Kitchen 04:13
lyrics
buy track
I step out of the kitchen And look over the crowd So casually gathered there Loose conversation everywhere I'm not too sure but I think I came to see you tonight The only empty space A seat right next to you How convenient How obvious How dangerous If I didn't know better I might say this was it If you would take me for a walk Down darkened streets I'd tell you everything You need to know You need to know We talked about things that Strangers don't talk about You said you feel lost I know that feeling well How convenient How obvious How dangerous If I didn't know better I might say this was it If you would take me for a walk Down darkened streets I'd tell you everything You need to know You need to know You need to know If you would let me I would find you

Here to Stay 03:52
lyrics

I sit and watch the street turn dark If you could only see the shadow you stretched across my heart I told myself that it was me But it's you, you see It's you, you see The stars lit up the blackened night Just like the memories of a happy time another life The light I saw in you's grown dim I won't let your fear back in I won't let it in Time to decide How far away You'll leave your pride 'Cause she's here to stay She is hear to stay You think that you're right and I'm wrong That I can't face the truth and I'm stuck here in this all alone But I know something you'll never find You already left it behind You left it behind Time to decide How far away You'll leave your pride 'Cause she's here to stay Time to decide How far away You'll leave your pride 'Cause she's here to stay She is here to stay She is here to stay She is hear to stay

Desperate 04:57
lyrics
buy track
Driving down the valley road Pieces coming into view A veiled attempt to clear my mind Of what this heart is going through If you only knew How desperate I've become for you If you only knew How desperate I've become For you I drive until I reach the shore To stand and look out on the sea The waves churn strong the sand below Just like what you do to me If you only knew How desperate I've become for you If you only knew How desperate I've become For you The clouds rolled in an hour ago And I just showed up at your door All this secrecy is killing me But I keep coming back I keep coming back for more I keep coming back for more If you only knew How desperate I've become for you If you only knew How desperate I've become

Arboretum 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Just another day in the arboretum Taking in the sun with you I still can't help but think where you'd be If you never chose to marry Please excuse me if I'm too forward It's just that after all this time I've never felt so close to someone I've hardly known before now I know that I am not supposed to ask you this To leave behind the life you've known for so long The life you've known for so long It's such a crazy time for both of us And though I've tried I can't refuse This chance with you, you give to me with open arms I do not take it lightly now I know that you are not supposed to ask me this To leave behind the life I've known for so long The life I've known for so long The life we've known for so long We've known for so long The life we've known for so long Just another day in the arboretum I'm with you

Unwind 04:33
lyrics
buy track
Give me something to unwind That gets me feeling back to fine I'm looking to get a little out of line Give me something to unwind A friendly place where I can go Where laughter carries out the door The drinks run free, the company is kind Give me something to unwind There's only so much that can be done ‘Tween the lifting and falling of the sun So pull up a chair, sit next to me And I swear before the end we'll set each other free An ear to bend, a smile to meet A song to hum along and tap my feet A place to dance, a chance to speak my mind Give me something to unwind There's only so much that can be done ‘Tween the lifting and falling of the sun So pull up a chair, sit next to me And I swear before the end we'll set each other free Give me something to unwind That gets me feeling back to fine I'm looking to get a little out of line Give me something to unwind A little comfort in each other we will find Give me something to unwind

Dream of You and Me 05:32
lyrics
buy track
Two years of running away From looking in certain directions Everything can be betrayed Everyone has their confessions Well all of the answers are out there I don't need you to translate for me Listening and lingering here My bare hands will sift through the beauty But I don't, I'm far too concerned With keeping myself busy Afraid of what the silence can do I'd no doubt figure out what just hit me My life depends on not reopening these things In moments of quiet I realize I've lied The inevitable, it looms, and nobody can see When I dream of you and me Well you moved out two months ago Packed up and headed to Portland And I've found the bottom I know Watch the sprinklers chase the grass every morning While the cyclical nature of things Tells me anyone can be forgiven I'm up against my childhood heart Daring me to cross myself broken My life depends on not reopening these things In moments of quiet I realize I've lied The inevitable, it looms, and nobody can see When I dream of you and me I was not born for secondhand love, secondhand love I was not born for secondhand love, secondhand love My life depends on not reopening these things In moments of quiet I realize I've lied The inevitable, it looms, and nobody can see When I dream of you When I dream of you, you, you When I dream of you and me

Cannoli 05:07
lyrics
buy track
I never guessed that you would be mine Cannoli to go and a bottle of wine You gave me a second chance Given the circumstance Our voices echoed ‘till well after dawn Laughter on the wood floor ‘till the wine, it was gone You told me things sweet and true And I had to kiss you Don't think I'll ever be the same after tonight Know I could never walk away again We rose to the sounds of sweet afton and rain Sweet scented birch crept 'neath your windowpane Alone for so long but not now We found each other somehow Don't think I'll ever be the same after tonight Know I could never walk away again The morning has lasted us thousands of days Ever waking wrapped up in your gaze I still come home smiling sometimes With some cannoli and wine Don't think I'll ever be the same after tonight Know I could never walk away again

Cliffs 04:24
lyrics
buy track
Remember the time we hid outside Away from our days and guilty minds Up where the cliffs and shore collide We hid outside All I could think about was you How perfect you looked against the blue A power that matched our love in view There was only you The temperatures were falling The ropes, they weren't secure The depths of me were calling Both called in sick that day, it held true Obsession is hard when love is so new Useless to all things but you Lovesick and true The temperatures were falling The ropes, they weren't secure The depths of me were calling I can't live without you anymore I can't live without you anymore Could've sworn the ocean smiled Wide, commanding faith, and wild Tempting our eyes, we held on tighter The ocean smiled wider The temperatures were falling The ropes, they weren't secure The depths of me we're calling I can't live without you I can't live without you I can't live without you anymore

Fireside 05:48
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes it escapes me Just how much you care But I refuse to live so Blind and unaware Falls the snow like lilies to the ground The fire rages on and we don't make a sound What if I had settled for A lifetime apart Could I go on knowing that Another held your heart Falls the snow like lilies to the ground The fire rages on and we don't make a sound Don't make a sound Everyday I hold my breath Hoping never to awake From this fireside dream called love I pray The Lord will never take You away, you away I pray The Lord will never take You away, you away If we can just lie here while Falls the snow like lilies to the ground The fire rages on and we don't make a sound Falls the snow like lilies to the ground The fire rages on and we don't make a sound Don't make a sound Don't make a sound

Heartbeats 03:55
lyrics
buy track
There are too many things I long To say to you I never thought before that all This could be true of me Whenever you sit near to me I try to just breathe quietly and smile Can't teach my eyes to look away And even when we part you stay a while You stay awhile I'm not supposed to want this The lovely bittersweet of your lips On my cheek, you dared to leave me Wanting more of you All it takes is one embrace The warmth that spreads across my face I hide Sometimes I'm so afraid you'll feel The heartbeats pounding back are real inside Real inside That night you met me for a walk We ended up out by the dock ‘till two Your fingers tracing through the sand I couldn't help reach out my hand, you knew The car ride home alone was hell So long before with you I fell in love
