  • You are a satellite
    You don’t blink across my sky
    I’m all alone at night
    You’re drifting far
    Woke up from a long nap
    I guess I was sleeping
    I don’t feel wiser I’m still tired
    I just broke through the clouds
    I don’t know where I am
    Ten years older
    A ring on my hand
    Shiloh doesn’t know my name
    I work downtown
    I don’t mean to sound ungrateful
    I’m just surprised

    Time passed me by, Passed me by
    Time passed me by, Passed me by
    Time passed me by, Passed me by
    Time passed me by, Passed me by
    Time passed me by, Passed me by
    Time passed me by, Passed me by
    Time passed me by, Passed me by
    Time passed me by, Passed me by
    Time passed me by, Passed me by
    Time passed me by, Passed me by
    Time passed me by, Passed me by
    Time passed me by, Passed me by
    Time passed me by, Passed me by
    Time passed me by, Passed me by
    Time passed me by, Passed me by
    Time passed me by

  • I want to make someone feel something
    I wanna say something hasn't been said before
    I think I know all the answers
    But I do not ask any questions
    Mmmm Mmmm
    Mmmm Mmmm

    All my lies
    They have to rhyme
    Maybe they don't
    Why is this song so hard to write Maybe it's not

    As long as you are okay
    Maybe I don't have to be
    “I'm fine” is my go to line
    There is comfort in the shadow

    All my lies
    They have to rhyme
    Maybe they don't
    Why is this song so hard to write Maybe it's not
    Ooooh
    All my lies
    They have to rhyme
    Maybe they don't
    Why is this song so hard to write Maybe it's not
    Mmmm Mmmm
    Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm

  • Some people need
    More from me
    Than I can give
    What I can give
    Is never enough

    Why so serious
    Flowers in a fling
    You grow in the weeds
    Let me be weaned

    Mine
    Mine

    Why so serious

    You grow in the weeds
    Let me be weaned

  • Do you know we've all got scars
    They make us who we are
    And if you're still bleeding
    That's not right
    Stubborn man does it on his own
    Strong man knows he's not alone

    I'm sorry
    That looks so heavy

    Are you okay
    It's alright if you're not
    And it's true we are not the same
    But your pain is my pain

    I'm Sorry
    That Looks so heavy
    I’m Sorry

  • Did you walk away or did I
    Or did we both change
    Don't worry about my soul
    Build bridges over walls
    We don't see the same
    No one sees me like you do

    My mother taught me
    How to love
    And ask for what I need
    I'll respect you
    Will you respect me
    We will disagree
    Mother
    Come back to me

    Somebody once told me
    There's nothing bad coming to get you
    There is no them
    If there is I'm one of them
    We all have a common enemy
    Inside of you and me

    My mother taught me
    How to love
    And ask for what I need
    I'll respect you
    Will you respect me
    We will disagree
    Mother
    Come back to me

    Ooooh
    Come back to me
    Ooooh
    Come back to me

  • Estate sale sign
    Caught my eye
    I went inside
    I didn’t know you
    I hope a piece of all of us is carried on
    Like the tune to a song
    One that goes on and on

    You’ve got me thinking
    About what I’m leaving
    When they don’t know me
    Mmmmmmm

    Driving around
    Downtown
    People walking by
    Everyone is going to die
    Maybe you can live forever
    In the minds of those
    Who remember

    You’ve got me thinking
    About what I’m leaving
    When they don’t know me
    Mmmmmmm

    I didn’t know
    I didn’t know
    I didn’t know
    I didn’t know
    I didn’t know
    I didn’t know
    I didn’t know

    Mmmmmmm
    Mmmmmmm
    Mmmmmmm

  • There's more than this
    Baby there's more
    There's more than this
    Baby there more

    Come with me
    I don't know where
    It's okay that you are scared
    You see the green
    I see the gray
    For what it's worth
    I tried to stay

    There's more than this
    Baby there's more
    There's more than this
    Baby there more

    Come with me
    I don't know where
    It's okay that you are scared
    You see the green
    I see the gray
    For what it's worth
    I tried to stay

    Ohhh
    Ohhh

    Now my anxiety
    Is my priority
    My wall of smiling
    Is making a hole in me
    Always ahead of me
    But I'm right where I should be
    Holding my boundary
    But you're much too lonely
    You will grow old with me
    You will grow old with me
    You will grow old with me
    You will grow old with me

  • I’m afraid to look at my phone tonight
    Will I be defined by what I find
    It’s not that I’m afraid to be in the light
    But are you someone I can hide behind

    If you believe in me
    Maybe I won't have to
    If you believe in me
    Maybe I won’t have to
    Ooooo
    If you believe in me
    Maybe I won’t have to
    Maybe I won’t have to

    Why do possibilities feel like pressure to me
    If you tell me what to do
    Then I won't have to choose
    I know I can do anything
    Anything is too many options

    If you believe in me
    Maybe I won't have to
    If you believe in me
    Maybe I won’t have to
    Ooooo
    If you believe in me
    Maybe I won’t have to
    Maybe I won’t have to
    Oh
    Maybe I won’t have to

    If you believe in me
    Maybe I won't have to
    If you believe in me
    Maybe I won’t have to
    Oh
    If you believe in me
    Maybe I won’t have to
    Maybe I won’t have to

  • Blue to black
    Certainty had always been a friend
    Sifting leaves things behind
    I look up at the moon
    It knows more than I do

    And I’ll wait
    I’ll wait for tomorrow
    But I won’t forget

    I feel two things at once
    But it’s easier to call it all bad and move on
    I’m still soft
    The heart is mild
    Poke a hole and watch it as it pours out wine

    And I'll wait
    I'll wait for tomorrow
    But I won’t forget

    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
    Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

    The sky is getting brighter
    A ribbon at a time
    As luster seeps unto my heavy eyes

“DID I WIN WHEN I WON”

  • Refuse
    Forget
    The long Torment
    The bigger man
    Won’t understand

    You said I’d come around
    I did
    But just kept walking
    With a limp
    I could have just said

    Now my back’s a little stiff
    From lying in our bed
    Trying not to hold your hand
    Would it have been so bad

    Oh if I could open up
    And tell you why I’m stuck
    Would you take advantage
    Or listen in

    Oh now I don’t want to talk
    But you’ll listen if I walk
    So I’m running
    I’m still running

    Did I win when I won
    The fight against the stubborn kid
    Who won’t give in
    This could happen again

    Mmmm
    Mmmm
    Mmmm
    Mmmm
    Mmmm
    Mmmm
