Back on the road

Four minutes after midnight
I should have been asleep long ago
But I wanted you to know
I’m happy that you’re happy
And I’m wishing you nothing but the best
Now it’s time for rest

But my mind keeps searching for something  
Have I lost my way I don’t know
Gotta get back on the road 

You see I thought you’d ride the road with me 
Hair flying out behind us in a summer wind
We’d find the sounds that match to every moment
And stay awake till the sun rose to tie up all the loose ends
I thought that we’d be friends 

But my mind remembers the one thing 
Keep it in focus I’ve been told
Gotta get back on the road  

I always knew that I would fall
I still don’t know if I will shatter
I got lost in the details here front of me
But there was only one thing
That really mattered

Waking up in California
Sun in my eyes
Song in my heart 
Gotta go back to the start
And the fire of the phoenix is extinguished
With the waves that crash on the shore
I want this and nothing more

But my soul keeps searching for one thing 
Have I lost my way I don’t know
Gotta get on the road

Get back on the road

1/1000

Walking through the city after dark 

Trying to forget who you are 

I don’t know where you are

I walk up to the bar

He smiled and asked me what I’d like to drink

I don’t care, I just don’t want to think 

He handed me my drink

His hair was just like yours

But no one in this world will ever have your eyes

It’s the little things

Bringing back what used to be 

Stolen memories

Walking through the city once again 

Hear the music from a far-off band 

I like the sound

I wander in 

He looks at me then he starts to play 

I meet his eyes and then I look away 

He sings that he’ll be true 

But he just isn’t you 

And no one in this world could ever make me cry

Like the little things 

You sang and said so soft to me 

Possibilities 

Here in this small town I get the big picture

You’ll never remember me, never come back here

I’m one of a hundred — one of a thousand 

To me you’re one of a kind

I need to get you out of my mind 

And all the little things... 

When the pieces settle

At some point I heard your song again 

And I didn’t cry

Or even notice that I didn’t 

Until I realized I sang the harmony

But the melody was missing

You nod your head in passing

And we walk our separate ways

But I remember you February fondly

Blue sweater silver sunglasses 

And I smile

And you come looking for me 

In the snow and 

I hardly see you there 

And you want to say hello 

So we stand outside hair whiter by the moment

Until I drive away

Time heals all and covers up the love that once was there 

But your voice on the phone brings it back in a moment 

Your voice and your name take me back to the time when it was just you and me and a million stars 

Dancing under a full moon in the valley

Swaying and turning like time 

But I stop and remember it’s over 

Remembering’s not realistic

And I hang up and go about my day 

Next year will be better now that I’ve let you go 

Next year will be easier when I don’t feel it anymore 

If it comes back it’s yours they say

But I don’t want it to be that way  

I let you go but I’m the one who’s gone

Up and Out

Walking on sunshine 

It’s a beautiful day 

It’s raining but that’s the best kind anyway

What’s that playing

My favorite song 

Girl on the street says hey let’s sing along

Who’s that in front of me

It’s an old friend 

I met yesterday saying hello again

Hold them close just a moment 

Cause all we have are moments 

And we don’t know what tomorrow’s gonna bring

What I gonna do with all this love 

Can’t keep it all inside it’s burning up

Go and look outside and find the one

Who needs some of their own

What I gonna do when the song’s been sung 

Let it echo out now loud and long 

When it fades away it’s reached someone 

Who needed your voice  

Send it up and out 

Make faces at a baby 

Pet a friendly dog 

Listen to a story told by someone who lived it long ago

Hug a friend who’s crying 

Help someone in need 

You’ve been given so so much and it’s time to let it go 

Love is not a mirror 

Reflecting back at you 

Love is like a window 

Go on and send it through 

(Send it up and out)

Can’t hold it back can’t hold it down

Send it out and change this world now 

Send it up and out ...
