I seen somedays so cruel I seen somedays like you Floating on rosebuds with their legs in the sun I watch night fall so dark decorated with stars holding' up candles to romance and run These nights last so long without you My mind never rests till it finds you And now that I'm here Please love me again My boots they turn black While I walk down your path Forgive me my darling, I made it at last These nights last so long without you My mind never rests till it finds you And now that I'm here Please love me again The distance pulls like a weight on my chain these empty arms will hold you again I grow patient and I grow scared These nights last so long without you My mind never rests till it finds you And now that I'm here Please love me again

I feel the pressure just burying my thoughts There's no way out, but I guess that's part of the cost Claims, debts, and overdrafts on everything I bought Put it on my tab with the rest of what you want Your not gonna buy my soul today I've worked too hard to have it stripped away All I have is that and love anyways My wife makes sense of it all and pats me on the back Says there's never been a pricetag on what we have Some men only care about what's bought and sold At the end of the day, Gold is just Gold Your not gonna buy my soul today I've worked too hard to have it stripped away All I have is that and love anyways Ghosts knocking on my door at three A.M. Don't do what you done before Your not gonna buy my soul today I've worked too hard to have it stripped away All I have is that and love anyways

By Your Side 02:53
If I'm gone in a couple of years And you find yourself all alone in tears You feel the good wind kiss your ears When you find a note in your pocket that you never new was there the words act like fingers, as they run through your hair That's me waiting by your side That's me waiting by your side Some things come and go But true love always shows That's me waiting by your side When you set the table and you're dining just for one You swear you see a hand grab the bottle and share a glass of wine That's me waiting by your side That's me waiting by your side Some things come and go But true love always shows That's me waiting by your side Some days they feel like rain they flood your heart again and again but the sadness splits and the sun will rise and the clouds will break and you'll know why That's me waiting by your side That's me waiting by your side Some things come and go But true love always shows That's me waiting by your side

I drink my beers in a hurry while you get drunk off another man This love I twisted sour like train tracks quenching at your mouth Are you holding another mans hand Don't run away, don't run away (run away) Don't run away, don't run away (run away) Time ain't slowing' down No matter what I try Time ain't slowing' down, slowing' down I'm laying on your sweater I burry my feelings in your scent As it fades Don't run away, don't run away (run away) Don't run away, don't run away (run away) Time ain't slowing' down No matter what I try Time ain't slowing' down, slowing' down Time ain't slowing' down Time ain't slowing' down

Abigail 02:54
Your voice trails off in a distant stream To end in the ocean beneath my feet You block your heart out to the world, fine by me As long as once in a while I can see it beat Abigail let this come to a close Abigail you're the one I love the most While you're gone back home, While you're still away Every second a mile, every inch a day I know you've had your doubts, but i won't point blame I'll keep my mouth shut if it keeps me sane Abigail let this come to a close Abigail you're the one I love the most There ain't a knife that's dull There ain't no shades to pull I was as clear as I could Abigail let this come to a close Abigail you're the one I love the most

There is a sunset that lives in your eyes There's a cloudy sky in mine darlin' So as you walk by and you blush while you smile Well, it melts me inside the good way Don't move out of my reach too soon Lost in the thought of you Lost in the thought of you Lost in the thought of you Come crash my dreams while I'm drifting asleep Won't you tug on my soul in the dark And just when it seems like you're leaning on me For a kiss on the cheek, I wake up Don't move out of my reach too soon Lost in the thought of you Lost in the thought of you Lost in the thought of you You're the girl I can't navigate Can't hold up my compass To find the right way It's my mind that's paying the cost Lost in the thought of you Lost in the thought of you Lost in the thought of you

Down & Out 03:14
I see you running out the house and crying in the yard cleaning off the tears I always cause Every sip I take Every needle I abuse It tears me up inside, but I can't get enough Won't you calm my nerves With your peaceful sound Down, Down and Out Down, Down And Out Next time you call Well, I hope that I'm alive Cause I'm feeling like I might not be Forgive my sins cause I'm faded out and drunk and there's kerosene in my veins, won't you get it out Won't you calm my nerves With your peaceful sound Down, Down and Out Down, Down And Out Every time I think I've kicked my habit I haven't I still need you by my side In other words Won't you calm my nerves With your peaceful sound Down, Down and Out Down, Down And Out Down, Down And Out

I can carve our names into a stone Etch out a little heart in a tree trunk I can pull up the brightest daisies on the way to your house But I cannot pretend that I'm not fallin' for you I can walk to your front steps, knock upon your door I can think of something smooth to say that you've never heard before I can pull you close and keep you calm But I cannot pretend that I'm not fallin' for you No I cannot pretend that I'm not fallin' for you You could say I'm going crazy for you Head over heals But there's no time for white lies or playing hard to get I can kiss you while the sun sets slow I can walk beside you and grab your hand to hold I can get used to the way your smile puts me into shock But I cannot pretend that I'm not fallin' for you No I cannot pretend that I'm not fallin' for you Falling, falling, falling for you Falling, falling, falling for you
9.
I ain't begging for beauty or searching for pearls to light up the night for the entire world Just want you to lean on when times get tough Honey, I ain't askin' for much I ain't asking' for the promise that you're never gonna leave or even if you're thinking that we'll last past a week Just want you to remember you make my heart rush Honey, I ain't askin' for much So hold on dear cause somehow I fear I'm being let down slow like the moon and there's not much I feel I can do I ain't claiming I'm the best man that's out there for you or poking' at the notion that you should ever choose Just give me a few mornings to watch you wake up Honey, I ain't askin' for much Honey, I ain't asking' for much
10.
Leave me, it wouldn't be so bad It'd be a different kinda drowning than the luck I've had Wakin' up in the dead of night you cry into your pillow I pull you close, but not enough to make it right So please don't leave me to blame When did wrong come my way When did wrong come my way Been tryin' to kick it out Never knew I could be so afraid When did wrong come my way I'll help you pack your bags Let you settle in at home Take care of the dog and everything we own Trust me if I could I would explain When did wrong come my way When did wrong come my way Been tryin' to kick it out Never knew I could be so afraid When did wrong come my way Takes everything I have not to tell you I still set the table for two I'd rather keep you from this pain When did wrong come my way When did wrong come my way Been tryin' to kick it out Never knew I could be so afraid When did wrong come my way
