We Can't Go Wrong

I'm the ghost you've been looking for
My head spent most of last year on my pillow
You forgot me in the end
But there's no looking back again
With all this time spent

Talk is cheap 
And I don't have much to say
I'm so invisible
You won't even see me coming
The strongest thing I've done this year is fall to my knees
Can you see me?

We've been down here
Down here for too long
Far too long
Pull me out
Take me under you wing
This fight won't be the death of me
Where have you been?
Where have I gone?
Can't you see I'm
Growing cold

Can we
Keep safe?
Can we
hold tight?
We'd push another dream away
Before all of life felt warm inside

Can we run away
I would die to see a new face
Good never seems good enough
These days
I'm sorry for the way I've been
Let's take back those years
And try to look away
I'm done with this mess I've made

Keep Safe, Hold Tight

After the snow melts 
I'll make it right
Even if I'm not right next to you
I'll lift the weight from your feet
And light a path closer to me
Just give me something to fight for
My darkest days are behind me
If only you knew

Pollute your air with my secrets and guise
Searching for love by satellite
Your signal was completely scattered
Please only see my true colors

Can we escape?
Help me run and find shelter
The rain crashed down on my shoulders
Before we saw daylight
Over analyze the weight of what I got myself into this time
I won't stop fighting
But carry me to the end
Let me feel you
Crawl a bit closer

We can't keep our eyes closed
And see in the dark
Adjust and focus and find what you're looking for
She will be waiting
And caught off guard
Will words be enough
Or will I keep singing out these thoughts?
Will words be enough
You haven't seen the best of me yet

After The Snow Melts

In the glow of desk lights
And windows
I saw the confidence of my youth
Before hollow routine stole it all away
And misinformed us all 

I'm staring down the end right in the eyes
Time caught on to our simple lives
Chasing down another endless goal
Out of breath before we get the chance to see
The difference that we make

Take me back
And throw on my old hoodie
It kept me warm every fall
Fighting time and breaking hearts
Never felt more right
I've seen these ocean waters
And I may never be back to where we set sail
The blues got a stubborn tie to my heart tonight

We've never driven past this open backroad
Nothing to lose but everything to prove
Is my sympathy bringing life back to these brittle bones?
Are we awake enough to see breakthrough?

What are we searching for that's not at our fingertips?
Rock n roll take me away again
To a distance far between
What is lost and what's been found
Will I see you at the end?

Routine

How much more can you give? 
Go ahead, take my breath 
And don't look back 
My arms hang by my side 
While each swing hits harder than the last 
The return address on these feelings 

Will they find their way to my front door? 
When will we speak a little more honestly? 
I was nowhere to be found 
Eyes reflecting like a lighthouse 
Searching for life in the seas 

Throw out every dead intention 
Why can't you shower me with life tonight? 
Invest our fortunes to the ground below 

Follow through on empty thoughts 
Because you have nothing to lose 
I saw you in the light 
Now your shadow's far from enough 

Will I find you always looking for more 
When will we speak a little more honestly? 
I was nowhere to be found 
Eyes reflecting like a lighthouse 
Searching for life in the seas 

There's still a little light out 
The trail won't be too hard to see 
Maybe you'll twist and turn your way back 
Blink and I'm gone for good 
Compass, direct me 
Someplace warmer 
Teeth sunk in regret 
You're the one I can't forget

Compass

I’ll never see her again 
(You are stuck 
In my head) 
Always caught up in what comes next 
(We think we see the future) 
Are you just a season 
Or a temperature to embrace 

Connect and disconnect 
Is this what it's like 
To be so close 
But worlds away 
Am I lost again? 
Will I find my place? 
I took a piece of you home 
It's slipping through my hands 

Hands tied with you on my mind 
I've lived this before 
Too many times 
Tell me I'm doing fine 
Before I hear a pin drop
Barely scratch the surface 
Let's make time stop 

You saw me for me 
And that's all I could ask for 
There's still time 
If you still need it 
Don't leave me behind 
I want to be where you are 
We can see this through 
I hope you come back around

Connect And Disconnect

It never rains here any more 
But the humidity 
Keeps on rising 
Where is this mountain top 
You speak of? 
Where is this journey 
You dream of? 

Drive me out of reach 
Where your air surrounds me/ With this song inside me 
Collect my thoughts and 
Take me the longest route 

Calm my soul 
Taste the open water 
The salt will never leave my skin 
Another question disappears 
Like the sunburn on my shoulders 
I'll never find the answers I chase 
Stay up with me and wonder 
We can be anything tonight 

Drive me out of reach 
Where your air surrounds me/ With this song inside me 
Collect my thoughts and 
Take me the longest route 
To where I can't be found 

I'm walking out 
I've closed the gate 
I've waited long enough 
For a season to change 
You'll see me now 
Like you never seen before 
Let me find a way 
To search this mountain out 
You are my common ground

Calm My Soul

Waist deep 
Stuck in the earth 
We'll keeping working 
To find worth 
Why are we still 
Going nowhere 
What is there to speak 
If we get there 
You saw me anyway 

Keep/ You kept me singing 
So long, new start 
I'm barely 
holding on/ 
We kept 
Holding on

Lately 
We've seen too much 
We've seen too much to bear 
At once 
Darling 
You're one of a kind 
Maybe one day I'll see 
Through someone else's eyes 

Falling out of touch 
Finally I hit the ground 
Swimming through a mess 
I carved on my own 
Take a step back 
Question everything 

What we had in mind 
And what's on paper 
Where me and you 
Had any clue at all 

We're counting thoughts in our heads 
You burnt out right before my eyes 
We float along like we 
Have a clue 
But stuck somewhere between

Eyes

Take a shot 
With confidence 
Take me home 

Your breath sits and disappears 
Growing colder by the minute 
Disdain for what we once loved 
I never start what can't be finished 
You're seeing what you want to see 
When do we take the leap? 

I can find me falling into place 
It looks different than before 
Pull me out of the water 
Show me something new 
There’s a chance tonight 
Just gaze into my eyes 
I want to see your lights 
Clearer than I’m used to 
We can’t start slowing down 

Winterize the house 
Board up the windows 
Another year goes by 
We roam the same places 
We always stay the same 
We’re inching closer now 

You told me to let go 
Be patient, good is on the way 
Help me sit still 
Life is moving, I can't keep up 
Wait for something new 
Don't give in again 
Go ahead and take the leap 
Go ahead and set me free 

Selfishly I wait 
Desiring more than 
My hands can carry 
Paralyzed before I reach the top 
We never had a place to go anyways 

The gas pedal 
Stuck in the page 
Of a book that told me 
Stay here and wait 

Take a shot 
With confidence 
Take me home
