The Touch

I gotta get my head in the game
'Cuz I go crazy when I weigh out the pros and cons
'Cuz, girl, it's always the same
I'm only thinking straight when your clothes are on
Now I'm waiting at your doorway
Just feeling like a glutton for punishment
But, baby, when you're standing there before me
I only notice you unbuttoned in front of it
There was a lesson in disguise
But I'm undressing it with me eyes
CHORUS
You called me up, I called you out
Took the words out of your mouth
Heaven knows we never say too much
Your lips were laced with kerosene
Breathing flames, so bittersweet
You brought the fire, tell me, baby, will I crave the touch
You let me trace your silhouette
Just to see if I might rise to the occasion
I'm on your lips like cigarettes
A story I might be surprised to be a page in
Baby, you read me well, tonight
And if you lead me, I won't put up a fight
CHORUS
When I get it, when I get it
Will I get enough?
Will I want it, will I want it
Will I crave the touch?
(There was a lesson in disguise
Baby, I'm guessin' that it's my demise)
CHORUS (X2)

The Fight
03:33

There's a hunger tonight
There's a hunger tonight
There's a hunger to fight
For tonight
In this corner I'm giving everything I got
What I got is not a lot
So tonight I call the shots
Givin' up on old places and faces so the basis
Of my articulation can express my need to taste this
Now I've been climbing up the walls to get a few hits
Try to knock me out, I'll multiply and won't give two sh*ts
Go on and on and call us loafers if the show fits
Listen, cuz the truth is
We were meant to do this
There's a hunger tonight
There's a hunger tonight
There's a hunger to fight
For tonight
Oh we are, we are tonight
Oh we are, we are the fight
Oh we are, we are tonight
Oh we are, we are, we are...
We're having hunger pains
And only one remains
So I volunteer as tribute like the hunger games
Ain't no flatlines on this heartbeat
Put my name up on the marquee
Watch the lights cut the night like shark teeth
Cuz this is my show
You can't go where I go
Take a picture with your iPhone
Cuz that's all you'll see of my home
When I'm gone, you can all feed on my legacy
And throw away the rest of me
There's a reoccurring dream and it occurred to me
that life ain't but a dream, but what I'm meant to be
So like a wolf I stay hungry
I told ya I'd become me
I can still remember who I was when I hadn't gotten paid yet
Wonder where the days went
Strugglin' to pay rent
Sittin' on the pavement
Wishing there was never any wonder
If I was any younger
Now my age is just a number
I was countin' down the days till there's a hunger
Oh we are, we are tonight
Oh we are, we are the fight

The Inside
03:49

She's got a habit of revealing herself
Whenever she gets wasted
Like how she left her open drink on the shelf,
I took my chance and replaced it
Now, it's a long way to
The other side of the room,
So let the calm come over you
Her steady hand got caught in the wind
And took a turn for my left side
Right after she discovered me and my friends
Plotting her final demise
But, she had it coming...
'Cuz she keeps me out
Like she's a stitch on the inside
Breaks me down
Till I'm all but dead on the inside
But, don't look now,
'Cuz girl I'm turning you inside out
She didn't get the hand that far,
'Cuz, man, she fell like an A-bomb
Another minute, and we got to the car
Her empty gaze let me know she'd play along
Now Simon-says you best play dead
Or else the Reaper man himself is gonna bring it, instead
So, baby, just get gone
And she'll keep me out
Like she's a stitch on the inside
Breaks me down
Till I'm all but dead on the inside
But, don't look now,
'Cuz girl I'm turning you inside out
'Cuz she keeps me out
Like she's a stitch on the inside
Breaks me down
Till there's nothing left on the inside
But, don't look now,
'Cuz girl I'm turning you inside out
You can breath in and breath out
And feel so well
Or you can get in or get out
And run like hell
And I can take you and break you
Till you die a little more inside, cuz I can't take this anymore
'Cuz she keeps me out
Like she's a stitch on the inside
Breaks me down
Till there's nothing left on the inside
But, don't look now,
'Cuz girl I'm turning you inside out
'Cuz she keeps me out
Like she's a stitch on the inside
Breaks me down
Till I'm all but dead on the inside
But, don't look now,
'Cuz girl I'm turning you inside out

Go Home

It's not our fate to turn around
What's in our way, we'll burn it down
Lighting up the atmosphere
We shout our message loud and clear
Let the ocean wash us out
Comin' in close, and the ghost resounds
'Cuz, underwater, we still breathe
The air on Mars, our victory
The air on Mars, our victory
Our victory
It's time to go
It's time to go
Give all you got or just go home
Mirror, mirror on the wall
We're nowhere near where we belong
'Cuz our reflection's out of place
We're outta control in outer space
Pick up the pace before we drop
Without a trace, the fire won't stop
We're calling all the shots and, now,
It's gonna get loud
It's time to go
It's time to go
Give all you got or just go home

Little Wild Child

Rock-a-bye, baby, straight up to the moon
Cradled in a blanket of stars
Let's go where the dish ran away with the spoon
I promise you it's not that far
You can find it when you follow your heart
Pretty baby, little wild child
Keep an open heart for crying out loud
'Cuz little lady, they say when love is true,
You're gonna see love coming back to you
Hush little baby, don't say a word
Your fairy tale's about to begin
Remember the heads and the pages you'll turn
And keep searching for your Prince Charming
There's a key on a string to unlock all your dreams
It's hanging just beyond your reach
So don't lose sight of a life that is more than it seems
There's a magic there that's hiding beneath, so
Pretty baby, little wild child
Keep an open heart for crying out loud
'Cuz little lady, they say when love is true,
You're gonna see love coming back to you
The way shine like the sunrise
Is how you look in your momma's eyes
And your love comes as no surprise
'Cuz it's been running wild
Pretty baby, little wild child
Keep an open heart for crying out loud
'Cuz little lady, I know your love is true, so
Pretty baby, little wild child
Keep an open heart for crying out loud
'Cuz little lady, they say when love is true,
You're gonna see love coming back to you

Where We Are
03:57

I remember where we were
The moment that you changed my world
An old cafe
The Nashville cityscape
You'd been livin' up the night
Under Broadway's neon lights
Then there we were
The rest was just a blur
And when my senses cleared,
I could see we were already here
Now, this is where we are
For today
And every day that comes our way
'Cuz these Texas stars
Guide us home
Right back to everything we've ever known
Yeah, this love that
We made at
The start
Has led us right where we are
The corner of that diner bar's
Where it all began with just a single spark
Remember that
Cold coffee and an honest chat?
Who knew that "Texas Special" sign
Would be the one to make the stars align
That's fine by me
The rest is history
And God only knows what our future will see, yeah
But we know that right where we are is right where we'll be
This love that we made at the start
Was always destined to get us this far
We got this love even when we're apart
Because we got where we are
And this love that we made at the start
Has led us right where we are

It all began one summer night
With Nineties bands that we both liked
We walked the Village in the dark
Got lost in conversations in the park
A shy goodnight got me a little nervous
But I still asked for that first kiss
Just had to see if it was love
And we sure knew that it was
So with a little luck
I'll be waking up
To the one I'm dreaming of
And sure as the stars above,
We're just lucky to have fallen in love
Let's connect the freckles on your skin
To find our way to summer's end
We'll turn a new leaf over
You're the four-leaf clover
That keeps me hoping that maybe
With a little luck
I'll be waking up
To the one I'm dreaming of
And sure as the stars above,
We're just lucky to have fallen in love
Sure as the stars above,
We're just lucky to have fallen in love
There's a moment when your smile breaks
Like a million stars shining on your face
When I rest my head, it all begins to sink in
This crazy, crazy feeling's got me thinkin'
With a little luck
I'll be waking up
To the one I'm dreaming of
And if I get down or thinks get tough
I know I can just look up
To the one I'm dreaming of
And sure as the stars above,
We're just lucky to have fallen in love
We're just lucky to have fallen in love

Chandelier

Someone once said, The heart of a family
Lies in the frame of form and formality
But, I digress...I've found that it's best to
Build a home much more endeared than the rest do
So this is my vow, a light I'll extend you
My life, love, and child, and all that we've been through
Just look at me, now
I know we'll have someone someday, somehow
There's hope in an open room
Much like the dreams and romance here
It lights up inside of you
Much like a chandelier
There's something about the way your arms surround me
The warmth of the sun, while the cold moon sleeps soundly
Just picture it now - let's both feast our eyes on
A new light that shines just beyond the horizon
There's hope in an open room
Much like the dreams and romance here
It lights up inside of you
Much like a chandelier
X2
Be wide-eyed and waiting,
'Cuz there will come a day to be just like we said
Hanging on to tiny fingers, not hanging by a thread
There's hope in an open room
Much like the dreams and romance here
It lights up inside of you
Much like a chandelier
X2

A Constant
03:37
|
|

I've got my hands on your hips
I've got my forehead against yours
And I feel you looking through me
You saw my fear of your embrace
My silent claustrophobia
The callow manner in which I think of you
It speaks along the way
And it frightens me, instead of coming down
It screams along the way
And your words remained a constant
In my mind, it was eternity
But it happened seconds prior
I'll sing you a quiet toast:
"Here's to finding what you want"
It speaks along the way
And it frightens me, instead of coming down
It screams along the way
And your words remained a constant
