A lifetime of laughter when you were just kids And all that came after the silly things you both did Those times are long, long gone like they ran off and hid Then the world got bigger with other places to play And getting so caught up in…

Everywhere I go, there's so much noise They try to tell you you'll be fine if you purchase their new toys But nothing on this Earth I've ever found Can bring me back to life when the world's run me down When nothing else can make it right…

The first lines of the chorus just crept into my head. I had to write the rest. ALL IN You've been holding back for so long now And I've been losing track of how many times I've written my vows It feels like you're sleeping behind the…

Tie your laces up and around Step outside without making a sound Just breathe in time with your feet touching down Bird of prey way up in the sky If you ran fast enough, could you fly? Just breathe in time and pray for the high Running…

For Kristen... We were immortal, you and I Alongside my sea, beneath your sky No need to fear tomorrow Now I see our time was borrowed I'll sit here rhyming by your side And play till we see a lower tide Lay out the course we'll travel…

The last wood of the season burning Another winter - see you on the other side After everything has died The last leaves of the season falling Soon the air will be filled with dark and doubt And the fire's going out The last night of…

Another cold night in Harbortown They gather in the snow with fresh tracks in their hands After daylight has long gone down They find the warmest room just like they always planned Brothers in arms, another battle won Raise a glass for…

Here we stand beneath the sky Take my hand as time rolls by Here we stand, nobody else around Did we land on solid ground? Along the ledge Side by side So near the edge Of the great divide For Heaven's sake I have no doubt The steps…

I met a buddy out for dinner To catch up on our lives Both way less saint and way more sinner At least, according to our wives But as he got himself a-talking He sounded more and more insane What he believed became so shocking For who…

Curled up next to me The way you like to do Wondering where I'd be If I never ran into you So easy now to see In those eyes so bright and blue Everything I'd ever need It's like you always knew The days'll come and go You lying here…

I've been to hell and back You might've seen me on my way There ain't a damn thing you can pack And it ain't no use to pray I've seen the darkest night Felt my life slip away Almost given up the fight But I'm still here today I'm not…

I keep searching for a sign From the other side To keep my hope alive Trying to walk the line God knows how hard I've tried Don't know if I'll survive Gotta let it slide Man, these are trying times If you attempt to fly You wind up…

Standing in the sunlight Trying to shade my eyes A lonely child's spotlight When you've got two strikes A little piece of you dies When a third sails by Dancing in the moonlight The fire in her eyes If I play this just right Maybe…

Forty days of rain Last night the sky was burning red It's been hard just keeping sane With all the voices in my head A forty-night long test Of an unrelenting mind Waking I looked west When you snuck up from behind The sun came out…

Raised on vinyl and a needle that rides To a paper circle at the end of both sides Between the speakers, cover in hand Sit in silence after Jungleland I will not trade one bit of my soul for their pieces of gold I've seen a world they'll…

Everybody's looking for a savior To tell them how to live before they die As if they can't control their own behavior Or trust what they can see with their own eyes Mindlessly believing what you tell 'em When everything you tell 'em is a…

If I told you how well I know you Would you tell me it's not true Have you got yourself believing No one could know you like I do I know it's been a long time coming So many others you thought would treat you right But I'm gonna show you…

Some say, "It's the price you gotta pay" Some say, "You gotta learn to walk away" But I'm still standing in the light And I won't go down without a fight Some say, "True love is just a lie" Some say, "You'll give it up before you die…

I suppose it could be worse I know I'm lucky I'm all right But I can tell that you've been cursed And it keeps me up at night So few are born to come in first So many born into a fight If the roles had been reversed Would they still believe…

I should've paid attention When my buddy mentioned The state of all the guys you'd left behind You looked so young and wild With that come-and-get-it smile You'd taken over something in my mind When we were together I should've seen the…
