Hi Friend 04:21
Verse 1 Hi friend, How've you been doing I know we haven't spoke in a while now But I've seen you And the way you've been living So proud that it makes me smile, I Cant keep it inside you just make me happy People giving me the side eye Cause I look so lame, but I gotta explain. Chorus I'm so glad I got the chance to know you, The way that you think, and the way that you are. And I'm sorry If I never told you, You light up my life, like the night and the stars. And I'm still trying to find a way to show you, That I wouldn't be me without you. I know this life can get complicated, But this is what this shit is all about. Verse 2 You are my sister, I'm your brother, You got so much wisdom, And that's why I love you, so You know I miss you, Whenever we're apart, I say. I hope you listen To the words I sing to you, Chorus Who do you love? Go tell'm how you feel. Who do you love? Go tell'm how you feel.

High Mountain Walker: Love is a high mountain, Stark in the windy sky If you would never Lose your breath, Don’t you climb so high Why’d you have to go Away Right when I need you, You know I need you, baby, Now How could you just up and leave, Right when the soldier’s knocking at my door. What is it for? Why do we keep on fighting this way? When you know, I I don’t need you. I’m my own man. I just need you, now (now, now, now). I will leave you, When I’m better. Its a long way down (Down) SOUL KHAN: I guess you could say, You’re a competent dude, When they gossip to you, As they wobbling through, But what kind of a trap am I walking into, I got rockets to fuel up and fly to the moon For a positive view And a bottle of moon dust to give to the kids that they mock on the school bus Who probably could fill up a novel or two With the promises given by army recruiters Who is your idle, that you would switch lives with If you could decide it Just pick up this rifle, And you would aline with’em Why would I lie to you? You could tell women that I could provide for you Nah. The apple of his eye’s a scandalous, Skin tight, black jean, gothic goddess Had knee scars, and marvel comics, A heart that’s as honest as Paris at Midnight I never been Well neither have I, But if you ever go Then just keep me in mind. The higher we go, Then the steeper we climb, So it better be worth, What you’re leaving behind. Walker: Like when autumn leaves Fall down from the trees Everything changes, Life rearranges Maybe that’s the way its gotta be Lost in a busy world You don’t know where your going, now. And it feels like the page is turning, Faster, your vision is falling apart And it feels like its crumbling around you. I heard what you said, And I believe you, You’re feeling better. I just don’t see it now (now, now, now, now) We’ve reached a point where, There’s no turning back from. We went the wrong way Down Love is a high mountain, Stark in the windy sky If you would never Lose your breath, Don’t you climb so high Love is a high mountain, Stark in the windy sky If you would never Lose your breath, Don’t you climb so high

Paid Vacation She left me all alone, On a paid vacation Said she had to go. Told me to be patient. She said it’s the only way She had to take a break and Looked me in the eye. Told me just be patient But I won’t stay here waiting (no I’m not wating) No I’m not waiting. I said baby don’t go, Maybe I’m slow But I’m not racing She left me all alone, (baby don’t go,) On a paid vacation (Maybe I’m slow) Said she had to go. Told me to be patient. She said it’s the only way (I’m slow) She had to take a break and (but I’m not racing) Looked me in the eye. (no, I’m not waiting) Told me just be patient (I’m slow) No, I’m not waiting (Waiting)

19 Times She was my girl We had a good thing going Until she left Now I think I’ll never get over Never get ov’ never get over her I’m not sure, there’s a possibility She was the only one (only one) She Called me 19 times, If I’d heard 1 I’d have a son and a wife, But I heard none. Lord I just slept right through it. And now it’s done. And I think I’ll never get over Never get ov’, never get over her I’m not sure, there’s a possibility She was the only one (only one) She Called me 19 times, If I’d heard 1 I’d have a son and a wife, But I heard none.

Let You Down 03:44
Let you down V1 Sometimes I get a feeling that’s hard to hide When I look in your big, old eyes Don’t want to Let you down Don’t want to let you down And I cant shake this shit, no matter how hard I try You build me up so high Don’t want to hit the ground Don’t want to let you down. Daddy oh daddy, da da da da da day, Now I understand some of your trifling ways These days, I pray… for just a little less pressure Pressure Momma oh momma, I don’t know what to say I’m Feeling like this game is getting harder to play Expectations fade Just wanna make you proud Don’t want to let you down Feel like I’m gonna fuck it up and I don’t know why But I do know I Don’t wanna let you down Don’t wanna let you down

Take Care 04:52
Take Care: Days go by, I wonder where I'm going. Will we see fruit, From the seeds we're sewing? We work harder, Sleeping less each night. Struggling, fighting, trying to do what we think's right. In some evenings, We feel lonely broken. Complex thoughts and feelings, Go unspoken. Streams dividing, Start to feel like oceans. Running faster, but our motion's froze. You need somebody to love you. You need somebody to take care of you. You need somebody who trusts you. You need someone who will be there for you. You need to feel your understood. You need to see they know, Your only trying to do what you think is good. In some evenings, We feel lonely broken. Complex thoughts and feelings, Go unspoken. Streams dividing, Start to feel like oceans. Running faster, But our motion's froze. You need somebody to love you, You need somebody to take care of you. You need somebody who trusts you. You need someone who will be there for you. You need to feel your understood. You need to see they know, Your only trying to do what you think is good.
