Since Then 04:03
Through the field to the fort We can say what we want Underground far away from what makes us scared Pulling burs from our shoes I got some dirt on my knees Don’t forget where I came from this afternoon There’s no way to know There’s no way to go where I’m going now So tell me something true Before this is through let’s make it right The pain woke you up in the night We cut the cause with a knife Laid on my side I heard you breathing It was worth my time So much rests on a though Find the words when they come And I’ll take a ride in the morning if you don’t mind There’s no way to know There’s no way to go where I’m going now So tell me something true Before this is through let’s make it right I don’t think the same since then, since then Don’t forget my name again, again

Home/Away 02:57
I left home a week ago tomorrow Said goodbye to all my friends and sorrow Met some folks along the way Saw the ocean from the bay But I missed home and couldn’t stay for long though When I left the trees were bare and weary Premonitions of a day so dreary Saw you walking out the door Wishing things were like before When I had a chance to love so dearly Now that I’m back Everything is so green Don’t look back There’s nothing to be seen

Summer Song 02:56
Summertime don’t mean that much to me now Hide outside and take that silent vow You said it said it said it said it yesterday Meant it meant it meant it meant it anyway Close and far just mean so much to me now Dress yourself up and take that little bow I need it need it need it need it all the time Sentimental when I take it all inside Can’t you see the waves coming in Let it go so easy Let your mind just take a long swim All it takes to free me January seems so far away Tumble down and feel the disarray I get it get it get it get it in my ears Take a listen to the sound of hopes and fears

Clarity 05:08
You don’t want to be taught Say what you want I’m blocked in for now Don’t know why or how Don’t take all my time Tell me it was fine Remember songs we sang They say we won’t Remember all the gain I’m not alone Don’t forget the way My leash means I’ll stay Taking all this time You turn on a dime Don’t take all my mind Tell me it was fine Don’t be afraid of what we have made Don’t be afraid of what we have made…

There was a summer when I drove across the country Listening to the mix-tape you made Spent the nights in parking lots of grocery stores and run-down malls Trying not to wish that you had stayed Great Lakes and badlands, I tried to make a straight line Back to my mountain home I should’ve seen it coming, I should’ve seen it coming I should’ve seen it coming long ago Daylight savings time The sun is out and I’ll be fine And you won’t cross my mind The sun is so warm and so kind The sun is so warm and so kind There was a winter when I stayed inside a cabin Trying to learn what I was supposed to do Splitting wood and time alone, it surely made me stronger The sky was filled with snow or bright blue Spring came, I packed my things and went back to the city Missing the smell of evergreen I should’ve seen it coming, I should’ve seen it coming I should’ve seen it coming long ago Daylight savings time The sun is out and I’ll be fine And you won’t cross my mind The sun is so warm and so kind The sun is so warm and so kind Shine down on me Shine down on me Shine down on me Shine down on me

Better Man 03:10
We’re all growing old You can feel it now, you could feel it then I don’t know about what I’ve been told We’re all feeling fine We stay at home and sing our songs Not all of us can shine Spring is here and you don’t mind waiting The wolf is at your door Listen to your sister and mother Pray for the hand that restores We slept through the fall Saying the things that we wanted to hear We thought we saw it all We awoke to snow Vulnerable as the flakes on the ground There’s still so much that we don’t know Spring is here and you don’t mind saying It takes a better man Listen to the side you’re hiding Make yourself a better plan

I heard you on the phone Don’t want to be alone Drive to your house today Say what I need to say Bought you a winter coat Will I ever know All your secret things? Let’s go dancing On your way down put your hand in mine I don’t know why we waste all this time Just so I know that you weren’t faking it Call out my name and I’ll never quit Why did we wait for this Even with a kiss Don’t forget me now I can show you how When I go And jump off the ropes Scarred and teary eyed I never thought you lied On your way down put your hand in mine I don’t know why we waste all this time Just so I know that you weren’t faking it Call out my name and I’ll never quit There was a time and place For a man like me And I knew it would come to this I just wanted to be free

New Mexico 04:00
What did you say when I was out alone Second-guessing, moment-missing, down to the shore It pours and pours and pours Try to keep my thoughts all gathered up Past a year now, just don’t fear how they say we won’t It’s thrown, it’s flown, it’s grown Feel the fire Flame the waste let’s make haste Full of fire Say the words that we’ve earned Got the package with the key inside So hand-written, savored it and thought of your hand To hold and hold and hold Let my mind go backwards and ahead To the place where see your face there feel your own breath The breeze, your ease, we please Feel the fire Flame the waste let’s make haste Full of fire Say the words that we’ve earned Full of fire Flame the waste let’s make haste Feel the fire Say the words that we’ve earned

Rabbit 04:01
Headphones on Thoughts should turn off Sneakers on the path so soft Through the field See the children play What can shield me from the grey Rabbit in my path Show me where to go Go slow Kestrel in my view Show me how to fly I’ll try Shoe’s untie Stop and breath How could I ever leave Heart beats fast Covers up the sound Going for the pass the long way round Rabbit in my path Show me where to go Go slow Kestrel in my view Show me how to fly I’ll try I’ll try to understand as you hover above the land Spread my wings like you tell me to do But I am just a man Yeah, I am just a man But I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try
