Stand Alone

I stand alone
A man against a thousand waves
That tear down cliffs of stone
Fear won’t divide me
Turn my head against what my heart knows
Halcyon days
Remembering the past
I see the world in shades of grey
Silent but dreaming
A flower yearning for the mornings rays
We live on numbered days
And everything we’ve got will slowly fade away
Change is the only thing remaining
The only thing that stays the same
I don’t know any, anybody
Who wouldn’t buy this feeling if they could
I don’t know any, anybody
Who wouldn’t sell their soul to feel this good
I won’t live like a stone, I’m gonna roll

New Year's Day
03:45

It’s New Year’s Day and I am sitting in the shade with my guitar
Underneath a mandarin tree in my own backyard
Well, I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer
Cos it’s a day for new beginnings but the end, my friend, it’s always near
So I don’t make new year’s resolutions
No, I don’t make new year’s resolutions
And though I don’t make new year’s resolutions
There’s still alot I’m gonna do with this new year
I might buy a one-way ticket to a country that I’ve never seen before
Or reignite a romance interrupted by a sliding door
See, I’m under the impression I can do whatever I please
But I’m living like a mandarin tree, just blowing in the breeze
Chorus
I’m always trying to be the best version of me that I can be
I’m not sitting waiting on next New Year
Any new direction starts right here
Chorus

Smile

I could tame any lion with a voice as sweet as yours
If I had skin so smooth, Baby, I could walk through walls
I saw you standing naked with your wiondow open wide
You turned and saw me staring and all that I could do was smile
I smiled, yeah
I was chasing a shadow, but the shadow grew so tall
As the lights went dim behind me, until it wasn’t there at all
I was always expecting the worst
Until I laid my eyes on you I never smiled
The moonlight on your arms is bright
Lay with me until the daylight
I see that burning in your eyes
I know what’s on your mind
I know what’s on your mind
And it makes me smile, yeah

Might Think of You
04:12
|
|

I’m gonna take a long drive
With the windows down
And find a big old tree
Where I cant be found
And I’ll light me a fire
Sing a song or two
But when I’m all alone
I might think of you
But in the morning light
When there’s things to do
I get a game face on
It kinda helps me through
You see my feet are getting itchy in this goldfish bowl
I know when its time to shoot through
I’m leaving by this evening
I won’t tell a soul
Try to become someone new
But when I’m all alone
I might think of you
I might be craving company
But I’m better off alone
Until I'm thinking clearly
I’m turning off the phone
Cos when I’m all alone
I might think of you
