Verse:
Take another drink.
It’s all you can do.
And try not to think, on how to get through.
And I’d never thought I’d see you this way.
You were always the one who’d, get me through my day.
Chorus:
Not moving forward, just moving back.
Being without you, is like a heart attack.
And I’ll always remember that pretty smile.
So I’ll pour a drink and just stay here awhile.
Verse:
So bottle up the pain.
Hide it all away.
No-one ever told you, but you do it all anyway.
And you can turn the corner, looking in the past.
But it’ll all just fade away cause you’re going to fast.
Chorus:
Not moving forward, just moving back.
Being without you, is like a heart attack.
And I’ll always remember that pretty smile.
So I’ll pour a drink and just stay here awhile.

Follow Me

|
Chorus:
I don’t sing for just anyone.
I sing for the brokenhearted.
In a life where there’s just so much to give.
And I don’t write from a place of darkness.
I’ll write from a place of change.
And if you feel, heavy hearted, follow me.
Follow Me.
Verse:
I was once someone who left it all up to chance.
Tried dancing with the devil, when I was young to find nothing in it.
You say you wanna feel again, and everything’s so messed up.
Well I’m singing this song out of a place of love.
You’ve been discouraged and misheard, and spit into words.
By those dirty verbs, scums of people’s lies.
It’s time to lift up those voices.
Pick up my guitar, we’ll sing it through the night, alright.
Chorus:
And I don’t write from a place of darkness.
I’ll write from a place of change.
And if you feel, heavy hearted, follow me.
Follow Me.
Verse:
We may not share the same believes.
But I think we can all agree.
Change starts when you’re set free from all of your grief, so.
If it’s loosing someone, breaking apart, filling out those papers, or dressing the part.
In the end I’ve learned you gotta live it all out.
Push back the fear.
Grab your guitars with me, one more time let’s sing along and shout.
Chorus:
I don’t sing for just anyone.
I sing for the brokenhearted.
In a life where there’s just so much to give.
And I don’t write from a place of darkness.
I’ll write from a place of change.
And if you feel, heavy hearted, follow me.
Follow Me.

Verse:
Throw it all away, for yourself.
Or let it all create, your little hell.
Not much left to say, oh can’t you tell.
Cause I was never one to play all these silly games.
Chorus:
It’s just old news.
What I’m going through.
Will I ever choose?
How to live or loose.
Verse:
And I’ll never throw it all away, for myself.
And I’ll never to create my own little hell.
Cause there’s so much left to say, oh can’t you tell.
And I was never one to play all of their silly games.
Chorus:

What I’m going through.
Will I ever choose?
How to live or loose.

Verse:
I wake up at noon, and put on my shoes, and head out for a drive.
It's the same old news, you're listening to, so I'll turn it off to thrive.
Traffic comes to, and I'm thinking of you, coming down the 405.
A message comes through, at 1:22, and this is my reply.
Chorus:
Take a look at your heart,
Understand where it starts,
Never forget you're the only one I love.
It's written in the stars,
And we've played our part,
Never thought I'd fall for your fine art.
Your fine art.
Verse:
There was something in the way you looked at me, on that night.
And I couldn't help but talk to you, my oh my.
And as we headed out to the backyard where the stars lit up the night.
You took my hand and you held it tight as this was my reply.
Chorus:
Take a look at your heart,
Understand where it starts,
Never forget you're the only one I love.
It's written in the stars,
And we've played our part,
Never thought I'd fall for your fine art.
Your fine art.

Verse:
I’ve been through it all.
But you still stick right next to me.
Oh how could it be, avoided catastrophe.
And no one ever could, do it the way that you do.
You’re sticking on through, and I’m gonna too.
Chorus:
Baby, oh, won’t you stay.
In these arms, safe from harm.
And any day, or anyway I’ll get it right.
So no need to cry, I’m sticking by your side.
Verse:
And don’t shed no tears.
Honey, I’m never leaving you.
And that’s the truth, I’ve said it two-in-two.
And you’ll never have to say.
I miss you, where you going away?
Cause you’ll be my girl.
I’ll be your world.
Chorus:
Baby, oh, won’t you stay.
In these arms, safe from harm.

Back to Life

|
Verse:
And you’ll hear it all.
From the ones that you love most.
We just wanna see you get a job, grow up, and get old.
But I’m being honest, that’s a little dull for my taste.
I’d rather go and risk it all.
And learn from my mistakes.
Chorus:
Believe me, when I’m, on the ground.
Feeling lost, when I’m, surely found.
We can get through this if we try.
Re-create everything, and bring it all back to life.
Verse:
Don’t be someone that you’re not.
Never fake your truth.
Remember who you are, and who you’re becoming too.
And you can be honest, about the path that you take.
Understand when you risk it all, you gotta learn from your mistakes.
Bridge:
And I’ve been wasting my own time.
Trying to figure out my own life.
How to change is something that’ll always sound so strange.
And I’ve been trying to get it right.
While staying up almost every night.
And will it change?
Only time will tell, that’s time.
Chorus:
Believe me, when I’m, on the ground.
Feeling lost, when I’m, surely found.
We can get through this if we try.
Re-create everything, and bring it all back to life.

Walk Away

Verse:
I’d never thought you would leave me.
Guess I was in over my head.
Over my head.
And it’s never too easy.
Loving someone who doesn’t understand.
Oh, doesn’t understand.
Chorus:
And I was trying to let you come in.
But you were always too busy then.
Making our lives complicated.
Oh you sound like someone I used to.
Know but, now she’s gone away.
And you don’t know what you’re gonna say.
Happy to spend all my yesterday.
With someone who could leave and walk away.
Verse:
And I’m doing fine on my own.
Writing songs bout how I felt, so alone.
So alone.
And you can hear it on your radio.
Lets talk love, and how it’s beautiful.
Yeah, it’s beautiful.
Chorus:
And I was trying to let you come in.
But you were always too busy then.
Making our lives complicated.
Oh you sound like someone I used to.
Know but, now she’s gone away.
And you don’t know what you’re gonna say.
Happy to spend all my yesterday.
With someone who could leave and walk away.

Another Love Letter
03:52
|
|||
|
Verse:
We sat in my car, for what seemed like hours.
And you ask me how I felt, and I held back like a coward.
And you told me you were done, with my excuses.
And that you’re gone, oh, I’m going through it.
Chorus:
If I could take it all back, I don’t think that I would.
Communication we lacked, left me misunderstood.
I wouldn’t lie if I said that I’m missing you.
But this is isn’t another love letter I’m trying to send to you.
Verse:
And I’m moving on, from everything you said all went wrong.
Cause you know it’s done, when you don’t even wanna talk to the one you want.
So I’ll find the one.
The one who needs me like a guitar needs a strum, or like a cold beer needs a sun, but.
Chorus:
If I could take it all back, I don’t think that I would.
Communication we lacked, left me misunderstood.
Bridge:
And these late night drives and cigarette vibes have left me feeling tongue tied.
And when I looked into your eyes on your couch that night.
I couldn’t help but think I was alive, but.
Chorus:
If I could take it all back, I don’t think that I would.
Communication we lacked, left me misunderstood.
I wouldn’t lie if I said that I’m missing you.
But this is isn’t another love letter I’m trying to send to you.

Blemish

Verse:
I’ve been waiting on a call.
To fix myself.
No help at all, like dust on a shelf.
And these city lights, mean more to me now.
And these questions I have, are hided with clout.
Chorus:
Am I searching the wrong places?
Am I looking at something true?
How will I ever continue?
With no motivation at due.
Are you searching for something real?
Being stuck in the past.
You say you’re ready for change.
Just wait till time goes fast.
Verse:
And you’re waiting on a call.
To fix yourself.
No help at all, we’re dust on a shelf.
And those city lights, mean more to us now.
And those questions we have, we’re covered in clout.
Chorus:
Am I searching the wrong places?
Am I looking at something true?
How will I ever continue?
With no motivation at due.
Are you searching for something real?
Being stuck in the past.
You say you’re ready for change.
Just wait till time goes fast.

Verse:
Rain falls on your windowsill, on a Sunday afternoon.
The week has past, we made it last.
Chorus:
Goodbye June.
Verse:
The neighbors cars, their green grass yards, reflect my heart.
My lonely heart.
Clouds roll in, I feel it coming.
And the wind, brushes on your skin.
Bridge:
I don’t know where you are, but I’ll sing this song for you.
I got an aching heart, that’s only fit for two.
And when the sun comes out, I’ll no longer have to shout your name.
Your name.
And I don’t know who you are.
You don’t know me too.
And when that sun comes out, I’ll be singing goodbye June.
Chorus:
Goodbye June, goodbye June.
When that sun comes out, I’ll be singing goodbye June.
Goodbye June, goodbye June.
When that sun comes out, I’ll be singing goodbye June.
