Now or Never

Verse 1:
Two long weeks that we won't speak
More like 14 nights with no sleep at all
I got a pocket book that's filled to the brim with letters from you I read every now and then
It keeps me sane when you aren't here
Chorus:
I think it's safe to say
You take my breath away
You've got those big blue eyes
They make me melt inside
The way you hold my hand
Helps me understand
How I've got nothin to worry about
Verse 2:
You actually take my breath away
It's not a metaphor that my words convey
I often find myself day dreaming of you in a glass top igloo as we watch the sky turn green
Just one more sight that we've not seen
Ending:
Say you'll be here forever
Say you'll be here forever
It's either now or never
But I can guarantee I’ll love you forever

490 Days
03:29
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
490 days, still can't find a way
Maybe I'll paint the sky
Light the city with your name
Grow a garden shaped like your face
Stroll Thomas Ave just to retrace
Oh but I still can't find a way
Chorus:
I'm not givin up
Givin up
Givin up
I'm not givin up this time
I can't spend enough
Spend enough
Spend enough
You're always on my mind
Verse 2:
With each day that comes and goes
I'm counting down
And like petals on a rose
They live their lives
Then fall to the ground
This rarity I've found
Is one day closer to coming home
Bridge:
I've failed so many times before
Or so it seems to me
Given up when I could've given more
But there's something about you that makes me stay
|

Hold On
03:44
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Toss your blanket to the side and find your way back home tonight
Your breath it smells like coffee, but so does mine so it won't bother me
Brings back memories of this years eve and Christmas streets
Painted bright in the night with lights for us to see
Breathing in and out in unison
Two hearts begin to beat as one
Chorus:
Hold on
Hold on
It might take a year or two
But I'll always be loving you
Hold on
Hold on
Arms stretched out and open wide
I'll always be by your side
Verse 2:
I found it all surreal it's like my dreams had become real
Fiction pages come to life, no hesitation you or I
Now the city lights don't seem as bright
When they're not reflected by your eyes
Chorus:
Hold on
Hold on
It might take a year or two
But I'll always be loving you
Hold on
Hold on
Arms stretched out and open wide
I'll always be by your side
Bridge:
Breathing in and out in unison
Two hearts begin to beat as one
The city lights don't seem as bright
When they're not reflected by your eyes
The chill in my bones from this air
Is even colder when you're not near
It might take a year or two
But I'll always be loving you
Arms stretched out and open wide
I'll always be by your side

Love & Disaster
04:23
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I can feel it in the air
You’ve got a weight on your chest
I think that it’s best
If you come clean with me
I just wanted truth
Chorus:
I found it so intriguing
hearing the words you're speaking
but your moves don't match your tongue
signs of love and disaster
no fire could burn faster
than when your mouth is the catalyst
Verse 2:
When I look in the rear view
I can’t see where I went wrong
I loved you all along
I just wanted you
I just wanted you
Bridge:
So watch it burn in flames
We'll watch you burn with shame

Letting Go
04:00
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I could've taken your words out of your mouth
before your lips dared to speak
from the broken look i saw in your eyes
The tears running down your cheek
Chorus:
The hardest part is letting go
i love you more than you could know
I would gladly spend all my days
Searching for the words
looking for a way
Verse 2:
She held my hand to comfort me
As my eyes made waves of their own
The pace of my chest made it hard to speak
my heart heavy as a stone
Verse 3:
The road passes fast beneath my chair
Try to lose track of the time
i find my heart missing your care
you find yourself missing mine

Rise & Fall
03:23
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
It's the rise and fall from the start
It's the rise and fall work of art
It's the change in the beat of my heart
I'm here
The shade of blue in your eyes
The one thing that couldn't hide
The times that we tried to deny
So clear
Verse 2:
It's the look of fear in your eyes
It's the voice you tried to deny
It's the still small speaking inside
Brought us here
The season that tangles up
The thought that this might just be us
The drive to let go but never give up hope
Holds us dear
Ending:
Oh i wasn't trying
And I wasn't pushing
My own agenda
The pieces fell into place
Meant to be
Meant to be

Stranded
04:33
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I open up my eyes and
Look around
Feelin quite groggy
My feet hit the ground
It’s a new day
Will things go my way
I can’t wait to see you
It’s been so long
Oh how I’ve missed you since you’ve been gone
You’re coming home
Chorus 1:
I waited for you
How I adore you
You’re coming home
You’re coming home today
Verse 2:
I open up my eyes and
Look around
Please say I was dreaming
And sleeping sound
When you told me
You’re leaving me
Chorus 2:
I came back for you
Like I promised you
I stayed true
But you left me stranded
I came back for what we were
I came back for our love
But it’s gone
And you left me stranded
Verse 3:
Can’t change the past
Can’t change what we’ve done
Time moves so fast
Oh look who we’ve become
It’s a new day
Are things going our way

Grey Skies
03:23
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
The clouds have painted my skies grey
The wind is headed east your way
Maybe it’ll cary this song to you
You know it’s about you
Guess this is life without you
Verse 2:
Do you remember 2 years back
The start of something that was meant to last
Where did we go so wrong
When did we lose our song
Oh yeahhhh
Chorus 1:
You meant everything to me
When the sun would rise
You were the first thing on my mind
Now you want nothing to do with me
you’re moving on
But it is without me
You say you’re moving on
And you’re doing it without me
Bridge:
If you could see me now
You’d see you left me broken hearted
Confused as hell cause you left me
I’m alone
You were the truest love that I have ever known
You were the truest love and you left me all alone
You were the truest love and now i am on my own
Chorus 2:
You meant everything to me
When the sun would rise
You were the first thing on my mind
Now you want nothing to do with me
Seems you’ve moved on
But you’ve done it without me
You say that you’ve moved on
And want nothing to do with me

False Sense of Security
04:10
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Goodbye my dear
It's your wedding day
And I still love you
More than words can say
Chorus 1:
I found love in the perfect way
She gave her’s back and I thought I was safe
I found love and thought it would stay
She took my heart and then threw it away
Verse 2:
To make things worse
He shares my name
Then he came in
And took my joy away
Bridge:
Oh I don’t know if any
Given amount of time
Will be enough to fully get
You off of my mind
The times we shared together
I’ll cherish forever but tonight
I think it is time
To say goodbye
This is goodbye
This is goodbye
Chorus 2:
I found love in the perfect way
She gave her’s back and I thought I was safe
I found love and thought it would stay
She took my heart and then left me one day

Familiar
04:12
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I’m going out west
I’m moving away
The pacific northwest calls my name
I’m kinda over this town
And all of the let downs
It’s brought my way
Pre Chorus:
But that’s not to say
I’m not fond of this place
I’ll always call it my home
But for once in my life
I thought it might be nice
To make my home somewhere else
Chorus:
I want familiar feeling
I want familiar love
I want your arms wrapped around me
I want familiar to stay
But you decided to walk away
Verse 2:
They say you live and you learn
I say you learn and you earn
For something worth more than a feeling
And I’m already thinkin of when I’ll be old
I know the man that’s inside has prolly 60 years time to unfold
Ending:
Who will I be when I’m old
Who will I be when I’m grown
I hope the kid that’s inside me
Never grows old
I hope to find someone special
And be their hand to hold

03:06
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I can't let go
Your face yeah it's stuck in my head
You're gone I know
But I'm caught on the words that you said
Your heart is my home
I don't want to leave it
I don't want to let go
I don't want to believe this but
Chorus:
I'm thinking maybe
I'm better off on my own
Hoping maybe pick up and move right along
Move right along
Right along
Verse 2:
You're far away
Oh how I wish you were here
To hear your voice
As you whisper to me in my ear
I guess I have to admit
What I know
Seems you're not coming back
So
Ending:
So take all the memories
Take all the songs that I wrote
Let them go
Live your new life
I'll be fine on my own
I'll be fine on my own
I'll be fine on my own
I'll be fine on my own

Part of My Past
04:07
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
So many days
Wasted away
Caught up on you
How did I let myself fall for you
It took me so long
To finally move on
As if you would come back
I should've know to never look back
Chorus 1:
You're gone
You're gone
And it's best that you never come back
You're gone
You're gone
And now I'm glad that you're part of my past
Verse 2:
Fading away
Feelings of memories we made
Take the good with the bad
Though short lived it was real what we had
Chorus 2:
You're gone
You're gone
Now all of my frustration has passed
You're gone
You're gone
I wish nothing for you but the best

Untitled
02:03
|
|||
|
Every evening I compose a new
Letter and then seal it tight
Filled with the words that I'd say
If my words could get to you
The lines on the paper convey
How my life unfolded that day
And a photo to show how I've aged
And how many hairs I have greyed
