Broke And Breathless

I’m giving it all away
And all I’ve got left is
I’m buying up all your grey
Until I’m left broke and breathless
I can’t that were here again
This pathway's engraving
Your footsteps that lead the way
I see where you're dragging your feet dear.
I can see it from miles away
Choosing not to run today Oh
Take me by the hand and we’ll go
We’ll blame the storm for collapsing the silo
So why you so far away
You scream into the mountains
Just get it all out they said and it will just echo past them
Lets try this a different way
I miss all the small things
Like seeing you everyday
And trying to build us something
And taking your calls at night
And meeting it the middle of nowhere
And getting to sleep at night
Just knowing were getting somewhere
I can see it from miles away
Choosing not to run today - no
Take me by the hand and we’ll go
We’ll blame the storm for collapsing the silo
I will not be losing you to this.
By taking your calls at night
And meeting it the middle of nowhere
And getting to sleep at night
Just knowing were getting somewhere
I can see it from miles away
Choosing not to run today - no
Take me by the hand and we’ll go
We’ll blame the storm for collapsing the silo

One Shot Maybe

Everything I do is for a reason
Even in darker times you know I’ll be there
Now it's harder to just see it all the time
Will your heart fade out
Or Will it last for hours
Is the color true enough
Did it add up to your vision
Give it one shot maybe
Give me two shots maybe
Before you walk right out that door
Let me take you there
If there's a chance that you’ll stay
Let me show you what love is
Everything I do is for a reason
Now living without you I just suffer all the time
Now its hard to get an hour to ourselves
Will your heart burn out
Will it last for hours
Is the color true enough
Did it add up to your vision
Give me one shot maybe
Give me two shots maybe
Before you walk right out my door
Let me take you there
If there's a chance that you’ll stay
Let me show you what love is
And if you told me I should stay out of the way
I would promise to
And if you told me I should stay out of the way
I would promise to
I - I could promise you
Give me one shot maybe
Give me two shots maybe
Before you walk right out my door
Let me take you there
If there's a chance that you’ll stay
Let me show you what love is

Simple Sweet

All in all it's simple sweet
Something I can’t put my finger on
And you should know that I have tried and tried to replicate it
With sunny days spent outside - without a plan of action to speak of
I can’t explain this simple sweet
I can foresee not needing it from you
from you
You were right again, you were right again
So say what you want, you knew where we stood.
I had it all wrong, we got it so good.
You were right again, you were right again
So say what you want, you knew where we stood.
I had it all wrong, we got it so good.
So here's the thing- I hope you’ve heard
I finally planted flowers in our backyard
It was the thing we talked about and thought about when talk got hard.
So in the ground and with my hands
I’m drawing out an outline of our love.
And now I see where we went wrong
And I can finally say goodbye to you
to you
Oh- You were right again, you were right again you were right again
So say what you want, you knew where we stood.
I had it all wrong, we got it so good.
You were right again, you were right again you were right again
So say what you want, you knew where we stood.
I had it all wrong, we got it so good.
I won’t wait, till were wasted to say all the things that I should have said
No I can’t wait - I can taste it - all the things that went bad inside my heads
I won’t wait, till were wasted to say all the things that I should have said
I can’t wait - I can taste it - all the ways things went bad inside our head
You were right again, you were right again
So say what you want, you knew where we stood.
I had it all wrong, we got it so good.
You were right again, you were right again
So say what you want, you knew where we stood.
I had it all wrong, we got it so good.

Nuclear Love Song

Regardless of what comes
We’ve got each other
Well pretend this world end
With one another
There's a jukebox in the club
Where we bonded over love
All the soundtracks to our life
The cure, descendants, jackson 5
We both looked into each other's eyes
When all the world it falls apart
Turn off the news protect your heart
The nuclear explosions on its way
So pack your bags and choose a side
We’ve got to leave all our records behind
Time to live on for another day
Regardless of what comes
We’ve got each other
Well pretend this world’s end
With one another
When the sky is blown away
And that’s left is under feet
We won’t move we’ll stay in place
Stomp our feet and plead our case
Dancing ‘neath the black rain thick and sweet.
When all the world it falls apart
Turn off the news protect your heart
The nuclear explosions on its way
So pack your bags and choose a side
We’ve got to leave all out records behind
Songs will live on for another day
Regardless of what comes
We’ve got each other
We'll pretend this world's end
With one another
