Winter Song 03:26
Steel grey backdrop Evergreen lily-white treetops Every lull and broken whisper Hides the season in a song That holds reflections Of an incomplete collection That defeats us and then treats us to the promise of a spring Oh the promise of a Spring Without a warning It’ll hit me here some morning And I’ll be forced to dig up memories And images of you Like how I’d wake up To you putting on your makeup And the half drank cup of coffee Still lingerin’ on your breath Oh impressions that you left But you come back in my morning dreams So vividly In conscious sleep Then love’s sun fades and the winter comes A season for a sadder song Sky and Water Always mirroring each other Holding deep and darkest secrets But forced to be apart Their shades of blue Are both trapped and freed inside you When you peak so deep your secrets leak Through the shivers in your spine Oh and shimmers in your eyes But you come back in my morning dreams So vividly In conscious sleep Then love’s sun fades and the winter comes A season for a sadder song A season made for the sadder song

I wrote a resolution Inside my liner notes I said I wouldn’t spend my days Counting them away Hoping your coming home Now all my nights are lonesome No home cooked dinners for two I don’t even care if its vegan girl As long as it was made by you Run away if you can To a far off place or the arms of another man Time spent splittin’ sprits Till it all went up in smoke Baby I’m still waiting on that ghost Now I’m travelin’ down byway Following ol’ Lake Champlain Just me and my good friend they call him Worry I’m thinkin’ I need better company When I get back to Philly Who will be waiting for me? Will you stay away reminiscing With all the people you though you’d be? Run away if you can To a far off place or the arms of another man Time spent splittin’ sprits Till it all went up in smoke Baby I’m still waiting on that ghost I hope one day she’ll see me For all that I’ve become And not just some boy who’s still aching For another heart that’s bound to run Run away if you can To a far off place or the arms of another man Time spent splittin’ sprits Till it all went up in smoke Baby I’m still waiting Baby I’m still waiting Baby I’m still waiting on that ghost

Used to Be 03:21
I am now her used to be A boy that she no longer sees A limit reached a lesson learned A love that’s lost to time I call her up just to let her know Why would I ever let this go And hope to God she holds on tight To the memories we made those nights I know it’s complicated And that’s just not our style Anticipation made a fool of me And I hope I didn’t make you jaded Or become a memory Cause I don’t want to be your used to be Hold on hope all down your road Of everything don’t let that go You might lose love or curse the night But really what’s the point Of letting go what’s really real A towel thrown before the fight A heart that now is iron clad Reflects memories of days we had I know it’s complicated And that’s just not our style Anticipation made a fool of me And I hope I didn’t make you jaded Or become a memory Cause I don’t want to be your used to be I know it’s complicated And that’s just not our style Anticipation made a fool of me And I hope I didn’t make you jaded Or become a memory Cause I don’t want to be your used to be And I know it might be overstated But you’re the one I need And I don’t want to be your used to be Yeah I’m not going to be your used to be

I know That it’s early Would you hold me if I asked you to? Each passing moment holds so much avoiding You’ll hate me when I tell the truth You’ve got a sweet heart Like your momma But she also gave you all her fear You stay away cause you think things will change but You always seem to end up here When you hear That Midnight knockin’ And your road Is hard to see I will wait In anxious devotion Hoping that that road leads back to me I know You’ve found another Who is newer with a bigger name Maybe there’s passion in passing attraction He’ll be someone else to blame For all your boredom And indecision The reason that you always bail You toil and clamber for your favorite hammer That makes all of your problems nails When you hear That Midnight knockin’ And your road Is hard to see I will wait In anxious devotion Hoping that that road leads back to me It aint a gift it’s called the present Don’t dig to deep cause you won’t find anymore Tare off the paper And throw it all away The past is just a present from before I know That this is good-bye And we will never speak again Once in a while I hope you will smile When you hear my voice or see my name When you hear That Midnight knockin’ And your road Is clear to see I’ll be gone Just out there ramblin’ Searching for the path that’s best for me

Merida 03:45
If you run away are you sure that I could find ya Are you afraid that I might stay I’m so tired of these talks we keep on havin’ When will things just go my way And when you turn out The last light In your old home In Pennsylvania Would you shed a tear for the life that you once had Would you pack it up And let it go And hope someday you’ll find it Or will you realize it’s been here all along Oh Marida let me in Give me a place I can begin again And keep all of the promise I have for you Oh Marida would you save me Give me a life that’s worth chasing Cause everything that I’ve been running from Is running too And in ten months tome I know That I will hear from my Marida She’ll tell me stories all about her sun-tanned life And we both know that a heartbeat Travels faster than a jet plane And the soul is not a thing one place can keep So if you end up at a place Where you think That I could find ya Leave a flower and a Picture on my door And all these troubled thoughts I had About my dear Marida Will be a distance in the past I’m looking towards Oh Marida Bring me home To a place we both belong Cause I don’t know what the Hell I’m doing here Oh Marida you aint alone Cause everyone fears the unkown And if you need me I’ll help you find your way back home Oh Marida you aint alone Cause everyone fears the unkown And if you need me I’ll help you find your way back home

I sat down with my momma To the garage To have ourselves a few She’s been smoking Herself a pack away Picked it up at forty-two Wishin’ she could just hit rewind If only she could take it back Before those stressful times Pick yourself up And don’t look back Don’t let you fall behind Have a sip or take a drag If it’ll ease your worried mind But don’t ever take for granted All the problems you don’t have Do what you want And figure out the rest Rainy day Went to a viewing A good friend Who was taken much too soon Black umbrellas Lined around the funeral home Sharing tears with those he knew What if it were me instead of him I wonder what he’d say to me If I could talk to him again Sometimes things just fall apart And there aint nothing you can do Yell and scream and call it quits If it’ll help you make it through And when all of the dust settles Peoples thoughts and prayers will fade Do what you want Do what you want To make it through your day Finding yourself On the borderline Your thoughts start lying to your mind Broken small steps towards what you think you need Determination just to be
