Abandon

Too many ways
Connecting us all
None of them real
None that I saw
Slave to the earth
Slave to the dirt
Abandon your worth
Abandon your hurt

Northern Lights

Been feeling hardly human
No one can hear my call
And I've been dreaming of this town
Looking for days and days with
Barely a trace at all
But it's too dark to find it now
Forgetting where I come from
I don't need anyone
Who has to tell me they belong
But could you tell me I belong
I'm betting there's a reason
Everything turned out wrong
Well did you know that I was gone
Did you know that I was gone
Paralyzed
Frozen to the bone inside
Laid beneath the northern lights
Dancing overhead
With every golden rumor
Barreling off their tongues
I think I'll call the truth my own
Yeah I'll call the truth my own
And if you'd told me sooner
Maybe this would be done
But really how could I have known
Really how could I have known
Paralyzed
Frozen to the bone inside
Laid beneath the northern lights
Dancing overhead
Sanctified
Chosen to be saved tonight
Ignoring all the sound advice
Waking up instead
Paralyzed
Frozen to the bone inside
Laid beneath the northern lights
Dancing overhead
I never asked you if you cried
But your reaction satisfied
A winter passing overnight

You And I

You and I are coming into view
You and I are gonna make it through
Don't lie, I know you feel it too
Don't lie, about me and you
For tonight we're gonna stay till dawn
Take it right until the sky is blue
Every time I hear your favorite song
Every time I think of me and you

The Rest of My Life
02:56

From the moment I felt
My cold heart beating
In your presence I knew
You were all I needed
Now that the words in my mind
Aren't always as easy to find
If only I could travel through time
Dreaming I never waited
Nor hesitated
Long as I live for the rest of my life
If I'd never seen you
I could lie down easy
A lost emotion is new
I'll escape discreetly
Now that the words in my mind
Aren't always as easy to find
If only I could travel through time
How I wish, I wish I had tried
If only I could travel through time
Dreaming I never waited
Nor hesitated
Long as I live for the rest of my life

I'll Still Take You Home
03:31
|

|
Where was I when I figured it out
Don't recall finding truth in it all
Though I tried, there was never a doubt
I would crash back to earth
Don't write or phone
I'll still take you home
In the night I'd lie awake in your house
Acknowledging every second of it
Humanized by the weight of the drought
Modesty and forgiveness
Don't write or phone
I'll still take you home
Won't find it concerning
When I turn into the person
You couldn't be
You're always searching, always searching
Searching higher, higher than me
Maybe I should've felt what I saw
Never do, you're still one step ahead
Late July before the infinite fall
Unannounced, no expression
Don't write or phone
I'll still take you home
Won't find it concerning
When I turn into the person
You couldn't be
You're always searching, always searching
Searching higher, higher than me
