Sometimes I get down on myself
Wade into cold waters
Well hope the tide takes me
Should my heart grow bitter

I hear singing sparrows nesting
High up in their trees
Then look to the dirt and wonder
What’s grounding me?

And you said:
“Is there fire in a man who stands so deep within the water?”
Well the currents push and pull but I’m yet to slip under
So keep a little flame for me

I notice my reflection
And what it shows me
It’s not the ripples in motion
That distort what I see

False prophets, they’ve come and gone
Yes, they all drowned out there
I thought I could walk it
A fool like the others

And you said:
“Is there fire in a man who stands so deep within the water?”
Well the currents push and pull but I’m yet to slip under
So keep a little flame for me

All I am
Can fit within your palm
But don’t cast me deeper out to blue
All you see
Is waves crashing over me
But I’m making my way back to you

“Is there fire in a man who stands so deep within the water?”
Well the currents push and pull but I’m yet to slip under
So keep a little flame for me
Keep a little flame for me

A Little Flame

Lose Myself Again

I travelled north for the winter
To try outsmart the cold
But when I reached a place of shelter
I found the roof had a hole

The wind shakes the windows
Wanting to be let in
It’s that same wind that’s followed
Since the beginning

It’s here I lose myself again

These days are rarely kind
But there’s hours between
It’s in these hours I find
A chance to feel peace

And what more can I hope for
With this world so wild?
There I walk down the shore
Where I played as a child

It’s here I lose myself again

By the evening
There is waiting
A hungry monster
I should be taming
But day feigns safety from the terrors in the night
So I turn my back and put it far from sight

I don’t long for the past
I got memories, that’s enough
But time moves on so fast
That I struggle to keep up

It’s here I lose myself again
It’s here I lose myself again
It’s here I lose myself again

Lose Myself Again

Childish Dreams

Past the ragged climb of youth
You come to view a single truth
This world is small but all it holds
Is still too big for you

Tell me did you ever wonder
‘Bout all the people you could have been?
Without knowing you got older
Now there’s no time for childish dreams

Time and tide wait for no man
And their grasp is beyond your hand
So you give up against the current
Just treading water while you can

Tell me did you ever wonder
‘Bout all the people you could have been?
Without knowing you got older
Now there’s no time for childish dreams

When you wake up in the morning
There’s that first thought in your head
On your climb out into the world
You left a trail laced in regret

Tell me did you ever wonder
‘Bout all the people you could have been?
Without knowing you got older
Now there’s no time for childish dreams
But you still wonder
‘Bout all the people you could have been?
Without knowing you got older
Now there’s no time for childish dreams

Childish Dreams

Borderline

Everyday
I get older
A little wiser
Or so I like to think
Come what may
I feel bolder
Or maybe that's the fool after a drink

Don't leave me hanging on the vine
Take a chance on this heart of mine
As I try to be
A man that you can see
But honey you say that I'm still borderline

I wake up
On most mornings
To go working
Just to get by
Playing grown-up
It's all pretending
But I'll fake it 'til I don't have to try

Don't leave me hanging on the vine
Take a chance on this heart of mine
As I try to be
A man that you can see
But honey you say that I'm still borderline

Borderline

Wrapped Up In You

You were a rebel
You were a rebel with a cause
Now waiting tables
While dreaming of applause
You're a singer
Painting pictures
With those words that dance across your lonely room

You got style
You got style but you're afraid
It's been a while
Since you had anything to crave
Your dream lost amongst living costs
You've got no time to get there anytime soon

They may be laughing
They may be laughing at you dear
But they'll be silent
If you play and if they hear
I know its scary
When there's so many
They push your back up against the wall

If you mean it
If you mean it they will come
In their droves
To listen to your song
That long dress
Reveals shyness
But if they don't like it, well, fuck them all

Caught in a routine cycle
Drinking the dregs of living
There once was a rebel
But her view is thinning
And I don't know if she can tell
If she's even singing
Or if she's just dreaming away

I'm a believer
I'm a believer in you
I saw your show
You sang mostly in tune
And there was heart
You played the part
And the crowd was mostly listening too

I think I love you
I know I love to hear you sing
When you soar
Well, it's just the sweetest thing
You cause elation
My head spinning
'Til it's all wrapped up in you

Wrapped Up In You

Wonderful Tonight (Cover)

Every year I lose track of time
Is it going faster or is it just my mind?
Can you shed some light or are you just like me?
Living the routine life just going through the beats

I watch the river flow out to the sea
Carried to places that I could only dream
I wanna see the world from a seat of kings
But I'm waiting for real life to begin

Solace comes when I'm asleep
Laying out the world I seek
Solace comes when I'm asleep
Still I long for Tomorrow

I tow the line, living life by the off-hand
Feeling like a child pretending he's a man
You know I'm going but I ain't there quite yet
And you wonder why I'm still smoking cigarettes

Solace comes when I'm asleep
Laying out the world I seek
Solace comes when I'm asleep
Still I long for Tomorrow

Solace comes when I'm asleep
Laying out the world I seek
Solace comes when I'm asleep
Still I long for Tomorrow
