Sunny Skies

Goodnight Serenity
Now there's no one there to kiss your cheek
And tell you everything will be just fine
No one to hold you close
Rock you gently into sleep
And wipe that salty saline from your eyes
I never meant to fall for you
The way I did, the way I do
Every time I hear your voice or see you smile
I get lost looking for those sunny skies
We may never find, but that's alright.
Time holds a healing hand
Or so they say I understand
You never meant for me to feel this way
It might have been easier
To let me go before you fell
But the bottom of this canyon feels the same
I never meant to fall for you
The way I did, the way I do
Every time I hear your voice or see you smile
I get lost looking for those sunny skies
We may never find, but that's alright.
I get lost looking for those sunny skies
We may never find, but that's alright.
I hope someday you'll understand
The chance that I was offering
And somewhere out there, maybe you'll find peace
So goodnight Serenity
I hope you find someone to lie to you
And tell you everything's just fine
I never meant to fall for you
The way I did, the way I do
Every time I hear your voice or see you smile
I get lost looking for those sunny skies
We may never find, but that's alright.
I get lost looking for those sunny skies
We may never find, but that's alright.

Open Your Eyes

I am standing here
Right in front of you
Hoping maybe one day you will see
Just what it is you’ve been missing
And hoping maybe someday you will open up to me
Open your eyes and touch me
Open your eyes and just feel me here
Open your eyes and kiss me
Open your eyes there is nothing to fear
I only want to see in your eyes, the love I feel
I’m still dreaming here
Lighting the way for you
Hoping maybe one day you will be
Everything that that I’ve been missing
Still dreaming maybe someday you will open up to me
Open your eyes and touch me
Open your eyes and just feel me here
Open your eyes and kiss me
Open your eyes there is nothing to fear
I only want to see in your eyes, the love I feel
And it’s impossible to dream with your eyes open you said
There’s no point to this so I will keep my eyes closed
Just so I can keep this dream alive
Open your eyes and touch me
Open your eyes and just feel me here
Open your eyes and kiss me
Open your eyes there is nothing to fear
I only want to see in your eyes, the love I feel

Hurricane

She's a hurricane, and she's pressing in to land
She's losing control, her crashing waves take their toll
A perfect storm strikes a glancing blow, a patient eye for a restless soul
But is she to blame for the pain she brought to me
She takes all her fear, pushes out and draws it near
A perfect storm strikes a glancing blow, a patient eye for a restless soul
A perfect storm strikes a glancing blow, a patient eye for a restless soul
A perfect storm strikes a glancing blow, a patient eye for a restless soul
A patient eye for a restless soul

Where Monsters Hide
02:25
|

|
I'm swimming in oceans here
Lost in your eyes
I'm clinging to driftwood
To keep me alive
Just throw me a lifeline
For all that I've tried
I'm off of the edge of the map
Here where monsters hide
In the darkness
I'm guided by the stars
Maybe someday I'll find my way home to you
I'm drifting in circles here
Lost in these lies
I'm clinging to memories
To help me survive
Just give me a clear sign
For all that I've cried
I'm off of the edge of the map
Here where monsters hide
In the darkness
I'm guided by the stars
Maybe someday I'll find my way home to you
In the darkness
I'm guided by the stars
In the darkness
I'm guided by the stars
Maybe someday I'll find my way home to you

We're on the District line tonight
Waiting on the Piccadilly transfer to arrive
We're going to see the world tonight
Underneath the cold, December skies
The adventure begins tonight
We're on the upper Thames tonight
Looking for Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese
And a fire and a drink to warm ourselves against the night
We're looking for love again
And hoping maybe this time we get it right
But London night falls
And life got in the way
Maybe next time
Love will find a way
We're watching the icebergs melt
Slow at first still vanishing day after day
It's sad to see something so beautiful disappear
And fade away
But London night falls
And life got in the way
Maybe next time
Love will find a way
But London night falls
And life got in the way
Maybe next time
Love will find a way
We're on the District line tonight
Waiting on the Piccadilly transfer to arrive
We're going to see the world tonight
We're going to see the world tonight
We're going to see the world tonight

Coastline

City lights and smoky haze
I've been trapped inside for days
And I don't know how I got here
All I know is I've just got to disappear
My boss told me too bad son
You've got to work, it ain't supposed to be fun
It's just the way that it is
We've all been there before
The thing is man, well damn, I want more
I miss the Carolina coastline
How that Outer Banks sun shines
The taste of salt on the air
The wind in my hair
Rolling down 421
I miss the smell of the ocean breeze
The feel of sand under my feet
The sound of waves on the shore
I'm longing for more
But life's a beach
I've been lost here in this daydream
Staring at this computer screen
And I don't have a clue
What any of this shit means
I just wanna hit delete, start something new
Walk out of this building quick
Hit the road and don't ever look back
I already know, just where I'll go
Where my spirit's high
And hell, so am I
I miss the Carolina coastline
How that Outer Banks sun shines
The taste of salt on the air
The wind in my hair
Rolling down 421
I miss the smell of the ocean breeze
The feel of sand under my feet
The sound of waves on the shore
I'm longing for more
But life's a beach
I don't want to go
I don't want to go back to reality
I just want to live my life free
I miss the Carolina coastline
How that Outer Banks sun shines
The taste of salt on the air
The wind in my hair
Rolling down 421
I miss the smell of the ocean breeze
The feel of sand under my feet
The sound of waves on the shore
I'm longing for more
But life's a beach
I love the Carolina coastline
How that Outer Banks sun shines
The taste of salt on the air
The wind in my hair
Rolling down 421
I need the smell of the ocean breeze
The feel of sand under my feet
The sound of waves on the shore
I'm longing for more
But life's a beach, and then you die.

A Bottle of Bourbon
03:54
|

|
Well I am lying here
Holding onto her
In my favorite but fading photograph
And her fragrance still remains
On the pillow I can't change
'Cause if I did, this might all be real
And she is gone
And I'm still here
And I'd have never guessed that it could end up like this
She told me not to fall in love but I guess I'm not that smart
So here I am, a bottle of bourbon
When I reach the bottom it's a start
I'm drinking her memory
Now I can not recall
Though try as I might
The moment it all went wrong
And all that I can hear
Is the strain in her voice
When she said
I think we need to talk
And she is gone
And I'm still here
And I'd have never guessed that it could end up like this
She told me not to fall in love but I guess I'm not that smart
So here I am, a bottle of bourbon
When I reach the bottom it's a start
I'm drinking her memory
This bottle of bourbon
When I reach the bottom it's a start
And she is gone
And I'm still here
And I'd have never guessed that it could end up like this
She told me not to fall in love but I guess I'm not that smart
So here I am, a bottle of bourbon
When I reach the bottom it's a start
I'm drinking her memory
I'm drinking her memory
This bottle of bourbon
When I reach the bottom it's a start
And I'd have never guessed that it could end up like this
She told me not to fall in love but I guess I'm not that smart
So here I am, a bottle of bourbon
When I reach the bottom it's a start
I'm drinking her memory
I'm drinking her memory
This bottle of bourbon
When I reach the bottom it's a start
I'm drinking her memory
This bottle of bourbon
When I reach the bottom it's a start

Carve It Deep
03:46

I don't know where to begin
I have lost my way
Right now I just need a friend
But I don't know how to say
She says, "Carve it deep, let it show"
(Oh let it show, oh let it show)
For all the world to see I know
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
The past is gone, the seed it grows
(Nothing here ever grows now)
But the pain inside remains the ghost
(It's haunting me, it's haunting me)
She says, "Please love me again"
(Please love me)
She says, "Please love me again"
The things I need aren't what I want
My heart gets in the way
I need someone to help me find
A better way to live my life
She says, "Carve it deep, let it show"
(Oh let it show, oh let it show)
For all the world to see I know
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
The past is gone, the seed it grows
(Nothing here ever grows now)
But the pain inside remains the ghost
(It's haunting me, it's haunting me)
She says, "Please love me again"
(Please love me)
She says, "Please love me again"
She says, "Carve it deep, let it show"
(Oh let it show, oh let it show)
For all the world to see I know
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
The past is gone, the seed it grows
(Nothing here ever grows now)
But the pain inside remains the ghost
(It's haunting me, it's haunting me)
She says, "Carve it deep, let it show"
(Oh let it show, oh let it show)
For all the world to see I know
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
The past is gone, the seed it grows
(Nothing here ever grows now)
But the pain inside remains the ghost
(It's haunting me, it's haunting me)
She says, "Please love me again"
(Please love me)
She says, "Please love me again"

Run

I took my time and tied my shoes
(You take your love on the run)
I heard the gun but got confused
(You take your love on the run)
I did my best to catch you girl
But I never stood a chance
No trophy for second place
You always won the race
You never forget the one that got away
Started strong but that's no excuse
(You take your love on the run)
I fell behind you were mine to lose
(You take your love on the run)
I did my best to catch you girl
But I never stood a chance
No trophy for second place
You always won the race
You never forget the one that got away
Run run, you take your love on the run
I did my best to catch you girl
But I never stood a chance
No trophy for second place
You always won the race
You never forget the one that got away
Run run, you take your love on the run
Run run, you take your love on the run
