I love how you balanced the motion and upbeat rhythms against lyrics that sometimes were kinda dark.  Great song!  Thank you!

Just Passing Through
July 21, 2015

pulled into town
late last Thursday night
caked with dust
from a long hard ride
hoping everything
would be alright

I recall the time
you and I were one
full of love
dancing through our nights
seemed like all our dreams
would work out right

just passing through
and I'm thinking of you
tonight
yeah I'm thinking of you
as I'm passing through
this life

but all the things we hope for
and all the things we try
fade to black
like the long dark night
feels like everything
between us died

just passing through
and I'm thinking of you
tonight
I'm still thinking of you
as I'm passing through
this life

One more day
One more grave
One more game to play
Tonight

crash through the gates
of heaven at first light
caked with blood
from a long hard life
nothing lasts forever
say good night

just passing through
and I'm thinking of you
tonight
yeah I'm thinking of you
as I'm passing through
this life

Solitude  

I would be grateful, if I didn´t need to feel abandoned again,
cause oh, this was never my feeling anyway,
it was yours and it´s old by the way, so let´s…
shake this off and put it where it belongs, shake this off and put it…

Away with waves,
praised be grace,
solitude feels so good.

I would be grateful, if I could allow myself to feel what I feel,
cause oh, it was you, but now it´s me, who forbid,
so let´s ease and perceive and then …
shake this off and put it where it belongs, shake this off and put it…

Away with waves,
praised be grace,
solitude feels so good.

Solitude

Once someone has gone from your life, you'll never get the chance to tell them all the things you'd rehearsed in your mind.

LYRICS/VOCALS by Rachelle Wells. MUSIC/VOCALS John Staples

"Nothing Left to Say"

VERSE

Goodbye’s my favorite word
since I lost sight of you
If I say it enough times
Will I believe it’s true?

VERSE

When it’s quiet outside
I can almost hear your voice
Wish tonight that I might
See your face one last time

CHORUS

(Wish that you had known
How much I loved you
Wish you could’ve seen it
In my darkened eyes
Wish you’d known I cared
More than I could ever say
But these wishes mean nothing
‘Cause it’s far too late
And there’s nothing left to say
No, there’s nothing left to say)

VERSE

i can choose the image
that you make in my mind
pretendin' that one day
you would've been mine

VERSE

if only i’d been brave enough
to finally take the chance
i stayed silent and afraid
Said no to the dance

CHORUS

(Wish that you had known
How much I loved you
Wish you could’ve seen it
In my darkened eyes
Wish you’d known I cared
More than I could ever say
But these wishes mean nothing
‘Cause it’s far too late
And there’s nothing left to say
No, there’s nothing left to say)

BRIDGE

Lay that pretty head down
Right here next to mine
I’ll listen to you breathing
As our fingers entwine

Oh, I’m just daydreamin’
Regret’s my closest friend
I ought to put it all away
This song will be the end

CHORUS

(Wish that you had known
How much I loved you
Wish you could’ve seen it
In my darkened eyes
Wish you’d known I cared
More than I could ever say
But these wishes mean nothing
‘Cause it’s far too late
And there’s nothing left to say
No, there’s nothing left to say)

END TAG

Wishes mean nothing
When it’s far too late
Now there’s nothing left to say
No, there’s nothing left to say
