Settling
03:30
|

Don't come 'round tonight
I don't want to fight you
Don't want to be lied to anymore
I've heard it all before
So much for your promises
They'd been better left unsaid
They're stuck inside my head
If I'm not mistaken, I'm settling for second
It's written on my crying face
I don't believe I can beg you for another day
But that's what I always say
Now that you're away
Are you going to stay this time
Are you going to change your mind
Playing all these games
I wish we wouldn't have changed
I really can't explain us now
We'd be better off if we had gone
Our separate ways
If I'm not mistaken, I'm settling for second
It's written on my crying face
I don't believe I can beg you for another day
But that's what I always say
Now are you going to love me
Are you going to fight for me
Promise that you'll never, ever leave me please

The Recluse
03:25

I came home tonight
I came home so I could hide out
The shadows have become my sun
And I feel like I'm the only one who's shaded
I drove all alone
I didn't want to let my thoughts roam
Right inside your ears
Turn an awkward silence into tears
Well, I feel like I
I feel like I'm only human
Well, I feel like I
I feel like I'm only human
And I came home tonight
For the record to set things right
Yes, I would agree
When you let it out it sets you free
It sets you free
Well, I feel like I
I feel like I'm only human
Well, I feel like I
I feel like I'm only human
Throw me to the sun
Cause I don't want to be the only one here
Open up these shades
Let me know my real name
Let me know my real name
Well, I feel like I
I feel like I'm only human
Well, I feel like I
I feel like I'm only human

Roads

I don't know
I don't know which way I'm going
I just called to let you know
When you called me
Reminded me how much you loved me
Said you'd called to say hello
You've always love me
Always love me
Heaven knows
I've been traveling dark roads
Well, I wish it wasn't so
Will you always love me
Always love me
If I could take back all these things
Take back thoughts they bring
Take back all my innocence
I would
Take back all these things
Take back thoughts they bring
Take back all my innocence
I would
I would chase away my selfishness
I'd trade it in for love instead
I'd beg for all my innocence
Beg for all my innocence
I would

Grace
02:59
|

I fell on my face again
I swear it never ends
I guess I'm your replica
But just someone who pretends
I fell on my face again
So I tried to make amends
But it only put on the floor
Begging a forgotten friend
Grace, what a lovely thing
Grace, what a lovely thing
Grace, what a lovely thing
It got me on my feet again
Fall again, I can feel it
Please don't let me
Fall again, I can feel it
Please don't let me
Grace, what a lovely thing
Grace, what a lovely thing
Grace, what a lovely thing
It got me on my feet
Grace, what a lovely thing
Grace, what a lovely thing
Grace, what a lovely thing
It got me on my feet again
Yes, it got me on my feet again

Bold Son

Don't look back you've gone so far
It's safe where you are
Don't be scared you're not alone
So far from home
And don't play timid
Don't play cold
Be bold, son
Be bold, son
You'll wish you had
When the day is done
Be bold, son
Be bold, son
Look ahead, that's where you'll be
Do you believe me?
And don't be scared you've gone so far
It's safe where you are
And don't play timid
Don't play cold
Be bold, son
Be bold, son
You'll wish you had
When the day is done
Be bold, son
Be bold, son
Sing out
Sing nut
Sing out

Complacency
04:10
|

I gotta hide
I gotta hide away
Hopefully I'm not gonna stay
I've strayed so far that I cannot face the ones
I've held so close, but now let down
Sunday mornings
They come to soon
So I put on my face
They're all looking right through
Heavy burdens coming over me
They won 't let me
Won 't let me be, no
Complacency
It's got a hold on me
Come back
Come back you burned out flame
I've lost you once again
I cannot tell if you're here
I wish you were nearer
But I can't go back
'Cause it's way too far
This is just the way
The way things are
But I can't ignore what happened then
I felt a peace
I felt a friend
Come back
Come back you burned out flame
I've lost you once again
I cannot tell if you're here
I wish you were nearer

Advice From Them
03:10
|
|||
Did you trade it in for gold
Did you trade it in for all the things you
Wanted from this world
Did you sell out for a song
Did you sell out 'cause you wanted
Desperately to belong
Don't you take advice from them
Don't you take advice from them
I saw you stand upon the stage
Saw you craving all the adjectives the
Wealthy critics gave
Then you fed from every hand
You forgot what kind of man you are
Don't you take advice from them
Don't you take advice from them
They'll sneak away your soul
And you won't even know
They'll make you cross the line
And you won't find your way back this time
So don't you take advice from them
Don't you take advice from them
Don't you take advice from them
Don't you take advice from them

Melody, come speak my heart now set me
Melody, come out now and carry me
Melody, you've got a story in you set it free
Melody, you'd be a fool to let it be
So I'll take my chances on you
I'll be romantic with you
I'll face the consequences with you
Come on, Melody
Melody, you've got a story in you set it free
Set it free
Melody, you'd be a fool to let it be
Yes, you'd be a fool
So don't give up until you've tried it
Do anything, but don't you hide it
So I'll take my chances on you
I'll be romantic with you
I'll face the consequences with you
And I'll take my chances on you
I'll be romantic with you
I'll face the consequences with you
Come on, Melody
Come on, Melody
Come on, Melody

Dragons
03:55
|

It's up in my head, it's up where I see
I don't agree with what you're telling me
I'm just a boy, do I have what I need
Foolish I don't want to be
If you could choose anyone,
Would you place your bet on me
To slay all these dragons
And cross these uncrossable seas?
If given the chance, would you
come sail away with me?
It's up in my head, it's up where I dream
It's up in this place without reality
I've got a sword and I'm willing to swing
Maybe they'll crown me a king
But if you could choose anyone,
Would you place your bet on me
To slay all these dragons
And cross these uncrossable seas?
If given the chance, would you
Come sail away
If given the chance, would you
come sail away with me?
I'd give up my whole life
Just to sing out a song if I knew it was right
My whole life,
Just to sing out a song and I wouldn't think
twice
If you could choose anyone,
Would you place your bet on me
To slay all these dragons
And cross these uncrossable seas?

I'm Jesse Kline
Sick and poor, I'm color blind
But I'm not a fool
So what am I suppose to do?
Just Out here on my own
Sick of being all alone
I'm on my way
A friend of yours was mine today
He even stayed
To treat me like I was okay
I was out here on my own
Today I wasn't all alone
Today I was a king
I saw it in your eyes
I've never felt so good inside
I stood a little taller
I couldn't help but sing
Today I was a king
Today I was a king
I cannot sleep
'Cause I cannot stop the memory
That he would stay
To treat me like I was okay
I was out here on my own
Today I wasn't all alone
Today I was a king
I saw it in your eyes
I've never felt so good inside
I stood a little taller
I couldn't help but sing
Today I was a king
Today I was a king

She's never been real bad before
She is someone who'd say
You better stay away from all of those
Or you won't get to your home
You won't get to heaven
He is someone who sailed away
And everybody said
You' re gonna wind up dead before
You reach your door
And you won 't get to your home
You won't get to heaven
Where is the place,
What fills the space you call home?
Pack up your bags and
Figure it out all alone
It's not always easy, you know
It' s not always ease, know
Do you know?
Where is the place,
What fills the space you call home?
Pack up your bags and
Figure it out all alone
He is someone who sailed away
When he came home they said
He doesn't seem the same
What's changed?
What is his name?
Did he get to his home?
Did he get to heaven?
HIDDEN TRACK
Down by the Riverside
Mother used to warn us,
"Don't go down that way."
Though we often did it,
Went down by the
River and played
She said, "Children you slip and fall
And you might not get away."
But danger made us want it more,
So we went by the river and played
Hot summer afternoons,
Barefooted at the water 's edge
Having a good time, Oh yeah,
But her voice was in our heads
"Children, you could slip and fall
And we might not hear your cry."
But danger made us want it more,
She couldn' t realize
That we could feel it,
We could feel it yeah,
We wished that she could see
Eight years old down by the river was the
Best place you could be
Down by the river
Down by the riverside
Down by the river
Down by the riverside
Now I'm in the water,
I'm in over my head
I tried to keep my balance,
Remembering what she said
"Children you slip and fall
And you might not get away."
But danger made us want it more,
So we went by the river and played
'Cause we could feel it, we could feel yeah,
And we wished that she could see
Eight years old down by the river was the
Was the best place you could be

I'm probably what Bob Ross would sound like if he'd been a singer-songwriter. Calming, positive music with a hint of sadness.
