Summers in my Hometown
04:41

I miss the summers in my hometown
When everything would slow down
And the trees would lend relief from the heat of the sun
With shade enough for everyone
I miss the summers in my hometown
And when the sun would go down
The sky would glow, he'd envy us below
I miss it so
Oh!
We would drive with windows down
Feel the air move
Oh!
And I miss my family
Wanna see them constantly
I remember why I left
But I don't know why I stayed
And you couldn't call it theft
'Cause the time I lost, I gave
And it's certainly nice to know
That I can go
And it's certainly nice to know
That I can go
I miss the winters back where I'm from
'Cause I never felt so lonesome
Listening to the rhythm as the rain would fall
Hell, I miss it all
Oh!
We would drive with windows down
Feel the air move
Oh!
And I miss my family
Wanna see them constantly
I remember why I left
But I don't know why I stayed
And you couldn't call it theft
'Cause the time I lost, I gave
And it's certainly nice to know
That I can go
And it's certainly nice to know
That I can go
Oh!
We would drive with windows down
Feel the air move
Oh!
And I miss my family
Wanna see them constantly
Until they're sick of me
I remember why I left
But I don't know why I stayed
And you couldn't call it theft
'Cause the time I lost, I gave
And it's certainly nice to know
That I can go
And it's certainly nice to know
That I can go

Let You Win

Boy, you're driving me crazy
Beyond the point of distraction and
Makin' my good judgement hazy
Can't get over this attraction. yeah
You, you're under my skin
Don't know how it began but
Boy, you're playin' a dangerous game with me
And I think I'm gonna let you win
Coulda' started with your hands
The instant that they found my curves
I didn't stand a chance
Now you keep me up at night
I know that you're wrong for me, but
Oh you feel so right
Boy, you're driving me crazy
Beyond the point of distraction and
Makin' my good judgement hazy
Can't get over this attraction. yeah
You, you're under my skin
Don't know how it began but
Boy, you're playin' a dangerous game with me
And I think I'm gonna let you win
And when you say those words to me
My mind is on a single track and you are all I see
And when temptation has begun
I must admit, I can't resist
'Cause wanting you's just half the fun
Boy, you're driving me crazy
Beyond the point of distraction and
Makin' my good judgement hazy
Can't get over this attraction. yeah
You, you're under my skin
Don't know how it began but
Boy, you're playin' a dangerous game with me
And I think I'm gonna let you win
Let you win

I know it's crazy
That I miss your face when I see your face
Nearly every day
Still I can't escape that magic place
When we first embraced
How sweet the taste
Love
Like I never knew I'd know
Love
Like you do so well to show
Love
You make the love inside me grow
I'm so in love and I
Thought you'd like to know
I know it's foolish
That I doubted you, such a clouded view
Now the sun shines through
And I trust in you when it's just us two
And you trust me too
'Cause our hearts are true
Love
Like I never knew I'd know
Love
Like you do so well to show
Love
You make the love inside me grow
I'm so in love and I
Thought you'd like to know
Don't you know that love's the only way I know
How to say I'll go
Anywhere you take 'cause when we're together
Everywhere you make the best seem even better
Yeah
Mmmm
Love
Like I never knew I'd know
Love
Like you do so well to show
Love
You make the love inside me grow
I'm so in love and I
Thought you'd like to know
Love
Like I never knew I'd know
Love
Like you do so well to show
Love
You make the love inside me grow
I'm so in love and I
Thought you'd like to know
I'm so in love and I
Thought you'd like to know

The Request
04:23
|
|||
|
I know it's best
To say we are through
But my heart, my mind, my body, my soul ain't quite
Over you
Though you're on the fence with me
Please, put your body against me
For a little while
Just a little while
I know
You're not mine to keep
But the thought of ever losing you leaves me losing sleep
When you leave it aches and my broken body shakes
For a little while
And my heart
Can't take this abuse
But I know to walk away is no use
The spell you have me under
Gives no cause to wonder
When it comes to you
I cling to any excuse
Oh
Lonely days tear me down
And every night I hope it's the one you'll come around
Let yourself inside
Come and lay down by my side
For a little while
Just a little while
Oooh
And my heart
Oh, can't take this abuse
But I know to walk away is no use
The spell you have me under
Gives no cause to wonder
When it comes to you
I cling to any excuse
Oh
Lonely days tear me down
And every night I hope it's the one you'll come around
Let yourself inside
Come and lay down by my side
For a little while
Let yourself inside
Come and lay down by my side
For a little while

The Mess
03:24
|
|||
|
You won't fall in love
If you think she's gonna break your heart
What's gone away is gone for good
What's here right now is all that matters
I'm alive, I'm breathin' in
I'm wide awake, I'm dreamin'
What's yet to come I won't even guess
But you, you can't have a party
If you're worried about the mess
Why do we fight over small differences?
Life moves too quick to stick with past tenses
We can do anything, or nothing all
Learn all you can and you'll be oh-so smart
But you, you won't fall in love
If you think she's gonna break your heart
You move along, and what's left behind
The days will pass, like a memory slips your mind
You lose track of time
Mmmmmmm...
Mmmmmmm...

Harriet
You make my knees go weak
You tie my tongue so speaking is an impossibility
Harriet
I'm a fumbling fool
Whenever you walk by I still don't know why
But I can't speak to you
Girl, what you do
Keeps me wondering how you make those hips move
All I can say to you is
One day
Harriet
Gonna make you my wife
Gonna make an honest woman out of you
You are my whole life
Oooh Harriet
Won't you look my way?
Even though I'm shy
You know exactly why I smile for you each day
Girl, you know those eyes
They could kill me if you bat them twice
All I can say to you is
One day
Harriet
Now you're finally mine
I can see you're crazy
And ooh baby, it's gettin' worse with time
Oh! Harriet
Won't you let me be?
Can't I have my space in my own place
Where you don't hang off of me?
Girl, I'd run away
But I know you'd find me anyway
All I can say to you is
One day
Oh Harriet!
Listen to me!
Oh Harriet!
Won't you let me be?
Harriet
Ah, get off of me!
Harriet

What I Do
03:54
|
|||
|
I'm a cheat and I'm liar
I'm a spark without a fire
And I would drop you if I ever cared
To pick you up
I'm a joke and I'm a riot
I'm louder when I'm quiet
And I would break your heart
Just to watch you fix it up
Excuses never fit my lopsided actions
Hem up the seams and the holes, we'll patch 'em
Phrases that keep you at bay will always break through
'Cause that's what I do
'Cause that's what I do
I'm lost and I'm alone
You think we're close but you don't know
That somehow by the end of this
I'll make you cry
I'm a thief and I'm a crook
I'm a chapter with no book
And I would leave without a word
So I don't have to say 'goodbye'
Excuses never fit my lopsided actions
Hem up the seams and the holes, we'll patch 'em
Phrases that keep you at bay will always break through
'Cause that's what I do
'Cause that's what I do
I'm the calm before the storm
Consider yourself warned
You should walk away before you're forced
To turn and run
I'm the one that you should blame
And I'm not at all ashamed
To be the one left standing with
The smoking gun
Excuses never fit my lopsided actions
Hem up the seams and the holes, we'll patch 'em
Phrases that keep you at bay will always break through
'Cause that's what I do
'Cause that's what I do

Ghosts
05:26
|
|||
|
Standing still, so still
Eyes aware of all around you
You, you wait until
Softly spoken words arouse you
Oh
Wash away the pain
Sitting stoned in waves of silence
You sense when it's storming again
Begin to dodge any chance of violence
Oh
Play a melody for me
Let it entertain
All the ghosts that you see
Keeping emotions at bay
Defining the art of keeping quiet
Leaving the pieces where they lay
While inside, on rages the riot
Oh
You only come in the night
When I am fast asleep
Still unsure if it's you that I hold
In the dark or the dreams that I keep
Still, I can't help but smile
When I think of you
And every little subtle thing
That you do
Play a melody for me
Let it entertain
All the ghosts
That you see

If I Could
04:07
|
|||
|
Workin' all day trying to get you alone
When it's just you and me
I lay by your side while you scroll through your phone
You drift into a dream
Into a dream where you can smile
Off on your own, baby, where'd I go?
Am I there to hold your hand?
Would anybody understand?
I'm the one
I belong
I'm at home
And I'd stay in the warmth of your arms forever
If I could
Workin' all night trying to write you a song
And I'm stuck on a line
Love is the word that I've searched for so long
And it's hard to define
It's hard to define which way is up and down
When we're off on our own so deep in space
I'm not scared just hold my hand
I know that you would understand
I'm the one
I belong
I'm at home
And I'd stay in the warmth of your arms forever
If I could
If I could
Wouldn't it be the way that love's supposed to be?
Always singing oooh
But baby, would you love me if I sing off key?
If I can't find the harmony?
Would you still be the one who loves me?
I'm the one
I belong
I'm at home
And I'd stay in the warmth of your arms forever
If I could
If I could

Fan Favorite
02:20

The way you make my heart beat is painful
Out of my trembling lips words crawl
You were always destined to be beautiful
The world will work to shake you down 'til you fall
Go on sing me a ballad of the blues
And follow the song according to the music cues
Through the liquor and smoke I see your life fall apart
Your brown eyes are breaking my heart
I find it harder to find words to say
I just can't concentrate when you smile
And when you turn to look at me that way
I'm swept away from the world for a while
Go on sing me a ballad of the blues
And follow the song according to the music cues
Through the gossip and lies I saw your life fall apart
Your brown eyes are breaking my heart
And so they all love the love they have for you
Is it worth it? Are you happy?
Tell me, have all your dreams come true?
And as I watch from the crowd that you walk through
I turn and walk away knowing that waiting is all I can do
Go on and sing me a ballad of the blues
And follow the song according to the music cues
Through the viewing glass I watched your life fall apart
Your brown eyes are breaking my heart
Yes, your brown eyes are breaking my heart
Oh baby, look away
'Cause your brown eyes are breaking my heart

The Mask
05:39
|

|
I tried to be cool, but I came off as cold
Dripping in diamonds and covered in gold
Presented as a perfect picture to behold
But you left before the auction, or so I am told
So I told
Mmmm
The mask that I wear
Does me no good, no it does me no good anymore
Not that you should care, but if you understood
All the things that I needed it for
It was all a show
Don't you know when I left I had nowhere to go?
And to this day, I still don't know if I'm right
That I chose to walk away
'Cause I'm still here
I'm still here
I tried to be strong and forget what you said
Not to relive my downfalls as I lay down for bed
But with all these little voices that are locked inside my head
I don't know what's the truth or the lies I've been fed
I'm seeing red
Mmmm
The mask that I wear
Does me no good, no it does me no good anymore
Not that you should care, but if you understood
All the things that I needed it for
It was all a show
Don't you know when I left I had nowhere to go?
And to this day, I still don't know if I'm right
That I chose to walk away
'Cause I'm still here
I'm still here
Struggling to find my place in the world
Struggling to find forgiveness for the girl I once was
The girl I once loved
It was all a show
Don't you know when I left I had nowhere to go?
And to this day, I still don't know if I'm right
That I chose to walk away
But I'm still here
I'm still here

Suitcase and a Carry-On
03:50

Well, I don't wanna go but I don't know
What I'm doing here anymore
And I don't wanna leave but please believe me
You're the reason I came back at all
Now, I'm gonna go and I'm not gonna see
It'll be bad for a while, 'cause I'm gonna wanna see you
I'll pack all I own in a suitcase and a carry on
I'll grow wings and I'll fly out west
And I don't deserve a girl who's as half as sweet as you
Always just aimed for what I could get
Then I got you
Well, I don't wanna go 'cause I don't know
How to hold a love that I can't reach
And I don't wanna move away from you
'Cause a foot apart is far enough
Now, I'm gonna go and I'm not gonna see
It'll be bad for a while, 'cause I'm gonna wanna see you
I'll pack all I own in a suitcase and a carry on
I'll grow wings and I'll fly out west
And I don't deserve a girl who's as half as sweet as you
Always just aimed for what I could get
Then I got you
What am I doin'?
What've I done?
I traded love for California's sun
I traded love for California's sun
I traded love for California's sun
I guess it sounded like fun
Now, I'm gonna go and I'm not gonna see
It'll be bad for a while, 'cause I'm gonna wanna see you
I'll pack all I own in a suitcase and a carry on
I'll grow wings and I'll fly out west
And I don't deserve a girl who's as half as sweet as you
Always just aimed for what I could get
I never thought I'd get you
Don't ask me how I did it, baby
Don't ask me how I got you, baby

Hold Every Little Part
04:11

|
Hold every little part of me
Clutch me closer to your heart
Leave me breathless
With how much you care for me
Whisper in my ear
How you'll be there for me
Hold every little part of me
And whisk my worries all away
I found a hoe inside your beautiful heart
And with you help
That's where I'll always stay
For nothing seems to ring as true as true love
And everything it seems anew with new love
Hold every little part of me
And catch me as I lean in close
My heart is big as all the love in the world
And with your help
I could love you the most
For nothing seems to ring as true as true love
And everything it seems anew with new love
Hold every little part of me
And catch me as I lean in close
My heart is big as all the love in the world
And with your help
I could love you the most
