All That I've Done Has Found Me

1.
The summer was a blur of discovery & heat The days are cold & getting colder by the week Light that flakes all around you like a snow That you never got to see fall a year ago Shaking & shivering in the frost like a flower The nights are long & getting longer by the hour Words to a secret song you sing to yourself Promises you make but keep underneath your breath Baby when you dream do you recognize Do we share the street, do you pass me by Do I look the same when you close your eyes Do you know my face after all this time What good is waiting when you never reach the front What good is praying when you don't get what you want Struggle with faith & wrestle with your doubt With how you can live with what you can live without The ice that melts against the warmth of your cheek Moments slip fast & slip faster as we speak We were never meant to be long for this earth We were born to bring love into this world

Try Harder 02:04
The years show through my skin like light behind a curtain A truth that's sinking in, a future so uncertain If I ever wanted more I never thought of it before It was never something I could hold I'm always up against it, I'm always running out of time If I could keep this moment & preserve it in this light
3.
I always wait an extra minute too long I always stay an awkward moment too late I can't remember when I've been so wrong If I tell you can you keep it safe Can you forgive me Can you help me see Will you forget or will you set me free I was reckless, I was cavalier with my intentions & my time I know I'll never regain all those years I'm always centuries behind I can't tell where the disappointment ends In the silence hanging in the air Even snakes get to shed their skin Secrets like a smile behind your hair
