SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

After all the sleepless and the breathless nights

You will sleep alone

You will sleep alone

When you come and find me in the afterlife

I will take you home

I will take you home

After all the sleepless and the breathless nights

You will sleep alone

You will sleep alone

When you come and find me in the afterlife

I will take you home

I will take you home

You know it’s just a feeling but lately it’s been feeling so real

If it’s any indication of how the wind is blowing

Just stick around a while


YOU WON’T BE COMING HOME

Will you walk away never knowing

How I cry every day still every day

How the silence breaks my heart

I know you won’t be coming home

Were you pardoned from all my dreaming

From the moment they took you away

Were you absolved of all my hopes

I know you won’t be coming home

If you could have stayed I’d have never let you go

Love is the price I pay

If you could have stayed we’d have let it all go

Love is the price I pay

It’s like you live under my skin

But I still just need you closer

Wish I could tell you that I love you

But you won’t be coming home

If you could have stayed I’d have never let you go

Love is the price I pay

If you could have stayed I’d have let it all go

We’d have let it all go

Love is the price I pay


PEOPLE SAY THINGS CHANGE

Last night cross the room I

Saw your eyes they were afloat

You said that nothing felt right And you just can’t let it go

People say things change

Yeah but I know better

Unless you feel the pain

People say things change

Yeah but i know better

Unless you stand in the rain

You’ll never let this go

Last night through the haze I

Felt like I was floating

And it gave me such an insight

That I thought I was your holy ghost

People say things change

Yeah but I know better

Unless you feel the pain

People say things change

Yeah but i know better

Unless you stand in the rain

You’ll never let this go


YOU GOTTA LOVE SOMEBODY

To know what it’s like to be alone

You’ve gotta love somebody

You gotta love somebody

To know what it’s like to be alone

You’ve gotta love somebody

You’ve gotta love someone

To know how it feels to let go

I had to lose somebody

The way I lost somebody

I’m living in the space between the pain

Because I love somebody

The way I love someone

Tell me that you’re not alone

Say you know i’d never leave you no

And tell me that you’re all right

And knowing how this would end

I’d do it all over again

But still I need to know you’re alright

You’ve gotta love somebody


BOBBY

Bobby when you leave

I worry she won’t hear you crying

I’m starting to believe

Jesus will not see you lying there

Or does he even care at all

Bobby when you leave

I worry she won’t feed you

I’m starting to believe

Jesus will not hear you crying out

Or does he even care at all

Does he even care at all

Or does he even care at all


HOME

Held you every night alone

Her cigarettes had stained your clothes

Is she better for you is she better for you

It doesn’t even matter

What the hell am I gonna do when they come to take you away

I don’t want to wait until the sun comes up

I don’t want to worry for the weekend no

I just wish you’d stay home


THREADS

Maybe I’m chasing old ideas

But I don’t know who you are from where I sit

So take a minute look on my face

Am I who you hoped I would be

Is it real

Do you know

This love

I followed the threads here

Did they lead me home

We had an image in our mind

An expectation of who we’d find

We played this moment in slow motion

Are we who we hoped we would be

Is it real

Do you know

This love

I followed the threads here

Did they lead me home

Do you feel

Do you know

This love

Following the threads here

Did they lead me home

In our dream when we dream are we alone

Alone

In our dream when we dream are we alone

Alone

In our dream when we dream are we alone

Alone

Is it real

Do you know

This love

I followed the threads here

Did they lead me home

Do you feel

Do you know

This love

Following the threads here

Did they lead me home


GET ME TO HEAVEN

Every night it’s the same long drive to the front door

I can’t help thinking that there must be so much more

I pray these songs will give me wings and take me to a new place

Searching for that safe warm bed where we both can lay our heads

Every morning when I see your face I gotta get this off my chest

We’re all looking

We’re all looking

We’re all looking for a place to rest our heads

And I know it’s late but I drove home all the same

Funny thing is that I know I might miss it all no matter what I say

No matter what I say

No matter what I say

No matter what I say

We’re all looking for something to fade us a little more

I keep thinking that there’s gotta be a better place for us to go

We’re all looking

We’re all looking

We’re all looking for a place to rest our heads

I know it’s late but I always drive home all the same

Funny thing is I know I might miss it all no matter what you say

No matter what you say

Matter what I say

Matter what you say to me

We’re all looking for a place to rest our heads

I know it’s late but I always drive home all the same

Funny thing is that I know I might miss it all no matter what they say

Save my soul

Give me everything I ever wanted and more

Yeah the funny thing is that I wouldn’t even know


MORNING LIGHT

Is this all wrong

That I call you

Tell you the year that it’s been

Since you left home

There’s a silence

Where we used to go

All of those nights we were up

Keep me from sleeping

I hope one day that you realize

I see you in the morning light

All these days past don’t change that I

See you in the morning light

Had a dream you changed

That I couldn’t find your face

Bobby why don’t you smile these days

There’s a silence

Where we used to go

Now I can’t recall the sound of your voice

I hope one day that you realize

I see you in the morning light

All these days past don’t change that I

See you in the morning light


PIECE BY PIECE

No sin in the city

To take us down

Nothing to be afraid of

No one looking around

I can’t believe that we used to say

That it was all okay

That it was all okay with me

I couldn’t live with myself

If I can’t live with you

You could take me apart

Piece by piece

I couldn’t live with myself

Last night you said

In the heat of the moment

Something that we’re afraid of

Something keeping us down


We’ve been feeling this way for a long time

But the words came out all wrong

The words came out all wrong

The words came out all wrong

The words came out all wrong

I couldn’t live with myself

If I can’t live with you

You could take me apart Piece by piece

I couldn’t live with myself


SEE YOU STILL

What I wouldn’t give

To look at you

To see you smile again

What I wouldn’t give

To hear you tell me

I love you too

Hear you say

When the lights go off at home

You’re not alone

You’re not alone

When I close my eyes to sleep

I see you still

I see you still

When you find yourself alone

I’m with you still

I’m with you still


FALL ALONG

We drove all night all alone

And we don’t talk until we get home

Sacred thoughts are less the more we fall along

It was always gonna take the rest of our lives

To get where we’re going
