V1 - All the love but half the fight
The dreams that linger float through the night
But you don’t listen, you don’t care
You’d trade it in for another day
V2 - What has got you so afraid
Remember this, it’s just a phase
But you don’t listen, you look away
You’d trade it in not to ever have to say
CH - Anything at all
You’d pay big money just to stall
But your currency is meaningless to me
Why pay for distance when talk is free
V3 - …..Why so unclear ?
Pretending that you aren’t even here
It’s getting old then new again
I’d trade it in not to ever have to say

Water Color Words

V1 – Water Color words like raindrops in a glass,
smudges shapes and shades that never last
A treasure in a letter, water color words I can’t make out
How can I forget them if I never even read them?
CH – Less than one year
Less than one day
Less than one minute til I’m
V2 – Dying to be with you lying in my arms
Gone before you got here, fleeting moments in a storm
The road is like a river and the rapids wash you out
And now you’re in a sea where no one sees you
CH – Peace from that great river
Patching holes,
in my heart, goodbye, before hello

COUNTING
This one is about a soul searching friend who has spent his whole life trying to find the thing, the woman, the pet, the friends, the car, the drugs, and keeps coming up empty.
We will be including the acoustic version of this on the album with a plan to release the remix w/ the beat later as a little bonus.
No video ideas yet.
Prodigal son, modern day. A revival.
V1 – He’s lost the sun and now he’s running back after it’s over
Racing the darkness that keeps creepin’ in
He’s lookin’ for escape from demons who lie deep within
Forgets the fire that keeps him on again
CH – You’ll never be alone this may not be what you call home
But can’t you rest for a moment
Gone a shooting star in the night
Another place another day
Instr. Section – then another Chorus
V2 – Counting the times that I have counted on your promises
My love is strong my hope is wearing thin
Can’t fight the current of love’s fear again I feel it pulling
Threat’ning to rush away what might begin
Instr. Outro

Islands

Intro
V1 – You should feel as lucky as an Island, surrounded by a sea of love.
You should be as high as a mountain, lifted by the singing of your praises.
Pre-Chorus -
I … I have tried
I have tried love more
I will sing, I will sing
I will sing your praise more
Interlude and saxiness over Bridge
Pre-Chorus –
I … I will try
I will try love more
I will sing, I will sing
I will sing your praise more
Chorus –
No matter how much I love you, it will never be enough
No matter how much I sing, you may not hear everything
Interlude
V2 – You could burn as brightly as the sun, a burn that lasts beyond today
Bold and brave and beautiful
Just like your name

V1 – Soon you and I will exist in different time zones
While day breaks for you, night will hold me to
The big wild moon
V2 – I cast a wakeful light, unraveling, across the ocean
While you swim in open Spanish waters
Brushing the bright eyes fish
V3 – I spin in a sea of yellow cars, nod off to an organ
In a small church on broadway

V1
Sunshine, be there in the dark for me
Sunshine, when you're there, you're everything
I start dreamin' 'bout your light, when you'll become alive, so I can feel you when you shine on me
V2
Sunshine burn bright when you're next to me
Feels so good it feels like ecstasy
I like to go outside, soakin' up your light, and when I think of you I'll be alright
When I think of you I'll be alright. I'll be alright.
CHORUS
I need it, need your light, Gimme your light
I need it, need your light, Gimme your light
I need it, need your light.
V3
Sunshine light up every path for me
let me feel the love I can-not see
So I can keep myself in line, body soul and mind, I'm euphoric when you shine on me.
V4
Sunshine I might be a bit crazy
but I know it's cuz I need your 'D'
when I get too used to cold
I start to lose my hold, but when I think of you I'll be alright. When I think of you I'll be alright
When I think of you I'll be alright. I'll be alright.
CHORUS
I need it, need your light, Gimme your light
I need it, need your light, Gimme your light
I need it, need your light.

Better Than

Tell me, what could be, better than
Tell me, what could be, better than this
The woods were large, 1984, back when we could wander unsupervised
Train whistles, candy store, snarky little boy, singin' 50 states, that rhyme we hate.
Run and Play, Run and Play
Tell me, what could be, better than
I wish I could go back and get off at the side
White and purple yellow orange, stringin' 'long the highway
I wish I could push pause and be in mid flight
ultimate relief, ultimate defeat
One mind, one place, one line
Wildfire, Wildflower
Before the day grows short, we're sneakin' off the porch
and by the creek we linger to watch, twisting and turning
As it Runs and Plays, Run and Play
Run and Play, as it Runs and Plays
Tell me, what could be, better than this, better than

My brother, won't you follow me? 'way from promised Destiny
I'll push the gas, you hold the wheel. Please don't worry 'bout your next meal
Your words are more than me my friend, that is why we will just pretend
Dreamer, do you sing in key? cuz I'm good, honestly
In the place that I belong, which now I see is wrong
Another peaceful afternoon, think I'll throw on Drake's pink moon
S'ppose I look the other way, oh well, there are other days
Just listen to this song again, only then, we can just pretend
Dreamer, do you sing in key? cuz I'm good, honestly
In the place that I belong, which now I see is wrong
