Waiting on the Night

Tonight I’ll be drinking
Somewhere in my mind
It’s the only way I see
To get this right
A distant relative
on my mind
I’ll call them later
There’s something I have to find
I’m waiting on, I’m waiting on, I’m waiting on the night time
The ways that I’m sliding
Seem to work out fine
But the ways that you need me
They scare me sometimes
I wonder if I’m trying
Or just coasting by
Could my life be better?
Maybe, but there’s something I have to try

Be Alright

Held me up, on the ride home, god knows I’m ready for this road to finally end
You keep calling, there’s no change, I’m out here hoping demons in my head will go away
You’re gonna be alright
I’m gonna me alright
tomorrow
pulling up, I wanna write a song, but the days ends again in glowing blue light
same old thing, rattles around, about to lose my patience then you slice right in
So I’ll keep running, far away, as if I had somewhere to go
You’re gonna be alright
I’m gonna me alright
tomorrow

I Wouldn't Change It
03:02

I was standing on moments, I covered my face
Rewriting stories to tell of our fates
I wouldn’t change it
I knew you were right from the start
I just get caught up, looking for songs
But you know my heart
The days may be longer, our skins may be lost
But I trust in the cycles of time that’s star crossed

A Different Animal
04:47

|
When I was young, I called you up to say
I feel I’m moving through a different kind of space
Alive in everything, always fighting for a dream
now that animal has gone away
So I tried to push it all inside
and I forgot the way it felt to be alive
trudging through the scene, like an artist so it seemed
now that animal is terrified
when my heart is beating softly
and I know my time has come
Lay me in the winds of history
Then you’ll see who II’ve become
When I was young, I was a different animal
I could fight with heart, leave it all on the line
I was caught up pretending, almost broke a part of me
now that animal is laughable
when my heart is beating softly
and I know my time has come
Lay me in the winds of history
Then you’ll see who I’ve become
In this moment I forget to pretend
and the walls I built are crumbling
see me standing still, struggling to be real
Now I got nothing to defend
and my heart is beating softly
and I know my time has come
So lay me in the winds of history
Then you’ll see human I’ve become
Now you can see who I’ve become

When I Was a Boy

When I was a boy of 18
Waiting at the table
Taking everything, I called it mine
Owing every favour
Will you wait for me, when it’s all said and done
Will you call my name, when I’m under the gun
I was singing along, I was waiting my turn
Now I’m caught up in the brambles, begging to unlearn
When I was man of 21
Saying I was able
I’d go riding town to town
Singing you a fable
Now I’m a man of 33
Trying to find the balance
Waiting for my chance to prove I’ve changed
I realize I haven’t
Will you wait for me, when it’s all said and done
Will you call my name, when I’m under the gun
I was singing along, I was waiting my turn
Now I’m caught up in the brambles, begging to unlearn
