Mid July
Fireflies
Out all night
'til four in the morning
You called me
At five thirty
Just to see
How I was doing
Fine, I'm fine
Without you
But not when I'm around you
Please, don't go
'Cuz you feel like home
Out of line
And out of time
I will find
My chances are fading
Occupied
By my pride
I will try
Again and again
Fine, I'm fine
Without you
But not when I'm around you
Please, don't go
'Cuz you feel like home

River Song

She is sitting there upon the ledge
Throwing rocks into the river, the river
And she is sitting there upon the docks
Throwing rocks into the river, the river
She aims her weapons at the leaves
She aims for me, she aims to please
She aims her face towards the sea
She aims for me, she aims to please
The tracks, the blacktop, the cracks, the backdrop
The blood, the sweat, the late night train stop
Ankles ache and blisters bleed
Miles and miles on these two feet
The songs we sang, the words we wrote
The lonely man in the paint stained coat
I'm moving fast, you're standing still
The hasty man with a two dollar bill
The fish we caught, the poles we brought
The big mistake that brought us to the river
Our socks got soaked, our faith revoked
All the faith we put into the river
The tracks, the blacktop, the cracks, the backdrop
The blood, the sweat, the late night train stop
Ankles ache and blisters bleed
Miles and miles on these two feet
She is sitting there upon the ledge
Throwing rocks into the river, the river
And she is sitting there upon the docks
Throwing rocks into the river, the river

Being Near Lansing

Go downstairs, unlock the door
'Cuz I am coming home
Pick your clothes up off the floor
Make sure your mother knows
Yesterday will fade away
When the morning comes
But for now I'm here to stay
There's no need to run
The same posters on your wall
I knew you'd never change
Records out, I've heard them all
We've always thought the same
Nineteen years, still going strong
We've got much more to do
I hope you like to sing along
'Cuz this one was for you

I've lived my whole life in dark green
But I've never felt it fit quite right on me
The answer that came in a dream
Said things might not be what they always have seemed
I've lived here forever and we've
Been through a whole lot but now I must leave
So I'll go with your song in my ears
And wind in my face that will dry all my tears
I've found guidance from up in a tree
Your head's upside down, but you're wiser than me
The sun sets so quickly 'round here
The darkness brings danger my feet are so near
I've found a new home in this ground
The dogs follow me as I walk through the town
The ocean, the mountain, the tree
I'm becoming the man I though I'd never be
Seven years passed in the blink of an eye
Sometimes I find myself wondering why
But I am the one meant for this thing
So with this ocarina I'll sing

Into the Night Sky
03:19

We used to dream
Of summer nights spent in the fields at fourteen
But that was so long ago
Where have we gone?
Across the sea, across the states and then some
Buried in snow for all I know
It's been four years
I can't believe it's been so long since my fears
of leaving you came true
I've moved along
But Texas is the Reason I wrote this song
Look at the moon, I see it too
And if you look out into the night sky
You will see the stars that I see too
Suddenly halfway across the world
doesn't seem so far at all
Counting the lights
Would let me know how far I'd gone on those nights
Striking my feet on the street
I won't forget
The times we had before we were separate
Someday we'll meet again
And if you look out into the night sky
You will see the stars that I see too
Suddenly halfway across the world
doesn't seem so far at all
