I See Stars 04:01
lyrics

You don’t know me but I know you I recognize you from my life when I was a fool You are everything I wanted to be And you know everything I used to believe You don’t walk a straight line Watch out for the land mines Take me from my manger ‘Cause oh I love the danger in your eyes Could you blow out the lights so… We’ll see stars on the ceiling And butterfly wings on the walls And we’ll hear Whitman crying through the cracks of the the floor Is that the ghost of me Yeah you own your own circus I wanna ride your merry go round and round Until I can remember my mission You can be my father now take my confession I don’t walk a straight line Lost him on a land mine I fell for a stranger But oh I loved the danger in his eyes When he started to cry We saw stars on the ceiling And butterfly wings on the walls And we heard Whitman crying through the cracks of the floor Is that the ghost of us dancing down the hall (La da da’s) You will see their hands raised Tell me who is due praise No one else can save you but G-d I love the questions in your mind I wanna go there tonight Oh yeah We’ll see stars on the ceiling And butterfly wings on the wall And we’ll hear Whitman crying through the cracks of the floor Is that the ghost of me Is that the ghost of you Is that the ghost of me I see stars on the ceiling

Passenger 04:00
lyrics

Butterflies in headlights I never knew they flew at night Or is that you teasing me Am I fickle fortune’s wife Are you along for the ride Or just here for the song I am the passenger And you’re behind the wheel Of the Hurricane Express To far off poppy fields I might sleep to long If you don’t save me I dream I’m chasing her But I’m the passenger Hieroglyphic love notes They wrote for me and you Carved in cobalt mountains Of pain we must move through Are you along for the ride Or just here for the song I am the passenger And you’re behind the wheel Of the Hurricane Express To far off poppy fields I might sleep to long If you don’t save me I dream I’m chasing her I’m born each time I wake up To the great unknown Teach me who and what I am Beneath the bones The heart’s a magic prism Tears reflect the light As we shadow box the demons In this crazy play called Life Are you along for the ride Or just here for the song ‘Cause I’m here for it all (Repeat Chorus) I am the passenger And you’re behind the wheel I’m still chasing her I’m still chasing her I’m still chasing her

4 Hours 03:27
lyrics

I could’ve been your Cinderella But the clocks about to strike So I’ll trade my slipper for some coffee ‘Cause I’m catching the red eye Leave a piece of me in every other town It’s like my heart’s gotta pay a toll just to get around So take your best shot right now (Chorus) You got 4 hours to make me fall 4 hours before I get that wake up Call me sometime That’s what they always say Will you remember my name in 4 hours The air is choppy over Austin A cold front’s on the way And for a moment I get lost in Every word that you say Lay your head on my shoulder ‘cause the seatbelt light is on And hold my hand while you still can At JKF I’m gone But I’ll put your smile in my song Repeat CHORUS I gotta pay my bills and kiss my cat Call my folks, tell them where I’m at Wash my clothes, change my strings There’s never enough time to do everything I need to do ‘Cause there’s another show I’m always running to I’ve got 4 hours to make you fall I’ve got 4 hours to make you love me, one and all Just one time, that’s what I always say Will you remember my name in 4 hours In 4 hours

Heels Over Head 03:54
lyrics
buy track
Some of us never learn Some of us like the burn We’re not looking for an easy way out Some of us can’t be told You see we do it because we’re bored We’re not looking for a higher ground Just for the record I laid it on the table Told him he should call me Knew he wasn’t stable Just for the record it wasn’t meant to last ‘cause I only go for wrecking balls in leather jackets (Chorus) Walk on ice Lose my tread Down another sink hole I have fallen again Best think twice before you leave me for dead I’ll take you down with me I told you I’m heels over head I’m heels over head I’m heels over head Some of us wind it up Some of us - we never let go Living in a state of tension The arrow flies for the heart But I always overshoot the mark Living in another dimension Just for the record I feel it getting heavy Start to push away Go there if he let me Found him on a freeway, everything went faster Gonna hit the storm, I’m a natural disaster Repeat CHORUS You know I’m getting old for this I can no longer let it slide Catch me on the flip side Repeat CHORUS

Something to Look Back On 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Some people play it safe Have nothing to regret Some people don’t take chances I take all I can get I want to have something to look back on I want to have scars that make me smile I want to have a love that lasts forever Even if it lasts a little while When the sky on the horizon is more sunset than dawn I want to have something Something to look back on What’s the point in breathing If you don’t feel every breath And what’s the point in living A life you could forget I want to have something to hold on to I want to have scars that make me smile I want to have a love that lasts forever Even if it lasts a little while When the sky on my horizon is more sunset than dawn I want to have something Something to look back on When I stand at the ocean I dive in When I hear music I sing When I give my heart away I give everything I want to have something to look back on I want to have scars that make me smile I want to have a love that lasts forever Even if it lasts a little while When the sky on the horizon Is more sunset than dawn I want to have something, something to look back on Something to look back on Something to look back on

Everything I Own 03:34
lyrics
buy track
You sheltered me from harm Kept me warm, kept me warm You gave my life to me Set me free, set me free The finest years I ever knew Were all the years I had with you And I would give anything I own Give up my life, my heart, my home I would give everything I own Just to have you back again You taught me how to love What it's of, what it's of You never said too much But still you showed the way And I knew from watching you Nobody else could ever know The part of me that can't let go And I would give anything I own Give up my life, my heart, my home I would give everything I own Just to have you back again Is there someone you know You're loving them so But taking them all for granted You may lose them one day Someone takes them away And they don't hear the words you long to say I would give anything I own Give up my life, my heart, my home I would give everything I own Just to have you back again Just to touch you once again

Soul Quake 03:40
lyrics
buy track
It’s what we call a Soul Quake The first time that your heart breaks I can’t save you from the fall ‘Cause it happens to us all When we’re diving in the deep end And you don’t know where the air went You fight to catch your breath So heavy in your chest Looking for the white light But the way is black as midnight When you finally fall apart You’ll know exactly where you are The middle of a Soul Quake And why it has to happen I don’t know Maybe we all die a little bit Before we grow Closer to the real thing The kind that makes your heart sing Have faith that love abounds There’s enough to go around ‘Cause The world can be a mean place So try to find a clear space When you finally fall apart You’ll know exactly what you are A survivor of a Soul Quake And why it has to happen I don’t know Maybe we all die a little bit Before we grow But I’ll be there to ease your ego sting And I’ll be there to hold your broken things So shake it up, shake it up baby Wake me up, wake me from the lazy Shake it up and make me feel alive From what we call a Soul Quake The first time that your heart breaks And the second and the third You’ll wonder what made you deserve To shake it off the Richter Well try not to be bitter Find the center where you’re safe You won’t get more than you can take That’s the beauty of a Soul Quake It’s what we call a Soul Quake

The Song Will Always Find You 03:31
lyrics
buy track
I played that guitar The one with the stenciled hand As if your art could etch its way into a golden band forever We don’t talk anymore You won’t answer my letter So I’ll sing to you To make myself feel better (Chorus) You can shut me off You can pull the fuse And say you’re disappointed That the music lost the muse But this won’t die I am here to remind you That when I’m long gone The Song will always find you Intention sets in motion A tumbleweed so brash That swerves across the highway Causing innocents to crash and crumble I’m just one on your list We’re wrecked but we’re humbled At least you taught me this Repeat CHORUS We don’t talk anymore You won’t answer my letter So I’ll sing to you To make myself feel better Repeat CHORUS

Idiot Child 04:03

Time is a butcher And just like everyday The blade is gonna fall and we're helpless I don't mean to bum you out But I just gotta say Truth is anything I agree with Don't believe what I say anymore Hang around... I just wanna go home It pays to not know anything at all But your secret's safe with me (Chorus) I am the Idiot Child Gonna pick a brand new fight tonight We all got problems of our own Isn't that so... Isn't that so? Heart is a fugitive Always on the run It's gonna cost somebody to catch it Wait 'til your daddy gets home Promise me you'll wait ’til you're not alone What will you sacrifice to hold me Don't believe what I say anymore Hang around - I just wanna go home It pays to not know anything at all But your secret's safe with me Repeat chorus Lookin' out the window It's not like I remember it But it was sweet of you to wake me I don't mean to kick myself I don't wanna cry I just need someone to believe in me Repeat chorus

Book of Love 02:41
lyrics

The book of love is long and boring No one can lift the damn thing It's full of charts and facts and figures And instructions for dancing But I, I love it when you read to me And you, you can read me anything The book of love has music in it In fact that's where music comes from Some of it is just transcendental Some of it is just really dumb But I, I love it when you sing to me And you, you can sing me anything The book of love is long and boring and written very long ago It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes And things we're all too young to know But I, I love it when you give me things And you, you ought to give me wedding rings I, I love it when you give me things and you, you ought to give me wedding rings

Kiss me now or hold your peace I’ve had enough I’m in love with the way the moon’s aligning We’re gonna take it all the way Awake inside your dream I am So please don’t you sleep while the mercury is rising We’re gonna take it all the way Hey I know you think about it Well don’t just think about it (chorus 1) Here I am come and get it Take me now or just forget about it If you don’t want it I won’t sweat it I got people I can call who tell me I’m wonderful La la la la la la la la la la Hey hey yeah They tell me I’m wonderful Tonight the world has open arms So do I jump inside down my super slide winder We’re gonna take it all the way Don’t you fret, I’ve good intent It’s been a while walked a mile in these thigh high boots to find you We’re gonna take it all the way Hey I know you think about it Well don’t just think about it (chorus 2) Here I am Come and get it Take me now or just forget about it If you don’t want it, I won’t sweat it I got people I can call who tell me I’m wonderful I got a plan You got a problem with it? Don’t talk smack I’ll tell ya where to stick it I got a song – you can sing it I got people we can call who tell me it’s wonderful Hands down new round I won’t beat around it I gotta find out I gotta find out Knock down drag out if you wanna fight it’s all right Yeah Kiss me now or hold your peace I’ve had enough ~ I’m in love REPEAT CHORUS 2 La la la la la la la la la la Hey hey yeah they tell me I’m wonderful La la la la la la la la la la Hey hey yeah I’ll tell you you’re wonderful
