Lost in Life

You ever been out on the water,
When the tide is at its highest,
And the sun is getting father?
I’ll tell you friend I’ve been there,
You don’t know which way you’re going.
So peaceful why should you care,
But you’re angry for not knowing.
But there’s ocean on my feet. There’s a girl at home who’s waiting
And like honey she’s so sweet. But I think I’ll drift out here until
The late hours of the night.
You know getting lost in life, every now and then’s alright.
My daddy and I woke up early,
Put our boat into the harbor and
For hours we were roaming.
I would laugh while he told stories
Bout the folklore of the sea,
We knew that we were lost,
And I smiled as he told me,
Smell the ocean in the breeze. Your mother’s at home waiting
Like the Lord she’s good to me. Let’s you and I stay out here till
The sun is out of sight.
Son getting lost in life, every now and then’s alright.
The beach was cold and muddy,
And when we reached the shore
We reached the ending of the journey.
We walked into a small town,
Quarter mile from the coast.
It’s the trips with no direction,
That I will treasure most.
The fog was thick but nature didn’t win.
There’s a little day left and the tide is right so lets get lost again.
I’d choose a wild guess over a sure thing every time.
You know getting lost in life, every now and then’s alright.
You know getting lost in life, every now and then’s alright.

I Want Her Home

I’m a slave to TV all day long,
Too comfortable to get things done.
I’m a little bummed out but I carry on,
Because I know she’s having fun.
With each passing day comes another in its place,
With each new day comes a new stage.
When I hear that she won’t be there I start going under,
And I don’t laugh or act my age.
And this is how it’s been,
Day and night no matter what state I am in.
While my body is with y’all my heart’s with her,
And I am on my own.
I just want her to come home.
The lights are off, there’s no need for them today.
The sun is out it feels alright.
Where they are it’s getting dark, and she don’t know if she wants to stay,
Or follow them into the night.
And I wish she was here.
I’m so sick of this damn feeling she could disappear.
While my mind is on this note, my heart’s with her,
And I am on my own.
I just want her to come home.
And this is how it’s been,
Day and night no matter what state I am in.
While my body is with y’all my heart’s with her,
No one should ever feel alone,
I just want her to come home.
And I am on my own,
I just want her to come home.

When My Luck Runs Dry

My luck has gone bad, but it’s something I can’t return.
I’ve no more lifelines, no more shortcuts I can learn.
If you see me knocking, it’s in your interest to ignore me.
But when I get back home she’ll be there waiting,
And I’ll forget why I am angry.
She’s the sunlight to my morning.
She’s the moon when day is done.
She’s like a bird when she is singing.
She’s my shelter when I’m on the run.
When my luck runs dry she always pours me some.
You know that feeling, that feeling only felt when you’re alone.
What was once a small town, seems to be where the whole world decides to go.
Then the streets seem colder, and a pessimistic outcome’s all you see.
Then she holds your hand and you think, well how bad can this city be?
She’s the sunlight to my morning.
She’s the moon when day is done.
She’s like a bird when she is singing.
She’s my shelter when I’m on the run.
When my luck runs dry she always pours me some.
When my luck runs dry she always pours me some.

Love Loves

You ever had love and lost it, drown in a drink,
While you’re wondering how the hell it went wrong?
You followed the rules, rules you think should be written,
Till you turn around and she’s gone.
You think you’re the only, destined to be lonely
Swing and a miss every single time guy.
Well you can’t be more wrong, get up and stay strong
Cause love loves the fact that you try.
She’s made you afraid of leaving your home
She’s made you afraid of the sun.
And God’s great blue sky leaves you terrified
Cause you know that she’s out breaking hearts one by one.
While that may be true, take a deep breath or two,
And search for deserved peace of mind.
Cause although she is gone, a second chance comes along
Cause love loves the fact that you try.
Loves as natural as breathing it’s the yearning to fly.
And the power of a broken heart by the ladies we love
Knocks us down picks us up and makes us want to try
One more time,
They move like the seasons, warm to cold for no reason
But love loves the fact that we try
And they can take you through hell, leave without a farewell,
But remember someday you could find
A woman who saves you each and everyday,
Cause love loves the fact that we try.
From the start of the day, till the sun sinks away,
You’ll be so damn happy you tried.

Haven
03:56

I’ve seen chimney’s stand as monuments,
Surrounding walls burnt in argument.
Move away to find a home again,
Lessons in the ash blown by the wind.
To me love is just like coming home,
A roof and walls in a thunderstorm.
A rush of greetings so sincere,
Reflecting on the chandelier.
I’ll be your door, you be my light.
I’ll be your blanket while you sleep at night.
I’ll be your window that keeps out the cold.
You promise me that you stay till I’m old
You be my haven, and I’ll be your home.
Broken hearts are painful blemishes
Exposes us to the elements.
Weakens all we’ve tried to build.
Every hope and plan left unfulfilled.
All I want to do is settle down,
And keep my feet firm on the ground.
And you showed me, when you heard my prayer,
That every broken soul can be repaired.
But I’ll be your door, you be my light.
I’ll be your blanket, while you sleep at night.
Darling just stay, and I’ll take care of you,
Those kinds who hurt me, will never find you.
You be my haven and I’ll be your home.
