On Solid Ground

No one really knows what happens now
Are we gonna fall apart or live it down
Am I ever gonna figure out the signals you’ve been sending my way
Learn to speak a language I thought I knew
Searching for the perfect moment never leaves a chance to know it from up or down
I can’t always stand on solid ground
Summer time in the afternoon, clear as day
In a while I’ll get back to you
I just had to break away, something’s on my mind
Are we gonna face the truth or run and hide
Am I ever gonna figure out the signals you’ve been sending my way
Learn to speak a language I thought I knew
Living in anticipation only led to more frustration before I found
I can’t always stand on solid ground
I’ve got time but I can’t say that it’s my own
I can only use it if I spend it honestly
I’m not tired but it’s hard to carry on
In a world where you’re not here standing next to me
No matter what might happen to us now
We can face the truth and make it out somehow
Pretty soon I’m gonna figure out the signals you’ve been sending my way
Learn to speak a language I’ve always known
Waiting for a premonition now that all my indecision has spun me round
I can’t always stand on solid ground

A Write Off
03:48

I couldn’t give myself a break
I hid in the shadows of another one’s mistake
The days all had no meaning
The world felt insincere
Now I’m alone without a fear
And I’m lost in the place I want to be
Thinking if I take another night off
Maybe in the morning I’ll be free
But it’s a write off
Somehow the chances came and went
Chasing a butterfly while stuck in wet cement
I led with intuition
I saw no other way
You gave me a role I couldn’t play
But I’m dreaming of a time you’re always near
Hoping if you take another night off
Maybe in the morning you’ll be here
But it’s a write off
And I’m lost in the place I want to be
Thinking if I take another night off
Maybe in the morning I would see you’re free
But I’m dreaming of a time you’re always near
Hoping if you take another night off
Maybe in the morning you’ll be here
But it’s a write off

Rushing in Blind
02:59
|

Lost in a daydream long before the finish line
Wandering blindly through the mazes in my mind
I get one step ahead just to turn around instead
I’ll never understand how you start everything late and still save time
I’m early to plan and always rushing in blind
Caught in a landslide in the middle of the room
Everyone stands by as I’m climbing my way through
What’s the point moving fast when they want the thrill to last
I’ll never understand how you start everything late and still save time
I’m early to plan and always rushing in blind
You don’t even know which way to go and still you end up leaving me behind
So I’ll just keep rushing in blind

Not Enough
04:04

I had a thought but I kept it in
I just assumed that you knew
With all the things that we leave unsaid
What’s another to keep from you
I had a feeling but I held it back
I figured you’d understand
With all the things we keep to ourselves
What’s another to bury in the sand
And then you tell me
Don’t you worry, it doesn’t have to be that way
You must be crazy to believe the things you say
Sometimes the reasons to bury what we love can be too much
And at the same time, not enough
I had a song but it slipped away
I couldn’t tell what it lacked
With all the things that we try to make
What’s another to slip through the cracks
I had a dream but I let it go
I couldn’t bare to see it break
With all the things that we never do
What’s another to leave in its wake
And then you tell me
Don’t you worry, it doesn’t have to be that way
You must be crazy to believe the things you say
Sometimes the reasons to leave the ones we love can be too much
And at the same time, not enough
