Lines 03:04
Every day since then I've marveled at the skies They've been painted in the color of your eyes And the sunlight shines in substitute of you So my heart reminds itself to whom it's due All the lines we drew were always in the sand And a tide came in that nothing could withstand If the canvas must lie so close to the sea Then we'll draw new lines connecting you and me There's a joy in feeding fire of the chest Even if the ship is lost among the rest For the hope of safe return burns blazing bright So I'll fix my line and stare into the night Any certainty in love leaves some afraid And it's true our lines have seen some better days But the heart's the only compass we can trust And I know in mine to never give you up Summer days bring my love away Summer days, oh so far away But spring days, she's here to stay Give me one more day, another day (One more day, another day)

The Road 03:10
This road before me stretches until What follows overtakes and I know it will But what I'm chasing might be worse still Just one more hill This rusty wreck I'm in deserves its own song I can't believe it's still moving along I just might make it if nothing goes wrong We'll carry on My ride's near done for, she's in a sorry state I've never shied away from certain fate Oh, but it's failure I've always hated Oh wait - Bright light, weak knees, I blink and sway Vaguely aware, my pursuers fade away Bells ring in my head I cannot place There's one last chance for one more day One more day No one knows better than you or I There's nothing out there but sea and sky Maybe I'd better just go home Just go home

I'm looking for a way to show that together we'll endure The years have nursed a cynic temperance that little else could cure Survival instinct's left us alive but immature I think we're capable of better, oh, I'm sure I'm looking for a newborn ocean where waters overflow The well we wished in drained its waters and crumbled long ago And nighttime worries drag us deeper through the undertow I think we're capable of better, oh You feel we may have missed our open door But hope for better leaves you wanting more I'm looking for a way to tell you there's nothing left to fear 'Cause through the sharp and rapid waters I will be right here This union tying us together's holding strong this year I still think we're capable of better, you know it too, my dear You feel we may have missed our open door But hope for better leaves you wanting more The seas we sail are growing deeper I know I'm not my brother's keeper But maybe we'll together reach the shore You feel we may have missed our chance again But hope for better's still your only friend The seas we sail are growing deeper I know I'm not my brother's keeper But maybe we'll together reach the end

Take Me Away 03:49
Edge of a mountain over the sea Shore of an ocean whispers to me Tenuous light breeze intensifies Please let it take me into the skies Take me away, take me away Take me away, take me away Eyelids shut tightly, holding my breath Life isn't nearly all that complex Concerns and worries await at the door So let the wind take me, just let me soar Take me away, take me away Take me away, take me away Just for one day, take me away Take me away, take me away I feel I'm waiting for the one I left on that white shore Take me away Take me away, take me away Tenuous light breeze intensifies Please let it take me into the skies

Pickup Radio 02:32
Well there I was, a-working through the crowd without a care As I closed the case on my guitar I saw her standing there I caught her eye and looked her down, my heart sprinting away I introduced myself although I knew she'd missed me play Well I said, I'm big around here And I said, you oughtta know And she said, I've never heard you on the radio So I said, well, I'm big in Jersey And I said, come to my show But she said, I've still never heard you on the radio Oh, oh, oh Back then I played for tips and change, and made a living thus I had a mic and a guitar but a record was way too much So I went home, I got some wire, resistors, tape, and glue And built me an FM transmitter well before the night was through Well I said, I'm big around here And I said, you oughtta know And she said, I've never heard you on the radio So I said, well, I'm big in Jersey And I said, come to my show But she said, I've still never heard you on the radio Oh, oh, oh Well I said, how nice to see you And I saw her eyes aglow And she said last night I heard you on the radio So I said some humble nothings And that night I took her home And it's all because she heard me on the radio Oh, oh, oh

Simple Joys 02:10
When your early calendar is clear so you snooze eight times before you go When your breakfast bowl's at the ideal milk-to-cereal ratio When my sky's threatening to rain I take time 'till I regain my composure So I will always find these simple joys of mine A dry leaf's crunch under your feet, the snap of a fresh can of beer Correcting your friends on breakfast meat, it's Taylor ham when you order here When my sky's threatening to rain I take time 'till I regain my composure So I will always find these simple joys of mine When you make your friend's Myspace Top 8 and a safe bet that she likes you too When it's not a date, but not not a date, but at least it's just the two of you A complement you don't expect A smile honest to its core Lunch with someone you respect Time with someone you adore When my sky's threatening to rain I take time 'till I regain my composure So I will always find - When my sky's threatening to rain I take time 'till I regain my composure So I will always find - When my sky's just a little grey And the day's not gone my away I remember that I will always find these simple joys of mine
