get home safe

feeling the absence of an ex-best friend as the
breeze on your porch at 12:30am
I think I’ll hit the road he said
and went along on his way
and I told him to get home safe
'cause without him I’d feel out of place
and I’d do anything just to see your face again
he’ll never tell me where he’s going next
and I’m not worried cause I know he’ll check
to make sure I’m okay on down the road
and it’s magic that he makes me sing
and I know he’s far but he is listening
and I’ll be there, when he gets back
with my arms out, cause it feels like, it feels like
home (it feels like home)
it feels like, it feels like home (it feels like home)
oh, you make me feel at home
I think that you feel like home
to be considered for the long drive down
put your hand in mine just like you love me now
out the window, my eyes, only break to see you smile
and I can’t help it when you call me that
I think you know that I’ll be back
and I’ll be there, I’ll be waiting
with my arms out, cause it feels like, it feels like
home (it feels like home)
it feels like, it feels like home (it feels like home)
oh, you make me feel at home
I think that you feel like home
feeling the absence of an ex-best friend as the
breeze on your porch at 12:30am
I think I’ll hit the road he said
and went along on his way

selfish, honey

and I can’t help it
for you I’d be selfish
your words stick to me
your words stick like honey
honest now babe, I wish I could’ve stayed
but we left behind all we had from that day
honest now love, won’t this hurt the most
I’m packing my bags and heading to the coast
oh babe, I can’t say it
oh babe, won’t you say it
and I can’t help it
for you I’d be selfish
your words stick to me
your words stick like honey
fighting now babe, I’m waging my way
I hope she gives you the time of day
tragically gone, my head and my song
you’ve left me with nothing for the next one
oh babe, I can’t say it
oh babe, won’t you say it
and I can’t help it
for you I’d be selfish
your words stick to me
your words stick like honey
like honey
my honey
oh honey

blue car
03:50

oh how our lives passed but didn’t intersect
as we stopped at the stoplight just for a sec
a couple years back that would’ve been me
the girl sitting next to you in the driver’s seat
for a moment we were close but you didn’t see
I was one car away in my own front seat
the light turned green you drove off in a rush
and I told myself that it didn’t mean much
cause I know, you didn’t see
if I met her now I’m not sure we’d be friends
she was riddled with doubt and obsessed with the trends
insecure in her words, afraid she won’t be heard
there was something about her, 'bout what she deserves
oh and you took that from her
but you won’t take that from me
blue car, blue car, blue car, blue car
coulda been me
blue car, blue car, blue car, blue car
you didn’t see
is it too soon to tell, throw a wish down the well
I will see her again in some time
follow the light with the road by my side
I am left with no choice but to drive
cause I know, you didn’t see
cause I know, you didn’t see
blue car, blue car, blue car, blue car
coulda been me
blue car, blue car, blue car, blue car
glad it’s not me
blue car, blue car, blue car, blue car
coulda been me
blue car, blue car, blue car, blue car
you didn’t see
blue car, blue car
blue car, blue car
blue car, blue car
blue car, blue car

love song for birds
03:59
|
|||
|
I watch the birds atop the chimney on the building next to mine
I leave my window open just to breathe the air and feel the sky
if there were reasons, I would hear them turn away and go back inside
don't say too much before the mirrors come to tell you that they're right
but now it's all said and done
return the glasses to where they're from
a planted seed of light above you
tell the world that my love is true
go past the days they're always gray until the sunshine hits my face
if I could choose I'd be with you and we'd be dancing in the rain
you would've known just what to do
I'll paint the room and wait for you to come and knock upon my door
can't help but wonder, let it thunder
let it wash away the things I couldn't say to you before
but now it's all said and done
return the glasses to where they're from
a planted seed of light above you
tell the world that my love is true
don't believe me, I can see it
try to whisper but you scream it
do they know it's not about you?
tell the world that my love is true
my love is true, my love is true
