Lost & found album LYRICS

MATTER OF TIME

Matter of time / I'm sitting here waiting / For answers I don't think / You will ever find / Maybe I'll learn / That it's far past over / Love left cold without you / Nothing left to burn / Oceans away my heart is scattered / I still don't see why you had to leave / Talking life's work and things that matter / What happened to me in all those dreams / Keys by the door, you abandoned there / Don't know why I still wait by the phone / Miles away, just memories to hold / I'm a sunny day shadow on my own

FACES IN THE CROWD

Looking out on the road / Waiting now to end this lonely roam / Where are you / A bar tonight is my home / Find myself behind this microphone / I see you / Take me in all the way to the back / We sing it one at a time / Are those stars in your eyes / Or bright of the lights / You keep me coming around / Are you here for that drink / Or to watch me laying out my soul to see / I need you / If I capture something you need / Taking me all my life with every key / To find you / Take me in all the way to the back / We sing it one at a time / Are those stars in your eyes / Or fear of surprise / You need me / Faces in the crowd / Faces in the crowd / Faces in the crowd / Get lost with me now / Lost with me now / Another day I'm alone / Looking for the only sign so I might know / You hear me / With you now 

HOPE IS SHATTERED

Think of all the moments buried in those hands / Silence says its all over again / In this cold December I have lost a friend / I feel the grip of life's hold / Keep what matters / When hope is shattered / Don't you leave dreams covered with the sand / Hopeless wonders / Drive you under / Hold your own life in the palm of your hand / Hear but i don't listen, too much pain to bear / No sound of your voice ever again / But I will keep on moving no time to hold despair / Trusting fate to let us go

SWEETEST RHYME

Hey baby / Your eyes are starry I can't stop / Thinking about what's on your mind / It's crazy / We move so fast and I realize / Never took myself for that kind / What did I do to deserve your love / Did we catch magic in a bottle / Oh I get lost in you / In my sweetest rhyme / You are my sweetest rhyme, my sweetest rhyme / Get ready / Throw your clothes in the back and ride / Wind whipping under city lights / We're steady / What it feels to drive and find out / How swiftly on this road we'll wind / Speak softly / Your words breezing on through my mind / Sweet making me feel oh so fine / Say crazy / But these feelings are made to last / Just something 'bout the way we ride

FINGERS CROSSED (LOST & FOUND)

I know its not easy / There's so much else to say / To step outside, say goodbyes / That chance you just won't waste / Only a minute left for leaving / Heavy, your bags are packed / This kiss becomes a memory / For whenever you look back / When you're gone / If you think you're losing ground / Fingers crossed / Your a long, long way from home / City skies, lights are dancing / Out your window pane / Another day as it gets easy / Gotta run to catch your train / Settled now with the feeling / Home is where your bags unpacked / And you smile yourself believing / A promise kept to find your path / Moving on / Now I know you're lost and found

CRUISE IN THE DARK

Screen door feels a mile away / As you close it firm nothing left to say / A heart in hand is worth more than a last smile / When letting go smothers denial / Music on my car in gear / Take one last glance, are you there? / Hang this night out to dry / As my lights drift on this road, I'll try / Soothing wind cools the fire / As memories hit their mark / Driving on, somewhere out there / Lose yourself in those lights that shine so stark / When you're cruising in the dark / A memory can burn a hole in your heart / If you leave it there, tear you apart / Oh how many times you said you'd change / Pieces of puzzles, lives rearranged

DON'T LEAVE HEAVEN ALONE

We'd pass on walks, to school on these streets / Barely knew you, still your warmth drew me in / Reminiscing back then, reality sets in / A gentle souls journey ends, before it begins / Don't you leave heaven alone / Free to fly higher than you fell / Lift our hearts, when hope is gone / Your love shines bright, forever in this song / Scribbling in class, no care, for a thing / We locked eyes, your sunset smile, drew me in / When did you lose, your way, and what you mean? / Left us with scars of wonder, while we grieve

NO REASONS WHY

Every time that you catch my eye / A second turns to ten, and I / Feel that beat of your heart, so fast, I fall / That way you hold your breath, so deep / Waiting on every word, so weak / Tripping on myself, losing, it all / You keep me around like / I'm the one that you need tonight / One step too late / I don't know if we're meant to break / One step too late / I turn and you're gone, no reasons why / Feel your hand on my skin, so real / Just a moment to let me feel / I want more but you say, you need, your time / Why can't you fit inside my shoes / Just your game that I'm meant to lose / Such a shame that you choose to waste our time

LET IT BE TONIGHT

As I awaken now / Into the stillness of this night / All of my dreams flash away / Step out and stare at the sky / When clarity hits its easy / Know what you want to do and why / But in the hustle of the day / Find myself lost in the grind / Don't wait anymore / Just pray to the satellites / And make forever mine / The dream, let it be tonight / How many days have I lost / Working someone else’s life / Checking boxes as I'm told / Sayin tomorrow will be mine / How little could they know / A father, a friend, a passing mind / This empty street an open road / A choice to live before we die / No more hiding behind this old town / I know, I'll leave it, won't regret it / I'll get more than if I stayed / Now just let it / Now just let it be tonight / Now just let it / Now just let it be my dream tonight

STAREDOWN

Passing signs I know well / Spot that bar, need a drink / Settle in my old seat / Notice you cant stop but think
As years past some things gone / Passing through surprised we'd meet / Like a deer with your girls / Bright eyed looking so sweet / Here we are / Passing through / Lost in this crowd / Another moment that leaves us two / Left with just this staredown  / Just a glance, let you be / Keep our fond little memories / We moved on like you said
Saw the sights and felt so free / Keep moving till I find / Something more than I left behind / Just cause we didn't last / Doesn't mean it wasn't fine / Staredown with me / Waiting, for something to see / At least know we believe / It's all we wanted

NOTHING GONNA MAKE ME CRY

As I sit here and write this / Another broken, backwards song / I still deal with mistrust inside / Tired I still play along / I say goodbye to this pain / That grips and tears from inside / Despair only eats what I feed it / That part of me dead inside / Nothing gonna make me cry / Restrained by life's trials / I always seemed to look away / But stare in the face of denial / Broken thoughts drift away
