Night Drives 04:58
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

Rising Sun 03:04
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 BRIDGE CHORUS
4.
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 BRIDGE CHORUS
5.
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 CHORUS

Older 04:36
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
