She Pulls Me In

verse
i rent a room in a basement
a green lamp a blue duvet
there’s frost in the corner
there’s an empty picture frame
the alarm clock’s getting louder
i’m waking in a haze
the days are getting shorter
i’m the ashes of her flame
chorus
she pulls me in
verse
she’s the wine that makes me dance
she’s the whiskey that makes me stumble
a clever smile a dangerous laugh
she’s the wine that makes me dance
chorus
she pulls me in
with outstretched arms outstretched hands
she pulls me in...
bridge
she’s as strong as a prayer
she’s as forgiving as a home
always safe always there
she’s as strong as a prayer
chorus
she pulls me in

Pacific Islands

verse
there’s no room aboard this ship
it’s heavy at the seams
drifting off in the dead of night
while the others sleep
down amongst the seaweed sludge
my expectations drag
make this lesson be your last
i’m just an ordinary man
chorus
point me south and set my sail
the destination is surreal
strip my clothes into the sea
let the dirt be washed away
verse
prayers from decades long ago
guide the rollin’ winds
make me bright in these crashing waves
cause i’m sinking deep, pull me up
chorus
point me south and set my sail
the destination is surreal
strip my clothes into the sea
let the dirt be washed away

The Phoenix

verse
we’ve seen a lot of good people
go down in ashes
i’d like to think that we could be the phoenix
rising from the fire
verse
like that empty house on the corner lot
where the windows are broken and the shingles are shot
the foundation’s strong and the chimney is straight
reminds me of us, that place
chorus
that place, that place
we can fix it, we can rebuild it, we can make amends
verse
it was tough enough i couldn’t find a job
then you got pregnant and the phone cut off
in that small town we didn’t know a soul
you tried to warn me but we lost control
chorus
control, control
we can fix it, we can rebuild it, we can make amends
bridge
we were the warmth that december stole
we were two hearts so full they broke
we were the promise and the hope
we can make this house a home
we’ve seen a lot of good people
go down in ashes
we can fix it, we can rebuild it, we can make amends

Only an Echo

|
verse
i can still taste her lips
in every glass of red wine
i still hear her voice
through the pines
chorus
if i could ask her why
if i could say goodbye
if i could sleep at night
it wouldn’t make things right
verse
i can still smell her hair
on my pillow case
and when i close my eyes
i see her face
chorus
if i could ask her why
if i could say goodbye
if i could sleep at night
it wouldn’t make things right
bridge
i came through the door to find only an echo
no trace of a note, no footprint or a phone call
she may not be perfect but i thought she was worth it
chorus
if i could ask her why
if i could say goodbye
if i could sleep at night
it wouldn’t make things right
