Relearn 04:24
Back to the scent of Waking to kiss of your love Sounds of a singing you Behind the newscast Who knew all this would pass? I knew your face once When I touched it more than my own That was a brighter day And from time to time I relearn how to say goodbye I just want to make sure that you’re okay Make up any reason to see your face You want me to run away But I would rather die I’d die I’d die When you knew my name And our embrace Was not only in picture frames I felt alive inside Like how you must feel tonight If I saw you Would I just fake it? “Tell me what’s new!” Oh, I just can’t take it If I sensed that you Were still stealing blanket In a bed for two When I still make space For you

I went to your mother’s wake To see her peaceful face And as she smiles down Her husband cries And dripping from my eyes Was a fluid realization A fire scorches the wick of connections Webs of truce burn in every direction So, so alone I wanna come home to someone who cares When abbrevity is life and reality death Oh, man! I wish I had Someone to talk to Oh, man! I wish I had What I had with you I could smile like I don’t care I could dial up anywhere Stay there for the night And start a new life But just one word from you Just a summon I’ll be charging through The mounds of guilt And trouble we’ve built Yeah, honestly it may be an overdone confession How can you relate? You’re only soul’s stuck to your shoes You used to walk away But I fight to chase the lesson Lock your heart and save Until the one option is you I’ll wait like I need to And say things like we’re meant to be

Meant to Be 03:57
Remember when we stayed Engaged and we talked all night? Laughed till the morning’s light? Found rest in each other’s eyes? Whatever the page You and I were on the right track So lost, but we had our backs So how do we end up like that? (That think of all we had, give us a chance And after all we had, just one more dance) You know I’d listen, but you don’t want to talk The night is cool, but you don’t need the walk Meant to be Oh, we were Meant to be Talk to me again Like there was no hiding place Before you felt like you had to erase Every trace of where you’ve been Don’t let it be the end Oh, just give it a try Don’t let this be goodbye Every other man is so sly (Sly you don’t know they lie, give us a try Tell me the reason why just one more time) Fate has a sign that appears in reverse Apologize before it gets much worse Meant to be Oh, we were Meant to be Don’t be so eager to tear it down Running to find a relief Don’t write this off We can work it out Don’t follow your doubts Believe Don’t leave me Don’t you see? Don’t leave me Don’t leave me, Darling

Away 03:42
I count the lines cut on the wall of blame And I see it’s been years since I’ve seen light Tell me all the reasons for when you called My name Just to say, “Wish you well” As you took flight to start again I just wanna wake and not pretend Amen. Amen. Away To the days of a darker mind To the weeks of a harder climb And all the years that you had let me waste All my heart away I had a dream with a version of you That would die just to keep all this alive I woke up to know none of this could be true Because you hop-scotched right through My chalk outline and on you went I don’t even know where to begin Again. Again. Away To the days of a darker mind To the weeks of a harder climb And all the years that you had let it Take all my words away If you were something I could refuse And if bullets could only give a bruise Or if I could say there’s nothing to lose But I can't Because I lost you I can see you laughing from a moment that passed But I’m too far away to make out why You’re dancing to the music about those who don’t last As you whisper in ears that should be mine.

There’s a hope Starts to grow Helps me know Everything will be all right There’s so much That I can take But I can’t shake the feeling Things will be all right Nothing else in my hands But letting go Of a “no” unchanging And that’s all right She’s the ground that I walked While wearing no Sandals on my feet But that changes tonight Make-believe has a wake up call And I hear it blaring out I just know Doors have closed All to make me see the only way There’s no kick or scream that can Shake me from Crawling through this higher plan Nothing else in my hands But letting go Of the “no” unchanging And that’s all right She’s the ground that I walked While wearing no Sandals on my feet But that changes tonight Make-believe has a wake up call And I hear it blaring out Start it again with a bang Leave my past as a whisper Sever again for the change You would grab on with blisters
