Hey, I know it’s late, are you awake?
And Hey, I’ll take a chance, not gonna wait…
‘Cause I, I just want to matter to you
And do you, you feel something to?
‘cause I, I want better (than what I had before)
And my, eyes are open
And she said….and she said
She said I know that it's late, and maybe it’s something that I drank
but it’s not crazy, as I’m sitting here now
I just want you know I’m going to take things slow, and just maybe…
I’ve known heartbreak before, I’m not going to open this door, unless its changing
I’m looking for something that stays, I’m not just in it for today
‘cause feeling lately…it’s time to break away
‘Cause I, I want better (than what I had before)
And my, eyes are open
‘cause I, I want better (than what I had before)
And my, eyes are open
Hey, are you awake? I know its late…
And hey, I’ll take a chance, not going to wait

You came at me fast, like tidal wave
Swept me off my feet, flooded all my things
Took away the Earth, for me to stand
So I learned to swim, til l I came to land
I want to soak you up, you can water me down
And watch my spirit float, as my demons drown
You’re the storm I want, and the force I need
Just like a tidal wave, needs the sea
You took down my walls, like a hurricane
Let the light shine in, flood through my veins
With winds so strong, that I can’t defy
But I find peace, within your eye
I wanna build you up, you can tear me down
Because I made my walls, out of bricks of doubt
You’re the storm I want, and the force I need
Just like a hurricane, needs the sea
Woahs and Ohs
La da da da da da
I wanna build you up, you can tear me down
Because I made my walls, out of bricks of doubt
You’re the storm I want, and the force I need
Just like a hurricane, needs the sea
Sometimes I wonder, sometimes I think
I know that I’ll struggle, but will I sink?
When I see your potential, your capability
I brace my body, for calamity!
I wanna pick you up, never put you down
If the sky’s the limit, we’re in the clouds
You’re the storm I want, and the force I need
Just like a tidal wave (and a hurricane) needs the sea!

She’s not perfect, but she’s worth it. There’s nothing wrong
I could spend my life by her side, singing this song
When I think of, of another, my mind turns blank.
Yeah this woman, she’s something that every other girl ain’t
Smooth like water, beauty caught her when she was yojng
Hot like fire, you’re a liar if you say I’m wrong
She’s got eyes as big as the stars, I wanna see them cross my sky
When she smiles she speaks the truth, she makes fools like me wise
When she came to me (2x)
Skin like summer, cocoa and butter, and shines like gold
Watch her hair fall, hear her voice call, makes my blood run cold
Look past her surface, what you’ll witness, can’t grow old
Yeah it’s shining, like a diamond, it’s her beautiful soul!
When she came to me (4x)
I tried drugs, I tried pills, I drank all day
I tried shrinks, I tried thrills, the thought of her never went away
Got locked up, thrown in jail, she made me crack
Yeah this woman, when she takes you heart you’re never getting it back
When she came to me (4x)

I wanna stay just a little longer
I wanna be, I wanna be around
Because it took so long, to find a place like this
I wanna marry you, if I make it through
I had so much doubt when I started out
Not in myself, but I think you all knew
Cause it’s so cold inside, I can’t feel my toes
Will you stand you beside me because I’m scared
I’m so scared...
Hey! You gotta hear what happened today.
The phone just rings and rings
Where did you go? I can still do that trick you showed me
Can see she’s moving on, I wish that for you
It’s much harder than I thought
I hope that I can move on too
Move on too, move on too, move on too
Ooooohhhhhhhhh

Four men on a journey
Not knowing where it would lead
Would it lead to fame, would it lead to shame
Hope it doesn’t lead to greed.
A guitar and a dream, time to hit the road
No matter how crazy it seems
Start to hit to mainstream, do the famous thing
Who cares if they’re acting obscene
A bestselling album, TV shows
The fame starts to take its toll.
Losing touch with all the ones they love
The sadness begins to grow
This fame will make you, this fame will break you
Your moment has already passed
The six string stops producing hits
Attention disappears in a flash…
Does fame really go that fast?
This world keeps spinning round
Can’t tell up from down
This world keeps spinning around
But we’re never gonna slow it down
The media machine says you no longer gleam
They’ve already taken their stance
The writing’s on the wall, it’s time to take your fall
You never really had a chance
You do whatever it takes, but you can’t shake
The fact that you’ve been outgrown
You change your shape, you can’t escape
The fact that you sold your soul…
Soon you’ll be an unknown
This world keeps spinning round
Can’t tell up from down
This world keeps spinning around
But we’re never gonna slow it down
This world keeps spinning round
Can’t tell up from down
This world keeps spinning around
But we’re never gonna slow it down
This world keeps spinning round
Can’t tell up from down anymore
This world keeps spinning around
But we’re not ready to close the door

I never needed anything at all
Everything I thought I wanted was just a distraction
And now the time as come for me to jump
But all I was prepared for was the fall
I put away all my fears and all my follies
Left behind the old ragged man I knew
Took my key my curiosity and my six string
There was only one thing left to do
Just one song to set my spirit free
Just one step and I begin my journey
Just one wing to feel like I can fly
Just one life to live before I die
So slow down and take a look around
Just enjoy the simplicity
If the sky were falling, or the angels were calling
It wouldn’t mean a damn thing to me
Sometime life feels better when you’re living for whatever
And you make the paths you take without a map
And sometimes words or louder when you’re singing on a mountain
And not thinking about when you’re going back
The worlds a little lighter when you leave the past behind ya
Moving on means learning how to love
So take my hand come with me, show me what I’m missing
I don’t need to live for who I was
Just one song to set my spirit free
Just one step and I begin my journey
Just one wing to feel like I can fly
Just one life to live before I die
So slow down and take a look around
Just enjoy the simplicity
If the sky were falling, or the angels were calling
It wouldn’t mean a damn thing to me
I need nothing, I need nothing, I need nothing, I need nothing
They're all distractions, they're all distractions, they're all distractions

Saw her from across the bar
Didn’t think it could be
Pushing on through the crowd
Now I see her seat is empty
Years go by and the tears have dried
If you only knew what you put me through
Left a hole and it’s on my mind
Are you here after all this time
Maybe our paths will cross
Meant to be, here with me
Don’t waste all your time
Am I even on your
All have made mistakes
And time is…
Traveling through the clouds
You’re on the ground, not gonna look down
Time to see what the world will bring
I’m with you free when I’m fast asleep

Welcome, to the eye of the storm
Welcome to the eye of the storm, while you’re here you’re safe from harm
Come on in and leave your cares, ‘cause outside chaos fills the air…
Running away, I’ve had my fill
Looking for a place, where time stands still
We live our lives, so uptight
And then we wonder, why we’re not alright…
Relax your mind, let down your hair
Follow me, I’ll take you there
Trying to, escape the hype
It’s time find, you’re mellow life
Welcome to the eye of the storm
Reach for something new, watch it slip right through
I don’t know what I’m waiting for, try to find that place once more
Welcome to the eye of the storm, while you’re here you’re safe from harm
Come on in, and leave your cares, ‘cause outside fills the air
Welcome to the eye
Welcome to the eye
Welcome to the eye of the storm

It's been four years and now I think that is gone
Finally gone, gone away
I wasted so many lonely tears leaning over the railing
Wasting, wasting away
I took four days or five I'm not really sure
But the ocean air, it made things so clear
My hopes, my thoughts, my mind, they all were free
But to sum it up, I still can't find the words
That's because, I'd already spent all my best words
In a conversation, that no one ever heard
Couldn't help but feel that way
After the long drive
I don't really miss the dive
What did it take for me
To see what I now see
If you had known I was there
Would you have even cared?
Don't really miss the dive...

The trees sway, in the morning light
It's such a calming sight, but I am still here
Will you take me, to where the corn rows grow
Midwest winds blow, 'cuz I can't stay here
There's a cargo train, just down the road
Where noone goes, maybe I could catch a ride
I'd jump inside and head up North, sway back and forth
Start a brand new life
I could sneak right out when the sun comes up
The trees will sway to wish me luck
On my ride...
I've drawn a map, it's somewhat crude
I've packed my clothes, gonna bring some food
On my ride...
But I'm too young, I can't set the date
I can't emancipate, I know it's not the time
Maybe when I'm nine
The trees sway, in the morning light
It's such a calming sight, but I am still here
Will you take me, to where the corn rows grow
Midwest winds blow, 'cuz I can't stay here

Where are you?
What did you do?
The aspens sing your melodies, but the branches wrap their arms around...
You...
The joker takes this life from me
Unbound, yet not free its nothing new
I never knew you’d turn to stone
When Medusa’s in your rear view mirror shell grab you by the bones
Take your time... and dethrone me
I wouldn’t even care
Take my spine and... stone me
Because when your gone theres nothing... there
The phantom of memory strikes my heart
Two minds the same hue but wavelengths apart
I’d rather float alone alone the sea
Then reflect on your flaws I find in me
Take your time... and dethrone me
I wouldn’t even care
Take my spine and... stone me
Because when your gone theres nothing... there
Where are you?
Take your time... and dethrone me
I wouldn’t even care
Take my spine and... stone me
Because when your gone theres nothing... there
Theres nothing... there
Theres nothing... there
Theres nothing
