Keep A Hold

Every mornin I
Wake up with the sun
Get out of my bed
N go to find some fun
And I’m glad I get the chance
To go out with you
Fill our bags up
With things that we don’t need
Bring your ugg boots and all your cousin’s weed
You pack way too much
And I don’t take enough
But I’ll hold onto you
Keep A Hold on you
We’ll keep on driving till
The old abandoned store
Where we used to get and sit down by the shore
And you always wanted sauce
But I wanted gravy
Beyond the willow trees
To find the hidden gate
To breathe the open air is always worth the wait
And we don’t know and we don’t care
If the world’s gonna change right now
Cause I’ll hold onto you
Keep A Hold on you
Yeah I’ll hold onto you
Keep A Hold on you
Cause I’ve been pushing against the tide
I’m feeling like I’m treading water
Can you rescue me?
And I’ve been sinkin
I don’t know why feels like my head is goin under
You are all I need
(cause I’ll hold on to you)
Cause I’ve been pushing against the tide
I’m feeling like I’m treading water
Can you rescue me?
(keep a hold on you)
And I’ve been sinkin
I don’t know why feels like my head is goin under
You are all I need
Every night I fall asleep with the moon
Close my eyes so I can dream of you
Slowly losing consciousness
Like music fading too soon

Better Man

I’ve been away
Far too long for me to stay
Oh how you’ve grown so fast
You were younger when I left ya
Now you look older than I remember
Time has been slipping through my hands
I wish I was a better man
I left it way too late
Now you call me by my name
It feels out of shape for me
Oh your family moved on
Now it’s better that I’m gone
Its for the best that I just let you be
I’m trying not to think about it too much
I’m trying to avoid the space between us
No matter what I do you’re always out of reach
I’ve been away
Far too long for me to stay
Oh how you’ve grown so fast
You were younger when I left ya
Now you look older than I remember
Time has been slipping through my hands
I wish I was a better man
I made a mistake
When i packed and walked away
Never taught ya, to be the man you should become
I should've tightened up your ties
And held the twinkle in your eyes
And been there for the years to come
I’m trying not to think about it too much
I’m trying to avoid the space between us
No matter what I do you’re always out of reach
I’ve been away
Far too long for me to stay
Oh how you’ve grown so fast
You were younger when I left ya
Now you look older than I remember
Time has been slipping through my hands
I’ve been away
Far too long for me to stay
Oh how you’ve grown so fast
You were younger when I left ya
Now you look older than I remember
Time has been slipping through my hands
I wish I was a better man

Ghost Without You
03:23

Sometimes I’m lower than
Forgotten socks in your drawer
I’m just another can in a stranger’s hand
And thrown onto the floor
I’m a pen without it’s paper
And a gardenless landscaper
A stray without a place I can call home
Well I’m just an ice cream
That was left out in the sun
You melt away my flavors
And you left me without some-
One to fill my cup
From the bottom up
Like climbing up a mountain with no rope
Hey yeah, where are you?
Are you somewhere
I can find you?
But you ain’t there
I’m a ghost without you
Another day without the sunshine through the clouds
I’m just a dollar coin
That fell out of your pocket in the couch
Did you forget about me?
Because I forgot as well
I don’t blame you cause
It’s easy to get lost in a crowd
Hey yeah, where are you?
Are you somewhere
I can find you?
But you ain’t there
I’m a ghost without you
In this game of poker
I’m the joker
Put to the side and never thought of again
In this game of poker
I’m the joker
Put to the side and never thought of again
I’m in this game of poker and I’m the joker
Put to the side and never thought of again
I’m in this game of poker and I'm the joker
Put to the side
Hey yeah, where are you?
Are you somewhere,
I can find you?
But you ain’t there
Where are you?
Are you somewhere?
(nah nah nah, nah nah nah)
I’m a ghost without you
I’m a ghost without you
Just a ghost without you
I’m a ghost without you

Don't You Miss Me
03:41

I lost my money in a gambling game
Gave it to the devil when I signed my name
This fire is warm but my blood is cold
This is what it feels like without my soul
Oh Oh whoah
Oh Oh whoah
I can’t get to sleep by closing my eyes
So I prayed to the lord until I cried
I said Lord, can you help me
I’m losing my way?
I’m not the man I thought I was today
Oh oh whoah
Oh oh whoah
I feel like running away
But I’m chasing my tail
Guess I keep looking back
Always hiding the pain
Tell my friends I’m okay
Guess I’m just strange like that
And I could’ve done better but I’m hiding it all inside
And we never really know
All the people that we’ll leave behind
Don’t You Miss Me
I gave my time to the working man
So I took what I could and I made my plans
I wanna see the mountains and the red gum trees
And I wanna see you before I leave
Oh oh whoah
Oh oh whoah
I feel like running away
But I’m chasing my tail
Guess I keep looking back
Always hiding the pain
Tell my friends I’m okay
Guess I’m just strange like that
And I could’ve done better but I’m hiding it all inside
And we never really know
All the people that we’ll leave behind
Don’t You Miss Me
Lay me down in a boat on the sea
Standing on the shore
Watch the waves take me
Burning the horizon
Drifting away
Hold onto your tears
For when we meet again

On The Run

When I was younger
I was a fool for your love
And now we’re strangers
Like the soon and the moon above
I have to get away
To the hills where the river flows
I am a runaway
Your face is everywhere I go
So watch me leave this shitty town
I'm going to a place
Where no one else will be around
So watch me leave this shitty town
You know I never needed you
Now I’m driving out and getting away
Watch my broken taillights fade
I’m free to do anything
Free to be whoever I want
Now I throw my hair all over the place
And I’m eating off of paper plates
I’m free to do anything
Free to be whoever I want
Smoking cigarettes
Even though I hate the smell
How quickly we forget
Just how to be ourselves
But now I’m far away
With just a suitcase in my car
And I’m sleeping out
Under a blanket of stars
So watch me leave this shitty town
I'm going to a place
Where no one else will be around
So watch me leave this shitty town
You know I never needed you
Now I’m driving out and getting away
Watch my broken taillights fade
I’m free to do anything
Free to be whoever I want
Now I throw my hair all over the place
And I’m eating off of paper plates
I’m free to do anything
Free to be whoever I want
Now I’m driving out and getting away
Watch my broken taillights fade
I’m free to do anything
Free to be whoever I want
Yeah I throw my hair all over the place
And I’m eating off of paper plates
I’m free to do anything
Free to be whoever I want
When I was younger
I was a fool for your love
