Signs

The time we've spent together
Has weathered the weather
And it's given me light
We've loved as two birds of a feather
Never been loved better
Never felt so alive
I don't want the signs
To be the truth I'm confined by
I'm losing my mind
To watch you drifting away
I know it's love, never been more sure
Maybe not for forever
But together we still learned
We loved in the moment
We meant it, we owned it
Now we're turning back, hope to get on track in the morning
I don't want the signs
To be the truth I'm confined by
I'm losing my mind
To watch you drifting away
Letting go
Is the hardest thing to do
I'll let the curtain fall
Hope we see act 2

Why Not Tonight

Oh why you running around
With a guy like me
It's 3am and it's rainin darlin
But you forgot your key
I had to close out your tab
While you were closing my heart
It's been about 5, 6, 7, 8 years now
But I need a fresh start
Why not tonight
Feeling so good and you feel so right
Didn't think you could
Well I know you've got a man
Honey I don't mind
So why not, why not tonight
Well I slept on her couch
While I was dreaming about you
You said you don't regret anything that happened between us
Aw but baby I think you do
I drove you home in the morning
Yea, we talked about the weather
I can't wait to see you again love
But I can't, I can't wait forever
Why not tonight
Feeling so good and you feel so right
Didn't think you could
Well I know you've got a man
Honey I don't mind
So why not, why not tonight

Yelling at the Moon
04:07

Silver flasks and walking shoes
I never liked old country tunes
On summer nights when streets were still brand new
Dead oak trees and taco trucks
I hadn't planned on falling in love
I just wanted to be good to you
So give me back my yesterdays
Before you took my heart away
When sunsets still had a golden hue
Most people suck at love but
I'm afraid I've said too much
So forget it, let's keep yelling at the moon
Red wine and marijuana
We can get married if you wanna
There's no rush, let's wait a year or two
Weekend trips and inside jokes
Acting like we're not both broke
No future set, we don't have a clue
I wish I had those yesterdays
Here in my arms you'd lay
As waves crash along the shore so blue
But now you're somewhere else
With a brand new sense of self
And I can't help but be happy for you
Happy tears and well wishes
We broke too many promises
I hope we can see each other soon
Lonely nights and cigarettes
I lost all my winning bets
I should've went all in on you
So here's to future yesterdays
We can look back and say
I'm glad that I ended up with you
Yea, most people suck at love
But I thank the stars above
For the time I shared with you

Burrow

Another weekend, load the car
I can barely see
It's been a long two weeks
The moving back and forth has tired me
Mom I promise there's nothing going on
I'm always with good company
Deep breath, I will burrow in the ground someday
One day you'll see
I promise I'm having fun
Don't you worry about me
Thousands for you rode this plain
Pushed by mountainous wind
Many here have passed
Sounds in vain, in vain
Mom I promise the road goes on
I'm always with good company
Deep breath, I will burrow in the ground someday
One day you'll see
I promise I'm having fun
Don't you worry about me
Cities in view, oh how much I wanna see
Fingers raw and weak

Sandman
04:34

Can I keep my eyes awake
Am I making a mistake
Cause I fight tooth and nail
Just to hold this conscious state
I can't keep my eyes awake
Hey there sandman, I saw you grab a beer
Sure you've gotta make a living
But can't you see I've got friends here
Now find the door, think I've made myself clear
Hey there sandman, you ain't welcome here
So I sit and I drink
Try to conversate
But if this couch sinks
More than it seals my fate
My mind needs a rest
Yes I think that's true
I just hope my friends
They come around next year too
Hey there sandman, I saw you grab a beer
Sure you've gotta make a living
But can't you see I've got friends here
Now find the door, think I've made myself clear
Hey there sandman, you ain't welcome here
Now the night's wound down
And it's just us two
There's no one around
You want me and I want you
But goddamn! I've got no choice
I wish it wasn't true
My will has surely lost
And there ain't a thing that I can do
Hey there sandman, I saw you grab a beer
Sure you've gotta make a living
But can't you see I've got friends here
Now find the door, think I've made myself clear
Hey there sandman, you ain't welcome here

Can't Be Tamed
03:35

She says she's a book with no beginning or end
Except I know every page, each paragraph transcends
She says she's a slave but I know she's a queen
Held captive by her past, I know every scene
We've crawled through her life and walked through mine
Throwing out keepsakes, sharing bottles of wine
She ran through the forest setting everything aflame
'Cause she's a wild horse and she can't be tamed
She says she's a movie, it's silent black and white
And everything fades out until there isn't any light
She says she's a statue 'cause her hearts made of stone
I tell her that she's bronze since she's metal to the bone
She sailed through my veins and she swam in my blood
And every time she cries it causes a flood
She ran through the forest setting everything aflame
'Cause she's a wild horse and she can't be tamed
Then she says I'm a sinner, my prayers go unheard
When she looks to me for comfort I can't spit out a word
She ran through the forest setting everything aflame
'Cause she's a wild horse and she can't be tamed
