Don't Let Me Run Away

The things I've been told, the things that grow old
Are one in the same
The things that we hear, the people we're near
Are so easy to blame
How can you find out the way to my heart everyday
Are you so inclined to?
Slip from the fight or be here all night
If you have a mind to
Don't let me run away
Don't let me run away
Don't let me run away
Convince me to stay here tonight
It's a struggle to find the reasons to be kind
Stumbling to fall at your feet
If our thoughts are so sure
Our intentions so pure
What is there left to complete?
It's the same old regrets that I had when we met
Some feelings we're blind to
I've been through this before walked through that same door
Will you take me through?

It's amazing to me, how easy it was
Don't need a reason, just give me a cause
Those looks can tell me my reasons for this
Stop telling me all the things that I missed
You know some men laugh, laugh at their dreams
They don't know what they've seen
You can live your life looking to find
What's on your mind
Don't give in, your mind has not learned to win
The tables are turning again
Do you know, know where you've been?
The silence of grace on this unshaken earth
Gives me a reason to believe in my worth
I look at you now, you still look the same
It's more than the danger that makes it a game
It's amazing to me the boundaries of love
Cuts like a knife, fits like a glove

Take A Look At Me
03:35

He's loser we both know
Every time you're together it's the same old show
You say you will, he says he won't
You said “I do”, he said “I don't”
I'm asking you baby, take a look at me
Take a look at me, baby take a look at me
Take a good look and see
Take a look at me, baby take a look at me
Take a good look and see
I'm on the outside looking in
If I could just play the game I could surely win
You're in my head, You're in my heart
Just say you're ready, ready to start
I'm asking you baby, take a look at me
There was a time I'd see your face
Under the spell of your amazing grace
Too far, too fast, too quick
The future was something I could not predict
You're in my head, You're in my heart
Just say you're ready, ready to start
I'm asking you baby, take a look at me

Ride The Wheel
04:22
|

I wanna see you again tonight
I wanna make sure things are right
Can I believe your words are true
Look at the smile of the fading moon
Maybe the dance ended too soon
Part of the memory in your eyes
Keeps telling me that you won't lie
(Can I believe my mind)
(Could you be so kind)
I've never felt this kind of anticipation
My heart's gonna ride the wheel tonight
Take me to the top take me outta sight
My heart's gonna ride the wheel tonight
Take me in the dark, take me in the light
How fast the green changes to red
Don't try and look to far ahead
I'll keep my hope right in it's place
It's a game of chance, a game of dare
It's showing just how much we care
A little compassion would do fine
If that's what it takes I'll make you mine
(Can I believe my mind)
(Could you be so kind)
I've never felt this kind of anticipation

The Long Road
04:55
|

When the neon lights your playground
Where your feet hit you call home
When the only thing that you know
Is the meaning of alone
When the facts you hear are all lies
Your face don't smile it just bites
It's time to think about checking in
To the place that makes it all right
You're thinking that you have it made
When you share her for a night
The morning comes and burns you
Loves match cannot ignite
You try to listen to your heart
Tell me what has it been fed
The things you order are deadly
Do you follow for being led
Love is not a game
I can play alone
And it never works when I try
You know we're on the long road
God knows how I love you
You're either shaken or your stirred
There's got to be a way to reach you
I will live to see you cured

See For Yourself
05:04
|

Don't see love
Don't feel love
Don't know why
Don't care why
I'll do unto you
Just like you did unto me
Do me favor
Don't try to deceive
You could not see for yourself
The pain I was going through
You could not see for yourself
Have you been where I am now
(You may never know)
Can I take you there somehow
(You can never know)
Don't take the hard road out
You got your pride
You got my pride
You got your truth
You got mine too
You be yours
I can't be mine
There is something
Trying to shine

The Cycle
05:37
|

And so it goes, and so we grow
I wonder what she knows
Inside her stare, does she still care
About the things that she'll leave behind
When you sit in the dark
Does your memory still spark?
From all the love that stood
Did you see what I see? Did you bleed when I bleed?
In someways we're all the same
I dreamed last night of a beautiful light
It is the cycle of life
We all move on, someone else comes along
To live our lives again
And the cycle keeps turning and the people keep learning
How the cycle keeps moving them on
There's a river of raindrops that will flow til the pain stops
Then take me the long way back home
And the cycle keeps moving and there's no need for proving
The fact that we all can belong
See the fortune of children as they run by the millions
And the cycle of life becomes done
When I fade away will another one stay
To live out what we know
It's sad to conclude, if you don't know the truth
Believe me I'll always love you

Call It Even
03:52
|

When I think about our past
When I think about how it would last
I just want to close the door
To see what else there is in store
Well I know I threw some words at you
They flew without a care
I want to find some middle ground
And breathe the cleaner air
Let's call it even baby
Let's call it even, even if we're hurtin' and grievin'
Let's call it even baby
Now I'm roaming through these dusty halls
Clean it up and see what's left at all
Thinking of all the things we gave
Thinking about all of the things to save
If you look behind the broken heart
You might see a dream come true
You decide on what to feel
When you're left with only you
Walk away satisfied
Walk away on your side

How Can We Forget
05:17
|
|||
I'm a long time away from you
Everything still seems strong
Thinking we're the journey
Down a road that's long
Why didn't it last that long
We moved on to other things
What I hoped was for the best
It's the learning experience
That gives us the greatest test
Does our picture stare you down
I hear it still hangs on your wall
My imagination says
That we haven't changed at all
Why haven't we changed at all
We could never say goodbye
We just kinda faded away
We people ask about us now
I tell them that's why I pray
How can we forget...
If faith had a hand, I'd take it
If love wants a stand, I'll make it
How can we forget...

Things Get Better
04:46
|

I remember a time
Pain was a fresh thing in our minds
I remember a place
Where the kingdom come brought us face to face
The photographs that you save
Can make you think of a darker day
But the memories that you take
Will be like a dream coming for your sake
Things get better...
So keep me around
Don't let yourself down
Hear what the sound of the laughter means
Take a walk with me
We could be looking into a soulless sea
But if you want to believe
Then a single smile won't let you grieve
You will be here for a while
So speak to me just like a child
And it won't be long, you'll find out
This priceless gift is your last train out
