Move On

It's as simple as throwing your clothes in a bag
Pointing your finger anywhere on the map
Turn the key, don't look back
Move on
Everything gets harder as the night rolls in
And I don't feel her breath on my skin
Or the rush of her touch
That made my heart start to spin
I'm movin on
We said our love would last forever
It would never end
I took her for granted and then
I've got to find a way to lift this heavy heart
Leave this place and make a brand new start
Step into the light
Get out of the dark
And move on
We said our love would last forever
It would never end
I took her for granted and then
It's as simple as throwing your clothes in a bag
Pointing your finger anywhere on the map
Turn the key, don't look back
Move on

Earthquake
04:04
|
|

When your hand came close to mine
Like some tectonic shift
Restless giants
Set the earth adrift
I thought I was so solid
Then I was rolling like a wave
The walls I built so carefully
Began to pitch and sway
Love is an earthquake
Unprepared, it took us by surprise
Love is an earthquake
Take my hand and hold on for the ride
Maybe we can keep each other safe
Love’s an earthquake
The first time I held him
So beautiful, so small
The ground beneath me opened up
I knew that I would fall
I’m no Shanghai tower
No reinforced concrete
I have no counterbalance
I’m swaying on my feet
Love is an earthquake
Unprepared, he took us by surprise
Love is an earthquake
Take my hand and hold on for the ride
Maybe we can keep each other safe
Love’s an earthquake
Living on a fault line
Fractures running deep inside a heart
Keeping it together
Clinging to the edge
Knowing it could all just fall apart
Love is an earthquake
Unprepared, it takes you by surprise
Love is an earthquake
Take my hand and hold on for the ride
Maybe we can keep each other safe
Love’s an earthquake

Train
03:43

There's a train moaning in the distance
A pouring rain offers no resistance
A woman's heart left shattered in pieces
I can hear the pain in the sound of the midnight train
Standing here staring at the station
In a downfall so heavy
Washing away my motivation
This trouble in my heart is poison in my veins
Gotta cross this street and board the midnight train
There's a slow rumble down the tracks
If I take this step there's no turning back
There's a train rolling through the distance
A pouring rain offers no resistance
A broken heart still shattered in pieces
Ease the pain with the sound of the midnight train

So Many Sundays
04:39
|
|

Your hand feels so tiny now inside of mine
Skin like dry paper, covered in vines
They spread like a roadmap of all that you’ve seen
I wish I could visit all the places you’ve been
We sit here together like so many Sundays
You say that’s what Sundays are for
It’s a tradition in our family
That’s something you just can’t ignore
Reverent and Solemn
A moment of Silence
Hands Joined around the table in love
Will we remember
Will we continue
Hands joined around the table in love
I feel your hand squeezing as you watch them drifting
Your eyes sending silent commands
I wish I could tell you, tell you they hear it
I hope someday they understand
They’re too young to follow the line
They don’t care what came before
Maybe it just doesn’t matter anymore
Someday I’ll be at the head of this table
The ghost of your fingers in mine
I'll carry on with all that you started
I'll pass it on when it’s time
Reverent and Solemn
A moment of Silence
Hands Joined around the table in love Will they remember
Will they continue
Hands joined around the table in love

Gone

Why did you have to go?
Couldn’t you see how much more
There was to say?
Was it too late to turn it around?
Were you really so afraid?
I was a child by an open window
Singin the words to my favorite song
You helped me find my voice
Now yours is gone
Beguiling, dying, fading away
Just trying to gain control
Did you know we could hear your pain?
Not enough love to fill the hole
I was a child by an open window
Singin the words to my favorite song
You helped me find my voice
Now yours is gone
Too soon
You were sitting on top of the world
They long to be close to you
You were such a lonely girl
I was a child by an open window
Joyfully singing along
You helped me find my voice
Now yours is gone

Nothing I Can Do
03:29

There's nothing like magnolia trees
In a gentle southern breeze
But they don't grow around here
In this city
I don't know how I wound up in this town
There's nothing I can do about it now
She was sitting on the steps
Of her front porch the day I left
I told her I'd be back
In a minute
I didn't plan to let her down
There's nothing I can do about it now
There's nothing I can do about running away
I didn't mean to go but I couldn't stay
There's nothing I can do to make it right
Standing all alone in the middle of the night
In the belly of this beast
Dirty sidewalks, dirty streets
Underneath a dirty sky
It isn't pretty
I turned my whole world upside down
There's nothing I can do about it now
There's nothing like magnolia trees
In a gentle southern breeze
But they don't grow around here
In this city

Something Better

Been kicking these stones far to long
Dust is all I can taste
This tin can living ain't quite heaven
Even angels left this place
Let's throw a prayer into the air
Stop living in misery
Hey baby what do you say?
I think it's time to leave
There's gotta be something
There's gotta be something better
There's gotta be something better than this
No steady work no steady pay
We can't leave and we can't stay
Round and round and round we spin
We turn our pockets inside out
Weeping wailing screeching shouting
Like devils in the wind
South Dakota, Idaho
Columbus Ohio
Anywhere we go
Has gotta be better than this
Been kicking these stones far to long
Dust is all I can taste
Maybe we can have half a chance
If we can make it to the interstate
I could roughneck on an oil rig
You could wait tables in OKC
Hey baby what do you say?
I think it's time to leave
There's gotta be something
There's gotta be something better
There's gotta be something better than this
