Never Let You Fall
03:41

|
I walk alone inside this maze
I've been wandering for days
try to help me through this place
you're my only saving grace
whisper something in your ear
pull you in and draw you near
see you smile then you laugh
I hope and pray that this will last
why can't we leave things the way they are
I will never let you fall
even when we stall
never let you fall
Some days you feel you can't go on
I am your rock I will be strong
trust in me I will defend
stay with you until the end
Chorus
I’ve been waiting so long
I just thought you should know
I’ve be here for so long
(if) you want to take it slow
Cause I’ll be here for so long
I think you need to know
I’ve been waiting here for so long
won’t you please come home….

Working Again
03:41
|

As I lie awake at night
And I look up to the sky
I ask the questions why
…Things come to pass this way,
now I listen when you say
That you believe in us
I can’t wait another day
& chance that it’ll pass and fade
I should have know right from the start
My broken down old beat up heart
.. is working again
I ’m sure there’s something I should do
But I’m staying here with you
And watching the sun come up
And as you re lying here with me
I’ll just sit and watch you breathe
I’m taking you in
I know sometimes I may not be strong
And even more times I am wrong
I hope you understand
But Wait, there's more to this here story
I think that I'm just feelin sorry
For myself.... until you showed up

Beer- End Up Here
03:42
|

|
Woke up this morning
Hate the world, you owe me
Putting up with you for years
They’ve all disowned me
You may think that its been long
But even as I sing this song
It ain't really all that bad
Down here ... down here
..And I just keep getting better
We both knew that I'd end up here
So why don't you just pass me my beer
Placid like acid
Why the hell you asking
This ain't nothing new my dear
A train wreck disaster
And as tempting as this might be
You’ll get no guarantee
Been this way for way too long,
For so long
{Chorus}

Still With Me
03:00
|
|||
|
Drove out to your favorite place and I
took a chance and I thought I would wait
Saw you sitting, looking at me ‘cross the room
So I walked up to you – Its all I had to do…
Ooh, Ooh, - when I walked up to you it was all I had to do
Ooh, Ooh, - When I looked in your eyes I knew it was true
Remember that time when we took my car
And we drove and we drove til we drove it too far
Spent the week making castles in the sand
And I guess that its true...
They’ll never understand
Ooh, Ooh, - and they asked us why…. And I said cause we can
Ooh, Ooh, - and I guess that its true, they’ll never understand
People said that it could never be
It was all a big joke and that I’d never see
Don't take yourself too seriously
But I guess that the joke is on them...
cause your still with me
Ooh, Ooh, - and I guess that its true, they’ll never understand
Ooh, Ooh, - and they asked us why…. And I said cause we can

Road Less Traveled
03:41

Micaela, your love for life its sets me free
My little one, someday you'll know just what I mean
I can't lie, its really harder then it seems
Someday soon, you'll know exactly what I mean
The Road Less Traveled isn't always what it seems
And the Road Less Traveled will not always, bring you back to me
My little ones, your innocence it gives me strength
We may fall, but the scars we gain will slowly fade
I don’t want to grow up
I don’t want to slow down
live my life though your dead eyes
I don’t want to grow up
live my life like some big lie
The Road Less Traveled isn't always what it seems
And the Road Less Traveled will not always, bring you back to me
Walk the Road Less Traveled, and you’ll find your inner strength
The Road Less Traveled will not always, bring you back to me

Sometimes
04:19
|

|
Wait, won't you sit with me
I wish you'd wait, there's something you should see
Don't hesitate, your looking right through me
Don't contemplate & read my mind
Breath, its harder then it seems
I don't know why, I suffocate inside
All in my mind
It’s like I make this up to start a fight
Something’s not right
Help me through this time
Sometimes I hate myself
For the things I've done to you
Why can't I forgive myself?
I'm sure its been long for you
Sometimes I scare myself
Wondering what else can I do?
What I think I need right now
Is to know that you love me too
Pray, its all that’s left to do
I guess I’ll pray
Perhaps I'll find my way out of this state
I'm looking for a sign, don't hesitate
To lead the blind
Help me through this time
{Chorus}
Then there's moments, when I wake up,
And I think that I'm not bad
And I Thank God, I'm alive and well
And for all the time we had
Then I tell myself, that I'm stronger
And love will set us free
But who knew then.. you'd be looking through me

One Last Song
04:41
|
|||
|
I'm sorry, I screwed it up again
didn't mean to, I just don’t understand
I'm sorry, my mind's a messed up place
Not that you could know, I over compensate
I said that I'd be with you 'til the end
And that I'd always be your superman
But lately I just find the days too long
I'll sing you one last song
Sorry, I screwed it up again
And just when things started, feeling real again
I said that I'd be with you 'til the end
And that we’d always be the best of friends
I just don't have the strength to carry on
I'll sing you one last song
