You know I'm gonna walk away this time
You know that I will be gone when you cry
Maybe there'll be shadows outside
But I'll be on the highway by this time
Been making time for late nights, some nights
A stare that will provoke the sunrise
And even when you say you were mine
I'll be on the highway by this time
And even when you look up at the stars
And even when you think you've gone too far
From everything you knew in this life
Well I'll be on the highway by this time
I'll be on the highway
cus' life is a highway

Verse 1:
Roll off the shoulder
Won't you sleep a little closer
Here's to "who knew?"
Here's to "I couldn't live my life without knowing you"
Here's to "Could I ever love again?"
I'll hold my breath for you when I can
Chorus:
It's gonna be hard for a while (x3) But you get on
Verse 2:
The heart beats stronger
You cry a little longer
Here's to "I knew what you knew"
I couldn't live my life without knowing you
Here's to "If I ever love again"
I'll hold my breath for you when I can
Chorus:
It's gonna be hard for a while (x3) But you get on
Chorus
It's gonna be hard for a while
It's gonna be hard...
It's gonna be hard for a while
Then it's gonna be good for a while
Yea it's gonna be good for a while
Cus' you got on

I Got Old

Verse 1:
Say I'm the one you think you want
Well I think different
When push comes to shove you toss aside
Dear love, the truth can't hide
Chorus
Count me in on your foolish ways
Throw them out to see
Time can have all the clever lines
Leave me out to dry
Set me free
Cus' I guess I got old
Verse 2
I guess I got old like the promise from you
Old like the days that we fused
Cold matches confused
O, no fire forgets the doom
Or the way that you moved
You moved, you moved
You move
Chorus
Count me in on your foolish ways
Throw them out to see
Time can have all the clever lines
Leave me out to dry
Set me free
Cus I guess I got old

The Best Love (Unspoken)
03:27
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Well I couldn't really say how he got this far
A man of few words says the most at heart
You give him some time til' it's time to part
The TV's on waiting for the game to start
Verse 2:
I've been fishing for way to let myself in
But there's silence in truth
And there's truth in him
Two eyes to listen
Two hands to grin
Well he says the most when he says nothing
Chorus
Cus' sometimes you need love
That doesn't have to be said
Sometimes the best love
Is unspoken
Verse 3:
I couldn't really say how I got this far
Yea a man of few words, well he stole my heart
And I didn't even know how he began
But I'm here in the quiet
And I'm quite taken
Chorus
Cus' sometimes you need love
That doesn't have to be said
Sometimes the best love
Is unspoken
Solo
Chorus
Cus' sometimes you need love
That doesn't have to be said
Sometimes the best love
OooOOooo
Sometimes the best love
Is Unspoken

Chorus 1:
I'd rather talk about the weather
Than philosophy
Verse 1:
There is no debate
whether the sun would rise
Even if you're trying to predict
Your future is still unknown
With a simple guise of rainbows and rain gutters
Chorus 2:
But I'd rather talk about the weather
Than sensitivity
Verse 2:
I'd know if I was cold
Wouldn't have to guess your load
Pretend that I grasp the conversation that I'm facing with myself
I'm feeling with you
Chorus 3:
I'd rather talk about the weather
Than infinity
Verse 3:
It's possible I'm wrong
When I wanna say I knew all along
That love would take it easy on me this time
Love would take it easy on me this time
solo
Put it all together, baby

Happy Tears
03:19

|
Verse 1:
One day you might find
Your pretty hand in mine
That's pretty good
But could it be fine?
You say all them other ones
Never took the time
Faces all lit up
Pulling too many lines
Chorus 1:
And these little things
They make you cry
People could care but they don't ask why
Maybe they're just happy tears
Maybe you can't face your fears
Verse 2:
When "close to home" feels far away
I'll leave the porch light on
So you might find your way
Your face all lit up like you could see someone stay
But I never left
I was always on my way
Chorus 2:
And these little things
They make you cry
But I couldn't laugh more in all my time
I know that they're just happy tears
Maybe you could face your fears
Vocalization
Chorus 3:
And these little things
They make you cry
But I couldn't laugh more in all my time
I know that they're just happy tears
Maybe you just faced your fears
Wait for love after all these years
Hey, I'd do that just to be near
You
Trumpet vocals!
