Twenty Three Places

2003

  • Can't believe that you're gone without a trace

    I can't believe you got no tears upon your face

    While mine is soaking wet

    Making up for your lack I guess

    Thats how it is, in love, or out of love as I sit now

    Without you next to me

    Wishing things that just can't be

    It's all that I can do

    Just sit back and watch it all fall through, yeah

    It should've so good, it could've been so right

    That was before the day forever died

    I'm wishing on what-ifs and taking my chances

    That was before the day forever died

    Theres nothing left to be said

    Its all been spoken

    In spite of words you couldn't find for me

    I guess you came out ahead

    Now I'm broken into a man ashamed to show his face

    Walkin away seemed so easy for you

    So why's it gotta be so hard for me

    To see that its over when for so long love was just you and me

    Its all that I can do

    Just sit back and watch it all go through

    It should've been so good, It could've been so right

    That was before the day forever died

    I'm wishin on what-ifs, I'm taking my chances

    That was before the day forever died.

    Should've been so good, could've been so right

    That was before the day forever died

    I'm wishin on what-ifs, I'm taking my chances

    That was before the day forever, the day forever died

  • California’s come and gone

    And now I’ve got my mind back on

    The open air and you on Highway 1

    And baby every since that day

    Been trying to get back to that place

    Where everything was right under the sun.

    Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, I’m waiting

    Saturday took you away

    Sunday Morning brought the rain

    Now cloudy skies are covering the blue

    Why’d you have to disappear?

    It’s not the same without you here

    When everything’s reminding me of you

    Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, I’m waiting

    To see you again

    Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, I’m waiting

    To see you again

    Would you come back? Won’t you come back?

    ‘Cuz I’m waiting, I’m waiting

    Would you come back? Won’t you come back?

    ‘Cuz I’m waiting, I’m waiting to see you again

    Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, I’m waiting

    Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, I’m waiting

    To see you again, To see you again

    I’m waiting, I’m waiting

    Marianne, Marianne, Marianne

  • Windows down, the night blows in

    Tap the beat on the wheel as the tires spin

    Until we’re there crank the radio

    We’ll join in with the songs we know

    Hey, Everything’s Right

    Sing Everything’s Right tonight

    Hey, Everything’s Right

    Sing Everything’s Right tonight

    Smiles light up as we walk in

    Old conversations begin again

    Nostalgia’s thick as the August air

    It takes us back to the time when we didn’t care- no we didn’t care

    Hey, Everything’s Right

    Sing Everything’s Right tonight

    Hey, Everything’s Right

    Sing Everything’s Right tonight

    Oooh Everything’s Right

    Hey, Everything’s Right

    Sing Everything’s Right tonight

    Hey, Everything’s Right

    Sing Everything’s Right tonight

  • Keep distracting me with that beauty

    Leaving me wanting more

    Reminding me of my duty

    To lock these eyes to Yours

    And I’ve never known a love so true

    I want to see all of You

    When green meets red and red meets blue

    I want to see all of You

    Sunlight dances with the distance

    In her squinty eyed shoes

    And i’m chasing down horizon

    In hopes of being danced with too

    And I’ve never known a love so true

    I want to see all of You

    When green meets red and red meets blue

    I want to see all of You

    Daylight sings all that morning air brings

    And i’m lost, i’m lost, i’m lost inside you, inside you

    And I’ve never known a love so true

    I want to see all of You

    When green meets red and red meets blue

    I want to see all of You

  • Never been much good on my own

    So I’m trying to find somebody else

    Never been good at finding much except this

    Loneliness all by myself

    Spotting you ain’t been easy

    And what’s a boy to do

    When I got this spot right beside me, baby

    Waiting here just for you

    So you go hide, and i’ll come seek

    Maybe someday in the middle we just might meet

    Because I’m counting to 100 and I promise I won’t peek

    As you go hide, and i’ll come seek

    How much longer will this game go on?

    I guess only time will tell

    ‘Cuz I’d hate to hear that you’re all alone, all alone girl

    Overlooked in search of someone else

    So you go hide, and i’ll come seek

    Maybe someday in the middle we just might meet

    Because I’m counting to 100 and I promise I won’t peek

    As you go hide, and i’ll come seek

    Please show your face

    ‘Cuz I want you to be it..I want you to be it

    So you go hide, and i’ll come seek

    Maybe someday in the middle we just might meet

    Because I’m counting to 100 and I promise I won’t peek

    So you go hide, and i’ll come seek

    Maybe someday in the middle we just might meet

    Because I’m counting to 100 and I promise I won’t peek

    As you go hide, and i’ll come seek

  • I'm not made of gold

    Thought I told you so

    With your hopes so high

    I'll tell you one more time

    You'll hear me if you try

    I could never be that for you

    I could never be that for you

    I could never take your cloudy skies and make them blue

    You keep on telling me I light your day

    You're hanging on to every word I say

    I could never be that for you, that for you

    Put it on the line

    Wear it on your sleeve

    It's up to me now

    But I'll never make your broken heart begin to beat

    I could never be that for you

    I could never be that for you

    I could never take your cloudy skies and make them blue

    You keep on telling me I light your day

    You're hanging on to every word I say

    I could never be that for you, that for you

    I can't be your everything

    I can not make things right

    I'll tell you one more time

    Maybe you'll hear me if you try

    I could never be that for you

    I could never be that for you

    I could never take your cloudy skies and make them blue

    You keep on telling me I light your day

    You're hanging on to every word I say

    I could never be that for you, that for you

  • I don't know how the stars hang

    Or how there's night and then there is day

    I don't know how you spoke into the black

    And made it all obey

    All that I know is the bleeding in my heart

    And the healing in your touch

    All that I know is that you gave everything

    So let that be enough... it's all I know, it's all I know

    I don't know how your love works

    Or how you cover me in grace

    I don't know how you swallow all I am

    When I can't stand my taste, oh

    All that I know is the bleeding in my heart

    And the healing in your touch

    All that I know is that you gave everything

    So let that be enough... it's all I know

    I can't explain the mystery,

    But I know the answer

    All that I know is the bleeding in my heart

    And the healing in your touch

    All that I know is that you gave everything

    So let that be enough... it's all I know, it's all I know

  • It's cold in the living room on Lindenwood

    It's quiet 'round the table tonight

    It's half empty in this house and this half don't know what to do

    Wesley, why'd you have to leave us so soon?

    We keep stumbling through the words to explain it all

    We keep searching for the beauty in the dust

    We keep telling ourselves that it was your time

    Wesley, why can't you just be here tonight?

    Glasses at the bedside

    Keys are in the car

    Shoes are on the staircase

    And you're beating in our hearts

    Wesley, why'd you have to leave us so soon?

    We keep waiting for your footsteps at the back door

    We keep waiting for the punchline to the joke

    We keep shedding these tears and shouting at the moon

    Wesley, why'd you have to leave us so soon?

    Glasses at the bedside

    Keys are in the car

    Shoes are on the staircase

    And you're beating in our hearts

    Wesley, why'd you have to leave us so soon?

    Wesley, why'd you have to leave us so soon?

    Wesley, why'd you have to leave us?

  • Falling asleep to the sound of stars shooting ‘round the moon

    But I can’t watch ‘em fly tonight, baby

    I’m too busy here watching you

    I guess your smile is the sun’s way of lighting up what’s dark

    So shine, shine, shine for me baby, it only takes a spark

    Sweetness in Starlight

    Sweetness til the day sighs

    Sweetness in Starlight

    Sweetness til the sunrise

    And there’s nothing under these bright stars

    That could bring this night to ruin

    So hold on tightly to me baby

    ‘Cuz tonight’s gonna end too soon

    And your touch is potent medicine

    Knocks me out with just one shot

    I’ve never seen such strong elixir, baby- it fixes all that I’m not

    You fix all that I’m not, yeah

    Sweetness in Starlight

    Sweetness til the day sighs

    Sweetness in Starlight

    Sweetness til the sunrise

    I’m holding so tightly, baby

    I won’t let you go, I won’t let you go.

    Sweetness in Starlight

    Sweetness til the day sighs

    Sweetness in Starlight

    Sweetness til the sunrise

    Sweetness in Starlight, Starlight, Starlight

    Sweetness til the day sighs

    On and on and on and on, yeah

    La di da

  • Lengthening shadows

    Timeless days

    Laughing in the sunlight

    Losing our way

    Grass underneath us

    Sky above

    We're in the middle

    Surrounded by love

    Let's kick off our shoes

    And wade through the night

    The air's so warm

    The moon just right

    We'll sing to the stars

    And dance by their light

    As we kick off our shoes

    And wade through the night

    When I look around

    I just can't deny

    Everything you

    Everything I

    Tracing your outline

    Against the painted sky

    Connecting the dots

    Between you and I

    So let's kick off our shoes

    And wade through the night

    The air's so warm

    Moon’s just right

    We’ll sing to the stars

    And dance by their light

    As we kick off our shoes

    And wade through the night

    We'll hike up our jeans

    And get our feet wet

    Maybe we'll dance until the dawn

    Let's kick off our shoes

    And wade through the night

    The air's so warm

    The moons just right

    We'll sing to the stars

    And dance by their light

    As we kick off our shoes

    And wade through…

  • Stay away from me

    I'll be gone soon

    It's just so hard to let go once we've grabbed hold

    It's nothing that you've done

    You're not the only one

    I'm just learning to be in twenty-three places

    I'm falling off the face of the earth

    Crashing into bridges I burn

    I'm falling off the face of the earth

    I'll be home soon

    Is this how the story goes

    When rubber meets the road

    Waving goodbye is so hard without hello

    Cause' I'm falling off the face of the earth

    Crashing into bridges I burn

    And I'm falling off the face of the earth

    But I'll be home soon

    I keep forgetting to

    Keep you an arms length away

    And I'm falling off the face of the earth

    Crashing into bridges I burn

    I'm falling off the face of the earth

    But I'll be home soon

    I'll be home soon

    I'll be home soon
