Wide Awake 04:00
You’re behind You’re before You’re a wide open door I will stay I will wait Wide awake wide awake Sever all other ties Swim inside open eyes Give away all we take Wide awake wide awake Underneath silver skies Sweet release No disguise Here we build Here we break Wide awake Wide awake

Hiatus 05:25
Buried burdens I’m letting go Do we carry them And do we know The power they hold I’m letting go You always lend me A steady hand A sanctuary For me to land With these thoughts that I am I’m letting go You ground me Surround me Cure chaos My hiatus You ground me Surround me Cure chaos My hiatus

We always find a way When I get lost in the day-to-day Sometimes I’m close Sometimes I’m far But where I am is where you are North and south will reconcile East and west will come around the corner This is significant I feel no shame in being back again Cause north and south will reconcile East and west will come around the corner Like distant brothers on a phone call They pick right up where they left off We pick right up where we left off Pick right up where you left off

It feels like the other day We were all children Still it seems safe to say Everyone’s learning Who they are It seems like the other day We were still strangers Yet in another way It feels like I’ve always known Who you are Everyday I learn Who you are Your love has changed my world Your love has changed my world I know love can change the world Cause your love has changed my world I feel it’s safe to say Time will keep turning And when we’re old and gray We’ll still be learning Who we are Everyday I learn Who you are

Under the world Burning marrow We build on her bones And live on her loans All we could know Is mostly unknown Under the sea Send somebody Discover the deep Wake where you sleep Infinity Is in you and me

You could walk the block Just to come and have me Pour some coffee on the porch I can see your face In that time and place It’s gone now, but it’s right in front of us We’re further, and it’s apart of us We were we aware That the time we shared Was one of our golden years It may seem forlorn But for time we’re meant to mourn It’s gone now, but it’s right in front of us We’re further, and it’s apart of us If memory’s meant to evaporate Then is our River in the rain

Written Down 03:51
I wonder if our lives were written down If every day we lives were read aloud What choices we would make What risks we would or wouldn’t take If our lives were written down I wonder if we’d loose our boundaries Would money lose it’s grip of slavery Somehow the poorest days I’ve known I was living blissfully Oh so money you can’t have your hold on me I know that I could quit my job And just follow the voice of God He always knows where I need to go Like I did back in the days I lived in Cali-for-ni-a I was bitter broke But a happy man We don’t always see it coming Life is only but a flash We know you’ve got to live for something If you’re gonna make it last I’m not one to judge the layman Or condemn the nine to five We just have to pay attention To make sure we’re still alive I wonder if our lives were written down If every day we lives were read aloud What choices we would make What risks we would or wouldn’t take If our lives were written down What kind of person would you be Would you write a better story

Heading Home 03:44
We were heading home On a long drive After midnight I was drifting off And my squinted eyes Blurred the passing lights I was not alone I was safe again Though the snow began To fall We were half way home When the highway lines Swam inside my mind Again We were all just waiting Anticipating Signs of home Tree lines gave to street signs I finally recognize All their names
