05:10

VERSE 1
Of you, I am mindlessly dreaming all night
But fear of heights keeps me from flying too high
I won’t look down, I’ll keep myself up here somehow
Love’s unforgiving, as we grow to be
As we shed our youth slowly and move to the sea
But maybe, just maybe that’s where you’ll meet me
CHORUS
It was lost but I found it,
The ground that I’m standing’s surrounded
Can you hear me? I’m screaming
The secrets we’re keeping are unfounded
Don’t fight against the cold hand of time tonight,
Just come with me, everything will be all right
‘Cause I’m looking for a way out
Looking for a way out now
VERSE 2
I can’t remember when your name didn’t taste like wine on my lips
I kept my composure while I took the hits
I was rolling with the punches of a thousand midnight fights
With my own mind
You can read my words, darling, but you can’t find the meaning
When your heart’s turned away from the desire to lean in
And stay for a while, my river runs wild
When you walk by
CHORUS

I Am the Flood
04:35
|
|||
VERSE 1
You can fight, you can fight
Against the strong tide
But you can’t go diving in a sea of white lies
You’ve come so far, and you’ve tried so hard
But it’s not enough
When the sharks start swimming
And the waves get rough
CHORUS
I am the flood
And you are the levee
And I’m taking you with me
We are the bad blood
That you cannot wash off
No matter how hard you try
We’re paralyzed
VERSE 2
The light’s gone out, the flame has gone
The spark from the fire that kept us warm
Wait for morning. Run away from the same place
That kept you safe, kept you safe
CHORUS

Saturdays
03:34
|
|||
VERSE 1
Know yourself, and forget what you know
Know yourself, and forget what you know
CHORUS
There’s no way to put up a fight
When midnight feelings take flight
Be what be, come what may,
I’ll be waiting in Saturdays
VERSE 2
Cut at the vines and the roots of jealousy
Cut at the vines and the roots of jealousy

VERSE 1
Hanging onto sunlight
Like shining diamonds in my mind
They spark before they shimmer
Waking, taking back time
For other days to feed the lies
While each new one grows thinner
Laugh the morning away
While you run from place to place to save
This well from running dry
It’s something you’d never say
That we should spend more of our days
Together before this dies
CHORUS
Can you hear the sound, the melody
Of all the things we dream
They wake us from our sleep,
All the old secrets we keep
But we don’t have the time
To just pretend we’re fine
You and I, in it through life,
Will try to stop ourselves from getting older
VERSE 2
Settle down, you’ll scare yourself
Right out of your own skin
Before you start to shiver
Speak your mind, free at last
From all the things that kept the past
In your mirror
Stay awake at night, let fireflies
Be your guide
As we fight a stronger tide
To stay young and full of love
While gray skies and goodbyes
Keep our hands tied
CHORUS
