Sundown
In the daylight hour, can you fake it?
Can you find some distraction?
Can you find a way to make it?
But when nightfall comes, do you feel alone?
Do you find your poor heart searching?
For a place to call home?
Do you spend all your days feeling rundown
Cause the pain in your soul starts at sundown?
Can you feel a cold wind reaching in
To steal away your hope?
At sundown
When fallout in your life from broken plans you made
Finds you in your bed
Does it keep your mind awake?
You feel exposed in the morning light
And your heart needs sedation
But you’ve only got one choice
To get up and keep on pushing
Do you spend all your days feeling rundown
Cause the pain in your soul starts at sundown?
Can you feel a cold wind reaching in
To steal away your hope?
At sundown
At sundown
Do you spend all your days feeling rundown
Cause the pain in your soul starts at sundown?
Is it like a poisoned arrow flying
Straight for your heart?
At sundown
At sundown

The Way That I Miss You

The Way That I Miss You
Put on your boots tonight and go stomping out on the town
I know you're not someone who wants to feel tied down
Well, I’m so shattered now; I don’t know what to do
I know you don't miss me the way that I miss you
I know you don't miss me the way that I miss you
I used to think that we were two of a kind
We were friends until we crossed a line
But now your voice surrounds me in a shroud of blue
I know you don't miss me the way that I miss you
I know you don't miss me the way that I miss you
Its raining down
I'm so empty now
And it’s hard to face the truth
I know you don't miss me the way that I miss you
You’re out there drinking with the boys
And playin’ with your new toys
It’s time that I surrender cause there’s no use
No use
I know we tried our best to be honest at every turn
Baby, we played with fire and someone was bound to get burned
Those songs I wrote for you, well, every word was true
I know you don’t miss me the way that I miss you
I know you don’t miss me the way that I miss you
Its raining down
I'm so empty now
And it’s hard to face the truth
I know you don't miss me, the way that I miss you
I know you don't miss me
The way that I miss
The way that I miss you

Strangers Again
You with tears in your eyes
Heard my sad lullaby
You wrote in my notebook in pen
How was I to know
We’d be strangers again?
Streaming colors hit me like a dose
I fell for you, I fell to close
But now, we both pretend
How was I to know
We’d be strangers again?
Your bitter kiss goodbye stained my lips like wine
You told me all along that you would run
But somehow I
Was still surprised
I feel an empty space
Time heals but memories remain
Seemed like we were something back then
Oh now we are strangers
Strangers again

Learn How to Swim
Did you set out that evening, searching
For the things that would make you a whole person?
Or with something between a high dive and a suicide
Did you plunge in that water headfirst?
You said you’d be fine
That you’d do it on your own
But you’re anything but fine now
We both know
We both know
That the river runs deeper than you thought it did
Tears like floodwater that you’re drowning in
If you don’t want my help
Then you’ll just have to learn how to swim
Learn how to swim
With a fire inside of you burning
You fought but those rapids kept churning
I told you it hurt me to see you like that
And you said maybe I should stop looking
You said you’d be fine
That you’d do it on your own
But you’re anything but fine now
We both know
We both know
That the river runs deeper than you thought it did
Tears like floodwater that you’re drowning in
If you don’t want my help
Then you’ll just have to learn how to swim
Learn how to swim
You’ll wash out to sea, pretty soon
Past the delta, that current will carry you
And I’ll be there
On the cliff side
By the lighthouse
I’ll be there for you
‘Cause the river runs deeper than you thought it did
Tears like floodwater that you’re drowning in
If you don’t want my help
Then you’ll just have to learn how to swim
Learn how to swim

Always on the Run
Saw a picture of you
With a henna tattoo
Feels like everywhere I go now
I’m reminded of you
You swept me off my feet
And made me feel complete
I even spilled my guts out
In the middle of the street
Oh I can’t say why
You stay on my mind
I only know you bring me back to life
Cause I’ve been trying for so long
To make your ribbons come undone
I know this feeling can’t be wrong
But you’re always on the run
Always on the run
Strumming my guitar
I'm neither near nor far
While butterflies dance
I try to capture your heart
I hope that you will see
How beautiful life could be
I love the way you love to stay
Elusive to me
Oh I can’t say why
You stay on my mind
I only know you bring me back to life
Cause I've been trying for so long
To make your ribbons come undone
I know this feeling can't be wrong
But you're always on the run
Always on the run
Always on the run
Always on the run…
