New Day
02:43

Thirty-six years doesn't matter at all
When it just takes a moment for all of these walls
That I've built to come crashing to earth the way everything does
And the pieces of me that I've bled on this page
Will be memories and ghosts when I step on the stage
But I'll sing them to life to remember the man that I was
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
I stand on the street and I stare at the moon
But the clock ticks away and the sun's coming soon
Tomorrow's arriving whether I'm ready or not
And all I'm embracing and all I avoid
And all I've created and all I've destroyed
And all that I've learned and all I've already forgot
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
Spinning around on this rock every year
We are who we are until they disappear
Everything changes and most of it changes you
The man that you see here may look just like me
But he's not who I was and he's not who I'll be
You blink and it's morning and suddenly everything's new
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
And it's time to wake up

Come Find Me

Come find me
Come and save me from these bars
From this cage that I've constructed out of broken hearts and scars
Remind me
Of the man I used to be
Before all the things I am
Get the better of me
I thank God for little favors like the music in my brain
It's the only thing aside from you that's ever kept me sane
And when all the noise and violence burns like poison in my veins
Come find me
Come find me
Cause I'll go crazy
If I have to live this way
Fight my demons til the morning and then sleep away the day
So come on, baby
Let me taste your kiss
Come and hold me like you used to, just don't leave me here like this
I thank God for little favors like the music in my brain
It's the only thing aside from you that's ever kept me sane
And when all the noise and violence burns like poison in my veins
Come find me
Come find me
When the cold reaches my bones
And I can't fight it on my own
When it feels like all the beauty and the love is far behind me
Come find me
I thank God for little favors like the music in my brain
It's the only thing aside from you that's ever kept me sane
And when all the noise and violence burns like poison in my veins
Come find me
Come find me
Come find me
Come find me
Come find me
Come find the man I used to be
Before all the things I am get the better of me

When I'm Southbound
03:49
|
|||
Standing on the platform, waiting on the train
Screaming at the storm clouds trying to make it rain
I know that when I'm southbound everything will change
Standing on the platform, not another soul in sight
Willing my eyes open, I didn't sleep at all last night
I know that when I'm southbound everything will be alright
I know that when I'm southbound, then I'll be ok
And all my restless days will end
So I'm praying that the wind
Will blow me home again
Standing on the platform, wondering what I'm gonna do
The middle of my heart's been frozen to a shade of blue
When I make it south, then I'll be safe and warm with you
When I tilt my head southbound and the air is still
I can hear you every now and then
Praying that the wind
Will blow me home again
Standing on the platform, waiting on the train
Screaming at the storm clouds trying to make it rain
I know that when I'm southbound everything will change
I know that when I'm southbound everything will change

They bled me out
And watched me fade away
I had my doubts
That I'd make it anyway
The rich men danced away
From the messes that they made
And left us here to pay the bill
And I can't seem to write a song about it
Even though it's all I think about
I can't seem to wrap my words around it
I can't write a song about it now
If I had been
Made of stronger stuff
Maybe then
I would have been enough
But you just danced away
From the messes that I made
I can't say you're to blame, my love
And I can't seem to write a song about it
Even though it's all I think about
I can't seem to wrap my words around it
I can't write a song about it now
It's eating at my soul
And I'm the only one who knows
And I can't seem to write a song about it
Even though it's all I think about
I can't seem to wrap my words around it
I can't write a song about it now
