Learn to Live so Lonely 04:26
lyrics
buy track
Typing out our lonely thoughts for the lonely world to read I’m sitting writing lonely songs for lonely hearts to sing Once we had a battle cry, “we are all in this together” But now it seems that some of us forgot how to remember How’d we learn to live so lonely How’ll we ever learn to make a friend How’d we learn to live so lonely How and when will all this lonely end The world became an atom bomb and blew us all apart We picked up broken pieces and carried broken hearts But the heart it is a puzzle you can’t fix all by yourself And lonely hearts are easy to hide up on the shelf How’d we learn to live so lonely How’ll we ever learn to make a friend How’d we learn to live so lonely How and when will all this lonely end I don’t know much, but I learned some things About paying and loss and suffering I once had a hunch but now I know No one, no one can make it out here alone How’d we learn to live so lonely How’ll we ever learn to make a friend How’d we learn to live so lonely How and when will all this lonely end How’d we learn to live so lonely How’ll we ever learn to make a friend How’d we learn to live so lonely How and when will all this lonely end How and when will all this lonely end

Runs Dry 03:46

I’m gonna pack my car drive all night if I can Pick a lonesome road and find the spot where it ends I’m done waiting for the sun to light up the sky I’m gonna pack my car drive till the tank goes dry Till the tank goes dry Till the tank goes dry I’m gonna pack my car and drive till the tank goes dry I’m gonna grab my pen write out a poem or two Until the waiting ends there’s not much else I can do There’s no rhythm but I’ll try to make it rhyme I’m gonna grab my pen write till the pen runs dry Till the pen runs dry Till the pen runs dry I’m gonna grab my pen and write till the pen runs dry I’m gonna fill my cup and see if it ends my thirst Everything I have tried only seems to make it worse I’ve been drinking but never stopped to wonder why I’m gonna fill my cup and drink till the well runs dry Till the well runs dry Till the well runs dry I’m gonna fill my cup and drink till the well runs dry

Better as a Stranger 04:08
lyrics

We gave it a shot, but forgot to aim Not knowing the danger So let’s both shake hands and go our way I think I like you I think I like you I think I like you better as a stranger I don’t fit into those small pigeon holes It’s not in my nature The time wasn’t lost but it wasn’t on hold I think I like you I think I like you I think I like you better as a stranger There’s too many pieces And too little time No more second chances The next move is mine I knew it was over I knew it was done The bridge it is broken I’ll build a new one I think I like you I think I like you I think I like you better as a stranger

Catch Me Love 03:43
lyrics

Catch me love I’m raveling The thread has pulled away I don’t know how far it’ll go Or if I’ll ever be the same Catch me love Catch me love Catch me love, I’m raveling Catch me love I’m spilling My cup is cracked and worn I can’t pour what I don’t have in me Or give what I can’t hold Catch me love Catch me love Catch me love, I’m spilling Catch me love I’m traveling And I’ve thrown away the map I can’t say which way I should go Or if I’ll ever make it back Catch me love Catch me love Catch me love, I’m traveling Catch me love I’m falling In holes I never saw But I’ll climb out when I hit the ground And that’s my greatest flaw Catch me love Catch me love Catch me love, I’m falling

Rains on You 03:16
lyrics
buy track
I used to pray for holy fire To come and burn it all away But we got burned so many times That all I pray for now is rain I hope it rains on you, rains on you I hope you feel it on your face And it feels like love and grace I hope it rains, I hope it rains on you. I used to pray that I would have Clear skies every day But I could use some time to rest So I pray these days for rain I hope it rains on you, rains on you I hope you feel it on your face And it feels like love and grace I hope it rains, I hope it rains on you. You can dance in a puddle You can walk through the storm You can move a little closer so I could keep you warm We’ve been running like a fever We’ve been burning from both ends We’ve been not OK, but trying to pretend I hope it rains on you, rains on you I hope you feel it on your face And it feels like love and grace I hope it rains on you, rains on you And you can let go of that seed And you can find just what you need I hope it rains, I hope it rains I hope it rains, I hope it rains I hope it rains. I hope it rains on you

Enough of Me 04:21
lyrics
buy track
There’s not enough of me to give away That this world hasn’t tried to take My time is all gone, my money is spent You said to grow up, is this what you meant Chorus: Is there enough of me for you Is there enough of me for you ‘Cause all that’s left is all I’ve got to offer Is there enough of me for you I learn to follow rules and fall in line I learn to tell myself I’m doing fine But what has been done has brought me here I’m paying all my dues, I’m running on fear Chorus I am burning a borrowed wick I’m paying an endless debt While someone will end up rich There won’t be much of me left

Believe Me 02:53
lyrics
buy track
Believe me when I say That this is nothing like the way I planned it But I think I like it better Spending nights at home Instead of leaving you alone Decaf coffee in our favorite sweaters Believe me, this world will change a thousand times But you can find me sitting lucky at your side I know what I would be I had a life all planned for me, how could I know Where this life was leading A house, three kids, a yard They keep us working pretty hard, but when it’s quiet I’ll just sit and watch you reading Believe me, this world will change a thousand times But you can find me sitting lucky at your side You don’t need me to explain That “I do” will ask everything of you But I’ve found in many ways I’m more now that I could ever be without you Believe me, this world will change a thousand times But you can find me sitting lucky at your side

When the Buffalo are Gone 01:54
lyrics
buy track
Pot shots from a train As another one goes down The herd is getting thin But they load another round They think they’re doing God’s work And cleaning up the lawn what are they gonna hunt When the buffalo are gone They drew the boundary special With ink as red as blood So they could always know Who was man and who was mud They thought it was like Eden But it was Babylon What are they gonna hunt When the buffalo are gone Singing freedom songs While holding onto chains If you don’t play along Then you’re the one to blame They stand upon the shoulders Of Goliath‘s mighty sons They flew the vict’ry banner Before the war was done They’re living in a sunset Mistaken for the dawn What are they going to hunt When the buffalo are gone
