Introduction 04:11

I haven't been so captivated in quite a while I've never seen a room light up like the way it does when you smile I haven't met a girl like you in all my years alive Until tonight I wanna get to know you From the inside out Learn more about the things we talked about If this is love Then this is love Let it be I wouldn't wanna die Without ever knowing you Even if we fall apart I wouldn’t want to die Without ever having known you I'm here in the right place At the perfect time I slide next to you And let you speak your mind And I know it gets hard When things fall apart And you're not fine Well neither am I But I'm here And I'm staying And I wanna hear more of what you're saying I wouldn't wanna die Without ever knowing you Even if you break my heart I wouldn't wanna die Without ever having known you I wanna know you for the rest of my days I wanna keep you real close to me And I wouldn't want to die Without ever having known you

Snow 03:27
lyrics

You've been waiting in the snow But I'd never have thought to look up To find you as you’re softly falling all around The curse of what we don't know And a gross lack of sense Is what froze me in my tracks Though it hasn't quite been cold enough for that Our hearts still beat a song We lose track of the rhythm But slowly sway along We'll synchronize We're keeping time I've been expecting snow But I'd never have thought I’d look up And smile as it's softly falling all around The beauty of the unknown And count it as bliss You froze me in my tracks Though our love is far too warm for that Every bit of love Every thought and raw reaction is a snowflake Never the same shape But when my eyes get fixed on yours I know precisely which flakes I want to cover me Sent by heaven's purity from you to this tapestry of broken things God, I hope these words And poorly crafted metaphors Can speak some truth to you So you'll see what you do to me It's the first snow of the winter Though I'm warmer than I've been for quite some time

Heart Spill 00:47
lyrics

Eating and reading And sleeping and dreaming And wishing that you Would come near me and merely Be with me for keeps In my heart in my mind In my soul in my arms Not feeling reluctant To laugh at my charm Just to know you I’m grateful To see you, the same Oh how much your love fills me Compassion compels me I need you to hear me Next time we’re alone

Someday 02:56
lyrics

We gaze at the same moon at night We look at the same stars But that's about all we both can see While staring at this moonlit sky How blissful could it be If as I spend my nights with you in mind You'd be thinking of me? I am anything but sad I'm as far from sad as I am from you Because I know and I have faith That I will someday be your man You sent a song to me one night So we could share the sound Our synchronized worlds began to shake I feel each chord beneath my feet My body resonates You play my heartstrings perfectly Across all of this space I am anything but sad I'm as far from sad as I am from you Because I know and I have faith That you will someday be my man And in my dreams tonight, my love I’ll hear you and you’ll hear me Yeah in my dreams tonight, my love I'll see you and you'll see me You’ll see me You’ll hear me

So Long 03:59
lyrics

Looking back on all the love stories in my life I found a gem I thought you might like It's a tale that doesn't end so well But it's one that I'll never regret I can't forget her now She's still in my head somehow She smiled and said "We'll only be teens for the next few years Let's be young while we know we still can And when you realize don't you be surprised At the red from `my heart in your hands" Oh she's got me right where she wanted me now We had a love that I can never just forget about Subtle glances in the hallways I could swear I'd never seen her before It would be springtime in seven days But I still couldn't speak what I'd been dying to say So I asked my friends "What's her deal? And how could I steal her heart once I've caught her eye?" They blew my cover and told her the truth They did what I wouldn’t do And I'm so glad she didn't mind When she smiled and said "We'll only be teens for the next few years Let's be young while we know we still can And when you realize don't you be surprised At the red from my heart in your hands" Oh she's got me right where she wanted me now We've got a love that we can never just forget about We could have taken our time, darling We could have lost our minds too So we didn’t waste our lives We've only got one chance to get it right I hated to let you go It wasn’t right and but it wasn’t wrong ‘Cause we both had to choose What to keep What to lose And we decided to move on When we said “so long” She said that we'll only be teens for the next few years Let's be young while we know we still can And when you realize don't you be surprised At the red from my heart in your hands Oh and we are right where we want to be now Though we had a love that we can never just forget about I can’t forget about you I can never just forget about you I can’t forget about you I can never just forget you

Twisted Romance 03:47
lyrics
buy track
It seems with one word It all goes awry I feel in my bones What I see in her eyes See her face Break his heart Oh what fragile things we are Or we can be when we’re Caught up in twisted romance Please excuse me for my redundancy Just move me on one course Rather than wandering around the world I've been in a world of trouble 3 months only Even 2 weeks gone Still she’s left an imprint Filled my head with precious memories Of her and me Twist me Shake me Go on and take me I've missed you Across thousands of miles And over 4 million minutes The distance would get shorter And our love would grow forever If only time would have spoken a little sooner There are thoughts that you hide But I can see in your eyes that we're still…

Huddled up next to a heater 14 years old Oh these New England winters Can make you cold From your skin to your marrow This doesn’t feel like home I wish you were near Oh how I wish you were near

Emptiness Between 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Whatever it is between you and me It's an emotional gravity No matter where my mind wanders It always lands on you But how do you captivate me? You're so much more than good memories You are Mercury, my past You are the sun, my future And there's only emptiness between I'm on a journey to a star so bright It illuminates the moon Though I've been so far so long I’ll be so near so soon I'm on a journey to a star so bright All the others disappear Though I'm so far so gone I am so soon so near But how do you captivate me? You're so much more than good memories You are Mercury, my past You are the sun, my future And there's only emptiness between But you're pulling me close with your gravity It's the 3-2 of the countdown The start of the end of the prequel The last few words of the prologue The journey is nearing its end The adventure's about to begin

I Won't Speak 04:43
lyrics

I think I may have found The one that I've been waiting for Oh so many years ago I've tested many waters And I swim with many mermaids But no one can drown me quite like you can though I try to explain But nothing comes out of my mouth Of my words of my mind of my heart It's like I've been locked on you Like the words on my chest are locked on me For so many years I’ve been grounded by fears I'm gonna close my eyes With my hands open wide And pray the love of my life Won't slip away But if I know someday we Forever can be you and me I'll be okay But if these words can’t make their way to your heart Then how can I? I’ve been gone for so long And all I've got is my guitar And my notepad But I don’t have the courage to speak to you Would I let someone I love Fade away so easily? Since I can’t be near Will I disappear from your memory? This mess that is me Couldn't possibly be anything good for you But if you call on me I'll run to you so fast I'll soar But if these words can’t make their way to your heart And if God won’t somehow keep us from being apart And if all this hasn’t meant a thing to you so far Then how can I?

But If I Do... 03:09

I've got no ground beneath my feet But there's no reason to be afraid I've got these lungs, my tongue and teeth But they've got no reason to be When I've not got sense enough To use them to speak My presence lingers in your dreams But I have no reason to be Forget me Forgive me Forget me but don't regret me Still I'll write these songs deflate my lungs And swallow these words that cut my tongue I've got no ground beneath my feet Still there’s no reason to be afraid And I've got my lungs, my tongue and teeth But they've got no reason to be If I don't speak I've got no ground beneath my feet Still there’s no reason to be afraid I've got my lungs, my tongue and teeth But they've got no reason to be If I don't speak My presence lingers when you sleep But I've got no right to haunt your dreams Still I'll write these songs deflate my lungs And spit out these words that cut my tongue I know you’re moving on But I can’t help but think about you If you call on me Then I will run right back to you Forget me Forgive me Forget me but don't regret me Forget me Forgive me

My Way (Our Way?) 04:44
lyrics

You don't ever speak a word to me Unless it's from the bottom of your heart And, love, I hope you couldn't see How torn I was when we were torn apart But if I had it my way Oh the nights wouldn't be so cold If I had it my way You and I would be our home If I had it my way I'd have never left you all alone But it seems this life is not mine It seems this life is not mine Would you bring such woeful songs to be If you’re the best thing that's ever happened to me? Is it better to have loved and left Than never to have left at all? I feel you cry when I call Please, love, don't let me die Without your fingers laced in mine At least one more time One more night You and I sit in a crowded room But all I see is you and I say "Hey, where's my anniversary gift?" And you lift our clasped hands and reply "This is it" And in that moment Every second spent wishing All of the hoping and missing Every sad thought of you And every honest pursuit of love In the wrong direction Melts away And I look down at my younger self and say "You better cherish every second you hold that hand. 'Cause you may never get to feel this way again."

Here's Looking at You, Kid 03:47
lyrics

Move forward from the broken heart Leave it in the past Let go of all the pain Of the love that didn't last Start fresh with your story now It hasn't ended yet You've got more to do With your life than regret She tried to love me well And love me right But I just couldn't be there enough She needed someone by her side When everything was getting rough But I've been gone so far For so very long And I thank God That she found someone So I'll tell myself to... That you didn't fight like hell To be by her side Regret That you couldn't be there Through her darkest of nights Regret That you didn't speak up While you firmly held your peace If you love her like you say you do Then let her go Let her be free to Move forward from the broken heart Leave it in the past And let go of all the pain Of the love that didn't last Keep living out your story now And I'll love you just the same We've got so much more to do Than regret what our lives never became I'm grateful that we got the time we did And I'll always consider you my friend This is not goodbye It's just "The End." This is not goodbye

The Silent Siren 03:41

I'm no Romeo No I'm no fickle soul Rosaline who? Rosaline, you are sorely missed You're not my baggage You're my muse Every word I've written Is soaked in thoughts of you You're the silent siren Calling out to me Begging me to speak now As I forever hold my peace You’ve been knocking I’ve been running away “If you love her let her go” Seven words of guidance I wish I'd never known Can I decide it ‘s her Or no one at all Even if you want me to fall in love again? You’ve been knocking I’ve been running away Love brings action My hundreds of millions of seconds of silence Are proof that it’s more than just courage I lacked It was love ‘Cause love brings action There is no fear in love True love trades fear for boldness And if I don’t have the courage to speak the truth Then I don’t have the courage to love You’ve called me out You’ve opened my eyes Now I’ll open my mouth You’re the shrieking siren Calling out to me Telling me to speak now Or I may never have true peace

Anthem (For Diane) 04:53
lyrics

I look into your eyes And I see Just how precious life can be Believe me when I say You're a blessing Words cannot express How brave You prove to be everyday You're more than worth fighting for You're an inspiration Sometimes it slips my mind That I can only live one day at a time How can I help someone today? ‘Cause I'm fine and it's not a crime To help somebody who's got different problems than mine So what do I have that I can give away? When I'm gone I don't just want to be remembered For the life I lived I want to be remembered For the life I gave I won't walk away And I won’t sit in silence Holding on to what I have to give away I won't walk away No I will not be silent Holding on to what I have to give away today I want my love to be true I wanna give my love to you I won’t sit in silence I’m gonna give my love to you
