Could I Be
02:49

Prove me wrong
I’ve carved a groove on the side of this road too long
All of it destroyed behind me, footsteps gone
I’m moving on
Prove me wrong
Show me a reason why it took so long
Write my name in a space where a new start belongs
Give me a place to fall into my arms
CHORUS
Oh, could I
Could I be
Could I be someone for somebody
Even if it came
Down to walking back it wouldn’t be the same
You and I no longer have each other to blame
It’s ok
I watered the wrong seeds
Time and I again
I pulled up the weeds
Where roots had settled in

Can't Go Back
04:02
|

I can’t find the switch
No footsteps in the distance
How can my eyes adjust to this
I’ve run out of patience
It went away too soon
All I have left are shadows
And I fear what remains of you
Will disappear where I cannot follow
I can’t go back
Without you, it’s not home
I can’t go back
But I’ll go forward alone
Are we still family
With so many missing pieces
When all that’s left of me
Are keys to empty houses
It went away too soon
I felt you slip through my fingers
And now I only have the moon
To promise the pain won’t linger
I can’t go back
To a place with no more flowers
I can’t go back
But I can look forward and I’m sure
I can’t go back
It went away too soon
But it won’t all be sorrow
All that’s left of you
Is enough light for tomorrow

Easy
04:35
|

Stop looking my way
It’s hard to keep my composure
I don’t know what to say
Words just seem to get in the way
Stop staring at me if I’m not the one you should choose
It’s cruel to let me count on you
When I have so much to lose
CHORUS
I wanted it to be easy but it seems to me
It’s too much for you to see I was telling the truth
Don’t make it out to be so hard because you believed
Perhaps we were too naive
Still I wanted you
I guess we couldn’t move in the right direction
How can we expect perfection
How long can we stay in one place
Oh wouldn’t it be nice if we could both be bolder
If we could grow old together
Or would this be the last time I see your face
CHORUS
I wanted you
I wanted you
Stop looking my way
It’s hard to keep my composure
I don’t know what to say
Words just seem to get in the way

Settle Down
02:43
|

Why wade in the water when you can jump in all the way deep
Feel yourself going under but you can swim your way to me
It’s a risk but you’re clever unless you just want what comes easily
Well you can take the girl who’s ready to please but you’ll see she’s not the woman who can help you be
Better
This could be something but don’t ask me to settle now
You better open your eyes if you say you wanna settle down
Oooh
Are you hungry for comfort or adventure
Oooh
If you’re ready for me then it’s forever
Why wade in the water when you can jump in all the way deep
Feel yourself going under but you can swim your way to me
It’s a risk but you’re clever unless you just want what comes easily
Well you can take the girl who’s ready to please but you’ll see she’s not the woman who can help you be
Better
This could be something but don’t ask me to settle now
You better open your eyes if you say you wanna settle down
Oooh
Are you hungry for comfort or adventure
Oooh
If you’re ready for me then it’s forever
You said we’d be together
For me you vowed you would do anything
Well I’m not going to hold my breath as I wait for the day you say you’re sorry for letting me believe
So many days I’ve wondered if there’d be an end to our suffering
Now I see you’re promising someone else forever when you said yesterday it was only me
Baby
You said you were gonna come closer now
Maybe
I could have helped you find your way out
Oooh
Are you hungry for comfort or adventure
Oooh
If you’re ready for me then it’s forever

Flickering Light
03:16
|

Turn the page
I just can’t bare to see
What’s written in front of me
I’ll hold the book if you will read the lines
How about a girl, starring in a different story
Where she didn’t know what it was to worry
And she was beautiful and kind
CHORUS
Ooooh think you can turn back time
To fix what cannot be mended
This war isn’t your fight
Oooh think you can make it right
Well it’s already been broken
You cannot see in the night
I’ve got the only flickering light
And her fears left unspoken
She walks through bones left unbroken
Not knowing what waits for her beyond what she can see
All her senses are taken
All of her thoughts to awaken
A hunger that’s bigger than fear wants her to be
CHORUS
Oooh why don’t you step aside
It isn’t your job to end it
It’s my turn to ignite
I’ll make the fire burn so bright

I can’t stand back and just watch you crash and burn
But you have no idea how much this hurts
I can’t tear my eyes away
You wanted to chase the sky
I can’t stop what will happen, even if I tried
I hope she breaks your heart
But I don’t
I want you to take it back but I know you won’t
Tear me open from the inside and go
I wanted to know you so much more
So many ways I would adore you
But you only wanted a cameo
If I knew I’d fall in love
If I knew I’d fall in love
If I knew I’d fall in love
I would have walked away
I see the wall you built between us so you could live with no regret
I already said I would forgive but I don’t know how I can forget
Didn’t we see glimpses of our fire
Now you have to close your eyes to look at her
Ignore that I was the one you desired
We were side by side
Now she’s your world
I hope she breaks your heart
No I don’t
But I do and I don’t and I know you won’t change your mind
Because the longing tastes too good
I wanted you to see me like you did before
When our future was so hopeful and what was in store
Could have been a love we never knew and now we’ll never if it would
If I knew I’d fall in love
If I knew I’d fall in love
If I knew I’d fall in love
I would have walked away
Would it have made a difference if we met before the world disappeared in its cave
Before the wires disconnected from the wave
Would it have made a difference when we met or would I always be too late
Only time will tell the mistake
Can we go back and start again
Close my heart and just pretend we never stood a chance
We could pass each other on the street
Never close enough to feel the heat
And I wouldn’t give you a second glance
If I knew I’d fall in love
If I knew I’d fall in love
If I knew I’d fall in love
I would have walked away

Sailing
04:26
|
|||
Chasing rivers
Following the storms until they wash me out
Lay me down here
I’m sure I’ll be fine
Time to reconsider
Drop in the ocean where it’s far too deep
I don’t know what happens next
I’ll wait for a sign
You’d rather be sailing
You’d rather be sailing
You’d rather be sailing
Here I am, caught in a hurricane
Maybe I’m a cypher buried in a blizzard in a frozen heap
‘Cause I see the way you can’t see me
I was a believer in the kind of love you wouldn’t want to escape
Still you let me slip too far from a cliff to steep
You’d rather be sailing
You’d rather be sailing
You’d rather be sailing
Here I am, caught in a hurricane
You’d rather be sailing
You’d rather be sailing
You’d rather be sailing
Here I am, caught in a hurricane

Sunshine
04:42
|

They never said it would be easy
We always said we would be fine
I never thought we could be so unhappy
But here we are, nowhere to hide
I tried so hard
What of my love I’m capable of
I tried so hard
To be the one, I was never enough
I tried so hard
To deny what I want but I can’t rise
I tried so hard
But you’re still gonna run
I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself
I’m so tired of wishing I was someone else
You can look all you want but there’s no way to know
How deep the garden grows if you refuse to shine a light
Here I thought you were so fearless
I used to think you were kind
But all I’m left with is a promise
That won’t stand the test of time
I tried so hard
But I can’t hold onto the wind or even a kiss
I tried so hard
To believe that a future of us could exist
I tried so hard
To wish all I may, wish all I might
I tried so hard
I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself
I’m so tired of wishing I was someone else
You can look all you want but there’s no way to know
How deep the garden grows if you refuse to shine a light
Let me have some air so I have a chance to survive
Don’t I deserve sunshine
Don’t I deserve sunshine
Don’t I deserve sunshine
Sunshine
Time to watch the garden grow
Time to watch the garden grow
Time to watch the garden grow
Time to watch the garden grow
Time to watch the garden grow

Carry On
06:01
|

We tried so hard to run after
All that was promised we could undo
We fell short with blood in these shackles
And I can’t tell where I am bruised
And now that we’ve lost
We paid the cost
What now
No one can answer
No one can answer
No one can answer
So we carry on
I know that your burden is heavy
But I don’t intend to leave you behind
We can wait until you’re ready
There’s more than we see past the line
And now that we’ve lost
We paid the cost
What now
No one can answer
No one can answer
No one can answer
So we carry on
No one can answer
No one can answer
No one can answer
So we carry on
