won’t you shed
some light on this
drowned in tears
too many bitter years
I once was lost
until you came
my father at his best
and at what cost
did you believe
you could walk away
i would have walked
a thousand miles
to have you see my son once more
i’ve come undone
that’s not to say
that i’m the only one
here I am
i’ve learned
traveled far
it makes sense now
don’t ask me how
i believe that i can see
i am the father now
i’d like to think if you could see
you’d be proud of me
i would have walked
a thousand miles
to be with you today
i would have run
to see you one more time
i would have walked a thousand miles
i would have walked a thousand miles

and the sprockets took us far away
pedaled with our friends all night and day
like a rocket through the galaxy
in a world about you and me
run run run run run away
run like we have all night
live like you have nine lives
love like you have the right
run yeah this is your life
and the summers with our cars
and how we tried to drive so far
run run run run run away
run like we have all night
live like you have nine lives
love like you have the right
run yeah this is your life

maybe someday somehow someway
there is something more that i will be
lately i’ve been swimming deep end
there is so much more that i could be
save me and maybe i’ll follow this through
i’ve been let down
set back off track
this a situation for some time
save me and maybe i’ll follow this through
sleeplessness it feels insane
just let me cover up the pain
it feels as if i’m underneath your feet
emptiness and misery
won’t let it get the best of me
and yet i feel there’s nothing i can say
save me and maybe i’ll follow this through
save me don’t shame me and one day i’ll prove
yes i will
i will prove
save me and maybe i’ll follow this through

Stay WIth Me (Guitar)

each day we write a list
although it’s plain to see
some things we’ll never be
you said you were running now
from fears you’ve been living with
I stopped believing you
the one thing i shouldn’t do
stay with me
and you will see
it’s you i need
stay with me
this silence is killing me
so quiet i cannot breathe
seems like we moved too fast
slow down and make it last
we need to re arrange
step back and endure the change
my head on your beating heart
goodbye the hardest part
stay with me
and you will see
it’s you i need
stay with me
each day we write a list
some things they make get missed
by now we should have known
that we were young an all alone

she will always find her way
as she travels through the storms
in such an unfamiliar place
yet she handles this with grace
could she be the one
in the unsuspecting place
now the time has come
will you let me be the one
as we drift across the seas
i will only hope we need
all the things we’ve come to know
and that you’ll never let this go
could she be the one
in the unsuspecting place
now the time has come
will you let me be the one
you and me
will you let me be the one
you and me
will you let me be the one

I Wish (Guitar)

there was nothing i could say
the words got in the way
there was nothing i could do
i’d given up on you
i could’ve sent a letter
or maybe even better
i should’ve said i loved you
it was written in the cards
i wish i wish i wish i knew
there’s was something you once said
and i never let it go
well who was i to figure out
if i was welcome anymore
i could’ve sent a letter
or maybe even better
i should’ve said i loved you
it was written in the stars
i wish i wish i wish i knew
i wish i wish i wish i knew
there was nothing i could say
the words got in the way
i wish i wish i wish i wish i knew
there was nothing i could do
