Lyrics

We have been getting a lot of requests lately for the lyrics to the record so I thought I would post them here. Thanks for asking and enjoy.

Caulfield

Another year has come and gone
And I damn sure still feel alone
Oh my words come out all wrong
No chance you will take me home

All my friends I’ve misplaced
And I can’t find myself today
Fall asleep on the wrong train
After drinking all my thoughts away

Tomorrow will be the same
As today

Close the door and put up sheets
Block the light it offers no relief
Go to bed, but I can’t sleep
God some monster’s chasing me

Tomorrow will be the same
As today
Tomorrow will be the same
As today

Hate myself for growing old
For never doing as I’m told
Fall outside the night’s so cold
Gotta find some drinks to warm my soul

Tomorrow will be the same
As today
Tomorrow is the same
As today


With you

I shouldn’t fall in love with you
Cause love is just a fools game
The warm embrace
I long for so much
Will be gone in the morning
Just the same

We have waited our whole lives
For a song to ease our troubled minds
For words to say
What’s in our hearts
For a love that won’t fall apart

So tell me where did I go wrong
And we go right
Why the day light gets to you

Cause even if I wasted all
These precious lines
I’d still fall in love with you

I shouldn’t let you know
But I can’t keep it all inside
Don’t use my words
To bury my soul
In a field where flowers won’t grow

So tell me where did I go wrong
And we go right
Why the day light gets to you

Cause even if I wasted all
These precious lines
I’d still fall in love with you


Abilene

Winter here has brought me down
Oh my love don’t make a sound
But she cries in the dark
When the world fall apart
Her thoughts are flowing down like paper rain

I’m a million miles from where you sleep tonight
If I hide my face until the morning light
Would you still be there
Deny your depair
Thought are flowing down like paper rain


Abilene
Why’d you do this thing to me
Won’t you let my baby come home

It’s been 40 nights
and I’m still locked inside this place
won’t you let my baby come home

oh Abilene

Oh my love don’t make a sound
Dry your eyes come back around
I know that you’re scared
From the secrets you’ve shared
But don’t let the darkness there
Break you down

Abilene
Why’d you do this thing to me
Won’t you let my baby come home

It’s been 40 nights
and I’m still locked inside this place
won’t you let my baby come home

oh Abilene

When summer comes I’ll feel just the same
You’ll pack your bags and quietly retreat again
And I’ll be own my own
Still trying to make this home
Think what you want Ill be running til the autumn comes

Abilene
Why’d you do this thing to me
Won’t you let my baby come home

It’s been 40 nights
and I’m still locked inside this place
won’t you let my baby come home

oh Abilene



Katharine Song

Somewhere in the distance
I thought I heard her name
But nothing breathes and nothing moves
Since you went away

And all the bars and subway cars
They still reflect your face
City lights like diamonds
They keep dancing in their place

So tell me please
Tell me please
Where you sleep
Tonight

Fly from me lovely
To your desert plain
A blue-eyed girl from texas
Starts to breathe again

And I’m up here on 9th street
Blowing with the wind
Walking around in circles
Til someplace pulls me in

All my thoughts are turning
And keeping me awake
Stare at my phone
But you wont call today

Drink myself happy
Til some girl makes me blue
The way she holds her cigarette
Reminds me of you






Takes a Lot of Love


I’m gone
And you’ve moved on
Still a lot of love left between us
Was never shown

I’m not far away
Ain’t never coming back
Still see you from where I’m standing
From the other side of the track

Takes a lot of love
To leave you alone

Faded pictures
On our bedroom walls
Show I lived we used to live
Before I was called

Now you share with another
Your hopes and your dreams
Guess I’m just a memory
Of a life you used to lead

Takes a lot of love
To leave you alone

I’m gone
And you’ve moved on
Just barely out the door
Now you’re lying in someones arms

I’d be there
But the Lord he called me home
Guess I’m finally learning
What I should have known

Takes a lot of love
To leave you alone



Volatile

Don’t
burn yourself out now
Cause me to live without
I so scared you will

Sleep
Lay your body down
You have worn yourself out now
I’m there
Won’t make a sound

It’s enough to find
It’s enough to find
It’s enough to find
You there
Don’t let it be love

Wake
Wake me when you go
Just Just so I will know
You are still alive

It’s enough to find
It’s enough to find
It’s enough to find
You there
Don’t let it be love

It’s enough to find
Only love could find
you there
Don't let it be love


Too Young

Why’d you come to me
If you’d only leave
Oh my sweet
Blue-eyed dream

Words won’t say
All we mean
They cower in the way
Come in between

Too young to fall in love
Too young to fall in love
Too young to fall in love
With you

Walk with me
Through these street
Oh your face
In the winter breeze

Too young to fall in love
Too young to fall in love
Too young to fall in love
With you

Too young to fall in love
Too young to fall in love
Too young to fall in love
With you



Hard Way Home

Nestled ‘tween the pines
In the foothills of Caroline
There’s a place I once called home

Small dirt road still paves the drive
I used to play there when I was five
I can’t remember being so young

But I know the way home
Down the only road that I have ever
Really loved

And when I far from there
She calls on me just like a friend
Won’t leave me all alone
Til I found my way

Way out here in the country
Nobody even knows me
Everything stays the same

Listen close won’t hear a sound
Nothing moves for miles around
But I still hear it callin’ my name

But I know the way home
Down the only road that I have ever
Really loved

And when I far from there
She calls on me just like a friend
Won’t leave me

Even though my life has changed
I’ve grown up and moved away
There’s a voice that always calls me
Home




Say

You Say It’s over
If I’ll say
That we were just pretend
If that’s the way it must end

Then I’ll go
But you’ll stay
Alone now
We were so in love
Even if the world won’t end

It’s just another memory
Creeping in the back of my mind
And killing me
This time

You’ll say That the world is wrong
And I’ll say
It’ll never fall apart
Even if you break my heart

Nobody’s crying
This time there’s just no use
This is how it had to end

It’s just another memory
Creeping in the back of my mind
Spinning around for days
Dreaming of love it won’t find
I loved you
But love is gone
Away




Nights Like These Here

Look into your eyes
I fill you full of lies
I know every word
You long to hear

Everybody knows
How it’s gonna go
Crawling from your sheets
By the morning light

But don’t fall in love
It’s not enough

But on nights like these here
I can’t resist
I fall into your arms once again

Nights like these here
I’m broken and I’m jaded
I fall into your arms once again
On nights like these here

This won’t be the first
Doubt if it’s the last
Time that you and I’ll
Stand face to face like this

Four of five drinks in
That’s when it all begins
Don’t wanna wake up
In the morning alone

But don’t fall in love
It’s not enough

But on nights like these here
I can’t resist
I fall into your arms once again

Nights like these here
I’m broken and I’m jaded
I fall into your arms once again
On nights like these here



Matter of Time

Sleep tonight
Underneath the stars
Let the world
Turn around you

Cause your soul it aches
But your body still takes
All the pain
That you’ve put it through

Sleep in the hallway
Lie on your back
I won’t disturb you
Til the morning is through
Now it’s only
A matter of time

When the day is done
And you need to go home
Find a place
Where you can be sure

In the life you lead
It is what you need
So find a place
And drift off to dream

Sleep in the hallway
Lie on your back
I won’t disturb you
Til the morning is through
Now it’s only
A matter of time
