Im Still Here  (Collaboration w/Kristine St. Pierre)

Fine With Wasting Time
words and music by north easton

Verse:
Follow my lead
Look out below
Land on your feet
Ready to let go
And try to find a way to not slow down

Roll up your sleeves, 
Live in the fast world 
Top of the tree
king of the castle
its good to take a look and make it count

Chorus:
Im fine with wasting time
just hanging round today
do my best to find a way
and try to make the best of every minute

Im fine with wasting time
just hanging round today
Look for me inside the smiling face and find me in it
Im fine with wasting time

Verse:
Under the sun 
buried in laughter
Feet on the run
faster and faster
Spin around and round and round and close your eyes

I wanna be like that, you know I know 
I wanna be like that you know I know
I wanna be like that 

Chorus:

Bridge:
Every situation
Leave it all up to imagination
 
You gotta be ready to let your love show
ready to let your heart know
ready to start and let go of the same old day...

Chorus:


Fine with Wasting Time

THE BEST PART
written by North Easton

VERSE:
There's a moment just before the sun goes down
When the light it paints a picture on your face
By the water on the other side of town
We're the only ones around to fill the space

There's a look that you give me
Girl it kills me 
Hits me inside and oh it fills me up
And thats enough for me tonight

CHORUS:
And the best part of finding love is when you fall
And the best part of holding on is letting go. 
And the best part of moving fast is looking back
At the last thing that captured every moment of your heart
You're the best part
You're the best part

VERSE 2:
There's a silence as you smile and just lean in
in the seconds just before i taste your lips
When I can feel your breath dance against my skin
it fills me up again..
Just before we kiss

CHORUS:
And the best part of finding love is when you fall
And the best part of holding on is letting go. 
And the best part of moving fast is looking back
At the last thing that captured every moment of your heart
You're the best part
You're the best part

BRIDGE:
Now I dont mind waiting, waiting
I - I - I 
Dont mind waiting at all

CHORUS x2

The Best Part

COME TO BED
written by North Easton, Ryland Fisher and Joey Ebach
Performed by Joey Ebach

Laying in the dark,
The tickin of the clock gets louder
Wondering where you are
The left side is getting colder by the hour
Perfume on the sheets is faint and fading
I cant fall asleep, I keep on waiting
For your call, So we can talk
Work it out, Come on baby,

CHORUS:
Come to bed, Lay your head on my chest where you belong
So I can Feel your breath on my neck 
Lets Forget what the hell went wrong
I left the light on our front porch
Girl you know your key still works
We ain't over, So come on over,
We can start again, Baby come to bed, Baby come to bed,


V2: (are you missing me...if you are)
Are you laying there awake
are you caught up in the toss and turning
I know it's a little late
but if you got both ends of the candle burning
We can put it out if you say you miss me
It don't matter now, It's all history
Just fall, in my arms
Sleep it off, Come on baby

BR: 
The only thing I need tonight,
Is to have you curled up by my side
Is to see that sleepy smile
Just like you never left

Come To Bed

It Ain’t Real
written by North Easton. 

I used to put on a cape when I was 8
Pretending I could fly around
Get the girl, save the world from the bad guys
All at the speed of sound
Stop a runaway train, walk through flames
Break the chains that held me down
That was then, but this is now

It ain’t real, not unless it feels right 
It ain’t real, not unless it feels right
Everything you see is only make believe
Everything you need is still inside
It ain’t real, not unless it feels right
Not unless it feels right.

I used to lay on the ground late at night
Waiting for a shooting star
Make a list of the wishes that I wanted
Staring up through the dark
I think of where I wanna go
What I wanna be
Who I want to fall in love with me
But that was then, this is now

Chorus:
It ain’t real, not unless it feels right
It ain’t real, not unless it feels right
Everything you see is only make believe
Everything you need is still inside
It ain’t real, not unless it feels right
Not unless it feels right.

Bridge:
I could fall in love like a movie star
I could save the girl then give her my heart
I could wait for the train to hit me 
Stand in the rain while the lightning it strikes me down
I can close my eyes and picture everything in the world go by me
I keep telling myself inside

Chorus:

Everything you see is only make believe
Everything you need is still inside x3
It aint real…it aint real…it aint real, it aint real.

It Aint Real - North Easton

LEMONADE    .    
written by North Easton/Jayne Sachs

She left the front door wide open and I’m feeling the heat       
And the Ac’s broken ain’t got enough weed
Killer for the grass that she walked all over           
Guess I’m the lawn, she’s the lawn mower

Straight to the kitchen, grab myself a glass  
I need an intermission from this pain in my 
Association with a no win situation        
She packed her suitcase but I’m on vacation

Line the bottles up I know what’s going down

My favorite single recipe
3 parts vodka 2 parts guilt free 
One shot of crown cuz I ain’t her King     
And just the right amount of hurt and suffering
Top it off with grenadine
Drop in some cubes on those ice cold memories
Grab the last straw and give it a shake
When things go sour this is how I make my lemonade

She left behind shoes, and pictures of us
Her make-up and a closet full of all kinds of stuff
So I put it in a box, and drag it to the curb   
Then I light it on fire and watch it all burn

Back to the kitchen a man on mission 
The only thing I’m missing is one more fix of

CH

She can keep my truck
And all the money we saved up
All I want is in this cup

My favorite single recipe
3 parts vodka 2 parts guilt free 
One shot of crown cuz I ain’t her King     
And just the right amount of her insanity
Top it off with grenadine
Drop in some cubes on those ice cold memories
Grab the last straw and give it a shake
She can take my heart but she can’t take my lemonade

My lemonade
Maybe I didn’t love her anyway
But I love my lemonade

Lemonade

TOO MANY LET DOWNS
(Christina Meyer, Craig McIvor, North Easton)

Verse:
I aint perfect, i've made mistakes
If I hurt you, I cant change
On the surface, Im a little bit nervous
Bout you walking away
I said that I was sorry
What else can I say
Or is that one too many let downs for you to stay

Chorus:
Oooooh. Too Many Let Downs x2

I didnt listen to what you said
A little too distant in my head
I miss the way you get when we're face to face
I said that I was sorry
What else can I say
Or is that one too many let downs for you to say

Chorus
Oooh. Too many let downs x2

No i can't lose you now
If only I can figure out
Maybe we can work it out somehow

Chorus.

Too Many Let Downs

Tell you what I love about you
(B.Fogelman, I.Boudreau, N.Easton)

We had a one bedroom apartment, on the second floor
It took everything we made
Remember that yellow carpet and that bathroom door 
That never close all the way

We made our plans there at the table
Everywhere we'd go
how we'd spend the rest of our lives
And tho our world has changed a little I still Know
And I've known it all this time

Chorus
Tell you what I love about you 
Tell you what I love about you 
That's gonna take forever, ever, ever, ever x2

Forty chairs out in the garden, near the sycamore
In your white dress beneath the shade
I stare as the music starts
How could I ask for more..then you on this perfect day

Chorus
Tell you what I love about you 
Tell you what I love about you 
That's gonna take forever, ever, ever, ever

Bridge
Somewhere down the road
We both get gray, we both get old
I'm gonna look at you and smile

Chorus
Tell you what I love about you 
Tell you what I love about you 
That's gonna take forever, ever, ever, ever

Tell You What I Love About You - North Easton Bryan Fogelman Ivan Boudreau

Sometimes the Wrong Choice (North Easton and Rosanne Baker Thornley)

What about the little boy who climbs a tree
Just to see if he can reach somewhere near the top
And in his head, the words his father said
careful son the way you live can hit you hard and it may never stop
And he went up and he looked down
and he was high above the ground
He didnt care that way down there Daddy stood strong

Cause he was born for the sky
He said this is where I belong

Sometimes the wrong choice it might get you
Sometimes the wrong choice it might get you
Sometimes the wrong choice it might get you
It might get you, it might get you, it might get you
to where you wanna go, to where you wanna go

And what about that teenage girl who misses school to see the world
Even tho' her teachers say she's bright
She packs a bag, flags down a cab,
Does what she can to start a band
She wants to see her name up there in the lights

And there's the guy who stole the car and drove it hard
And when he crashed everybody said
If you go fast you'll probably die
He said, this road that I'm on...this is where I belong

Chorus:
Sometimes the wrong choice it might get you
Sometimes the wrong choice it might get you
It might get you, it might get you, it might get you
to where you wanna go, to where you wanna go

Bridge:
So what if all it takes 
is for that branch to break
And everything well it comes crashing to the earth below
What if all it takes is something you don't know

And the boy who climbed the tree is flying high on his trapeze
And the girl who got straight A's well she's singing on t.v.
And the guy who burned and crashed is winning trophy's at the track
Thinking back to all that he did wrong
and he says man...i knew it all along
This is where I belong. 

Chorus:
Sometimes the wrong choice it might get you
Sometimes the wrong choice it might get you
It might get you, it might get you, it might get you
to where you wanna go, to where you wanna go x2

Didn't I (North Easton | Rosanne Baker Thornley )RBT|NE)

The wheels go round off we go
We’re on our way down the same old road, where we used to go,
just the two of us driving 
The sun in middle of the afternoon,
All i need’s little bit of me and you,
and the same old road, 
just the two of us smiling.

the wind against your open hand, the look across your face,

D Em C   D  Em  C   D  Em  C   Em  A7  
didn’t I tell l’d take you everywhere you ever wanted,
Didn’t I, tell you I’d show you where the mountains touch the water
Didn’t I promise to find a way that still reminds us 
of the days that are behind us -  Didn’t I

And the clock slows down, and you can my hear you heart,
the only other sound coming from the car,  on the same old road  
Just two of us smiling.
And the clock slows down, and you can my hear you heart,
the only other sound coming from the car,  on the same old road  
Just two of us smiling.

the wind against your open hand, the look across your face,

didn’t I tell l’d take you everywhere you ever wanted,
Didn’t I, tell you I’d show you where the mountains touch the water
Didn’t I promise to find a way that still reminds us 
of the days that are behind us - 
Didn’t I 

Like your favourite song on the radio 
like a runaway kite, that you can’t let go
it’s the devil inside that you kinda wanna get to know, 
It’s the ride of your life,
you got your hand against the wind, and that look still on your face

the wind against your open hand, the look across your face,

didn’t I tell l’d take you everywhere you ever wanted,
Didn’t I, tell you I’d show you where the mountains touch the water
Didn’t I promise to find a way that still reminds us 
of the days that are behind us - 
and that’s where they find us -

Didn’t I   Didn’t I  Didn’t I

Deeper Than The Ink
Music / Lyrics (Rosanne Baker Thornley, North Easton)

He wears “Hope” on the heart side of his chest,
“Nobody’s perfect” on his arm,
He got “Family” in the middle of his back,
and right above it “darkest ‘fore the dawn”.

"You gotta take hold", and "learn how to let go"
Words he carries proudly on his sleeve.

He is, drawn with good intention
Carries more than he can be,
In his search for his salvation,
Are the words to set him free
And the body of his work, is who he is and what he thinks,
There’s a quiet in his face,
He runs deeper than the ink.

“For my brother” written on his side,
“Stay Strong” covering a scar,
On his shoulder “no matter where you hide,
you can run, but not away from who you are”

"You gotta take hold", and "learn how to let go"

He is, drawn with good intention
Carries more than he can be,
In his search for his salvation,
Are the words to set him free
And the body of his work, is who he is and what he thinks,
There’s a quiet in his face,
He runs deeper than the ink.

“Love your ghosts. Hold them close”
It’s everything he feels, without sayin’ ....
Memories fade but never leave ...
Wearing the words that he believes in ...... saying ....

He is, drawn with good intention
Carries more than he can be,
In his search for his salvation,
Are the words to set him free
And the body of his work, is who he is and what he thinks,
There’s a quiet in his face,
He runs deeper than the ink.

Deeper Than The Ink

Verse: 
Somebody does all these cool things in life (nature)
Somebody standing with their shoes off
Looking down at the water from a cliff top
Steps back and wrestles with his second thoughts
What if it all goes wrong

Summer Sun throwing down a spotlight
Here it comes fighting back the terrified
What if it all goes wrong
What if it all goes wrong

On the edge of the world
On the edge of it all

Chorus:
Somebody's gotta live it
Take a breath and jump right in
Somebody's gotta get it
Go someplace that they've never been
Take the risk, Roll the dice, Not get scared, not think twice
Somebody who can see
Somebody like you
or Somebody like me

Somebody's nervous on the front porch
One Kiss, One worth waiting
Heartbeat pounding like a racehorse
What if it all goes wrong

On the edge of the world
On the edge of it all (CHORUS)

Somebodys walking up the church steps
Inside a hundred of their best friends
Limousine is ready for the weekend
THat's when they play our song

Somebody's gotta live it
Take a breath and jump right in
Somebody's gotta get it
Go someplace that they've never been
Take the risk, Roll the dice, Not get scared, not think twice
Somebody who can see
Somebody like you
with Somebody like me.

Nobody Loves You Like I do
(Easton, Leblanc, Yates, McElroy)

I try to love you the best way I can
and there's times when Im just gone too long
HEaven knows I'm not a perfect man
Even now I still get it wrong
I hope you know

Nobody Loves you Like I Do
Even when I'm not beside you
Being Apart, well it don't change my heart
There's nobody in there but you
Nobody Loves you Like I Do

Whenever I get too far from the truth
Or if you feel me slipping away
Just give me that look that brings me right back
Baby that's all you gotta say
i hope you know

CHORUS:
Nobody Loves you Like I Do
Even when I'm not beside you
Being Apart, well it don't change my heart
There's nobody in there but you
Nobody Loves you Like I Do x3

Nobody Loves You Like I Do -

Hurts Like Brand New Shoes
Thornley|Easton

Life hurts like brand new shoes
There’s always a little pain we gotta go through
And if we walk around, then sometime soon
We’ll break em in.

Our feet well they’ll get sore along the way
Might seem harder every single step we take
But we don’t have to try and win (the race)
Just break em in.

After everything, we’ve been through
Maybe me and you...just hurt like brand new shoes 

Life hits hard as a train
When we’re stuck on a track that we can’t change
And the longer we look the other way. 
We keep breakin

After everything, we’ve been through
Maybe me and you...just hurt like brand new shoes 
All we have to, 
All we have to,
Do is tell the truth 

Look what we’ve been through …. 
Maybe me and you ….. just hurt like brand new shoes

V1:  
Here we are awake again
Just pretending to sleep again            
Under the covers, a couple lonely lovers
Just hanging on 

Hanging on to racing thoughts 
So much to say, but we still don’t talk
Silence overtaking if only we had a way          
To make it stop

What about what we had
What about where we’ve been
What about how we’ve touched
And everything, everything we’ve done
What about hangin’ on for love
All it takes is one of us to start it        
Baby what about it 
 
V2 
Here I am remembering
How you’d run into my arms and then   
We’d fall on this bed laughing, oh god I’d die for that to happen
Once again 

CH  

The longer we lay here
Stuck in our heads
The longer we’ll stay here     
Letting a good love die instead     
What if we both turn around and face it  
Stop waiting for the other one to say it      

CH  

What about what we had
What about where we’ve been
What about how we’ve touched
And everything, everything we’ve done
What about hangin’ on for love

What about reaching out
What about leaning in
What about crashing through the quiet 
And tryin’ to find us again  
What about another chance   
All it takes is one of us to start it        
Come on baby why don’t we just start it
Just a little touch it ain’t so hard.. is it
What about it 
What about it

What About It - Sachs/Easton

Theres a pile of coats on a chair by the door
and hole heap of shoes scattered on the floor

and in the kitchen theres a ton of people listening 
to the stories 
they have missed since they've been gone...

A Brothers Hug, A mothers kiss, 
Everybody reminisces bout the things that they have done 
And there ain't nothing like 
the feeling as you realize
That this is love

PRE:G D 

Oh...
We dont got much time
till the music stops
And the night it ends

Oh
When we say goodbye
all my thoughts will be making plans
Of when we meet again


V2
A couple drinks and the board games hit the table
And the talk is fast and long 
And the flashback, laugh track, keeps on playing that
Same old song

When We Meet Again -  North Easton Live

LYRICS

VERSE:
She's in a hurry , Feet through the back door, 
Voices they play out Like nails on a chalkboard
Following Footsteps, down to the bookstore 
Where  she opens her mind, turns the pages inside and sees

Everybody, drinking coffee talking softly
Holding on to the same old things

Every morning, just like a tape recording
always the same, nothing will change till ya

Say what you think right now and

Chorus:
One more reason to change, 
even the same old story, 
Needs a different/another ending sometimes


Down at the busstop, 
Chewing on small talk
under the smile on her face 
she's screaming her head off
She knows whats coming next, 
everyday is like the rest
She never thought that anything could every last forever 
and it wont Till She Sees

Chorus:
One more reason to change, 
even the same old story, 
Needs a different/another ending sometimes

BRIDGE:

And when your tired of turning it off/Playing it out
Close your eyes and rewind
Take a look at it all..right...now and find..

Even the Same old Story needs a different ending

Even the Same Old Story Needs A Different Ending

Walk up the stairs to the top of the tower
Stand on the edge, and talk with the sun
Look on a face as it counts down the hours
The final few seconds have only begun

I shut my eyes hard
I shoot for the stars and 

Fall, straight through the clouds
Race to the ground where you will lie waiting
I fall...faster than rain
And somehow this all seems so small
Without you at all
The harder I fall

Out on the ledge in the cold he stands tremblin
The weight of the world in the back of his mind
The words that you said, he cant stop rememberin
I've played this all out...10,000 times

And he closes his eyes
Touches the sky

Fall, straight through the clouds
Race to the ground where you will lie waiting
I fall...faster than rain
And somehow this all seems so small
Without you at all
The harder I fall

Higher and higher, and higher he climbs
Searching for something, someone he cant find
Higher and higher, and higher he climbs

Fall, straight through the clouds
Race to the ground where you will lie waiting
I fall...faster than rain
And somehow this all seems so small
Without you at all
The harder I fall
