We're Not Standing Down
04:03

Well nothing can prepare you
for the ultimate fight
But someones got stand up tonight
It’s time to dig in deeper
with all of our might
it’s time to watch them run for their lives
no waving flags
no standing down
no one surrenders
no one’s backing up from the fight
Oh the feeling inside
In the midst of the fight
When you know that you're right
no one could predict it
the dangers aside
the villains riding high in the night
fingers on the trigger
and fire in my eyes
they’ll never find a safe place to hide
I say reach for the sky
your knees on the ground
Please don't ask why
Just pray I'll let you live through the night
Oh the feeling inside
In the midst of the fight
When you know that you're right
Oh, it’s time to bed down for the night
round the fires that we’ve built in the trenches tonight
Oh, can I rest on your shoulder til light
or we’ll run, til we crash on the beaches tonight
Oh the feeling inside
In the midst of the fight
When you know that you're right

Someday
03:36
|

|
Down past the lake
where we both told the truth
we’re not the same
and we’ll bury the fragments of proof
Driving back home
no one knows where we’ve been
you know what to say
silence you know is golden
Someday
I pray
we’ll forget what we’ve done
Forgive me
How could we
Ever feel that we’ve won
the questions they’d ask
if they knew what we knew
under this mask
there’s a scar in my soul left by you
Someday
I pray
we’ll forget what we’ve done
Forgive me
How could we
Ever feel that we’ve won

Landmines
04:21
|
|||
|
Stepping high through the darkness
it’s getting colder by the hour
throwing stones at the shadows
too afraid to start a fire
we’ll start a fire
is there no solution
cept on the firing line
can’t you just forget this
just give me one more time
tripping over wires
Stepping on the landmines
falling in the craters
the product of our lies
heavy heart from the burden
taking more than I’ve brought
I couldn’t ask for forgiveness
cause then I know I’d been caught
I’ve been caught
is there no solution
cept on the firing line
can’t we just forget this
just give me one more time
tripping over wires
Stepping on the landmines
falling in the craters
the product of the lies
There’s a part of me
where are you now
no one can see
I’m waiting here
a secret place
in my heart for you
tripping over wires
Stepping on the landmines
falling in the craters
the product of the lies

Love Not Over the Hill
03:57
|

|
on the night when he first saw her
at the wedding of a friend
she was all the things he’d asked for
from the angel maker’s hands
but the 20 years between them
was a scandal and a sin
to the friends that stood around them
throwing stones into the wind
But the years they have between them
seem to vanish with the days
and the whispers and the haters voices
set their hearts ablaze
when she smiles he knows it’s worth it
when he holds her she’s content
and the love they share between them
must have been from heaven sent
When he sees her in the morning
when she’s standing in the door
the flaws she tries so hard to hide
makes him love her even more
she’s smart and she is beautiful
adventurous and fun
and the ways he says I love you
makes her know that he’s the one
But the years they have between them
seem to vanish with the days
and the whispers and the haters voices
set their hearts ablaze
when she smiles he knows it’s worth it
when he holds her she’s content
and the love they share between them
must have been from heaven sent
and they’re growing old together
and he may be older still
and he knows what they say cause he’s going grey
but he’s not yet over the hill
But the years they have between them
seem to vanish with the days
and the whispers and the haters voices
set their hearts ablaze
when she smiles he knows it’s worth it
when he holds her she’s content
and the love they share between them
must have been from heaven sent

Love Down South

If I ever get a ticket back to New Orleans
I’m gonna buy myself a ticket back
I’m picking up the girl that broke my heart in two
I’m gonna take back to where I’m at.
I know my momma’s not so proud
of the girls I’ve brought around
but she’ll love the Coon ass girl
my heart has found
I’m spending my last dollar on a wedding ring
and I’m never ever looking back
the preacher looked at me and asked me if I do
I said you didn’t even have to ask
And now my momma looks so proud
as my daddy spins her round
and they love the coon ass girl
my heart has found
I've brought around
memories
made under
grandma’s tree
with the girl that's sweeter than wine
and the love we share
Doesn't even compare
To the love that we're making
Underneath the stars tonight
Now I vow to always make you smile
And I'll always try to go the extra mile
Just to bring everything your heart desires
memories
made under
grandma’s tree
with the girl that's sweeter than wine
and the love we share
Doesn't even compare
To the love that we're making
Underneath the stars tonight

The Elf on the Shelf
03:05
|
|||
|
I woke up on the morning
after turkey day was gone
he just sat there grinning at me all day long
then I heard about the story
how he’s keeps his eyes on me
who is he he’s the elf on the shelf
he was sitting on the stairs
and he was hanging from the blinds
everything that he is doing blows my mind
he was having tea with Barbie
he was in my underwear
he’s the troublemaking
Elf on the Shelf
Every night he talks to Santa
so you better be real good
and you better eat your supper
you should really clean your room
or you’ll end up on the naughty list
you know that’s never good
so be good for the elf on the shelf
So I’m hoping that he saw me
being kind to barbara sue
and I’m hoping that sees the good I do
But does Santa know the trouble
that this little elf has caused
this troublemaking elf on the shelf
Every night he talks to Santa
so you better be real good
and you better eat your supper
you should really clean your room
or you’ll end up on the naughty list
you know that’s never good
so be good for the elf on the shelf
Now I’m laying in my bed
and I’m bundled up real tight
I am stoked and I can barely close my eyes
but I’m know that he is leaving
and I’m just a little sad
say goodbye to the elf on the shelf
Every night he talks to Santa
so you better be real good
and you better eat your supper
you should really clean your room
or you’ll end up on the naughty list
you know that’s never good
so be good for the elf on the shelf

Is it true what you said
bout our summer spent in Amsterdam
holding hands in the streets
did you find me handsome
how'd you feel dear Anne?
In the not that you left
said you'd gone away to Switzerland
Annelies did you take
the pendant to remind yourself or me
Annelies
Annelies
I'll be thinking of you til the very end
When you called me Petel
and your dimpled cheeks filled up with blood
I would smile just like now
and I'd think about the girl I lost somehow
Annelies
Annelies
I'll be thinking of you til the very end
I pray that when the smoke clears
I pray you'll feel the same
and when this thing blows over
I'll see you once again
Annelies
Annelies
Annelies
I'll be thinking of you til the very end

Summer of Regrets
03:24
|
|||
|
even after 20 years
I’m still thinking of
the summer of regrets
It all started with a kiss
and our sweaty arms
around each others necks
for that I won’t apologize
I know your name means quiet
but your smile was always
calling out my name
and then one summer day
when my folks were gone
our sparks turned a flame
and then to shame
and I’m sorry
I didn’t call you back that day
and I’m sorry
for the things I didn’t say
and I’m sorry
it wasn’t meant to end this way
in that summer
of regrets
You called me on the phone
but my father told you
junior’s not at home
you were scared cause you were late
and the things I said were
were just a heavy weight
a heavy weight
and I’m sorry
I didn’t call you back that day
and I’m sorry
for the things I didn’t say
and I’m sorry
it wasn’t meant to end this way
in that summer
of regrets
in the 9 months you were gone
my world changed and you moved on
our summer thing was now a fog
but I still missed you
but the questions that you asked
are always haunting my old past
like when you left where did you go
and was it ‘cause of me
now after all these years
I still wonder if there’s
someone I should meet
is she funny is she fair
does she have my eyes
or auburn colored hair

The Wreckage
05:29
|
|||
|
walking through the lane
taking shakey pictures
of the city streets
and towering trees
Copper into silver
silver into gold
our wanderlust
has led me to my knees
you couldn’t answer yes
I watched you nod your head
and you looked so confused
a bit amused
the beginning of the end
was started there that day
but how could I know
what could I do or say
I wander down
through the wreckage
that was scattered round
and I couldn’t see
past the fallout
that’s now raining down on me
All the lovers say
they couldn’t get much closer
to the one they love
I know it’s true
Cause who but you could ever
answer my old letters
with a numbered guide
of the ways I’ve let you down
I wander down
through the wreckage
that was scattered round
and I couldn’t see
past the fallout
that’s now raining down on me
I couldn’t let you
think you’d won the war
I couldn’t let you
walk away with more
I didn’t think you
would set your sights on me
or that you would
go and drop the bomb on me
just the other day
someone asked me if I’d
ever called you up
I could not say
there’s nothing I can do
my hands are tied and now it seems
your mind’s made up
Your words they linger on
I wander down
through the wreckage
that was scattered round
and I couldn’t see
past the fallout
that’s now raining down on me

Between Us
04:12
|

|
of all the places you could be
you’ve settled on the floor here next to me
will our fathers raise a hand
to stop us or our mothers understand
If you’re falling I will catch you
cause no one’s close enough for rescue
Nothing matters when I’m with you
on that I’ll testify
and the fences that contained us
have fallen over night
And the fires can burn around us
and the sinners telling lies
but nothing comes between
without a fight
now we’re working 9 to 5
taking home enough just to survive
and it’s harder than we thought
but I don’t need no more than what I’ve got
If you’re falling I will catch you
cause no one’s close enough for rescue
do you take me
This is something you should know
like I take you
I will never let you go
we’re holding hands
we should leave this town tonight
we’ll hold each other through the night
If you’re falling I will catch you
cause no one’s close enough for rescue
Nothing matters when I’m with you
on that I’ll testify
and the fences that contained us
have fallen over night
And the fires can burn around us
and the sinners telling lies
but nothing comes between
without a fight

Life Goes On
03:44

|
after the thing the other day
I didn’t know just what to say
how could I know how could I know
I’m coming around to to understand
the situation’s out of hand
and I’m not ready to let go
Thanks for the times
where you tried to make it right
and thanks for the smiles
and the sentiments
and I’m sorry I can’t say
that everything’s okay
but life goes on anyway
I’m disappointed in the ways
we find to push ourselves away
the wall we’ve built is much too high
but there are things that you should know
that I can’t say and cannot show
cause I’ve been broken for so long
Thanks for the times
where you tried to make it right
and thanks for the smiles
and the sentiments
and I’m sorry I can’t say
that everything’s okay
but life goes on anyway
I know it’s awkward but I can’t describe
just how much you mean to me
I know there’s probably nothing I can say
please please please believe
Thanks for the times
where you tried to make it right
and thanks for the smiles
and the sentiments
and I’m sorry I can’t say
that everything’s okay
but life goes on anyway

well it’s time to sit and tell you
in a cute little song
bout the things I love about you
we can all sing along
first your youre silly little giggle
when I tickle you’re toes
or the way you call my name
I think my heart will explode
and your smile well it lights up the room
well you’re such a little cutie
you just don’t understand
how you you melt my heart with kisses
and when holding my hand
you jibber and you jabber
bout birds and the bees
you’re pickin all the flowers
and you give them to me
and your smile well it lights up the room
I want to hug you and to squeeze you
and to laugh and play with you every day
cause you’re really snuggly wuggly
and I love to hear the thing that you say
won’t you always say you love me
and be my lovey dovey I pray
you’re a pretty little princess
but you’ll soon be a queen
and you’re the cutest little princess
that I’ve ever seen
You’re growing up so fast
I think it’s melting my brain
If you grow another inch
I think we’ll all go insane
and your smile well it lights up the room
