There you were Wrapped in a red flag Wearing a warning sign For me... Now every night When my eyes are closed I host a banquet For ghosts... 

Baby would you love it if I could recover it The tired, disfigured, desired, sentiment... Said I know that I don't want a cycle through In and out of all these holes Through the cracks of all these walls So, baby would you love it if I could recover i...

Came back again Come knocking down your door With a fist full of heart And a radio I can’t get the girl To play any songs i wrote Cus’ she gave it up for the sideshow So there ain’t much more to say to you There ain’t much more to say So there ain’...

This stream that passes me by No dreams, no spirits run dry I know that you would love to meet me here I know I've got no choice Two years since I heard your voice And then you call and say you'd like to talk Haven't you seen these scars Buried inside...

Talk is cheap, but baby, not to me the words you speak can bring me to my knees I’m ok, I’m ok, I’m ok… as long as you’re not leaving… I’m ok, I’m ok, I’m ok As long as you’re not leaving… leaving me here… I meant to tell you the truth— it’s not the...

Will you receive That I believe You're beautiful Will you receive That I can see You're beautiful Withered and gold An autumn leaf blows Need you more proof Of the treasures in the fallen And the retreat to youth A little more grace A little less...

Two fires, they're breathing Running out of air Two hearts, they're beating Feeding this affair It's too far for a clean escape Demons on my sleeve They're not what you expected When I asked you to believe For you, for me Make me a better man For y...

Weightless in the silence, the only thing you hear. It came between the riddles and the question marks that all appear. You don't want to stay here with all the stop and go, Moving up, moving on, move away along the road. The time is here, stop with all...

I have nothing more than this tonight: hope for a dream to pass you by you’d see me fight…for you, my bride though it may sway like oceans’ waves, love comes to life in your embrace for you, i’d give my life away and as we are leaving the grips of this...

One more day left of summer We’re still chasing the numbers We’re not getting any younger Why? You came forward on the shoulders Of giant waves pulled from corners Of oceans—violent and tortured Why…those eyes? Don’t you know, don’t you know I can’t c...

Pony up and meet me where the ocean meets the sand Relieve me, relieve me Breaking waves are hard to chase with tremors in your hands Oh…. So carry me Inside the autumn breeze Far from the rivalries That leave me cold That leave me cold Waking up I...

Do you remember me Do you remember me? Do you remember what we said we’d lost And what it cost? Do you recall the scene Do you recall the scene? Do you remember whispering to me That we were free And you were always on my side… Cold winds blow in A...

Another morning And I’m still holding onto you…to you I’ll write you letters Makes me a better man for…and I’d do Anything, any way Forever after All of the steps you take, I’m standing still Let it go and try to get some sleep… Another morning And I...

Chances…we had when we were young… held as ransom…by Future’s setting sun there’s no use fighting a faceless tyrant— voices inside of my head with their subtle wishes and coldest kisses, they’ll climb up inside of my bed… singin’ ‘what’s the use in pus...

Heavy breath on my fingertips I can feel you waiting Wrapped inside of a lover's spiral No hesitating The orbit, the tightrope, the sound Spin me round and round The walls fall down My am I on fire for you My am I on fire for you Is this one desire f...

ELEMENT I’ve been waiting… wish I was watching you… in the daylight—a perfect view this is always a favorite of mine I don’t wanna go, cus’ it means I’d have to throw this Element of mine…aside what if I don’t wanna be the lonely one? the truth, I...

It's creeping around the bend Death illuminates our lives relive within Like a black sunrise Reality takes shape and form and fills the skies Some questions will fade these will remain Are you? Are you gonna fall behind? Do you? Do you feel these holes...

I see you bite your bottom lip Can you feel my kisses on your hips? I almost hear you catch your breath My ghost is whispering in your head ‘no… you’re not home…’ I’m on a fire escape Where you said to wait And I did, I did I heard the cold wind say...

I'll run my fingers through your hair tonight There's no one else, I'm sure of this I need you now I'll give you all of me I'll make you mine If you'll take me and make me Your first in line, oh I've made my home in your heart and your mind And you l...

First time to meet you, I couldn't be wrong I swear that I've known you all along The conversation's honest, and her heart is straight so Wide awake and wishful Had a dream, saw a thousand miles of highway, you and me No one's trying to stop this, they ca...

I’m giving up my ghost today I wonder why it ends this way Everything I give, you take You’re on your way I don’t wanna die alone Kiss my lips, hold me close Head to head we’ll sink the boat Let’s try it tow to tow I’ve been on my knees again Wishin...

Oh my my my, my sweetest friend Oh my my what have I done Oh no, no, no not this again Oh no, no, no please God But he battens down his hatches Closes his eyes Begs the Good Lord for the answers he's never gonna find And washed out in the shadows, I'm...

My hands at your sides Your hands wrapped closely around a hope for you and I That’s one more reason why I can’t let you go My heart was broke before Your heart came boldly through the door In through the storm And for that I’ll give you my life and lov...

This ain't right, this ain't right, this ain't right This ain't right, this ain't right, this ain't right So lay your hand in mine Pull me back inside Show me how in love Your heart ceases to fight Tear my skin Get it Give everything again And then I...

Lost the night I met you long ago and no exchange was made occasionally see you across the table enough to get a glance but not a name But now you woke up and I found you waiting for a hand to hold your key I come out of the blue and tell you I don...

I can feel you hesitating as your breath begins to shake thread a needle and i’ll weave my way in and out, your doubts unraveling So long December, baby I am sinking in if you don’t remember me, I hope you’re listening yeah I miss you again, again yeah I miss...

Never thought it would end up this way Never thought it be true I've always known that love is gambling Just never thought I could loose on you And how do I move now that you've moved on? And how do I fight now that you're long gone? And how I dream now...

Do you feel different now that you spit me out do you like hiding inside his arms for now babe... though it hurts me to say i don't know you that way i guess the writing's on the wall i don't know you at all i'm still waiting still shiverin...

Almost gone, tired of pretending Cus' all these thoughts can't match a feeling I'm sick and cold, scanning the radio Looking for a match, not a rivalry. Cus' I don't have a clue, just a feeling. So I keep my distance, Scream and shout at whispers As th...

‘Maybe next Christmas’ she used to say ‘We’ll find a new life and we’ll both run away maybe next Christmas I won’t be with him maybe next Christmas we can start fresh again Maybe next Christmas we’ll have reaped what we’ve sown Maybe next Christmas we’ll have...

I use to find a feeling when I use to pres so high No time to look for reason when you living all these lies Raise hell and if they tllin’ wil end it up alone You turn that inch over now Ain’t runnin so cold [Don’'t make me less of a mess of a man...

Rise up from the city like the fire that ate your bones The coldest mystery of misery is Dying here on your own I’ve seen all the answers But all the questions remain unknown I’m still giving away the only escape that remains Come on come on Help me ou...

The girl said forever, But she still may never be sold on the heart of this place Sweet was her mother and kind was her brother But neither would meet face to face Don’t give up now Don’t’ give up now cos’ we’re already here... Don’t give up now Don’t...

Lay me down on shores of the whitest sand soft like that woman with the fight of a thousand men and if you find the key would you set me free? if you find the key would you set me free? I'm screaming to God ‘would you come and save what you've eith...

I was nothing but a reason To a girl with a feeling Now she’s looking for a man who can flip a switch And not give a shit Write a nice check Nothing to risk I was everything she wanted Nice and dead and disappointed Now I’m looking for a woman who can...

You somehow see inside me When I lay down You steal my dreams easily When you're around Quiet lies Whisper whispered all the time No more silent treatment I am screaming in your ear I'm starving stop at nothing Til I am inside you for good For good...

Two lovers, two fighters two ships out at sea threading the needle with astonishing ease We don't even know what we argued about today Sun's about to set as I pour her the first rosé There's fire in a pact and there's no going back the swells are go...

A sunrise, a black tide’s rolling in from a cutter’s night a heartbeat—a mystery of five fingers cradling a new pain a stiff vein it’s blood red in the pouring rain I can’t feel the cold steel peel the skin back and break the seal it’s ok, it’s ok,...

I met this feeling on the freeway… can’t keep it from gettin in my soul. some folks they say you’re so damn lucky… but they don’t have to call that home… ain’t got no business in that circus, I ain’t no traveling rollin’ stone, I’ll put it all inside th...

Are you the one who Can unlock the door to The end of the shame? Knock knock knock knock Knock knock Am I the one who Is able to walk through And see what awaits? Knock knock knock knock Knock knock Well I go out And I get Wasted And you taste i...

I hear you breathing Your heartbeat small, but strong A child like Summer With eyes like skies of Fall An heavy is the heartache When you’re never around Wherever your sweet heart is, I hope it’s safe and sound I hope you’re safe….and sound Sweet–yo...

As I came up from the dark… you met me there with a spark now we are covered in flames burning alive in the rain. Right here, right now you’ve got to somehow show me that you will be there in the end. Before we’re ridden with diseases and picking up th...

You don’t love me Like I love you It’s pretty simple It’s pretty cruel It’s pretty cruel… I don’t have time, don’t have the right According to your silent eyes To keep this anxious love alive But I guess…I guess… You gave me away You don’t love me...

Load up on guns and bring your friends. It`s fun to lose and to pretend. She`s over bored and self assured. Oh no, I know a dirty word. Hello? hello? hello? I don't know. Hello? hello? hello? How low. Hello? hello? hello? How low. Hello? hello? hello? W...

Birmingham, 1963… a blue-eyed boy on safe ground just like me… can you hear those screams comin over that mountain? the sound of supremacy forced on thousands… can we recall when hearts haven’t changed at all? when hate reigns in rings of fire, and gen...

If finders were keepers, I’d still be at home Take it or leave it, i’ll show you the ropes When you no longer see me I’ll be gone So much for answers, i don’t have a clue I can hear ya, you’re calling from outside my room You’re still locked inside me...

I am the reason The reason for you You can only breathe because I let you. Come to your senses Wake from your dream I am the wolf in your darkest room. And I just want to taste you on my teeth, I'm clawing at your neck to feed my needs. You thought...

Charm me... Disarm me... But don’t let me down Don’t let me down Don’t let me down Don’t let me down Don't let me down 

Take…take nothing, babe and give…give yourself away the timeless art of men No time for throwing punches yet you fight for her, yeah you fight for her when all of you’s gone and lifeless you die for her, yeah you die for her… again. Streets…buried in...

Where am I headed? Got my back against the wall Can’t move on, can’t move forward When I’m up against it all For you, I know I must let you go Everybody waits in line For you Tonight I feel like giving up this right Oh this right Tonight I don’t...

Sweet lavender on an overcoat– That scent you left on all my clothes I can still feel your heartbeat on chest Your breath–it’s gone You can knock me out cold You can fence me in Keep runnin' all you want But I will track you down It took a heart of s...
