Peaches (with Collin Snyder)

Facing the dark 
The dark of your night
I hear they call 
I hear they cry

Feel the warmth 
Your skin against mine
Hear their call 
Hear their call

The rain falls softly 
On the side of your cheek
Pull me closer now 
pull me closer now

The rain falls on these bed sheets
hear my voice now
Hear my voice now

(humming)

The taste
The taste on my tongue
Oh its so real now
Oh its so real now

Oh no don’t tell me that
Tell me you know
That you want me back

Theres no room for judgment
You have passed
Opon your soul

Yeah theres no room
Under these bed sheets
For the judgement
Upon your soul

hold me close close my dear
feel my breath by your ear

hold me close
don’t you fear
it’ll be alright
cause I’m right here

listen to the sound of my voice
don’t be afraid now
Hold you close
in my arms 
the only sound will be 
(humming)


Lullaby

LYRICS:
You know its hard to do the work
got to get through the day and not be a jerk
yeah i know it might be easier to sit around all day
but you gotta put in the work if you want to stay

Chorus
when you call his name a thousand times
when you say he's never coming around
when you say you feel alone without him now
You’re still doing all you can to keep him around
You’re still doing all you can to keep him around
 
Verse
if only they knew whats in his heart
nothing he’d ever do would tear them apart
but his words they won’t understand if he doesn’t tell
or maybe he’s just under some god awful spell

Chorus
when you call their names a thousand times
when you say they’re never coming around
and you say that you feel alone without them now
You’re still doing all you can to keep um around
You’re still doing all you can to keep them around
 


Keep Them Around

LYRCIS:
You’re gonna let go of my hand
And find another man
Show him your new land
Find another man
All the wrongs and all the rights
Cause you think you’ll never fight

Please let me know if you wanna stay or wanna go
You’re gonna find someone new who can give it to you

I know you’re through 
You’re gonna find someone new
It already shows
I’m the source of every woe

You’re gonna let go of my hand
To find another man
You’re gonna let go of my hand
to find another man

Please let me know if you wanna stay or wanna go
You’re gonna find someone new who can give it to you

Another Man

LYRICS:
Yeah theres no one in the world 
who knows your problems or your trouble
and theres just no way in hell 
they’re gonna help before you stumble
Yes i know i know i know this can’t be true
no it can’t be true 
cause theres nothing to be found 
but the feeling that I’ve got now

(feeling' down)

Cant get me down can’t let them get me down 
Cant get me down no they won’t get me down

Ive got a new what to talk a new walk
 a new way to see and a new way to be
cause I’ve been seeing all around me 
all the ways i don’t wanna be
these things around me yeah they’re so damn crazy getting crazy
but i just can’t let these things that I’ve been feeling turn me around no

I know someday ill get out of this trouble
I’ve got to find a way
cause this love this love this love its all around me 
and i know and i know its here to stay  


Get Me Down

LYRICS:
Give me a shot in the dark
I know I’ve missed a lot
Maybe this time it won’t be so hard

Light pours in the window 
Through a thin blue blanket 
That won’t ever keep it out

You never cared to caress
Or try to relieve the stress 
Of always feeling alone


I fell for you
I fell so hard
But hit the floor
I’m tired of
Calling your name
No won’t you hold me close anymore

Bring me back to the days
Long lost in the storm 
Of misleading dishonesty

Theres so many things 
That I’ve wanted to say
If only you’d listen

I guess the choice is yours
Between them and me
Its all the lies that they won’t see

I hope you know
It breaks my heart 
That I’m the reason for you sleeping alone

I fell for you
I fell so hard
But hit the floor
I’m tired of 
Calling your name
No won’t you hold me close anymore
Calling your name
No won’t you hold me close anymore


Blue Blanket

LYRICS:
All these things I try to fake
And every way I try to make or break 
It gets so yeah it gets so old. 

You push and pull, put things at stake 
but it just don't make 
no it never makes a difference 
make a difference 
 
Too insecure to make a choice
Lost the power to find a voice 

Walking down the curvy road
Takes on a heavier load
Telling lies so he might find 
A happier piece of mind

Im so free and I’m so young
I’m the farthest from your sun but i still feel close

If the night has come and the land is dark
and the moon is the only light you see 
come to me
come back to me

Too insecure to make a choice
Lost the power to find a voice 

Walking down the curvy road
Takes on a heavier load
Telling lies so he might find 
A happier piece of mind


Happier Mind
