New Years Drive
05:16
|

It was new years day
The sky black and bright
Wrapped in a dream
We went out for a drive
Through the end of night
With no place in mind
We followed the signs
The road unravelled
We were killing time
What a privileged crime
Honey will you wake me
When it's time to go
Honey will you wake me
How will I know
When it's time to go
So we headed northwest
And followed the sky
As it turned to gold
And burned itself alive
Now swallow down that lie
Honey will you wake me
When it's time to go
Honey will you wake me
How will I know
When it's time to go
And when we arrived
At the coast so clear
We could see straight through
Into the next year
The same as last year
Honey will you wake me
When it's time to go
Honey will you wake me
How will I know
When it's time to go

Leanna

There's a baby on the floor
Where there wasn't one before
Which one of you will save my soul
My oldest fear is growing old
Leanna
Keep us whole
It's been so long since we roamed
No direction known
Now we have this boy to hold
He has us to make a home
Leanna
Keep us whole
We're right where we belong
If sometimes I'm lost at sea
That's not the way I want to be
I promise you I'll make a change
Promise me you'll stay the same
Leanna
Keep us whole

We Need Love
03:40

We need love
More now than ever before
In times like these
When it's dark and it's cold
However long it takes
I'm suddenly patient
What promise did i make
I'll honor the conditions
Strike a match
On these walls of hate
There's no peace
Kept inside a cage
However long it takes
I'm suddenly patient
What promise did i make
I'll honor the conditions
All the years I didn't work hard enough
Practicing the wrong thing
Forge a path
Through your wilds of fear
Question most
What you hold most dear
However long it takes
I'm suddenly patient
What promise did i make
I'll honor the conditions
However long it takes
I'm suddenly faithful
What promise did i make
I'll honor the conditions

To Tower
04:23
|

I want to tower
Over you
But you're
Just too much
Here marks the hour
To choose
What I hear
In my heart
And you want forgiveness
And you want it now
She speaks the gospel
Undeterred
As the world
Falls apart
Pray on us brother
So that we
May make it
Out alive
And you want forgiveness
And you want it now
And if it comes back to you
Consider what you've got
Cause only the lucky ones maybe
Can keep it inside
Is it enough?

Tomorrow I have to work
Provided nothing stops me
You know I'd rather stay
Sheltered and cared for
As the dawn grows near
Still we're here lying
What I would give
To stop the sun from rising
Straight through lightning
Straight through straight
I don't mind you asking
If you don't mind the wait
Let's catch the late train coming
We can make it if we try
Hesitating at the station
Complicated by the light
Stood frozen on the platform
We watched the moment pass
I never knew regret could
Swallow you so fast
Straight through lightning
Straight through straight
I don't mind you asking
If you don't mind the wait
Let's say we did
Let's not and say we did
