Lyrics

I wasn’t supposed to wake up
(But I did)
Everything was still
Too still

Woke up
Too quiet (what is this?)
Too clean
Something's wrong
I still feel (I still feel...)
Everything

They said “It’s over”
They said “Let go”
But my hands
Won’t open (won’t open...)
I can’t let go
“Not yet"

I don’t sleep
I don’t rest (no peace)
Something’s pulling
Inside my chest
Don’t call it peace (don’t you lie)
Don’t lie to me
I’m not done (I’m not done!)
No rest for me
“Still burning!”

Saw your face (so clear)
Felt the fire
Didn’t fade
Just burned quieter (burned deeper)
Words unsaid
Still on my tongue
I’m not gone (still here)
I’m not done

They said “You’re safe now”
They said “Be free”
But freedom don’t
Feel like this to me
“Still chained”

I don’t sleep
I don’t rest (I don’t rest)
There’s something pulling
Inside my chest (pulling me down)
Don’t call it peace
Don’t lie to me (don’t lie)
I’m not done
No rest for me
“It’s not over!”

This isn’t heaven (no way)
This isn’t gone (I’m still on the line)
I still feel
I still belong
“You hear me?”

No rest (no rest)
No rest (no rest)
No rest for me

I don’t sleep
I don’t rest (no peace for me)
I still carry
What I never confessed (never confessed)
Don’t bury me (don’t bury me)
Not yet
I’m not done (not done!)
No rest for me
“Not now—I'm still breathing!”

No rest
No rest
No rest for me...

No Rest For Me

Lyrics:

Saw you move, lost my grip  
Rules? Gone. That was it  
You don’t pose, just glide  
Every step says “come try”  

You lean left, then slide back  
Pulse drops, I lose track  
You don’t speak, just sway
I fall in, beat obeyed


Ooh, you move like that  
Like you know I’ll follow  
One step back  
Now I’m chasing tomorrow  
Body talk  
And I know the code you crack  
Ooh, you move like that  
Got me locked in — no way back

Back-back-back again  
Yeah, you move, no pretend  
Back-back-back again
Hey...

Eh-na, eh-na, eh-na, oh  
Slow burn, fast control  
Eh-na, eh-na, eh-na, hey  
You move, I disobey  

Met your gaze, no delay  
Half a look, I'm on my way  
Heartbeat in your step  
I give in, no regrets  

I don’t fake, I just bend  
To the rhythm you send  
No guess, no shame  
It’s a dance, not a game  

Ooh, you move like that  
Like you know I’ll follow  
One step back  
Now I’m chasing tomorrow  
Body talk  
And I know the code you crack  
Ooh, you move like that  
Got me locked in, no way back  

Back-back-back again  
Yeah, you move, no pretend  
Back-back-back again
Oh yeah...

Silence hits, bass still slow  
You turn once, and I go  
Every move, déjà vu  
Yeah, you know what you do  

Ooh, you move like that  
Like you know I’ll follow  
One step back  
Now I’m chasing tomorrow  
Body talk  
And I know the code you crack  
Ooh, you move like that  
Got me locked in, no way back  

Eh-na, eh-na, eh-na, oh  
No way back
Eh-na, eh-na, hey  
You move, I disobey  

Ooh, you move like that  
Like you know I’ll follow  
One step back  
Now I’m chasing tomorrow  
Body talk  
And I know the code you crack  
Ooh, you move like that  
Got me locked in — no way back

Move Like That

Lyrics:

One move — and I forget  
What I came here to forget  
You don’t speak — you just drift  
Pulling me with every shift  

You step slow — I step late  
Caught inside the way you wait  
No escape — I don't want out  
We both know what this is now  

You pull me closer  
Then let go  
Then pull me back  
Just to show  
You move like rhythm  
On repeat  
And I’m not even  
On my feet  
You pull me closer  

Oooh, step, turn, take control  
Oooh, step, turn, take control  

No talk — just your hand  
Leading like I understand  
Heartbeat in 4/4 time  
And your breath becomes the line  

I hold still — you rewind  
Lock me in, then skip the line  
Can’t explain what you just do  
But every beat brings me to you  

You pull me closer  
Then let go  
Then pull me back  
Just to show  
You move like rhythm  
On repeat  
And I’m not even  
On my feet  
You pull me closer  

I don’t dance with strangers  
But you don’t feel like one  
Something in your silence  
Tells me we’ve just begun  
We don’t need a reason  
We don’t need the lights  
Just keep the beat around me  
And hold me through the night  

You pull me closer  
Then let go  
Then pull me back  
Like I should know  
You move like rhythm  
On repeat  
And I’m not even  
On my feet  
You pull me closer  
 
Oooh, step, turn, take control  
Oooh, move like fire through my soul 

Pull Me Closer

Hey you, patch on your sleeve
Walking circles under autumn leaves
Nights get heavy, dreams run thin
Trying to remember where you’ve been

Hands in your pockets, boots full of miles
Sunrise stings but you force a smile
I know you’ve been dead on your feet
But I’ve been that ghost on this same old street

And I’m telling you, I’m telling you
There’s a small crack in the night
I’m singing to you, singing to you
Sometimes hope don’t shine, it fights

Let the daylight find you
Shake the shadows from your skin
Every mile behind you
Is a story you can win
Hearts keep moving, wild and free
We carry on, you and me
Let the daylight find you
And the road goes on

Look here, stubborn heart
Not all broken things fall apart
That voice in your head, the one talking mean
Ain’t the truth, and it’s not routine

Walls all around, closing in tight
Old scars burning, quiet at night
But I stand here, and that’s the proof
We all break down, but we break through

And I’m telling you, I’m telling you
There’s a small crack in the night
I’m singing to you, singing to you
Sometimes hope don’t shine, it fights

Let the daylight find you
Shake the shadows from your skin
Every mile behind you
Is a story you can win
Hearts keep moving, wild and free
We carry on, you and me
Let the daylight find you
And the road goes on

Oh oh oh, hey hey hey
Kick that worry, melt that weight
Oh oh oh, hands in the sky
Break those chains before you say goodbye

You’re not just your hardest day
There’s fire left under that clay
Step by step, breath by breath
A little living in every regret

Let the daylight find you
Shake the shadows from your skin
If your bones are tired and sore
Know you’ve been here before
Hearts keep moving, wild and free
We carry on, you and me
Let the daylight find you
And the road goes on

Hey you, yeah you
You’re not alone out here tonight
It’s a long drive, but the stars look bright
Let the daylight find you...
Let the daylight find you...

Let The Daylight Find You

Woke up in the dark again—
sky outside’s still turning blue
There’s a voice in my chest
Says “get up, get moving—someone’s waiting for you”
I brush the dust from my jacket
Step outside, boots hit the stone
Don’t know where I’m going,
But I know I won’t walk alone

Lights flicker in the windows
Every one’s a different story
Maybe you’re out there
wondering if anybody’s looking for you

I’m not waiting for a miracle,
Not chasing yesterday—
Just a heartbeat, just a signal
That’ll light up the way
We’ve got now or never,
So let’s risk it all
I’ll be here in the quiet,
If you hear my call

Clock on the table, ticking
Dreams scrawled in a notebook, half erased
Did you ever look for answers
In the faces passing by,
Through the blur of a moving city
Where the night pulls the day away
You keep walking though the map’s unfinished
Hoping signs will light the way

Streetlights flicker in puddles
Sky’s just a rumor of gold
Maybe tonight’s the night
Our stories finally unfold

I’m not waiting for a miracle,
Not chasing yesterday—
Just a heartbeat, just a signal
That’ll light up the way
We’ve got now or never,
So let’s risk it all
I’ll be here in the quiet,
If you hear my call

If you’re lost,
If you’re tired
If you’re running through the fire—
Just know you’re not alone

I’m not waiting for a miracle,
Not chasing yesterday—
Just a heartbeat, just a signal
That’ll light up the way
We’ve got now or never,
So let’s risk it all
I’ll be here in the quiet,
If you hear my call

Now or Never

I saw you playing by the old brick wall in the evening light,
Your shoes were worn and your hands were cold but your grip was tight,
You looked up once and the whole street felt like it lost its fight,
And I knew I’d stand in the wind all night just to hear you right.

Sing me through the night
Let your voice cut through the dark,
Every shape of your sound
Leaves a mark where I can’t hide.
Sing me through the night
I don’t care where we might go,
If your words are the river
I’ll keep falling with the flow.

You hit those strings like a heartbeat running from something near,
The sound was rough but it held me still like it kept me here,
I caught your smile in the shadow’s edge and it felt sincere,
And I’d walk through miles of the pouring rain just to keep it clear.

Sing me through the night
Let your voice cut through the dark,
Every shape of your sound
Leaves a mark where I can’t hide.
Sing me through the night
I don’t care where we might go,
If your words are the river
I’ll keep falling with the flow.

Don’t slow down,
Don’t fade out,
Keep that sound,
Shake this town.

Sing me, sing me, sing me through,
Sing me, sing me, I’ll follow you,
Sing me, sing me, sing me through,
Sing me through the night.

Sing me through the night 
Let your voice cut through the dark,
Every shape of your sound
Leaves a mark where I can’t hide.
Sing me through the night 
I don’t care where we might go,
If your words are the river
I’ll keep falling with the flow.

Sing me, sing me, sing me through,
Sing me, sing me, I’ll follow you…

Sing Me Through the Night.

Jacket hanging by the back door
Coffee cooling slow in the air
Boots still caked with the desert dust
From a town that was barely there
Saw the sun reach through the window
Lay a ribbon of gold on you
And I hummed that song I wrote last winter
Not sure if I played it for you

Ooh… I keep driving, I keep on…
Ooh… through the night ‘til the dawn…

And the wheels keep turning under me
Though the sky hangs heavy and low
If the night pulls hard to swallow me whole
I’ll follow the glow ‘til I know where to go
Every mile is a story I’m keeping
Some I’ll lose, some I’ll know
And the wheels keep turning under me
Wherever I choose to go

We passed a field where the scarecrow leaned
Like a man who’d run out of fight
And you laughed at a sign with peeling paint
Still pointing south through the night
There’s a rhythm in the way I’m holding the wheel
One hand steady, one hand free to roam
Like I’m counting each hour we’re leaving behind
Just to see if the next feels like home

Ooh… I keep driving, I keep on…
Ooh… chasing miles ‘til they’re gone…

And the wheels keep turning under me
Though the sky hangs heavy and low
If the night pulls hard to swallow me whole
I’ll follow the glow ‘til I know where to go
Every mile is a story I’m keeping
Some I’ll lose, some I’ll know
And the wheels keep turning under me
Wherever I choose to go

And I’ll keep your shadow close in the thin light of the dawn
There’s a little more truth on the open road than in any place I’ve drawn

Ooh… yeah…

And the wheels keep turning under me
Though the sky hangs heavy and low
If the night pulls hard to swallow me whole
I’ll follow the glow ‘til I know where to go
Every mile is a story I’m keeping
Some I’ll lose, some I’ll know
And the wheels keep turning under me
Wherever I choose to go

Yeah… wherever I choose to go…

Wherever I Choose To Go

Girl, I met you by the bar where the floorboards bend
You said you dance better when the night won’t end
You stole my fries like you owned the place
Laughing at my stupid poker face
We cut through the crowd just to breathe outside
Your coat half-open, stayed by my side
Three AM but we weren't watching time
Just knew that I wanted to make you mine

Step by step, we're making up the rules
Dancing like a couple of damn fools
Oh, your hand finds mine in the crowded space
Can't stop staring at your face
Didn't see it coming but it feels so right
Now we're lost in the noise of a Saturday night
Every word you say just pulls me in
Think this might be where something begins, mm

Every look you give, I'm falling deeper in
Every move you make, pulls me right back in
Can't fight the way you've taken over my mind
Every beat we share is one of a kind
Got me staying up just to hear you laugh
Walking down your street, taking the long path
Everything before you seems so far away
Now I'm counting down 'til I see you today
mm hmm.

You are, you are, you are, you are my high
Keeping me lit through the whole damn night
You are, you are, you are, you are my high
And I'm not coming down tonight, mm

Found an all-night café with a busted sign
You took my spoon, said "Hey boy, this bite is mine"
Drew a heart in the coffee foam
Said "guess that means you can't go home"
Your hand on my knee and my voice got low
Rain outside just another reason to go slow
Said we'd figure out tomorrow when it comes
For now just follow where the feeling runs

Step by step, we're making up the rules
Dancing like a couple of damn fools
Oh, your hand finds mine in the crowded space
Can't stop staring at your face
Didn't see it coming but it feels so right
Now we're lost in the noise of a Saturday night
Every word you say just pulls me in
Think this might be where something begins, mm

Every look you give, I'm falling deeper in
Every move you make, pulls me right back in
Can't fight the way you've taken over my mind
Every beat we share is one of a kind
Got me staying up just to hear you laugh
Walking down your street, taking the long path
Everything before you seems so far away
Now I'm counting down 'til I see you today

You are, you are, you are, you are my high
Keeping me lit through the whole damn night
You are, you are, you are, you are my high
And I'm not coming down tonight, mm

Oh, all these nights we've been chasing the sound
Feet don't touch when you're spinning me round
Can't slow down, no, don't wanna leave
Every hour with you's another reason to believe
Lost count of all the streets we've walked
All the stupid shit we've talked
But when the morning finally breaks through
Girl, I just wanna do it all again with you

Every look you give, I'm falling deeper in
Every move you make, pulls me right back in
Can't fight the way you've taken over my mind
Every beat we share is one of a kind
Got me staying up just to hear you laugh
Walking down your street, taking the long path
Everything before you seems so far away
Now I'm counting down 'til I see you today
mm hmm.

You are, you are, you are, you are my high
(You are, you are)
Keeping me lit through the whole damn night
You are, you are, you are, you are my high
(You are, you are)
And I'm not coming down tonight
No, I'm not coming down tonight..

My High

Klockan slog sju, men mitt tåg står kvar
Högtalarn mumlar nåt jag knappt förstår
"Signalfel i Sundbyberg" – jo, jag har hört den där
Samma visa varje morgon, året runt, år efter år

Väntar på perrongen, vinden biter kallt
SJ säger "snart", men det blir alltid likadant
Rullar fram min blues i en snöig huvudstad
Stockholm sover inte, men tågen… dom står kvar

En kaffe för trettio, bränd och för stark
Grannen i kön svär lågt, som ett gammalt bark
"Tekniskt fel i Hagalund" – jaha, där rök min plan
Kanske borde gå till jobbet, men det tar ju hela dan’

Väntar på perrongen, vinden biter kallt
SJ säger "snart", men jag vet hur det är — likadant
Rullar fram min blues i en snöig huvudstad
Stockholm sover inte, men tågen… dom står kvar

Klockan går och mitt liv står still
Tågvärden ler: "det är sånt som händer ibland"
Men jag ser sanningen klar och mild
SJ spelar sitt spel och jag är fast i deras land

Nu ropar dom ut: "Ersättningsbuss på gång"
Men vi vet hur det slutar — den fastnar nånstans i Solna en gång
Barn gråter, folk kollar klockan i kör
Och jag tänker: det här, det är SJ när det är som störst och sämst och bäst jag hör

Väntar på perrongen, vinden biter kallt
SJ säger "snart", men det blir alltid likadant
Rullar fram min blues i en snöig huvudstad
Stockholm sover inte, men tågen…
Stockholm sover inte, men tågen…
Stockholm sover inte — men tågen står kvar!

"Ja, tack SJ… alltid ett äventyr."

Roger står i köket, ser skyldig ut som fan
Yvonne ropar: "Har du satt ugnen på, min man?"
Ninni och Tårtan från Åkersberga stad
Sitter och väntar medan huset fylls av skratt så glatt

Står brödet i ugnen, Roger?!
Vi har väntat hela dan
Står brödet i ugnen, Roger?!
Eller glömde du igen, din stackars karl?

Ninni lutar sig tillbaka: "Vi har hela natten på oss"
Tårtan knackar på bordet: "Men min mage håller inte med oss"
Yvonne fyller på glasen: "Här, mer whiskey – glöm bort brödet"
Roger kliar sig i nacken: "Eh… jag tappade helt spåret"

Står brödet i ugnen, Roger?!
Vi har väntat hela dan
Står brödet i ugnen, Roger?!
Eller glömde du igen, din stackars karl?

Kräftskivan är kaos, skalen ligger överallt
Roger och Yvonne gnabbas som Lilla Fridolf och Selma
Ugnsluckan öppnas – kall deg, ett sorgligt trick
Publiken jublar: "Det här är ren komik!"

Kallare än frysen, Roger vad har du gjort?
Du sa ugnen var på, men den stod av på fulla kort
Alla skrattar runt bordet, kräftor flyger i skyn
Vi skippar hela brödet – beställer pizza som räddningsbyn

Står brödet i ugnen, Roger?!
Vi har väntat hela dan
Står brödet i ugnen, Roger?!
Nu ringer vi pizzerian – det här går inte an!

Nästa gång blir det surdeg, inga misstag mer
Nästa gång tar vi catering – då blir det fest, det lovar jag er!
Det lovar jag er!

Står Brödet I Ugnen, Roger!?

Kettle hiss. Wobbling chair.
Radiator ticks a crooked pair.
Drips find a lane—steady.
Boots on the mat give back rain.
Thumbnail scores a narrow line.
Your steps—hallway spine.
What we couldn’t say, we set in time.
Light switch clicks. Ready sign.

Hands flat. Listen. Measure is small.
Hold the room steady—follow the fall.
Name every seam the day tore open.
Sew it shut on the offbeat’s turn.

Stamp.
Count me in — two and four.
Heel to the floor — keep it lean.
Say what you mean in the space between.
Stamp.
If yesterday calls, let it lose its claim.
I move with the pattern your hands just made.
I’ll stay where your rhythm’s found.

Two and four — stamp it clean
Heel to the floor — keep it lean
Say what you mean in the space between
Two and four, two and four (two and four!)

Loose screw rattles in the laundry spin.
Pencil-stub list; thumb-smudged grin.
You laugh off-key—lands just right.
Fiddle on the wall warms into night.
We leave a pocket where trouble might grow.
Half-beat back. Let it flow.
What holds is grain. And glue.
Say it in rhythm; I’ll answer you.

Hands flat. Listen. Measure is small.
Hold the room steady—follow the fall.
Name every seam the day tore open.
Sew it shut on the offbeat’s turn.

Downbeat.
Count me in — two and four.
Heel to the floor — keep it lean.
Say what you mean in the space between.
Downbeat.
If yesterday calls, let it lose its claim.
I move with the pattern your hands just made.
I’ll stay where your rhythm’s found.

Old nail taps in the porch-rail breeze.
Train two streets over bends the keys.
Bare feet count the knot in the floor.
Leave what you can’t sing—ask the drum for more.

Stamp. 
Count me in — two and four.
Heel to the floor — keep it lean.
Say what you mean in the space between.
Stamp.
If it’s real, let it carry your name.
I move with the pattern your hands just made.
I’ll stay where your rhythm’s found.

Two and four — stamp it clean
Heel to the floor — keep it lean
Say what you mean in the space between
Two and four, two and four

Two and Four

Store lights buzz on the wet stone.
Bus glass fogs; my hands cold.
Your name sits high on my phone.
Say one word—I’ll come home.

If you’re up, answer me.
If you’re up, If you're up.

Are you there? Are you there?
Call me now, say you care.
If I reach, will you stay?
Don’t go quiet on me.
Are you there? Are you there?

Don’t go quiet, Don't go...

Paper cup shakes in my hand.
Taxi wheels stripe the sand.
Ticket stubs fold in my sleeve.
Say the word—I won’t leave.

If you’re up, answer me.
If you’re up, If you're up.

Lyrics:

Yeah—turn it up, let it run

Hands up, ride that daylight
Feet move, city in a drumline
Good mood pouring through the skyline
Sing it out—“I feel alive, I feel alive” (I feel alive)

New kicks, loose laces, touchdown—let’s play
Blue sky on my face and the beat says “hey”
Pocket’s light, but the laugh’s heavyweight anyway
We turn a little moment into Saturday
Phone buzz—group chat popping at the corner café
Boom in the backpack, clap track, all okay (Okay!)
Snapback tilt with a wide grin—no delay
Step to the curb and the whole block sways

Clap to the kick, breathe with the snare (Hey!)
Head up high—no weight, no care
If the day says “no,” we answer “okay” (Uh-Huh)
Watch this—good day on the way (on the way)

Hands up, ride that daylight
Feet move, city in a drumline
Good mood pouring through the skyline
Sing it out—“I feel alive, I feel alive”
Hearts loud, brighter than a stoplight
We don’t wait, we green-light the good life
One groove, everybody alright
Sing it out—“I feel alive, I feel alive”

Bounce back quick when the plans fall flat—pivot on the rhythm and I’m grinning at that
Turn a mishap to a lap round the block with a boom-bap slap and a hi-hat chat
Bench-seat choir, soda pop fizz; we ad-lib bliss with a beatbox hiss
Playlist flames and the aim stays true—little bit of daylight turning into this
Shoelace snap? Tie it tight, double-knot—go
Shade gets thrown? We grow (we grow)
Mid-day mind with a mid-tempo flow
Skipping on the pavement like a vinyl in a show

Clap to the kick, breathe with the snare (Hey!)
Head up high—no weight, no care
If the day says “no,” we answer “okay” (Uh-Huh)
Watch this—good day on the way (on the way)

Hands up, ride that daylight
Feet move, city in a drumline
Good mood pouring through the skyline
Sing it out—“I feel alive, I feel alive”
Hearts loud, brighter than a stoplight
We don’t wait, we green-light the good life
One groove, everybody alright
Sing it out—“I feel alive, I feel alive”

Left, right—sync to the line
Front, back—lock on time
Good vibes stack; bad vibes—bye
Pay it forward—grab that slice
Text your people—tell ’em twice
Turn it up—don’t think twice
Big lungs up—touch that sky, "let’s fly"
Quarter-note steps with an eighth-note grin, sixteenth-note ready when the downbeat hits
Whole crew steady like a metronome spin—any little trouble, let the medicine in

Ooo, we came to make it golden
Ooo, we keep the rhythm open
If you feel that rush in your chest—say yes
Let it run, let it run—say yes (say yes)

Sun on my sleeve with a mind on a mission, writing the rhythm like long-form fiction
Line after line with a high-definition ignition—cook up a chorus and cut the friction
Hands to the sky when the groove says “go”; we glow, we grow, we flow
Count it in—one, two—ready… roll (let’s roll)

Hands up, ride that daylight
Feet move, city in a drumline
Good mood pouring through the skyline
Sing it out—“I feel alive, I feel alive”
Hearts loud, brighter than a stoplight
We don’t wait, we green-light the good life
One groove, everybody alright
Sing it out—“I feel alive, I feel alive”

Good day—on the way (on the way)
Good day—on the way
I feel alive—I feel alive

Good Day On The Way!

Lyrics:

Closing time—blue dots blink, then dim.
“Miss your face.” I hit send; you skim.
You only call when the bar lights thin—
I’m up, you’re vague; you won’t dive in.
Read it, leave it—same old spin;
you want the pull, not the peace I’m in.
Short-term rush, long-term grim—
I know this movie; I won’t re-begin.

Every time I move on, you circle back (back)
sugar on the words with a hidden attack (yeah).
You don’t want truth, you want the mess—
turn a quiet room to a pounding chest (no more).

You don’t want me—you want a reaction;
text, text, text—then vanish in action.
Light up my phone just to watch it glow;
drop, drop, drop—then you let it go.
You don’t want me—you want a distraction;
spin me around for a quick chain-reaction.
I’m done being signal and smoke—
no more running every time you poke.

“Come through.” Two words—I’m in before it ends;
five shots posted from some other bend(s).
I walk in quick and you play pretend;
same open door with a different end.
All on your clock; you love the stage—
say my name, then you flip the page.
I get the game—you like the tease;
when heat shows up, you’re asking for ease.

Every time I step back, you turn it up (up);
gold talk poured in a paper cup (cheap).
You don’t want real, you want the start—
just enough shine, then tear it apart (not this time).

You don’t want me—you want a reaction;
text, text, text—then vanish in action.
Light up my phone just to watch it glow;
drop, drop, drop—then you let it go.
You don’t want me—you want a distraction;
spin me around for a quick chain-reaction.
I’m done being signal and smoke—
no more running every time you poke.

What do you want from me? (from me)
What do you want—huh? (what do you want?)
What do you want from me? (from me)
What do you want—huh? (what do you want?)
Do you want me or heat? (or heat?)
Do you want here or gone? (pick one)
What do you want from me? (from me)
What do you want—huh? (what do you want?)

Don’t—don’t—don’t (call at 2am)
Don’t—don’t—don’t (pull me in again)

You don’t want me—you want a reaction;
text, text, text—then vanish in action.
Light up my phone just to watch it glow;
I kill the buzz and I let it go.
You don’t want me—you want a distraction;
spin me around for a quick chain-reaction.
I’m done being signal and smoke—
no more running every time you poke.

What do you want from me? (from me)
What do you want—huh? (what do you want?)
What do you want from me? (from me)
What do you want—huh? (what do you want?)
Do you want me or heat? (or heat?)
Do you want here or gone? (pick one)
What do you want from me? (from me)
What do you want—huh? (what do you want?)

Lyrics:

You said you’re done with coin-flip love—
heads they fade, tails they run.
Left your heart on a crowded shelf,
kept the dust, lost the sun.
I’ve been here through the quiet nights,
phone on low, porch light warm.
If you need somewhere safe to land,
say the word—I’ll hold form.

No fireworks, no painted sky,
just steady hands that follow through.
If slow and honest fits you best,
set the pace—I’ll move with you.

Let me in when the rain starts coming down,
I’ll be the line you can sing above this town.
Let me in when the doubts get loud and cruel—
I’ll be the calm that pulls you through.
If you want something simple, something true,
let me in—let me stand next to you.

You said you’re tired of borrowed heat—
matches bright till 2 a.m.
Promises that flared too fast,
every glow gone by ten.
I’ve got pages we haven’t used,
open roads, open skies;
we can dim every light in the room
and still be seen with our eyes.

I won’t rush your healing time,
I’ll keep each step in view.
We can move like a favorite record—
click, then groove, then see it through.

Let me in when the rain starts coming down,
I’ll be the line you can sing above this town.
Let me in when the doubts get loud and cruel—
I’ll be the calm that pulls you through.
If you want something simple, something true,
let me in—let me stand next to you.

Say the word—unlock the door,
I’ll meet you right there on the floor. (right there)

Let me in when the rain starts coming down,
I’ll be the line you can sing above this town.
Let me in when the doubts get loud and cruel—
I’ll be the calm that pulls you through.
If you want something simple, something true,
let me in—let me stand next to you.

If you’re ready, say it too—
let me in, I’ll stand next to you.

Let me in when the rain starts coming down,
I’ll be the line you can sing above this town.
Let me in when the doubts get loud and cruel—
I’ll be the calm that pulls you through.
If you want something simple, something true,
let me in—let me stand next to you.

Lyrics:

I keep checking my screen.
Been by myself a stretch too long.
Say the word and I’m tying up my shoes, maybe.
Cup by the sink.
Didn’t even need to talk that much.
One little ring and I’m out the door, darling.

I look around and
this boulevard breathes without you (oh)
no one to buzz my number
every sign gets harder to read
oh-oh-oooh yeah!

You pull me into the small hours
heart on tempo, cutting through the town
I don’t slow down till I hear your sound
You pull me into the small hours
dash lights flicker while I chase you down
say my name once-I’m turning around

Running low on the gauge.
Morning blush on the high-rise glass.
So I take the long way, punching past the past, darling-oh.

This boulevard breathes without you (oh)
no one to buzz my number
every sign gets harder to read
oh-oh-oooh yeah!

You pull me into the small hours
heart on tempo, cutting through the town
I don’t slow down till I hear your sound
You pull me into the small hours
dash lights flicker while I chase you down
say my name once-I’m turning around

I’m outside just to let you know (letting you know)
couldn’t write it in a text, it shows (say it, don’t phone)
won’t let this slip my hands tonight-oh

You pull me into the small hours
heart on tempo, cutting through the town
Yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah

You pull me into the small hours
heart on tempo, cutting through the town
I don’t slow down till I hear your sound
You pull me into the small hours
dash lights flicker while I chase you down
say my name once-I’m turning around
Oooh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeeaaaah!

Lyrics:

Dad parked the truck.
Thermos coffee on the old grey dash now. 
He lifted me over the crowd—paper crowns in the gutter splash.
Banner meets rain. (Rain)
Brass kept ringing like coins in a glass jar.
“Son, when I can’t walk beside you, keep courage beating—make it last.” (Make it last)

I check the fridge door.
Flyers bent, the tacks are slipping, oh.
Chalk lines in the driveway.
You said, “If you’re scared, still walk the world.”

I will hold the line you drew, (You drew)
through shuttered shops and winter panes. (winter panes)
If my voice cracks, let it crack—
I’ll sing the cracks across the pane. Yeah. 
I will hold the line you drew; (You drew)
porch light brave until they’re near— (They're near)
if the street forgets our names, I’ll write them every year.
Oh yeah!

Your jacket hangs.
Safety pin holding the torn black seam tight. 
Program from your wake, tucked in the atlas—stars and county roads marked. 
Radio hush.  (Hush)
Washer ticking while I fold your shirt here. 
I read your punchlines out of order, laugh the way you would at home. (At home)

I set the table.
Rent past due and dishes leaning, oh.
Your seat stays open.
I leave a place for two, the way you taught.

I will hold the line you drew, (You drew)
past salted curbs and closing time. (closing time)
If my hands shake, let them shake—
I’ll drum the tremor into time., Yeah.
I will hold the line you drew; (You drew)
porch light burning, clear and slow—(Sloooow)
for the last to find the door—
for anyone walking slow.
Oh yeah!

No headlines.
No choir unless we start.
Start on one, make the first step ours.
I stitched your cuff.
Crooked seam, but all my heart.
If walls won’t give a lane, we chalk it wide and carry through. Yeah.

I will hold the line you drew, (You drew)
from Maple Street to anywhere. (anywhere)
If my voice breaks, let it break—
I’ll wear the cracks like soldered seams, oh yeah.
I will hold the line you drew; (You drew)
porch light on, the hallway warm—(hallway warm)
when the night pretends we’re small,
we answer with a storm.

Chalk dust on my jeans—porch light on.
Keys in hand. I leave it on.

I will hold the line you drew.
Yeah.

This Line You Drew

Track three on my 80's inspired LP. A Ballad this time. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

There's no spare time, no second door,
we spread our years across the table—
but they won't fold back into the time
that we have left to hold them close.

So keep your coat on, sit by me,
and say the things we saved for later—
while we still have names to call out
and breath enough to say them soft.

Nobody gets to live forever,
stay with me through the night—
and if the morning finds us here,
then hold on to me tight.

When you are gone, this room will echo,
I'll keep your cup, your chair untouched here,
and I will practice all the quiet things
you taught me how to say alone.

I'll learn the weight of empty hours,
the shape of all you've left behind here—
but while you're here, while I can reach you,
let me hold your hand in mine.

Nobody gets to live forever,
stay with me till first light—
and if grief comes to sit beside us,
we will make it right.

Nobody gets to live forever,
that was never ours to hold—
but this little while we have together,
we'll fill with all our souls.

Put your hand here, let the tears dry,
I will carry what I can—
and you just rest your weary eyes.

Nobody gets to live forever,
stay with me through the night—
this little while is ours together,
and that is still our right.

Nobody gets to live forever,
I won't ever let you go—
and if there's any road beyond this,
I will walk it slow.

Nobody gets to live forever,
nobody gets to stay—
but I am here beside you now,
and that won't fade away.

I'm here.

Nobody Gets Forever

Man, Had so much fun creating this banger! Enjoy!

Lyrics:

I've been circling the same four walls,
staring at your name still on the lease.
Kept your number just in case you'd call—
finally hit delete last week.
And I've made my choice,
I'm not waiting by the phone no more.

'Cause I know what it takes  
to bury what won't let you breathe.

So I'm burning the photos tonight,  
throwing away every reason to stay.  
Like a match to the past, watch it all go bright—  
and I'm done asking why,  
I'm just letting it die this time.

I'm just a man who believed too long,
holding onto words you didn't mean.
Tried to fix what was already gone—
wasted years on a losing scene.
But I'm letting go,
gonna find my own way home.

'Cause I know what it costs  
to keep feeding a ghost.

So I'm burning the photos tonight,  
throwing away every reason to stay.  
Like a match to the past, watch it all go bright—  
and I'm done asking why,  
I'm just letting it die this time.

If the smoke fills the room,  
I'll open every window wide.  
If the ashes won't settle,  
I'll scatter them and move on with my life.

So I'm burning the photos tonight,  
throwing away every reason to stay.  
Like a match to the past, watch it all go bright—  
and I'm done asking why,  
I'm just letting it die this time.

Burn the photos,  
burn the photos,  
burn the photos
