Kids These Days

Hold On

Kickin' da Leaves

[Verse]
Old rooftops breathe the memories slow
Dusty chimneys where the sparrows go
Cobblestones hum
They know my name
The wind tells stories
Never twice the same

[Chorus]
My home town whispers things only hearts can know
The cracks in the pavement
The places I used to go
It sings in shadows
It hums in light
A melody of longing
Soft as night

[Verse 2]
The market square with its fading paint
The echoes of laughter
A sweet constraint
Streetlights flicker like stars in disguise
Holding secrets behind their amber eyes

[Prechorus]
Oh the years can pass
But they don’t erase
The heartbeat hidden in this quiet place

[Chorus]
My home town whispers things only hearts can know
The cracks in the pavement
The places I used to go
It sings in shadows
It hums in light
A melody of longing
Soft as night

[Bridge]
The clock tower ticks in a language old
The trees stand guard
Their roots hold gold
I close my eyes and feel it near
The soul of my town
Forever here

Whispers of Home

I’m too much for you
You ask me what’s wrong
A thousand tiny things
Equal nothing much

If you looked under 
the rug you would find
all the things have been swept there 
you would see the years of 
split milk I have been crying about 

Whose shoulder will I cry upon
when yours has always been so warm 
& where will I lay my head tonight?
It seems this bed was only built for one
Built for one

Can’t live without you
Didn’t know that means
You’d suck all the air
’til I cannot breath

Putting hearts aside 
You’re about to break 
Every promise you ever made to me 
Don’t say to many words 
They would all mean the same thing

Whose shoulder will I cry upon
when yours has always been so warm
& where will I lay my head tonight?
It seems this bed was only built for one
Built for one
