----------------------------------------------------

For the last few years in slow motion
My ceiling collapsed
‘Cause I felt trapped and tired of holding it up
And holding each other down

So he escaped to back east and I ran west
But I was stuck in my past ‘til you came to get me
And I swore I’d never ever go there again
And I tried to resist but you wouldn’t let me
You just kissed me
It felt like the beginning of once upon a time
	
I know it's love again, and this time I'm falling faster
I had one foot in front of the other, running from the last disaster
Never thought it could catch me again; never thought I would give in
I know it's love again; this time I'm falling faster

We dream the same dreams; we fan the same flames
We drink the same wines and whiskey
We cross the same lines, commit the same crimes
We fall in love at the same speed, and that’s a good sign
That this is the beginning of once upon a time

I know it's love again, and this time I'm falling faster
I had one foot in front of the other, running from the last disaster
Never thought it could catch me again; never thought I would give in
I know it's love again, this time I'm falling faster

This time I’m falling faster than I ever have
This time I’m falling faster than I knew I could

I know it's love again, and this time I'm falling faster
I had one foot in front of the other, running from the last disaster
Never thought it could catch me again; never thought I would give in
I know it's love again, this time I'm falling faster

I know it's love again, and this time I'm falling faster


Falling Faster (feat. Erin Thomas)

THINKING

[ VERSE 1 ]
LET'S MAKE IT CLEAR
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE
THROUGH OUR FRONT DOOR
BECAUSE ONCE MORE
WE ARE PIONEERS
OF A BOLD FRONTIER
ON A NEW SHORE
ON THE GROUND FLOOR

THIS IS OUR HOME
BUT IT’S NOT FOR US ALONE

[ CHORUS ]
WE ARE STRONG WHEN WE GET TOGETHER
IT’S NOT WRONG WHEN WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER
WHEN WE ALL BELONG IT JUST FEELS BETTER
THAT’S THE KIND OF BREAD WE BREAK
THE KIND OF CUP WE’RE DRINKING
OUR FAITH IS TWO THOUSAND YEARS OLD
BUT NOT OUR THINKING
NOT OUR THINKING

[ VERSE 2 ]
SOME CAN FEEL THE TRUTH
SOME HAVE TO THINK IT THROUGH
BUT THERE’S NO DANGER
IN MORE THAN ONE FLAVOR
SO BRING YOUR FAITH WITH YOU
BRING YOUR QUESTIONS TOO
BRING YOUR NEIGHBOR
BRING A STRANGER

THIS IS OUR HOME
BUT IT’S NOT FOR US ALONE

[ CHORUS ]
WE ARE STRONG... [as before]

[ BRIDGE ]
IT’S NOT FOR US ALONE
IT’S NOT FOR US ALONE

[ CHORUS ]
WE ARE STRONG... [as before]

Thinking (feat. Matt Dame and Marcia Ramirez)

"Fifty" -- Happy 50th Anniversary Mr. & Mrs. Milsap!

FIFTY

I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST MET YOU
WASN’T LONG I COULDN'T FORGET YOU
YOUR PRETTY LITTLE SMILE, STRAWBERRY HAIR
PERFUME BLOWING THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN AIR

BETWEEN THE GRAND CANYON AND MANHATTAN
WHO KNOWS WHAT’LL HAPPEN
WE’LL START WITH HALF A PLAN, A FULL TANK OF GAS
WHERE WE’RE GOING WE DON’T HAVE TO GO FAST

Chorus:
WE’LL TAKE OUR TIME ON THE BACK ROADS OF LIFE
I'LL BE YOUR HUSBAND, YOU BE MY WIFE
WE’LL TAKE OUR TIME AND TRY ALL FIVE GEARS
LET'S MAKE THIS RIDE LAST FOR FIFTY YEARS

WE COULD WATCH HOME MOVIES
BUT WE’RE OUT MAKING NEW MEMORIES
HOLIDAYS AND ROAD TRIPS, JUNEBUGS AND SUNFISH
CANDLES, ANOTHER BIRTHDAY WISH

ALL THOSE SUMMER WEEKENDS TOGETHER
PICNICS DOWN BY THE RIVER
MAIN STREET CANDY SHOPS, CHERRY COLA GUMDROPS
SUNNY DAYS AND SOMETIMES RAINDROPS 

Chorus:
WE’LL TAKE OUR TIME ON THE BACK ROADS OF LIFE
I'LL BE YOUR HUSBAND, YOU BE MY WIFE
WE’LL TAKE OUR TIME AND TRY ALL FIVE GEARS
LET'S MAKE THIS RIDE LAST FOR FIFTY YEARS
LET'S MAKE THIS RIDE LAST FOR FIFTY YEARS

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST TOLD YOU
HOW I KNEW I’D WANT TO GROW OLD WITH YOU
NOW WE’VE MADE A LIFE AND WE SHARE THE VIEW
THAT LIFE'S NOT SOMETHING YOU JUST GET THROUGH

Chorus:
WE’LL TAKE OUR TIME ON THE BACK ROADS OF LIFE
LET’S GO THE LONG WAY IF THAT’S ALRIGHT
WE’LL TAKE OUR TIME AND TRY ALL FIVE GEARS
LET'S MAKE THIS RIDE LAST FOR FIFTY YEARS
LET'S MAKE THIS RIDE LAST FOR FIFTY YEARS
