The Dreamer (Cover) 03:30
lyrics
buy track
I'm just a dreamer but I'm hanging on Though I am nothing big to offer I watch the birds, how they dive in then gone It's like nothing in this world's ever still And I'm just a shadow of your thoughts in me But sun is setting, shadows growing A long cast figure will turn into night It's like nothing in this world ever sleeps Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird And why can't that always be Tossing aside from your birches crown Just enough dark to see How you're the light over me And by your side, girl, where the acres grow Into the strong and stunning meadow A cowboy stumbling in the finest field And nothing good out there won't be old Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird And why can't that always be Tossing aside from your birches crown Just enough dark to see How you're the light over me Sometimes the blues is just a passing bird And why can't that always be Tossing aside from your birches crown Just enough dark to see How you're the light over me

I Saw the Light (Cover) 04:32
lyrics
buy track
It was late last night I was feeling something wasn't right There was not another soul in sight Only you, only you So we walked along, though I knew there was something wrong And the feeling hot me oh so strong about you Then you gazed up at me and the answer was plain to see 'Cause I saw the light in your eyes Though we had our fling I just never would suspect a thing 'Til that little bell began to ring in my head In my head But I tried to run, though I knew it wouldn't help me none 'Cause I couldn't ever love no one, or so I said But my feelings for you were just something I never knew 'Til I saw the light in your eyes But I love you best It's not something that I say in jest 'Cause you're different, girl, from all the rest In my eyes And I ran out before but I won't do it anymore Can't you see the light in my eyes

Things Happen (Cover) 03:51
lyrics

I could go on talking or I could stop Wring out each memory til' I get every drop Sift through the details of the others involved The true crime would be thinking it's just one persons fault Like an honest signature on a fake ID Like the guilty conscience with the innocent plea You can just ignore it put it out of mind But ain't it funny how the past won't ever let something lie Let's make a list of all things the world has put you through Let's raise a glass to all the people your not speaking to I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you Things happen That's all they ever do In a different time On a different floor I might morn the lose of who I'm not anymore So I'm driving up to oakland for a good look back And a few revisions to my plan of attack Let's make a list of all things the world has put you through Let's raise a glass to all the people your not speaking to I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you Things happen That's all they ever do I think I'll see lily see where she stands I can't help how I feel I don't think anyone can Sometimes we're lovers sometimes we're friends Behold the magnetism between two dead ends Let's make a list of all things the world has put you through Let's raise a glass to all the people your not speaking to I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you Things happen That's all they ever do Let's make a list of all things the world has put you through (We can qualify the spirit guides we listen to) Let's raise a glass to all the people your not speaking to (Or why are moms compelled to bronze your baby shoes) I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you Things happen That's all they ever do That's all they ever do That's all they ever do That's all they ever do

Don't Take the Money (Cover) 03:25
lyrics
buy track
Somebody broke me once Love was a currency A shimmering balance act I think that I laughed at that And I saw your face and hands Coloured in sun and then I think I understand Will I understand? Will we fight, stay up late? In my dreams I'm to blame Different sides of the bed Roll your eyes, shave my head Now we're stuck in the storm We were born to ignore And all I got is a chance to just sit (I'm in love and you've got me, runaway) You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want Don't take the money Don't take the money I slept on my own those nights Was still in my parents house And I cut off my t-shirt sleeves And claim a new continent 'Til I saw your face and hands Covered in sun and then I think I understand Will I understand? Will we fight, stay up late? In my dreams I'm to blame Different sides of the bed Roll your eyes, shake my head Now we're stuck in the storm We were born to ignore And all I got is a chance to just sit (I'm in love and you've got me, runaway) You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want Don't take the money Don't take the money You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want Don't take the money Don't take the money When you're looking for your shadow Standing on the edge of yourself Praying on the darkness Just don't take the money Dreaming of an easy Waking up without weight now And you're looking at the heartless Just don't take the money You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want Don't take the money Well, don't take the money (I'm in love and you've got me, runaway) You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want Don't take the money Don't take the money Just don't take the money Just don't take the money Just don't take the money Just don't take the money

Would You Rather (Cover) 03:12
lyrics
buy track
Playing would you rather When it comes to fire You always say that you'd prefer to drown You were still in the ambulance When the cop suggested You're the one who tried to burn it down Come to find out I'm a can on a string, you're on the end We find our way out Of a suicide pact of our family and friends In the background I'll be waiting We have the same face I laid awake As someone shoved you up against a wall Quarantined in a bad dream He's half the man And you're twice as tall Come to find out I'm a can on a string, you're on the end We find our way out Of a suicide pact of our family and friends In the background I'll be waiting Next time I see you you'll show me A hundred different ways to say the same things Come to find out I'm a can on a string, you're on the end We find our way out Of a suicide pact of our family and friends And when you touch down I'll be waving

Slow Burn (Cover) 04:00
lyrics
buy track
Born in a hurry, always late Haven't been early since '88 Texas is hot, I can be cold Grandma cried when I pierced my nose Good in a glass, good on green Good when you're putting your hands all over me I'm alright with a slow burn Taking my time, let the world turn I'm gonna do it my way, it'll be alright If we burn it down and it takes all night It's a slow burn, yeah In Tennessee, the sun's goin' down But in Beijing, they're heading out to work You know the bar down the street don't close for an hour We should take a walk and look at all the flowers 'Cause I'm alright with a slow burn Taking my time, let the world turn I'm gonna do it my way, it'll be alright If we burn it down and it takes all night It's a slow burn Mm, whatever feels good Old soul, waiting my turn I know a few things, but I still got a lot to learn So I'm alright with a slow burn, slow burn, slow burn Mm, I'm alright with a slow burn

Grow As We Go (Cover) 04:42
lyrics

You say there's so much you don't know You need to go and find yourself You say you'd rather be alone 'Cause you think you won't find it tied to someone else Ooh, who said it's true That the growing only happens on your own? They don't know me and you I don't think you have to leave If to change is what you need You can change right next to me When you're high, I'll take the lows You can ebb and I can flow And we'll take it slow And grow as we go Grow as we go You won't be the only one I am unfinished, I've got so much left to learn I don't know how this river runs But I'd like the company through every twist and turn Ooh, who said it's true That the growing only happens on your own? They don't know me and you You don't ever have to leave If to change is what you need You can change right next to me When you're high, I'll take the lows You can ebb and I can flow And we'll take it slow And grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go I don't know who we'll become I can't promise it's not written in the stars But I believe that when it's done We're gonna see that it was better That we grew up together Tell me you don't wanna leave 'Cause if change is what you need You can change right next to me When you're high, I'll take the lows You can ebb and I can flow We'll take it slow And grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go

All Too Well (Cover) 05:20
lyrics
buy track
I walked through the door with you, the air was cold But something 'bout it felt like home somehow and I Left my scarf there at your sister's house And you still got it in your drawer even now Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place And I can picture it after all these days And I know it's long gone and That magic's not here no more And I might be okay But I'm not fine at all Oh, oh, oh 'Cause there we are again on that little town street You almost ran the red 'cause you were looking over me Wind in my hair, I was there, I remember it all too well Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turning red You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-size bed And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on a tee ball team You tell me 'bout your past, thinking your future was me And I know it's long gone and There was nothing else I could do And I forget about you long enough To forget why I needed to 'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night We dance around the kitchen in the refrigerator light Down the stairs, I was there, I remember it all too well, yeah Maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up Running scared, I was there, I remember it all too well Hey, you call me up again just to break me like a promise So casually cruel in the name of being honest I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here 'Cause I remember it all, all, all too well Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone But you keep my old scarf from that very first week 'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me You can't get rid of it, 'cause you remember it all too well, yeah 'Cause there we are again, when I loved you so Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well Wind in my hair, you were there, you remember it all Down the stairs, you were there, you remember it all It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well

Falling Slowly (Cover) 03:39
lyrics
buy track
I don't know you But I want you All the more for that Words fall through me And always fool me And I can't react And games that never amount To more than they're meant Will play themselves out Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice You'll make it now Falling slowly, eyes that know me And I can't go back And moods that take me and erase me And I'm painted black Well, you have suffered enough And warred with yourself It's time that you won Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice You've made it now Falling slowly, sing your melody I'll sing along
