Walking on Water
02:08
|

|
I’ve been walking on water
Wasting all my time
I’ve been calling your daughters
Waiting on the line
Oh, walking on water
All my shoes are dry
I’ve been walking on water
All I do is cry
Daddy, you left all your children
Waiting on a lie
Daddy, you left all your children
All I do is cry
I’ve been walking on water
Walking on my own
I’m walking to heaven
Least they tell me so
Daddy, you left all your children
Waiting on a lie
Daddy, you left all your children
All I do is cry
I’m walking on water
Walking on my own
I’m walking to heaven
Least they tell me so

So She Runs
04:05
|

|
Susie is a wanderer
She brings her things along with her
In the weathered satchel she wears upon her back
On the search for something better
Little Susie’s gone and set her heart on what she lacks
So she runs
So far away
She just runs
So she runs
So far away
She just runs
Comfort, oh, she doesn’t know
If, or when, its face will show
So, Susie makes her home among the stars
Following the path a moon takes
Always gone too soon and she awakes to find her scars
So she runs
So far away
She just runs
So she runs
So far away
She just runs
Running from the shattered pieces of her broken pride
Running ‘cause her heavy heart has been opened wide
Running to the grass that’s greener on the other side
So she runs
So far away
She just runs
So she runs
So far away
She just runs

Wreck Cut Loose
03:28
|
|||
|
When you’re down
When you’re out
Every moment turns to an introspective investigation into yourself
Can’t think about anything else
So, I’ll be walking around
Or, just sitting down
I see your face in every puddle, I see myself in every shaking leaf
I see ourselves in every simple thing
I’ve been listening to old country songs
I been drinking real good now
Everything’s soft and still
I’m a wreck cut loose
I wish I
Could blame it all on you
Yeah, I wish I could blame everything on me
But life doesn’t work that way
One day you love, one day it goes away
And I miss you
Darling, I do
I gotta stop at every corner to figure out my way
Every step feels
Like I’ve never
Taken one before
I’ve been listening to old country songs
I been drinking real good, now
Everything’s soft and still
I’m wreck cut loose
I’m a wreck cut loose

Looking
03:11
|
|||
|
She picked up
She moved across town
She wanted
To be the girl who found her way in this big ol' world alone
With one dream
She had all her life
The same thing
Her mama once tried and failed at the age of twenty-nine
She went looking for her place among the stars
Everybody thought she wouldn't make it far
But to prove them wrong, she told her stories well
But some things she wouldn’t even tell herself
She woke up
She had a fright
The same dream
The very last time she saw her face when she was nine
She stepped up
She testified
She wanted
To be the girl to feel your love and never be left twice
She went looking for her place among the stars
Everybody thought she wouldn’t make it far
But to prove them wrong she told her stories well
But some things she wouldn’t even tell herself

A Widow
03:47
|
|||
|
Picked up and thrown, I’m nobody’s catch anymore
Won’t dare to wear that velvet dress I adore
Love don’t leave me, please retrieve me, I’m on the floor
I can hear your shadow pacing by the door
These old memories are coming back again
They linger in my depressed mind
These old memories, a night that never ends
Will the light be mine again?
Woke up and drove, like midnight roads I’m alone
Warmed up, the engine hums, the headlights they know
That I’m leaving, will they lead me away from home
Or deceive me—please believe me, I mean to go
These old memories are coming back again
They flicker in my rear-view mind
These old memories, this night will surely end
There’s a sun around the bend

Scared to Move
04:11
|
|||
|
Are you lonesome tonight?
We can turn down those lights
I know you’re scared to love
Feels like you’ve lost before
We can drive this all night
We can run those red lights
I know you’re scared to move
Feels like your hands are tied
We all come from different places, oh
You and I are facing changes, oh
Closing hands and crossing over, oh
There’s no returning back from where we go, oh
In a strange new half-light
I will be your guide
I know you’re scared to move
We’ll find our way in time
We all come from different places, oh
You and I will face these changes, oh
Closing hands and crossing over, oh
There’s no returning back from where we go, oh

Secret
03:15
|
|||
|
Have you ever held back
Something you knew was wrong
Always biting your tongue
Until you couldn’t taste anymore
It was on your shoulders
The weight of your words
Like a loaded gun
I’ve got a secret and I can’t keep it in
Don’t know how long I can carry this sin
I’ve got a secret and it’s wearing me thin
Oh, it’s wearing on me, wearing on me, on me
Have you ever looked back
On something you thought was love
You were biding your time
Until you didn’t speak anymore
Now you’re one year older
But a wayward girl
And you’re on the run
I’ve got a secret and I can’t keep it in
Don’t know how long I can carry this sin
I’ve got a secret and it’s wearing me thin
Oh, it’s wearing on me, wearing on me, on me

Hurt Her So
03:29
|
|||
|
There was a girl I knew
Who couldn’t handle
The petty things in life
She was so fragile
Upon entering a room
Her feet entangled
Blushing under her rouge
She tried so hard to
Brush off all her cares when she was alone
Brush off every little comment
Brush off all her cares when she was alone
Brush off every little comment
They hurt her so
Hurt her so
One day she said to me
Her lips grown bolder
Could I reveal her pain
She hid so deeply
Inside her hindered soul
We looked down further
For what could render her
Unable to be able to
Brush off all her cares when she was alone
Brush off every little comment
Brush off all her cares when she was alone
Brush off every little comment
They hurt her so
Hurt her so
They hurt her so
Hurt her so

Runaway
03:43
|
|||
|
Though I tried and got real close, he wouldn’t let me in
I burned in my heart for so long, that it’s a sin
Then my eyes were laid open, and out went the flame
I ran through the darkness—a road with no name
I’m a runaway
I’m a runaway
I’m a runaway
I’m a runaway
Though I’m tired, my feet won’t stop, they won’t let me rest
I burn to the beat of my heart and each breath
Don’t know how far I’m going, our road has no end
I’m alright with not knowing, but free to pretend
I’m a runaway
I’m a runaway
I’m a runaway
I’m a runaway

Control
02:14
|
|||
|
I step outside
Take a breath in
I know I shouldn’t follow you
Down dusty roads where no one’s been
But it feels nice
To be naive
On a road without a past
Our memories are fading fast
And we’re off
Against the odds
To find what we can’t hold
We’ve lost control
We’ve lost control
We’ve lost control
We’ve lost control
I search the stars
That fill the sky
Underneath the hourglass
In constant fear that we won’t last
Can’t stretch the time
That marches on
Over sand and towards a light
That disappears as we draw near
And we’re off
Against the odds
To find what we can’t hold
We’ve lost control
We’ve lost control
We’ve lost control
We’ve lost control

The Flood
04:07
|
|||
|
Looking all over town for him
My hope is fading dim
Looking out for a boy, who can’t swim
A needle lost in a stack
Of needles lost at sea
When I find my love at the oceanside
How will I be relieved?
Too many years have passed, they say
Leave the sinner to his sin
They say my love won’t win
They sit dry there on the sunlit side
With the river played for a wall
But when the moon goes up with the rising tide
The water touches them all
Daylight finds him sleeping in
In a vision so serene
It belies the ugly truth about dreams
Have you ever watched the sun come up
Just before you’ve gone to bed
It’s the prettiest lie, it’ll fill your eyes
With every tear in your head
