You can’t outrun your shadow
Believe me because I’ve tried
And a change in your reflection
Don’t change a thing that’s inside

I know its painful to remember
But the past is there to help us learn
Like the child who hurts his finger
Before believing that fire burns

I would not have gotten up
If you had not let me fall
No I would not have gotten up
If you had not given me room to fall

Sometimes the destination
Don’t mean as much as what brought you there
All the wrong turns I’ve made
Were the only way to get me here

I would not have gotten up
If you had not let me fall
No I would not have gotten up
If you had not given me room to fall

You picked me up by letting me fall

I would not have gotten up
If you had not let me fall
No I would not have gotten up
If you had not given me room to fall

I need direction because I don’t know where I am
Can’t find the doorway and this straight line just won’t bend
There’s no top to this ladder I’ve climbed
My life is ending with every wasted hour of time

Pull me out
Hang me to dry
Built these walls with all the stones I’ve thrown
Tear them down
So I can see
Who I wanted to be

This self-seeking world has made me hard to find
Every house on my street looks just like mine

Pull me out
Hang me to dry
Built these walls with all the stones I’ve thrown
Tear them down
So I can see
Who I wanted to be

As a child told to follow my dreams
It’s hard because as we grow older we’re questioned when we try

Pull me out
Hang me to dry
Built these walls with all the stones I’ve thrown
Tear them down
So I can see
Who I wanted to be

My sheets still smell like your perfume
On the side of the bed where you used to lay
Left your key and a torn paper note
In blue ink "I’m sorry" is all you could say

But I will be alright
I will be alright
And I hope that he’s with you
Holding you tight
But I hope you’re lonely tonight

I try not to think about you
But I’m scared that I might forget
The clothes you left piled on the floor
Wait like memories I can’t throw away

But I will be alright
I will be alright
And I hope that he’s with you
Holding you tight
But I hope you’re lonely tonight

So tonight when I lay my head down
Without the true love I thought I had found
I’ll pretend that I don’t love you anymore
If I can

But I will be alright
Yes I will be alright
And I hope that he's with you
Holding you tight
But I hope you're lonely tonight

But I still wish I was the one with you
That you’re holding tight
So I wouldn’t be lonely tonight

A life of let me downs
I’ve had to live
The world I grew up for
I had to give
Lost in a routine
The sand in my shoes
Forgotten every night
That I lie by you
That I lie by you

I am the man who’s followed his dreams
Who’s been all the places I’ve never seen
I am the man that I want to be
When you’re lying next to me

Broken promises
I’ve had to take
And possibilities
I’ve had to fake
Choices that I’ve made
I can’t undo
Forgotten every night
That I lie by you
That I lie by you

I am the man who’s followed his dreams
Who’s been all the places I’ve never seen
I am the man that I want to be
When you’re lying next to me
I feel like I am finally someone
Who can do all the things I haven’t done
I am the man that I want to be 
When you’re lying next to me
Hold on to me

I am the man who’s followed his dreams
Who’s been all the places I’ve never seen
I am the man that I want to be
When you’re lying with me
I feel like I am finally someone
Who can do all the things I haven’t done
I am the man that I want to be 
When you’re lying next to me

The sink is empty and still leaks water
I count the time by every drop that falls
The grass is high how you like it
I can see it tickle your ankles now
The screen door is screaming at me
It’s the only thing I’ve talked to in days

Sorry I’m late but I bought these for you
Plastic flowers for your bed
Someday soon I’ll be by your side
And your flowers will never die

Our house smells like burnt coffee
I always save a cup for you
I can’t turn the light off to your closet
Or the room where you taught me to love

Sorry I’m late but I bought these for you
Plastic flowers for your bed
Someday soon I’ll be by your side
And your flowers will never die

Sorry I'm late but I bought these for you

Blessed are those who can forget
And all those who haven’t been hurt yet
But I am damned, there’s nothing I can do
Because I fell in love with you

Do I ever cross your mind
Do I ever cross your mind
Cause I can’t seem to get you out of mine

I won’t you to know that I am not well
Riding memories in circles on your carrousel
You’ll never miss me the way I miss you
Because the love of my life is just a girl I once knew

Do I ever cross your mind
Do I ever cross your mind
Cause I can’t seem to get you out of mine

Hell on earth ain’t hard to find
But you can save me from mine
Stop the time’s bayonet
From stabbing all that’s delicate

I won’t be afraid of growing old
If I have you hand to hold
I’m looking for eternity
Will you find it with me

Please stay awhile
Show me how to smile
Please stay awhile

I am not a great man
But I’ll give you all I can
I’ll be the lashes on your eyes
Catch every tear that you cry

Please stay awhile
Show me how to smile
Please stay awhile

Let’s fill this room with empty coffee cups so we don’t ever have to go to sleep
Because if I close my eyes I fear tomorrow won’t let this day repeat

My life’s been filled with turned out lights and haunted by the hurt of closing doors
Let’s turn the locks and lose the keys because I don’t want them open anymore

I see you in an antique wedding gown and me slowly walking down the aisle
Won’t you be the mother of my child so I can see you every time she smiles

So please stay awhile
Please stay awhile

Backwater rising
Flooding the fields
The levee is broken
Soon the crops will drown
Who is this stranger
Wearing my face
I need an anchor
To hold my place

Feel the water pulling at my feet
Trying to take away myself from me
But I won’t be the one to shed my skin
To find the end you have to begin somewhere

Lost my dice in the river
Betting quarters at a time
The sickness of wanting
What’s not mine
Empty bottles and road signs
One traffic light
Just waiting on the right shade of green

Feel the water pulling at my feet
Trying to take away myself from me
But I won’t be the one to shed my skin
To find the end you have to begin somewhere

Feel the water
Feel the water now
Feel the water I won't shed my skin
Feel the water now
Because I finally love myself

The house is still standing
Rotting slow in tall weeds
But you can still find shelter
In the limbs of dead trees

This is the last time I’ll let you say goodbye
Don’t come crawling back saying you want to try
Because I’ve fallen for your tears before
Just to watch you walk back out my door

And I can’t take anymore
I can't take anymore

I won’t break again
And I won’t care, care about where you’ve been
I see there names in your eyes
But one day you’ll realize
And regret the memory
That you only loved me
When you were lonely

This is the last time I’ll let you say goodbye
Don’t call when there’s no one to lie beside
Don’t waste your breath in letters I won’t read
Cause there is nothing in your promises that I need

I can’t take anymore
I can't take anymore

I won’t break again
And I won’t care, care about where you’ve been
I see there names in your eyes
But one day you’ll realize
And regret the memory
That you only loved me
When you were lonely

I can't take anymore
No I won't take anymore

I won’t break again
And I won’t care, care about where you’ve been
I see there names in your eyes
But one day you’ll realize

I am young, I am old
I am everything I have been told
I am the shepherd, I am the sheep
I am a lion too scared to sleep

I 
I am
I am not 
I am not with you
So I am nothing at all

I am a whisper, I am a scream
I’m the regret after waking from a dream
I am fiction, I am sincere
I am sadness with a smile’s veneer

I 
I am
I am not 
I am not with you
So I am nothing at all

I am concrete, I am glass
I am the present pissed on the past
I am nothing at all

I am adored, I am alone
I am an orphan in my home
I am nothing at all

I am broken, I am whole
I am love out of control
I am nothing at all

I’m absolution, I am a fist
A memory that won’t be missed
I am nothing at all

Got a mouth full of cotton and prescription pills
But there ain’t a medication for the way I feel
White coats, a straight jacket, and padded walls
But a nurse and a needle can’t keep me calm

Cause I’m not going crazy
I wish that were true
No I’m not going crazy
I’m just crazy over you

It’s hard to want a woman and still stay wise
A fine line between love and a man’s lost mind
The doctor says I’m tired and need to rest
But he’s never seen you dancing in your Sunday dress

I’m not going crazy
I wish that were true
No I’m not going crazy
I’m just crazy over you

Still see you sitting here even though you’re gone
But I'll take hallucinations over being alone

So I might be a little crazy
But we all are it’s true
Yes I might be a little crazy
But I’m just crazy over you

Baby take off your coat
And I’ll loosen my tie
You are far too beautiful
For us to turn off the lights

Your December skin
And a trail of our clothes
You can keep your socks on
If your feet are cold

But I don’t want to have to ask permission
Give me a chance
It won’t be perfect, just an unbroken promise from
An imperfect man

Your red wind tongue
My sudden loss of breath
You like the sound of my heartbeat
 When you lay your head on my chest

But I don’t want to have to ask permission
Give me a chance
It won’t be perfect, just an unbroken promise from
An imperfect man
So draw all the curtains, all the goodbyes are gone
Love found through love gone wrong
An unbroken promise from a broken man
To love you the best that I can
Baby, please

Take off your coat
And I’ll turn up the lights
Cause baby I’ve made plans
To stay the rest of my life

Broken whisper I can hear you crying tonight
Empty words and arms can’t make it alright
You’ve run out of questions without answers to hold
For the cold caress of helplessness inside you

But let me comfort you
Comfort you

You’re losing hope in little memories everyday
The red hairs on the floor are being swept away
Well I can’t fix what’s broken but I’ll hold the pieces in place
Just let me put my loving arms around you

And let me comfort you
Comfort you

We’ll load your gun with silver bullets
To kill the monsters in your room
A kiss to wash the ashes from your mouth
Your bleeding knees of prayer
Pressed lips against your heart
Dance with your shadow in the open doorway lights

I’ll protect you as you lay there helpless in sleep
From the heartbreaking flowers in the Magnolia trees
Don’t let your life forget to forgive what it has done
Don’t let it take the love left inside you

And let me comfort you
Comfort you

You look so good when you’re dancing
I watch you spill your drink on the tops of your shoes
You look so good when you’re dancing
Can I have this dance with you for the rest of my life

All your crooked teeth
Make a perfect smile
I’d buy a wall full of clocks 
If it would stop time for awhile
I love to watch your mouth
Move with the words of the songs
And I don’t care 
If they’re right or wrong

You look so good when you’re dancing
I watch you spill your drink on the tops of your shoes
You look so good when you’re dancing
Can I have this dance with you for the rest of my life

Love is like water
Shaped from the shores that it meets
Your delicate fingers
And my two left feet
Me in my stiff Sunday clothes
Pressed starched pants
We’ll keep the light at our backs
And watch our shadows hold hands
Please hold my hand

Because you look so good when your dancing
I watch you spill your drink on the tops of your shoes
You look so good when your dancing
Can I have this dance with you for the rest of my life
Can I have this dance with you
Can I have this dance with you
For the rest of my life
