Flight EP
Embarrass Me
It was so hard at first, didn’t know how to act. I just tried so hard to make you laugh, but you would let me know, you would make me feel right at home, so real. I was the silent type your typical shy guy, a flower on the wall not very special at all. But there’s some magic in you, you can reach inside and remove all my selfish pride. // Girl you know you can’t embarrass me, I’m not nearly as shy as I used to be. Because of you it’s so easy just to be myself and believe. // For so long I would laugh it off, it was my only type of security, but now I’m better changed, you found the best in me, from my comfort zone you saved me. // Girl you know you can’t embarrass me, I’m not nearly as shy as I used to be. Because of you it’s so easy just to be myself and believe.
Flight
I can’t believe you have done this not after last year, I gave you a fair warning, but you were reluctant to hear. You never listened to me, you act on your own instinct. I’m so glad you did, you fell in love with me. // But our time is winding down, I have to go soon, my plane may leave the ground, but my heart stays with you. // Can there be a delay, someway to make me stay. You can cancel my flight, I’m not leaving you tonight. // You helped me realize what I felt from the start. When you couldn’t see in my eyes you pierced through my heart. I’m sorry I was so stubborn and all you went through. I won’t deny it anymore girl I’m in love with you. // They are calling for my flight, they are seating all rows, please hold me tight don’t let me go. // Can there be a delay, someway to make me stay. You can cancel my flight, I’m not leaving you tonight. You can unpack my bags, taxi, take me home, the city doesn’t need me I’m not leaving you alone.
It’s Love
It’s so delicate, so unbreakable, it’s stronger than me yet fragile. You can’t hold it in your hands, but you can tear it apart. It’s the twinkle in your eye, but it’s much bigger than you heart. It’s the most powerful thing a young boy could say, I’m deathly afraid but I’ll say it anyway. I’ll speak my mind, say whatever I’d like, but if I follow my heart, I know I’ll say what’s right. I don’t think you know the power you hold inside those eyes or in a heart that size. I wondered why, I’d shake so much when you’d get close to me, or when we would touch. // I believe its love. // This can be so easy this can be so tough, its the needle in the haystack, its the diamond in the rough. It’s hard to find but easy to see when it’s in the midst of you and me. I know it sounds cliché’ you’ve been told and told I know I say it everyday but it will never get old. I love you. // I believe its love. // You may think I’m too young that I’ve lost my mind I’m moving too fast not considering time. But I’m old enough to know and learn from my mistakes and if I let her slip away it will be the biggest mistake I’ve ever made. // I believe its love. // I know it is love.
Someone To Love Me
Can I be the one to show you who I am? Please don’t listen to anyone, they’re so easy to believe. I have come from somewhere you may never be from a family who hated me. I am tenderhearted soul and I’m just looking for the heart you stole. // Just know I prayed for you to save me and see right through what they made of me. // I’m not looking for sympathy just someone to love me. I can’t make it own my own, there’s been better days I’ve known. Am I being too forward? Just asking for a kind word? You can send me on my way. I’m sure I’ll see you one day. // Just know I prayed for you to save me and see right through what they made of me.
Juliet Road
If you lived on Juliet Road, Oh the things that I could say. Songs that do not rhyme, words not of this day. What your balcony would hear, even when you’re not there. But until I find my way up to you, I’ll just wait here for you. // If you lived on Juliet Road, I’ll never swear by the moon. If you lived on Juliet Road, I’ll be your Romeo. // If you lived on Juliet Road, the places we could go. She speaks, speak again bright angel, I’m too bashful this you know. Whether Montague or Capulet, it’s amazing what love can do. It’s the person I love, not the name outside, There’s nothing I regret. // If you lived on Juliet Road, I’ll never swear by the moon. If you lived on Juliet Road, I’ll be your Romeo. If you lived on Juliet Road, I’d scale the orchard walls. If you lived on Juliet Road, I’ll be your Romeo.
My Famous Year
The Small Things
Can we agree that there’s so much we miss
Sharing a blanket to share a kiss
I guess that’s why I’ve thought of you today.
A little smile will do just fine, I haven’t seen you in quite some time
Can you remember all of who we were?
And all the small things (2x)
That I miss the most
Pick up the pieces that were left from me
Glue them to what you thought was happily ever after
My fairy tale lady
But don’t think just cause I moved on
I’ve put behind me all that once was wrong
There’s still love there in what we used to be
A little whisper in my ear from you
Sweet words on a bad day maybe one or two
I still remember and never will forget
All the small things (2x)
That I miss the most
I could go forever on the things I love
The smell of your house or the feeling of
My fingers running through your hair
I just want you to know for your sake
There was never one thing that I did take for granted
I cherished everything
All the small things (2x)
That I miss the most
College Ruled Lines
I know you were there you just had to be
There was a letter on my bed addressed to me
Folded so tightly the ink so pressed
Enclosed was a picture of us in Saturday’s best
Packaged for a purpose it was wrapped for a reason
A summary of us in under twenty four seasons
I know it was real I could see I could feel
Your blue eyes, your breath I could steal
I know it was true we sat two by two
Even though last night
I was dreaming of you.
I can just remember opening your note
Not blinking my eyes
But clearing my throat
Bleeding black it stains
A murderous good-bye
Unveiling your story on college-ruled lines
On every wall, is there not a memory
In every box is there not a letter written from me
I know it was real I could see I could feel
Your blue eyes, your breath I could steal
I know it was true we sat two by two
Even though last night
I was dreaming of you
My Famous Year
I remember walking in midnight
Guided by moonlight
Twisting my toes tight into the sand
I was with the people that mean the most to me
And that’s all I thought I’d need
If I keep my feet planted right here
This could very well be my famous year
Why’s my life filled with "whens" and "what if’s?"
But I’ll face today as if it’s my last to live
When I go home I will unpack December
Empty pockets of winter
Bog coats and new years onto the floor
I hope I can stand the cold you’ll bring me
I hope I can make it till the month of May
Oh you can’t make me stay inside
I’ll find my own sunlight, if I have to fly
If I keep my feet planted right here
This could very well be my famous year
Why’s my life filled with "whens" and "what ifs?"
But I’ll face today as if it’s my last to live
You And I
You know you and I we could touch the sky
If you and I could only fly
Tell me oh, please tell me when
You plan to cry and the reasons why
Why am I being someone that I’m not?
I am not one to break a heart
Admit that I, I never lied about the time
I’d be saying good-bye
Admit the we, wrote our own story
To a fantasy that could never be
Some things will always change
That seems they should stay the same
Forget apologies, no ones left to blame
I’m not ready, I’m not ready, I’m not ready for this
I’m not ready, I’m not ready, I’m not ready for you
There’s nothing you could say to persuade
There’s nothing I could do to need you
You know you and I we could touch the sky
If you and I could only fly
Take My Time
Sittin’ by the beside staring out the window
Looking for a treasure I don’t even own
Fumbling through my wallet looking at these pictures
Of high school girls in dresses from all those high school dances
As much as I deny it there is so much of you in me
So much that I want out so much that you should see
I just need some money to get from here to there
Just a little bit of talent to take me somewhere
But I find I’m not going anywhere soon
So I’ll just take my time until I do
These calluses grow bigger and bigger everyday
I sure hope that they better as much as I play
I’m rolling down the windows I can almost smell the beach
The tourists with their cameras so many sites to see
Just a month till I’ll be there when the school bell rings its last
Only thirty days I’ll be there I hope it gets here fast
But I find I’m not going anywhere soon
So I’ll just take my time until I do
Sweet Dancers
Lyrics: Marcus Brand
This is not a song of heartbreak
No chorus filled with words of regret
No more nights of uncertainty to come
The only looking back is where we’ve come from
Ready get set, its time to go
The day has arrived, that we never thought would rise
May your burdens be a vapor, in the sun of your eyes
That shines towards your ever perfect days
Her heart is his fortune, his, her resting place
So sweet dancers, lead the way
Two different rooms we can dance in forever
Hands to hold in the mansions of our futures
In warm sheets, we’ll spend for weeks
Can you hear the angels sing?
May your burdens be a vapor, in the sun of your eyes
That shines towards your ever perfect days
Her heart is his fortune, his, her resting place
So sweet dancers, lead the way
You may have this dance
A couple times it’ll be just fine
You can’t do everything perfect
But time is on your side
May your burdens be a vapor, in the sun of your eyes
That shines towards your ever perfect days
Her heart is his fortune, his, her resting place
So sweet dancers, lead the way
Weary
Don’t you think it’s past your bedtime
Though sleep may be hard to find
Just come and tuck yourself in
Under the sheets of my mind
I’m the dreamer for tonight
I’m the pillow by your side
I’m the moonlight peeking in
And I’m the weary wearing thin
Though nightmares may appear
In the middle of your dreams
Among the noise listen, hear
Those monsters aren’t what they seem
I’m the dreamer for tonight
I’m the pillow by your side
I’m the moonlight peeking in
And I’m the weary wearing thin
Can I dream what you dream?
Can I see what you see?
In a mind so deep
Is there no one but me?
Wake up from this sleep
Before it gets too real
And you promise me
Something you can’t keep
One Day
How do I have the nerve?
To turn and walk away
Innocent and so so sweet
And such a charming way
I’ll do whatever it take to find my way back to that interstate
Just for a chance to look in your eyes and apologize
I won’t settle for just hearing your voice, I must see your face
No kiss so sweet no words so dear could make up for my mistake
But I’ll try to find my way to you one day
It could be too hard to try alone
Won’t you come with me, oh come with me
The closer I get to home, the farther away you are
So many hours alone, alone in this car
I wish I could turn around
And see you somehow
Why do I feel this way?
When you live 3000 miles away
But I’ll try to find my way to you one day
It could be too hard to try alone
Won’t you come with me, oh come with me
Reach (acoustic)
I just thought of something great
Its one of my romantic schemes
But I’m going to make you anticipate
As long as the world doesn’t interfere
And make her loose faith
Why does the moon keep rising, it was just beyond my reach
I know I promised you that moon, as most the poets do
Even the stars keep on fading, into the dark blue
I guess I can’t give you much, just me will have to do
If Somer stays, if she smiles today
May my shadow walk away
For there is nothing to far, these unreachable stars
No song that I could play
If Somer stays, If she smiles today, if she runs away
All I Want
Straight lines grow curvy
Clear view grow blurry
Too many roads to walk on
Tip-toe on stepping stones
All I want is to be me
All I want is your blessing
Understand me and my pathways
Don’t wait for one day
You think you can control me
By the words you whisper
Think again please sweet girl
I don’t live inside your world
All I want is to be me
All I want is your blessing
Understand me and my pathways
Don’t wait for one day
I once hated what I made here
Out of broken hearts
I don’t blame you
I won’t name you
This is no ones fault
All I want is to be me
All I want is your blessing
Understand me and my pathways
Don’t wait for one day
Madison
I’m sorry to keep you waiting
All day in the rain with strangers
Ninety-one corners Ninety-one squares
But believe me when I tell you
I’ll be coming back
Before you know I’ve seen the world
And what this world lacks
But Madison I have to say goodbye
To you while your sleeping
I hope I don’t wake you
You smile as if your dreaming
Madison don’t forget that I’ll be home soon
After sunlight breaks the morning
Before this afternoon
These yellow stones are so fascinating
More pearls than you could buy
More than just the rain
Is taking you inside
I wish it could be me
But I’m afraid I lied
But Madison I have to say goodbye
To you while your sleeping
I hope I don’t wake you
You smile as if your dreaming
Madison don’t forget that I’ll be home soon
After sunlight breaks the morning
Before this afternoon
I could be so wrong but I cant stay long
So I’ll say what I have to say
And with a note on your door
I shall speak no more
I’m leaving you alone
