Lyrics
Can I dive deeper
My sister said Bubba change your plans
You can hold me by the hand
You can hold me by the hand
Crash made you cry
He made you smile
Never knew a better man
Never knew a better man
Never knew a better man
I’ll cut
Cut it out
I’ll get a goddamn grip
Hold on to it for a while
I’ll cut
Cut it out
I’ll get a goddamn grip
Hold on to it for a while
You used to talk about him much more
Now you can’t
Bring it up without a helpless feeling
I get it
Bubba you know I wanna fix it
When you’re down
When you need some help
I’m not around
God I hate it
But I’ll cut
Cut it out
I’ll get a goddamn grip
Hold on to it for a while
I’ll cut
Cut it out
I’ll get a goddamn grip
Hold on to it for a while

Lyrics
So many times it’s not the way I plan
Like there’s a siren ringing in my hand
I can’t hear it
Sounds like screaming it out at a whisper
Running down i-10
Until we see Lake CharlesMy mind is fed up
Cause my heart’s in charge
And I’m reeling
Loved you like it was all I’ve been dreaming
Don’t wanna get comfortable with anything that don’t feel right
Oh tell me Jean, do you see a light in my eye?
I’m at your exit
5 blocks to the house
You got a cousin says he can help me out
Sometimes I sink when i’m too low
You’re telling me yes and you no
Don’t wanna get comfortable with anything that don’t feel right
Oh tell me Jean, do you see a light in my eye?

Lyrics
Take a second
A minute
Take your time
I’ll sit quiet
We can be silent
That’s when you know
You’re true as a sunrise
If you ask me
Coming up on 31
All my friends are on my phone
Well come on
We can do a pivot
Be a game changer
You know it ain’t too late to be
A game changer
I was with my Uncle Tim
Listening to bootleg The Band
Loves me like a son my mom said
If I would only call him back
I don’t know why I don’t do that
I don’t know why I don’t
So take a trip to Texas
Get together with my friends
Been a while been too goddamn long
Well come on
We can do a pivot
Be a game changer
You know it ain’t too late to be
A game changer
Mister Heavy took a walk after dinner
Through the yard down to the levy last time
Full moon light bright blue eyed man
Searching for the right words helping where he can
Have a quick smoke sweet flower I’m high
Old lady neighbor with her dog walking by
Smile and a wave but he never gets a hi or a hello
Sing hello
Can we sing hello
My north star when I walk too far
Window shine
I hear you singing hello

Lyrics
Baby take a breather
You know you’ve been freaking out
How I wanna cool you off
Like your favorite season with the windows down
Blowing through your hair like wind
Before a big rain
Blowing through your hair like wind
Before a big rain
Will I always love you
Yeah
I’ll fall forever
You were first born
I’m a two kid
At the front door
We were caught up in it
Blame it on a season
Man it don’t get this dark
This time of year where I’m from
And after all is spoke and done
We can be honest
Are you having another hard time
I saw you hanging your head by the window
Saw you wipe your eyes
Maybe some help is worth a try
Maybe some help will work this time
Goddamn I swear I will always love you
Yeah
I’ll fall forever

Heartstring

Lyrics
If I’d gone where I could have been
Would we be what we ended with
If we crossed at another time
Where would we spend our lives
Does the world really take part
Where you end and I start
Have my best friends been met
I guess I seem upset
That’s why I run my mouth around like that
Cause I know what you know
That’s why I run my mouth around like that
Do you still feel too young
Time it’s tough to outrun
Can you catch what it would have took
To check off that notebook
Make it feel as a simple thing
To pull on my heartstring
I can think of a million times
That you changed my mind
That’s why I run my mouth around like that
Cause I know what you know
That’s why I run my mouth around like that

Lyrics
Walking a step at a time
Maybe not lose your mind
Knock on wood you said
Make a big difference when you
Wake up clean
You know what I mean
Wake up clean
You know what I mean
Wake up clean
You know what I mean
Wake up clean
You know what I
Yeah you know it ain’t easy at all
Looking for a soft place to fall
Sorry I missed your call last night
Caught me all blissed out buzzing
My bad
I ghosted again
My bad
I ghosted again
My bad
I ghosted again
My bad
I ghosted again I
Whisper in your ear
I’m loving my life
When things are looking up
I brace myself
I pray for our health
I hope you’re doing well
I pray for our health
I hope you’re doing well
Wake up clean
You know what I mean
Wake up clean
You know what I mean
Wake up clean
You know what I mean
Wake up clean
You know what I

Lyrics
Took my breath away
It was such a gorgeous day
So blue so gray
Would you wanna sing you said
Sing you a song I will
Sing you a song I will
Sing you a song I will
Sing you a song I will
Grandpa can you take a bigger bite
Come on man you need strength
Everyone needs a little more time
Goddamn don’t we all need more time
Big smile stay for a while
Help you out how I can
Make you proud how I can
Make you proud
Sing you a song I will
Sing you a song I will
Sing you a song I will
Sing you a song I will

Til I Let You Know

Lyrics
Long road
Parked outside across the street
Hurts to know
The things that you’ve been saying
It woke me up like water falling on my head
Cause you know my time is all I have
To give up your love for nothing
I won’t know why
Til I let you know
Our time is all I want
Can’t ignore that you don’t see that anymore
Til I let you know

Lyrics
Dark hair but lighter
When the hot days are longer
Try to be by the water
Now I haven't seen a moment pass
When I’m not a father
Or a first hand offer
To the one thing keeping me afloat
And it’s wonderful
I wanted you to know how much it meant
I know that you know how much it’s been
I needed you to stay right here and you did
I wanted you to know how much it meant
I can’t have no part in it
You told me it’s all so hazy
“I’m so sick and tired of being sick and tired lately”
If you’re still apart of it
I can hope that I will be freely
Giving all of everything
I know it’s not gonna be easy
I wanted you to know how much it meant
I know that you know how much it’s been
I needed you to stay right here and you did
I wanted you to know how much it meant

Song For Pete

Lyrics
You were my friend
You took my hand
Something so tough
Under your skin
My Papa Pete
The proud father
An endless love
My grandmother
For 60 years
I saw the torch
Just like a kid
On your front porch
You stood so tall
At the window
I cried so hard
Folding your clothes
I saw you and I saw me
I saw you and I saw Pete
Give a little bit
Give a little more you tried
A split second
Can last a life time
Teach me a lesson
How to stay humble with pride
Your expression
Your expression
I saw you and I saw me
I saw you and I saw Pete

Every Exchange

Lyrics
My sunset may burnout before I get ahold of it
Time turned its back on me
I thought I had a lot of it
In my mind you would hand me something real
Yet intangible
It seems I felt the same then as I do right now
I love the reddish stain
When you pressing your lips to my face
So many things could change
So I savor every exchange
Apart of me I can’t believe could be
Together time moves differently
Baby brown eyes looking off into the trees
Reflecting the light you bring
I got a long way to go running towards how I used to know myself
Tend to overthink how my reflections showing someone else
Can’t stare it away
I love the reddish stain
When you pressing your lips to my face
So many things could change
So I savor every exchange

Lyrics
Do you wanna give it up no way
Do you wanna dig a new hole every day
Searching for something you think you’ve been missing
Do you wanna give it up no way
Do you wanna dig a new hole every day
Searching for something you think you’ve been missing
It’s all in your heart
You say don’t doubt it boy
Don’t you know life’s too short
It’s all in your heart
You say don’t doubt it boy
Don’t you know life’s too short

Portrait

Lyrics
It is hard to forget how it went that night
Silhouettes burning out
Broken like glass from the second floor
Washed by a rush when the flooding came down
We were cut from the vine of our parents hands
Ran from the noise to the minivan
Lost down a path and got turned around
Since Jill moved to Ada
And Amy burned out
Your eyes are talking
And they don't seem fine to me
May as well be walking away
With your eyes turned from me
Bringing all I knew to what I don’t know
Two years later and you still have a hold
Hold my breath to the top of the hill
See the world move while I’m standing still
Your eyes are talking
And they don't seem fine to me
May as well be walking away
With your eyes turned from me

Lyrics
Let’s take the long way
We could use the extra mile
I could do a little dance
Do anything to make you smile
We’ll do a whole lot of talking
Don’t a lot have to happen
Sorry I took 6 days
Unemployment sinking in
How are you an angel
So sweet when I’m sleeping in
We’ll do a whole lot of talking
Don’t a lot have to happen
Break for me
I’ll clean up the kitchen
Take it easy

Lyrics
Oh, it really is bad news
Oh, it really is bad news
Oh, it really is bad news
Oh, it really is bad news
Oh, it really is bad news
Oh, it really is bad news
Oh, it really is bad news
A caution light
Said you would never give in
Pretty like a picture
Broken when it bent
Starlight, black sky
I'm taken by my view of the end
I remember when you said
"If I leave behind nothing, I got you to explain how it went" (damn)
'Cause you know my time is all I have
To give up your love for nothing, I won't know why
'Til I let you, 'til I let you go
Stumble around again
Bad dreams kept you up
Head high storming like a cloud
Man, I was so heart sick
I'm feeling better now
Never say never
That's what you were talking about
Lit by starlight, I swore you left town, man
Caught up in some bad news
Down south I-10
Lit by starlight, I swore you left town, man
Caught up in some bad news
Bad, bad news
'Cause you know my time is all I have
To give up your love for nothing, I won't know why
'TiI I let you, 'til I let you go
Our time is all I want
Can't ignore how you don't see that anymore
'TiI I let you, 'til I let you go

Lyrics
See the rain through my window
Watch it dampen the glow
Hear a distant voice humming
A tune that reminds you of you
Feel the golden wind thumbing
Through the linens we laid
Your laughter that moment
Stuck with me for ages
Thought I’d miss you just a little
3 evenings or 4
But my heart is still hurting
For your love, I ignored
