In the Morning



The leaves are falling, it's in your nature
I'm counting all the sticks left on the ground
Early this morning, when I tried to wake ya
You wasn't making any kind of sound
Why can't you hear me?
Why can't you feel me?
Was there a message that I'm not getting
Do you think that I am lost or am I found?
Just after midnight when I woke up sweating
I was dreaming you were right here with me now
Oh
Why can't you hear me
Why don't you heal me
I am lost
I am lost here
I'm lost here now
So I am nothing if I'm not with you
In the morning, we'll forget this night somehow

Longest Day


I was walking home alone
Late the other night
I couldn't see a single star in the sky
Oh, they must be too high
Shadows dance around me in the dark
Don't stop
This could be the longest day
And the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
There's nowhere left to run
This could be the longest day
And the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
I've nowhere left to run
Was eleven years to change what had been lost
One single shot was fired at what a cost
Oh, at what a cost
This could be the longest day
And the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
There's nowhere left to run
This could be the longest day
And the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
I've nowhere left to run
I wanna run
I better run now
Run
As far as I can
This could be the longest day
And the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
I've nowhere left to run
This could be the longest day
And the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
I've nowhere left to run
I wanna run
I better run now
Run
As far as I can

Presence of God


I can feel the presence of God
Occupying my intentions
In my soul, within my thoughts
And in ways too dreary to mention
These thoughts torment me
They mold and shape me
There's a man that I should be
Or someone I could be
Nothing can break me
Nothing that I see
You can't shake me
You can't take me
So set me free
I can feel the presence of God
In need of my attention
In this room and in your words
In too many ways to mention
These thoughts torment me
They mold and shape me
There's a man that I should be
Or someone I could be
Nothing can break me
Nothing that I see
You can't shake me
You can't take me
So set me free
I can feel the presence of love
Holding my attention
She torments me
Creates and shapes me
There's a man that I should be
Or someone I could be
Nothing can break me
Nothing that I see
You can't shake me
You can't take me
So set me free

Just Try


You came to me with open arms
To take away my fears
I took you in and you stayed a while
You lived with me right here
You told me to believe in something
Something that's true
Like the mountains and the deep blue ocean
So much bigger than you
You said, Just try
Come on, just try
Lord, just try
Just try
Just try
I offered you a place to stay
Somewhere to rest your head
Lord knows I need you here
There was something you said
You'll have to believe in something
Something bigger than you
Like the great wide open spaces
There's religions too
You said, Just try
Come on, just try
Lord, just try
Just try
Just try
You gave me more than I deserve
You gave me peace
You gave me everything I love in this world
And now I have to sleep
Just let me sleep
Just try
Just try
I have to sleep
Just try
Just try

Gone Too Far


I watched you rising
I watched you sleep
I knew you were just like me
Intoxicated
Oh struggling to breathe
I heard you whimpering
In the back room
Gone too far
Too far too soon
I guess it's your time here
That time for you
When it all comes crashing down on you
Yes, I've been praying
Oh, so what else am I supposed to do?
I heard you whispering
In the back room
You've gone too far, too far too soon
You made that mistake now
They were coming for you
You've gone too far
Too far too soon
Now you feel nothing
Life can be cruel
That night I saw you
You passed by my room
I hope you make peace with the man in the moon

Take Me Back Home


The first time you gave me freedom
For the first time I felt free
As long as you were right with me here
There's nothing else that I would need
You take me back there
Take me back home, please
No, I can't go in there
Just take me back home (home), home (home)
Is where I wanna be
I was a fool before I met you
Only fools find it hard to believe
You just might be my only savior
If you are
Then come and save me
If that's true
Come back and save me
You take me back there
Take me back home, please
No, I can't go in there
Just take me back home (home), home (home)
Is where I wanna be
Where all my stumbling misses
And all your wonderful kisses
That's where I want to be
That's just me
You take me back there
Take me back home, please
No, I can't go in there
Just take me back home (home), home (home)
Is where I wanna be
Home (home), home (home)
Is where I wanna be now
Home (home), home (home)
Is where I wanna be
Home (home), home (home)
Is where I wanna be now
Home (home), home (home)
Is where I wanna be
Home (home), home (home)
Is where I wanna be now

Bitterman


There's no tomorrow
Only yesterday
I may have drunk too much
Now I'll have to pay
So how far should I go
Oh that's hard to say
Wild is the sky
That covers you
Long be the night
That comforts you
Dark is the day confronting you
And pushing you
There's a face in the mirror
That I don't understand
See the one that I wear is not who I am
I made up my mind
And I want to stay
Wild is the sky
That covers you
Long be the night
That comforts you
Dark is the day confronting you
And pushing you
You're such a bitter man
Doing all that you can
In the name of fun
Just a bitter man
Taking all that you can
All for number one
There's no confusion
Only black
No questions left to ask
Like, am I coming back?
I made up my mind
And I want to stay
You're such a bitter man
Doing all that you can
In the name of fun
Just a bitter man
Taking all that you can
For the number one
You're such a bitter man
Doing all that you can
All in the name of fun
Just a bitter man
Taking all that you can
All for number one

I Can't Stay


Even as you talk
I can't understand a word
Lips they keep on moving
Telling tired tales
That have all been heard
So many precious days
And all the parts you've played
You've looked so fine
All those days have gone
You tried to get along
But not all
Not all the time
I can't stay
With you in here anymore
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much for sure
I can't stay
Another day in here with you
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much for sure
Spend your days complaining
Doubt puts only in your head
Turning every page in your book of everything
You should have done instead
So many wasted days
And all the parts you've played
It's the same old song
Well I guess it's up to you
I wonder what you'll do
Don't take, don't take too long
I can't stay
With you in here anymore
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much is true
I can't stay
For another day in here with you
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much is true
I can't stay
With you in here anymore
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much for sure
I can't stay
For another day in here with you
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much for sure
I can't stay
With you in here anymore
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much is true
I can't stay
For another day in here with you
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much for sure
I know that much for sure

Take


Take, take all you can
From the life you've been given
And stop making plans
This world is all that you need
You just have to notice
Remember to breathe
There's a price that you pay
With the games that you play with that devil
And you better be sure when you walk through that door before you meddle
Life is so short and you're going to get caught being bought
And the choices you make and the demons you wake must be fought
Take, take all you can
From the life you've been given
And stop making plans
There's a price that you pay
With the games you play with that devil
And you better be sure when you walk through that door before you meddle
The life is so short and you're going to get caught being bought
And the choices you make and the demons you wake must be fought

Tonight


When you're looking for salvation
Better take some time to get your story straight
Are you sure you're ready for forgiveness
You might have left it kind of late
Tonight
No it's never too late
Tonight
No it's never too late
When you're looking for salvation
In another person's life
You better get yourself a witness
You might consider a wife
Tonight, tonight
So listen to what I'm saying
Don't be listening to their fear
You gotta jump into the water sometimes
You gotta risk it all, my dear, my dear
Seems I might be heading for some trouble
You keep listening to their lies
I know you have that nagging sickness sometimes
We can change it all tonight
Tonight, tonight
