The Forecast
03:45
|
|||
I stood on the edge of winter and looked toward spring
To warmer days and sun shining
But the clouds rolled in, a storm is coming
You were always there
Once dead but never gone
You said, let's run but just for fun
Two hearts on different sides of the storm
If you don't believe
Don't make it out to be easy
If you don't believe
I'll show you the best I can be
I never knew she'd be the lightning in my rain
Those April showers brough bitter pain
Teach me to dance, oh sweet Elaine
When you light the sky
I can see everything I hoped for
This weary road gets so much clearer
If you don't believe
Don't make it out to be easy
If you don't believe
I'll show you the best I can be
If you don't believe
If you don't believe
If you don't believe
If you don't believe
If you don't believe
Don't make it out to be easy
If you don't believe
I'll show you the best I can be

Take a Deep Breath
03:01
|
|||
I'm taking the first step out
On a balmy summer day
The fresh air rushes in
Like nostalgia coming back
Coming back from a time when we could relax
Coming back from a time before
Before we dug ourselves into this hole
But you've got to know
That we can go back
We're breathing out the last two years of breathing in
It's the deepest breath I've ever taken
We're breathing now
And never again will I say
This is not who I am
I've been down in this ocean
For way too long
And when I finally reach the surface
To take a deep breath
It feels like the first time
I opened my eyes to the blinding sunlight
It feels like, it feels like
The first time you came home
So get in the car and drive
Farther than we've ever gone before
We're breathing out the last two years of breathing in
It's the deepest breath I've ever taken
We're breathing now
And never again will I say
This is not who I am
The sun starts to rise over the park in back yard
And I am perfect where I am
In the songs in my head
In the memories we'll tell our kids
Before they make their own
We're breathing out the last two years of breathing in
It's the deepest breath I've ever taken
We're breathing now
And never again will I say
This is not who I am
Not who I am
We're breathing now
We're breathing now
This is now who I am

The Road

Meet me where the road divides
I won't let you leave alone
Even though we'll say goodbye
I know this road will lead you home
I see all that we've been through
From miles away
From rocket ships to Saturdays in my basement
I'll miss you every single day
Meet me where the road divides
I won't let you leave alone
Even though we'll say goodbye
I know this road will lead you home
On that last August night at Whitney's
That's when it hit me
You were gone
So long
Then I realized why she cried
Meet me where the road divides
I won't let you leave alone
Even though we'll say goodbye
I know this road will lead you home

Picture Frames
03:41
|

I wrote my name in the dust on a picture frame
The image still the same
My reflection changed
The glass was cracked
The picture torn
But those memories
Still keep me warm
Oh the glory days
Oh the memories
I wrote your name next to mine on the picture frame
If you had known me on that day
You could see how much I've changed
I'm taller now
My hair got cut
I'm smiling now
Unlike before
Oh the memories
Oh the memories

This is how I remember you
This is how you'll stay
This is how I remember you
This is how you'll stay
Standing in a field
Waiting for the sun to rise
Or the rain to fall down
On your shattered life
And you don't really care which way it goes
Cause worse wouldn't be so much worse than
What you've been fighting
For the last two years
I tore that picture up
It floats like dust in the wind
In the morning air
And you just closed your eyes
And went on with your life
Like no one really cared
Those pictures of you
Smiling with all your friends
Are from before the world came down
And sometimes I wonder if all those smiles
Were just a face you put on
To face a world that let you down
I remember watching you fall
And I remember thinking
That it was all my fault
Now I'm sitting in a field
Waiting for the sun to rise
Or the rain to fall down
On my new life
As much as I say I don't care which way it goes
Worse would be much worse than
What I've grown used to
And I realize
I'm so lucky to be alive
Living is so easy with your eyes closed
Living is so easy with your eyes closed
Living is so easy with your eyes closed
Living is so easy with your eyes closed

You Write the End
06:29
|
|||
I'm armed with everything I need
Pen and paper and stories
Love and loss written in ink
You can't erase but you can change
I could write your perfect love song
Or laments about times gone
The back cover isn't bound on
With every moment comes a new blank page
This story's nonfiction, it's not over yet
This pen can't tell me what will happen next
This is your story, you're living it now
And you write the end
This won't be bent from page to screen
Broadway will never stage the scene
Cause only you know what it means
No one else can send that message
So read all the fairytales and rhymes
Live life by your favorite lines
You're the narrator this time
Don't let this be a boring passage
This story's nonfiction, it's not over yet
This pen can't tell me what will happen next
This is your story, you're living it now
And you write the end
You write new chapters every day
Breaking up and coming of age
You wish you wouldn't seperate
Like the couple in that novel
It's anti-climactic, you know
If you don't move on, let go
I'm not saying don't have hope
But you can make this end well
This story's nonfiction, it's not over yet
This pen can't tell me what will happen next
This is your story, you're living it now
And you write the end
You've gotta run
Too fast for him to catch you
Cause you don't want
Your story to read like
She read about the past
Over and over again
Until her last day
She died of regret
Of never falling love again
This story's nonfiction, it's not over yet
This pen can't tell me what will happen next
This is your story, you're living it now
And you write the end
You will write the end
