Been staying out late
Pockets full of gold
And the sun don’t set around here
This time of year
In Anchorage
Been sleeping in
Blood full of oil
And this buzz is fading fast
These mornings never last
In Anchorage
Haven’t told you I love you in six long months
The way you duck my gaze says it’s not long enough
Well, I’ll just keep on biting my tongue
If these nights don’t kill me, might be done in by love
Been wearing thin
Throat full of dust
Nine AM finds you in my bed
Golden hair and restful breath
In Anchorage
Chorus
Been fading out
Heart full of rust
By midday you’re gone
Radio playing empty songs
In Anchorage
Chorus

Summer

I’ve been working on getting stronger
Getting out what I’ve been keeping in
Focused on my visions of tomorrow
But I’m not sure just where to begin
I’ve been working on getting louder
Speaking out what I’ve been thinking
Painting my dreams in technicolor
But I don’t know where they end
Come this summer, I’m leaving
But I know one thing is true
Don’t want to be leaving, if I’m leaving without you
I don’t want to be leaving, if I’m leaving without you
I’ve been pinching myself on the daily
Asking if this can be real
I’ve been readin those notes that you’ve been leaving me
Trying to forge some nerves of steel
And I’ve been thinking about what you said
When I asked you to come with me
You said, “darlin don’t be foolish
there’s no place I’d rather be
Come this summer, I’m leaving
But I got nothing to lose
‘Cause I’m leaving, but I’m leaving with you
I’m leaving, but I’m leaving with you
Come this summer, I’m leaving
But I got nothing to prove
‘Cause I’m leaving, but I’m leaving with you
I’m leaving, but I’m leaving with you

I’m watching the ripples, they’re guiding me home
The color of the water, reminds me of a poem
Paddles cut through the sun like a knife
Marshall keeps saying these are the days of your life
Camps set up, it’s time for a swim
The closer to nature, the further from sin
But I can’t stop watching the water on her skin
The closer to nature, the closer to sin
Chorus:
Fuzzy navels on the side of the shore
And the kids are screaming out for just one more
Float, before the sun goes down
And love is all around
The fire’s casting shadows, it’s making amber pools
Sticky little mosquito, always acting a fool
The wind’s whispering, says there’s ghosts in the woods
Scared shitless but toether, fear never felt this good
Chorus
I’m walking up to you, you’re just sitting on the shore
I stop and ask if we can talk a little more
You know, it’s been three weeks since your skin has touched my lips
I’m leaning in close, just hoping for a kiss
But you’re walking away
Chorus

Home

Found myself under a Tennessee sky
And it asked me, “What are you doing here?”
Shrugging shoulders was my only reply
So it had some thoughts to share
Chorus:
Home, just head on home
Put the stars to your back, and the sun in your eyes
Home, just head on home
You’ve been gon long enough and you’re in for a surprise
When you get home
Found myself under a Louisiana oak
And it asked me, “What’d you expect to find?”
A new place to call my own
And give me a little piece of mind
Chorus
Found myself beside a Texas spring
And it asked me, just who I thought I was
A lost child in the skin of a man;
All alone and looking for some love
Chorus

I’ll hold the sun for you
Till you return
And I’ll sing this song for you
As the lanterns burn
Chorus:
Sometimes you gotta alk through the dark
Sometimes you gotta work with a broken heart
Sometimes the only way of knowing, is watching it all fall apart
Sometimes you gotta walk through the dark
And I’ve had the faithless few
Drag me down
Yes I’ve been drowning too
Without a soul around
Chorus
Bridge:
Day is breaking, night’s veil is wearing thin
The path is growing bright, hope is kicking in
When the sun goes down, you’ll know where you’ve been
Cut your teeth against the night again
Chorus

Ode
05:18
|

I’ve been swimming in the sea
Sharks and squids down beneath
But I can’t get too deep
Unless you’re diving next to me
I’ve been talking to the trees
Reading fortunes in their leaves
But someday they’ll turn dust
Their roots don’t run as deep as us
I’ve been counting all the stars
I’ve been wishing on them too
But they don’t shine as bright
No, they don’t shine as bright as you
