Heavy On My Mind 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Woke up next to my angel, she was dressed in white When I dream, I dream of my angel flying into my life When I feel this breeze against us, window’s open wide And I know the distance between us will only last a while There’s something bout the way she looks when she first opens her eyes There’s something bout the way I felt when I first saw her smile Woke up next to my angel, but only in my mind Now I dream, I dream of my angel flying back in my life When I feel this breeze against me it takes me back in time Nothing’s right since she’s been gone I’d give anything to start all over As I look into her eyes She’s weighing heavy on my mind There’s something bout the way she makes me feel like I’m alive There’s something bout the way that I can’t seem to say goodbye She’s weighing heavy on my mind

Broadway 03:11
lyrics
buy track
Forget all about your 9 to 5 Let’s get lost for a while Been living our lives in overdrive When the sun sets down in the New York sky The stage will be all ours tonight Breathing out for the first time in a long time Been dreaming of your love Wait it out, the curtain’s closing now Baby we’re alone on Broadway tonight Let’s spend the night chasing the stars along the boulevard Forget what they say about who we are As the sun comes up and lights the scenes This city is a stage and we’re living out our dreams They say this town can drive you wild It’s just you and me on Broadway tonight

Cigarettes & Beam 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Baby can you take my arm tonight Cause I am lonely And I can’t hold on this tight Can you hold me like you did when we were together baby? We can talk it out again If you wanna be there for me like you used to say you would I won’t keep you out and I won’t hold you in We can dance with words and coffee baby Cigarettes and Beam And I can say with a tear all the things I don’t mean That I don’t mean All the days play faded warriors in a play I used to know But I am lost now Can you hold me like you did when we were together baby? We can talk this out again And we can listen to the morning tell us To go back where we came from And mirror all the things that we’ve done wrong But we won’t care, no we won’t care

Carry You 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Through the window watch her walk away In the distance see her shadow fade Slams the car door and she turns the key Driving further away from me If you fall along the way If you make it back someday If you fall along the way I’ll be there to carry you I’ll be the one to carry you Stare at the ceiling, all these sleepless nights Tossing, turning, is love worth the fight A new beginning you say that’s what you need Is this the ending of a perfect dream Time stands still without you My heart don’t beat without you I can’t live without the one I love You’re the one I love

Beautiful Breakdown 04:29
lyrics
buy track
Chasing dreams, I’ve always been chasing dreams I think I forgot to breathe along the way Suddenly it flashes right before me All that I hope to be, all that I am Answer me, I don’t wanna go down with all these questions All my doubts, my intentions were for the best I swear, they were for the best I swear Here I go again Lying to myself Lost in someone else Another beautiful breakdown Hold me close, say you won’t let me go I need someone to catch me as I fall Set me free, it’s time that I try to see the world that’s in front of me Through my own eyes Question me, I don’t wanna go down with all these answers All my doubts, my intentions were for the best I swear, they were for the best I swear All my dreams point to in between who I am and who I want to be Somewhere down the line I’ll see the world through my own eyes Leave it all behind, it’s all or nothing now It’s all or nothing

Face First 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Do you remember the football games and dreams of fame And hey, do you remember the time we swore that things would never change Those were the glory days, Memphis summers, all the hell we raised Do you remember how I want to relive those yesterdays Face First, you’re falling, I hear you calling I run, but you’re gone So I leave you this song now Can you tell me where this went wrong You’ve heard this song before And can you tell me what you are doing strung out on the floor This is insanity, the bottle’s empty Still you beg for more Can you show me the line that leads to how it was before Face First, you’re crying I know that you’re trying Face first, face first I hope that I’m not too late Am I too late

Pull Back The Curtains 02:41
lyrics
buy track
Pull back the curtains Open my eyes Reach out your arm Cause now I’m alive Keep me from sleeping I don’t want to miss Any waking moment I see the world through your eyes I don’t want to cast another shadow I don’t want to be the one behind I just want to be the one to love you Baby look into my eyes We won’t waste another moment We can leave this world behind You’re all I ever wanted And love is so hard to find Hold back your regrets Open your heart Just let love lead you back to the start All that I’ve wanted A taste of your love All that I needed You are the light from above Tell me baby is it love Every time I look above Tell me baby what you see When you look inside of me Is it love

After You Go 03:43
lyrics
buy track
What you want reach out and look for What you’ll find is what you need Believe in the lion inside you and go set your mind free And your name will be passed on by the waves in the sea Cause the green from your bills ultimately wears As you lay in the balance what did you share If you listen to your heart you will find your soul And you will be remembered long after you go What feels good isn’t always what’s right What you call love comes with a price You gotta take a little bad with the good once in a while

Down The Bottle 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Just another, you know it’s all I need Escape the sober self inside of me My heart is racing I can’t ease the pain The season’s changing But I remain the same Down the bottle, drown your fears Wash away all your tears Tomorrow you’ll come back around With one hand high and one foot off the ground Just a second, help me catch my breath Hold me closer Save me from myself I’m falling deeper It’s pulling me back in It’s had me over Time and time again When everything shatters it feels like all the walls around Are falling down on me

Heaven Sent 03:55
lyrics
buy track
Before you walked on in love seemed like such a game More times lost than it was won, just a dream it all remained As I flip back through the pages, get a glimpse back at my life So much space left unfilled, searching for the right words to say When I wake up beside you I know our love is real You’re everything and more I thought I’d never feel It’s the way that you smile, the way I fall into your eyes It’s the way you feel so close to me, I won’t ever say goodbye Every single thing you do Baby I’m in love with you Every breath from your lips I know is heaven sent I try to find the words to say How you make me feel this way Every breath from your lips I know is heaven sent You’re my dreams when I close my eyes at night You’re my everything You’re the sun that crashes down through my window That wakes me up to see I have heaven right beside me You’re just what I’ve been searching for You’re just what I’ve been waiting for You’re everything I want and so much more You’re so much more

No Easy Way 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Memories running circles in my head After all this time who would’ve known it’d be the last I hear them echoing out your name Just doesn’t seem the same Last look into your eyes The eternal goodbye And when I burn one down, I’ll burn it all the way down for you Though your candle was put out by the wind Your name will always be remembered Pain you felt was felt by everyone who surrounded you Praying for another day, no one knew just what to say Cause there’s no easy way to say goodbye You remained full of life though your time passed by No easy way to say goodbye My words froze as I looked into your eyes I couldn’t even say goodbye The last time that I looked into your eyes I couldn’t even say goodbye

Over And Out 05:11
lyrics
buy track
Dreaming in your eyes, falling back in time Say that you’ll be mine Lord knows I hate goodbyes Moonlit summer skies cloud my mind Well I see how you can say it’s over You’re not quite here But you’re one step closer to me Close your eyes Walk away and you’ll say You’re over and out again Begging for a dime To buy back our lost time Miles I would fly for one last kiss goobye Pictures of you and I ease my mind Memories play back so clearly here inside my mind Now I’m begging for a chance to hold you one last time Over and out You found another way out And now you’re keeping me out of this again Over and out You know I can’t deal without So please don’t keep me out of this
