Back Roads 03:45
I’m gonna call you on the phone Tell you that I’m coming soon Cause I have been missing you I know you better than Anyone can know you Cause everything we’ve been through Can you see the summer light I can see it in my mind I can’t wait to see you I’m packing up my car Gonna fill it up with gas Gonna hit at daybreak I’ve packed all your favorite things All of these memories The ones that I keep safe Can you see the summer light I can see it in my mind Can you feel all of this life As it rushes up inside Can you hold on to the thought The one that you can’t be without And I can’t wait to see you Gonna take the back roads Outside the center of town Pass by the blue church Drive out through the country Pass through pastures Go to where the fields never end Where we begin again I’m gonna take the back roads

First Snow 03:54
If time can not erase the troubles that you face You’ve reached out with your hands and held on tight Take it all in stride and I say buckle for the ride Hold on to life case it needs you Hold on to life If angels in the sky won’t take you for the ride You’re trying to clear the dust so you can see You’re feeling left behind like there is nothing you can find, then I say Hold on to me cause I need you Hold on to me All of the others They don’t know what I know They closed up their shutters As they felt the first snow If I had a crystal ball and somehow could see all I’d make this hand I’m holding fit the glove Maybe there’s a chance you would take this day and dance Then I say hold on to to love cause it needs you hold on to love Hold on to love

Butterfly 03:57
Yesterday’s gone with the sun I can feel it on my back as I have begun again And All that I see is you there As I’m holding on tightly and grasping for air And I am looking out, looking in I can see And I know you know, I know you know, I know you know we are here A new day has come once again I’ve boarded the train as I am settling in I look out my window and see All the world’s moving faster it is faster than me And I am looking out, looking in I can see And I know you know, I know you know, I know you know we are here Butterfly fly through the light Take refuge in trees and sleep through the night And when the dawn comes I’ll watch you take flight Yes I’ll stay right here till you’re out of site Yesterday’s gone with the sun But I’m getting much stronger as I have begun again And I can still see you right there But I’m living my life as I’m breathing this air And I am looking out, looking in I can see And I know you know, I know you know, I know you know we are one

Storm 03:59
If I could follow my heat Know I would follow my heart But it leads me to you and this tears me apart I would give this all away I would give this all away I’d give it to you and I’d ask you to stay When the dawn breaks I can see the light Coming through the horizon And I feel the life I would dive in the water No I would not look for a shore You see cause I breathe like no other Yes I am the storm If I could take this day You know I would take this day I’d take it real slow, one step at a time I’d want to spend it with you I’d want to spend it with you Cause I want to see where this takes us to When the night falls How I count my stars I look to the heavens I know that they’re not far If I could follow my heat You know I would follow my heart But it leads me to you and this tears me apart
5.
Somehow 03:44
I wish you’d hold me in your arms You see tomorrow I’ll be gone I’ll hold on to all we’ve been I see this light is fading into friends I’ll still send kisses every day Even when I am far away I can write your story down Cause its you I always want to know I can’t let go So I ask you Are you working the weekend How are mom and dad Do you have plans today Are feeling good Feeling Bad Are you driving into Boston Fishing on the coastline Riding your bike today I know how you like to get away Somehow I’m Locked out of innocence I don’t know how to be But I know I can take you there Somehow I’m stepping out on the Street Wont you step out with me I know I can meet you there Are you driving into Boston Fishing on the coastline Riding your bike today I know how you like to get away
6.
With You 03:30
Take me back to a time that I know Rest here a while, you will see Tomorrow there will be light in their eyes As I see you’re looking at me And I know light moves faster and grows And I know time takes life as it goes The ocean washed over me This hour stood still As I’m sitting here by the moon I’ll hold your tomorrow like nobody could And I’ll take you back to my room And I know light moves faster and glows And I know time takes life as it goes Life as it goes faster and faster Life as it goes riding the waves I will be there come hell or high water I want to share life as it goes with you And I know light moves faster and grows And I know time takes life as it goes

Sun Light 03:29
Oh how I like to make you smile It is a perfect day today I’ll pour a drink or two for you And we can get away I’m going to make this time today This time in our life slips away And I know you can make me smile And I can see you Sunlight on the lake I see summer fade Hold me close and hold me tight Laying down on the grass tonight Meeting friends for drinks downtown Riding tandem all around Hold on tightly to you It’s you who’s got me I can hold all of your thoughts It’s you who’s beautiful and lost And how I’d like I loose myself And get away

Missing You 03:59
I gonna look you in eyes I gonna day goodbye for now I don’t want to go Say the word we’ll take this slow Want to take a ride Cause I’m gonna take a look inside I want to find my way back home And it’s raining now I just don’t care I am on the street I’m just standing here There is so much more That I want to be I am missing you Are you missing me I gonna put this down I’m gonna take a look around Cause this wasn’t mine And I must walk away But I’ll take this day Yes I’ll take one day at a time Because tomorrow isn’t mine I will hold this like a fall day Just knowing everything will change The sun goes down The sun goes down

Deja Vu 04:15
It is there in November when the sky it got dark And the leaves they all fell from the trees And the woods they look different as they always unveil I am falling in love with this breeze I’ve watched you closely I’m certain that there’s something more this should be I can’t yet explain it And I don’t have the words I just want you to recognize me Cause I know you Somehow I know you You’re my deja vu And it’s there in the moment when the world is so quiet I am left here alone with my thoughts Tonight the sky looks so clear and the stars are so bright I can not help this feeling I’m lost I’ve seen so many places And so many life’s And I’ve walked this road holding your hand But I will let go soon and I’ll learn to fly I promise you I’ll learn to land It’s a flickering light put out by soft rain In this flickering world your my flickering flame It’s as fragile as ice it may all melt away It’s as fragile as life for it takes breaths to stay

Fall 04:51
I can see daylight is calling me Holding my hand still I want to be I do not know why I’m free falling out of this sky Holding a time that I didn’t break I would not make all the same mistakes I wouldn’t be here if I couldn’t be here at all Now in this stormier weather I’m certain this day will catch up to me I don’t know what I’ll find but if you Follow me I’ll follow you Fall like you have nothing left to break Live this life like there are no mistakes Cry like there’s nothing more they can take Follow me I’ll follow you Dance in the light that’s so awesome bright You can walk through the dark cause you are the light No promises that it will turn out right Follow me I’ll follow you Home dear, yes I’ve left a light on my porch I’ve left it so you can come home Cause I see you, I see right through Daybreak, it’s only an hour away Yet still I lie here awake Thinking of you and trying to get through Take time before time takes you away Case it will be gone before you can look in their eyes and wish them goodbye I fell down down this rabbit hole
