Breathe

Can I tell you a story
about morning glory
creation unfolds, before us
but the dark and the madness
the pain and the sadness
can keep us from looking, around us
Wild flowers grown on the mountain side
the sun is coming up, as do you and I
before I try to wrap my mind around this world surrounding me
I stop, and breathe
I spend all night dreaming
about what I've been missing
wandering through this maze called life
I've been counting my blessing
life's been teaching me lessons
We might not be perfect, but we'll all get by
Chorus
I wanted to sleep my pain away
but my consequences are here to stay
I will begin again today, again today, again today
Chorus

Follow You
03:24
|
|||
If you ask me where I'm going today
No it wouldn't be clear
I wouldn't know what to say
I barely can see what's in front of my eyes
Got my vision blurred
Have no effort to try
I don't know where
I don't know where
I don't know I'm going (x2)
But I'm gunna follow you (x4)
It's like I'm stuck in just a second to late
And I'm waking from
One mess of a day
Could I be looking for the thing I must do
Thought I had it all
But I'm search for something new
Chorus
My soul is weak, but I will seek
Something more to make me feel complete (x3)
But where do I begin
Chorus x2

Leaving This City
04:02
|
|||
I'm coming to another fork in the road
They're gunna make me chose
My failure and fear mixing in my head
Thinking if I'll win or lose
I can't make up my mind
Stressing trying to get it right
But the conveyor belt is moving and we're getting so close
My reaction is it fight or flight
Will you still hold me tight
I'm leaving this city
Your hearts in my hand
I'm leaving this city
Don't know when we'll meet again
But now that I'm leaving
Hope you understand
If I get back
I'll be a better man
I don't know why it's gotta be this way
Tell me who's side are you on?
Now I'm stuck singing 'bout courage
And how I'm gunna move along
You don't show the answer or give me the right questions
Maybe there's nothing to figure out
I've been stuck in this cage, ready to rage
Ready to ride my doubt
Ready to scream and...SHOUT

Make It There
03:36
|
|||
If at first you don't succeed
Don't give up just try again
If the thorns make you bleed
Don't be afraid the pain will end
Some day, some day
Some day we'll make it home to a place where pain in gone
I pray, I pray
That you'll be there waiting for me
Yeah we're gunna make it there
Oh we're gunna make it there
Yeah we're gunna make it there
Whoa
'cause if we make it there
We can make it anywhere
We can make it anywhere
Whoa
Stop looking at your mistakes
You only need to learn from there
Just when you wanna hit the brakes
Remember your so close to when
On that day, that day
That day we'll make it back to the place where love is found
I pray, I pray
That you'll save a space next to you
Chorus
I'm gunna make it there (I'm gunna make it there) x2
We're gunna me it there (We're gunna make it there) x2
Chorus

Back In August
04:50
|
|||
Look at my hands
I think you'll understand
That I don't have no money
Open your eyes
I think you'll be more than surprised
That life still is sunny
(Pre-Chorus)
I didn't think it would be
I didn't know or believe
I didn't think it would be, this good
Look at the time
I'd say we'll make it just fine
Sure we'll be a little late
But that doesn't matter
As long as we have each other
We can laugh at our fate
Pre-Chorus
Back in August
My whole world turned upside down
Surrounded by all this
Negativity I was belittling my own thoughts
Let's just be honest
I don't want to seem like I got it all
Back In August
I found out that every summer, needs a fall
Yes I was mad
And other times I was sad
That I didn't have a place
When things fall through
Here's a thing you should do
Do the best that you can
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Ba-da-da-da-da's

Moonlight
04:17
|
|||
I'm headed north
Away from this town
Away from the memories
you left around
I'm only twenty something
World's still in my reach
My bags are packed
And I'm ready to go
But as you look at my
Ask for one second more
I look in your eyes
Reach out my hand and say
Run away with me
Into the moonlight
I see our new life, I see our new life
In the moonlight
I see new life
Tired of running
Down this empty road
Of past decisions
So it's time to go
It's just you and me
Let's run away while we can
I stop and think
As everything fades
It's been two years
Since I've seen your face
When you looked in my eyes
and said
Chorus
When I'm staring into space
Everything fits into place
as I'm looking at the moon
All I see is your face
All the moments we shared
All the memories we made
Are the stars that shine
But in the morning they fade away, away
Chorus x2

Dark Room
04:23
|
|||
If we get in a fight today
I'll say I never liked you anyway
And you'll probably tell me all the same
Picking fights over little things
Tear us apart just so it seems
That our love is only but a game
In this dark room
What would you do
Would you say what
You've always meant to
In this dark room
When it's just you
Would you say the things
You didn't know how to
In this dark room
Colorado never knew about
All the feelings I didn't let out
Kept it could like the Rocky Mountain tops
Tried to figure out what to say
Times ticking 'till you go away
Try so hard, but it never stops
Chorus
I'm ready but I'm not
I remembered but I forgot
I love you but it's hard to
When you don't have the words to say
So in this dark room
I will try to
Say everything
That I meant to
In this dark room
When it's just you
I'll say all the things
That I didn't know how to

Someone
03:48
|
|||
You see him on your drive home
Knowing he can't pay for his own
You get caught at the light
and try to keep him out of sight
You say money wouldn't help him
He would only use it on something wrong
But you can give him more than money
Give him the feeling that he belongs
I don't want to speak for everyone
Maybe I should speak for myself
But I think all we want to be
Is someone, to someone else
You're headed off to class
See that girl you always pass
And you're trying to catch up with friends
But she doesn't have a single one of them
They laugh and call her loser
She's starting to believe them now
But you know that she matters
and you can be the one to show her how
Chorus
Life it goes so fast
Seems the minutes never last
You get so caught up in it all
that there's the person you never say
You thought you were so good
But let the smoke and mirrors clear
Your life could change only if you would
Notice the person in the mirror
Chorus

As It Is
03:42
|
|||
I see a lot in this world that needs changing
So many things that I want to improve
I'm so afraid of the world staying the same
I wish that everyone could get up and move
But I, am, one person
I'm getting, ahead, of myself
I'm not here to fix all the problems I see
Cross them off my list
I'm here to love the world not as I want it
But I need to take it as it is
I need to take it as it is
We have a crisis about every minute
It seems that bad news always has that day
People losing faith in their neighbor, if only
We could do something to make fear go away
But I, am, one person
I'm getting, ahead, of myself
Chorus
It's so hard to love
What we don't understand
But it's not enough
To sit back and pretend
Like going on
Trying to make right what it wrong
Even though the road is long
We'll keep on moving on
Yeah we'll keep on moving on
We'll keep on moving on
Chorus

Living Room
05:05
|
|||
Wake up and take a breath
Try not to think about my college debt
Pick up the news at the corner store
Hope I run into friends, remind me of what I'm living for
Turn the corner on firth avenue
And I remember the last time I heard from you
That person I've moved beyond, almost made it home
But it's still a long road up ahead
'Cause I'm sitting here in my living room
Trying to devise the words to say to you
Will I keep them in and just grow cold
Or I can write them down and sing a tune
This song could help me pull through
No I never see this getting old
Singing the story of my life untold
Something you can't explain
It just seems easier to complain
The more I ignore it, the more it grows
Give it a face, so I can face my foes
They say my songs are too emotional
Tell me when did we all lose our souls
It just helps me get past the past
And be right here at last (at last)
Chorus
I think we call have a story
For some it's tough to spell out
I don't know why they say life is boring
Life a journey, we fill it with a sound
Chorus

The Journeyer
03:35
|
|||
I take the first step
From my broken past
Trying out my new disguise
Feel safe behind my mask
Hid the inside
Of who I am
And Everything I want to be
Please set me free
It's in the falling down
That's where our hope is found
To get up again
With two feet on the ground
I realize who I really am
I climb the first peak
Of my second chance
I lost my third right
They march forth and advance
Not far behind
Trying to tell me who I am
And everything I want to be
Along this Journey
Chorus
Let it in, let it go
Let it in, let it go (x8)
Chorus

I'm picking my head off the ground
I'm laying all my troubles down
Not being picky with what I'm dealt
I'm feeling better than I ever felt
And oh I'm still learning
That this life is a journey
And on my heart is burning
It's burning for you
I try to rationalize the fear
But no more I'm seeing clear
I know at times I might lose sight
You provide me with the light
Chorus
And oh I'm still learning
That life is a journey
And I hope my heart stays burning
Burning for you
Burning for you
