Hope

I get lost running circles in my mind
But that’s the cost of living the dream as you and I
All our friends are growing up, some are going grey
But look at us we haven’t aged a day
Hope, I got hope
That you will always be there at the end of my rope
As long as I’ve got you to take this journey on with me
There’s nothing else that I could ever need
We got enough gas to keep this tin can on the road
Just enough cash so let the bills pile up at home
All our friends are busy saving up for rainy days
We wouldn’t have this any other way
Hope I got hope
That you will always be there at the end of my rope
As long as I’ve got you to take this journey on with me
There’s nothing else that I could ever need
All our friends are busy waiting for that rainy day
Hope, I got hope
That you will always be there at the end of my rope
As long as I’ve got you to take this journey on with me
There’s nothing else that I could ever
Hope, I got hope
That you will always be there at the end of my rope
As long as I’ve got you to take this journey on with me
There’s nothing else that I could ever need

Love You the Best
03:28

You opened up when I was guarded
You were the spark to light the fire in my chest
My heart had hardened
You lifted every burden when you said
I wanna love you the best not just better
Cause I think this love could stand the test of time
I wanna love you the best in changing weather
To forfeit all this love would be a crime
You’re my spark, my validation
There’s an art to how we go about this life
So have no reservations
Cause I will be the one to paint you starry nights
And love you the best not just better
Cause I think this love could stand the test of time
I wanna love you the best in changing weather
To forfeit all this love would be a crime
I don’t claim to have perfect reputation
I’m just asking can we take this from the start
I understand your hesitation
I’ll fight your fears to heal your broken heart
And love you the best not just better
Cause I think this love could stand the test of time
I wanna love you the best not just better
To forfeit all this love would be a crime
I wanna love you the best in changing weather
To forfeit all this love would be a crime
I wanna love you the best

The Moth
03:11

I’m just a speck on the ground
While you got you head in the clouds
Don’t come down for nothing
Don’t come down for nothing
We won’t let a day go to waste
But honey you’re stuck in one place
So I’ll come running
I’ll come running
I’ll come running your way
I’ll run til you take my cares away
Don’t hide away in the Shade
I’ll dodge the rain as I chase the light
As it’s fading
The light as it’s fading
Oh the light it may fade
It’s destined to come back again
Your golden rays are what it takes
To get me through the day
I pass the time alone at night
Withering away
Won’t you break the day
Darlin’ you keep my desire
You’re drawing this Moth to the fire
So I’ll keep burning
I’ll keep burning
We didn’t let a day go to waste
And I’m so close I can taste it
And I’ll keep running
I’ll keep running
I’ll keep running your way
I’ll run til the clouds break the day

Through the Night
03:34
|

|
I never catch the bus on time
My friends complain they can’t rely
On me to be in a present state of mind
They always say I’m too spaced out
I’m turning left in a roundabout
Despite my best intentions
To sharpen my attention
I’m so long gone from every going right
But you hold on without a doubt
That everything will all turn out just fine
And it gets me through the night
Dark days when we’re down on our luck
And I feel like giving up
Even through rain you shine
You keep burning bright
And it gets me through the night
Haters say we’re opposites
The two of us could never fit
Your sunny side won’t let ‘em get me down
I’m making this decision to change my disposition
And I’ll hold on without a doubt
That everything will all work out just fine
And it gets me through the night
Dark days when we’re down on our luck
And I feel like giving up Even through rain you shine
You keep burning bright
And it gets me through the night

Can't Hold the Light
03:53
|

|
We’ll tangle you up in the fabric of time
It’s cozy and warm and suits you just fine
Oh come and make your home
Watching you grow discover new things
Scraping of knees and swinging porch swings
Oh come and make your home
I’m gonna make it better before I go
Counting the days down into dust
Trying to keep your world soft and just
You can’t hide from darkness
You can’t hold the light
Crunching the October snow with your feet
Dressed like a zombie on Wishingwell Street
Then we go home
Blood sugar rush, your heart on the mend
Hiding from monsters real and pretend
When we’re home
I’ll leave a little light on when I go
Counting the days down into dust
Trying to keep your world soft and just
You can’t hide from darkness
You can’t hold the light
Counting the days until the one
You go your own way and my work is done
Can’t hide from darkness
Can’t hold the light
Can’t hold the light
We’ll tangle you up in the fabric of time
It’s cozy and warm and suits you just fine

Home is Worth the Blues
03:42
|
|||
|
Baby I’ve been gone
I don’t see no sunsets coming home
The darkness and the distance got me torn
Between the lonely and the brave
Maybe all this time
Is wasted on these endless highway lines
Swerving in and out of people’s lives
Each night
It’ll all make sense
The miles that we travel is all the evidence
It’s a long way to your soul from my shoes
Please home be worth these blues
Put the past away
Everybody’s chasing yesterday
Standing in the lineup for their grave
We don’t have to live that way
Hold off on grief
There’s an old and narrow road straight through the trees
That’s where I’ve been planting all our dreams
For you and me
It’ll all make sense
The miles that we travel is all the evidence
It’s a long way to your soul from my shoes
Please home be worth these blues

Lovers Do
02:58

Walk with me when you’re feeling blue
Talk with me like lovers do
There’s nobody who knows me like you do
We fit the way that lovers do
Why Can’t we be
Like a picture on the screen
Why can’t I through to you
Like lovers do
Sing with me and I’ll be true
Dance with me like lovers do
Can’t you see that I need you
Hold me dear like lovers do
Why Can’t we be
Like a picture on the screen
Why can’t I through to you
Like lovers do
Why Can’t we be
Like a picture on the screen
Why can’t I through to you
Like lovers do

Cold London Air
03:33
|
|||
|
In those New York City Streets you took my breath away
The hills in France that face the Alps linger on my mind
Through the mist and rain of that London day
I’d give it all to find a way To see you there, one last time
You change your mind like the needle on a weathervane I fall in line like a bullet from a gun For a moment in time, together we wander I can still see your breath in the cold London air Still see your breath in that cold London air
Through all these petty fights do you still feel the same A part of me still wants to be the centre of your plans Through the snow and rain on that winter day, you took off like a hurricane You washed me clean from your hands
You changed your mind like the needle on a weathervane I fell in line like a bullet from a gun For a moment in time, together we wandered I can still see your breath in the cold London air Still see your breath in that cold London

Comes Around
03:14

I carried you home under streetlight
You’d have never made it on your own
I swear I’ve been drunk for the last time
Tomorrow I’ll leave it alone
I bet they’re still talking about it
How you danced on a table and fell on your ass
I know you’re sick of I’m sorry
This won’t be the first or the last
Just rest your head on my shoulder
As the snow falls gently to the ground
And we’ll start again when you’re sober
And another day comes around
Sometimes I think I keep screwing up
Just to feel you forgive me and hold me this tight
If you’re testing the limits of my love
I’m staying with you tonight
Just rest your head on my shoulder
As the snow falls gently to the ground
And we’ll start again when you’re sober
And another day comes around
I’m sorry You owe me
Why are we laughing about it In the morning
You’re still gonna owe me
But don’t worry about it for now
Just rest your head on my shoulder
As the snow falls gently to the ground
And we’ll start again when you’re sober
And another day comes around

Never is an awfully long time
Waiting here for you
Saving all of my time
For one faint glimpse of you
Of you, you, of you
Never is awfully long time
To focus all I do
I’m losing the will
To hold on to you
To you, you, to you
Underneath the starry skies
You chose to fly
And throw the thimble from your hand
As time goes by
I forget more and more
of who I was when all of this began
With you
You x7
Never is an awfully long time
