Harbor

why can't you see that you're not alone?
if it's shelter your seeking, you can always come home
I wanna hear your footsteps or just your knock on my door
if it's a harbor you're needing, I will open my arms
you don't have to worry, oh don't you start to doubt
if it's guidance your searching, then let me light your path
why can't you see you don't have to face this alone?
if it's shelter your seeking, you can always come home
I wanna hear your footsteps or just your knock on my door
if it's a harbor you're needing, I will open my arms
if it's a harbor you're needing, come run in my arms
if it's a harbor you're needing, I will open my arms

Here
04:03
|

staring at this waterfront and I'm lost in it
these photographs don't have your voice, your thoughts, your sins
should I learn to let go?
when the heart says no
and love I'll take anything you'll give
erase the thoughts, forget my name I want to say
does my light shine dim this far away?
list full of commitments
but love don't you hesitate
we could blame it on bad timing
what good does it do?
we could blame it on bad timing
but I'm still without you
the sea will rise you'll start to shake and lose your grip
pulling at the threads that align, the heart, the stitch
when the sun turns cold and you feel alone
love I'll still be right here
we could blame it on bad timing
what good does it do?
we could blame it on bad timing
but I'm still without you

Didn't Ask Me To
03:57
|
|||
I would have ran to you
breathless but brand new
busted up, broken outside
I would've let in your light
and I would have loved you with all of this heart
I would have loved you with all of this heart
but you didn't ask me to
I would have waited
took shelter in your hands
your face, your touch, your skin
I would've let you in
and I would have loved you with all of this heart
I would have loved you with all of this heart
but you didn't ask me to
so go on now wash your hands clean
darling I still believe
go on now wash your hands clean
darling I still believe
that I would have loved you with all of this heart
I would have loved you with all of this heart
and I would have waited
I would've let you in

Black Dogs
05:30
|
|||
cold winds from the north blew down
time came in and let you hold go
it's grown over, scabbed up by now
still I worry for you, I worry for you
haze of orange warmth through the blinds
soldiers to keep the black dogs at bay
now out of sight but your, your on my mind
still I grew from you, I grew from you
the morning is brand new
the morning is
still carrying stones, the forgiveness
I gave you something but it's not enough
I had only love for you, only love
carrying stones, the forgiveness
I gave you something but it's not enough
I had only love for you, only love for you
mapped it out straight to release
there, pressed against the evening sun
said, "if you choose to, set yourself free."
still I don't blame you, I don't blame you
the morning is brand new
the morning is
still carrying stones, the forgiveness
I gave you something but it's not enough
I had only love for you, only love
still carrying stones the forgiveness
I gave you something but it's not enough
I had only love for you, only love for you
for you.

Nora
03:21
|
|||
another year gone by
oh how the time lies
my mothers voice on my mind
the day he left
if we could tether all these ties
and roll the stone away
I just want to believe in anything
Nora, love I don't want to hurt you
seen your fair share before
Nora, not sure I deserve you
what victory's been won?
Nora, blinded by your virtue
seems the walls are stacking up
Nora, please don't desert me
when the time comes
when the time comes
what an honor to have played a part of your life
just remember to let you guard down and let the light in sometime

What I Came Here For
03:15
|
|||
I guess I overstayed my welcome
been following paper trails you left me
with this match in my palm I'm trying to stay calm
think I'll burn it all down and not feel nothing
I never asked for you to fix me
though you would be broken with me
well I've mended myself without your help
how long before you notice I'm missing?
well I've made up my mind for the very first time
and I don't wanna hear your name anymore
rip the heart from my sleeve, don't mean nothing to me
I forgot what I came here for
well I'm not trying to lay you with blame
just seems there's no effort remaining
if your flag starts waving, if your ship is going down
know I won't be around to save you
I've grown a bit but no older
it doesn't matter how much I was hoping
that you'd come to the terms and finally learn
about the man whose heart you've been holding
well I've made up my mind for the very last time
and I don't wanna hear your name anymore
rip the heart from my sleeve, don't mean a goddamn thing to me
I forgot what I came here for
you weren't calling to me, I was listening
if your arms reached for me I didn't see them
with the words that we spoke, were we touching souls?
neither one of us could believe it

Broken Open
05:25
|
|||
there's anchors around my feet and there's water on the spark
will it keep me down?
and the trail goes chasing left and I've lost all of direction
am I almost found?
you said, "keep your head held high."
well I will be, I'll be burying mine
cause I don't like what I'm becoming, this bottle seems to drink itself
told me you would come running if ever I needed help
well I'm broken open now
I'm broken open now
you're talking like some stranger, like we never knew each other
did you know me at all?
and as the smoke plumes above I wonder if you're thinking of me
do you eve think of me at all?
you said, "keep your head held high."
well I will be, I'll be burying mine
cause I don't like what I'm becoming, this bottle seems to drink itself
told me you would come running if ever I needed help
well I'm broken open now
I'm broken open now

Leave It Like This
04:49
|
|||
were you waiting? did I overstep some bounds?
were you calling? was I nowhere to be found?
and I was selfish, knew the lines I played the part
but you weren't helpless, thought I could save you from the dark
you gave me the words, showed me I could be strong
that I could be right when everyone else was wrong
your voice is now fading and I'm talking to the shadows on the wall
and I can't drink you away, can't replace this loss at all
it's been raining all night showing no sign of letting up
I know the time has come, your love is lost, the well's done dried up
I'll try to learn to forget just don't leave it, don't leave it like this
were we lying to ourselves? were we lost?
was it fire? or were we caught up in the thought?
and you were roaming oh but I was standing still
held back by these waters, I was only trying to be near
you gave into distance, set on silence there's nothing left
still in search of believe if only a glimpse of it
am I now fading? I know I should be moving on
I'll pretend that you don't exist if that is what you want
it's been raining all night showing no sign of letting up
I know the time has come, your love is lost, the well's done dried up
I'll try to learn to forget just don't leave, don't leave it like this
I'll try to learn to forget but please don't leave it, don't leave it like this

Where You Belong
04:54
|
|||
you had it out but I never really wanted you to know
when time reveals itself
I will grit my teeth and just keep my eyes closed
because no blue burns quite as bright
pouring out past the windows far from sight
but let it go, let it go, let it go
your fate stands in place, it's where you belong
summer swells, only your bare feet completely stained with grass
flooded by memories, we are young, it's all I've done to hurry back
because no green feels quite as calm
touched the surface had life hidden in my palms
but let it go, let it go, let it go
your fate doesn't wait, it's where you belong
excavation
brought up with purpose, found the hurt could just burn away
I'm still with you, though in the background blowing past now,
keep that smile on your face
because no white carries quite as warm
I would swear I'd been there held in your arms
but let it go, let it go, let it go
your fate can't replace, it's where you belong
there's no more hiding in your bones
does it feel like home?
there's no more hiding in your bones
does it feel like home?

Years
04:14
|
|||
in dawn we drove
peering past snow
headlights shone over fields
burning holes in the hills
bought the sold
weren't fearing anymore
repletion, finally sealed
holding on to these years
but keep on growing if we grow apart
keep on growing if we grow apart
keep on growing if we grow apart
keep on growing if we grow apart
in lines we spoke
breath hinted smoke
draining bottles dry
found and beyond alive
but keep on growing if we grow apart
keep on growing if we grow apart
keep on growing if we grow apart
keep on growing if we grow apart

Used To This
03:53
|
|||
the windows are open and there's a breeze blowing in
the one thing I've learned is you've gotta know when enough is enough
and I buried that past out in the back yard
defeated my demons found it wasn't as hard as I thought
I'm feeling brave again
finally awake and the dark showed its face but now it's gone
for the first time in a long time I'm wearing a smile instead
I could get used to this
she's heading west I say, "just tell me when."
the heat in this car and the sweat on her skin is enough I know
cause I dug up the truth out in the back yard
found out happiness wasn't as far as I thought it was
I'm feeling brave again
finally awake and the dark showed its face but now it's gone
for the first time in a long time I'm not counting the miles ahead
I could get used to this
I'm feeling brave again
finally awake and the dark showed its face but now it's gone
for the first time in a long time I'm free from where I've been
I could get used to this
for the first time in a long time I'm free from where I've been
I could get used to this
