It Will Be Alright

I’m a lonely father, why should I bother to find someone new
I’ll just crash and burn, never getting my turn as half of a two
I just need a little more time to get this right
It’ll all be alright
I just need a little more time to get this right
It’ll all be alright
No one knows this sorrow, of the straight and narrow of an empty house
It’s so amazing how things can go from good to worse
I just need a little more time to get this right
It’ll all be alright
I just need a little more time to get this right
It’ll all be alright
She’s been hurting
I’ve been searching
Maybe we can save each other
Maybe we can save each other
I just need a little more
Time
I just need a little more time to get this right
It’ll all be alright
I just need a little more time to get this right
It’ll all be alright

Am I Safe

It’s been a long year
Well I could use some rest
I’ve just been going and trying just to stay afloat
The lights are out
There’s nothing to do
I wish I could find a new place to go with you
I’m alone in my head
But I’m not alone with you right here
Am I safe
Am I safe in this place with you
Am I safe
Am I safe with you in this place
It’s dark outside
But the candles help us see
They help us see everything in between
The spaces we leave
The silences we speak
I wish I could find some new words to say to you
I’m alone in my head
But I’m not alone with you right here
Am I safe
Am I safe in this place with you
Am I safe
Am I safe with you in this place
With you in this place
It’s not about if you’re here but if you’ll stay
Will you stay
Am I safe
Am I safe
Am I safe in this place with you
Am I safe
Am I safe with you in this place
With you in this place
With you in this place

Just One Night

She was moving around
Under the bright lights
I just watched from the bar
Her hair was long and red
And sticky from the sweat
She was in my bed
The things we did
Would seem unfit
To tell anyone else
Could there be
More than this
We stood at the bar
All we did was talk
I think I went too far
We moved with the beats
In between my sheets
It was the heat between us
The things we did
We couldn’t seem to quit
But who’s to say we did
Could there be
More to this
It was just one night
Just one night
It was just one night
Just one night
It was just one night
Just one night
It was just one night
Just one night
Gone when I woke up
There was no goodbye
I was all alone
Now they’re all for me
Every song she sings
She’d probably disagree
The things we did
We'd reminisce
But she’ll forget that I exist
Could there be
More to this
It was just one night
Just one night
It was just one night
Just one night
It was just one night
Just one night
It was just one night
Just one night

Wait & See
04:35
|
|||
|
It's better to admit you're wrong
To get up and fight
And give before you receive
You just gotta wait and see
The Earth keeps on spinning
Even if you want to die
There’s going to be bad days
Yea, we’re all going to die
Bad times can get worse
You just gotta wait and see
There are truths we know
And there are truths that unfold
You just gotta wait and see
You just gotta wait and see
Friends don't last forever
Loving someone is hard
And It's better to surrender
You just gotta wait and see
Time won’t make this better
But space will help
The more you hold
Means the less you keep
Broken hearts don’t always mend
You just gotta wait and see
There are truths we know
And there are truths that unfold
You just gotta wait and see
You just gotta wait and see
And you can’t see
All the things you don’t want to believe
To believe
There are truths we know
And there are truths that unfold
You just gotta wait and see
You just gotta wait and see
You just gotta wait and see
You just gotta wait and see

Sweet Surrender

Lower your flag, surrender your ship
There’s no use in protesting your fall
We fought our battles to lose our wars
And drowned your reasons all the more
Have your last bout in the ring
It’ll never amount to anything
Sweet surrender
You lost the battle, you lost the war
Sweet surrender
You lost your power, you lost your pride
Good fortune laughs at our misery
You think you’re safe with injury
The quietest capture you can imagine
Did little to save our tiny truce
Was it worth all this trouble
Did your truth burst like a bubble
Sweet surrender
You lost the battle, you lost the war
Sweet surrender
You lost your power, you lost your pride
Did you fight all your wars
Did you settle all of your scores
Sweet surrender
You lost the battle, you lost the war
Sweet surrender
You lost your power, you lost your pride
Sweet surrender
You lost the battle, you lost the war
Sweet surrender
You lost your power, you lost your pride

Good Night, Baby

It’s been a long time
Since this bed's been warm
And it’s been years
Since someone told me goodnight
It’s time to close your eyes
And get some rest
Lay down your head
It’s time for bed
Good night, baby
Baby, good night
It’s been awhile
Since my last kiss good night
And it’s been years
Since I’ve shared these covers
It’s time to close your eyes
And get some rest
Lay down your head
It’s time for bed
Good night, baby
Baby, good night
I know for every nightmare
There’s a dream come true
I know for every let down
There’s a new rescue
It’s time to close your eyes
And get some rest
Lay down your head
It’s time for bed
Good night, baby
Baby, good night
Good night, baby
Baby, good night
