Far Too Gone (Anthem)

It's 2:00AM, I'm finished packing up the van,
The bar is next to empty, and you can barely stand,
I played the songs that build a summer,
I sang the words, not mine but clever,
Through it all will you dissever,
That you're still in my eyes?
We take a ride, I keep the river at my side,
The window is your best friend until I switch to park from drive,
The truck plays discs that you created,
To store the time associated,
With when we thought that we could make it,
Am I still in your eyes?
I get you home and though we both will sleep alone,
In the morning you'll remember what you're far too gone to know,
With Sharpie ink I'll stain your hands,
That things don't always go as planned,
Will five words make you understand,
That you're forever in my eyes?
You remain more beautiful than the day we came to be,
I remain as foolish as the day gone over me.
I always said that music was the way to put strength into my words,
To put strength into anything,
And it's all that I can do to hope and pray,
That this gets to you.

Racing to a Red Light

This highway is winding down, in the mirror the skyline crumbles in the background,
My mind brings old times to the top, I can't leave them all behind,
This car has got to stop.
Her eyes yield something she won't show,
That her countless houses are countless miles from her home,
Intentions she holds in place, under her mascara that's only stealing from her face,
I can't be open to ideas that close this,
Endings like tragedies spawned from that simple kiss.
My heart is racing now, I can't escape your grip,
Pulling me closer, stealing words from my lips.
I'm driving through her intersection, roads converge from four directions,
The yellow light shines past progression, do I stop?
I'll keep her guessing.

Oh, the sun's a sneaky thing, look how it compensates to warm the spin,
It tours the globe just to see its light get through,
But you never saw the sun, you only gave it up and I found you gone,
Darkness yields not a notion of warmth from you.
Something stole you, pulled you in and covered your eyes,
Your anticipation glowing as you took in all their lies,
Something stole you, pulled you in and covered your eyes,
Your familiar tears were flowing to what you you thought were only temporary goodbyes.
Just turn back, didn't you promise something different?
Just turn back, can't you see through all this distance?
Just turn back, you know you promised something different.
This time I'll be you, and I'll drive away from something huge,
I'll run away, I'll burn out this town, start the engine, feel the sound,
This time I'll be you.
Ah, she's a sneaky thing, look how she found me out and she found me into her,
And all that steals the dark from view,
But how she sees me run in the same old way in the same old town,
As I work to turn the sunlight back to you.
Something stole me, pulled me in and covered my eyes,
Sure the future seemed appealing in what's found beyond the light,
Something stole me, pulled me in and covered my eyes,
My familiar thoughts repeating what I knew would soon be permanent goodnights.
I'll turn back, I won't promise something different,
I'll turn back, I can see through all this distance,
I'll turn back, I won't promise something different.
This time I'll be you, and I'll drive away from something huge,
One stroke combustion, I'll chop her down, I'll pull her roots clean from the ground,
This time I'll be you.

These lights bends off this water just as the lights bends off your face,
Recoil every peak and valley as the surface fluctuates,
I press against these fences, they bend but they don't break,
I'm only testing the forensics of the thoughts that just won't fade.
The water's cubic and secure, fences taller than those trees,
It's me and you and the water now, because I can't beat gravity.
Don't stop, you know that you can break me,
You can't quit because time is bound to be on your side tonight,
Eyes drop, you've set ambition burning free,
Two hearts break, there's no way that you could miss reflected light that bright.
Now it's too late, I'll have to make this last longer lying parallel to you until the water wakes,
Now it's too late, 'll have to make this last longer lying parallel to you until the morning breaks.

Blow Me a Holloway
04:43

The nights fall fast like curtains to her stage,
And they're leaving with every claim she's made,
It's all underground, she swears the show doesn't go on,
But time and again her audience proves her wrong,
It's time for the end when the trust proves gone.
When love is misplaced, it's steps aren't easily retraced,
But their fingers point fast at me to blame,
It's a tragic cast, but she insists that she dies last,
So lay quiet let a tragedy unfurl,
But if I play the villain then who takes home the girl?
No damage, the world's still turning isn't it?
Tear me down to attain control,
Tell me I'm illogical,
Say I'm wrong just to keep me close,
I know what's right, but I can't let go.
The only thing that's more perfect than the wind,
Is that after the calm, it comes back again,
To blow me away.
I swear that you'll do better in the latter of September,
And before you know that it's over, you'll be rocking out in October.
