The Wanderer 03:24
lyrics

Travel far beyond alone Hills and dales are the only home I’ve ever known Safe from harm The stars will be my lover’s arms Take me under the willow tree I don’t care to know your petty lies and broken greed Safe from harm The pines will be my lover’s arms CHORUS: Whoa, oh, oh deep in the wood Rings on trees, the things I see are time, time, time, And I know no fear Yeah I know you’re here Lessons hard bought, the seeds are sown Oh it pains to think the things I should have ready known Safe from harm The fire still will keep me warm CHORUS So hold me close, so hold me close now, hold me close So I know you’re here, so I know you’re here CHORUS

Takes Me Down 06:37

It’s hard to know, and as we get older it’s harder to ask And they say we get stronger but I swear it hurts more as time passes And I try to believe that I was… beautiful once Now every misdeed, misstep, I misspoke, you missed the point Feels like every mistake is permanent, takes me down, and now I can’t get off the ground “Make time,” they said, “for the ones who matter the most” So it feels like a crime that I just don’t know who I want to get close to And everyone feels like they are tied down by the clock Now every choice chips the time off of our limited supply Feels like every mistake is permanent, takes me down, and now I can’t get off the ground CHORUS: And I need an angel it’s too hard to not believe in God And justification is makin’ me sore to the soul I’d take it on faith but I just don’t have any faith left to take I’m holdin’ out hard for a chance to believe or at least… At least I need a break Spit out your petty words ‘cause righteousness can hurt Like a broken tooth, remove the proof, that you were hit first Entitlement shouldn’t be dependent on your birth So try to find an open mind for the ones who closed theirs first I am listening to boys whose only toy is philosophical dirt And it’d be fine if it wasn’t meant to hurt CHORUS It’s easy to see, but as you get smarter it’s harder to feel That everyone adds some good and bad and no right way is the real way And I don’t believe that you should teach them they are wrong Believing in heaven is better than letting your conscious go numb I am listening to girls, wanna change the world by telling them they are dumb, and I for one Won’t beat on that drum CHORUS It’s hard to know, and as we get older it’s harder to ask And they say we get stronger but I swear it hurts more as time passes And I try to believe that I was… beautiful once Now every misdeed, misstep, I misspoke, you missed the point Feels like every mistake is permanent, takes me down, and now I can’t get off the ground CHORUS

Stay 03:06

You’re too much to hold on to, too much to believe And each day I fall harder I can’t seem to breathe Hey, ey, ey, ey, you’re the one I want to stay with, baby From the first night you touched me I couldn’t let go And the things that you shared then made me want to know you Hey, ey, ey, ey, you’re the one I want to stay with CHORUS And would you share my world And hold me, I’ll be your girl, I’ll be your girl And take me every night and I’ll be I’ll be your light Would you be mine? And the way that we smile the way that we laugh Doesn’t matter how long still the time’s gone too fast But hey, ey, ey, ey, you’re the one I want to stay with, baby I remember the time you first said it to me And that word is so scary, a risk to believe But hey, ey, ey, ey, you’re the one I want to stay with CHORUS
