Be Together

We’ve got to be together while we can
We’ve got to be together
It took some time to help me realize
The one already stood before my eyes
A lot had happened and a year went by
I was reminded why we had to try
We’ve got to be together while we can
Let’s spend our time together while we can
Life is short, so be amazing while you can
We’ve got to be together
We had ideas from the very start
We’d act like we had never been apart
On your feet and gaining confidence
You swept me up with glowing radiance
We’ve got to be together while we can
Let’s spend our time together while we can
Life is short, so be amazing while you can
We’ve got to be together
I think one hundred years could come and go
A life without you is one I’ll never know
And I died tomorrow I could say
We won because we lived for today
We’ve got to be together while we can
Let’s spend our time together while we can
Life is short, so be amazing while you can
We’ve got to be together
We’ve got to be together.

Little Dreams
04:18

Oh, the little birds, they are at war
As they fight for their piece of suburbia
There’s hope in everything that wakes
You’re worth more to me than double takes
Little dreams can turn into bigger dreams
And bigger dreams can lead me back to you
If we all gave up on our little dreams
You know, the bigger dreams would never come true
I declare these morning hours to be mine
Before my day fills up with time
I’m saving these hours for me
Gonna spend them away from reality
Little dreams should turn into bigger dreams
And bigger dreams should lead me back to you
If we all gave up on our little dreams
You know, the bigger dreams would never come true
I’m expected to be everywhere
But I don’t have to be anywhere
Except where I want to be
Just you, the little birds, and me
Little dreams have turned into bigger dreams
And bigger dreams still lead me back to you
If we all gave up on our little dreams
You know, the bigger dreams would never come true
For you
Aye aye, aye aye, aye aye

On and On

Standing in a faraway place
Trying to get to you, love
I had a vision of your face
The one that always guides me
May your ever-lovin’ arms wrap around me
And go on and on and on and on, forever
May your ever-loving smile keep shining on
And go on and on and on and on, forever
It’s been forever and a day since we have been together
But when that time comes around
I’ll need you more than ever
May your ever-lovin’ arms wrap around me
And go on and on and on and on, forever
May your ever-loving smile keep shining on
And go on and on and on and on, forever

Driver
03:42

I just ran out of luck trying to survive
My tab was fifty bucks
I had thirty-five
And I don’t wanna do what’s wrong
And I don’t always do what’s right
But I’m going to need a sober driver tonight
There’ll be hell to pay so put it on my tab
‘Cause when my back was turned
I felt all the stabs
All the haters who dragged me down
And the lovers who picked there fights
Are the reason I need sober driver tonight
Nothing else to say that I ought to know
Nowhere else to stay and nowhere else to go
No, I can’t go home, at least not yet
I can’t face the music or pay my debts
And I know that I left it wrong
But I didn’t want to fight
Now I need someone to take me home tonight
In the morning light, in the mirror above
You look so beautiful
I think I’m in love
And my head is spinning round
But everything feels right
‘Cause I’m so glad that I came home to you tonight
Yes I’m so glad that I came home to you tonight

Hometown
02:46

One thing you have taught me
No matter how far you go
You don’t forget where you come from
And don’t let on how much you know
‘Cause one thing about that old hometown
It picks me up and it puts me down
My door is always open
It’s a lighthouse for a mariner’s heart
You’ll always know where home is
You can find it in the dark
‘Cause one thing about that old hometown
It picks me up and it puts me down
I don’t care how far you travel
Just take these words from me
You’ll always know where home is
It’s a lighthouse for the mariner’s heart
In the darkened streets and snowdrifts
It can tear your grudges apart
‘Cause one thing about that old hometown
It picks me up and it puts me down
One thing about that old hometown
It picks me up and it puts me down

Path of Least Resistance
03:17
|

|
The best way to your heart is not to even start
To be haphazard or indifferent
I try to take a stand and get an upper hand
Against irreverent and dismissive
Try to be better and try hard to understand
I tried to be the best
I just can’t pass the test
So I hit the wall of strong indifference
It’s such a heavy load to take a higher road
And get off the path of least resistance
Try to be better and try hard to understand
That the world is all for show
The more I think the less I know
That the path of least resistance
Word deep within the ground
If I can’t get over the wall you built
I’ll just have to walk around
The color of your heart is of the finest art
Not watered down with fake indifference
I need a peace of mind
If I could only find a way off of the path of least resistance
Try to be better and try hard to understand
That the path of least resistance
Word deep within the ground
If I can’t get over the wall you built
I’ll just have to walk around
If I can’t get over the wall you built
I’ll just have to walk around

Breaking Through
02:54
|

Where could we go and what could we do
To make the world better for me and for you
We’ve gone to the edges
The highs and the lows
It’s time to move on now so come on let’s go
We’re finally breaking through
I feel the sun is shining too
We’re finally breaking through
You know I’m always here for you
We’ll empty the chaos and fill the sublime
The smallest of steps, a day at a time
What did we wish for
For things to improve
So let’s get together and get on the move
We’re finally breaking through
I feel the sun is shining through
We’re finally breaking through
And change is up to me and you

Feel / My Heartbeat
04:16
|

|
And just because you’re beautiful
Doesn’t mean that I can tell you to your face
It’s just not my place
And just because you’re standing there and I’m standing here
Doesn’t mean this will happen today
I guess I’ll just fly away
And just because I’m a writer doesn’t mean the words come easily, but
Oh, oh oh oh, you make me feel so good inside, and
Oh, oh oh oh, you make me feel that I can touch the sky
And just because I’m up on stage
Doesn’t mean I think that I am all the rage
Or some kind of sage
And just because I’m a writer and I stare at a screen all day
Doesn’t mean I know what to say
Just like yesterday
So I’ll express myself some other way, but
Oh, oh oh oh, you make me feel so good inside, and
Oh, oh oh oh, you make me feel that I can touch the sky, and
Oh, oh oh oh, you make me feel so good inside, and
Oh, oh oh oh, you make me feel that I can touch the sky
You’re my heartbeat, you’re my air
You’re the cool breeze, in my hair
You’re my everything, the reason I care
You’re heartbeat, you are my air
You’re my heartbeat (repeat)

Opened Your Eyes
03:45

When you opened your eyes today, what were you going to see?
And when you set out to be someone, who were you hoping to be?
When you opened up the door, where were you going to go?
Well, it’s more about the journey (more clearly now)
Than it is destination (myself right now)
And we make our connections (toward you now)
At the right place, at the right time.
When you opened your mind today, what were you going to think?
When you get to the crossroads, which way do you turn?
Well, it’s more about the journey (more clearly now)
Thank it is destination (go forward now)
And we make our connections (toward you now)
In the right place, at the right time.
