Horizon

Trying to get yourself set in motion,
because you’ve been sitting here for so long
in a hesitation to leave this city,
that you could always come back, chin up
I was thinking to be sad, feel some regret, but I don’t think I should
I don’t expect you to feel this way and I wouldn’t want you to
Lonely like I’m dead inside, I want you around
Tell your brother I know what’s right, I want you to thrive
Can’t we leave the door open? Can’t we leave it and see what comes through?
Can’t we see what comes through? Good things on the horizon for you. (x2)
Found a river that meets the ocean, I got a letter I won’t send out with an
explanation of fears unfolding, I said I wish that I was good enough
Lying in your arms you don’t understand how I’d be missing you
Your self centered self doubt pulls me down and I don’t know what to do
Lonely and unsatisfied, I want you around
You’re like no other that comes to mind, I want you to thrive
Can’t we leave the door open? Can’t we leave it and see what comes through?
Can’t we see what comes through? Good things on the horizon for you. (x4)
Good things on the horizon for you. Good things on the horizon for you.

Relay

Left you out, and I feel ashamed
In my careless way, unseen
I rushed to find an end to my disgrace
Now you need space
You don’t see my strength
Relieve me when there’s more to say
We’ll talk (Will we want to?) oooh relay
We’ll talk, (Well why don’t you?) oooh relay (x2)
Haunting me, we’re traumatized
Would you sever ties with me?
I’m hurt and been hurt far too many times
Trust walks the line and when it feels right
I’m waiting here for you to speak your mind
We’ll talk (Will we want to?) oooh relay
We’ll talk, (Well why don’t you?) oooh relay (x2)
Relay, relay, relay, relay, relay, relay

Walk Away

It’s not a choice I can make.
Choose him, choose love, refuse my fate
But how’d we end up this way?
We can only blame ourselves for our mistakes
Every time I’m alone I’m filled with angst
Its too heavy a weight to carry on my own
And it makes me want to walk away from everything I’ve gained but…
I would never walk away, I would never walk away from love.
I would never turn away, I would never turn away from love. (x2)
I want to cry it all out
I’ve loved you since the day we met it’s true
But I don’t know how this can work out
Everything I do might be a mistake
You send me songs and dreams of loss, our situations changed from afar
I have to love you in the only way that still makes explained because…
I would never walk away, I would never walk away from love.
I would never turn away, I would never turn away from love. (x2)
Never turn away from love.
I would never walk away, I would never walk away from love.
I would never turn away, I would never turn away from love. (x2)

It’s not, you’re wrong, interpreting my protection
Nothing kept in plain view
I keep my heart close like cards to read
I choose how you know me privately
You want to pick something ripe
You’re looking for something sweet
Sugar in the bowl, fruit from the tree
But if you taste the truth, there’s poison in the roots
When you take what you took from me (x8)
What is brought forth in the name of love?
Bona fide can’t be right, it’s useless
I keep my heart safe and guaranteed
Everyone’s got something to prove
I have reason to believe, you’re hiding something
Privacy, security, secrets you confess, but what do you expect?
When you take what you took from me (x8)
When you take what you took from me (x4)

Out of my Hands

Why do I look so far ahead? (x3)
It’s out of my hands. It’s out of my hands.
Why do I look so far ahead? (x3)
It’s out of my hands. It’s out of my hands.
It’s out of my hands, it’s out of my hands. (x2)
It’s out of my control, it’s out of my hands (x7)
It’s out of my control, why do I look so far ahead?
Why do I look so far ahead?
Why do I look so far ahead? (x3)
It’s out of my hands. It’s out of my hands.

Slow Burn

You take fire and I’ll take rain (you take fire) (x3)
To be the queen of the slow burn, yeah
I’m going to sneak into your heart, ahh
I can’t see what the future holds
We better keep it in the unknown
I want to keep it all on par
I want to keep it in a jar
I want to see it in the stars
I want to feel it in your arms
It takes time to spark, be airborne
It takes time for embers, slow burn
Staring down at what would collapse
Burning brighter till you notice
If I’m patient and see it through, in a world without a fuse
I want to see the back of the club
I’m not a brand you can consume
It’s not having an audience
I want to spend my time with you
It takes time to spark, be airborne
It takes time for embers, slow burn (x2)
You take fire and I’ll take rain (x17)
You take fire and I’ll take

End of the Road

Driving was just an excuse to listen to her music
I felt so low I thought I was underground
I couldn’t breathe I thought I was underwater
Driving was just an excuse, I had nothing else to do
I fell in and out of love here, the tape grinds and repeats
I mailed three postcards and hope one will reach you
Unseen in my own house, a ghost no one asked me to be
And there I was in the kitchen, feeling empty
I drove to the end of the road, to see where it would go
I drove to no end at all
In the driver’s seat I felt home, in the driver’s seat
