Along Beside Me

Fadin away
There’s a part o’ me breakin’ apart
But I’d rather be broken 
Than be a whole nothin’ from the start 

It’s only the start of the day 
Already memories they tear me apart
But I’d rather be broken
Than give it all nothin from the heart 
I dream at night of shadows that I can’t define 
Reflections of the thoughts that I let in 
Whispers on their icy breath from time to time 
Don’t wanna let the bad guys win
I dream at night of shadows that I can’t define 
Reflections of the thoughts that I let in 
Whispers on their icy breath from time to time 
Don’t wanna let the bad guys win

I can’t be running away
When everything I am is falling apart 
Don’t like you seeing me broken
But I ain’t making shadows in the dark 

Oh at the end of the day 
Too many losses I could ever ignore 
But I’m only a failure 
If I don’t fight them all anymore 

I dream at night of shadows that I can’t define 
Reflections of the thoughts that I let in 
Whispers on their icy breath from time to time 
Don’t wanna let the bad guys win
I dream at night of shadows that I can’t define 
Reflections of the thoughts that I let in 
Whispers on their icy breath from time to time 
Don’t wanna let the bad guys win

I can feel the fear of somethin movin’ up along beside me
How do I keep looking far ahead of all the pain behind me 
I can feel the fear of somethin movin’ up along beside me
How do I keep looking far ahead of all the pain behind me 
Don't wanna let the bad guys win

I dream at night of shadows that I can’t define 
Reflections of the thoughts that I let in 
Whispers on their icy breath from time to time 
Don't wanna let the bad guys win


Let the bad guys win 
Whoa bad guys win
Let the bad guys win
No Oh

Along Beside Me

Along Beside Me (Ft. Bond Girl)

Moonshine Girl  

The way you move
The way you move is enough to make me feel fine
Slow moving
Slow moving like molasses in the Wintertime
And the smell of your hair
A smell like fresh cut grass in the springtime
And a kick like a slug from my daddy’s jug of moonshine 

Baby you gotta get your butt outa bed
I know you’ll do it in your own time hey
I got a thousand questions drivin’ me right outa my head
And they’re messing up a fine rhyme
It wouldn’t give me no rest until you were mine
My Moonshine Girl I saw you and I knew you were blessed looking so fine
My Moonshine Girl I was lovestruck and obsessed, deaf dumb and blind
My Moonshine Girl Oh I couldn’t get me no rest until you were mine
My Moonshine

 ’n’ we’ve got a few things that need to be said
I need some answers while we’re still young, hey
I got too questions doing me right outa my head, whoa And they’re dancing off the tip of my tongue

It wouldn’t give me no rest until you were mine
My Moonshine Girl I saw you and I knew you were blessed looking so fine
My Moonshine Girl I was lovestruck and obsessed, deaf dumb and blind
My Moonshine Girl Oh I couldn’t get me no rest until you were mine
My Moonshine Girl

Oh you are a taste of moonshine I must confess
I still remember you moving in slow motion babe in that little cotton dress Hot summer sweat running rivers between the swelling of your chest
Until I held you girl my fast beatin’ heart….

It wouldn’t give me no rest until you were mine
My Moonshine Girl I saw you and I knew you were blessed looking so fine
My Moonshine Girl I was lovestruck and obsessed, deaf dumb and blind
My Moonshine Girl Oh I couldn’t get me no rest until you were mine
My Moonshine Girl

Until you were mine my moonshine girl I couldn’t get me no rest
Until you were mine my moonshine girl I couldn’t get me no rest
Until you were mine my moonshine girl I couldn’t get me no rest
Until you were mine my moonshine girl I couldn’t get me no rest Until you were mine my moonshine girl

MOONSHINE GIRL

TELL ME 

Something’s on your mind again 
But you don’t wanna say 
Don’t be surprised I’m unaware 
You bottle it away
Even though I’m here for you
I’m bound to walk away  
If you can’t talk to me 
It makes no sense to stay

YOU GOT THIS PROBLEM WITH ME I DON’T FEEL THE SAME 
I’M STILL TRYIN TO FIGURE OUT IF I’M THE ONE TO BLAME 
I KNOW THAT IT’S CERTAIN WE WON’T STAY THE SAME 
IF YOU DON’T TELL ME ANYTHING
 IF YOU DON’T TELL ME ANYTHING

Something’s on your mind again 
But I have no idea 
Your body might be in the room
Your mind though isn’t here
I’m here for you, talk to me 
Say how your feel 
I know that my heart can’t face what
My mind knows ain’t real

YOU GOT THIS PROBLEM WITH ME I DON’T FEEL THE SAME 
I’M STILL TRYIN TO FIGURE OUT IF I’M THE ONE TO BLAME 
I KNOW THAT IT’S CERTAIN WE WON’T STAY THE SAME 
IF YOU DON’T TELL ME ANYTHING 
IF YOU DON’T TELL ME ANYTHING

If you wanted one last try
 If you thought it best I stay 
I’d take the time to somehow find a way
But I gotta know right now
Cause I’ve wasted so much time
This hope I’ve held so long will fade away
Fade away

YOU GOT THIS PROBLEM WITH ME I DON’T FEEL THE SAME 
I’M STILL TRYIN TO FIGURE OUT IF I’M THE ONE TO BLAME
I KNOW THAT IT’S CERTAIN WE WON’T STAY THE SAME
IF YOU DON’T TELL ME ANYTHING
IF YOU DON’T TELL ME ANYTHING

Do do do do do do do tell me  
Do do do do do do do do tell me  
Do do do do do do do tell me  
Do do do do do do do do do tell me  
Do do do do do do do tell me  
Do do do do do do do do tell me  
Do do do do do do do tell me  
Do do do do do do do do do tell me

Tell Me

Slow Motion

I love you - you’re all I know
You’re all I have - you’re everything
I’m so into you - here i belong
It still feels so new after so long

She walks home along the ocean
By theses waves before the night - outa sight
Without colour in slow motion 
Moving though the fading light

I love you - you’re all I need
My heart it stops when you look at me
I’m so into you - here I belong
Still feels so new after so long

She walks home along the ocean
(Still can’t believe that I with her)
By theses waves before the night 
(She makes me feel like I belong)
Without colour in slow motion 
(Yeah what we got it feels so new)
Moving though the fading light 
(Oh even though it’s been so long)

I get to hold you, hold you all night
I get to hold you, hold you ’til daylight

She walks home along the ocean
(Still can’t believe that I with her)
By theses waves before the night 
(She makes me feel like I belong)
Without colour in slow motion 
(Yeah what we got it feels so new)
Moving though the fading light 
(Oh even though it’s been so long)

I get to hold you, hold you ’til daylight

Slow Motion

Honey

We made another funny homemade video
And we keep on laughing at the story, even though,
It ain’t that funny and our jokes, they kinda blow
But how can I not love our rather silly little show?

While you’re smiling baby I’ll always find a way, 
Honey I hope I’m always enough for you
And I don’t belong with anybody else, oh no way
While you are here there’s nothing I can’t do

You make me dance although I’m rockin’ two left feet
You got me throwing’ backflips up and down the street
I don’t care if this is crazy, you make life complete
How can I not tell the world? I can’t be so discreet?

While you’re smiling baby I’ll always find a way, 
Honey I hope I’m always enough for you
And I don’t belong with anybody else, oh no way
While you are here there’s nothing I can’t do

Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, oh oh honey 
While you are here there’s nothing I won’t do, Honey
Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, oh oh honey 
While you are here there’s nothing I won’t do, Honey

While you’re smiling baby I’ll always find a way, 
Honey I hope I’m always enough for you
And I don’t belong with anybody else, oh no way
While you are here there’s nothing I can’t do

While you’re smiling baby I’ll always find a way, 
Honey I hope I’m always enough for you
And I don’t belong with anybody else, oh no way
While you are here there’s nothing I can’t do

While you are here there’s nothing I can’t do, Honey

HOW IT ALL GOES

Everything we know could fall apart
You could be the one to break my heart
I could be the guy to ruin everything you know 

The ground could open and swallow you
The sky could tumble down around the view 
The tide could drag us out beneath the undertow     

It’s kinda how it all goes, you can’t fight fate
You gotta welcome the lows when the highs aren’t great
Be right here right now and forget about the rest of the day 

The world ain’t gonna stop when there’s no one here
If you wanna fight the fight, gotta fight the fear
We don’t have enough time to care about what lies below

I wanna be with you, you’re the only one
I don’t care about your past or the things you’ve done 
Where we are right now is the only place that I wanna go
 
It’s kinda how it all goes, you can’t fight fate
You gotta welcome the lows when the highs aren’t great
Be right here right now and forget about the rest of the day 

It’s kinda how it all goes, you can’t be afraid
Kick back and take in the show, see this thing that we’ve made
Stay with me right here, don’t be fearing our love away 

 I wanna be with you,  I wanna be with you
 I wanna be with you, you’re the only one  
 I wanna be with you,  I wanna be with you
 I wanna be with you, you’re the only one  

Who wouldn’t love on you? Who wouldn’t love you? (etc.)

It’s kinda how it all goes, you can’t fight fate
You gotta welcome the lows when the highs aren’t great
Be right here right now and forget about the rest of the day 

It’s kinda how it all goes, you can’t be afraid
Kick back and take in the show, see this thing that we’ve made
Stay with me right here, don’t be fearing our love away

How It All Goes

ROADSIDE  Don’t ask me why I pulled you over
Keep your cool, don’t make me justify 
Now turn that key all nice and slowly
Show me your hands and hold ‘em high
   
No you don’t wanna know me crazy
You don’t wanna meet that guy   
Trust me if I get all shaky
I might need to show you why

No I don’t like your tone!
Don’t talk to me that way!
Don’t make me send you home
In a different kinda way!
So don’t talk to me that way! 

Yeah I know why you pulled me over There’s a reason I did 85 
But I’ll keep walking to you nice and slowly
Right now I need to be alive

But you need to listen to me  
Trust me there’s a reason why    
Yeah I can see that you’re already shaky
And I’m worried you want me to die

No I don’t like your tone!
Don’t talk to me that way!
Don’t make me send you home
In a different kinda way!
So don’t talk to me that way! 

I don’t gotta die today
take your finger off the trigger - put your gun away
I don’t gotta die today

I don’t gotta die today
take your finger off the trigger - put your gun away
I don’t gotta die today

If you’d let me speak to you I could explain it
That cool that you’re losing, you need to maintain it
Just search my car I know you’ll understand it 
The roadside at gunpoint, it’s not how we planned it!  
 
No I don’t like your tone!
Don’t talk to me that way!
Don’t make me send you home
In a different kinda way!
So don’t talk to me that way! 

It’s not how we planned it!    I don’t gotta die today
take your finger off the trigger - put your gun away
I don’t gotta die today

I don’t gotta die today
take your finger off the trigger - put your gun away
I don’t gotta die today

She Don't Need No Hollywood


You don’t need to drive me hey
You don’t need to drive me to L.A.

Oh every day she takes that part of me
I don’t show easily
And she turns me inside out
Read the headline in my rave review 
“Might Break a Heart or Two”
That’s what she’s about!  

YOU DON’T NEED TO DRIVE ME
TO CALIFORNIA 
SHE’S RIGHT BESIDE ME
I DIDN’T HAVE TO SEARCH L.A. FOR MY ANGEL
SHE’S GONNA SAVE ME
MY LEADING LADY
SHE DON’T NEED NO HOLLYWOOD

Hey
You don’t need to drive me to L.A.
Oh every day she steals another show
My Marilyn Monroe
But I get the front row seat 
She don’t need to grace no movie screen
To make a perfect scene
It’s all in front of me

YOU DON’T NEED TO DRIVE ME
TO CALIFORNIA SHE’S RIGHT BESIDE ME
DIDN’T HAVE TO SEARCH L.A. FOR MY ANGEL
SHE’S GONNA SAVE ME
MY LEADING LADY
SHE DON’T NEED NO HOLLYWOOD 

HOLLYWOOD  
She don’t need no Hollywood
HOLLYWOOD  
She don’t need no Hollywood

YOU DON’T NEED TO DRIVE ME
TO CALIFORNIA 
SHE’S RIGHT BESIDE ME
I DIDN’T HAVE TO SEARCH L.A. FOR MY ANGEL
SHE’S GONNA SAVE ME
MY LEADING LADY

YOU DON’T NEED TO DRIVE ME
TO CALIFORNIA 
SHE’S RIGHT BESIDE ME
DIDN’T HAVE TO SEARCH L.A. FOR MY ANGEL
SHE’S GONNA SAVE ME
MY LEADING LADY
SHE DON’T NEED NO HOLLYWOOD

HOLLYWOOD  
She don’t need no Hollywood 
(you don’t need to drive me to California) 
HOLLYWOOD  
She don’t need no Hollywood

You don’t need to drive me hey
You don’t need to drive me to L.A.

Just Like You

Meant 2 B Hard

She said I, 
Didn’t know that everything could feel so right now you’re mine
I’m so high 
I got a feeling I’ll be up here all my life and that’s fine 

What we got ain’t complicated 
No need to articulate it
Sometimes everything falls into place
Effortless ain’t overrated
Some things can’t be overstated 
I’m happy to explain it just in case You can’t read my face  

Oh so it might make more sense if I break something down
(We don’t need to prove anything to feel like we ain’t wrong)
If you must know our secret I’ll share what I’ve found
(We don’t need to keep fighting hard to feel like we belong)
If it’s meant to be hard then we must be doing something wrong
We must be doing something wrong

She said I, 
I don’t mind the better view from way up high - we’re so high
Oh my, 
Gravity ain’t quite the hurdle when you fly - that’s no lie!

I don’t care how we be floating 
Newton friend you ain’t worth quoting
We don’t need to know why we so high

Yeah I’m grateful, I’d be certain 
More than blessed this ain’t a burden 
Whoever says it’s hard don’t say it right
Oh and that you can’t deny!

Oh so it might make more sense if I break something down
(We don’t need to prove anything to feel like we ain’t wrong)
If you must know our secret I’ll share what I’ve found
(We don’t need to keep fighting hard to feel like we belong)
If it’s meant to be hard then we must be doing something wrong
 
If it’s meant to be hard then we must be doing something wrong We must do something wrong
If it’s meant to be hard then we must be doing something wrong

Oh so it might make more sense if I break something down
(We don’t need to prove anything to feel like we ain’t wrong)
If you must know our secret I’ll share what I’ve found
(We don’t need to keep fighting hard to feel like we belong)
If it’s meant to be hard then we must be doing something wrong
We must be doing something wrong
If it’s meant to be hard then we must be doing something wrong
We must be doing something wrong

Meant 2 B Hard

Cause I don’t wanna go

Didn't sign up for the antics
But I'm not the kind to bail
We got in this situation
We can get out 'fore we fail 

Yeah I struggle waiting for you 
'til it's way past way too late
If the devil's in the detail
Knowing nothing would be great

NO I DON’T WANNA HAVE AN ARGUMENT AGAIN
WHY CAN’T WE BE THE WAY WE USED TO BE BACK THEN, OH YOU KNOW
WE GOT A PROBLEM AND IT DIDN’T START TODAY
BUT IT GOTTA END CAUSE I DON’T WANT TO GO

Girl my stomach's churning tricks again
My inside's inside out
The only thing I'm sure of is
The less I know oh girl the less I doubt

I can count a million reasons why
I just gotta leave this place
I suspect I'll reach a hundred
'fore you're back up in my face

NO I DON’T WANNA HAVE AN ARGUMENT AGAIN
WHY CAN’T WE BE THE WAY WE USED TO BE BACK THEN, 
OH YOU KNOW WE GOT A PROBLEM AND IT DIDN’T START TODAY
BUT IT GOTTA END 
CAUSE I DON’T WANT TO GO

If everybody knows you and I we ain’t doing very well
Maybe we should talk baby maybe should try not yell
We can work it out baby we can’t keep on living in hell
I don’t wanna do goodbye!

NO I DON’T WANNA HAVE AN ARGUMENT AGAIN
WHY CAN’T WE BE THE WAY WE USED TO BE BACK THEN, OH YOU KNOW
WE GOT A PROBLEM AND IT DIDN’T START TODAY
BUT IT GOTTA END CAUSE I DON’T WANT TO GO
NO I DON’T WANNA HAVE AN ARGUMENT AGAIN
WHY CAN’T WE BE THE WAY WE USED TO BE BACK THEN, OH YOU KNOW
WE GOT A PROBLEM AND IT DIDN’T START TODAY
BUT IT GOTTA END CAUSE I DON’T WANT TO GO
