The first single off of the
forthcoming album entitled Anywhere You Take Me

lyrics

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 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 at all
Learn all you can and you'll be oh-so smart
But you won't fall in love
If you think she's gonna break your heart

You move along
What's left behind?
The days will pass
Like a memory slips your mind
You'll lose track of time
