I want a love that’s like a plague
Taking over my heart.
My soul.
My mind.
I want a love that’s handmade
Stitched perfectly into my life.
And I want a love that sees the light, always.
For love is as strong as death itself
Holds us together more than anything else.
I want a love that’s not afraid
Of the challenges that we may find.
I want a love that will parade
Down the streets of my past singing
“Don’t look back!”
Oh, love is as strong as death itself
Holds us together more than anything else
It’s in words that we speak
It’s in the songs that we sing
It’s in everything, it’s in everything.
Oh, love is as strong as death itself
Holds us together more than anything else
It’s in words that we speak
It’s in the air that we breathe
It’s in everything, it’s in everything.
I want a love that’s like a plague
Taking over my heart.
My soul.
My mind.
And I want a love that sees the light, always.

Passing Tones
03:38

Lay awake with me tonight.
Even if there’s nothing left to say, it’s alright.
I know I’m just a passing tone,
Until you find a better home.
But as I watch the sunrise for the first time in years
The only thing I think of is that I’m glad you’re still here
We’ll be in between like a changing season
I’ll keep you close to me without any reason
Just to make you feel alive again
‘Cause yeah I finally feel alive again
We’ve got so much life to live
and I have so much left to give— to him
How could I let my mind compromise?
If I see a different view in his eyes
So, I won’t be the downbeat anymore
I’m picking myself up off this cold and lifeless floor
We’ll be in between like a changing season
I’ll keep you close to me without any reason
Just to make you feel alive again
‘Cause yeah I finally feel alive again
Maybe you didn’t mean anything you said
When you lured yourself inside my head
But when you left that night so soon
I swear I watched the color leave the room
So lay awake with me tonight
Even if there’s nothing left to say, it’s alright
Yeah, I know, we are just passing tones
Until we find our separate homes

Trial and Error
04:29
|

Another day and I’m sorry
I didn’t mean to do this to you
You’ve always seen the best in me
And I didn’t mean to do this to you
I thought I could save you
And put you back together
I thought I had saved you
But I couldn’t save our love
(Chorus)
Oh, People come and people go
We learn to love and love helps us grow
So we’ll stay buried in somebody’s memory
There’s always a reason it may be hard to see
But even the worst falls tell our stories.
I followed my heart into a place unknown
Where I left everything I knew to be alone
But I don’t feel any different this time around
Just the feeling of letting you down.
(Chorus)
You have burnt every bridge that could ever lead you back to me
And if that’s how you want it then that’s how it’ll be
You think it helps to be the last one on my mind
But you’re wearing yourself down in the midst of every line
It’s time to put it to a rest and just go on this time
And stay buried in somebody’s memory
There’s always a reason it may be hard to see
But even the worst falls will tell our stories.

Forward

You were a saw easy to sway
Well accidents happen when looking away
You took your eyes off of the prize
It’s funny how you look so surprised
(Chorus)
Well don’t you stand there now like you never saw it coming
You can’t avoid the train while you’re still standing on the tracks
You were a wish that might have come true
But wishes aren’t granted to those who don’t prove
How much you need it, how much you’re willing to fight
Didn’t look to like you had it when I walked away that night
(Chorus)
Keep moving forward
You’re not held captive to the ground
Don’t let yourself get so down.
Keep moving forward.
(Chorus)

Stay
03:10
|
|||
|
I felt the sun on my skin and I remembered
That not everything is cold
So I have opened up and let you in
And I won’t turn away from you again
Show me you’ll stay
And prove to me
That things belong this way
I ran scenarios in my head
Wondering if you’d take me as I am
‘Cause I have opened up and let you in
My only question, is were you listening?
Show me you’ll stay
And prove to me
That things belong this way
Race with me against the high tide
‘Cause I can see the sun setting in your eyes
And I don’t wanna lose myself, lose myself this time
I don’t wanna lose myself, lose myself this time
Show me you’ll stay
And prove to me
That things belong this way

Between Pages
03:36
|
|||
|
I pressed your silhouette between the pages
Like dried flowers filled with recollection
Though you’re gone and your fragrance is fading
I can’t seem to forget
You were the very best thing I could have had.
And these lines don’t mean anything
Unless they can make my heart sing.
And I was always filled with your song
I felt it again just like the previous times
When nothing else mattered, but your lips against mine
And I’m losing; I’m losing my control
Foots floored on the gas and I’m all set to go
But don’t try to catch me
‘Cause I wanna crash into you
And I was always filled with your song
But I really wanna see life
Through your point of view
Because I’m so amazed by you
The notes compose themselves
But I want nothing else...
Because I was always filled with your song.

I saw you hit the bottom
I heard your cries the whole way down
And now you’re living in fear
Scared of the things that pushed you around -
Get a hold of yourself dear
Now that you’re here, get off the ground.
Because no pain, no pain,
Is worse than the pain of giving up
(Chorus)
“Life is but life, and death but death
Bliss is but bliss, and breath but breath!
And if, indeed, you fail,
At least you know the worst is sweet
Defeat means nothing but defeat”
One day you’ll understand
The reason there is comfort in a hand
Inside the warmth of a grip—
You forget that you were even scared a bit
You’ve still got so much left in you
I hope you see yourself the way I do
(Chorus)
You argue— How can anyone feel
Feel the way that you felt?
But yours is not the first bad hand
In a stack of cards to be dealt
(Bra da dum da da dum bra dum da da da dum.)
“Life is but life, and death but death
Bliss is but bliss, and breath but breath!

Roots & Wings
03:53
|
|||
|
I can’t take this feeling knotting inside my throat
Decisions won’t get easier if my thoughts stay remote
You’re never gonna let me go
But you can’t have both roots and wings
Either take one or take nothing
So this time I’m gonna let you go
I’ve been here before
Thought I was satisfied, But I needed more
And you’ve done nothing wrong, you see.
But sometimes when you love someone
You have to set them free, so set me free.
Couldn’t hold my breath, but I know that I tried
But some notes aren’t meant to be tied.
But I’m never gonna leave your side
I'm never gonna leave your side.
I’ve been here before
Thought I was satisfied, But I needed more
And you’ve done nothing wrong, you see.
But sometimes when you love someone
You have to set them free, so set me free.
My loss will be her gain
You can take the sun or feel the rain.
