Wild eyed queen of nowhere and mistakes
She’ll do whatever it takes
To free your beast and open the gates
Open the gates
Say your goodbyes, you’ll be flying high and low
She closes her eyes and a coin she throws
Up in the air it spins and soon you’ll know
Soon you’ll know
With her I can never compare
Look at those dancing eyes and her golden hair
You’ll be getting high on only air
Don’t you go, don’t you dare
You call heads for east and tails or west
Blindsided by her beauty you feel blessed
You swim in her blue eyes, I know the rest
I know the rest

Every Day, Every Night
03:16
|

Will you find me hiding behind the red oak tree?
You count so loud, the time is running out
I have already broken all of my rules
Still you’re not looking
Your hands covering your eyes
I will still give you every morning
I will still give you every day and every night
Please don’t close your eyes
Please don’t let it be goodnight
Will you find me hiding behind the blue curtains?
I see you through the frosty glass
With my dreams in my hand
Now the sun is peeking through
With company of strangers
Still you’re not looking
Your thoughts covering your heart
I will still give you every morning
I will still give you every day and every night
Please don’t close your eyes
Please don’t let it be goodnight
How come I always beg for your forgiveness?
When I never did anything wrong.
How come I always follow your ways?
When I like my own
I will still give you every morning
I will still give you every day and every night
Please don’t close your eyes
Please don’t let it be goodnight
Please don’t close your eyes
Please don’t let it be goodnight

Ain't Staying Around
03:37
|
|||
So I‘m packing my suitcase, but what will I bring
And I’m starting to wonder, will you fit in
I’m afraid you’re not there when you’re not around
Will you tear down the corners of my mind?
I heard from the friends I had right from the start
It’s supposed to sting when you’re apart
Empty bottles and hollow eyes,
When they’re gone, you sleep on their side
I’m gonna tell you tonight
That I ain’t staying around
I’m gonna tell you so many times
That I ain’t staying around
Sure sometimes I think of you when you’re not there
But those times are few even though I care
And I cried when I told you the truth
Cause the truth is, my truth is without you
Well, you smiled when I told you I was moving on
And your smile made me cry even more
I never felt ordinary when you’re around
I got carried away now my feet are back on the ground
I’m gonna tell you tonight
That I ain’t staying around
I’m gonna tell you so many times
That I ain’t staying around
I’m gonna tell you tonight
That I ain’t staying around
I’m gonna tell you so many times
That I ain’t staying around
I know you would give me your best day
Just so my bad one would go away
If I could steal tomorrow for us
I would, but I’m afraid it would get lost
I’m gonna tell you tonight
That I ain’t staying around
I’m gonna tell you so many times
That I ain’t staying around
I’m gonna tell you tonight
That I ain’t staying around
I’m gonna tell you so many times
That I ain’t staying around

While the Morning Breaks
05:23
|
|||
I’ve grown tired of all this talk
All the words you throw around will go down with the morning lights
And all the good intentions drift away
I know you once had them but you lost them on the way
All this great expectation
All the ways to do it right
All this talking about it
All this talk about what you might
While the morning breaks.
I’m in the shadow of your ways
I close my eyes
And the sun quickly fades
Looking at the sky
You’re gonna meet a lot on your way
But remember to watch your footsteps
Cause it’s crowded on a sunny day
All this great expectation
All the ways to do it right
All this talking about it
All this talk about what you might
While the morning breaks.
I’m in the shadow of your ways
I close my eyes
And the sun quickly fades
All this talk from all directions
All at once
And the words spin around me in circles
A storm is close
Taking time was never my strong side
If I fall I’m not done
I’ll take the long run
While the morning breaks.
I’m in the shadow of your ways
I close my eyes
And the sun quickly fades
While the morning breaks.
I’m in the shadow of your ways
I close my eyes
And the sun quickly fades

Say Hello To My Friends
03:31
|
|||
I woke up to see Nashville for the first time this morning.
I just jumped on a plane without a warning.
Miss Excitement held my hand when I was boarding
But the plane ride was long and it got boring
I talked to Mr. Regret the rest of the way
He’s been my right hand these days
And when I arrived he gave me a real slap in the face
I got so confused I almost forgot my suitcase
So don’t you worry, I’m not by myself
Say hello to all of my friends
They all give me a lot of help
On the way, on the way
Mr. Heartache also tagged along for the ride
And boy does he bring me some fine lines to write
He keeps reading the love letters I’ve been trying to hide
I told my friends I got rid of them, but I lied
So don’t you worry, I’m not by myself
Say hello to all of my friends
They all give me a lot of help
On the way, on the way
At the local store I met some other guys I know
It was Bud and Miller and I gave them a ride back home
We partied all night long and put on quite a show
Mr. Desire and I danced real tight and slow
So don’t you worry, I’m not by myself
Say hello to all of my friends
They all give me a lot of help
On the way, on the way

Hurry Up
04:08
|
|||
The kettle on the stove whistles
A sad melody
I look out of my window
It’s a good view from here
Hurry up before I’m gone for good
Darling this song is for you
Standing on the lonely
Side of goodbye
I’ve seen the sunrise
Alone too many times
Hurry up before I’m gone for good
Darling this song is for you
Hurry up before I’m gone for good
This song is for you wherever you are

I Know I Love Easily
04:23
|

Darling won’t you take me home
I wanna be with you alone
Darling won’t you take me home
I promise I’ll be good
I went away
To open up my heart again
But when I did
It led me back to you
I know I love easily
But this time it’s true
I know I love easily
But don’t take me for a fool
Buzzed whisper in the summer night
Light kisses and smoky eyes
I know I love easily
But this time its true
I went away
To open up my heart again
But when I did
It led me back to you
I know I love easily
But this time it’s true
I know I love easily
But don’t take me for a fool
I went away
To open up my heart again
But when I did
It led me back to you
I know I love easily
But this time it’s true
I know I love easily
But don’t take me for a fool
Darling won’t you take me home

Keep on Blaming
03:45
|
|||
I blame my mama for my overthinking
But who am I to blame
I blame my boss for my long hours
But I’m the one punching the clock so late
No wonder I’m tired and out of shape
I blame my neighbors cause their hedge is overgrown
But my garden has seen better days
I blame my friends for never calling
But I’m the one calling back a bit to late
I tell their voicemail: I got better things to do anyway
I keep on blaming everyone that I know
I push them further away until I’m on my own
I only got myself to blame
I only got myself to blame
I blame my ex for leaving me behind
I wasn’t pretty without the sun in my eyes
I blame the sad songs when I cry
But I can only fake it for a little while
I know I’m to blame. No one can stand my sight
I keep on blaming everyone that I know
I push them further away until I’m on my own
I only got myself to blame
I only got myself to blame
I keep on blaming everyone that I know
I push them further away until I’m on my own
I only got myself to blame
I only got myself to blame
I only got myself to blame
I only got myself to blame

All the Tears I Cried
03:09
|

I miss the smell of your golden hair
And the silver lines we painted in the air
So you charmed your way back in and the morning after
Mr. Ashamed was by my side it was a disaster!
Don’t try to fake it, I’ll see right through you
Don’t try to fix it, cause I’m not waiting here all blue
And you thought I’d sit at home with my puffy eyes
But they are long gone, like you I’m afraid
With all the tears I cried
All the tears I cried
You’ve made your mistake and sorry just won’t do
Stop feeding me that line that I know isn’t true
You’ve made your bed and I will no longer tag along
Cause now I’m glad that you’re gone
Don’t try to fake it, I’ll see right through you
Don’t try to fix it, cause I’m not waiting here all blue
And you thought I’d sit at home with my puffy eyes
But they are long gone, like you I’m afraid
With all the tears I cried
All the tears I cried
Don’t try to fake it, I’ll see right through you
Don’t try to fix it, cause I’m not waiting here all blue
And you thought I’d sit at home with my puffy eyes
But they are long gone, like you I’m afraid
With all the tears I cried
All the tears I cried

I Got High Hopes
03:21
|
|||
My feet used to fit in the palm of your hand
My first word was the same as from your mouth
Your bandage was sometimes wrapped too tight
I was the first, extension of your high hopes
I got a lot of used to’s
When I explain what I do
I got high hopes
I learned it from you
I got high hopes. I got high hopes
I hope I fit in your shoes
Your hand used to curve over my fingertips
Your hugs gave away the true you
You wrapped me in the finest silk
I was your first. I grew into being second
I got a lot of used to’s
When I explain what I do
I got high hopes
I learned it from you
I got high hopes. I got high hopes
I hope I fit in your shoes
I remember you to be as tall as the houses on our street
I remember you to be as proud as you could be
I don’t know what will come of me when you’re no longer here
Who will people see?
I got a lot of used to’s
When I explain what I do
I got high hopes
I learned it from you
I got a lot of used to’s
When I explain what I do
I got high hopes
I learned it from you
I got high hopes. I got high hopes
I hope I fit in your shoes
