I Think It's Real
03:19

Good grief at too much speed
Didn’t take much of anything
To change my point of view
Some say it’s the weight of the world, I think so too
I miss those days when I didn’t miss those days
Now a half drunk glass in a half-drunk daze
I still act crazy,
When I see your face
Do you still want me like you used to
When you used to come and pick me up
We had our hard times,
But it felt like easy love
I hope the world keeps turning
So I can see this through
I just don’t know what it’s like to live a life If it’s not filled with you
Can you feel it?
‘Cause I can feel it too
It’s like you’re in the room
Who am I kidding
I’m confused by the way that I’m feeling
But whatever it is that I feel,
I think it’s real

All For Nothing
03:49
|

Sometimes I feel like I’m wasting my time,
Losing my mind,
All for nothing
But when I think of what’s in my head
All the time,
I’m lost inside
All for nothing
Time after time, we come to find
That if it’s not right by now, then it won’t be right
Not without your help
Marry me, you can have me all for yourself
What are the things that make up your mind
Did I make up my mind,
All for nothing
Are you gonna just leave things be,
Or leave me behind,
All for nothing
Time after time, we come to find
That if it’s not right by now, then it won’t be right
Are you gonna stick around, tough it out
Or try to get away somehow
Because I’ve got to know
Am I’m part of your plan
Do you want to leave and find yourself
Or are you gonna be my man
Wish I could figure you out,
But you’re so damn proud

Change
03:46

I always knew, I just didn’t want to say
If it’s a dream that I’m trying to keep alive,
I wish I could awake
I wish I didn’t feel it,
But it’s give and take,
All of the ‘could have been’ good things
That time took away
Don’t be so hard on yourself
What would it mean, if I put it all aside
Never settle for nothing ‘cause something’s
Just too hard to find
I threw out all the jealousy, it was heavy anyway
If I can’t have always, I don’t want it to stay
You can change your voice, change your style
Be who you want to be for a little while
But don’t be too hard on yourself
Here I go leaving,
Nearsighted dreaming
I’ve had a hard time finding who I’m supposed to be
Wasting time looking for a rhyme or a reason to believe
Oh, I need to take a moment,
Reassess and realign, it all comes at a price
One that I won’t pay,
I always knew, I just didn’t want to say

Somehow (Wild Roses)
03:24
|
|||
On a night like tonight
You can feel it in the air
Something big is going down,
Somewhere in town,
And they say I need to be there
But I don’t know
It feels a little strange
These days I’m out on my own
Just wanna stay at home,
Say I’m calling it a night,
But I’ll just stare at my phone
All I wanted were wild roses
But I feel like I got lost out in the weeds
Somehow
Now I can dim the lights,
And get right,
There’s no one else around
Caught in between how it used to be
And the way it is now
But it’s easy
Getting distracted
All my wasting time
And overreacting
All I wanted were wild roses
But I feel like I got lost out in the weeds
Bringing home wild roses
Made me feel like I was right where I needed to be
Somehow
Then I realize
Almost overnight
That I’ve got to go my own way
Even if that’s to stay
Home alone
All I wanted were wild roses
But I still feel like I’m lost out in the weeds

Fearlessly
04:07
|
|||
Come on,
Please
Will you do good for me
Fearlessly
No don’t you grab my hand
Please
I’ll tell you where I’m going
But I can’t see
Think of me anytime and there I’ll be
Think of me all the time
Please

Levity
02:45
|
|||
Maybe I was too close too it
So I couldn’t see
Now I see that everything I want
Is right in front of me, and I know
There’s nothing better that I could do Than hang out with you
You are the light of my life
I threw away all I knew
Found my own point of view
There’s no doubt we’ll make it through
Every time, and I know why
Levity, you’ll see
Nothing happens when you want it to
Not the way you want it to
But what you get will have to do
To make it through
It takes a lot to be strong
When you can’t get along
If you don’t take the time to find
Something that makes you happy
You’ll be unhappy for all of your life
But now we don’t have to try

Be Yourself
04:59

Everything is better when you learn
From the mistakes that you’ve made
But I’m afraid of change,
And nothing ever stays the same
Time will forever be,
One that makes a fool of me,
Leaves me crying in the rain
Maybe it was a fall from grace
I didn’t think it’d last this long
Did I ever tell the truth
Or was I just wrapped up in the song
But I’m gonna learn to love it
Maybe enough to stay
Not like it would change anything
Too little and a little too late
Everything is better when you learn
From the mistakes that you’ve made
But I’m afraid of change,
And nothing ever stays the same
Time will forever be,
One that makes a fool of me,
Leaves me crying in the rain
Aren’t you tired of putting on
Such a strong face
Biding time until you find your break
From the chances you take,
To the things that you say,
All of the heartache and the pain
When you could just be yourself
Everything is better when you learn
From the mistakes that you’ve made
But I’m afraid of change,
And nothing ever stays the same
Time will forever be,
One that makes a fool of me,
Leaves me crying in the rain
Rewrite the words,
Make the song a little more sad
Everything is better when I learn
From the mistakes that I’ve made
But I’m afraid of change,
And nothing ever stays the same
Time will forever be,
One that makes a fool of me,
Leaves me crying in the rain
If we all give a little
From the little that we have
If we all give a little
Maybe it won’t hurt so bad

Favorite Kind of Feeling
05:34
|
|||
There’s a song I like to sing
When it’s coming down
Get behind the wheel and go for a ride
And I let it out
‘Don’t let me go too far over the line’
I need a friend, lover, Brother, and a mother
To tell me I can let it all go
The weight of all the worry I can’t do it on my own
Giving up,
That’s my favorite kind of feeling
Who am I to feel like I am suffering
When there’s so much love to be shown
I wanna give into to devotion
Let somebody know that they’re never alone
Making up,
That’s my favorite kind of feeling
I wish the words weren’t so hard to say
But I’m working on it still
Nothing could convey the way
I’m scared that I wasted all of the years
Waking up,
That’s my favorite kind of feeling
