Count Me Out 02:19
always wait until the last minute sit in silence til' you've heard enough of it only wishing for a second chance to show you care I let it go eyes fill up with tears before your face again staring straight ahead ignore my crying fears don't lock eyes until the very end you know you care now let it show I know you care I let it go if this dear's where your love is you can count me out if this dear's where your heart lives I will always have my doubts
2.
after I left the city and washed away all this pity bright lights surround my heart no way I could fall apart this hard it doesn't get much better after this why did I worry through and pick apart the times I grew wide oaks down empty streets this small town I can't skip a beat for me to see it doesn't get much better after this and how can I explain myself when you put me on the shelf and how could I explain myself
3.
everyone else sees your light a flower can bloom twice just water down those blue eyes there's something behind your cries blur out my insides spin me around & round again I blew out my wish for you I bite my tongue and listen well baby you are missin the words of my song dance under the daytime moon it lights up the ocean the water flows we glow again I blew out my wish for you
4.
Keeping Up 03:50
I find it hard staying in time with you why try keeping up it's all a big to-do my heart skips a beat at your show those words on repeat it's time to go solo if we could have the same end with a different journey wouldn't take it in a heartbeat for all the learning and let's skip a beat at the show your words on repeat it's time to go solo so long... I want to understand try to understand what you're feeling through all this time and your quiet lies i've got nothing do you understand want to take a stand to the meaning of all this time and your darkened eyes I've been leaning so self assured to ever realize the more you said made us want to close both eyes and skip another beat at the show your shred on repeat it's time to go solo so long...

25 03:04
this year might feel the same in more than one way from day to day no shame oh dear no one's to blame some flames will fade but I'm here to stay my friend 25 I hope you find what you're looking for there's birds at your door waiting to fly away with you 25 take this time in stride there's no need to drive with birds at your door hoping to fly away with you this year you will change like flowers fade in winter shade unphased oh dear the plans have changed the picture framed of better days remains
7.
smell of pine and simpler time strings of lights light up my eyes as we sit around the room over the chestnut flames the stories left untold still remain wishful thoughts and winding tracks the tiny train always came back as we sit across the room holding our frozen dreams the stories went untold or set to fade we only take this time of year to hold the ones that we call dear let's celebrate our hearts fall near through the cheer
8.
Giving Tree 03:11
underneath the giving tree takes more out of me paint me blue like George Rodrigue with long green teardrop leaves lifetime fools of fruits and bees wander 'til you see more of me than what you believe hide behind the weeds
9.
Old Daze 04:01
outside my daydream I'd have a long way to go my wish in the well floats off without fail if it comes back to me oh i hope it never leaves don't you know that this falls on me my cup of tea oh I want to feel your heat just like the old days inside the real thing it'd sting when I sing out the truth how did a confident youth grow up doubts linger through
10.
Song to Self 02:25
well it feels like I'm growing even though nothing's showing just yet for me but none of that will matter if it's all for the chatter out in the street 'cause the only voice that matters is the voice that will chatter inside your head don't you forget get up, get up, get up the sky's what you're missin' roaming 'round with your head down you'll just keep on trippin' wonder how I'll take this proud bow after the curtain I'm the sound that's keeping me down yeah what's the purpose
