May you always get found out
May you always hear hard truth from a loving mouth
May you live out all your days between the waters
But seldom safe within the harbors now
I know we cut our world in half
I know we said a couple things that we’d take back
But I’ve been taking out ou r stories from the shadows
Hope your days are greener meadows now
I know that you’re in it
But you’ve got gold between your bones and light inside you
I know that you’re hidden
But you’ve got gold between your bones, let love ignite you
May you have the room to breathe
And always fail to take yourself so seriously
May you find yourself immersed in those who love you
Who always see the greatest of you now
I know that you’re in it
But you’ve got gold between your bones and light inside you
But don’t you stay hidden
But you’ve got gold between your bones, let love ignite you
Like it always used to do, let it all come true for you
When the days stop making sense
May you find a way to face the world again
May the center of your heart refuse to harden
Plant your flowers in the garden now
I know that you’re in it
But you’ve got gold between your bones and light inside you
I know that you’re hidden
But you’ve got gold between your bones, let love ignite you
May the center of your heart refuse to harden
Plant your flowers in the garden now

Hard Won Hope

Wake me up and say good morning
Stir up the light in here
When I can’t tell truth from lying
When all the good roads disappear
All I want to do is see
All I want to do is see me like you see me
Wake me up, pour me out
All the lies I’ve been believing
Tear me down, fix me up
Truth is all that’s worth achieving
I’m a hard won hope
I’m a hard won hope
I can’t see what’s up ahead
All I know is my hands are shaking
But I heard all the words that you said
That the whole is worth the breaking
And all I want to do is see, cause you tell the truth about me
Wake me up, pour me out
All the lies I’ve been believing
Tear me down, fix me up
Truth is all that’s worth achieving
I’m a hard won hope in a tender mind
I don’t know what’s ahead but I know I’ll be fine
I’m a hard won hope in a tender mind
I don’t know what’s ahead but I know I’ll be fine
I know you’re mine
You caught me right when I needed you
You saw me just like I needed you to
You caught me right when I needed you
You saw me just like I needed you to
You caught me right when I needed you the most
Wake me up, pour me out
All the lies I’ve been believing
I’ve been down but I got up
I’ve got all that I’ve been needing
I’m a hard won hope in a tender mind
I don’t know what’s ahead but I know I’ll be fine
I’m a hard won hope in a tender mind
I don’t know what’s ahead but I know I’ll be fine
I know you’re mine

Little Thunder

I’m for you
I am always on your side
We can take this life in stride
If we want to
I’m for you
I hear you rumbling at night
Little Thunder, I don’t mind
If you want to
I don’t care
How many glasses you break
How many missteps you take
How many false starts
I don’t care
How many times it may take
How many promises I have to make
For your heart
I’m for you
You’ve been sleeping on my chest
It’s not long, what we’ve got left
But never fear now
I’m for you
Sing the song your heart knows well
Trust your aim and swing like hell
I can hear now
I don’t care
How many glasses you break
How many missteps you take
How many false starts
I don’t care
How many times it may take
How many promises I have to make
For your heart
Breathe in now
My love, breathe in now
Suddenly your feet are off the ground
Breathe in now
My love, breathe in now
Darling there’s no shame in being found
I don’t care
How many glasses you break
How many missteps you take
How many false starts
I don’t care
How many times it may take
How many promises I have to make
For your heart

One Of Those Places
03:24
|

We unraveled our days
At the table in the far left
All our loves and mistakes
And the good that hadn’t happened yet
The pine needle floorboards
Light on the back porch
Staying out a little late
We were young, kids in love
We were just soaking in it
It’s one of those places you start to miss
As soon as you step inside
It’s one of those places you didn’t know
You needed until tonight
The midnight shine of the neon sign
We’re baptized in the light
Of familiar faces
It’s just one of those places
All the nights we escaped
Casting shadows in the corner booth
We knew them by name
All the spirits who would pass through
We were wine from the water
Dreams for the altar
Stay another round or two
We were young, kids in love
We were just soaking in it
We were just kids taking on water
Hold back the tide, we were golden year daughters
We were just kids taking on water
Hold back the tide, we were golden year daughters
It was one of those places
You pencil in
To the fables inside your mind
One of those places the memories
Still linger from time to time
We were children then
A wild amen
But we still turned out alright
Oh the time it races
But we had one of those places

Love Like That
03:28

What if all our cups and plates they crack
What if you love me and then take it back
Prone to voluntary heart attack
But you don’t love like that
What if I’m alone in crowded room
What if I fall hard and you can’t fall too
Tell me one more time before you head back
That you don’t love like that
I can’t hide it
All the ways you pull light from me
Long way driving
Through the night just to get to me
Can’t stay quiet
All the ways you’re surprising me
I can’t wait to drive you all around my hometown like I was a kid
I found when I’m around you these old heartstrings like unraveling
We’ll walk the coast at night, I don’t hide my shine like I once did
This whole ocean rising, you are quite surprising
Trying to unlearn the things I know
Pulling up the weeds to give the flowers room to grow
I think I feel the weight fall off my back
Cause you don’t love like that

Hallelu

You are seen
Just like you always have been
You’ve got a real bad habit
Of just letting the mirror dim
You are known
Go on and take it slow now
The more that you let go now
The more you’ll find
You’ve gotten in the end
Hallelu
Be patient with yourself
You’ll be fine
The earth learned how to move over time
And anyway you’re mine
I found a secret garden
Where cold tongues and hearts that hardened
Can melt down beneath the warmth of the sun
I found a new position
I laid down my ammunition
And sit calm beneath the warmth of the sun
