Sundown 03:45
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 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 (4x)

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…
