Ghost Story 04:58
My pen to paper tells me that I’m still alive I hear you whisper now: “Get up. Go for a drive.” “To clear your head. It’s me who’s dead. “Come back when we can jibe. “I’ll be right here next to your ear. “Come back when you can get my story right.” I sit here at my table with wine and candle-light The words – they flow much better – in shades of the night You say, “Don’t you worry, you know this story “I’ll see you through the end… “Just listen close to your ‘made up’ ghost “I’ll be your friend if you can get my story right.” Now when I’m all alone, I feel him at my side He’s got so much to say, sometimes he makes me cry The more I hear, the less I know but, I’m learnin’ piece by piece Time will tell if this applies to me, we’ll just have to see If I can get his story right We make this life our own, nobody else to blame And if it feels like hell, well, did we fan the flames? So while I’m here, I’ll face the fears that keep me up at night Bartender keep fillin’ my glass up ‘Cause if I screw this up then who will get my story right? Who will get my story right?

Is there love on your mind tonight? Can you see it in the headlights? Does it move slowly ‘round from the back seat? To touch your hair and brush your neck, oh tell me— Does it feel like me? Can you hold love’s hand without retreat? Riding solo, seeking solace in love’s defeat And when you open up your door, will love warm you like before? When you would drive home through the dark… To get to me I think of you way out there—are you thinking of me? I think of those I’ve hated because they wouldn’t love me Up in this road of bitterness, it’s easy to get caught Obsessing ‘cause they didn’t like the truth of what I was bringing But you heard me singing Can you hold love’s hand without retreat? Riding solo, seeking solace in love’s defeat And when you open up your door, will love warm you like before? When you would drive home through the dark… When you would drive home through the dark… To get to me Do I need to leave this place? What am I missing? If I close the miles would you open up your kissing? Besides the dreams, besides your hand to hold without retreat Would you still drive home through the dark… Would you still drive home through the dark… ‘Cause I would drive home through the dark… To get to you I’m driving through the dark

The Truth Is 04:56
Heaven knows a broken heart will age you Wasting time thinkin’ ‘bout who betrayed you In time you’ll come to know that shit don’t matter You’ll understand it’s nothin’ more than chatter in your head Draggin’ bodies too long dead – weighing you down So, get out of your way, if you’ve got nothin’ left to say Keep movin’ on now If your truth is that you’re so messed up you’re nothin’ more than pieces And you don’t know just where to go so you go where the release is I’m tellin’ you, my wayward friend, it’s nothin’ more than sorrow The truth is that this, too, shall pass – keep pushing for tomorrow When I was young, I feared far too much And I shrank back from that freeing, healing touch From those who tried to show me life beyond me But I was stuck in time just like a zombie – in my head Draggin’ bodies too long dead – weighing me down But then I got out of my way, I said all I had to say I’m moving’ on now Yes, I got out of my way, I said all I had to say, this is my song now If your truth is that you’re so messed up you’re nothin’ more than pieces And you don’t know just where to go so you go where the release is I’m tellin’ you, my wayward friend, it’s nothin’ more than sorrow The truth is that this, too, shall pass – keep pushing for tomorrow Keep lookin’ past what holds you back You’re not your past, so don’t look back Keep lookin’ past what holds you back You’re not your past, so don’t look back

It only seemed like an ordinary night But don’t they all when you’ve got nothing special in your sight? And all at once the Universe began to sway And I lost my balance And everything changed The night you touched my hand And you didn’t let go You touched my hand And now I know I had it thought out that I was on my own The past had taught me it was better that way—that’s what I was shown But you didn’t know that, so you didn’t care You just walked right in through the open door On the clear winter air The night you touched my hand And you didn’t let go You touched my hand And it was then I’d know I know you… Better than I know myself most days You knew me… When you saw behind my hidden ways The night you touched my hand And I didn’t let go The night you touched my hand And now we know You see only me I see only you We were meant to be How was I possible before you? Time stands still for me when I’m with you Say you’ll still be mine should the moon Fall from the velvet sky to touch your face No other star above can eclipse your grace Cause everything changed… The night you touched my hand And I didn’t let go The night you touched my hand And now I know

Tonight 03:45
In a room with all your friends It only feels like you and me I try not to stare too long But, I’m your fool you see You think it, I feel it – don’t care what I look like I’m so dizzy and I could fall hard Because I’m so distracted by your light Tonight Forget the rain, forget the cold My heart is warm inside You smile at me as we take the streets Feels like we’re taking flight I’m not too tired to be inspired Not thinkin’ ‘bout the clock You’re my rock, won’t put up a fight because I’m so powerless in your light Tonight The morning breaks from up above So we’ll just run and hide From the sun accusing us of too much love But, we know he’s just jealous of Our light tonight Another week falls at our feet So we’ll face it with a sigh It won’t be long ‘til I’m with you And we’ll be getting high On a love that burns so bright It brings me to my knees The world can try to crowd me out but, You’re the one I’m gonna see Tonight
