Home Sweet Home

Saying a prayer for my tomorrows
Waving goodbye to yesterday
Feels like one of those times when you'd find something to believe in
If you still wanted to believe
I want to feel just like that summer
So many years ago
Chasing those girls around through every street of this lonely town
Singing every song on the radio
My home sweet home
I wonder where you've gone
My home sweet home
I guess I'll just be moving on
Humming a tune, walking around, and wondering when everything
Got so complicated
A simple plan, a simple set of circumstances
Maybe we just miscalculated
My home sweet home
I wonder where you've gone
My home sweet home
I guess I'll just be moving on
Disengaged
Disenchanted
A little disarray
Count the miles
Count the minutes
If I ever lose my way
I'm not one for contemplating
Where we are or what went wrong
But what do you get when you add up all our glory days?
Just the words to one more song
My home sweet home
I wonder where you've gone
My home sweet home
Guess I'll just be moving on

Whiskey And Bad Luck

Some days are diamonds and some days are dirt
Some days the effort
Feels like more than it's worth
I know the feeling
Yes I can relate
With the best of intentions and the worst of mistakes
So don't darken my doorway
With your rainclouds today
Don't let these blue skies
Turn a cold shade of grey
Whiskey and bad luck
They're old friends of mine
But things could be different
It's just a matter of time
So don't you come round here
With your same old despair
You know I won't answer
I won't be there
Cause I'm all for believing
That this ain't all it could be
Until the best of intentions get the better of me
So don't darken my doorway
With your rainclouds today
Don't let these blue skies
Turn a cold shade of grey
Whiskey and bad luck
They're old friends of mine
But things could be different
It's just a matter of time

Somewhere between the rain and Sunday morning
There's a silence and a little bit of sleep
Somewhere between what's spoken and what's left unsaid
Is a promise I think I'll keep
Somewhere beneath the sky I saw a teardrop fall
And caught it with my hands behind my back
Tried to hold it close to me forever
I guess it must have slipped between the cracks
So what if I say I'll be home in the morning
And the whole world stops turning around
All the stars in the sky come between you and I
Somehow we fall to the ground
Somewhere between the river and the highway
Is an empty space where I can lie down
In a grey light out on the horizon
To pray that I'll never be found
Somewhere between the real and the illusion
You find what you believe and you take hold
Somewhere before the cold light of morning
Where dreams can be bought and dreams can be sold
So what if I say I'll be home in the morning
Did you really believe it was true
I guess that's okay, when there's nothing to say
It don't make a difference to you
So what if I say I'll be home in the morning
You really believe it was true
All the stars in the sky came between you and I
And I'd rather not think about you
But faith is a weapon as far as I know
It got me this far anyway
Somewhere between the rain and Sunday morning
That's where I wanna stay

Best Thing Going

I was gonna write you a love song
But I don't know if i should
Put down the words in my head I know I should've said
I just don't think it would be any good
But on the coldest of days from September to May
I can let you fall asleep in my arms
Forget all your worries and dream til we hear the alarm
I was gonna tell you everything's alright
I just don't know if i believe it
Before the paycheck comes the money's all gone
We never get a chance to see it
But if it feels alright on a hot summer night
You can take the words right out of my mouth
Stare at the stars and believe we got it all figured out
If this is the best thing going
I wouldn't change a thing
This is the best thing I ever wanted to be
If we could start all over
I'd do it the same again
This is the best thing
I never want it to end
I was gonna be all the things I said
All the promises I made
All the way from the start hold your hand in the dark
So we never lose our way
The times will get tough and I hope it's enough
To hang on to the here and now
That's the life we lead and we're gonna make it through somehow
If this is the best thing going
I wouldn't change a thing
This is the best thing I ever wanted to be
If we could start all over
I'd do it the same again
This is the best thing
I never want it to end

Drift Away
04:08

All the things that I had hoped for between your fragile heart and mine
All the words that fell between us, they mean everything
All the time that I spent waiting for a smile to cross your lips
All I ever really wanted
Was to drift away
"Why can't you come home?" I've asked myself
A thousand times a day
When there's nothing short of misery to keep me warm
So could you consider me for more than just a little while
I guess everything can't go the way it's planned
So I drift away
Darling can you see right through me like a piece of window glass?
Is it really just that simple?
If I can't keep you for this moment, can I steal you for awhile?
Can I see you in the morning?
Before I drift away
Tell me how it comes together when it's all been said and done
Does it really even matter?
Do you ever think about me when you close your pretty eyes?
Does it really even matter?
If I drift away

Smile

Been raining since the day that I was born
With my heartbeat moving faster every moment til I'm gone
Then I woke up in the consequence of everything I've seen
And every single second I'm forgetting how to breathe
I've been pouring out an ocean of my blood
In crimson waves of mercury until I come undone
Then I step aside to watch the daylight crack the room
Close my eyes, count to ten and fall asleep til June
I'll do anything I can
I'll do everything
Anything I can I'll do something
I'll Smile
Through in between and everything and all that's right or wrong
til something better comes along
It's been raining every day of my life
My fear of understanding is growing sharper than a knife
Now I'm the shadow of the ghost of what I'll always want to be
And every single second I'm beginning to believe
I'll do anything I can
I'll do everything
Anything I can
I'll do something
I'll smile
Through in between and everything and all that's right or wrong
Til something better comes along
