Tomorrow Starts Tonight

They had to drag me out and even then I shouted it's much too soon
Sure I'd rather stay at home and sit and play some mournful tune

But then I find myself lost inside your eyes
It's almost like I see a midnight sunrise
And I realize
 

Chorus:
When I look at you
I know it'll be all right
Feel it in my bones
Tomorrow starts tonight

As I head your way the crowd begins to sway and you can't be seen
Casting looks about I wrestle with my doubt, were you just a dream?

Then I feel the earth move under my feet
The clock seems to lose its hands as our eyes meet
And just like that I'm complete

Repeat Chorus 2x

​

When This Is Over

Another day has gone and slipped away in the blink of an eye
You're not around you're just across town might as well be 'cross the sky

And it haunts me, the words I said to you
And that you'd ever might think they're true
So here's what I'm gonna do

Chorus:

When this is over
I'll come and I'll find you
So I can remind you
Right there and then
I need you near me
I hope you can hear me
I see it so clearly
That I'll never let go if I ever can hold you again

Should anyone ask I'm quick to the task of claiming I'm fine
But deep down inside far from my pride I know that ain't more than a line

And it taunts me as I lie in my bed
To think of the things left unsaid
But I'll just have to wait instead

Repeat Chorus
 

Bridge:
Just the thought of those first precious moments
When I feel the gentle caress of your skin
Is enough to dare to believe in the day
When the rest of my life will begin

Repeat Chorus

​

The Road to You

I'd resigned myself to a life of second places
Even with a lead, couldn't seem to win no races
So many chances had slipped past
Through fingers iron-cast
 

Chorus:
Til you came and turned my world around
Claimed my heart out of the lost and found
Then the troubles that I been through
Were only steps upon the road to you

Tossed and turned in bed haunted by misspoken old lines
Hard to get much rest when your fortune's a fool's goldmine
The hour that's darkest before dawn
Just went on and on
 

Chorus:
Til you came and brought my life your light
With one smile you broke that endless night
Then the times I knew not what to do
Were all just stops along the road to you
 

Bridge:
Some days I'd sit and wonder how much I could take
I'd wring my hands so hard that they couldn't catch a break
I'd even bow my head though I'm not a godly man
I prayed for a plan

Then you came and it was all so clear
I feel it each and every time you're near
Now I look back and marvel at the view
On the long and winding road to you

Now I look back and marvel at the view
On the long and winding road
The road to you

​

This Is Why

Didn’t understand it
Never could’ve planned it
But when it came on, it came on strong
Tried to deny it
But my heart wouldn’t buy it
Something so right cannot be wrong

Now it’s been a week since I told you everything
And I’m still waiting for that phone to ring
 

Chorus:
This is why I keep my heart locked away
So I’ll never have to say
What I have to say to you
This is why I stick to my fun and games
So I’ll never know the pain
Of knowing you don’t feel the way I do

Should’ve seen the warnings
In those wistful mornings
After another night that seemed to fly
But I was far too blinded
To even think of minding
The many lessons of days gone by

This thing I feel, I know it ain’t just me
But your silence tells me that it’s gonna be

Repeat Chorus
 

Bridge:
I’m sure some people say that it’s plain to see
It just won’t work between you and me
Even still, I can’t give up this fight
At the end of the day, I’d rather be true than right

This is why I opened my heart again
Picked up my pen
To put these thoughts to song
This is why I beg you don’t run and hide
Just look inside
And you’ll find that’s right where I belong
It's right where I belong
Right where I belong

​

Might've Been Me

One glimpse was all that it took and I knew
Those lips, that faraway look it was you

Memories came hard and fast
Wish they had stayed in the past
 

Chorus:
It’s not like I was dreaming of you all this time
Now that you’re here before me, it won’t leave my mind
Seeing you smile at him so happily
Can’t help but think it might’ve been me

There was no cause for concern, so I claimed
The part of me that quietly burned stayed unnamed

But when you walked into my sight
I knew I’d begin to ignite

Repeat Chorus
 

Bridge:
It was so long ago, how could we have known
Just what the future held, brightly as it shone?
Somehow we both agreed, it was best to move on
How come you never know what you have ‘til it’s gone?

Repeat Chorus

​

Fly

I know you ain't a girl that likes to roll the dice
You only cut once after you measure twice
I know I ain't the prince you may have had in mind
But he's a fairy tale that you can leave behind

There's only one thing we should be living for
And what's that if not to soar?
 

Chorus:
Come on let's flyyyy
Flyyyy

I know this kind of love scares you half to death
It's got you running hard, can't barely catch your breath
But if you'd just stop and take a look around
You'll see this bond we got ain't that often found

There's only one thing that we oughta do
And that's hold on to something true

Repeat Chorus
 

Bridge:
You say you're looking for a love
A love you can be sure of
You know that I could be that man
All you gotta do is take my hand

Repeat Chorus

​

Little Moments

I can see it, clear as day
Your smile was like the morning sun
We’d barely had a word to say
But my heart knew you were the one
Even now to my surprise
If I catch you in a certain light
I’m watching you with newfound eyes
Just like I did that night
 

Chorus:
Little moments they leave me shook
A million words spoken in one look
A reminder to remember the good things that you’ve had
Little moments a lesson learned
Even if your life hasn’t always turned
Out the way you might have planned, that don’t mean it’s bad

I can feel it that sudden thrill
When you asked me for a dance
You took my hand and time stood still
I knew I didn’t stand a chance
Though it’s been so many years
All it takes is one caress
To recall how I lost my fears
When I felt my soul confess

Little moments, they say so much
A million words spoken in one touch
A reminder to consider the riches that you hold
Little moments they’re wisdom taught
Though you lack some things you may have sought
Turns out what you have is worth its weight in gold

There are times in all our lives
When we know just how it’s felt
To raise a fist up to the skies
Angry at the hand we’re dealt
On those days stuck in that haze
There’s one thing you can do
Let these memories guide the way
Back to something true

Little moments a kind of spell
They lift us up so we can tell
A vital recollection of a life that’s truly good
Little moments they make it clear
Every step we took has led us here
There ain’t a moment that we’d change, even if we could

​

Exit Wound

They tell me I’m lucky, could’ve been so much worse
The ride in the ambulance was damn near a hearse
I see what they’re saying, your shot went through clean
At least I can walk away even if I lean

Still I can’t seem to shake this feeling
This hole inside me just ain’t healing

Chorus:

And I pray that somehow I will see
The way back to the man I used to be
I truly believe that day is coming soon
Just gotta heal your exit wound

It’s all silver linings I hear myself say
I grow so much stronger with each passing day
They’re bound to believe me, my smile is my proof
We all like tidy lies over dank, messy truth

But once they’re gone I cannot hide it
This aching heart, I can’t abide it

Chorus 2x

​

Wishing Well

When you fell into my arms
With your intoxicating charms
I truly saw it as a gift
A North Star for a life adrift
So even though the signs arose
Of what a rocky route we chose
I kept believing it was fate
Until the truth hit much too late

As I drive on one last road to you
With a life that's nearly torn in two
All the hope that new love sweetly brings
Is shattered and scattered among the boxes of your many things
 

Chorus:
I thought that we would make it, thought we had what it takes
Tried to believe we could weave past our mistakes
Turns out the doubt was so much stronger than the spell
One more coin lost to the wishing well

I keep thinking 'bout those nights
We laughed ourselves to giddy heights
Elevated by our love
And guided by that star above
But like some searing fever dream
Things were hardly what they seemed
If I had only just looked down
I'd have seen the fast-approaching ground

As we part with one last foolish fight
We couldn't help try though that we might
All the truths I thought that you contained
Ended upended in my memory, forever unexplained

Chorus 2x

​

L.A. Lullaby

They say this city ain't for lovers
Tonight, I disagree
The way my body softly shudders
When you're touching me

Swore to keep my heart locked away
Far more difficult to do than say
Tell me how it can be, how can it be that I'm
Lying here and falling, all at the same time

Our final sweet surrender was all but set in stone
The moment when we saw each other, in the crowd but suddenly alone

They say this city ain't for lovers
Tonight, that can't be true
The way your body almost hovers
When I'm touching you

Should've ended hours ago
Still we lie here even so
Tell me how that can be, how can that be the sun
Only moments after our night had just begun

I know that I could wake up feeling foolishly
For now I'll sleep beside you, savoring the thought of what could be

They say this city ain't for lovers
Tonight, I disagree
