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

North & South
04:07
|
|||
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

Send Somebody
03:55
|
|||
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

River In The Rain
03:31
|
|||
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
