Honey give me the road, it’s gonna set us free From the desert valley to the highest mountain peak Oh we’ll make our escape in the dead of the night Shifting shapes and shadows will be our guiding light We’ll catch the tail of the moonlight Hold me close or hold me far away Tell me why you’re wandering and how you found your way Honey give me your heart, I’m gonna set it free And break those cold chains that make your spirit bleed It’s been a long road and it ain’t over yet Trials and tribulations haven’t stopped us yet Lay your cards and I’ll lay mine We’ll catch the tail of the moonlight Hold me close or hold me far away Tell me how your wandering has brought you to this Hold me close or hold me far away Tell me why you’re wandering and how you found your way Lay your cards and I’ll lay mine Leave ‘em on the table and follow the blind Lay your cards and I’ll lay mine We’ll ride the tail of the moonlight
2.
Five thousand miles and gone Tears hanging in your eyes Something’s changed That look on your face tell me why I don’t wanna believe that it was all a lie I need your love to hold onto I need you to understand I’m losing sleep and I can’t see what’s in your head You’re letting go again Under midnight sun I broke open You put your hand in mine You keep searching for something you’ll never find I don’t want to wait around while you make up your mind Are you pulling back, a silent last goodbye You said give me something to hold on to Give me something to hold on to
3.
Silhouette in my rearview watch it fading slow and true Searching for northwestern sky thirty days and longer nights Your eyes are turning red sleepless nights inside your head Time don't stop for breaking hearts or when we're a thousand miles apart We'll just keep on walking through the thunder and the rain Lonely roads stretch between us but it hasn't changed a thing I still want you next to me My body's working overtime revive my heart and still my mind Clinging to a photograph in an empty room, it brings you back I'd touch those calloused hands you're traveling through distant lands Some winds blow straight and some winds turn Light my candle and let it burn We roam together You unwind the strain I've felt I know you better Some days better than myself
4.
Early morning rooster crows A call from the shadows Dawn is peeking cross the hills Begin to spill on the window I will greet the day with ever open arms ‘Cuz there will come a time when sorrow sings her song An echo on the wind above us all Straining muscles till they tire Each day, till we expire Sow seeds in the ground And hope for a harvest Weary heads will lay Sigh and bid the day goodbye
5.
You called my name into the darkness Baby I was afraid to step into it It was so cold when I was alone Extended your hand, we’re searching for the promised land Predictions made, reports on the T.V. We were young, with pockets empty They sold us hope for a future to hold I opened my hands, still searching for the promised land All the stories found hidden in the ground Talking fast and loud you shut them out But I took them down I took them down You carried my flame into the darkness Baby I took your hand and stepped into it Still it grows, flames out of control We warm our hands, still searching for the promised land
6.
In the Water 04:07
It can be hard to find an honest tongue Sink the weight of pride Let on where you've gone wrong Way down here the stars inspire To see clearly we're naked in the water We take our time rebuilding walls To withstand the sky when it decides to fall Way down here the stars inspire To see clearly we're naked in the water Hold it to the flame We burn our names When the smoke floats west We're free from the weight
7.
Washed in the sound waves I wanna touch your face and remember When our steps were simple Now they twist and turn out of control Oh it turns out of control Working to buy We're holding on to everything in excess Heavy and empty A cup that overflows with wanting Overflows and still we're wanting Climb through the empire that you fashioned With your own two hands Could it be better than the last one? Or is it already gone? You don't know
8.
In My Head 04:41
There’s a world in my head and I’m trying to forget I’m a prisoner in this town I climb these walls and I don’t look down I climb these walls and I burn them down I’ve been holding on too long When my strengths already gone I’d try to fake it but I don’t know how I’d try to fake it but I don’t know how There’s a world in my head and I’m trying to make sense of it I’m a stranger in this house I climb these walls and I don’t look down I climb these walls and I burn them down All of my love spilling over I am the night undiscovered I’ve been holding on too long I’ve been holding on too long I’d try to fake it but I don’t know how I’d try to fake it but I don’t know how
9.
I’ve got one foot in the water and one foot on dry land The ship’s already sailing and I’ve got no place to stand Have I missed my chance again So we’ll travel down this highway leaving lovers far behind ‘Cuz nothing’s ever changing until you step across the line Oh I guess it’s about time One day the answer is gonna come Chapters behind us can’t be undone Like yesterday, it slips away We walk underneath the streetlights in this city we call home Some days I can’t escape it, but I miss it when I’m gone Oh I miss you when I’m gone
10.
Heavy Heart 03:45
Picked up the phone Heard the news and your face grew cold Said I gotta go, back home to Ohio Ten hours on the road Thoughts spin out of control We never know when our train is coming To take us home What can you do With a heavy heart It'll break you down Remind you who you are In my younger days My father tried to explain Why I'd never kissed the face Of his own father He said I was just a boy When my daddy tucked me in one night With next morning's light He never opened up his eyes again All this tragedy Ain't no stranger to you and me May it leave us here in peace
