You tell me your name
I say nothing at all
Then in a couple of days
I'll be waiting for your sunday call
I wanna be the one to sing and talk with you all nite
Hoping that that would be all rite
When the suns reflecting it's shining in your eyes
I will be on your mind
We both have our share
Disappointments and broken hearts
I can tell you this more then just friends
This is quite a story from the start
I wanna be the one to sing and talk with you all nite
Hoping that that would be all rite
Rainy Thursday mornings in the basement with John Prine
I will be on your mind
Ooohhh..what am I to do when my mind is busy racing tracing these lines all over you
Ooohhh..what am I to think when my mind is getting busy sipping on these fizzy drinks with you
You brought your case
You say “you could have some of mine”
Lucky sevens sharing this vessel
And the space of our lives
I wanna be the one that makes you kick and scream all nite
Hoping that that would be all rite
When the sun is rising and I am by your side
I will be on your mind

Wherever You Are

I know that you are hurt
And I know that you’re in pain
When you don’t have the words
And you don’t have to explain
There’s no need to say Yeah anything at all
When you need to cry and sway
I will answer the call
This is the grieving and you’re perfect exactly where you are
You’re more than a feeling and I will love you wherever you are
You know you can take off your cape
You know you’ll be all rite
When you feel like running to escape
And saying that you’re fine
There’s no need to be Yeah anything at all
What you feel is what you feel
Let yourself feel it all
This is the healing and you’re perfect exactly where you are
You’re more than a feeling and I will love you wherever you are
Even in the darkest dark/ there is still the face
Even underneath the hardest parts/ there is still the faith
I know you carry sorrow
And nothing will ever be the same
Don’t worry about tomorrow
We both know that days can change
There’s no need to be Yeah anywhere at all
When you’re on your hands and knees
Whether you walk or crawl
You are in your healing/ and you have already come so far
You’re more than a feeling/ I will love you wherever you are

Like A Man

You say you love me for who I am
If that’s the truth then where are you
Through all the tempests I withstand
All alone with a broken heart waiting for the truth
You say you used to love me then you take everything you can
As if it’s not enough and so I break just like a man
Break just like a man
Like a man
Spending too much time living in the past
Upside down spinning round inside my head
I wanna live outside these shadows cast
I wanna live in the lite that waits for me just beyond the edge
You say you used to love me then you take everything you can
As if it’s not enough and so I break just like a man
Break just like a man
Like a man
Now that I am stronger
By no means is this justified
Through all the days I have experienced without you
I’m excited for the rest of my life
You say you used to love me then you take everything you can
I’m more than enough
And so I stand up like a man
Stand just like a man
I stand just like a man

Trouble

When I breathe in and out
I think of life and death
I think about the things I’ve done wrong
The things I’ve done rite and the things I’ve left behind
I’m not one to forget
You know my head's a lot smarter than that
I wanna somewhere out of these regrets
Take of my masks and take off my hat
Trouble will find me in my mind
Trouble will find me all of the time
Sometimes the things I feel
Aren’t the same as things that I see
On my lucky days the things I want
Are the same as the things that I need
Whether I’m in love
Or times are tough and I find myself in pain
This old tired heart and this old wired brain
Keeps me playing this same old game
Trouble will find me in my mind
Trouble will find me all of the time
My head builds me up
Just to cut me back down
The best defense against myself
Is let love in and keep my guard down
Trouble will find me in my mind
Trouble will find me all of the time

7 Days

You melt my heart/ from a thousand miles away
I wait for you here/ only seven more days
I wanna be there/ I want you here
You’re too far away/ My love it’s clear
I have fallen/ into all of you
Yes I will walk beside you
Yes I will/ go anywhere with you
We both know/ we both understand/
From our heads to our toes/ and out of our hands
The way that it feels/ the way it was wrote
This is the first/ this is the most
I have fallen into all of you
Yes I will walk beside you
Yes I will/ I’ll go anywhere with you
Sit here singing/ into a phone
We can hardly wait/ our hearts and our home
I’ll write these words/ you’re on my mind
Start of the day/ and all of the time.
I have fallen/ into all of you
Yes I will walk beside you
Yes I will/ I’ll go anywhere with you

Earnest in nature.
Honest to a fault.
