“Thick and Thin”

Verse
I think I’m out of love
Well that’s the last thing that you said
And now I’m left to wander through your head
At least it’s understood that you’d love me if you could
But I’m a little scared of empty words

Chorus
And you said the world is changing
But I wanted thick and thin
I’m so tired of open ended love
And could God with all his wisdom
Still use a love like mine
Or am I out of time
But I’m not backing down

Verse
You left me for a satellite
You left me for the stars
You took the broken pieces of my heart
And now it’s understood
You wouldn’t love me if you could
So what am I to do with all the pain

“The Mercy Ship”

Verse
I wish I was a child again
An open mind an innocence
To dream the things I want to be
To leave it up to me
Now there’s nothing that I can do
To save the love I gave to you
A broken heart and empty hand
A pebble in the sand

Chorus
Well I’ll wait for the mercy ship
Take me far away, far away from this
Where the sky is blue and the wind is swift
Take me home, take me home

Verse
And everybody wants to be
A light in all this misery
A shining beacon in the night
To end a sailors plight
And if you listen carefully
You’ll hear a distant melody
A song of what you mean to me
A song of being free

“Need A Friend”

Verse
I’ve been down every road
I’ve weathered every storm
I’ve been searching for a soul to call my own
To fill the hole
And I reflect on how I’ve changed
As my reflection stays the same
Save the wrinkles on my face
So out of place
And I’m turning gray
And wondering

Chorus
Does anybody need a friend
I could lend a helping hand
For I’ve grown tired of my selfishness
My lack of faith in friends

Verse
But this halo doesn’t fit
This pious cloak does slip
My purity is simply emptiness
I’m merely thin
And wondering

Chorus

Bridge
My towers have fallen down
My armies can’t save me now
With one breath I’ll make amends
For all my sins

“Let Her Go”

Verse
Can’t stop this
Can’t control the things you feel
But I know it’s you
And baby how lovely
How simply wonderful to know
That I feel it too
But I try to hold
Cause I can’t let it go
A heart I can’t control in you

Chorus
Let her go
Let her vanish from your eyes
Let her go
Let the universe decide
Let her go
Leave your emptiness behind
Let her go
Love is always on your side

Verse
Can’t move you
Or make you listen when I cry
It’s not up to you
Can’t change you
Please understand I had to try
It’s not right to do
But I try to hold
Cause I can’t let it go
A heart I can’t control in you

Chorus

Bridge
I had myself a bag of gold
I used my wish to make it coal
And to the fire threw it all away
Today

“Over Blue”

Verse
Thought I was young till I started to die
Thought I knew sorrow then I saw you cry
And I thought about everything that I’ve done
I wish I could take back just one
The day will get cold but there’s always the sun
There’s always the option to heal what you’ve done
So I fell down and wept about who I’ve become
And I laid there until I was done

Chorus
Choosing gray skies over blue

Verse
Thought about leaving without saying goodbye
Thought about ignoring the gift that’s inside
And it turns out I’m weaker than I want to be
Turns out it was easy for me
Darkness is fine when you’re trying to hide
But black is no color when painting your sky
Charming and keen are the ways that I seem
But please don’t be fooled by me

“With You”

Verse
Baby you’re a forest
Baby I’m a spark
Maybe you’ll forget me
Leave me in the dark
Or maybe we’re the same piece of mind
That everybody’s trying to find
I know what you are
But I can’t explain

Chorus
It’s just you’re everything I’m not
And maybe it’s the only thing we’ve got
And even if it’s cold outside
I’ll feel alright with you
And maybe I’d be asking for a lot
But every little smile needs its spot
And even if the sun won’t shine
I’ll feel alright with you

Verse
Cause baby you’re so lovely
And baby I’m so not
Maybe we were breathing
Maybe we forgot
Or maybe we’re the same piece of mind
That everybody’s trying to find
I know what you are
But I can’t explain

Chorus

Bridge
Maybe we were dreaming
Or maybe just believing
That fools find their way

“All I Know”

Verse
Last night I got into a fist fight
I told him he should die
As he went down
And today he got into a cars way
And everybody cries
And I’m not fine

Chorus
And all I know as I’m breaking it down
Is the hurt you give is what keeps coming around

Verse
Two skins and both of them we live in
But I don’t like your shade
You don’t like how I’m made
From your voice
Are not the words of my choice
You can’t believe in one
If I believe in none

Chorus
And all I know as I’m breaking it down
Is the hate you give is what keeps coming around

Verse
Today I saw it all a new way
Pulling in and out
And twisting all about
And you knew
Before I even told you
That nobody’s to blame
Cause we are all the same

Chorus
And all I know as I’m breaking it down
Is the hope you give is what keeps coming around
And all I know as I’m breaking it down
Is the love you give is what keeps coming around

“Love and Tragedy”

Verse
Well she’s so lovely but she’s trying to hide it
And she is weaker than she wants to be
And there’s a poem that she keeps in her pocket that speaks of love and tragedy
And she believes that the stars will inspire
She’s not a fan of the common job
If there’s an answer you know she’s gonna find it in time
She’s never given up

Chorus
And I just wanted to say that you’re beautiful
And I just wanted to say that you’re beautiful that way

Verse
Well she’s convinced that the world is in trouble
That all we need is a little love
She doesn’t like to be giving nothing
She says that she’s gonna make it up
Well she sees hope in the way that we struggle
That everybody’s got a missing link
She’s in no hurry to find her lover
She knows that he’ll be a masterpiece

“It’s Well With My Soul”

Verse
Wounded still
Love is hell
And all is well
With my soul
Nine to five
Dead end drive
But all is fine
With my soul

Chorus
It’s well with my soul

Verse
Hope is gone
Fear is strong
And all is wrong
With my soul
God is dead
The angel said
I bow my head
And sell my soul

“Everything I’ve Done”

Verse
What’s a heart
What’s a soul
A fleeting glimpse
An empty hole
If Jesus comes
I’ll admit I’m scared
Cause there’s no second chances and
I’ve not prepared

Chorus
And there’s no time
To take back everything I’ve done
There’s no good way to right these wrongs
And in my life
I’d like to tell you what I’ve learned
The love you save is love you burn

Verse
What’s in a smile
What’s in a touch
If there is love between us
Baby that’s enough

Chorus
And there’s no time
To take back everything I’ve done
There’s no good way to right these wrongs
And in my life
I’d like to tell you what I’ve learned
The love you get is love you earned

Chorus
And there’s no time
To take back everything I’ve done
There’s no good way to right these wrongs
And in my life
I’d like to tell you what I’ve learned
The love you give will be returned
