All We Need

Time is a straight lineA linear motion that leaves us behind
as the days pass I count every one.
And I am a sailor
fightin the waves as they break on the hull
pushing me back to the shore
If once I could fight it
Row to horizons where sunsets burn bright
I'd push on and push into the night
But now I've been pushing
too long my arms are tired
just rest watch the clouds pass by
All we need is a little bit of hope
little bit of fight
little bit of motivation
to live
to love
to cry
to continue through this life
I've read through the pages
of all that's been written of how we should spend
the time that we have on this earth
I've studied with sages
to displace the distance from now to the end
just hoping that I'll make a difference
Then one day he'll find us
to bring us to pass through those gates in the air
I'll admit that of this I am scared
But I know we all are
And that is what gives me comfort
We're in this all together
All we need is a little bit of hope
little bit of fight
little bit of motivation
to live
to love
to cry
to continue through this life
Through all these earthquakes
I need to stay steady, two feet on the ground
when the world shakes I can't fall down
And as the crust breaks
I'll secure my position when hands gripping down
To all the things that I hold dear
so as the clouds pass
I'll look to the sky and know that I'm fine
as long as my eyes can see blue
And I will push on, to do
all that I am able
I just want to be stable

Let's Get Away

There's a place that I call home
where the oak trees grow, where the moon light glows
but i wish that I was somewhere elsewhere the sound of city lights keeps me company at night
She's got sweet personality
smiling from inside the window screen
and she's opening the door to me
Just a stranger but I'll take it
I'm alone and feeling shameless
Maybe we can go
When our work gets slow
we can take a ride to the other side of town
Life gets so complicated
but the pictures that you take
keep the memories in place and
I wish, that I'd settle for all this
but sometimes I need a fix to take its place
let's get away
When the cold cuts through our bones
we can drive past all this snow
south to memphis we'll go
where we can shed these clothes
and breathe again
And someday we will return
find a place to call our own
build the walls around our home
where we can rest these bones
in my arms you can retreat
in our love we can believe
Maybe we can be
Just two kids set free
I can pass the time, lookin into your eyes
Life gets so complicated
but the pictures that you take
keep the memories in place and
I wish, that I'd settle for all this
but sometimes I need a fix to take its place

Here Tonight

It's a give and its a take
its a whole lot of heartbreaks
but I'm hoping I can change that with you
its a slow and steady beat
and I feel it when you're near me
So I keep you close to let you steer my feet
Its the passing of a day
Its the ebb and flow of change
its the constant thought of someone next to me
It's the wind upon my face
as I'm driving off to run away
and its knowing for the moment I'm ok
I've been reaching hard for answers
to the questions that I have
about finding motivation
in the moments that we share
There's someone on my mind
who's eyes I see each time I sleep
and hoping for a moment
that she'll be here next to me
For now I'll just keep sleeping
so I dream I'm not alone
Then one day I'll reach you
I hope one day I'll reach you
With the air I take to breathe
I close my eyes and i can see
a summertime that's passing by with you
With hearts so calm and sure
we take to life and live for more
I hold on to the thought being free
I've been reaching hard for something
to feel that I believe
That risks are worth the gamble
just to feel my heart beat
I don't know where I am going
I've been losing this for years
but confidence makes strangers
with complacency it seems
For now I'll just keep sleeping
so I dream I'm not alone
Then one day I'll reach you
I hope one day I'll reach you
I know I've got this tendency
to walk away when I feel at ease
I'm giving you the chance to ground my feet
And I wish that you would stay
to keep me calm when I'm afraid
of all the things I think about these days
Cause you take your touch and
lift me up, each time our hands collide
and I feel the weight of life pass by
cause you're with me here tonight
you're with me here tonight
if only for tonight

Turn Around (wake up)
03:33

These days are numbered
but we let them slide
waiting for the worst to end
watching the hours of the 9 to 5
just waiting for the weekend
It's like clockwork
dream and never stop to let us look at the world
around us.
Seems we all must
settle for the almosts
and spend our time
reaching for
the dreams we left behind
wake up, wake up, now
there's time move on through
you're pushing yourself back
waiting as the days pass
Get up, get up now
no ties to hold you down
there's plenty of time now
to turn this yourself around
Do you remember when
the kids we were
were fearless to take on the world
Trading places we'd pretend
writing futures for our friends
just wishing we were older
Hearts grow weary
and our minds are worn
newspapers teach us to
despise the world
we make shelters of our homes
feeling safer when alone
this can't go on forever
believe me this won't last forever
dying's when our dreams are settled
cutting through this time
please take my hand, your hand,
we'll fly and we can live to justify the time we have
