Letter To An Old Friend

I’m doing well, yes, I really am
There ain’t no cause for concern
I lived through the worst on a
Second chance on a second chance
Lord, it sure ain’t the first
Crossing the river
But the bridge was on fire
And I’m the one who set it to burn
What comes around goes around
A lesson I’m still trying to learn
I’m always looking for a safer place to land
Finally learned that solid ground’s a better place to stand
I’m lonely and I’m tired and my license has expired again
I want for nothing, but this wasn’t what I planned
Back in the day when we got along
It was plain that we both wanted more
Like the night in Memphis, only Graceland to protect us
Broke the only oath we ever swore
It’s a long drive when you’ve got somewhere to go
Where you’ve got someone you’re trying to be
But I’m reading all the signage and I’m getting good mileage
You know I’ll make it eventually.
I’m always looking for a safer place to land
Finally learned that solid ground’s a better place to stand
I’m lonely and I’m tired and my license has expired again
I want for nothing, but this wasn’t what I planned
I want for nothing, but this wasn’t what I planned

You gotta let it go when there’s nothing left to hold
Love will turn to ice if it’s left out in the cold
No surprises in the story, no mysteries to unfold
It’s like the ashes of a fire left to burn out on its own
Just a spark hot enough it should have grown
But there’s nothing there to reap if there’s nothing left to sow
This is me moving on, this is me watching in the rearview
It’s not a place where I belong, and there’s a future I can drive to
I’ve heard all along every love is just the same
And to play about with romance like it’s just a little game
But it’s hard to see the picture when you’re fucking with the frame
It’s seems complicated when our hearts get involve
But love is not a puzzle or a problem that we solve
It’s the honest kind of scar that nothing can dissolve
This is me moving on, this is me watching in the rearview
It’s not a place where I belong, and there’s a future I can drive to

I Don't See The Upside
02:05
|

Darling, it’s a hard line
To be all alone
Looking out to find
Someplace to call your own
What you’re seeing from the outside
It looks easy, I bet
But you ain’t had to live with
What you’ll have to live with, yet
I don’t see the upside
Of trying to go it all alone
I don’t see the upside
Living in a world this cold
Darling, it’s a fact, now
And not just something I read
You need a hearth and home
And someone to share your bed
And what you’re seeing with a closed mind
It’s time to make a new start
A path to light the dark
Even in your heart of hearts
I don’t see the upside
Of trying to go it all alone
I don’t see the upside
Living in a world this cold

You’re gonna look around
And find a faster way to make a change
You’re gonna focus now
Until the feeling doesn’t seem so strange
You’re uptight and broke down
What you even doing here?
You hold fast to the old sound
Even when you’re shifting gears
It’s getting warm in a cold town
And nothing’s gonna be the same
You’re gonna make your move
And take advantage of what could have been
You’re gonna speak your truth
Until it burns you like a mortal sin
You’re uptight and broke down
What you even doing here?
You hold fast to the old sound
Even when you’re shifting gears
It’s getting warm in a cold town
And nothing’s gonna be the same
When all the dust has settled
You’re a new man in an old skin
You opened up your baby blues
To see the world as it is
As much breathing out as breathing in
You’re uptight and broke down
What you even doing here?
You hold fast to the old sound
Even when you’re shifting gears
It’s getting warm in a cold town
And nothing’s gonna be the same

Bring Me Back My Darling

Bring me back
Oh, bring me back my darling
She’s gone away
She’s gone away I fear for good
She left me on my lonesome
don’t know what to do
How to keep love from leaving
I don’t have a clue
Bring me back
Oh, bring me back my darling
She’s the one
She’s the one I’ve been dreaming of
It’s been so long since I seen her
will I ever learn
It’s my fault that she’s left me
All alone to burn
Bring me back
Oh, bring me back my darling
She’s gone away
She’s gone away I fear for good
Made mistakes and didn’t treat her
like I knew I should
My cruel words didn’t suit her
like they ever could
