you know that this will end down the line like it does forget all the places you've been and the ride, you’re on you say you want an answer something like pushing down a wall we even take for granted it gets you what you’re scared of tell me who can you trust with a love and how do you know what’s up when you want it push comes to shove falling into love and out of luck yeah there’s a place where we can stop time and keep it like the keeping’s real and just when you got it all right time will tell you feel it creeping in like a crack in the window pane blown around and back again it always seems to knows your name it slips away (from us) it’s like a missing point in time that won’t come back when it’s gone it disappears (from us) it’s like it’s not enough perhaps it’s only fear that it’s right tell me who can you trust with a love and how do you know what’s up when you want it push comes to shove falling into love and out of luck

He Calls You Babe (free) 03:27
well you might not even know it or hear the words he said you’re talking while you’re sleeping as a dream pulls you away he calls you babe and you fumble with a reason like the wind that left a sail the passing of the season sometimes it’s hard to tell he calls you babe do you wanna get out of here? i know a place where we can go when we get there we may never want to leave for that sunrise again and it might not want for nothing but it wants to keep it right and when you find you’re needing arms to hold you tight he calls you babe and you see that sun arising as you wake up from the night whispers with your breathing and a warmth comes with the light he calls you babe
3.
It's Good Enough (free) 03:48
i’ll tell you something i might never know just what the hell it is i want from you but come on take it with a little grain of salt yeah open up your mouth and taste it it’s good enough it’s good enough baby if you knew better you probably wouldn’t wait for this to come out in the wash oh no no the only lessons i can tell are the ones i never learned how to deal with oh how to deal but it’s hard to think that the seasons won’t catch up with the time we spend drinking from our cup and to waste away even as you know but despite the day it’s good enough yeah i’m sure the day will come when we cross paths and pause to sigh at what it was that passed just long enough to see a shadow in the light flicker on flicker on and fade out it’s good enough it’s good enough baby
4.
Lay Me Down (free) 03:49
i saw it in a dream a city up in flames running through the streets searching for a way to climb another mountain to swallow pride and pain waiting for the morning and dawn’s light to wash away as you lay me down like a setting sun you ease my wandering mind somehow and you give me hope/peace when you come around like a gentle wind you lift my burden off now it’s you i want, it’s you i need i woke up from a dream with black rain coming down still surreal it seemed just another place somehow where shadows walk with names but fear to turn around and nothing stays the same where the wind blows without a sound lay me down watch the sky move along with me stay around lay me down take my hand move along with me stay around
5.
Look A Little Harder (free) 03:36
look a little harder darling love will surely find a way yeah even in a world of darkness even if it’s not today yeah come on sit and talk tell me about your day there’ll always be tomorrow or so they say but it’s been a really long, long ride it’s getting mighty hard to say and even with the warmth between us and even though we’re on our way but if the timing just ain’t right we may never find our way home tonight look a little harder darling we lost love in the doubt it needs a little bit of something if it’s gonna make it out feels almost like breaking like it’s gonna fall we maybe could of seen it coming or built a wall but sooner or later sooner or later we’ll make it sooner or later we’ll make it right
6.
I Still Wait (free) 03:21
you found yourself caught between where you are and where you want to be with open arms now with every means you hold onto morning light and sleepy dreams i still wait for you to come around and i still search for a sign oh i still hope for a reason to celebrate our love if you blink time will pass and fate will leave you here with empty hands it seems so long since we first laughed aloud now it seems so long since i held you close
7.
Settle Down (free) 03:36
you know you’re falling down can’t keep up and this one won’t be pushed around but you don’t know till it’s bad enough to tell ‘em everything that you found and now it comes to you yeah comes to pass that rocks will sink in a pool and if you want it bad enough you better settle down or better run and now you’re all amped up without a rest and she’s a measure of the wind the kiss and wait while you seem fit will always get you in the end and now it calls to you from upon the hill it ain’t that special with a view and if you want it bad enough you better settle down or better run you might not care what used to be you might not care to look ahead but she won’t wait for the rain to clear the dust or for your feet hit the ground you know it well enough and that’s enough to know she might come but then she’ll go down the wishing well yeah it told you so it only tells you what you wanna hear but it could care for you even calm your mind wind don’t blow all the time and if you want it bad enough you better settle down or better run
8.
Everything You Got (free) 03:27
i want everything you got and you got nothing for me i want every time you breathe and your poison lips on me yeah i drove all night, to lie beside you now just to feel alive again inside oh you give me a reason to never come down and in the morning you leave me with everything you got i need everything you are and nothing you will be i need every little touch from you and your cunning hands on me i see everywhere we are and nowhere for us to be i see every trick we pull and every little scar we leave
9.
There's Still Time (free) 03:28
amazing this odd life i bet you never knew we’d find ourselves a fight and end up black and blue you found every reason i sought a just excuse it only took a season to render it abused there’s still time to be more than what’s locking us inside out of some burning sky there’s still time a twisted play on words to wish we’d never said and now what seems absurd is nothing new instead we talked and tried to stay locked up in our room but now to find a way is all that we can do
10.
Who's She Loving Now (free) 03:18
who’s she loving now and it’s always hard to see you’re blind but if you wait around the wind will blow and seasons change like people’s clothes that fall upon the ground, yeah you brought it on who’s she loving now so you come to find you’re with lock and key but she said she’d rather just send you a postcard and it feels like rain 'cause your bones scream out ever time she looks with those fleeting eyes who’s she loving now but there comes a time when the time ain’t right and a time to wash her scent from your sheets and move along 'cause there’s nothing to see but a lover to be, coming in the night who’s she loving now
11.
When It's Gone (free) 04:22
you could take a little piece of it with you just to make it easier to follow through or hold onto all the fairytales we made or hold on to all the love we gave i could play a guitar in my sleep dear sing you a song until my heart’s clear but tears will find a way when a man falls down tears will find a way when it’s gone it’s like it past before our eyes but too late to see all the things you weren’t looking for you found when it’s gone you could talk it out in a loving tone build you a voice and make it so strong that every window in this old house breaks out every window opens up to let it in i could take a little piece of it with me but i should know better so i better not memories of the time that we spent played out memories of the time that we spent when it’s gone, it’s gone
