Take the highway to the old well
Find a memory you can tell yourself
How you drew up water for your thirst to quell
And how you laughed until you almost fell

Things may seem different now
You may not know just why or how 
Hold onto the things
That always stay

You left this town some fourteen years ago 
It tries to be different but it’s the same
It warms up your heart that’s grown cold
It’s good see people who know your name

Things may seem different now
You may not know just why or how 
Hold onto the things
That always stay

Remember when you boarded your first plane
To seek your life of fortune and fame
You had to leave the place you grew up in 
Then return to try and start again

Things may seem different now
You may not know just why or how 
Hold onto the things
That always stay
And be sure not to forget
Those who have never left
They’ll be there to remind you 
Of yourself

The Things That Always Stay(iPhone Demo)

Always thought my best could save me
I’ve learned now that’s not enough
Your death provided more than sympathy
An act of furious love

You don’t want to leave me where I am
You know who I can be
You don’t want to leave me caught in a jam
You’re here to set me free

I just have to trust
That you’re here for me
I cannot give up
Now that I can see

Never thought I’d be dependent
On someone like you
Now that I’m headfirst in it
I wanna see this through

Chorus

You gave me a reason to hold onto you
You gave me a reason to hold onto you
You gave me a reason to hold on to
And I know
That it’s  true

Now That I Can See

Righteousness 
The gift I cannot own
Until I fall down
Humble before your throne

Cover me with blood
Poured out for man
And the Grace that comes
From nail-pierced hands

And the only thing I can 
Do is nothing
I can save myself with nothing 
That may hurt my pride
But my pride is why you died
I throw my hands up
In acceptance 

I know I must first
Acknowledge 
All these awful things 
That I did

I’ve been lying dead
All these years
But you raise me 
To life right now
Right here

And the only thing I can 
Do is nothing
I can save myself with nothing 
That may hurt my pride
But my pride is why you died
I throw my hands up
In acceptance 
I throw my hands up
In acceptance 
I throw my hands up
I’m accepted

Throw My Hands Up

Just a lonely day of make believe 
Perfect combination of broken dreams 
Just another stroll down dead end streets 
Everything that we had has turned to ash 
How it hurts you like hell to forget our past 
Good things they never seem to last 

You can’t make me love you 
You can’t make me stay 
You can’t make me love you

Whoa you won’t take my name
It’s the only thing I have 
Whoa you walk away in shame 
Back down that broken path 

October skies turn crimson red
Loneliness is a fear I no longer dread 
Apologies mean nothing when forgiveness is dead
Walking on thin ice that is bound to break 
Drowning in the depths of a shoreless lake
I’m blazing a trail you couldn’t possibly trace


You could’ve had me 

The night will fade and the sun will rise 
True love should never compromise 
Count it all as lost when sincerity dies 
You’re so sick now they won’t find a cure 
Everything in your heart says you must endure 
But as for me I’m entirely sure

October Skies (acoustic)
