LYRICS
Covered in Mud
maybe
we run out of rope
aimin' too high
and comin' in low
our love
is tender and wrong
never as strong
as thought it was
but when you break all the working parts
and pile up enough false starts
all you see from beneath is dark
and you're covered in mud
covered in mud
blurry
and lost from our view
our innocent days
the love that we knew
lately
we're diggin' so deep
tryin' to bury the past
but our hands aren't clean
when you're lost and you're far from home
to somewhere the grass ain't growin'
and that old storm comes to swallow you whole
you'll be covered in mud
covered in mud
empty
somethin' is gone
i don't wanna blame
the fighting is done
can we
try to go back
to an easier time
when we knew what we had
we can wait for the clouds to pass
or the rain's gonna cover our path
in a flood rising up too fast
we'll be covered in mud
covered in mud

Between the Lines
I’ve been going along this highway
sometimes I don’t stay between the lines
I keep asking the same old questions
a thousand times
How did I get here
Where do I go now
I gotta find out what my purpose is
somehow
follow your chosen road
find your light
between the lines
all my life I followed reason
like those signs along that road
but even signs can be misleading
and then you’re lost
I’m gonna go out tonight
and find myself out there
you can meet me if you want to
but I’m not sure where
I’ve got through so many changes
took chances I’ll never regret
but sometimes your last hope
is your best bet
looking for self-assurance
changing lanes from right to wrong
moving over to the shoulder
but not for too long
so I’m out here tonight
where the road reaches into that sky
come along if you want to
just don’t ever ask me why
I go through so many changes
take chances I’ll never regret
sometimes your last hope
is your best bet
sometimes the miles go by unnoticed
and you look back on your past
like the lights in the rear view mirror
life’s approaching you fast
follow your chosen road
find your light
between the lines

All The Way
c'mon girl
I know you're tired of this cruel 'ole world
uninspired and wishin' that you
had never given it a chance
c'mon now
think of tomorrow yeah I know how
to stop your sorrow and turn it around
yeah everything's gonna change
'cuz when you are here with me
I think you would agree
it's clearer for us to see
what is distracting
and you are in too deep
I wanna be there when you are weak
to carry you all the way
you all the way
you way
c'mon girl
turn out the light and let's bid this town
a last goodbye and we'll drive up the coast
yeah that's where we're gonna go
let the wind dance around your hand
let all the thoughts that you just can't stand
rush outta your head
start thinking instead of us
in this California sun
honey let yourself come undone
start having a little fun
follow your passion
'cuz you are in too deep
I wanna be there when you are weak
to carry you all the way
you all the way
you way
c'mon girl
it's time to show this cruel 'ole world
that now you know how to take it in stride
leave your troubles behind let's ride
go on and wipe all your tears
'cuz you cannot fix the broken days
that hurt you before
there's so more ahead
'cuz when you are here with me
I think you would agree
it's clearer for us to see
what is distracting
and you are in too deep
I wanna be there when you are weak
to carry you all the way
you all the way
you way
you're in too deep
I gonna be there when you are weak
to carry you all the way
you all the way
you way

Set In Stone
I wrangled all my courage
summoned all my strength
A defiant journey
into the unknown
you think that I'd know better
from living life this long
to recognize a lie when it's been told
let it go
leave it all behind
all my troubles pale in comparison
to living in your lie
where the promises lay empty
on the bedroom floor
I have come to know
nothing's set in stone
I struggled with your silence
stood vigil in my manner
and through it all
I never left your side
but therein lies the danger
of genuine intention
where you find yourself
falling from that climb
Let it go
script it how you like
starring in the role of unpredictable
I'm studying your lines
your watercolor memories only reveal more
of what I've come to know
nothing's set in stone

Penny In A Well
dropped a penny down into a well
and I closed my eyes
thought of all the things I could have
what more could I want
should I ask for a house on a beach
my own remote island
or the riches of some noble king
maybe the peace of self medidation
but as the penny sinks down
I realize
all I want is you
for as long as my heart's beating
all I want is you
the secret's not worth keeping
you
cuz love is still worth giving
I could ask for my name in the stars
or the keys to some fancy car
or a map of a treasure hidden deep
but then what would it mean
it wouldn't mean anything
no it wouldn't mean anything
cuz
all I want is you
for as long as my heart's beating
all I want is you
the secret's not worth keeping
you
cuz love is still worth giving
all I want
all I want
is you
dropped a penny down into a well
and I closed my eyes
thought of all the things I could have
what more could I want
should I ask for a house on a beach
my own remote island
or the riches of some noble king
maybe the peace of self medidation
but as the penny sinks down
I realize
all I want is you
for as long as my heart's beating
all I want is you
the secret's not worth keeping
you
cuz love is still worth giving
I could ask for my name in the stars
or the keys to some fancy car
or a map of a treasure hidden deep
but then what would it mean
it wouldn't mean anything
no it wouldn't mean anything
cuz
all I want is you
for as long as my heart's beating
all I want is you
the secret's not worth keeping
you
cuz love is still worth giving
all I want
all I want
is you

Shades of Grey
take each day as it comes
'cuz it will never be returned
a moment savored
is a moment earned
my heart will now the way
even if it gets turned
any mistake
is a lesson learned
I'm finding as I go the more I learn the less I know
what's black and white today
turns into shades of grey
shades of grey
it's time take my time
no need to go to extremes
the truth isn't always
what it seems
I'm finding as I go the more I learn the less I know
what's black and white today
turns into shades of grey
shades of grey
I question everything
answer to no one
I don't need approval
my needy days are done
I'm finding as I go the more I learn the less I know
what's black and white today
turns into shades of grey
shades of grey
