Florida

Florida

Run back to the ocean 
To all the lives we lead 
Down the coast of Florida 
Pass the memories to me 

Lovers still the moment 
Driving in the rain 
We could steal forever 
If I could just come home to stay 

And I don't mean to take your time 
When my heart is on the line 

I need you, love, beside me 
I need your eyes in mine 
I try to say it's alright 
But I'm so afraid of lost time 
You tell me you'll be waiting 
But how long will you wait 
Till you don't need me anymore 

Our song and simple story 
Are on the A1A 
But your touch and all your beauty 
Are a thousand miles away 

And I don't mean to waste your life 
Love, my heart is no more mine 

I need you, love, beside me 
I need your eyes in mine 
I try to say it's alright 
But I'm so afraid of lost time 
You tell me you'll be waiting 
But how long will you wait 
Till you don't need me anymore 

I'm not afraid of tomorrow 
If you can give me today 
But if it's too much to ask 
I promise I'll be ok 

I need you, love, beside me 
I need your hand in mine 
I try to say it's alright 
But I'm so afraid of lost time 
You tell me you'll be waiting 
But how long will you wait 
Till you don't need me anymore 

Run back to the ocean 
To all the lives we lead 
Down the coast of Florida 
But if I could just come home 
If I could just come home to stay

Our Winter

Our Winter

Three years so much can change 
Our lives the fates arrange 
Your heart no longer mine 
To take or leave behind 

There's never a question 
And no need for answers 
But we were much simpler 
When this was our winter 

Into the night I drive 
Running from city lights 
You should be here with me 
Then maybe you'd believe 

There's never a question 
And no need for answers 
But we were much simpler 
When this was our winter 

Our love is a room 
Darker than night 
Colder than hate 
But stronger than life 
Crumbling down 
Battered by time 
Ridden with fear 
Infested with lies 

So let's burn it down 
Let's burn it down 
Let's burn it down 
And build it anew 

These years have come and gone 
And still we sing this song 
Of windswept winter nights 
And dreams of other lives 

There's never a question 
And no need for answers 
But we were much simpler 
When this was our winter

Wait

Wait

Shut your bright eyes 
Just drink this down 
Breathe deep black sky 
Painting this town 
Come here, come now 

I'll wait for you 
Somehow I'll wait for you 

Hush, love, don't cry 
I won't let you drown 
In my grave I'll lie 
Till your love I've found 
To your heart I'm bound 

I'll wait for you 
Somehow I'll wait for you 
And now I'll wait for you 
Somehow I'll wait for you 

Tear through the night 
Screaming it loud 
Your name with mine 
No sweeter sound 
Come, love, come now 

I'll wait for you 
Somehow I'll wait for you 
And now I'll wait for you 
Somehow I'll wait for you

December

December

The times I remember are far more than embers of 
Long lost nights in silent December 
When we'd sit there in our childish liturgy 

When the hand I was holding was the hand that was scolding me 
And I let go in the moment you were trembling 
To see if you would get up off the floor 

And I'm in love with the you I knew before 

And in my mind you inscribed every contour of 
Thick disguise that encased your sorrows 
As you whispered, "forever I am yours" 

Then drive I did when your words weren't so welcoming 
And I gave up as the sun was beckoning 
The sky to scream in colors from me you'd torn 

And I'm in love with the you I knew before 
And I don't know if I'll love you anymore 

Soft and sweetly, too discreetly 
Hide me from your loves anew 
Come December I'll remember 
Everything they never knew 

I'm in love with the you I knew before 
And I don't know if I'll love you anymore 
Cause I'm in love with the you I knew before 
And I don't know if I'll love you anymore 

Waste, don't waste my time 
Tear your heart from mine 
Save your energy for the next love you'll run away from

On My Mind

On My Mind

I can't get you off my mind today 
It's funny how we learn to say the things that push us far away 
From all we want and all we shouldn't need 
But you're all I want and everything I want to be 

And she said, "did you hear the sky is falling? 
And no one's come to save me from your face" 
And he said, "did you see the sun stop burning 
When it stepped outside and saw an angel fall from grace?" 

And some days there is nothing left to say 
So I sit and dream and make believe that you are not so far away 
From all I want and all that I should need 
Now all I want is something I can't be 

And she said, "did you hear the sky is falling? 
And no one's come to save me from your face" 
And he said, "did you see the sun stop burning 
When it stepped outside and saw an angel fall from grace?" 

Broken and crawling out 
A token of all your doubt 
Chasing the fear within 
And fighting the tears without 

And she said, "can't you see the shame I hide? 
No, cause you're too wrapped up and tangled in your travesty 
Of a life you say you want to leave behind 
And so you'll run away and leave you on my mind 
On my mind..." 

I can't get you off my mind today

Turn

Turn

Wait while the moment falls apart 
Cause I'm still getting past this part 
Your eyes will never look on mine 
Except with secondary sight 

Maybe we were right 
Maybe I was wrong 
Only time can tell, but time is gone 

So turn 
Turn me upside down until I catch my breath 
Spin me all around until there's nothing left 
But everything we were and everything that never can be again 
Come on, love, and turn 

Put back the pieces that you stole 
All but the center of my soul 
Take back the words you try to hide 
Cause the love you claim I've found impossible to find 

Turn 
Turn me upside down until I catch my breath 
Spin me all around until there's nothing left 
But everything we were and everything that never can be again 
Come on, love, and turn 
Come on, love, and turn 

Love, you've got another try 
But I'm still fighting for my life 
Turn, turn me upside down 
Until I catch my... 

Spin me all around until there's nothing left 
But everything we were and everything that never can be again 
Come on, love, and turn 
Come on, love, and turn
