IT

It’s when I need it, it disappears
Even though it hasn’t moved in years
The second I try to take it, it’s gone
When it counts, it all goes wrong
Somebody, someone help me find it
It seems to have slipped my grasp this time
Somebody, someone can you tell me
Where it’s gone and why it hides
It just sits there, I pay no mind
It’s when I’m in need, it’s hard to find
Doesn’t matter how hard I try
Won’t come back ‘til it’s off my mind
I need you to tell me
I need you to show me
I need you to help me
Let me know that it’s alright

Moving along
Holding your hand
Humming a tune from the radio band
Wouldn't you like to
Go back where we've been to
When we were much younger
And every dream came true
Times they have changed
Faces have aged
We're not the same
As we were the first day
Couldn't we try to
Be how we used to
When this love was younger
And all that I wanted was you
All these things that I want back
I watch them slipping through the cracks
As I let go of the past
I just thought this love would last
And it ended all too fast
What happened to our love
What happened to our love
Gone are the days
Of your lovely face
Your disarming grace
Was it all a waste
I try hard not to
Forget what we've been through
Cause you've got a hold on my heart babe
Driving alone
I hear our song
I wish you were here
Singing along

Don't Go Away
04:33
|

Our time is standing still
A hundred hours I could kill
Watching you just watching me
Both pretending we can’t see
As pretty as a picture
Inside a perfect frame
I wanna hold your hand
But I don’t know your name
Don’t go away
Please say you’ll stay
Tell me your name
Don’t go away
You’re playing with your hair
Oh I can’t help but stare
I try to catch your eye
Is it me or are you shy
Will I ever see you again
Will I ever see you again
Maybe not and that’s alright
It was nice to meet you anyway

She Feels Like Home
03:11
|

|
Her voice sounds like home
Every word she speaks
Ringing in my heart
Oh she feels like home to me
Her eyes look like home
Bluer than the sea
The windows to her soul
Yes she feels like home to me
Her heart feels like home
Every single beat
I want to know her more
Because she feels like home to me
Her voice sounds like home
Her eyes look like home
Her heart feels like home
Oh she feels like home to me

Excuses
05:15
|
|||
|
Throw your clothes in an old suitcase
Sling a backpack over your shoulder
Cause today’s the day, you’d start on your way
If only the weather wasn’t so cold here
You say you’ll try again tomorrow
And resolve to hold out one more day
Maybe tomorrow, everything will be perfect
Maybe tomorrow you’ll be on your way
Excuses, excuses, they have no uses
They’re just empty words
Excuses, excuses, to tell you what the truth is
Are just a waste of time
You pray aloud and count your blessings
At night before you sleep
Hoping that by morning time
You won’t have to leave to earn your keep
Just a waste of time
It’s not quite time, it doesn’t feel right
You’ve been sayin’ that for years
By now your time has surely passed you by

Fear Of Trying
04:31
|

|
The edge is too close
The hill is too steep
The road is too long
The river too deep
The air is too toxic
The motion too fast
You won’t even try
You’re scared you might crash
Just sit on your comfort
And don’t move at all
Life is much easier
When you don’t ever fall
The load is too heavy
The wait is too long
You’re too scared to try
Something might go wrong
The drive is too far
The way is unclear
So stay where you are
In the middle of your fear
Take your time
You will find
Life will pass you by
