Step into the light
My hand will be there
So hold on to it tight
It will a long ride
I'll sleep on your shoulders throughout the night
Throughout the night
You're the inspiration pulsing through my brain
You pour out of my eyes and on to this page
Your pen shapes while mine defines
As we slip between unspoken lines
It's time to grow up
So read me children's books
You help me to stay young
And it makes sense to want to grow old with you
Grow old with you
You're the inspiration pulsing through my brain
You pour out of my eyes and on to this page
Your pen shapes while mine defines
As we slip between unspoken lines
You can say anything to me
I need you like a boat needs the sea
You can say anything to me
I need you like a boat needs the sea
Step into the light
My hand will be there
You're the inspiration pulsing through my brain
You pour out of my eyes and on to this page
Your pen shapes while mine defines
As we slip between unspoken lines
As we slip between unspoken lines

Ride It Out

I'd better see you around
Cause I'm not going anywhere
As long as you need me, I'll be there
I'll keep you in my head
And will these words to you, my friend
You've got protection under your friends' inventions
If there's a storm, ride it out
I don't think you know
But you can't hide now
If there's a storm, ride it out
I don't think you know
But you can't hide now
Live in the spaces where events replay
Overlapping memories in the same place
I'd rather you turn and walk away
And ignore what I have to say
Truth is, you'll listen someday
If there's a storm, ride it out
I don't think you know
But you can't hide now
If there's a storm, ride it out
I don't think you know
But you can't hide now
Just ride it out
And if it makes you feel any better
Just remember it's only bad weather
And if it makes you feel any better
Just remember it's only bad weather
If there's a storm, ride it out
I don't think you know
But you can't hide now
If there's a storm, ride it out
I don't think you know
But you can't hide now
Just ride it out

Wipe my canvas clean
Paint your love on me
And when we sing
It's in our own key
I've never felt so complete
As loneliness crawls into bed with me
I forget how to breathe
Oh, how to breathe
This middle mind is bold
And it's mine to decide
Wipe my canvas clean
Paint your love on me
And when we sing
It's in our own key
I've never felt so complete
I hear your name in the deep breeze
Whispering the world sighs
I can't believe you came into my life
I know this is right
Wipe my canvas clean
Paint your love on me
And when we sing
It's in our own key
I've never felt so complete
We'll find our way
Wipe my canvas clean
Paint your love on me
And when we sing
I feel so complete

The Distance

How can I look at you now?
You say that you're done
Do this last thing for me
Explain why I wasn't good enough
We'll take these separate roads
We'll do things different ways
I won't have problems with my goals
I know I'll be just fine
I know I'll be just fine
We went so far to throw it away
What do you do when there's nothing left to say?
Let the silence fill the space between us
Was it too much to go the distance?
Take these memories
And put them on a page
I'll seal them in a letter
And at the bottom sign my name
I'll sign my name so you won't forget
You left an impression on me
Along with these words
I'll send it back your way
I'll send it back your way
We went so far to throw it away
What do you do when there's nothing left to say?
Let the silence fill the space between us
Was it too much to go the distance?
We went so far to throw it away
What do you do when there's nothing left to say?
Let the silence fill the space between us
Was it too much to go the distance?
Was it too much for to go the distance?
We went so far to throw it away
What do you do when there's nothing left to say
Let the silence fill the space between us
Was it too much to go the distance?

A Call Out To Hold Out

I broke my neck to keep my chin up
There's an open wound and no grounding
Days like these will make me fed up
It all feels like a senseless affliction
And you say you'll be there
But you're separated by a barrier
Your words get drowned out
Your mouth makes hollow sounds
There's no truth behind your means
Upon my shoulders
I will place a weight too heavy to bear
It's an item no one else can consider
Can even consider to wear
In proving my strongest
I lost my endurance
In proving my strongest
I lost it
And you say you'll be there
But you're separated by a barrier
Your words get drowned out
Your mouth makes hollow sounds
There's no truth behind your means
And you say, "I'm there"
Say, "I'm as close as your prayers"
But you can't let me in
Even though you see I'm sinking
I guess I'll keep my chin up to slow the drowning
I'm just slowly drowning
And you say you'll be there
Go be a lifesaver
Don't the salt blind you
If you can hold out
Fill your lungs up to shout
I'm not drowning

I'm more awake than I've been in a time
You cause no worry for me
And for the first time in a long time
I was able to sleep last night
And when you talk about me
I hope you can say
I remember when she said
Loyal I'll begin, loyal I'll remain
With one hand I'll defend
The other conquers
There's a balance to find
Or this won't last any longer
All hope was restored
We've grown only stronger
And when you talk about me
I hope you can say
I remember when she said
Loyal I'll begin, loyal I'll remain
And I meant it when I said
Loyal I'll begin, loyal I'll remain
Loyal I'll begin, loyal I'll remain
And just remember when I said
Loyal I'll begin, loyal I'll remain
And I meant it when I said
Loyal I'll begin, loyal I'll remain

The Christmas trees get smaller every year
They measured my coming of age
By the time I could place the angel in the highest place
And be washed over by her grace
I feel like I get smaller every year
Even though I'm growing up
Cause you keep acting larger than life
And my words don't seem to measure up
You won't be here
You won't be here with me anymore
You won't be here to watch the snow melt with me
And if you died next year
I know I'll regret every word said here
If living like you do is what kills you
Then you can only blame yourself
I know I never tried to fix this
I just found better friends
From now on my heart gets bigger every year
Because I found love somewhere far away
From what you need and what you believe
And I know I'm happier here
