The Brave Ones

Speckled lights across the night sky
Ears are ringing after a long, loud day oh twenty years ago
This was hillside
He promised her a family and love forever long
Promised her he’d never give up on their dreams and love songs
Oh twenty years ago they were happy
Falling in love is for the brave ones and giving up is harder than it seems
And if I ask too much of you does that give you the right to leave
He said people just don’t stay together anymore
Said, “I don’t even know what staying together is for”
I said “twenty years ago it was a good idea.”

Campfire Story
04:45
|

|
Last time I saw Sam it was six summers ago
The sky opened up and white flowers covered the hills like snow
He said, “Hallie, where does time go?” I said “Hell if I’ll ever know.”
Yesterday I was a child and tomorrow I will be long gone
Actually in some ways I am more afraid than I’ve ever been
I’m afraid of loving, I am afraid of not loving and I’m afraid to be free
But most of all I’m afraid of how he looks at me
My heart lives 12 miles from where it wants to be
Lost between the mountains, Indian summers, and Tennessee
Misplaced memories, romantic ghosts and dreams
Life is a campfire story

At All
04:53
|

|
There are so many different lives I’d like to lead
One of them moves fearlessly accomplishing all her dreams
The other one moves slowly; watches the rain roll down the valley
She falls in love too easily, and she knows the way back home
Part of me still wonders the way things might have been
If I met you tomorrow, instead of way back then
Timing never comes easy, and rain hasn’t come to the valley
I fell in love to easily and I don’t know the way back home
Can you help me to see? Aimlessly wandering hasn’t made me feel free
Is it love if we never fall? Did I ever know love at all?
There’s no way of knowing how the future will unfold
All I want is happiness and somebody warm to hold
Maybe we get in the way of the simple joy that life’s made of
It’s time I stop being afraid of who I was born to be

Another Night
04:51
|
|||
|
Loneliness it’s nice to see you, there beneath the light
Underneath the blanket covers of a harmless night
Keep your busy mind as dizzy as the passing time
Try to hold yourself together it’s on you this time
Don’t lie awake
Don’t you dare dream,
It’s a mistake thinking what could be
Most days I am tired and numb
I’m sleepwalking through time
Thinking of your face, your hands, your body inside mine
I’m failing, I’m falling, it’s 3am and I’m calling
And I know it’s not a good idea
I miss you, I’ll kiss you, forget about the issues baby
Let’s pretend the end is not in sight
Let’s break up another night
These songs are nothing but stories suspended in time
Truths that sing tattooed on my heart,
Entirely mine

Colorado Song
03:50
|
|||
|
As the light shines through my windowpane, I think of you
The warmth of your skin and I wonder; when I’ll be happy again
And if there is only this earth, and if there is only this morning
Ill sing like your favorite birds, just to remember a piece of your love
Cuz all I wanna do is walk beside you
In the cold silver air of the Colorado snow,
And although time moves faster than we want it to
I refuse to lose you
If life gets better than this you’ll have to prove that it is so
Cuz I’m in love with this moment
The way that the sunlight caresses your skin

Even Better
04:11
|
|||
|
Lying awake inside your bed
Thousands of thoughts are running through my head
Normally I’d be restless, but tonight, you told me that you love me
Really thought I’d be alone
Just me, my guitar, and the road
Now I’d rather be at home
Lying safe in your arms
I don’t know what tomorrow will bring
Daddy always said, “don’t be sure of anything.”
But if you ask me a year from now
I think I will love you even better
Than I love you now
Sometimes I test your patience
Sometimes your solitude drives me crazy
Sometimes I didn’t think we’d make it
Then you tell me that you love me

I found a postcard of a girl in a bathing suit
I bought it with the intention of sending it to you
It reminded me of how far away I am from you
And I tried to draw a picture of your legs crossed next to mine
It didn’t look like us, and I gave up after the third time
Cuz there’s more to me than missing you
Yeah there’s more to me like there is more to the sky than blue
I don’t know love, but I do know lonely is easier with two
I’ll be honest I want to do more than lie next to you
Cuz there’s more to me than missing you
Yeah there’s more to me like there is more to the sky than blue
I find it hard to give up on ideas
You said we’d meet again, well baby it’s been two years
Is there more to me than missing you
Is there more to me, is there more to the sky than blue?

Do It All Again
04:26
|
|||
|
I just had a dream that you changed your mind
I woke up happy for the first time since we parted ways
I’m sitting on the bed crying my thousandth tear
Looking at old photos of our memories of the year
At night the memories all flood back
And I am taken right back
If I loved you better
If you held me more
If I changed my needs a bit
Could we have been more?
I’ll never understand
How you’ll never again hold my hand
How you’d rather leave us than give our love a chance
Its 6am the day will soon begin again
The birds will sing, the sun will shine
And I’ll have to pretend I’m fine
I don’t regret loving you
Not even for the pain
If you asked me, even now
I would do it all
Again

Joshua Tree
04:22

Joshua tree, wise and sturdy
You change with the wind, yet stand tall
Joshua tree, can you help me?
It seems I’m not like you at all.
April passed and my sadness lasts
I can’t seem to find relief
Joshua tree can you help me?
I’m not as strong as they think
Oh but maybe at the end of the summer
My hopes and my fears wont be in vain
Maybe at the end of the summer
This song will be worth all the pain
Joshua tree, does he love me?
Sometimes I know and then I think
That he loves the idea of me
And the real me wont last another year

Meant To Meet You
05:06

I don’t know what to say, it’s been years since I’ve felt this way
Easy come, easy go, I don’t know which way the wind will blow
You’re leaning closer to me
I think I want you more than you think
If it’s my love you think you need, oh baby let’s see
Sitting here listening to all the words coming out of you
Thinking of all the ways I’d like to know more about you
You’re leaning closer to me
I think I want you more than you think
If it’s my love you think you need, oh baby let’s
See how fast time can fly cuz kissing you makes me feel alive and
If I come off too strong, just know that I have been waiting for so long
And it’s scary because love is seldom right, and seldom true
But I was meant to meet you
I’m quickly carried away in ideas of what could be
Fantasies of our lives, hold me back, you are scaring me
You’re leaning closer to me
I think I want you more than you think
If it’s my love you think you need, oh baby let’s
Babe you know the road is a long one
Maybe I’ve got farther to go
But for now lets take a detour
End up somewhere between my mistakes and your arms
