Long Shadow 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Long Shadow Holding you; I know I’ll cry Baby in your room; and this long goodbye Our cheeks brush; still wet with tears These aching lungs; swell with fear For the light it brings Love casts a long shadow It shrouds everything I’m caught in your long shadow I’m stuck in this long shadow Consumed by a long shadow In a fever dream The world stopped On our island Alone in love For the light it brings Love casts a long shadow It shrouds everything I’m caught in your long shadow For the light it brings Love casts a long shadow Caught in a long shadow Consumed by a long shadow For the light it brings Love casts a long shadow It shrouds everything I’m caught in your long shadow Loves a mountaintop Every peak has a valley that follows Caught in your long shadow Stuck in this long shadow Caught in your long shadow Consumed by a long shadow

Sad In The Sun 04:36
lyrics

Sad In The Sun Oh oh oh, I’m running south Running from the cold, Running from myself Where’s that soul, I've been searching for? Lost it in the sand, On some foreign shore I’d rather be sad in the sun, Than lonely in the snow I guess I’d rather run, Than have to face the cold So if our days are done, Won’t you let me know And I’ll be sad in the sun, you’ll be lonely in the snow Oh oh oh, I’m hiding out Drowning in rum, drowning in doubt I’m so lost, I’m begging for help Is this the cost, Of the love we felt? I’d rather be sad in the sun, Than lonely in the snow I guess I’d rather run, Than have to face the cold So if our days are done, Won’t you let me know And I’ll be sad in the sun, you’ll be lonely in the snow Oh oh oh oh, San Miguel The sun it sets, On Cozumel Oh oh oh oh, The pastel skies I made mistakes, but at least I tried I’d rather be sad in the sun, Than lonely in the snow I guess I’d rather run, Than have to face the cold So if our days are done, Won’t you let me know And I’ll be sad in the sun, Insead of lonely in the snow

Move Slowly 03:58
lyrics

Move Slowly I move slowly, process things in time Those who know me, would tell you that I’m kind I’m scared to show you, all of myself For I bear the mark of a wounded heart Every scar’s got a story to tell I’m in love, with falling in love It’s sad and it’s true If I’m in love with falling in love I want to fall in love with you So I write slowly, pluck ‘em when they’re ripe Those who know me, can see they’re harvested from my life If I showed you, everything inside Could you hold me, love and know me If only for the night I’m in love with falling in love It’s sad and its true If I’m in love with falling in love I want to fall in love with you I sift through the the rubble and dust To find a space I can breathe But I keep singing diamonds and rust That’s all we’ll ever be Just melancholic melodies I’m in love with falling in love It’s sad and its true If I’m in love with falling in love I want to fall in love with you I’m gonna to fall in love with you I’m need to fall in love with you

Fly Over State I gave you too much runway But you’re taking off on me I’m just trying to be who I think you want me to be, baby But I can’t, never enough You say I weigh you down too much Maybe I need to lighten up I’m a layover ‘tween betty and veronica You only stay-over when it works for you I’m a fly-over state and I got lost on ya What do I have to do? I want to be the destination Not a view from above I wouldn’t feel this hesitation in your heart if this were love, But i'm wondering when you’re gonna be around, sick of trying to chase you down, I want to be more than a map dot town I’m a layover ‘tween betty and veronica You only stay-over when it works for you I’m a fly-over state and I got lost on ya What do I have to do? You jet set, never regret, always forget to let me know But I love you, I adore you, I always wanted to be your home I’m a layover between betty and veronica You only stay-over when it works for you I’m a fly-over state and I got lost on ya What do I have to do? I’ll be a layover ‘tween betty and veronica You can stay over, cuz I’m used to being used I’m a fly over state and I got lost on ya What do I have to do? You’re all I have to lose

Anywhere But Here 03:34
lyrics

Anywhere But Here I wanna be anywhere but here So I’ll drive, all the way down that road Some place that no one knows My name or my face I’ll leave without a trace Oh I’ll be gone gone gone I won't be; thinking about you I won't be; dreaming about you I won't be; wishing i was kissing, you I need her out of my head I try; but she’s waiting in the wings In every song I sing I won't be, thinking about you I won't be, dreaming about you I won't be, wishing I was kissing you Maybe you’re still; thinking about me Maybe you’ve been dreaming about me Maybe you’re still, wishing you were kissing me I won't be, thinking about you I won't be, dreaming about you I won't be, wishing I was kissing you Maybe you’re still; thinking about me Maybe you’ve been drinking without me Lord knows i’ve been, drinking without you I’m gonna be, okay with you I’m gonna be, just fine without you I’m gonna be, kissing other people’s mouths

Shadow Of The Mountain 04:15
lyrics

Shadow Of The Mountain In the shadow of the mountain, you can’t feel, the setting sun Our days are growing shorter, feels winter’s just begun Your face is growing colder, where’s the warmth that we once knew? Everyday I’m feeling older, never wiser, just more confused I’m new to this city, I’m so lonely already I feel my heart getting heavy, I just followed where it led me To the shadow of the mountain To the shadow of the mountain To the shadow of the mountain To be with you I miss being near the water, where the lake meets the sky We’d watch the waves and wonder, if our lives had passed us by I’m new to this city, I’m so lonely already I feel my heart getting heavy, I just followed where it led me To the shadow of the mountain To the shadow of the mountain To the shadow of the mountain To be with you I miss having people know me I feel doubt creeping in slowly I hope you know I wish you well That you take care of yourself Starving artists need to eat Therapists need therapy I still recall our last goodbye Our bodies shaking as we cried You held me in your arms so tight How can a moment last a life? In the shadow of the mountain In the shadow of the mountain In the shadow of the mountain

I Don't Wanna Feel This Way 04:13
lyrics
buy track
Winter always seems to turn to spring babe, Always seems to turn to spring It exposes the cracks in the streets babe, Exposes the cracks ‘tween you and me The world keeps turning, The sun keeps shining I don’t want to feel this way And what’s done is done, There’s no rewinding But I don’t want to feel this way I don’t do too much these days love, I don’t do too much with my days Seems I just sit around and ruminate love, And I guess some things'll never change We’ll have other lovers, Underneath our covers, Every body that’s not yours feels strange And I know someday, I might love another But it feels so faraway On that January morning When I woke up with your arm around me I had the profound feeling that I was exactly Where I was meant to be It was almost holy In the early morning light, Under that blood-orange duvet Pressed against your skin, Your heavy hand caressing me I felt as though I had been sent down A little milestone that read: Mile 26; You are right on track You're exactly where you're meant to be I can’t help thinking, Things might have been different If I had had the courage to stay I missed my mother, My brother and his daughter And I didn’t want to feel this way The world keeps turning, The sun keeps shining And I don’t want to feel this way What’s done is done, There’s no rewinding And I don’t want to feel this way Oh I don’t want to feel this way

This Too Shall Pass 04:55
lyrics
buy track
Most of my youth was laid to waste A blacked out blur, a drunken haze All these things I wouldn’t change No sir, not for anything This too shall pass Hard Times they won't last I remember the words my mama said Phillip maybe you’re just tired Baby you should go to bed Twenty Five’s; when things got hard your first love, broke your heart The next few years, got awful dark spent your nights, just chasing sparks This too shall pass Hard Times they won't last I remember the words my mama said Phillip maybe you’re just tired Baby you should go to bed Today my dad turned 65 This year he’s lucky, to be alive Car crash; I remember the night Our tears falling, would he survive? This too shall pass Hard-times they won’t last I remember the words my mama said Phillip maybe you’re just tired Baby you should go to bed This too shall pass Hard-times don't let ‘em last This too shall pass This too shall pass
