My Father and I

VERSE
Time takes a dive through the tears in my eyes
They tell me my father is dead
He’s lying there silent, but I don’t believe
‘Cause I see him standing instead

I see the times he threw me the ball
The crack of a bat, football in fall
When I hear a voice, I know that it’s him
Teaching me things over again

CHORUS 
My father and I, my father the man
My father will always be there 
My father’s big hand
I know that I’ll shake it again 

VERSE
With yard work complete and his arm around me
He says “Go play, now you’re free”
This vision is true. Consciousness lies
He is much too tall to have died

I see the time he taught me to drive
The feel a’ the wheel, my joy inside
When I hit third gear, still smooth on the clutch
Driving his o-old pickup

CHORUS

BRIDGE
A pull on my line, there’s no better fun
I smell the salt. I am his son
We’re watching a redfish run
My father and I

CHORUS

TAG
In the rippled salt water by a setting sun
We’re still watching that redfish run

My father and I (featuring Tomas Malmberg)

YOU´RE DRIVING ME INSANE

E major 128.10 BPM

(intro)

(verse 1)
I´M WALKING DOWN A LONELY ROAD
THE ROAD OF EMPTY DREAMS
DON´T KNOW WHERE IT GOES
NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS

(chorus)
IT ALL KEEPS ADDING UP
I THINK I´M CRACKING UP
YOURE DRIVING ME INSANE
AND GUESS YOU FEEL THE SAME

(verse 2)
NOW I´M WALKING DOWN THIS LINE
THAT KEEPS ME FROM THE DARK
I DON´T WANT TO CAUSE ANY HARM
BUT IM KNOWN TO MISS THE MARK

(chorus)
IT ALL KEEPS ADDING UP
I THINK I´M CRACKING UP
YOURE DRIVING ME INSANE
AND GUESS YOU FEEL THE SAME

(bridge)
THESE ARE THE LIVES WE ARE WASTING
THIS IS WHAT WE ARE FACING
WERE BEYOND TALKING
I HAVE TO START WALKING

(solo)

(chorus)
IT ALL KEEPS ADDING UP
I THINK I´M CRACKING UP
YOURE DRIVING ME INSANE
AND GUESS YOU FEEL THE SAME

(verse 3)
I CAN DO ALL THAT I WANT
BUT I DON´T REALLY CARE
OR IS IT THAT ? - I DONT KNOW
DO I HAVE THE GUTS TO DARE ?

(chorus)
IT ALL KEEPS ADDING UP
I THINK I´M CRACKING UP
YOURE DRIVING ME INSANE
AND GUESS YOU FEEL THE SAME

(outro)


YOURE DRIVING ME INSANE

Echoes Of You

C Major bpm=122

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I found a note on the window sill
Your hand writing's faded 
but I see it still
The words unravel 
like a quiet storm

[Prechorus]
Did you ever look back
Did you ever feel that

[Chorus]
Echoes of you
In every shadow
Every room
I can't outrun
I can't undo
The echoes of you

[Verse 2]
We chased the sun through a cracked blue sky
Swore we'd never change
Never say goodbye
But time has a way of breaking promises

[Prechorus]
Do you ever stay awake
Do you feel the same ache

[Chorus]
Echoes of you
In every shadow
Every room
I can't outrun
I can't undo
The echoes of you

[Bridge]
I reach for you in midnight dreams
But you're just smoke and static screens
I wake to walls that know your name
Nothing feels quite the same

[Verse 3]
Your favorite song still haunts the air
I play it soft like you're still there
But silence always finds its way back in

[Prechorus]
Do you ever stay awake
Do you feel the same ache

[Chorus]
Echoes of you
In every shadow
Every room
I can't outrun
I can't undo
The echoes of you
