LYRICS
You keep in touch
but out of reach 
You know me
I always did like hide and seek 
This crush
I’m underneath 
it gets lonely
more hand to mouth than cheek to cheek

Tell me again and
this time try to mean it
Tell me again and
This time try to mean it
 
You call me up 
from far away 
though it’s so late 
you don’t seem to have much to say
I think you must 
have news to break 
I can take it 
I’d rather hear it from you, baby

Hook
 
If we’re just play fighting 
how come that blade’s shining 
how come my eyeliner’s running 
Then all of a sudden
you strike lightning
You turn me outside in
then I’m hit 
I’m in trouble
Now it’s
just a matter of time
 
It’s just a matter of time
It’s just a matter of time
 
I hope you love somebody
Even if that body isn’t mine
 
Even if that body isn’t mine
it isn’t
Even if that body isn’t
if that body isn’t
Even if that body isn’t
that body isn’t mine
 
Oh, just a little liquid courage and
Ooh, just a little powdered faith
I’ve been in and out of trouble  
while you have been walking away 
Oh, just a little liquid courage and
Ooh, just a little powdered faith
And oh, you’ve been running out of patience
And me, I’ve just been dancing in place

LYRICS
I ran away young 
with a kite and a water gun 
looking for a fight
pretty quick to find some 
Hair tucked up in a Lakers cap
flip the lucky in a soft pack
smoked it last 
Walking down the yellow line
g’head write your traffic ticket
I thought I was hard as fuck  
I thought I was on a mission
Jump cut to the present day 
still got the same sharp tongue
same long face 

Pride 
is my problem
I know that’s right
but that don’t solve it

I don’t like favors
I don’t like debts I can’t repay
I don’t like making
anything less than my own way
What if I’m not ready

What if I’m not ready
for all that I’ve been waiting for
Hold it all against me 
push me through the only doorway
I’ve been here too long by now
and that’s how time runs out 

On the phone with a friend
says worry where you're going don’t worry where you’ve been
Sounds like he’s reaching out a hand 
are you reaching back to him
Maybe you’re too attached to your freedom
truth is you don’t let anybody in cuz you don’t like em leaving 

My pride 
is my problem
I know that’s right
but that don’t solve it

Hook

My battle cry 
just one last time
My signal fire 
this life of mine

My pride
is my problem
My battle cry
I don’t like favors 
I don’t like debts I can’t repay 
My signal fire
I don’t like making anything less than my own way
For all that I’ve been waiting for
What if I’m not ready

What If I'm Not Ready

Midnight Mystery

In memory of Nicole B

You were twenty four
On the Eastern Shore
Finally on your own
Drivin’ home alone

Headlights on the road
Where’d your exit go
Life won’t get you down
But you hate this town
Wish you could just turn around

Sister, sister
Tell me you’re alive
Sister, sister
I know you’ll arrive soon

Winter’s coming on
Like a Cajun song
Man it’s cold tonight
The world does not seem right

Make it ‘cross that bay
You’ve driven most the way
You had your life ahead
Then the light turned red
Screaming sirens blare, one last gasp of air

Sister, sister
Tell me you’re alive
Sister, sister
I know you’ll arrive soon

Now you’ll
Never see your wedding day
Never watch your children play
Things were finally settling down
Now you’re buried in the ground
I dream that you never left
Then I wake up out of breath
Sometimes life don’t make much sense
It crushes all our innocence

I think your eyes were blue
I barely got to know you
The days we had were so few

You could be a clown
You could party down
You were full of heart
Mine is torn apart
Where can I press restart
What a rotten deal you got

Sister, sister
Tell me you’re alive
Sister, sister
I know you’ll arrive soon
