Country To Me
03:28
|
|||
never hitched a ride down an old dusty road
never chased the sun across the open plain
but I've seen the mist out on the wild and windy moor
even though that's not the same
this is where my feet touch the ground
this is where my heart will always be found
this ain't Tennessee
but it feels like country to me
never felt the desert wind touch on my skin
never seen a tumble weed blowing in the wind
but when I see that magpie dancing on the line
I'll know I'm alive
this is where my feet touch the ground
this is where my heart will always be found
this ain't Tennessee
but it feels like country to me
I've never felt so lost not until I was found
never felt like a stranger to myself in my own hometown
I guess it doesn't matter what you say or what you do
your soul is gonna take you where it wants you
this is where my feet touch the ground
this is where my heart will always be found
this ain't Tennessee
but it feels like country to me
this is where my feet touch the ground
this is where my heart will always be found
this ain't Tennessee
but it feels like country to me

The Space In Between
03:15
|
|||
they say that all the good things
must come to those who wait
but nothing's ever easy
I find it hard to resign myself to fate
I don't wanna take up all your time
I don't want to steal your life
but I really think that it could be quite nice
if you could be you
and I could be me
and somehow somewhere I'll meet you in the space in-between
I've never felt a fire
that didn't start life as a spark
striking blindly out of nowhere
a lightning bolt cutting through the dark
I don't wanna take up all your time
I don't want to steal your life
but I really think that it could be quite nice
if you could be you
and I could be me
and somehow somewhere I'll meet you in the space in-between
I don't go for expectations
I want to roll along like the tide
I don't wanna push too far
through my impatience
I'll pray that the stars align
and you could be you
and I could be me
and somehow somewhere I'll meet you in the space in-between
you could be you
and I could be me
and somehow somewhere I'll meet you in the space in-between

Take Comfort
03:39
|
|||
a shadow falls on the horizon
there's a storm rolling in now from the west
its time to find out what we're made of
it may be time to put the flood gates to the test
I'll find a car and I'll come get you
take you away from here
we don't even need to say a word
I'll take comfort just to know you're near
have you ever felt the lightning?
burning as it pours into the corners of your soul
I've never been that good at running
you'd always catch me half a minute down the road
I'll find a car and I'll come get you
take you away from here
we don't even need to say a word
I'll take comfort just to know you're near
the butterflies are flying high
round and round they go
fly on ever further on to find your home
the butterflies are flying high
round and round they go
fly on ever onwards
find your home
I'll find a car and I'll come get you
take you away from here
we don't even need to say a word
I'll take comfort just to know you're near
I'll find a car, I'll find a car oh
I'll find a car, I'll find a car oh
and I'll come get you

What Would You Say?
03:07
|
|||
making excuses not to show you my winning hand
speaking in silence it's a language only I understand
sometimes I feel invisible but I made myself this way
I wonder...
what would you say if I asked you to stay
what would you say take a leap of faith
what would you say if I told you my truth
I didn't want to fall but I'm falling
time on my hands leaving too much time for daydreams
I can really be something when im not my own worst enemy
sometimes I feel invisible but I made myself this way
I wonder...
what would you say if I asked you to stay
what would you say take a leap of faith
what would you say if I told you my truth
I didn't want to fall but I'm falling
when I fall I fall deep
yes I fall in all the wrong places
I seem to have a habit of filling up all of my empty spaces
what would you say if I asked you to stay
what would you say take a leap of faith
what would you say if I told you my truth
I didn't want to fall but I'm falling
what would you say if I asked you to stay
what would you say take a leap of faith
what would you say if I told you my truth
I didn't want to fall but I'm falling
falling

Except For Blue
04:16
|
|||
waiting for the wind to rattle my windows
and the rain to beat down my door
for a moment I was afraid no more
when my heart is in need of the shelter
and my bones consumed in the fire
I surrender my redemption for my hearts desire
when I find myself running through the dark
still learning how to walk
blinded by the light from you
I saw all the colours of my rainbow except for blue
looking out over my new horizon
a line so close yet just out of reach
with every word I'm in collision with my memory
when I find myself running through the dark
still learning how to walk
blinded by the light from you
I saw all the colours of my rainbow except for blue
for a second, for a minute, for an hour, for a day
these moments will make up a lifetime
its the moments that hand me a lifeline
when I find myself running through the dark
still learning how to walk
blinded by the light from you
I saw all the colours of my rainbow except for blue
all the colours of my rainbow except for blue

Drive Away
04:02
|
|||
brick by brick I build the walls
but still my house feels like it's made of straw
these sinking sands won't bear my weight
as I get caught up in this desert storm
old friends old roads and telegraph poles
all my bridges burning in to the ground
as gods and monsters war outside
the only sound I hear is my piece of mind
try not to worry when i'm gone, I won't be long
when I drive away
find my road to nowhere
turn around and come back again
drive away
cos sometimes I need the emptiness
sometimes I need the loneliness
to help light up my way
sticks and stones won't break my bones
but a whisper on the breeze may blow me down
I could punch the walls or drink alone
but there just ain't enough
whiskey in this town
when I drive away
find my road to nowhere
turn around and come back again
drive away
cos sometimes I need the emptiness
sometimes I need the loneliness
to help light up my way
try not to worry when im gone, cos I won't be long
when I drive away
find my road to nowhere
turn around and come back again
drive away
cos sometimes I need the emptiness
sometimes I need the loneliness
to help light up my way
sometimes I need the emptiness
sometimes I need the loneliness
the help light up my way

Lord Don't Let Me Fall
02:59
|
|||
made a deal with the devil and someday
I've got to sell him a soul
I took a walk by the riverside
I could feel my blood running cold
there must be something in the water
helping my fall from grace
like a drifter in the night I disappear without a trace
oh lord don't let me fall
lord don't let me fall
I've been pushing my luck for so long
I can't remember wrong over right
I wasn't looking for a revolution
I call that someone else's fight
there must be something in the water
making me fall this way
I'm not much of a whiskey drinker
but man I'm getting messed up today
oh lord don't let me fall
lord don't let me fall
now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
angels watch me through the night
and wake me with the morning light
oh lord don't let me fall
lord don't let me fall
oh lord don't let me fall
lord don't let me fall
I made a deal with the devil and someday
I've got to sell him a soul.

Shot In The Dark
02:56
|
|||
gonna pick up the phone and call you up on a Friday night
yeah it's times like these you gotta find your voice
or you'll lose your mind
singing songs and telling stories until we see the sun
about something or nothing
or everything all at once
if the night is always darkest before the dawn
lets take a shot in the dark and turn that light on
one day you'll sit beside me and I'll pour the wine
I'd be a happy man with nothing more than a minute of your time
well I may not be a lot of things but lord know's I'll be trying
to put a smile on your face and leave it there for a while
if the night is always darkest before the dawn
lets take a shot in the dark and turn that light on
if the night is always darkest before the dawn
lets take a shot in the dark and turn that light on
they say there's alway some calm before a storm
maybe we'll light a fire, raise a glass and watch it burn

All We Need Is A Road
04:23
|
|||
Monday morning 6am
I got to drag myself out of bed again
doing the 9-5
trying to stay alive
yeah we gotta make it work somehow
when I met you we were 17
I saw the fire in your eyes
when you smiled at me
now we're 35
and we're still alive
this flame still burns inside of me
but sometimes its good to get away
so you can realise
how far you came
all we need is a road and a song
making sunny day memories of you and me
if you've got the time let me take the wheel
roll the windows down
and we can be anything we wanna be
so anywhere you wanna go
all we need is a road
on a Friday its like another world
take the whole weekend getting back to earth
see the same old face in the same old places
its good that some things never change
but sometimes its good to get away
so you can see the light
brighter than yesterday
all we need is a road and a song
making sunny day memories of you and me
if you've got the time let me take the wheel
roll the windows down
and we can be anything we wanna be
so anywhere you wanna go
all we need is a road
all we need is a road and a song
making sunny day memories of you and me
if you've got the time let me take the wheel
roll the windows down
and we can be anything we wanna be
so anywhere you wanna go
all we need is a road

Walk The Long Way Home
04:04
|
|||
they say that charity begins and ends at home
and all those that say home is where the heart is
have never lived alone
between these walls there's a door that only opens when the wind blows
your smile saw it coming but your eyes were the last to know
and silently you scream
as you stare right through me
put on your brave face and go out and chase the day
put on your brave face
ain't that what the people say
when everything feels broken
but nothing is set in stone
put on your brave face
and walk the long way home
what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger
and tonight I could use some strength to help me feel like I belong here
round and around and around
you hit me like a freight train
round after round, round and around again
the moonlight starts to fade
as night turns in to day
put on your brave face and go out and chase the day
put on your brave face
ain't that what the people say
when everything feels broken
but nothing is set in stone
put on your brave face
and walk the long way home
put on your brave face and go out and chase the day
put on your brave face
ain't that what the people say
when everything feels broken
but nothing is set in stone
put on your brave face
and walk the long way home

Green Light
02:53
|
|||
everybody's looking
but no one knows what they're looking for
its like seeing
as if you've never seen through these eyes before
every corner turned will lead you through another unlocked door
will you take my hand
gimme a green light on a blue sky
and a burning flame behind your eyes
a falling star and a wandering heart
will walk you home when it gets dark
any road will take you where you've been before
but this road will take you home
when you've been walking
to the beat of someone else's drum
it gets easy
to forget what you wanted when you were young
when all that's left to hope for
is another trip around the sun
will you take my hand
gimme a green light on a blue sky
and a burning flame behind your eyes
a falling star and a wandering heart
will walk you home when it gets dark
any road will take you where you've been before
but this road will take you home
as simple as it is that one and one makes two
just say that you love me and I'll say that I love you
gimme a green light on a blue sky
and a burning flame behind your eyes
a falling star and a wandering heart
will walk you home when it gets dark
any road will take you where you've been before
but this road will take you home

Let Me Down Easy
04:03
|
|||
sometimes I feel like I'm a little too much
sometimes I feel like I just aint enough
I can be crazy, I can be stupid
I can be thoughtless, I can be reckless
but I would cross oceans of time just to find
a little space in your life
but if you gotta let me down then let me down easy
I may never fall again so it's bound to hurt
if you gotta let me down
then let me down
but let me down easy
sometimes I feel like I want more than what I've got
sometimes I forget to see what I have not what I've not
I can be crazy, I can be stupid
I can be thoughtless, I can be reckless
but I would cross oceans of time just to find
a little space in your life
but if you gotta let me down then let me down easy
I may never fall again so it's bound to hurt
if you gotta let me down
then let me down
but let me down easy
all I am is a rolling stone
I keep rolling along, until I'm gone
but if you gotta let me down then let me down easy
I may never fall again so it's bound to hurt
if you gotta let me down
then let me down
but let me down easy
but if you gotta let me down then let me down easy
I may never fall again so it's bound to hurt
if you gotta let me down
then let me down
but let me down easy
