  • Recently, I’ve been drawn to the simple things
    Like the sun on the window pane
    How the light filters through

    Slowly, waking from daydreams so peaceful
    Wind whispers softly, so quiet
    Like my name on your lips

    I’ve spent my whole life
    Wishing that things would just change
    I never stayed in the same place
    But something has shifted inside
    Recently
    Recently

    Suddenly there’s been space for the in-between
    You & me on the front porch swing
    Watching people walk by

    I’ve spent my whole life
    Wishing that things would just change
    I never stayed in the same place
    But something has shifted inside
    Recently
    Recently

    Recently all
    All that I know
    Is all that I needed was you all along
    Recently all
    All that I know
    Is all that I needed was you all along
    Recently all that I know is
    All that I needed my whole life was you
    Recently all that I know is
    All that I needed is at home with you

    So we find ourselves right here just holding
    Tight to the moments before they slip away
    Leaf on the breeze

  • When the only thing falling to place

    Is the rain coming down in your face

    When you’re overdue and you’re underpaid and you cant catch a break

    Don’t forget that you’re loved anyway

    Go easy

    Stay open

    Oh, keep going

    You’re bent but you’re not broken

    Oh, keep going

    Oh, keep going

    When you’re down and there’s not a way out

    Wanna fly but you’re stuck on the ground

    When you gave it all but it’s not enough and you just can’t see how

    You’ll move on, take my hand, sing it loud

    Sing it loud

    Go easy

    Stay open

    Oh, keep going

    You’re bent but you’re not broken

    Oh, keep going

    Oh, keep going

    Keep going

    When you’re right on the brink

    Keep going

    You got more than you think

    Get up and get on

    Know that you’re not alone in the fight

    Someday maybe you’ll look back and say

    “That’s why I am who I am today”

    Go easy

    Stay open

    Oh, keep going

    You’re bent but you’re not broken

    Oh, keep going

    Oh, keep going

    You’re bent but you’re not broken

    Oh, keep going

    Oh, keep going

  • Rosalee
    Prettiest leaf on your family tree
    Tell me a secret
    When you close your eyes baby
    Tell me what world do you see

    Rosalee
    Sometimes this feeling takes over me
    Do you feel it too
    Was I holding you baby
    Or maybe it’s you holding me
    Oh, Rosalee

    Darling, please
    Give my love to your momma
    Darling, please
    I was young and I was wrong
    On my knees
    Praying he don’t do you harm
    I hope he ain’t like me, Rosalee

    Rosalee
    Don’t let this world send you out to sea
    Don’t hide who you are
    When you feel like you’re drowning
    Remember the truth sets you free
    Oh Rosalee

    Darling, please
    Give my love to your momma
    Darling, please
    I was young and I was wrong
    On my knees
    Praying he don’t do you harm
    I hope he ain’t like me, Rosalee

    I hope he ain’t like me,
    I hope he ain’t like me, Rosalee
    I hope he ain’t like me,
    I hope he ain’t like me, Rosalee

  • These days been living in slo-mo
    Don’t know the last time I fomo’d
    Ever since I got a gold ring
    Been hooked on the small things
    The way she looks when she’s sleeping
    Dog-walks, porch talks in the evening
    Staying in because we want to
    Doing whatever we do

    I know it
    I’m so lit
    But I don’t ever wanna change

    She got me feeling like a homebody
    Maybe soon I’ll get a dad body
    And you know there ain’t anybody else I’d rather settle down with
    No, nobody

    I used to live it like a busybody
    Looked high and low just tryin to find somebody
    Now I know there ain’t anybody else I’d rather settle down with
    No, nobody

    So long since we’ve been out to eat
    Haven’t drove the car in a week
    We’ve come to our senses
    Extraversion is expensive

    So keep the ladder you’re climbing
    Keep your social butterflyin’
    We finally figured it out
    We’re all caught up on our shows now

    And I know it
    I’m so lit
    But I don’t ever wanna change

    She got me feeling like a homebody
    Maybe soon I’ll get a dad body
    And you know there ain’t anybody else I’d rather settle down with
    No, nobody

    I used to live it like a busybody
    Looked high and low just tryin to find somebody
    Now I know there ain’t anybody else I’d rather settle down with
    No, nobody
    No, nobody

    Yeah, we’re chilling out
    And we’re sleeping in
    In a bungalow
    In T-N

    She got me feeling like a homebody
    Maybe soon I’ll get a dad body
    There ain’t nobody with nobody that I’d rather be

    She got me feeling like a homebody
    Maybe soon I’ll get a dad body
    And you know there ain’t anybody else I’d rather settle down with
    No, nobody

    I used to live it like a busybody
    Looked high and low just tryin to find somebody
    Now I know there ain’t anybody else I’d rather settle down with
    No, nobody

    No no no no no, nobody
    Oh, Homebody

  • Everybody’s racing like they’re running out of time

    Pinging like a pinball off whatever’s on their mind

    All the while they overlook what’s in front of their eyes

    I’m gonna be fine, crawling my way through life

    Cause I’m in no hurry

    I’m in no hurry

    I’ve been moving slowly

    Good things always take their time

    I may be going nowhere but at least I’ll get there slow

    If its not worth putting off, its not worth doing it at all

    You can keep your progress, your assets, keep your on the go

    Cause drawing it out, soaking it up, turning it down’s the only way I know

    Cause I’m in no hurry

    I’m in no hurry

    I’ve been moving slowly

    Good things always take their time

    Are we too afraid of missing out

    Are we too afraid to change

    Isn’t living it what’s life’s about

    I’ll be on my way

    Eventually

    Cause I’m in no hurry

    I’m in no hurry

    I’ve been moving slowly

    Good things always take their time

    I’m in no hurry

    Taking the long way home

    Cause people move fast, then they get worried

    I’m in no hurry

    People move fast, then they get worried

    I’m in no hurry

    I’m in no hurry

  • I woke up yesterday morning

    I had a smile on my face

    Then I tried making you happy

    That’s when it all went away

    I don’t have much to say

    I don’t have much to say

    Don’t matter anyway

    I don’t have much to say

    You ever look in the mirror

    Wonder how you got this way

    A stranger in the reflection

    That’s what I’m feeling today

    I don’t have much to say

    I don’t have much to say

    Don’t matter anyway

    I don’t have much to say

    I used to drive with the brakes on

    Because I was so afraid

    But come to think of it lately

    Not really that much has changed

    I don’t have much to say

    I don’t have much to say

    Don’t matter anyway

    I don’t have much to say

    I know it probably sounds crazy

    And yeah, it might be too late

    Sometimes I feel so much closer

    The further you move away

    I don’t have much to say

    I don’t have much to say

    Don’t matter anyway

    I don’t have much to say

    I don’t have much to say

    I don’t have much to say

    Much to say

  • So, you’re all the way out this time
    No hope for another try
    Making up your mind
    So cruel and cold
    It’s tearing me apart
    Just so you know

    I need just a little piece
    I’ll take anything
    Gimme something to hold on to
    Do you ever think of me
    After everything
    Gimme something to hold on to

    What to say
    As you drift away
    I don’t want to hold you
    Hold you if you don’t want
    Don’t want me to

    I need just a little piece
    I’ll take anything
    Gimme something to hold on to
    Do you ever think of me
    After everything
    Gimme something to hold on to

    I’ve been holding out
    You’ve been on my mind
    We’ve been wasting time
    Wasting time


    I need just a little piece
    I’ll take anything
    Gimme something to hold on to
    Do you ever think of me
    After everything
    Gimme something to hold on to

    I need just a little piece
    I’ll take anything, yeah
    Gimme something to hold on to
    Do you ever think of me
    After everything, yeah
    Gimme something to hold on to

  • I keep making the same mistakes
    Trying to make a way
    To your heart
    You follow the map I made
    But it never stays the same
    You keep gettin lost

    How do I let go of the things I used to be
    When they’ve still got a hold of me

    Is it ‘sposed to be so hard to love
    Is it ’sposed to be
    Is it ‘sposed to be so hard to love
    Is it ’sposed to be

    Why isn’t it effortless
    Magic in every kiss
    Like they say

    Oh, but maybe a heart won’t grow
    If never knows
    A little rain

    Is it ‘sposed to be so hard to love
    Is it ’sposed to be
    Is it ‘sposed to be so hard to love
    Is it ’sposed to be

    There isn’t a missing piece
    There isn’t a hidden key
    We’re gonna find
    What if all that we’ll ever need
    Is forever in you and me
    To be alright
    To be alright

    How do you let go of the things you used to be
    Without letting go of me

    Is it ‘sposed to be so hard to love
    Is it ’sposed to be
    Is it ‘sposed to be so hard to love
    Is it ’sposed to be

    It’s so hard to love
    So hard to love
    It’s so hard to love
    So hard to love
    So hard to love

  • Honeybee

    I know that lately life is far from what you dreamed

    It feels like there’s nobody left who truly sees

    You for who you are

    Its never been this hard

    Oh, Honeybee

    Right now you can’t see a way from underneath

    All the pain, so heavy and you can’t believe

    It will all work out

    That there’s life after the doubt

    Nothing is impossible

    No, nothing is impossible

    If mountains move and kingdoms fall

    Then nothing is impossible

    I know you’ve prayed

    The nightmare would evaporate when you awake

    That it would somehow all be taken off your plate

    When it all just weighs too much

    When you feel like giving up

    Nothing is impossible

    No, nothing is impossible

    If mountains move and kingdoms fall

    Then nothing is impossible

    When you’re screaming out

    On your knees

    When you need someone to set you free

    Open up

    Let it be

    Take my hand and just believe

    I used to trade

    Hope away for something less, I was afraid

    Of being disappointed when my plans decayed

    Thought the best had gone and passed

    But trust is coming back

    Nothing is impossible

    No, nothing is impossible

    If mountains move and kingdoms fall

    Then nothing is impossible

    No, nothing is impossible

  • Got all these voices talking

    Inside my head

    Reminding me I’m broken

    Like I’d forget

    I’m starting to feel crazy

    But I’d tune them out if I could

    Critically analyzing

    No room for error

    Demanding my perfection

    I could be better

    I get so tired sometimes

    Trying to live up to my head

    But you take it easy on me

    When I’m so hard on myself

    I know I hurt you with my

    Great expectations

    Broken apart by all my

    Evaluations

    If I wanna love you better

    I’ve got to love myself

    You take it easy on me

    When I’m so hard on myself

    You take it easy on me

    When I’m so hard on myself

    Well, I know you’re in my corner

    I know you got my back

    Water in the desert

    Yeah, you know where it’s at

    A shade tree in the summer

    With a hammock for two

    Too good to be true

    You take it easy on me

    When I’m so hard on myself

    Easy on me

    Easy on me

    You take it easy on me

    When I’m so hard on myself

    You take it easy on me

    When I’m so hard on myself

    You take it easy on me

    When I’m so hard on myself

  • We’ve been sleeping in every Saturday morning
    Waking up slow to the light pouring in
    Coffee is on, life is beautifully boring again

    I used to think I was better on my own
    Thought that I didn’t need anyone else
    But you interrupted the story that I told myself

    Now, who would I be without you
    Where would I go
    Thank God that I found you
    What would I do if I lost you
    And what good is love if it don’t cost you
    I need you so much that it scares me
    How did you come to be so necessary

    It's the way that you listen, the way that you see me
    It’s how you keep trying when I’ve given up
    I’m hard on myself, but you make me look easy to love

    So who would I be without you
    Where would I go
    Thank God that I found you
    What would I do if I lost you
    And what good is love if it don’t cost you
    I need you so much that it scares me
    How did you come to be so necessary

    For the first time in my life
    I am not my own
    So if I hold on too tight
    It’s cuz I don’t know

    Who I would be
    Where I would go
    What would I do if I lost you
    What good is love if it don’t cost you

    Who would I be without you
    Where would I go
    Thank God that I found you
    What would I do if I lost you
    And what good is love if it don’t cost you
    I need you so much that it scares me
    How did you come to be so necessary
