This Is Me 03:02
lyrics
buy track
Hello, this is me As you can see I'm small and frail And I was once described as fragile But not to my face Hey there, it's still me As you can see I'm probably the same You see I don't like to change Too frequently When I was young I was told I could fly if I put my mind to it But my arms grew very tired and weak This is me This is me Hello, this is me As you can see Tomorrow I'll be 23 But lately I'm a bit naive When I was young I was told I was just like all the other kids But my reflection told me differently When I was young I was told I could explain things with my new theories But lately they're a bit hazy Hello, this is me I'm probably the same It's still me

If You See Me 03:03
lyrics

It's amazing The steps I've seen you take and fall And helped to pick you up Then you'd leave me blind, dumbfounded and desperate You could promise to steal the stars for me Then my ignorance would sway in And I'll believe every word that you say Some day if you see me Waiting here so patiently Some day if you see me Come down here and rescue me It's amazing The tears I've seen you shed and helped you to wipe away Without a second thought of selfishness or lust or greed I won't stop fighting for you so easily You could show me the stars on the ceiling And not even see that I'm on my knees Some day if you see me Waiting here so patiently Some day if you see me Come down here and rescue me I've been battered and broken but not like this before You leave me tangled in your stories but can't seem to help Come and cut me down I've been battered and broken but not like this before You leave me tangled in your stories but can't seem to help Come and cut me down Some day if you see me Waiting here so patiently Some day if you see me Come down here and rescue me Some day if you see me Waiting here so foolishly Some day Come down here and rescue me Please rescue me Please rescue me, dear

Scout's Honor 04:22
lyrics

Please believe me Don't mind the holes in my knees Pay no attention to these scars I may just need a little bit more time I may just need a little time To pick up the pieces and dust me off I'm fine, scout's honor I'll be feeling okay until you let me down I'm fine, scout's honor I'll be feeling okay until I hit the ground Make no mistake I'm upright and I'm breathing And I'm attacking and defending With my shields The blind from the light as almost all gone away And I can only barely feel Your crushing blow from yesterday I'm fine, scout's honor I'll be feeling okay until you let me down I'm fine, scout's honor I'll be feeling okay until I hit the ground Don't fret, I bet It's probably just your overactive imagination Pay no mind, I'm fine I may just need a little bit more time I may just need a little bit more time I may just need a little bit more time I may just need a little time To pick up the pieces and dust me off I'm fine, scout's honor I'll be feeling okay until you let me down I'm fine, scout's honor I'll be feeling okay until I hit the ground I'm fine, scout's honor I'll be feeling okay until you let me down I'm fine, scout's honor I'll be feeling okay until you let me down Don't let me down Don't let me down Don't let me down

I Stand 03:19
lyrics

Here I stand before you Arms outstretched My ribs open and bare I come to you seeking cruelty Bravery and promises That only you can share Tell me your secrets Like I've told you mine And the promises that I'll keep So here are my hands And here is my breath And here, my dear, is where I stand Here I stand before you Complete but broken And utterly confused You bring me to water But won't let me Drink even the smallest sip Tell me your secrets Like I've told you mine And the promises that I'll keep So here are my hands And here is my breath And here, my dear In the clear, is where I stand Here I stand before you Arms outstretched My ribs open and bare

Next Time You Fly 03:50
lyrics
buy track
I think we hit a plateau We're on unstable ground I want to go higher You want to go lower But we can't stay where we are The next time you fly over me I won't be the same as yesterday The next time you fly over me I won't be the same I think we hit a brief snag A small crack in the surface I want to mend it with super glue And you want to let it rip The next time you fly over me I won't be the same as yesterday The next time you fly over me I won't be the same I think we made a bad call I want to see an instant replay I think we made a bad choice I want a chance to review the tape The next time you fly over me I won't be the same The next time you fly over me I won't be the same The next time you fly I won't be the same I won't be the same The next time you fly The next time you fly I won't be the same I won't be the same The next time you fly The next time you fly

Here's To Fastballs 03:29
lyrics
buy track
3am and cold out Darker than most anything The kids have all up and gone away Say the last of our goodbyes As we pack up the van again Tomorrow's just gonna be another day Here's to fastballs And here's to my own room And here's to a night in my own bed Here's to fastballs And here's to home cooked meals And here's to the nights that drift away 9am and bright out As we pull in to another town And a bar room full of folded arms and stares Probably not my brightest venture And I'm not always your biggest fan But God, what I'd give for just one more game Here's to fastballs And here's to my own room And here's to a night in my own bed Here's to fastballs And here's to home cooked meals And here's to the nights that drift away Here's to fastballs And here's to my own room And here's to a night in my own bed Here's to fastballs And here's to home cooked meals And here's to the nights that drift away That drift away That drift away 3am and cold out Darker than most anything God, what I'd give for just one more game

Goodnight, Goodnight 01:59
lyrics
buy track
You're probably right I'm more of a broken record Still running backwards Up and falling down So I'll patch the holes And I'll count off the big mistakes Like the time I forgot the words To that song about angels Goodnight goodnight Seen one too many movies Where the bad guy Gets away Read too many fairy-tales With happy every after So I'll patch the holes And I'll count off the big mistakes Like the time I forgot the words To that song about angels Goodnight goodnight So I'll patch the holes And I'll cover up my bruises But I finally did remember all the words To that song about angels Goodnight goodnight
