At first I didn't know how to say,
How to spit it out and give it away,
I've gotten used to this armor, I'm strong like my father
and I was taught to be brave
I was told that the boys
who fight with their fists
only do so to prove that their egos exist
but oh how my luck goes, there's blood on my knuckles
and that innocence will be missed
That innocence will be missed.
And time eats away your beliefs
and these shallow waters turn deep
When I see all my friends going out yet again
and we drink till our hearts fall asleep
Well sometimes that's enough for the night
There's just one life, man let's live it right
We'll sing out the old songs we've known since we were young
and we'll turn our dark into light
We'll turn our dark into light.
He knew that she wouldn't deny.
And she said yes but didn't know why.
They tied the knot and her loose ends forgotten
I wish only the best to you both
I've seen true love and known what I've missed
I've seen two lovers tear it to bits
They say better to have lost, well now I know the cost
and that innocence will be missed
That innocence will be missed.

walk tall
Oh how I need her
She's so pretty like her momma was
Yea I'm content here,
But I wonder how we're gonna love
and will it be enough
Cause your bones poke out no matter what you eat
Watching you look for your glasses
I pretend that I'm asleep
Can you tell me now...
When did I know ya last
Where are we going baby?
Cause you said all that
But you aint said it lately
I learned it all the hard way
I made every mistake in my day
Yea the monsters tried to pull me under
But what doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger
and I wish I tried a little harder
maybe set my sights a little higher
She twists like a ballerina, Hallelujah Hallelujah
When did I know ya last
Where are we going baby?
Cause you said all that
But you aint said it lately
I heard you walk talk stand up strong
Keep your feet moving and ya, go along
If you feel like quitting well you toughen up song
Walk tall stand up strong, come on.
When did I know ya last
Where are we going baby?
Cause you said all that
But you aint said it lately

I don't want to say You're wrong,
I always said I'd get along but
My friend we're coming to a head now
Who the hell's gonna back down
Just want to roll with the good times
Those were always words of mine
But the truth is that I'd
Rather be right than say I'm sorry
Hell, I'd rather be wrong too
Than admit that to you
I Want to be the best friend that I can
I Don't wanna be taken advantage of
And that's why Iiiii
I'm gonna be on time
That's why I'm gonna try,
Try to be on time.
You Wouldn't be the first to say I'm wrong
Been looking for the worst all along
But Never lookin back won't make you strong
I'd like to be more than my own ghost,
Gonna buckle down do what I'm supposed to.
But man god damn I feel like I've been
Spit out and went out the way I came in, started all over again
I been hanging on waiting on nothing much all along
Playing out that same tired song,
But can you tell me
Who the hell are you this is my home too,
I just want to forgive and forget but you ain't apologized yet.
Is it coming down the line?
Or are we way past that
Well no matter, cause I'm gonna be on time
Cause I wanna call you a friend of mine
My brother Caleb, never gave up, man I'm so proud of how you came up
No matter what they say, or what they do,
I'm gonna be right there for you
To Alexander I remember, you coming home every winter. making momma smile just to you at the door
And to Martin James, I'd like to say, I hope you find joy in every day,
and thank god for what he have
Cause I, I'm gonna try to be on time
Cause I know there's love in this life of mine

Only One

The morning sun I see, climbing the horizon, I am waking up in sleep, rub my tired eyes all this could still be just a dream, when I wake and see you lying right there next to me, right next to me.
The sun is giving heat, stretching up the sidewalk I will let you stay asleep, put my suit on quiet and I am not ready to leave,
Watch you for a moment while you dream a dream and I believe
You are the only one
My only one
I know for sure you are the only one
My only one
My every, my only one
This will soon be gone,
you are like the wind
no you cannot be held for long
Before you move again
I will remember in a song,
how it felt to hold you in my arms
That whisper on the breeze
That is how ill hear you
in the swaying of the trees,
know that I am near you
feel it glide across the sea,
draw my sails upon your smiling eyes
And I'll know you were the only one
My only one.
Knew all along you'd be the only one
My only one.
My every, my only.

Runaway Pt. 1

I saw one blue thread hanging loose from the sky.
A thread bright blue, baby blue like your eye.
So I pulled and let it out, let it all out
And the sun was bleeding red and burning down,
burn it all down
My Runaway.
Are you somewhere, heading out
On the path, the rest of your life
Leaving footprints in the clouds
You don't fall but you know that you might
And there you were with your heart in your hands
like world at the end of a string
I fell to my feet, I could not believe
My Runaway
She'd never stay
This drum in my chest
Is pounding like the rain
Since you came
I hear it louder now
You're beating in my veins
Kelly green
When did the page turn into flame
When did your words become your grave, I know you tried, I know you tried
I'll walk across the empty lake
I'll leave a desert in my wake
Until I find until I find…
This voice in my head
It sings for only you
If you only knew
I hear it louder now
A rising tide so blue
If you only knew
I saw one blue thread hanging loose from the sky.
A thread bright blue, baby blue like your eye.
This became more than I could have known
And when I look back that memory will be gold
and we'll lie. Lie. Like our lives depends,
I'll let you go, my Runaway.
