Life is the water
God is the sun
Death is the taker and he's coming girl, let's run
We'll live in sunshine
We'll live in waterfalls
I'll imagine that you're safe at home
Sound asleep without your phone
Let's Live forever
It's something we gotta learn
Walk away from the light when it comes

Never Coming Home

I've been working too hard
Life is grinding me
I've been working too hard
To forget your name
Working all alone
Yesterday I had more love than I could handle
Yesterday don't mean-
Don't mean shit today
Now I'm on my own
Got my mind on you
What you going to do
And I'm on my way
I'm never coming home
Midnight mouths moving in
Desperate conversations
Straight Kentucky bourbon
Is all they need to say
I'll take it all alone
Gonna drink this whiskey
'Til my bones are blurry
'Til my eyes are independent
'Til I forget your name
Forget it on my own
Got my mind on you
What you going to do
When you miss me
And I'm on my way
I'm never coming home
Don't know where I'm going
Don't know what I'm doing
Only thing I know is
I'm not staying here
And I'm not going home
I am half-combobulated
Fully unfornicated
And I wish you were-
I wish you were here
Don't want to be alone
Got my mind on you
What you going to do
When you miss me
And I'm on my-
On my way

This is my life
This is my time
Not what I wanted or what I expected
But here I am
No second tries
I'm done with waiting for something to save me
Mountains someday will crumble
The sun will be humbled
But I won't be around
Now is what I'm given
Make sure I'm living
And make a mark somehow
This is all that there is
Spend the money, drink the wine
This is all that there is
So get it while you can
No perfect place
No perfect time
Opportunities fade while you're waiting
Days have died for
Empty nights
Some revelations don't come 'til it's over
I worry too much
About the next one
Can't see the step I'm on
I need to let go
Pick a direction
And make a move right now
This is all that there is
So spend the money and drink the wine
This is all that there is
Get it while you can

Calling Out

I was screaming on my knees,
"Lord, God please help me"
"Just giver her back to me and I swear"
"I'll be the man she needs just make her healthy"
But no one chose to answer my prayer
Now I'm calling out
I'm calling out
But she won't come around
Why won't she come around
I keep thinking if I prove how much I loved her
She'll appear and take this weight from my chest
I keep looking for her face in all this darkness
But all I find is a sea of regrets
Now I'm calling out
I'm calling out
She won't come around
Why won't she come around
I smelled her on my sheets now I can't wash them
I just might never sleep again
I don't know what to do so I keep walking
I'll probably have this pain 'til the end
Now I'm calling out
I'm calling out
But she won't come around
Why won't she come around

Light
In your eyes I saw a little light
Deep and bright
In your eyes I saw a little light
When darkness came someone told me nothing really dies
Like a shooting star lights up a desert sky
Then it keeps moving on
We're into the great unknown
With nothing in the world figured out
We're into the great unknown
If you find a light to guide you
You just try to keep hanging on
September reminds me of that night
We laughed until we cried
We wandered north side streets like stray dogs
We drank too many shitty Miller Lites
Forgot about our lives
And Jon Ross played us our song
Well I guess I would've thought that the night of my life,
Would be something like champagne powered jets to Dubai
But it was sitting by the St. Joe River,
Watching the stars light up your eyes
How could we know we were saying goodbye
We're into the great unknown
With nothing in the world figured out
We're into the great unknown
If you find a light to guide you,
You just try to keep hanging on
