Weight 04:18
heartbreak, that's the first that you'll take to understand the weight of this world. the weight of this world, you'll never know. mistakes, promised me that you'll make to love me and to learn how to leave. to learn how to go, i've always been told. love yourself enough to know that love can win this war. it's not the first time. it's not the last time. but what's good is good indeed.

Paper Clouds 05:16
as I come home and my journey concludes I find myself thinking of you. I step on the porch, put my hands on the door, rack my brain for the life that we knew. the memories are there but the room is bare. how could this emptiness fill up my hurt? the floorboards creak to the sound of the beat of the clock that once watched us sleep. and heavy is rain that pours down when it's cold. don't close off the window to your heart, the sun'll make it home. the sun'll make it home. and the paper clouds, they don't have to blow away. for you and me, they'll still find a place to stay. i keep my wind chimes near when your cloud flies here. don't worry, this cloudy sky will clear, this cloudy sky will clear. i still remember that day in september when you told me you were to leave. that heart in the corner that we drew together. now i see that one half is gone. it's been five years and the weather has changed. pretty sure your cloud's outta sight. but after the rain, it's always new life. I think another cloud's passing by.

you know this day is for two people. you know this life is meant to be. and i can't forsee the future but i know it's you and me. yeah i know it's you and me. oh baby can't you see. days into weeks, weeks into months, months into pages I can't fill up fast enough. and it seems like the back of my pencil is gone. i'm trying to stand still, i'm trying to hold on to things in my mind that i wished i had said. but when time moves on ahead i can't. i'm flipping it once, i'm flipping it twice, i'm flipping it three times you say that's alright. you write from the heart, i write from the head you got me fixed up now i want you so bad. you're taking the pen, you're making some changes to the book i've been hiding so long. as long as you're there for me, you care for me, now i'm free. hold on to the wheel, take a deep breath live in the moment you don't know what's next. how can i know how this ends today? i'm trying to stand still, i'm trying to hold on to things in my mind that i know hold me back. but i look across the room and you smile.

Ninth Street 05:29
clean up these streets, clean up the streets of my mind oh, girl you just take your time you know it's true, i'm sometimes no good for you but don't look at me, look at the man, the man i want, i want to be i come by your place round 5 i open the door and i see you smiling back at me you pull me with open arms feels like i've been gone too long you understand, you hold my hand you know what i mean when i always act the fool, i'm never perfect now i wanna see what's beneath so meet me on ninth street we're walking in open air, going to who knows where we see the clouds part and the sky break i'm not used to this love you give you tell me to hold this your heart in a cup i, i don't wanna spill but you know that i'll be a better man you see the best in me now i know what's beneath so meet me on ninth street

Do I Know Me 04:01
what am i thinking, is my head up in the clouds? am i in yesterday, is that where i'll lose myself in the crowd? as always i'm thinking, i'm the hero of my own mind. but future please love me, i'm naive but i don't know my way do i know me, do i know me do i know you, do i know you i know you try to find me but please believe i'm trying to find myself i know it's hard to love me but just believe and i'll be there
6.
Comfort 05:06
sit right down at that fireplace just enough room for some breathing space time and time again time is not my friend, it never ends pull up your blanket to your knees feel that warm and shallow breeze keeps you safe and sound keep it all around turn off the lights and say goodnight once more all i need is you beside me once more, oh and that gives me comfort, comfotable comfort comfort, comfortable maybe some comfort is all i'm ever asking for the way your hair falls to the side the sight of you in every twilight close your eyes all the way i'm here to stay drive, drive away into the night underneath the dark and spotted sky lay out all your fears lay them right here i start to fade again, letting me go you pull me back to you your love aglow on and on and on is never too far but all my pain and walls are falling apart inside your arms
7.
and i'm sitting on a rock looking at the sun dance low beneath me waiting for a soul to come and meet me anxious, weary, and dry my restless mind keeps moving passed me by and i sit still i think of all the things i want all the things i think i'll never have and i'm trying to hit the pause again is it wrong for me to want a second chance i wanna find my way back home now can't you see now bread and butter you know best, you know best how can i be without you loving me red bread and butter i hear you calling my name then you turn around always giving me faith bread and butter got my head in the clouds when i roam too far pulling me to the ground turn me into gold, something that shines and sometimes i don't even think when i wander off the path of green and golden pull my window down just enough to hear the sound of a thousand people saying who they've found
8.
future, future's got me on the ground thinking i should leave without a sound it's got me trapped it's got me, got me by the neck i see the light turn and run and don't look back but then you tell me it's okay you've got me in your love ray worry, worry makes my head on fire it's killing me slowly burning my desire but you're my rock and you've got you've got me in your love ray gotta get down, got to get down gotta get down, gotta get down in your love ray it's got me hypnotized it's got me loving you tonight you've got me in your love ray

Hello Friend 04:34
hello friend, i haven't seen you here before how's your heart, is it losing all control? i gotta say, you're looking all the worse for wear you hear that voice, i see it whispering in your ear it goes like, "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh" love to hate and hate to love yourself sometimes don't look now, you're leaving all of it behind give me your ear and i'll give you my silhouette and tiny shadows dancing in the quiet darkness of your rest speak the words, the words you know you need to say i'm listening now, i'll tell you everything's okay it's not wrong, it's not bad to feel this way and who you are is not defined by yesterday it's been years, i know it's been too much to hold but i love that smile and i love to watch that heart of gold it's coming out, it's inching closer step by step just reach for me, only heaven knows what's next
10.
light in the morning hits my eyes moon, hello and goodbye i wake up and i tell myself, it's gonna be alright i wake up and i tell myself, it's gonna be alright one last look around the room stretch my legs, throw off the sheets pour some honey and some tea i take a breath and tell myself, i've got someone ot be i take a breath and tell myself, that someone is me we are people, not always perfect always kind we can't fight what heaven tells us that we are inside understand, that in our life there's no rewind but trust in Him, in Him your joy you'll always find the door so close that you can reach turn the knob and be free let yourself be filled with light and finally peace let yourself be filled with light and finally see
11.
i'm riding on a wave to yesterday where love and only love it can remain how do you think i feel, how do you think i feel, how do you think i feel? two looks to the right i'm in the car it's got me wondering where the hell you are my mind's on the run, my mind's on the run, i don't think it's done i let it wander, wander, wander off keeping my head down, head down but it's not enough playing a game of cat and mouse where the mouse just won't give up i won't lose you to me, i won't lose you to me i won't lose i won't lose you now "thinking out loud" playing on the drive eyes are open as the day ignites light of a thousand stars, light of thousand stars, going to where you are oh baby oh no, no, no it's just you and me and me and you we're dancing 'round the fire and we said we'd meet at ten but i'm here and i'm just wondering where the time you gave me went where the time you gave me went where the time you gave me went where did it all go was it tell or was it show will i ever really know what it meant i'm riding on a wave

about

These tracks are the culmination of a couple years of work, smiles and laughter from friends from all places, and the support of a very special person. I hope you pick out the love, life, and thoughts in the songs you're about to hear.
