Boxcar
03:28

Been stowed away on this boxcar for quite some time We planned to ride it all the way from Maine to Anaheim But things change and people do too; my company is gone I could choose to step off and make my way back home, or I could choose to keep moving on
My time has come and gone, maybe I overstayed my welcome But I’ve outgrown this boxcar, and I’m headed down the rails I’m headed down the rails again
For months on end I’ve been traveling, along for the ride Colored the smokies, braved the Rockies, and rolled the hills of the countryside But things change and people do too; this freight train has run its course But I’m still gonna make it out West, so I’ll hop on a new line with no remorse
My time has come and gone, maybe I overstayed my welcome But I’ve outgrown this boxcar, and I’m headed down the rails I’m headed down the rails again
I’ve seen so much beauty from inside this boxcar But I’m headed down the rails again and moving on
My time has come and gone, maybe I overstayed my welcome But I’ve outgrown this boxcar
My time has come and gone, maybe I overstayed my welcome But I’ve outgrown this boxcar, and I’m headed down the rails I’m headed down the rails again
I’m headed down the rails again I’m headed down the rails again inside this boxcar

Letting Go
03:55
|
|||
|
Turning my back on what wasn’t meant to be Moving on from what I wanted to see Fought for so long and wasted all my energy And now just like that it’s all turned to debris
Like blowing a dandelion into the wind Like releasing a firefly with the best of them Your clarity has loosened my grip
I’m letting go, I’m letting go No longer chained to what I tried to see Released my fists and now my heart has been set free I’m letting go, I’m letting go
Been so afraid to lose the security Even though it’s obvious there was a scarcity Your words delivered as if I was some charity And now I’m going forward on your insincerity
Like blowing a dandelion into the wind Like releasing a firefly with the best of them Your clarity has loosened my grip
I’m letting go, I’m letting go No longer chained to what I tried to see Released my fists and now my heart has been set free I’m letting go, I’m letting go
Like blowing a dandelion into the wind Like releasing a firefly with the best of them Your clarity has loosened my grip I’m letting go, I’m letting go No longer chained to what I tried to see Released my fists and now my heart has been set free No longer chained to what I tried to see Released my fists and now my heart has been set free
I’m letting go
I’m letting go
I’m letting go
I’m letting go

Blue Eyes
03:39

I saw you standing there, outside that little cafe You looked me in the eye and it took my breath away Oh blue eyes, your voice was so sweet I may never see your face again, but you’ll be my song on repeat
Blue eyes, you had me at hello Blue eyes, do you really have to go Oooo, oooo, blue eyes
I’ll never forget those few hours of bliss Strolling the streets, under the lights, your smile is what I’ll miss Oh blue eyes, why did you have to live so far away Take a load off, put your feet up, do me a favor and just stay
Blue eyes, you had me at hello Blue eyes, do you really have to go Oooo, oooo, blue eyes
We spoke the same language Our minds were in sync Match made in heaven You were gone in a blink
Blue eyes, you had me at hello Blue eyes, do you really have to go Blue eyes, you had me at hello Blue eyes, do you really have to go
Blue eyes
Oh blue eyes

Halley's Comet
04:31

You’re as rare as she who showed in 1986 Won’t be back till 2061 75 years in between And I’m lucky enough to have witnessed you
You knew every shape of the moon And where each planet stood in space Yet out of all the stars in the sky You picked me to watch the night go by
You came and gone like Halley’s comet, and I’ll never forget it There will never be another you in my lifetime I’ll remember our love for its shine
You and I weren’t meant to be But our paths were meant to cross I’m so glad I stopped to watch You lit up my world with your spark Even though I wish you could’ve stayed You’ll fly over someone’s life one day
You came and gone like Halley’s comet, and I’ll never forget it There will never be another you in my lifetime I’ll remember our love for its shine
You came and gone like Halley’s comet, and I’ll never forget it There will never be another you in my lifetime I’ll remember our love for its shine I’ll remember our love for its shine I’ll remember our love for its shine For its shine

Hindsight
04:05
|
|||
|
My whole life I’ve looked back at better days Laid awake at night thinking about what I needed to say Should’ve listened to the warnings, should’ve seen the signs Should’ve stood my ground and stayed inside the fine lines
There’s no time to waste When you’re taking all the clarity that you’ve gained And making a change in your life Start walking in the light, We always wish we knew these things in hindsight In hindsight
There’s no difference between knowing what is right And doing what is wrong Much more harm is done just standing by Should’ve been the voice, When there was no reason, Should’ve done the right thing and had some courage to start speaking
There’s no time to waste When you’re taking all the clarity that you’ve gained And making a change in your life Start walking in the light We always wish we knew these things in hindsight In hindsight
Those tears were wasted on someone who couldn’t appreciate ya Those perfect plans of yesterday were never gonna be We learn and see these things in life after all is said and done, But hindsight is so much better than broken dreams There’s no time to waste When you’re taking all the clarity that you’ve gained And making a change in your life Start walking in the light, We always wish we knew these things in hindsight In hindsight We always wish we knew these things in hindsight

Just A Fool
04:23
|
|||
|
It’s been raining ever since you left Held it together and tried my best Then one April night you called me up It’s no surprise thunder and lightning struck
I’m such a fool for you I guess I really never left your web Should’ve worn my rain boots cause you’re just a flood, and I’m just a fool
Picked up where we left off and talked through the night Looked into my eyes and held me tight Then you kissed me like we were meant to be But when the night ended you still didn’t want to be with me
I’m such a fool for you I guess I really never left your web Should’ve worn my rain boots cause you’re just a flood, and I’m just a fool
Now I’m crying much more than the skies ever have before Took a piece of my heart and walked right back out that door I’m standing here and it’s so cold Now I’m crying much more than the skies ever have before
You’re just a flood, and I’m just a fool You’re just a flood, and I’m just a fool I am a fool
Now I’m crying much more than the skies ever have before Took a piece of my heart and walked right back out that door I’m standing here and it’s so cold Now I’m crying much more than the skies ever have before
Now I’m crying much more than the skies ever have before

Second Wind
03:48
|

|
Wounds have been healing I’ve been moving on with my own life It’s been a little while since I shed a tear over you So why now am I thinking about the things we used to do
I’m too tired for a second wind of you You took my heart I want it back brand new I’m too tired for a second wind of you Living in flashbacks at twenty-two A second wind of you, I’m too tired for a second wind of you
I wore myself out Was the chaser, not the runner in a rigged race Picked myself up off the ground and blocked all memories of you But today your face came into frame, just as somebody I once knew
I’m too tired for a second wind of you You took my heart I want it back brand new I’m too tired for a second wind of you Living in flashbacks at twenty-two A second wind of you, I’m too tired for a second wind of you
Wanna forgot about you, not remember who took my heart away But now the wind is blowing with traces of you And my progress has been delayed
I’m too tired for a second wind of you You took my heart I want it back brand new I’m too tired for a second wind of you You took my heart I want it back brand new I’m too tired for a second wind of you Living in flashbacks at twenty-two A second wind of you, I’m too tired for a second wind of you I’m too tired for a second wind of you

Empty Room
04:30
|

|
I hit a wall, it came crashing down on me All the rubble filled my lungs, and I couldn’t breathe Needed a cry for help, but I just couldn’t scream
It’s got a grip on me Holds me tight Doesn’t let go Somebody please save me
Heavy breathing, the walls are closing in on me Empty room, I can hear the air screaming My eyes move in panic I hate this feeling
It’s got a grip on me Holds me tight Doesn’t let go Somebody please save me
There are days when not even a capsule can save me from this nightmare But I know that the good Lord won’t try and keep me there In due time I’ll outrun this restless affair
It’s got a grip on me Holds me tight Doesn’t let go Somebody please save me
It’s got a grip on me Holds me tight Doesn’t let go Somebody please save me
It’s got a grip on me

Bits & Pieces
04:10
|
|||
|
You never believe your hearts made of glass Until someone proves you wrong Never thought it’d break with a love so strong But the thing that hurts the most is not the absence of you But the ease at which I left your point of view
You left me in bits and pieces You left me in bits and pieces You left me in bits and pieces Like shattered glass on the floor
I gave you control of my hopeful heart Now my soul’s been ripped apart You’re with someone new I hope she gives you everything that I tried to
You left me in bits and pieces You left me in bits and pieces You left me in bits and pieces Like shattered glass on the floor
You left me in bits and pieces You left me in bits and pieces You left me in bits and pieces Like shattered glass on the floor
I loved you more, and nothing’s been made more clear Gave you every last bit of myself, and it still wasn’t enough I wasn’t enough
You left me in bits and pieces You left me in bits and pieces You left me in bits and pieces Like shattered glass on the floor
You left me in bits and pieces You left me in bits and pieces You left me in bits and pieces Like shattered glass on the floor
You left me on the floor.

Keeper
03:08
|

|
Stubbornness doesn't win fights, It only kills the light Time is never on our side, Should've swallowed that pride in hindsight
Say what you feel and mean what you say Say those things growing day by day Love a little louder, care a little deeper You never want to look back and think, "they were a keeper"
The upper hand is not the real prize, It’s tender hearts by sunrise Time is never on our side, Love cannot afford for us to run and hide
Say what you feel and mean what you say Say those things growing day by day Love a little louder, care a little deeper You never want to look back and think, "they were a keeper"
Be honest, be bold, remember whatcha got Cause even those who know us best can get second thoughts
Say what you feel and mean what you say Say those things growing day by day Love a little louder, care a little deeper You never want to look back and think, "they were a keeper”
Say what you feel and mean what you say Say those things growing day by day Love a little louder, care a little deeper You never want to look back and think, "they were a keeper” Say what you feel You never want to look back think that, “they were a keeper”

Found A Home In You
03:42
|

|
When it rains we all want a roof to run under Somewhere to keep us dry in a warm embrace If we run away we all just want someone to wonder A missing puzzle piece always has its place
My heart has found a home in you The truth has set me free, we're meant to be I'm so in love with you and the things you do My heart has found a home in you
I was lost but now am found in your eyes You are mine and I am yours, it's so sweet Before you I wasn't afraid of goodbyes But now you're the reason why my heart beats
My heart has found a home in you The truth has set me free, we're meant to be I'm so in love with you and the things you do My heart has found a home in you
You and me Always together Make each other better You and me Always together Make each other better
My heart has found a home in you The truth has set me free, we're meant to be I'm so in love with you and the things you do My heart has found a home in you My heart has found a home in you My heart has found a home in you

Right Here Right Now
03:18
|
|||
|
Right here, right now, I never could have dreamed I’d be in this place After all the turns I planned to take There’s no use in making plans Life always seems to have the upper hand
It all happens for a reason because
Time has brought me here The tide has pulled me in to take a swim So I won’t fight the wind, cause I know I’m where I’m supposed to be Right here, right now
Right here, right now, I want to live for every moment of each day And never let potential waste away Live out all those tiny dreams That never seemed to fit in the grand scheme
It all happens for a reason because
Time has brought me here The tide has pulled me in to take a swim So I won’t fight the wind, cause I know I’m where I’m supposed to be Right here, right now
All this time I thought I was lost But turns out I just took the long way home It all happens for a reason because
Time has brought me here The tide has pulled me in to take a swim So I won’t fight the wind, cause I know I’m where I’m supposed to be Right here, right now
Right here right now is better

Turning my back on what wasn’t meant to be Moving on from what I wanted to see Fought for so long and wasted all my energy And now just like that it’s all turned to debris
Like blowing a dandelion into the wind Like releasing a firefly with the best of them Your clarity has loosened my grip
I’m letting go, I’m letting go No longer chained to what I tried to see Released my fists and now my heart has been set free I’m letting go, I’m letting go
Been so afraid to lose the security Even though it’s obvious there was a scarcity Your words delivered as if I was some charity And now I’m going forward on your insincerity
Like blowing a dandelion into the wind Like releasing a firefly with the best of them Your clarity has loosened my grip
I’m letting go, I’m letting go No longer chained to what I tried to see Released my fists and now my heart has been set free I’m letting go, I’m letting go
Like blowing a dandelion into the wind Like releasing a firefly with the best of them Your clarity has loosened my grip I’m letting go, I’m letting go No longer chained to what I tried to see Released my fists and now my heart has been set free No longer chained to what I tried to see Released my fists and now my heart has been set free
I’m letting go
I’m letting go
I’m letting go
I’m letting go
