Wired To The Moon
I want to put up my feet, quiet my voice
Take some time, it’s time I made that choice
I’m happy to be, maybe better alone
I’ll wait and see, if I make it home
I’m wired to the moon, singing my favorite tune
I’m in the moment so crack me open
Wired to the moon, singing my favorite tune
In the moment so crack me open
Living here by the sea, thoughts can soar
Lungs can breathe, I’m feeling more
I’m coming alive in an enchanted place
Sensing the vibe, catching my wave
Chorus
One heart beating, I’m still breathing
Wired to the moon, Wired to the …
Chorus
Crack me open
Wired to the moon

I Didn’t Set Out To Love You
I didn’t set out to love you
I didn’t set out to love you
I didn’t set out to love you
We crossed the line and broke the rules
Stayed up late and made love like fools all night, all night
Determined not to let you in
But your face made mine light up again
Alright, alright
(Chorus)
Set aside our passion’s quest
Lay here in my arms and rest tonight, all night
Your tired body, your weary mind
Won't you set your troubles here with mine tonight, alright
(Chorus)
The words we find so hard to say
A shame to push our love away
Don’t cast me off to swim again
Into a tide that’s always building
Into a tide that’s always building
I didn't set out to love you, but I love you now
I didn’t set out to love you, but I love you now
I didn’t know I could feel it ‘til you showed me how
I didn’t set out to love you
I didn’t set out to love you, but I love you now
I love you now
We crossed the line and broke the rules
We stayed up late and made love like fools all night, all night
Determined not to let you in, but your face made mine light up again
Alright, alright
I didn’t set out to love you
I didn’t set out to love you, but I love you now
I love you now
I love you now

She's No Ordinary Girl

No Ordinary Girl
She she's no ordinary girl
She she's no ordinary girl
She she's no ordinary girl
She she's no ordinary girl
She she's no ordinary
She walks in to the corner bar
Slips her money in the jukebox and plays Big Star
And we dance as the music starts
She knows what she wants
She's already got my heart
(Chorus)
Maker’s Mark or top shelf gin
Play your cards right, she might let you win
With a smile that's so explosive
(Chorus)
I met the captain's daughter before the ship went down
She was dancing on the water while I was sinking down
She took my by the hand and drew me to her side
I’ve been thinking less these days
(Chorus)
I wanna learn how to love
I wanna learn how to heal
I wanna learn not to run when it feels so real
I wanna learn how to laugh
I wanna learn how to steal
I wanna learn not to run when it feels so real

I Had To Move On

I Had To Move On
I used to smoke cigarettes
And that’s a time that I won’t forget
Hanging by my fingertips
I used to hide from myself
Convinced of my uselessness
I’d listen to that little voice in my head
I had to move on, life’s too short
I had to move along, run a new course
I had to move along, give myself a chance to be a little more
I had to move on
I used to go toe to toe
Had an issue with my self control
I figured that I was the center of it all
(Chorus)
I used to smoke cigarettes
And that’s a time that I won’t forget
Hanging by my fingertips
And that’s a time that I won’t forget
I used to hide from myself
Convinced of my uselessness
I’d listen to that little voice, that little voice, in my head
I had to move on, life’s too short
I had to move along, run a new course
I had to move along, give myself a chance, to be a little more
I had to move on (Ooooo)
I had to move on (Ooooo)
I had to move on (Ooooo)
I had to move on (Ooooo)
I had to move on, life’s too short
I had to move along, run a new course
I had to move along, give myself a chance, to be a little more
I had to move on

Watching the Candles Burn
Why am I spending all my one night stands in Honky Tonks with cover bands?
If the world is ending, I’m making plans to get on with my life
Wash your face, pull back your hair
Pack your bags, we’re out of here
Let's leave behind the want and fear, and get on with our lives
I’m…
Watching the candles burn
As the records turn
And the sound reaches my brain
Remember when the streets were safe?
You could hitch a ride, go catch a wave
Back when people made time to play and got on with their lives
But something happened when the kids went missing
The talking heads the politicians
Full of lies and contradictions
I’m…
Watching the candles burn
As the records turn
And the sound reaches my brain
Ooooo, Ooooo
There’s letting go I’m letting go of here
To say the least, it's been a losing year
Somedays I want to disappear and get on with my life
So I, I lock my place without a care
Pack my bags and I’m out of here
Leave behind the want and fear, and get on with my life
I’ve paid my dues, I’m out of gas
And there’s no point in looking back
Searching for the things I lack
I gotta get on with my life
I gotta get on with my life
I gotta get on with my life
Gotta get on with my, get on with my, get on with my life
Watching the candles burn
As the records turn
And the sound reaches my brain

Without You

Without You
I miss your voice
I miss your face
The times we spent together can never be replaced
I’m good here on my own
I make a list to start each day
And I tell myself that’s how I keep the demons at bay
At night I lie in bed and think of what I’d say to you
The future will be different without you
I signed the papers
Got a place up in The Heights
By day I’m stuffing boxes
I’ll be drinking wine tonight
The shirts I’ll wear to parties
The suits I’ll give away
They’re useless to me now, I can hear you say
At night I lie in bed and think of what I’d say to you
The future will be different without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
The future was an open book we were gonna write together
Now I’m packing up all my things
Thinking ‘bout sunny weather
How things can only get better without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you (Thinkin’ ‘bout sunny weather)
Without you (Things can only get better)
Without you (Thinkin’ ‘bout sunny weather)
Without you (Things can only get better)

You Can't Pretend

You Can’t Pretend
It would be easier to quit than to make things right
By trying to talk some sense into you tonight
My eyes are tired, my voice is sore
And you don’t need to throw me out
I can find the door
We all hurt now and again
And in the end, you can’t pretend
We all hurt now and again
You can’t pretend
The day you came into my life, I was half past dead
But you were determined to shed some light instead
And I’d return the favor, but you won’t look me in the eye
I can see right through your thin disguise
And we all hurt now and again (We all hurt)
And in the end, you can’t pretend (We all hurt)
We all hurt now and again (We all hurt)
You can’t pretend
Someone called you out of your shell, and you hid
Love’s the sort of game you play
Sometimes you’re sorry that you did
And we all hurt now and again (We all hurt)
And in the end, you can’t pretend (We all hurt)
We all hurt now and again (We all hurt)
And in the end, you can’t pretend

Better Times
How do you make something out of nothing
When all you’ve got to work with is time
People, we’re all pushing and shoving
Everybody wants better times
Sing to the sun
Howl with the moon
Love who you love
Do it soon, do it soon
(Chorus)
We’ve got to be strong
Speak what is true
Go sing your song
Do whatcha do, do whatcha do
(Chorus)
Open your arms
Lift up your heart
Quiet your mind
It’s a start, it’s a start
(Chorus)
Better times
Everybody wants better times
Better times
Everybody wants better times

Maybe I'm Better Off

Maybe I’m Better Off
I get anxious
Sometimes I can't sleep at night
I think about what's gone wrong
And how I can make it alright
I worry
What does the future have in store?
Do I have what it takes?
Can I take it anymore?
Maybe I’m not the person I thought I was gonna be
Maybe I’m better off
Maybe I’m better off
Made choices everyone makes
I’ve fallen, had my share of lucky breaks
Maybe I’m not the person I thought I was gonna be
Maybe I’m better off
Maybe I’m better off
Maybe I’m better off
Maybe I’m anxious
Locking it up inside
Afraid of what's coming
Afraid of what's coming
I can’t carry that weight
I can’t carry that weight (Better off…)
I can’t carry that weight (Better off…)

Old Friend
It takes a long time to make an old friend
It takes a long time to make an old friend
It takes a long time to make an old friend, old friend
Do you remember when you came out west
To clear your mind and give it a rest
We sat and talked in the shadow of a mountain so high
You and I, old friend
It takes a long time to make an old friend
It takes a long time to make an old friend
It takes a long time to make an old friend, old friend
I remember when I saw you standing there
I never could have dreamed the life that we share
I do believe that I can recall, one day we said to have it all would take a long time, long time
Let’s never forget the days we got by
I’m learning to let the small things slide
Standing together to face the rain and the wind
I’d do it all again, I’d do it all again
It takes a long time to make an old friend
It takes a long time to make an old friend
It takes a long time to make an old friend, old friend
So here’s to you and here’s to me and all that will come after
Trails we broke, the words we spoke, the tears, the love, the laughter
Old friend, old friend, old friend, old friend
It takes a long time to make an old friend
It takes a long time to make an old friend
It takes a long time to make an old friend
Old friend, old friend
Ooooo, old friend, Ooooo
