Dying Days

I left home a long, long time ago
In a tin can for the road with a suitcase and some songs
Crossing miles through the nighttime making tracks
With no time for looking back
To the place where I belong

How these days grow long
But I’m on my way back home
It’s been hard to be away
How I miss you
And I just wanna kiss you
And I’m gonna love you ‘til my dying day
How these days grow long

When you’re sad you know I wish I could be there
To make your sorrow disappear
And set your troubles free
It’s not fair for me to be this far from you
But I promise to stay true
Wherever I might be

Time keeps burning
Wheels keep on turning
Sometimes I feel I'm wasting my days
How I miss you
And I just wanna kiss you
And I’m gonna love you ‘til my dying day
How these days grow long
Time keeps burning on
How these days grow long

Now I'm lost in a sea of sunken dreams
While the sound of drunken screams
Echoes in the night
But I know all of this will come to pass
I’ll be with you at last
Forever by your side

How these days grow long
But I’m on my way back home
It’s been hard to be away
How I miss you
And I just wanna kiss you
And I’m gonna love you ‘til my dying day

Time keeps burning
Wheels keep on turning
Sometimes I feel I’m wasting my days
How I miss you
And I just want to kiss you
And I am gonna love you 'til my dying day
How these days grow long

Times keeps burning on
How these days grow long
Times keeps burning on
How these days grow long[b]

That Year

Must have been sleeping
Must have been drinking
Haven’t been dreamin’ about you for years

It was a short term
And a sunburn
I was too cool
For high school
That year

Must have been New Years
No one invited you
You took things too far
But I miss you
And your antics
You were lonesome
And blue-eyed
And so special to us

You should have taken a long break
Instead of a long drop
From a high place
Ten years I never spoke your name
Now it feels good to say that
You’re my friend again

He said he forgave you
I said I hated you
He was the bigger man
I was 16
All the innocence it took
Well I guess you finally made the yearbook
That year...that year

You should have taken a long break
Instead of a long drop
Instead of a leap of faith
Ten years I never spoke your name
Now it feels good to say that
You’re my friend again
You’re my friend again

I was angry
I was a Baptist
I was a daughter
I was wrong...

Looking Out

I went out looking for the answers
And never left my town
I'm no good at understanding
But I'm good at standing ground

And when I asked a corner preacher
I couldn't hear him for my youth
some people get religion
some people get the truth
i never get the truth
i never get the truth

I know the darkness falls on you
and it's just a part of you
When you're outside looking in
You can belong to someone
When you feel like giving in
and the coming of the end
Like your heart could break in two
Someone loves you

I laid a suitcase on my chest
so I could feel somebody's weight
And I laid you to rest
just to feel the give and take

I've got a new interpretation
and it's a better point of view
you were looking for a landslide
i was looking out for you
i was looking out for you
someone's looking out for you

I know the darkness pulls on you
And it's just a part of you
when you're outside looking in
you can belong to someone
when you feel like giving in
and the coming of the end
like your heart could break in two

Someone loves you.

I am afraid of crossing lines
I am afraid of flying blind
Afraid of inquiring minds
Afraid of being left behind

I close my eyes, I think of you
I take a step, I think of you
I catch my breath, I think of you
I cannot rest, I think of you
My one and only wrecking ball
And you're crashing through my walls

When you're outside looking in
You can belong to someone
When you feel like giving in
and the coming of the end
When your heart could break in two
someone loves you

Before it Breaks

Around here,its the hardest time of year
waking up,the days are even gone.
will the collar on my coat,lord help me killing off the cold
will the raindrops sting my eyes or keep them closed

but I'm feeling no pain,only the lonely
and my quietest friend,have i the moonlight,have i let you in?
say it ain't so,say I'm happy again...

Chorus
say its over,say I'm dreaming
say I'm better than you left me,
say you're sorry,i can take it.
say you'll wait,say you wont
say you love me say you don't,
i can make my own mistakes
let it bend before it breaks

I'm alright,don't i always seem to be?
aren't i swinging on the stars,
don't i wear them on my sleeves?
but when your looking for a crossroads,
it happens everyday,and whichever way you turn
I'm gonna turn the other way

Chorus

Dreams

Dreams, I have dreams when I'm awake when I'm asleep
And you, you are in my Dreams
You're underneath my skin, how am I so weak

And now in my dreams,
I can feel the way, I can just come clean
I keep it to myself, I know what it means
I can't have you, Well I have dreams

How long, can you hold your breath?
Can you count to ten, can you let it pass
To keep, can you keep it in
Keep it behind lashes, can you make it last

And now in my dreams, I could feel the way
I can just come clean

I keep it to myself, I know what it means
I can't have you, Well I have dreams
Oh, I have dreams, I have dreams

Mind, can you read my mind
Is it come undone, am I showin signs

And now, in my dreams
I can feel the wait, I can just complete
I keep it to myself, I know what it means
I can't have you, Well I have dreams
I have dreams, I have, I have, I have Dreams

If There Was No You

When I see myself
I'm seeing you too
as long as I remember
feeling like I knew
my jokes aren't funny
the truth isn't true
if there was no you

if you were my boat
in the deep blue sea
I'd probably sink you down
I know I should have thanked you
for carrying me
but for you I would happily drown

and all along your way
the darkest night
the longest day
I know what to say
to make you laugh
and nothing you could do
could make me turn my back on you
when you're looking for a fight
I'm your man
when you need a friend
you got my hand

and what I mean
What I'm tryin' hard to say
Is that I'm counting on you
and you got me too
my secrets aren't safe
my singing out of tune
if there was no you
if there was no you

All along your way
the darkest night
the longest day
I know what to say to make you laugh
and nothing you could do
could make me turn my back on you
when you're looking for a fight
I'm your man
when you need a friend
you got my hand
when you need a friend
you got my hand
you got my hand

Touching The Ground

i swear when we touched i saw heaven in your eyes
and jewel studded clouds floating in your skies
seas of blue and fields of green
looking like you fell out of someone's dream

why do my troubles turn true
whenever i rest my eyes on you
why must my heartache be found
wherever your feet are touching the ground

you could sing an army of angels to sleep
with songs that could cause the devil to weep
you hold me so sweet when the day is done
enough to make you wonder where we all come from

ch

now those eyes are filling with rain
bringing me misery causing me pain
curse these shackles you put on me
blessed be the day when you set me free

ch

my heartache will be found
wherever your feet are touching the ground

Oh Dear

Oh dear, I’m here
Everybody stumbles on fear
Who cares if we’re scared
Everyone is on their own

It’s only you that my heart desires
Only you alone can know my pain
All alone you were sitting there
Folding pages for your paper chain

Now you can cut me free
So when it all unfolds
We’ll be holding hands
And go on, together you and I forever

Heartbreaks, mistakes
Catching up to me in odd ways
I know of partings
And my share of lonely nights

It’s only you that my heart desires
Only you alone can break my fall
I pace the floor and I wish for more
While you were dreaming with your paper dolls

Now you can cut me free
Forever say goodbye
And we’ll be holding hands
And no more together you and I forever

Oh dear, I’m here
Everybody stumbles on fear
Who cares if you’re scared
Everyone is on their own
Oh dear

Caroline

I woke up long after dawn
twenty years had come and gone
I know when it changed for me
the day in june you came for me

I'm seen through someone elses eyes
With nothing on the other side
every motel, every town
pieces scattered all around
promises that I can't be
so much heart that I cant keep
takes so long I couldn't speak
roads so rugged I can't sleep
but i've seen things so beautiful
all around this broken world
pale in comparison to you

CHORUS:
Caroline
I'm on my way back home to you
Imagine what I'm going through
without you by my side
its been a long long time
oh won't you say a prayer for me
I hope you will remember me
you're always on my mind
my caroline

I have seen the Canyonlands
crooked lines like in your hands
You'd swear the earth was split in two
I wouldn't lie I promise you
I have seen it, you will too
You could not believe it if not for
photographs I took for you
Caroline
they built towers to the sky
it hurt so much to watch them try
they run themselves into the ground
and I know you will love them
and their city lights and city sounds
there is beauty in the struggle
any time or feeling get me down
i see you smiling

CHORUS

Now I have seen things in the sky
stars and lights and birds and I
I've been rocky mountain high
And I've told them all about you
because you are still the only thing
that constantly amazes me
I love the road and I've been blessed
But I love you best

CHORUS

Pride & Joy

Time of day I can't recall
the kind of thing that takes it's toll
over years and over time
over smiles and over wine
all in all it wasn't bad
all in all it wasn't good
but I still care

that's the problem with the days
they're never long enough to say
what it is you never said
all the books you never read
I throw myself into the wind
hoping somebody will pick me up
and carry me again

where are you now?
do you let me down?
do you make me grieve for you?
do I make you proud?
do you get me now?
am I your pride & joy?

I believe this to be true
nothing sacred, nothing new
no one tells you when its time
there are no warnings, only signs
and you know that you're alone
you're not a child anymore
but you're still scared

all your mountains turn to rocks
all your oceans turn to drops
they are nothing like you thought
can't be something your not
life is not a looking glass
don't get tangled in your past
like I am learning not to

where are you now?
do you let me down?
do you make me grieve for you?
do i make you proud?
do you get me now?
am I your pride & joy?

I Will
t's not the end of the world.
It's not even over, but it will be soon.
I never learned my lessons, I just changed my tune.
No one seems to notice, but you will- you will

It's no big deal
You're the last thing I think of when I close my eyes.
And the first thing on my mind when I rise for my day
And you're already in my mind

You can try, & you won't find me where you're lookin'
You can't own it til it's finally in your hands.
You can't break a heart that wasn't even yours to break
You could never be there for me in the end
But, I will do the right thing

I will, I will, I will.
I will, I will, I will

You're not fooling me
I'm not the sorta girl who can't see reason
But, it's nothing that a little bit of time won't heal
I know it don't come easy, but I love you. I do

Coming clean means never closing curtains
I just change my scene
Oh but you know what I mean
And I learned throughout my life to never lean on will bend

You can try, but you won't find ime where you're lookin'
I can't hold it til it's finally in my hands
And I can't break a heart that wasn't even yours to break
You can never be that lonely in the end
But, I will 'do the right thing.

I will. I will. I....will.
I will. I will. I....will.

I don't think you ever learned a thing from me,
and I'm sure that you want me to learn from you.
And you draw heavy handed lines around morality
about yourself and I don't share your point of view.

It's been time to let you go.
A thousand times we'll never know
But it has to be the one that you regret
I have to say that I'm proud to know you
And I'll never be the same because of you.
You might not miss this.

But, I will. I will. I...will.
I will. I will. I... will.
I will. I will. I...will.
I will. I will. I...will.
