Hey Girl 03:11
lyrics

Here's something I've been wondering Is this for real or just another fling If you seek then you will find I'm so much more than a waste of time I know it's hard when you've been burned To forget everything you have learned You've never studied for someone like me I'll pass every test you can throw at me Hey girl, what you know Someday you gotta let go And give away your heart to me I'm the closest thing to a guarantee Hey girl, what you say Are you ever gonna come my way I'll give you all that you're dreaming of But you're never gonna know If you don't choose love So what's your deal and what's your worry Just so you know I'm in no hurry I've got our whole lives to be loving you And we can get started when you're ready to Someday you'll know the reason why There's something here worth fighting for And It could change our lives But it won't work if you don't try Cause I believe in you and me

Fade Away 04:05
lyrics

There's something that I think about That makes me go insane It sneaks in then I can't get it out On a loop inside my brain Wanna feel like I'm not alone But it's hard to have faith in something so unknown I hope I'm wrong but the thing I fear is What if nothing's after History and memories Come crashing to a stop like a symphony How much sand in the hourglass I guess we'll never know now There's nothing I can do So I, I'll keep holding on, on to you Cause I need someone to tell me it's alright I can't stop thinking I don't think I can sleep tonight I don't wanna fade away Please tell me that I'll be alright I can't stop thinking I don't think I can sleep tonight I don't wanna fade away When I was young I didn't think about I was lost in my own way Now I know there's only one way out And that's hard for me to say Wanna feel like I'm not alone But it's hard to have faith in something so unknown I hope I'm wrong but the thing I fear is What if nothing's after How can we be the centerpiece To something so vast yeah it's hard to see I just hope I make it Until they are both alright I wish I was good at pretending Or bought what's sold to me Cause then I'd feel like I will be alright, but I don't think that's right

Four Years (feat. Domestic Problems & Jacob Jeffries) 03:54
lyrics

Found a box of things that took me back to a time when all I wanted was within my grasp Old faded photos stacks of our CD's It's crazy how it all comes rushing back to me And I wish that I again could live a memory Four Years of the best times that I hoped would never end Screaming fans and the spotlight And the days that we spent, playback in my mind I know that it was short but it felt...like a lifetime 20 years later thoughts of how it began from coffee shops to Ricks to buying our own van hundreds of shows and everyone was a thrill The good times and the bad I wouldn't trade for the world If it wasn't for the band I wouldn't have my girl Those are days that I cherish and I want them back again Screaming fans and the spotlight And the days that we spent, playback in my mind I know that it was short but it felt...like a lifetime Even as time moves on The memories stay with us forever We're never really gone The songs are what keeps us together I just wish that you and I Could share the stage and play tonight I miss rehearsing making songs out of jams down in the Schuetzler's basement, they were my second fam Eric, Denby, Adam, Ryan and Chad Even Joe and Tex and David, my brothers of band Thank you for each and every single moment we had Four Years of the best times that I hoped would never end Those are days that I cherish and I want them back again Sometimes when I'm dreaming we made it all the way To Screaming fans and the spotlight And the days that we spent, playback in my mind I know that it was short but it felt...like a lifetime

New Life (feat. Pete Schmidt) 04:12

I know that it’s over, doesn’t mean I’m ok I never believed we’d ever see this day And now that we’re here, I’m not sure how to feel There’s so much that’s happened And it doesn’t seem quite right And I've lost the will to fight You’re wrong to be leaving I hope you remember you wanted it this way So get on with your new life Prove that you are better when I’m not around And I’ll be here you’re lost and not yet found I can see now what happened You were too scared to trust You showed over and over I was never quite enough I should let go of anger and just let it be But my only regret is giving every part of me Cause you were too blind to see but anyway You’re wrong to be leaving I hope you remember you wanted it this way So get on with your new life Prove that you are better when I’m not around and I'm not found So get on with your leaving I hope you remember you wanted it this way So get on with your new life Prove that you are better when I’m not around And I’ll be here you’re lost and not yet found

Heart of Me 03:37

I wish I was perfect, but it's not meant to be I know what I'm after, but it's just out of reach Cause when in the moment, it's not easy to see The words that I'm saying, hit you differently Admitting you've got faults is never easy But owning who I am, can start to change your mind Sometimes I know that I can be Not who I am but that's all you see And if you try, dig carefully You'll see there's much more at the heart of me I try to be decent, I try to be kind I never tell secrets, unless they are mine And you'll have to pardon, this heart on my sleeve But the upside is knowing, I'm not out to deceive From afar it might seem like you know me But I can guarantee that you have yet to know the truth Sometimes I know that I can be Not who I am but that's all you see And if you try, dig carefully You'll see there's much more at the heart of me I know who I wanna be But you can't look past any history And if you try, dig carefully You'll see there's much more at the heart of me How do I make you see that there are things that I do right Take some time and you will see I've got another side I don't wanna be, someone who's your enemy Can you set me free

Not Tuesday 04:47
lyrics

I was walking, stranded searching Until I stumbled upon your doorstep I didn't know you but you knew me Must have been blind but now I see Someone special who drives me crazy How can one soul captivate me I am lost when I'm not near you I know I don't deserve you I didn't expect you but I can't ignore you Cause Lord I've tried These feelings inside me Are getting so hard to hide I'd sell my soul just to have you, be near you I wish that I could tell you, but today is not Tuesday On the big screen, everything thing seems So damn easy like in my dreams But I never could have dreamt you You mean more than you think you do I'd sell my soul just to have you, be near you You're smile alone is always more than I can handle How much you mean to me you'll never know I wish that I could tell you, but today is not Tuesday

Start Something 03:14
lyrics
buy track
I know that you’re hurting, cause I am too But this time will be different, you’re living proof Please don’t go on, the same old way Maybe we should listen, there’s so much to say Keep raising your voices Scream loud and true Stand for what you believe in and Start something new Love and understanding should be all you need It’s a shame that our children aren’t worth more than greed It’s so simple, it’s not red or blue And how we get there, it starts with you I know it might seem like things will never change But please just push on through I’m sure there’ll be bumps ahead So don’t forget, the ones who left too soon Keep raising your voices Scream loud and true Stand for what you believe in and Take back the truth And start something new Change all the rules And start something new

I Belong 04:09
lyrics
buy track
Wasn't yours but you wanted me anyway Given up then you gave me a home Choices made, can't take back Live were changed in seconds flat No way I'll ever pay back A chance to be, when you chose me And I thought you should know that I Know I'm better off once you brought me in your life I belong to you It's hard to explain cause I Feel the same as though you run right through my blood I belong to you Who I am it's all because of you You made it so I could dream And If you chose another way Who knows where I'd be today Wouldn't have these words to say You'll always be the only ones I'll need

Be The One (feat. Ari Hest) 04:19

There were times I thought I’d never find you Others let me down so I gave up Suddenly you appeared out of nowhere And showed me that I was more than enough Everything I hope to be And everything I am I’m better here with you I’ve waited for this moment for a lifetime I wanna be the one Who shines bright in your dark How did I find someone As perfect as you are And I can’t wait to start The life we’re meant to lead If you’re here with me I’m where I’m supposed to be Now that you are standing here before me As all the other people fade away I can’t help but think about the future There’s only two words left for me to say I wanna be the one Who shines bright in your dark How did I find someone As perfect as you are And I can’t wait to start The life we’re meant to lead If you’re here with me I’m where I’m supposed to be Take this dance with me Then we’ll start to see Our two lives becoming one I wanna be the one Who shines bright in your dark How did I find someone As perfect as you are I wanna be the one Who shines bright in your dark How did I find someone As perfect as you are And I can’t wait to start The life we’re meant to lead If you’re here with me Now that you're here with me And if you're here with me

You'll Be Fine 04:07

I can't imagine what you're thinking I can't imagine how you feel So much darkness must be drowning You're demons turning all too real I can't promise things are ever easy All that I can be is just the hand that won't let go I know that it gets heavy Holding all the pain inside But you're not alone tonight Breathe in, breathe slow remember Take one step at a time And I'll be by your side Hold on a little longer and you'll find That you'll be fine If you find things are overwhelming If you're afraid you might be letting go Always look around the corner There's so much here that's still unknown No one ever said that things are easy But trust me things get better if you only give them time If you need hope when you're feeling hopeless If you need love when it's left your heart Then I'm your place to start If you're alive but not quite living If you're best has been left behind Then I'll be by your side Hold on a little longer and you'll find you'll be There is nothing you can't overcome You don't have to run cause I'm right here Never worry if we'll see another day There's nothing you could do to make me walk away

Who I Am 03:22
lyrics
buy track
If you want to know me, better listen close I’m more like a riddle than a book of prose Something that’s for certain, is we’ve all got room to grow And the moment that I mess up, I’m man enough to let you know One thing that I’ve learned is life is like a game How can you move forward If you never change Every single moment shaped the way I am Like back in Arizona, where it all began I’m just trying to live life, the best way that I can I know I’m not perfect, so all I can be is who I am Some say I’m a giant, I can still feel small I’m afraid I’m a failure, underneath it all But I’ve got two that show me I might have done something right And the one who stands beside me, makes me feel alive I know I’ve got a good life There’s not much I would change But if I'm being honest I wish that I could play There’s even more that I could tell you It's much more fun if you discover for yourself

What It Takes To Be A Man 04:05
lyrics
buy track
I see you growing everyday You take our breath away with each new step I wonder who you're meant to be What you'll learn from me and who you'll love Before I'm out of time, there's something on my mind Some simple words that I want you to hear Take care of your mama, stay away from drama Never tell a lie if it might cause somebody pain Help someone up when they are down For family always be around These are just a few things I hope you understand That's what it takes to be a man Keep learning, study everything See what life can bring to your front door If something's gotta give, give your pride and not your soul It's best if you stay true to who you are Without that, you'll never make it far Make people feel like they belong, say you're sorry when you're wrong Always try your best and never be afraid to dream Respect the world that surrounds you And keep a heart that aims true These are just a few things I hope you understand That's what it takes to be a man If there's times where you don't know which way to go Trust yourself and never let it show When I'm gone if you feel like you're alone I'll be the voice inside that guides you home Always stand up for what is right, and think before you fight Be the shoulder Gia cries on when she's got a broken heart Love your kids with all you have Cause they grow up too damn fast These are just a few things I hope you understand That's what it takes to be a man
