I'm All Yours Tonight
03:17
|

This old heavy feeling
One we well know
On the night we're together
Before the morning I go
Gone for days on end
Gone for weeks at a time
But I'm all yours tonight
It's sleeting in Lansing
Snow in Chicago
Raining in Champaign
But it's warm here in Valparaiso
Though I'm traveling again
My heart's always nearby
And I'm all yours tonight
I get to wondering
Do I leave a part of me where I go?
Will I return as I began
When I left our home?
Who I am, who am I?
Always answered when I'm by your side
I'm all yours

Some Time With You
02:37
|

I was stretched out on our bed
I'm leaving you, the afternoon sun said
My chest was feeling an empty hand
Quick breaths up and down
When did all the lights go out?
I'm curled, it's so quiet
I can almost hear the dark
I'm not begging
I'm long overdue
To get some time with you
Do you remember, not long ago,
In a church parking lot, sharing our smoke?
There's so little in this world
I'll ever understand
He said, "Give her whatever she wants"
She said, "Don't ask for much"
They'll come a time
When you'll understand
I'm not begging
I'm long overdue
To get some time with you

Be By My Side
02:23

They want to take my hands
They want to take my arms
Gonna put dimes on my eyes
Then sell my farm
I went so far off
Some called it hiding
Had to go get lost
To find what used to define me
Never knew a place
Always felt I should be somewhere else
Wasn't looking to be saved
Just needed a little bit of help
And you by my side
Had our vision of heaven
Caught that glance on Earth
For awhile all worries lifted
Stillness was in our hearts
Never needed no jackpot
Never had many joyless tears
Always seemed a little bit better
Than I was last year
With you by my side
They're gonna take my hands
They're gonna take my arms
Gonna put dimes on my eyes
And sell my farm

Front door opened to another morning rain
Headlines lying in a pool of mud
I want to head back to bed
Wait out the weeks for the sun
Needing you
I look at my body
It's not what it was
I fought responsibility and I lost
There's a look to my face
A gaze to my eye
I can't remember
You remind me to try
Come on and try
Though my mind's not so quick to recall all we've done
When you look at me, you make me feel so young
We stay up all night doing nothing
Only knowing what good doing nothing does
For us sometimes
Emptied, emptied, emptied
Then full as we dream
Are we fools to dream?
We're not foolish
While they make me feel the best I can be
Has come and gone
While they make me feel all future wars
Have been waged and won
They make me ask, has tomorrow passed?
Is it already done?
Then you look at me
You make me feel so young

Won't someone please turn this song off?
Oh no no, keep it on, keep it on
This theme for the finest of dreams
For the finest of memories
But they're behind a dark door with the saddest creak
To see them now, I've got turn the blackest key
Hope I never forget it
Never forget that melody
It was a Sunday's drive to the shore
A song overhead in a convenience store
We got a couple of beers for sunburnt shoulders
She got a left arm tan
Mine on the right
Wanted to call in sick and stop for the night
In a cheap motel
Then the next day we'd switch sides
Oh I can't stand it
I turn the key and say goodbye
I want to remember every eyelash, every wink
Oh memory, you're so cruel memory
Hope I never forget it, never forget that memory
I know life ain't fair but it shouldn't cheat

The One You Need
03:51
|
|||
Heard it's been hard for you lately
It hurts me deep inside
To know you're alone, they've all gone home
The ones you've always relied
I may not always be on time
But I've always been true
I spent my whole life wandering
But I'll always wander back to you
I'm not the one that you want
Not the one you aim to please
May not be the one you love
But I'm the one you need
Been awhile since I've been around
I hope you understand
What I got ain't much
But I'll give you all I can
I got no change in my pockets
No dollar bills in the bank
My car's not much for pleasure driving
But there's a little bit left in the tank
I'm not the one that you want
Not the one you aim to please
May not be the one you love
But I'm the one you need
There's plenty out there faster
They're so fast to tell you I'm slow
I never thought it much mattered
But what the hell do I know
Except there's none now better
None more that'll do you more right
All I ask is you give me one chance
To give you my best tonight
I'm not the one that you want
Not the one you aim to please
May not be the one you love
But I'm the one you need

Head In Hand
03:35
|
|||
Put your head in my hand
Really let it rest
Let me bear your shoulder
And the weight of your neck
Close your eyes
Let the worry go
Don't try to explain to me
What I already know
Make this empty space
A home for you
Head on my lap
Looking down to the floor
Don't think about it anymore
Don't try and hear a call
Or look for some meaning
Take a moment from a world
Too narrow for breathing
Make this empty space
A home for you
With your head in my hand
Thumb on your cheek
You don't have to be weak or strong
You don't have to be anything at all
One deep breath
Let it sooth you
With your head in my hand
Let me be of use
Make this empty space
A home for you

All Night Naked Eyes
03:21
|

Saw you, I can’t forget
Green sweater, blue jeans ripped
Left your number in my hand
Gave me room in your bed
Knocked silly, sideways and down
You picked me up then turned me around
Seemed a shame to waste your time on me
All night naked eyes
All the lights on you
Engaged on an Interstate
So many miles will have to wait
Fading eyes, falling skies
Sing with me, keep me awake
You’re the one that I want
You electrify
All night naked eyes
All the light on you
You’re the one that I want
You’re the one that I want

How her mouth moves a little whenever she writes
Or when she puts her fingers in her front pockets, casual-like
Or shaking hands with every fabric in the department store
I fell in love a little more
The way she squints before turning out the lights
Or the pictures where she seems to be saying to me, “Surprise!”
Sometime I catch her singing on the other side of the door
Then I fall in love a little more
Didn’t look for better
Didn’t look for better
Could’ve looked for better
When I shrunk her favorite sweater
She comes in for a hug on her tippy toes
Her head starts bobbing to Roy Orbison
Thought by now maybe I’d’ve gotten bored
But I fell and fell in love
