Side by side At the bar outside And Mill Ave’s a ride and I cant decided About you tonight Your jeans are tight Hair’s thrown up nice And we’ll buzz on a dime and I’ll find That look when I see through your smile (Chorus) 1,2 I won’t forget about you 3,4 Coat on I’m out the door ‘Cause there’s nothing wrong With wanting a little bit more And Janie I’ll be all right I’m leaving the wild west behind And if you can’t find a ride You can come with me if you’d like. But I’m not waiting I won’t be changing anytime soon So you can keep me caged right here Try to make me fall in love with you (chorus) And you don’t deserve to be with a guy Who won’t put you first every single time Oh, but that’s me It’s how I’ll always be And Janie I’m a gypsy baby I’ve been a poet lately Yeah, but that’s the trick And it ain’t the first time that I pulled it. (chorus 2x)

I Let Go 03:32
Saturday night, See these lights are bright From the hillside we wait for twilight You can say what you want ‘bout the working man’s bar But it’s working hard And I always believed in our late night dreams But at some point we face reality And it didn’t just happen, it sure wasn’t planned Just wake up and get beat again. (Chorus) And I cry from the back road And the engine explodes And I let go And I love all the girls that come to the shows But I love your blue eyes more And when we’re wrapped up tight in the middle of the night I forget that I am poor And it didn’t just happen, it sure wasn’t planned Just wake up and get beat again. (Chorus 2x) And sometimes you can’t do it alone Yeah I fought that demon years ago And sometimes your lose control And your not really daring If you still see the shore Yeah I lost sight of land Forever ago. (Chorus 2x)

Come on down love Everything that we wanted Came spilling out last night on the beach I pulled you tighter Your skin felt like ice And I could feel the way you shook the breeze Oh my love, we chase the darkness So we laid there Somewhere down past the breakers And I could feel your hand in the sand next to me No more lost years No more praying on a dream Cause I think this time that we found our key Oh my love, we chase the darkness (Chorus) At the end of the beach, There’s a sand strewn street That leaves you on the edge of your seat Through the night’s edge Oh my love We chase the darkness I never got it You always kept that ghost round your neck at night But something about that shimmering sight Left me lost in the daylight Oh my love, we chase the darkness (Chorus) And I’ve got a ’93 jeep That most nights is good to me And I love the drivers seat Your hair in the breeze and I hear the rent is cheap Up north if you want to leave We’ll watch the sunrise From the coastline (Chorus)

Talk to Me 03:26
Hey girl I’m not the kind of guy who’d ever sit down and say Let me buy you a drink and maybe we can start something And hey, This sounds so lame but I Wish you’d ditch your friend and come talk to me Cause that smile across the room just ain’t gonna do (chorus) I know you’re wondering what you see But if you want to know more girl come find me I know you’re wondering what you see But if you want to know more girl Come talk to me Now I try to be romantic I try to be sweet But some days girl that just ain’t me And I’m not here to fix your insecurities Cause the sexiest thing that you can be Is a woman who doesn’t need me It keeps you a challenge and it keeps me free (Chorus) And since we don’t live inside of a Taylor Swift song I don’t come prepackaged with a smile and a charm But if this thing works out I think you’ll find Every night when you go to sleep I’ll be by your side (Chorus)

For You 03:29
Don’t close your blue eyes Without their light I’d lose sight Don’t whisper, life is Lost and found in the middle of a crowd Oh, come lie with me On the grass On the edge of the band’s clarity (Chorus) Sweet spring nights and a falls breeze New Years Eve and the summers in between I ain’t always been the best me But I try to be So maybe, I’m learning Change don’t come easy man it hurts me Then simply, quietly In the dark of the night I desert me Oh, come lie with me On the grass On the edge of the band’s clarity (Chorus 2x) I feel your breath On my neck Hold me tightly I taste the sweat On your chest Kiss me (Chorus 2x) For you I try to be
