The Waxed Moon The waxed moon is pulling at my blood Something about the city lights really gets it pumping good Still what I’d give to be with you right now Still keep on smiling, ‘cause it suits you so well Well, if you can’t find me in a Midwest city Someday I’ll have to meet you by the coast You’ll not forget me, I heard you say out loud Still fading out is what I fear the most With an old soul and these tired eyes There’s so much that I don’t know, and it’s such a short life This I know I’ve seen far too many times Love fails not because they don’t know how, but because they didn’t try So, if you can’t find me in a Midwest city Someday I’ll have to meet you by the coast You’ll not forget me, I heard you say out loud Still fading out is what I fear the most

Come Over 04:10
Come Over I want to say it’s okay until you believe it, until it makes me believe it ‘Cause you say you don’t know just how that feels If I say come over, don’t take it that way I done told you I love you, this burning is too true, I just want it to stay I see suffering in those icy eyes There’s frustration in each silent sigh Girl, to see you happy, you know I’d give just about anything ‘Cause you say you don’t know just how that feels If I say come over, I’m not sure you understand All that it means when I say I need to hold both your hands See, your company, yeah, it’s the best remedy for this lonesome man If I drink I will say just how I feel Yes, if I drink, guess I’ll be saying just how I feel Now the rain has let for me to stay yet another night I keep letting myself further down in this plight Well damn if you don’t hold me, or look in my eyes Still my favorite skin, and the blood that it covers Fills my favorite body where my favorite soul hovers And I don’t know why, but I still think in time you could be mine If I stay will I know just how that feels? Yes if I stay will I know just what you feel? Well if I stay will I know just how you feel?

Lupine Eyes 04:38
Lupine Eyes I have seen you with your guard up. I know just how tough you are Even then you’ve seen me seeing, hovering back but not too far I have seen you with your eyes wet. I know how fragile we are on some days Constructing walls around yourself just proves to be exhausting, well so is trying to work the gates But you’ve only seen me with that poker face on At times I try to let you know without coming on strong But then you aim those lupine eyes at me And I won’t speak for trying to breathe steadily Well I have seen you with your eyes all wet Ain’t it strange how the acts of others can bring on you such regret It isn’t fair, I know, but I’ve heard the streets of Heaven may be paved with gold And if Hell is full of fire then it will all be settled then But, for now you are alive so you may set your worries free And spend some time with me, yeah I have felt you with your guard down I took a peek into your soul It only makes it that much harder on the let down But these are things that you well know

No Place 02:51
No Place Well far too long on the road, no place to ease my load But my things are still in your walk-in, with a part of me I left long ago Behind you through the door, I see a pair of shoes on the floor That I’ve never seen before, far too big to be yours Now I know, I’ve no place on saying a word Guess I’ll go find a place to stay in this world Well I’m never satisfied, and you’ve been far too good to lie But in another time all things were better You were my anchor through that storm In the snow all safe and warm Oh, but it felt like so much more than escape from the weather Now I know, I’ve no place in saying a word Guess I’ll go find a place to stay in this world How will you remember me in years gone by Oh I know we could’ve had it in another time Or in another life

Addicted To Heartache Addicted to heartache, only so much love that I can take If you can’t let you break it off, then I will make a way for you to rue it all And when I think about things like this, how I wish I wasn’t me I wish I can see myself with you tomorrow but I can’t see it without addictive sorrow You see babe it’s just what I’ve grown used to, well I don’t want this side showing itself to you So addicted to heartache, only so much love that I can take And if you can’t let you break it off, then I will make a way for you to rue it all A sucker for mistakes, only so many right turns one can make Until you get the spins and you can’t see straight, so say it again, won’t you please just say And I will make a way for you to rue it all And when I’m laying with you I wish that I was alone, so I could pretend nobody knows if I’m home Well I know it’s not a healthy way to be, but the cycle is so cold I can’t count on me So blow my mind go on crack the mold, ‘cause everything else is already so old So addicted to heartache, only so much love that I can take And if you can’t let you break it off, then I will make a way for you to rue it all A sucker for mistakes, only so many right turns one can make Until you get the spins and you can’t see straight, so say it again, won’t you please just say And I will make a way for you to rue it all

The Moving Song I met a real-life angel and she is lonely, saving lives can really tear you up Some love what’s around, some love what’s above, but as for her, she just loves love And once I thought that I would marry young, I knew for sure that I had found the one But soon I did see that she had not found me. Some girls just want to have their fun So I’m singing, Home is anywhere that I can lay my head But the moss begins to grow, and it’s time to move again I’m moving along, but am I really moving on I knew a girl named after a Ramones song, a punk rocker and she was very bad But I think that’s why I wanted her that night, before I left that city at last Now I like hangin’ around with Mary, she does to me all the things I like But when she’s running dry, man I can still get high. It “resinates” with a little time Singin’…. Home is anywhere that I can lay my head But the moss begins to grow, and it’s time to move again I’m moving along, but am I really moving on

Kind of Life (Wayward) I cut my losses and took the bus alone Lost all my friends and my sweet girl, no place to rightly call my home I’m not too sure what happened, but I heard that I was there The night before I awoke in a holding cell, with blood dried in my hair Felt like I didn’t need another day, said “Lord, I think I’m about ready to go” He says “Son, you’ve been goin’ all the wrong ways” Well I guess He had to show me for me to know It’s high time I pick up my Bible, and put down the bottle Better clean up my talkin’, and straighten out my walkin’ Set the pipe to the side, so to air out my mind You see I done been had by that wayward kind of life Goodbye to the City of Fountains, hello Great Smokey Mountains Everything that I’ve lost, well it ain’t worth another tear Gotta rest for awhile, try rememberin’ how to smile Gonna find me a good job and save up for a career And all the ways that I have hurt you, those were things that I never chose to do I think that I, I just might never love another, Oh but a nice southern girl may be waitin’ for me somewhere, yeah In the meantime, gonna pick up my Bible, and put down the bottle Better clean up my talkin’, and straighten out my walkin’ Set the pipe to the side, so to air out my mind You see I done been had by that wayward kind of life Well it’s high time I pick up my Bible, and put down that bottle Better clean up my talkin’, and straighten out my walkin’ Set the pipe to the side, I gotta air out my mind You see I done been had by that wayward kind of life Kind of life, yeah yeah
