Clarity 03:28

River has run wide Wide as it can be Treading lightly by ‘till it hits the open sea But clarity of vision Is something hard to find Like the river I’ll be on my way tonight Like the river I’ll be on my way tonight Count the stars darling They lay gazing at us One star is falling Vanishing at earth But clarity of vision Is something hard to find Like the river I’ll be on my way tonight Like the river I’ll be on my way tonight Flowin’ on and on Flowin on and on, Oh Flowin’ on and on Flowin on and on, Oh Flowin’ on and on Flowin on and on Take my pride, take my soul, For they were lost long ago And if my body’s not enough I will try, I will try, I will try River has run wide Wide as it can be Treading lightly by ‘till it hits the open sea But clarity of vision Is something hard to find Like a river I’ll be on my way tonight Like the river I’ll be on my way tonight (Show me my way tonight) Like the river I’ll be on my way tonight (And show me my way tonight) Like the river I’ll be on my way tonight (And show me my way tonight)

My Hiding Love 03:48
lyrics

Let me speak to you my heart, if you’ll listen for a while In hiding I have great courage to start This little thing I’ve found, one-sided for now, I hope will grow in bounds Come dance with me as day turns to night Until the fading light makes it hard to see I long to be a friend, perhaps a little more, Across the pond my love I send Show me a shadow of a smile Oh, my love Give me a chance to make it worth your while Oh, my love Oh my hiding love I would stand in line, if I could meet your eyes for just one second of the day I wish that I could tell you why I feel this way I just feel the indescribable kind of Kindness that I want spreading all around When you walk in my heart will not stop pounding If words have power to reach the soul, let These flow all the way home Show me a shadow of a smile Oh, my love Give me a chance to make it worth your while Oh, my love Oh my hiding love Oh can I fall too hard? Oh can I fall too hard? Oh can I fall too hard? Oh can I fall too hard? Oh my hiding love Will I ever kiss you? Do anything but miss you? My lips do speak nothing but the truth Now even if you never know, at least I’ve said it, now I’ll go Happy just thinking of you Show me a shadow of a smile Oh, my love Give me a chance to make it worth your while Oh, my love Oh my hiding love Oh my hiding love Oh my hiding love Oh my hiding love

Lilac Or Brown 04:00
lyrics
buy track
About the stuff I said, albeit several years ago, It was thoughtless and it’s cruel, because honesty’s the policy That screws me over every single time And now he’s arrived, oh with tricks to paint the sky A bright and pretty color like lilac or brown. And in the trail of a shooting star, It’s not the light we seek, but just to see how far We can ride along at this unbroken speed Carry us far, carry us far Then drop down on your knees from exhaustion and the heat And I will try to carry you home Palo alto and the city of the angels Both turn a rust-colored brown From the mist-covered mountains of home, to the desolation Of a city’s lights, oh how pretty at winter time When they’re all covered up in the whitest of the sheets. And in the trail of a shooting star, It’s not the light we seek, but just to see how far We can ride along at this unbroken speed Carry us far, carry us far Then drop down on your knees from exhaustion and the heat And I will try to carry you home Oh Juliet, albeit several years ago The possibility of a day spent without you Was very real to me, as I suffered all too many, but We were so damn innocent, oh, easily fooled By bright and pretty colors like lilac or brown. Sun pass the time, river pass the light, Sun pass the night, and so on it goes So here you are again, standing here in front of me Seems all your pretty colors have faded into grated words That pierce my heart through every single time But it’s a wicked world, so make sure you take care Because a friend is the saddest thing to lose. And in the trail of a shooting star, It’s not the light we seek, but just to see how far We can ride along at this unbroken speed Carry us far, carry us far Then drop down on your knees from exhaustion and the heat And I will try to carry you home

Goodbyes In The Dark 04:43
lyrics

Beside myself, Beside you. Wrapped up in your arms, Gives me incandescent truth. Come back, Athena Be with me tonight The moments you're gone Put me out of my mind If you’re gone another day, goodbyes to start Don’t be gone, no no no, give goodbyes in the dark If I’m a liar, Put me in my grave Beneath these bones, I feel the pain, And nothing I do can save it. Come back, Athena, Be with me tonight (Don't be gone, no, no, no) The moments you are gone Put me out of my mind If you’re gone another day, goodbyes to start Don’t be gone, no no no, give goodbyes in the dark If you’re gone another day, goodbyes to start Don’t be gone, no no no, give goodbyes in the dark to start Don't be gone no no no Hey If you’re gone another day, goodbyes to start Don’t be gone, no no no, give goodbyes in the dark If you’re gone another day, goodbyes to start Don’t be gone, no no no, give goodbyes in the dark to start

Gracie Jean 04:29

Poor Gracie Jean, she got flowers in her hair Cast down by waterside Poor Gracie Jean, she got bottles ‘nough to spare But oh, how water lies Never gonna give, never gonna give it up now Paddle ‘till you set your lungs ablaze Your life, your life, your life is worth saving And with one last sparkle, off she goes Never gonna give, never gonna give up now She’s gone, poor Gracie Jean Poor Gracie Jean, caught up in a firefight Cast down by waterside And magic is the blue of the Isla Vista sight But oh, water lies Never gonna give, never gonna give it up now Paddle ‘till you set your lungs ablaze Your life, your life, your life is worth saving And with one last sparkle, off she goes Never gonna give, never gonna give up now She’s gone, poor Gracie Jean Her mother’s furied tears, made crystalline with rage Seek solace in a vengeance kind of ride She says “we’re never gonna stop, no. We’ll get our justice yet. We’ll strike down God himself, for taking her life.” Poor Gracie Jean Poor Gracie Jean Poor Gracie Jean, she’s got roses in her hair Cast down by waterside And magic is the blue of the Isla Vista sight But oh, how water lies Never gonna give, never gonna give up now Never gonna give, never gonna give up now Never gonna give, never gonna give up now Never gonna give, never gonna give up now Never gonna give, never gonna give up now Never gonna give, never gonna give up now Never gonna give, never gonna give up now Never gonna give, never gonna give up now She’s gone Poor Gracie Jean Poor Gracie Jean Poor Gracie Jean Poor Gracie Jean

Reflections (feat. Mica Evans) 04:42
lyrics

Take about another breath from me Take about a single note out of key The angels on the roof of St. Paul, sit there takin’ hits My cup it runs out of wine as it hits my lips It’s not too late, we got nothin’ but time I know rough understanding can force us to rhyme And oh, you’re looking too good I’m not too late, I’m not too late for us My hands are so out of touch with love I cried what seemed like a million tears. Isn’t that enough? The salt, blood, and sweat made me mad, I’m not alone I never sought to hurt, you know You’ve punished me here. You’ve punished me long And all that I seem to get is strong Solo It’s not too late, we got nothin’ but time I know rough understanding can force us to rhyme But oh, you’re looking too good I’m not too late, I’m not too late

Wish You Were Here (feat. Hillary Chase) 02:51
lyrics

If you’re getting something won’t you let me know I’ve never been one to put on a show but I’m Living in skype and you’re believing the hype That I’m laying down in tracks hiding behind the mic We be building this city off of “damnit he is witty” Makin’ for the outfield on a little bit of pity But is it real, can I make you feel something through a screen, Are you talking to yourself until you’re ready to scream? Wish you were here Won’t stop till the lights appear Take me for the night won’t you commandeer me Oh wish you were here Wish you were here Won’t stop till the lights appear Take me for the night won’t you commandeer me Oh wish you were here I wish you here, if I could make you appear Maybe this fear of mine would leave me alone I could be wrong, but I’ve lasted ‘til now, and it’s sticking with me all the way to –- wait! Maybe I am damaged I’ve been shot through heart Leaving little pieces shattered across the bloody start line Maybe I’m afraid of “baby won’t you stay” Baby I’m afraid that maybe you will stay But when I get afraid I sit down to play, And every unoriginal note can pull me away “Nah nah, hey goodbye” Wish you were here Won’t stop till the lights appear Take me for the night won’t you commandeer me Oh wish you were here Wish you were here Won’t stop till the lights appear Take me for the night won’t you commandeer me Oh wish you were here Maybe I’m aloof and give the cold shoulder, Hiding in the shadows until I get bolder, While I know that things in shadows they can tend to fade, We’ve all grown up with the lie that we look cooler with shades I think I’m more idea to you, so let’s stop now … Look at my confidence, I have already caved Wish you were here Won’t stop till the lights appear Take me for the night won’t you commandeer me Oh wish you were here Wish you were here Won’t stop till the lights appear Take me for the night won’t you commandeer me Oh wish you were here And I can’t find our reality so let’s, Give it a rest and call it a day No more calling me up in the nighttime just to say Wish you were here Won’t stop till the lights appear Take me for the night won’t you commandeer me Oh wish you were here Wish you were here Won’t stop till the lights appear Take me for the night won’t you commandeer me Oh wish you were here

Wherever You Are (feat. Olivia Gerber) 02:42

This is for my Annie This is for my only If only I could know What you’ll be doing today If I could run that far I’d run to wherever you are My joy healing every scar When I finally found your door Oooh Oooh This is for my Annie Wherever you are Annie, have you been thinking? Dreaming past normal dreams I run the risk of losing If I admit that I’m the same And I have no plan I may jump or fall or stand But thanks for teaching this godless man To believe Oooh Oooh This is for my Annie Wherever you are This is for my Annie Wherever you are

Nothing 03:33
lyrics

I’ve been a mover, a dancer, Creating tagless art A beauty that can never be seen again The makers are the buyers Sometimes lighting lovers’ fires And I would like to be them in the end So let me be nothing Can I be nothing Oh nothing as I’m coming home tonight So let me be nothing Can I be nothing Oh nothing as I’m coming home tonight And I’ve been known flirt, To get closer than I should only to leave When I think I’ve found my way And a few I’ve hurt Broken more hearts than I should Ones that were not even mine to break So let me be nothing Can I be nothing Oh nothing as I’m coming home tonight So let me be nothing Can I be nothing Oh nothing as I’m coming home tonight Solo And I’ve been a singer, Mistaken for a real poet Weaving words into my versions of the world And all I sing are, Stupid love songs, And I think that may be all I ever will. So let me be nothing Can I be nothing Oh nothing as I’m coming home tonight let me be nothing Can I be nothing Oh nothing as I’m coming home tonight So let me be nothing Can I be nothing Oh nothing as I’m coming home tonight let me be nothing Can I be nothing Oh nothing as I’m coming home tonight

Some Scenes 03:54
lyrics
buy track
First, let me tell you one thing I like the chimes to ring and a steady handling But love is far from that And the scenes will pass me by One day as I woke up with bad hair A thought occurred to me that I might be in love I had a plan. Just the thing. And the scenes will pass me by On a street underneath a lamp With assurance of your smile I asked for your hand And that day was my lucky day And the scenes are passing me by Winter can be bitter cold But a high point I am told, is the ruminating of the old And sparkling lights and a fire burns inside While the scenes are passing us by One day, in a shapely little way, I heard the feeling you would Say enough to crush a rock But a heart is a living thing And the scenes will pass me by For a long time I felt a barrier was there But two hearts put beside each other beat In unison, in unison in unison, in unison But a heart is a living thing And the scenes will pass us by Secure in my mediocrity I began again to dream with no hope of it coming true ‘til a spark, the blind can’t see had all the scenes passing us by Now let me tell you one more thing I like it when you sing just about anything to me And when you smile it’s bright, like the starlight, and everything Yes I mean everything, goes crashing to the floor Reopening the door And the scenes will pass me by And the scenes will pass me by And the scenes will pass me by All the scenes will pass me by Bye, bye, bye
