Box Elder Demo

Maybe it was the day that I thought you'd show up
Maybe it was the way I thought I did enough
Now it’s hard to say the way things will end up
Cause I know the timing's tough

You're gone to California
But you never left my mind
And when I go looking for you
I only waste my time

Maybe it was the day that I let you walk by
Maybe it was the way I thought you wouldn't mind
Now it’s hard to say if we will ever find
What seems so far behind

You're gone to California
But you never left my mind
And when I go looking for you
I only waste my time

My memories they chase the past
So ignore your fears break through the glass
I'm convinced that we will last

You're gone to California
But you never left my mind
And when I go looking for you
I only waste my time

You never left my mind

California

She loves like her mother, she’s patient and kind
Always thinks of the other, she taking their side  
And i can’t understand why she’s taken by me
But i won’t disagree

She sure like her father, faithful and true
She reads like no other its a disciplined view,
And I’m trying to keep up as shes taking the lead
But i tend to recede

Still im taking my time
And i’m trying to hide
That i’m terrified and i won’t know

She's strong like her brother, she dont take no shit
She’s warm like her sister, she's my favorite friend
There's a comfort she brings with the silence we keep
Oh what a dream

Still im taking my time
And i’m trying to hide
That i’m terrified that I won’t know

It's not that i don’t think that we can’t make it
Still it's doubt that drives the fear that keeps me shaken
But she‘s know that i could never live without

Still im taking my time
And i’m trying to find
The peace of mind
In being sure

Taking My Time

Ferris wheel goes ‘round like cogs inside my head
There’s letters lost and found with words I wished I’d said
I wanna hear the sound “I want you next to me”
How my world stays round is still a mystery

I wanna waste away my day with you
There’s nothing I would rather do
I wanna waste away my time with you
There’s nothing I would choose to do

In a field of maize I’m lost with no way out
I cannot keep the pace but I know beyond a doubt
Your lips my favorite taste and I don’t want to forget
My minds in a haste for miles my one regret

I wanna waste away my day with you
There’s nothing I would rather do
I wanna waste away my time with you
There’s nothing I would choose to do

So let’s be still, ignore the distances that we can’t fill
So let’s get lost, I don’t mind the wait you’re worth the cost

I wanna waste away my day with you
There’s nothing I would rather do
I wanna waste away my time with you
There’s nothing I would choose to do

Wasting Time

I’m the master of bad ideas
But this one’s not
I understand all your reservation
We won’t get caught

Only time will tell
So go and cast your spell

Climb the rooftop
Come sit by my side
We’ll find the things
That seem to run and hide

Don’t be scared to fall
Underneath it all

Trying hard to be the same
Will never let you find what you’re like
Digging through all the pain
Will show you what you keep hiding  inside

Don’t be scared to fall
Underneath it all
Cause only time will tell
So go and cast your spell

Time Will Tell

You burn like the sun in the desert sky
I can’t turn and run, there nowhere to hide

But I still want you
I still need you
I still want you but you are
My shooting star

There’s a part of me that can’t let go
But still I can see you’re my fools’ man gold

But I still want you
I still need you
I still want you but you are
My shooting star

Even if the skies turn to grey
Even if the clouds brought the rain
There’s no amount of downpour that could come down
And wash me, cleanse me and make me forget

You haunt like the moon on a deep blue night
When I think of you, I die inside

But I still want you
I still need you
I still want you but you are
My shooting star
