Lyrics

Here For You

It was only for a moment

But it lasted long enough

Though the timing wasn't perfect

But does that ever matter much?

Those endless little details that get noticed from the start

They bring value to those urges while burning in your heart

Oh, when you coming back?

Oh, when you make your move?

Don’t you worry about a thing

I'll be waiting here for you

So I'm not who I'm supposed to be

Or not who you wish I was

In this revolving little circus you can deal with minor flaws

Maybe some discrepancies may boggle up your mind

But nobody is perfect

Especially this guy

So, when you coming back?

Oh, when you make your move?

Don’t you worry about a thing

I'll be waiting here for you

Surprise me

Delight me

The world is a better place when you’re beside me

Surprise me

Delight me

The world is a better place when you’re beside me

Oh, when you coming back?

Oh, when you make your move?

Don’t you worry about a thing

I'll be waiting here for you

Oh, when you coming back?

Oh, when you make your move?

Don’t you worry about a thing

I'll be waiting here for you

Make it Good

Is this the time or the place?

Is it so wrong to assume

That anything I’d say would be taken as good?

With this wrecking yard that I call my heart

Could it take the brunt of a careless one?

Could we try and make it good?

Every word, every sound

Every phrase, every rhyme

Could we try to make it good?

Every kiss, every touch

Every embrace, with any luck

Could we try to make it good?

Silence can be dangerous when we don't say what we should

Could we try to make it good?

When the cost is worth the risk

Do we fight to make it stick?

Should we try and try and try to make it good?

Every word, every sound

Every phrase, every rhyme

Could we try to make it good?

Every kiss, every touch

Every embrace, with any luck

Could we try to make it good?

Silence can be dangerous when we don't say what we should

Could we try and make it good?

Every word, every sound

Every phrase, every rhyme

Could we try to make it good?

Every kiss, every touch

Every embrace, with any luck

Could we try to make it good?

Silence can be dangerous when we don't say what we should

Could we try to make it good?

Is this the time or the place?

Decisions must be made

To try and try and try to make it good

Should we try and try and try to make it

Try and try and try to make it

Try and try and try to make it good

Exodus

I am lost in the dust of my confessions

Scraping my boots

Wiping off all bad decisions

Coming to grips

Accepting the bad and the good

Letting go

Don't care what others think

If a can of worms is waiting

I hope I got the skin that's thick

I'll wear a blanket that's thick as bricks

Wasted time is never good unless you’re waiting for the sun to shine

I can beat my head against the moon

But it’s guaranteed a waste of time

I've been down too long

Staring down an empty hole

Down too long

Fingers crossed in this state of apprehension

Tripping over pebbles that block my destination

Licking my wounds

Starving for what's in store

As the clouds

They start to roll in my direction

I'll seize the opportunity

To let know my intentions are good

If only for a chosen few

Wasted time is never good (Down too long)

Unless you’re waiting for the sun to shine (Down too long)

I can beat my head against the moon (Down too long)

But it’s guaranteed a waste of time (Down too long)

I've been down too long

Staring down an empty hole

Down too long

Left Behind

I jumped the gun

That's right

Does this surprise you?

I think not

Decision was made

Make no mistake, I’m paying the price

Well I believe in what I feel

And what I feel is a need to be so complete

But honestly, it somethow gets the best of me

I don't want to be the one that's left behind

I don't want to be the one that's overlooked

If love is the answer I'll search until I find

The one that will make it all good

With each day that passes by I bend the light

Make it last, keep it bright

But shadows call

They follow me around

Darkness replaces the light

Well, I believe in what I feel

And what I feel is a need to be so complete

But honestly, it sometimes gets the best of me

I don't want to be the one that's left behind

I don't want to be the one that's overlooked

If love is the answer I'll search until I find

The one that will make it all good

I don't want to be the one that's left behind

I don't want to be the one that's overlooked

If love is the answer I'll search until I find

The one that will make it all good

I don't want to be the one that's left behind

I don't want to be the one that's overlooked

If love is the answer I'll search until I find

The one that will make it all good

I don't want to be the one that's left behind

I don't want to be the one that's overlooked

If love is the answer I'll search until I find

The one that will make it all good

How Lucky You Are

You just don't know how lucky you are

The sun shines bright on the fortunate ones

There's a place where love and hate collide

But you’re nowhere to be found

You just don't know how lucky you are

But I do

I know where you're going

I know where you're going

I know where you're going

But I do

I know what you're doing

I know what you're doing

I know what you're doing

But I do

I know where you're going

I know where you're going

I know where you're going

But I do

I know what you're doing

I know what you're doing

I know what you're doing out here tonight

You just don't know how lucky you are

The stars line up for the fortunate ones

The streets are paved with you in mind

No potholes in your line of sight

You just don't know how lucky you are

But I do

I know where you're going

I know where you're going

I know where you're going

Yeah, I do

I know what you're doing

I know what you're doing

I know what you're doing

But I do

I know where you're going

I know where you're going

I know where you're going

Yeah, I do

I know what you're doing

I know what you're doing

I know what you're doing out here tonight

You just don't know how lucky you are

You just don't know how lucky you are

Though bad decisions may steer you wrong

You'll all end up where you belong

You just don't know how lucky you are

But I do

I know where you're going

I know where you're going

I know where you're going

Yeah, I do

I know what you're doing

I know what you're doing

I know what you're doing

Yes, I do

I know where you're going

I know where you're going

I know where you're going

But I do

I know what you're doing

I know what you're doing

I know what you're doing

I do

I know where you're going

I know where you're going

I know where you're going

Yes, I do

I know what you're doing

I know what you're doing

I know what you're doing

Oh, I do

I know where you're going

I know where you're going

I know where you're going

Yes, I do

I know what you're doing

I know what you're doing

I know what you're doing

Rise

There's a light in your eyes

How I try to hold on

I sometimes lose my grip and I fall

The stars collide as I watch you walk by

Breathe in

Breathe out

The fragrance of life

It’s hard to imagine you not by my side

Mercury rises and falls with desire

There's nothing but ache that fuels the fire

So rest your head on my heart and we'll rise so high

So high

I'll build us a home by the waterside

Or a view of a lake on a mountainside

Take our time growing old as we rise so high

Every thought that is thought of is smothered in gold

Everything good

Young and old

It makes for a better life in this world

As the years go by, we master the role

We choose a path

We choose a goal

Adventure awaits this hearty soul

Mercury rises and falls with desire

There's nothing but ache that fuels the fire

So rest your head on my heart and we'll rise so high

So high

I'll build us a home by the waterside

Or a view of a lake on a mountainside

Take our time growing old as we rise so high

Take your time making up your mind

Forget-me-nots are not hard to find

Pull that trigger and let those feelings fly

We'll catch that wave to a different shore

Make our way to a better world

Wear that crown as we try to rise so high

Minutes pass through the hour glass

Summers never seem to last

Years are only memories in our past

Feel that dirt that's beneath our feet

Take a deep breath of the air we breathe

Cherish all those moments as we rise so high

Mercury rises and falls with desire

There's nothing but ache that fuels the fire

So rest your head on my heart and we'll rise so high

So high

I'll build us a home by the waterside

Or a view of a lake on a mountainside

Take our time growing old as we rise so high

So high

Full Circle

When the girls come out to play

That's where I want to be

Knee deep in the revelry

Where the sun makes no mistake

It paints a tapestry in the air we breathe

With the politics of life hanging heavy on my head

And the changes that disrupt my unfashionable ways

It’s so hard to find your place

With the wind tugging at your shoes everyday

It’s not knowing where to go but where you've been

It’s gravity that pulls you back again

It’s a full time job just trying to get settled in

Go hard and take your shot

But I'm where I'm supposed to be

Living with no known boundaries

No roots to slow me down

With my head up in the clouds

A baby in the trees

You can try to pull me down

Drag my dreams across the rocky ground

Blame my raging immaturity

But when all is said and done

And the right evens out the wrong

It’s a victory

It’s not knowing where to go but where you've been

It’s gravity that pulls you back again

It’s a full time job just trying to get settled in

It’s not knowing where to go but where you've been

It’s gravity that pulls you back again

It’s a full time job just trying to get settled in

It’s a curb life

Waiting for your chance at the back of the line

Just Like That

You can say exactly what you want to

I’m really not listening

You can say exactly what you mean to

Your words don’t really mean that much to me

There comes a time you have to say what’s on your mind

Careful with your words

I hate to see you compromised

You can say exactly what you want to

I’m really not listening

You can say exactly what you mean to

Your words don’t really mean that much to me

There comes a time you have to say what’s on your mind

Careful with your words

I hate to see you compromised

Trouble is where trouble goes

And just like that she’s in your arms

You’re in her soul

But never fear

There’s an escape for this dirty rotten soul

And just like that you’re home

You can do exactly what you want to

I’m really not watching you

You can feel exactly how you want to

You’re free to feel the way you do

There comes a time when selfish thoughts erode your mind

An empty shallow hole left out in the cold

You can do exactly what you want to

I’m really not watching you

You can feel exactly how you want to

You’re free to feel the way you do

There comes a time when selfish thoughts erode your mind

An empty shallow hole left out in the cold

Trouble is where trouble goes

And just like that she’s in your arms

You’re in her soul

But never fear

There’s an escape for a dirty rotten soul

And just like that you’re home

Trouble is where trouble goes

And just like that she’s in your arms

In your soul

But never fear

There’s an escape for this dirty rotten soul

And just like that you’re home

Distance In Your Eyes

I hardly know you

I don't recall the introduction

But I distinctively remember all those dreams I had about you

It’s above me in a place that is out of reach

I can confiscate some stepping stones but my efforts come to a screech

Oh no

I can't deal with this distraction any more

I can't deal with simply losing any more

This distance in your eyes is so misleading

So deceiving me

It’s tearing me apart

I hardly blame you

Who am I that turns the keys?

That opens every door

Every opportunity

You’re a puzzle with those pieces I can't find

It drives me to the bottle

Lately the only thing that gets me high

Oh no

I can't deal with this distraction any more

I can't deal with simply losing any more

This distance in your eyes is so misleading

So deceiving me

It’s tearing me apart

So hard to ignore

The writing is on the wall

The feeling feels so permanent lost here in a fog

It’s so obvious to you

It should be obvious to me

Oh no

I can't deal with this distraction any more

I can't deal with simply losing any more

The distance in your eyes is so misleading

So deceiving me

It’s tearing me apart

Oh no

I can't deal with this distraction any more

I can't deal with simply losing any more

This distance in your eyes is so misleading

So deceiving me

It’s tearing me apart

If Only

The sounds of the morning arrives

Complete with a shot of the moon

Hungry for love and for life

I’ll circle the planet for you

Make no mistake, it’s no fluke

Determined to be satisfied

Regardless of what comes to pass

Regardless, I'm enjoying the ride

I try

If only I had you beside me

I try

If only my courage had strength

These mountains that stand here before me

Would be nothing but hills to my eyes

If only I try

These streets, how they feel so alive

Crowded with concrete and steel

Though broken, shattered and small

I’ll fight until I no longer bleed

Promised a love that is good

The warrior inside me believes

That endings all end as they should

Just like ripples that flow out to sea

I try

If only I had you beside me

I try

If only my courage had strength

These mountains that stand here before me

Would be nothing but hills to my eyes

If only I try

I’ll try

If only I had you beside me

I’ll try

If only my courage had strength

These mountains that stand here before me

Would be nothing but hills to my eyes

If only I

My Desert Home

Another bourbon sunset

As my day slips into night

Another thirsty moon rising in that southern sky

Here in my desert home lies the secret my lover keeps

Here in my desert home she hides from me

Another restless heart extends its lonely hands

Another empty shot

I'm now face down in the sand

Here in my desert home I fight like hell to survive

Here in my desert home the angels pass me by

Oh, she took that listless love to a place out by the sea

Out by the sea

Never to be heard from again

Never to be seen

Another bourbon sunset

Another day slips into night

My thirst for her began the day my well went dry

Here in my desert home a drop of rain never leaves the sky

Here in my desert home she said goodbye

85

85 feels right tonight

On this interstate I drive

Moments before I was sitting alone watching cars pass me by

85 feels right and good

Like a warm afternoon

While I'm chasing this dream

There is so much I leave behind

At times my life is a tapestry

At times, a tragedy

Moments of glory

Moments of shame

Laughter shared with pain

At times I feel so invincible

Balanced only in principle

But for now I just move on

California bound

85 feels right tonight

As dawn slowly arrives

This need for a change has been heavy on my brain

Like the weight of a thousand lies

85 feels right and good like a wave crashing through

The feel of its spray brings sense to my day

With decisions long overdue

At times my life is a tapestry

At times, a tragedy

Moments of glory

Moments of shame

Laughter shared with pain

At times I feel so invincible

Balanced only in principle

But for now I just move on

California bound

At times my life is a tapestry

At times, a tragedy

Moments of glory

Moments of shame

Laughter shared with pain

At times I feel so invincible

Balanced only in principle

But for now I just move on

California bound

85 feels right tonight

In this interstate I drive

Change of Heart

You’ll never find it here

You’ll never find it here

You’ll never find it here

You’ll never find it here

A change of heart is never far

Don't think that you’re immune

Just because its you

A change of heart will always be lurking in every corner

Every pocket of every dream

It goes on and on

And it goes on and on

You argue every question (On and on)

Because the answer is never clear (On and on)

It goes on and on

It can go on and on

One thing is for certain (On and on)

You'll never (On and on)

You’ll never find it here

You’ll never find it here, no

You’ll never find it here

You’ll never find it here, no

You’ll never find it here

The devil is in the details and it’s screwing with your mind

Gather your belongings and get out while there is time

Those nagging little voices that are screaming in your ear

Are a constant reminder you’ll never

You'll never find it here

No, you’ll never find it here

You’ll never find it here

You’ll never find it here

Solitude is warning you

So don't be left behind

Look over your shoulder

Make it it quick or be hypnotized

The laughter that you’re hearing is not laughter so to speak

Don't bother finding shelter because you'll never

You’ll never find it here, no

You’ll never find it here

You’ll never find it here

You’ll never find it here

You’ll never find it here

You’ll never find it here

You’ll never find it here

You’ll never find it here

You’ll never find it here

You’ll never find it here

You’ll never find it here

You’ll never find it here

Islands

Like an island on my own

There are times I feel alone

Separated from a world I've always known

There are pieces that are gone from a life that struggles on

Just a photograph that's faded from the sun

You say, “Go”

But I'm not running

You say, “Now”

I say, “What for?”

Your words are heavy

But I'm undecided and so bored

There are plans to be broken

Watch them settle in the dust

The time will come when we all notice it no more

In the hours that sit between the real and fantasy

Are filled with thoughts of old and recent memories

Now with cautious conversations that tends to lead me on

To places that I should have never gone

You say, “Go”

But I'm not running

You say, “Now”

I say, “What for?”

Your words are heavy

But I'm undecided and so bored

There are plans to be broken

Watch them settle in the dust

The time will come when we all notice it no more

Like an island on my own

The wind and surf is what I call my home

Separated from a world I used to know

As each day reveals its plan

I pick my fruit with steady hands

And lay beneath a sky that's soft and warm

You say, “Go”

But I'm not running

You say, “Now”

I say, “What for?”

Your words are heavy

But I'm undecided and so bored

Plans are made to be broken

Watch them settle in the dust

The time will come when we all notice it no more
