Some things resonate in silence and the truth of the unspoken lingers. When a joint future falls victim to the lost path of the individual, love remains, but still does not return. Hopeful, memories of good lay their silk cloth over the turmoil of darker days. However, a question remains: do you Need Me Now?

LYRICS

Hard to stay sober lately 
Guess I was a little unstable 
All I want is true love baby, don’t you?

You and I danced so pretty
Always high when you’re with me 
Couldn't give more than maybe, won’t you?

I fall out of love 
And can’t let go
Fall out of love 
But don’t know how 
Fall out of love 
Now you’re coming down 
Do you need me now 
Need me now?

Body numb, I can’t feel nothing 
Hit and run until I can feel something
Sorry I never meant to break your heart

Track of time, I can’t keep it 
Promised more, but didn’t see it 
Cut me loose to hide in secrets, don’t you?

If you fall out of love 
And can’t let go 
Fall out of love
But don’t know how
Fall out of love 
And you’re coming down
Do you need me now
Need me now?


I fall out of love 
But can’t let go 
Fall out of love 
And I don’t know how 
Fall out of love 
And I´m coming down 
Do you need me now
Need me now?

Need Me Now

For a While

Old Friends, Brief Ends

In the Wrong Head

‘Out Of The Contempt’ is the crowning Jewel of the album. It’s about making the decision that I want to move on from all the hurt I’d held onto. Even though the outcome didn’t feel resolved, for my health and my wife, it was better to move on and forgive, even if we never got closure.

I think it’s the perfect ending to the album, because it finishes what was a really tough experience on a positive note with tones of redemption.

Lyrics:

What day is it?
And in what month did I open my eyes
Out of the contempt
A haze so thick I don't recognize me

Higher and higher I come
Out of the contempt
Further and further I run
Out of the contempt
Faced with the things that I’ve done
Out of the contempt
Maybe I’ve just overcome the voices calling out

Mmm

Could you resist?
Cease and desist you questioning of it
Caught in the crossfire
Of fear and desire, it's crippling us  

Ahhhs
Higher and higher I come
Out of the contempt
Further and further I run
Out of the contempt
Faced with the things that I’ve done
Out of the contempt
Maybe I’ve just overcome the voices calling out

I wish I could save you 
I wish I could make it right
I wish I could feel it all
Just wish I could stand to fight you
But your power is brooding
It’s testing me through the fire
And I think that I’m moving
I just think we should move on

Higher and higher I come
Out of the contempt
Further and further I run
Out of the contempt
Faced with the things that I’ve done
Out of the contempt
Maybe I’ve just overcome the voices calling out

Ahhhs
Higher and higher I come
Out of the contempt
Faster and faster I run
Out of the contempt
Faced with all of the things that I’ve done
Out of the contempt
Maybe I’ve just overcome the voices
