Better Luck 03:04
Hold me as a stranger When nothing’s farther from the truth Darling don’t you know the danger Of living nail and tooth? If you want to break it down Throw around a little blame Point your finger at yourself I’ll do the same Saying, ‘better luck, better luck, better luck next time’ Maybe next time we’ll get it right When you get so ornery, Like you don’t know how to stop I don’t wan’t to leave you lonely You know I’d rather shake this off But if you want to break it down You really want to draw that line Funny thing is you will find I am on your side If you want to break it down Throw around a little blame Point your finger at yourself I’ll do the same Saying, ‘better luck, better luck, better luck next time’ Maybe next time we’ll get it right

Caught like a fish on a line Dished to print out in the nick of time Print one more line in your book Keep it taut, like the line from the hook I watch as this story unfolds Watch that page turn into gold Seems like they always want more Feels like we’ve been here before but I don’t know when… Starry nights shimmer and shine Eased in and then dragged down with wine Wrote off, and bent on the blues They rubbed off like the shine on your shoes I have sung you this song once before Clear as your knock on my door And we’ve stood here, so clumsily fond I am almost certainly sure but I don’t know when… I watch the scene again Trying to catch the moment We cast aside Our fears and pride Laid it on the line but I don’t know when…

Enough 04:07
Sometimes I wish we could say what we mean Instead of binding our hands, trying to swim upstream Then the way, could be easy Oh the road would seems so rough You could say, you had reason Oh and that would be enough Sometimes like lights can play tricks with your eyes Casting shadows more than twice the size Makes the night look so scary Makes the road look so rough Carry all you can carry Oh and that should be enough All throughout the evening We could feel it in our bones Something sent you reeling Through the realm of things unknown It was the weight of all the things you call your own Sometimes I wish we could just understand Instead of testing the water or trying for the upper hand But the words have been spoken And I always say too much Leaves us whole but heartbroken Because it never is enough Night fell while we were still Trying to make sense of it all No one stopped to recognize the shadows on the wall They were our own and we are only half that tall

When the sun came through the pines Those darkest corners of your mind Left you motionless, Staring at the ocean Sitting on a goodbye Our two hearts are full of doubt But I’m here to hear you out Holding my tongue ’Til the silence finally won And the sun set on our love Sitting on the edge Of a slip, becoming clear We dangle our feet, Throw our whole world off the pier Carelessly How could something so close feel so far away? This road never curves back We’ve been slipping through the cracks you wouldn’t find the time and I couldn’t draw the line Strong enough to reel you back From your moments in the deep Where no olive branch can reach There’s no way around the weight that pulls you down and You won’t talk to me And all I have to say Isn’t what you want to hear We can walk away I will always hold you dear Either way and you’ll still have to face your fears someday All I have to say Isn’t what you want to hear You can walk away I will always hold you dear Anyway You’ll have to face yourself someday That’s all I have to say…

Better loved and lost… Best to just not lose Once you’ve felt the cost of every out you choose Oh it’s hard sometimes Feel like I’m blinded by the pain And I need a light that shines Even through the rain If it’s all the same to you I’ll stay and share the weight Just to see this through Oh it’s hard sometimes Feel like I’m blinded by the pain And I need a light that shines Even through the rain

Restless in the bed we’ve made But I'm holding on for better days That never can come If we won’t work for it Every song you sang, I sang Every bell you rang, I came Running But it never made one bit Ooh.. Now I don’t want to go down That far into the dark I don’t think I’d make it out I don’t want to be down This far into my doubt What if we don’t make it out? I don’t want to fight If it isn’t right We can cut these ties that bind us Are you feeling free? Is it what you needed? All I ever wanted you to find Everything kiss you blew, I caught Every line you drew, I walked Darling, say I never did get through Ooh... Now I don’t want to go down That far into the dark I don’t think I’d make it out I don’t want to be down This far into my doubt What if we don’t make it out?

Pack the boxes, close the books and take a final bow The mood swings and the dirty looks They finally broke me down If you’re done proving your victory it may cross your mind The ones rewriting history Never leave it behind If you really feel, like you did this on your own It’s no wonder that you always feel alone What’s it worth if you don’t share? What’s the sound that I can’t bear? Just to hear you talk about it Like I wasn’t even there Folding back the photos so I’m hidden out of view Pictures all tell stories but that doesn’t make them true Or is it just this memory Falling into disrepair? Never mind, it’s my mistake I wasn’t even there If you really feel, like you did this on your own It’s no wonder that you always feel alone What’s it worth if you won’t share? What’s the sound that I can’t bear? Just to hear you talk about it Like I wasn’t even there What’s it worth if you won’t share it? What’s that sound? Oh I can’t bear it Just to hear you tell the story Like I wasn’t even there

Let It Go 03:23
You know, I know, you know, I know Oh, that taste so sweet Knocked me off my feet... To be that girl, I wandered down below Hang tight, tip-toe, now it's time to let it go Let it go You know, I know, you know, I know Now my sky is falling down Holding on to the sound But to be that girl, was like a room with no window And I found the door, now it's time to let it go Let it go You know, I know, you know, I know You know I know you

I know the rhythm of heartache by heart That subtle skip to stop before it starts the shortness of breath the longness of nights Got to keep on moving, it’s going to be alright Once you pull through Out of the blue You're going to see it all with new eyes Start to realize How good that feels Takes some time to learn When to take your turn And how good that feels It’s been a while since you’ve been on your own I see you wandering like you don’t know your home It's one sway to the left, two steps to the right Straight on till morning Wraps you up in its light Once you pull through Out of the blue You're going to see it all with new eyes Start to realize How good that feels Takes some time to learn To let that fire burn And how good that feels I see you are hurting And this cut is to the bone You may feel deserted But you are not alone you are not alone you've got to hold on You’re going to see it all with new eyes Start to realize How good that feels Takes some time to learn When to take your turn And how good that feels

Did you get my letter? I sent it US Mail Hope it finds you happy Healthy, safe, and well If this is the last time You ever know my mind Let it be A birch tree Upon you rest your eyes Upon these golden boughs All the times I waited Feel so foolish now The thought never abated Oh rustling, quiet down! And I have to Tell you Now I know Lest those fall leaves Leave you haunted By winds through early snow So I put pen to paper And I found These golden boughs To send my love to you Sending my heartbeat across the ground Everything else may turn to dirt But action and word As you unfold the branches Till you reach the bole Gilded by a message From my very soul So what if I tell you? So what if you know?
 I’m sending my love to you Sending my heartbeat across the ground Everything else may turn to dirt All that we are Is action and word
