Holes In The Sky

Faith pt. 1

Quiet As You Can

Ghost on a Wire

She says it’s fine but I don’t agree
It’s like there’s five of her but there’s only one of me
 
But as long as she knows
As long as she knows
 
While she’s sleeping I’m lying here awake
I can’t help but feel like I’m her biggest mistake
 
But as long as she knows
As long as she knows
 
I know she’s better than me
That’s why I’ll never leave
She’s so much better than me
So I hope that I’m all that she needs
 
But know, as long as you’ll keep me
I’ll be around
As long as you need me
I’ll be your solid ground
 
She says it’s fine but I don’t agree
I should come home sometimes before she falls asleep
 
But as long as she knows
As long as she knows
 
I know she’s better than me
That’s why I’ll never leave
She’s so much better than me
So I hope and I pray that I’m all that she needs

So, please, please, don’t leave
So, please, please don’t leave me

‘cause I hope and I pray that I’m all that she needs

And know, as long as you’ll keep me
I’ll be around
As long as you need me
I’ll be your solid ground

As Long As She Knows

I lost my best friend again
I made her my lover
Why are we such idiots
When we get under covers
 
So, we drank too much
And our bodies started to ache
And that’s all its takes to make the biggest mistake
 
And here we are with
So much to lose
I can’t make up my mind
I’m so confused
And here we are
It’s our time to shine
But I can’t be the me you see
Inside of your mind
 
I lost my best friend again
I made her my lover
Why is it never enough
Just to love her like a brother
She locked the doors
Closed all the shutters
I can tell she never comes out
By the leaves in her gutter
I’d love to talk to you
I’d love to come over
But talk is never enough
I always have to show her
 
And here we are
With so much to lose
We’re damned if we don’t
We’re damned if we do
And here we are
It’s our time to shine
But I can’t be yours and you can’t be mine

Best Friend

And now she know exactly where he’s been
She found that red lipstick on his collar again
She went mad
He went mad
They went mad
 
She was waiting there
In her rocking chair
No tears left, just a blank, blank stare
And she went mad
He went mad
They went mad
 
This life gets so long and I felt so alone
Me a working man, you, your mother on the phone
And I felt like giving up each and every day
Instead I found a way to throw it all away
He went mad
 
He arrived to the barrel of a gun
Nothing left to say
He knows exactly what he’s done
She went mad
He went mad
They went mad
 
And this life gets so long and I felt so alone
Me a working man, you, your mother on the phone
And I felt like giving up each and every day
Instead I found a way to throw it all away
And he went mad

And she went

She went mad

This is the worst I’m thinking
If you stay we’ll work it out
This could be the last round of the bout
If this is a choice you’re making
I hope that you’d understand
Things will never be the same again
Once you leave
 
I meant it when I said it and I mean it to this day
Love will always find a way
And now my heart is your’s
And all these walls that fall apart are shored
You have a choice to make
 
But know, I would never lie to you
I’ll love you no matter what you choose
I deserve nothing but the truth
When it’s through it’s through
 
If it’s your heart that’s breaking
I hope that you would turn around
And see that it’s a family and a home
You’re not alone
No, no
 
So to think you were sarcastic with what you said to me
It makes me sick but inside I agree
And my heart is your’s and all these walls that fall apart are shored
And you have a choice to make
 
But know, I would never lie to you
I’ll love you no matter what you choose
I deserve nothing but the truth
When it’s through it’s

So, I will never lie to you
And I’ll love you no matter what you choose
And I deserve nothing but the truth
When it’s through it’s

I could never lie to you
And I’ll love you no matter what you choose
And I deserve nothing but the truth
When it’s through it’s through

So, this is choice you’re making
I hope that you would understand
Things will never be the same again

The Last Round

Trying to sleep with you there
Feel like a child when it’s snowing outside trying to pay attention in class
But your body’s so new and the way you move back in forth inside the spoon
Mmmm mmmm mmmm
 
Why does it have to be so hard
When you want what I want and we’re both right here
 
Trying to sleep with you there
Try to keep my breath off your neck and my hands off your hair
And with every sound you make, I pray to god you’re awake
So I can stake my claim
 
Why does it have to be so hard
When you want what I want and we’re both right here
Why does it have to be so hard with these inches like miles
When you want what I want and we’re both right here
 
With these inches like miles
With these minutes like hours
 
Chorus

Trying To Sleep

I spent most of my days thinking life was a dream
Mistook the walls in my room for the clouds and the trees
Fill your head full of feeling and your heart full of names
Put them together and you’re back in the dream
 
And life’s a long time to waste
So, get out of your head and get swept away
And life’s a long time to waste
 
I spent most of my evening watching other people live my dreams
They’re painting pictures on the back of my eyes from the light of a tv screen
Fill your head full of dreams and your heart full of doubt
All that you’ve got is your back on the couch
 
Life’s a long time to waste
So, get out of your head and get swept away
Because a name could never prepare you for those real things
A field’s just a field and a star’s just a star
Then you’re only what they told you, you are
And life’s a long time to waste
 
So I spend most of my mornings on my daily commute
With my friends on my radio to help make it through
Fill your head full of figures and your heart full of pride
You’re always on the road, but never driven for that drive

And life’s a long time to waste
So, get out of your head and get swept away
Because a name could never prepare you for those real things
A stone’s just a stone, a road’s just a road
And your destination’s where you’re told to go
Life’s a long
Life's a long
Life's a long time to waste

Life's A Long Time To Waste

I guess everything’s a trade-off
You make every day seem long
Spending all my time with the you inside my head
Until you get home
 
And now I’m not afraid of
The things I won’t become
Because I found my end and my beginning
And I wrote her this song
 
And I’m always feeling these feeling too soon
But you never know who you’re fighting for
‘Til the fighting is through
 
And somehow you showed me
In a matter of days
Just what life could be like
Without me in my way
And now I’m not afraid of showing
What I’ve held close to my vest
Because it’s not the words you write
That matter as much as to whom they’re addressed
 
Chorus
 
And I’ve heard you say
In more articulate ways
That the things that make you different
Are the things that make you great
And now I’m not afraid of
The things I’ve done wrong
Because they’re the blood pumping through every word
I sing in this song 

Chorus

'Til The Fighting Is Through

Luke Wade's writing is always honest and never self-indulgent, creating music that feels as much a part of the listener as the artist.  His ‘damaged in transport but absolutely delivered’ charm has endeared him to his audience and encouraged a rabid following wherever he performs. Instinctively, Luke seems to realize that his success is always secondary to the song, resulting in a refreshing vulnerability.
