You know, it doesn't seem that long ago
we were standing by your doorway
lingering a little bit too long
and it seemed like we were waiting
to see who'd pull the trigger
but for me I felt the timing was all wrong

I always thought that you were perfect
and that I was undeserving
I was scared your heart might let me drag you down
so I always kept my distance
though I thought you might be willing
now the only place I hear you is this song.

I know you're where you're meant to be
and I'm so glad you're happy now
but somewhere deep inside of me
I still hope it won't work out

I was the lowest that I'd ever been
and for me you know that's something
when you tried to change while I was in the room
I knew I couldn't trust my instincts
'cause in the past they always led me
on a path that kept me far from you

You must have thought that I was crazy
as I sat out on that stairway
with every dream I'd ever had behind one door
and the sun behind your silhouette 
in the grass down by the vineyards
Well I guess sometimes one chance is all you get

I never should have doubted
didn't know what I should do
after a decade I never thought that I'd get through
I never should have settled
should have fought for what I knew
that I would never be as happy without you

I know you're where you're meant to be
and I'm so glad you're happy now
but somewhere deep inside of me
I still hope it won't work out

You know, it seems a million years ago
we were standing by your doorway
just a day or two before your plane would leave

London Bound

This song was written by myself and Paul Henley. Please forgive us for the ridiculousness, simple sound quality and profanity that is part of our basic nature.

Wash Away

I love this recording. This is a cover of Hanging Around by Counting Crows. This was recorded live at Hairy Toni's pub in Cortland, NY.

Two Princes cover live w/ Brent Clark

This is an older song of mine that I've never gotten around to re-recording. I thought maybe I should just throw it up anyways.

Means Of Shelter

This was one of the first times that I played this song live. I thought it might be fun to listen to for someone.

The Chains (Fleetwood Mac cover) live

This is a newly mixed version of one of my newest songs.

Embrace

For three minutes you're up and then you're down.
There's still too many people when no one's around.
Welcome to your roller coaster ride.
Controls on full no operator in sight.

No hands on the wheel but you're changing lanes.
Each decision looks the same.
Good or bad, there's no such thing.
There's just these moments, that never seem to end.

You search for the sun but the shades are drawn.
You're breaking down when nothing's wrong.
The exit taunts you with it's light.
Your feet start to slide as you grab for anything in sight.

No hands on the wheel but you're changing lanes.
Each decision looks the same.
Good or bad, there's no such thing.
There's just these moments, that never seem to end.

Now you're falling.
Fading away.
And you can't stop it, again.

No hands on the wheel but you're changing lanes.
Each decision looks the same.
Good or bad, there's no such thing.
There's just these moments, that never seem to end.

Nothing but these moments.
