1Long Way Down
I thought that you were sent from heaven You had me floating on a cloud But tonight my sky is falling And it’s a long way down It’s a long way down Now you can’t lie ‘cause boy I caught you You can’t deny you been messing around Where you're going oh there ain’t no ice water And it’s a long way down it’s a long way down So far down that it ain’t got a bottom Thought you had wings but I guess you ain’t got em Fallen angel don’t look now Ohhhhhhhh it’s a long way down Don’t look to me to be your savior We both know where your soul is bound Headed south just like the love you gave me And It’s a long way down oh it’s a long way down Yeah so far down that it ain’t got a bottom Thought you had wings but I guess you ain’t got em Fallen angel don’t look now Ohhhhhh it’s a long way down Yeah so far down that it ain’t got a bottom Thought you had wings but I guess you ain’t got em Fallen angel don’t look now Oh it’s a long way down So far down that it ain’t got a bottom Thought you had wings but I guess you ain’t got em Fallen angel don’t look now Ohhhhh It’s a long way down It’s a long way down yeah

2Marquee Sign
I wish you were a pack of cigarettes ‘Cause you would've come with a warning Before I let you steal my breath I woulda known how bad you were for me Some people lie Some people trust Some people hide What they’re made of If you woulda been lit up like a marquee sign Coulda saved myself some wasted time From the minute I found you If it'd been written out in black and white Maybe then I would've told my mind Not to get wrapped around you I should've known it from the start You were only here to break my heart If you had just been tequila I would've known when to stop Would've been so easy to leave ya Never even would've taken a shot But people lie and people trust And people hide What they’re made of If you woulda been lit up like a marquee sign Coulda saved myself some wasted time From the minute I found you If it'd been written out in black and white Maybe then I would've told my mind Not to get wrapped around you I should've known it from the start You were only here to break my heart If I could've seen right through ya Known ya before I knew ya If you woulda been lit up like a marquee sign Coulda saved myself some wasted time From the minute I found you If it'd been written out in black and white Maybe then I would've told my mind Not to get wrapped around you I should've known it from the start You were only here to break my heart Yeah you were only here to break my heart

3Diving In Deep
You rest upon my soul And mind like imprints on a wave That just keep rolling in the ocean Out into the night You hold me in my dreams Just like a mother holds a child Wrapped in a blanket Underneath a starry sky And I wanna know ya Until there are no secrets left to keep If all is fair in love and war The consequence I will ignore ‘Cause this time I’m diving deep Yeah pretty darling I’m diving deep Well you’re the truth that I confess The only song that I request That makes my body move from side to side So stop the clock And shoot the moon ‘Cause every moment without you In my opinion is just a waste of time And I wanna know ya Until there are no secrets left to keep If all is fair in love and war The consequence I will ignore ‘Cause this time I’m diving deep Yeah pretty darling I’m diving deep I’m past the point of turnin’ back Not thinking ‘bout the aftermath I’m diving, I’m diving in yeah And I wanna know ya Until there are no secrets left to keep If all is fair in love and war The consequence I will ignore ‘Cause this time I’m diving deep Yeah pretty darling I’m diving deep

6Rain and Fire
Normally I don’t cross the line like this I hope I’m not coming off self-righteous You only met me tonight Feel free to stop me any time But if it was me I’d put your heart on a mantel Protect you from what you’re not strong enough to handle I’d never leave ‘til the tears are dry I’m there for you tonight And every other night ‘Cause baby I know Love’s just a pattern of ups and downs You need someone who wants To keep you safe and sound Someone who won’t get tired Through the rain and fire Baby I know I won’t ever give the run around I’ll be the one that’s always gonna stand the ground Promise I won’t get tired Through the rain and fire Normally I wouldn’t carry on with you But she’s nowhere to be found in the picture I see the sad in your eyes But feel free to stop me any time But if it was me I’d hold your heart in a glass case Instead she got you feeling like you’re in last place Let me stay ‘til the tears are dry I’m here for you tonight And every other night ‘Cause baby I know Love’s just a pattern of ups and downs You need someone who wants To keep you safe and sound Someone who won’t get tired Through the rain and fire Baby I know I won’t ever give the run around I’ll be the one that’s always gonna stand the ground Promise I won’t get tired Through the rain and fire Through the rain and fire It’s amazing how I can look in your eyes And tell that you haven’t been satisfied For a long time If she just can’t deliver I can do it better Let me summarize It’s amazing that we only met tonight And I don’t mean to bother But you seem like an angel That’s longing to be free tonight I’ll be your alibi Baby I know Love’s just a pattern of ups and downs You need someone who wants To keep you safe and sound Someone who won’t get tired Through the rain and fire Baby I know I won’t ever give the run around I’ll be the one that’s always gonna stand the ground Promise I won’t get tired Through the rain and fire Through the rain and fire

7Night Light
Even when it’s dark I never worry that you won’t find me I can be alone and still see you burning so brightly You chase away the bad Cutting through the black Don't you know That you’re my night light You kill the shadows The ones I can’t fight When dark is all that I can see Will you be my night light Shine for me I used to lay awake thinking there were monsters under my bed Now I’m looking up counting stars on the ceiling instead And if they ever go out I'll be safe and sound Don't you know That you’re my night light You kill the shadows The ones I can’t fight When dark is all that I can see Will you be my night light Shine for me Shine for me You chase away the bad Cutting through the black Don't you know That you’re my night light You kill the shadows The ones I can’t fight When dark is all that I can see Will you be my night light Shine for me Will you be my night light Shine for me

11Words
Words like hey and nice to meet you Got us walkin’ down the street to grab a drink Words like tell me ‘bout your family Got us fallin’ got us landin’ in a dream Oh and words took us all the way from kissin’ In a parkin’ lot to missin’ everything we used to be Just say the words and I’ll be gone Turn our perfect lines into another sad song I won’t keep you here Keep holdin’ on to what we were Just say the words Words well they sure are confusin’ Like when we started usin’ them Just bullets in a fight Oh and words like did you ever love me Well they pushed you and they shoved me To the edge of goodbye Just say the words and I’ll be gone Turn our perfect lines into another sad song I won’t keep you here Keep holdin’ on to what we were Just say the words Like bitter poison drippin’ off your tongue Pull the thread and watch the story come undone Just say the words and I’ll be gone Turn our perfect lines into another sad song I won’t keep you here Keep holdin’ on to what we were Just say the words Maybe words like I’m sorry and I need you Would’ve been enough to keep you from walkin’ out Is it too late to say ‘em now

13Letting You Go
Wasn’t I brushing the hair from your face Wasn’t I just drying your tears and singing you sweet dreams at night Seems like it was just yesterday Suddenly you’re seventeen and it’s just 18 months ‘til goodbye I’d rather deny it God knows I’d try if I could keep you here at home, but I know Loving you is holding you Lifting you up Planting the seeds and then watching you grow Even though it’s hard to do It’s letting you fall And giving you wings so you fly on your own ‘cause part of loving you is letting you go All of your life I’ve prepared you to leave Now that little boy’s all grown up and it’s too late for changing my mind But nobody ever warned me That the years go too fast and there’s just no pressing rewind ‘Cause time is a liar, wish I could set the clock on fire turn it back to yesterday Oh but it just keeps tickin’ away Loving you is holding you Lifting you up Planting the seeds and then watching you grow Even though it’s hard to do It’s letting you fall And giving you wings so you fly on your own Part of loving you is letting you go No matter how I wanna make you stay You were also born to fly away Loving you is holding you Lifting you up Planting the seeds and then watching you grow Even though it’s hard to do It’s letting you fall And giving you wings so you fly on your own Part of loving you is letting you go Letting you go

I woke up late today and I still feel the sting of the pain But I brushed my teeth anyway Got dressed through the mess and put a smile on my face I got a little bit stronger Riding in the car to work and I'm Trying to ignore the hurt so I Turned on the radio Stupid song made me think of you I listened to it for minute But then I changed it I'm getting a little bit stronger Just a little bit stronger And I'm done hoping That we could work it out I'm done with how it feels Spinning my wheels And letting you drag my heart around And, oh, I'm done thinking That you could ever change I know my heart will never be the same But I'm telling myself I'll be okay Even on my weakest days I get a little bit stronger It doesn't happen overnight but you Turn around and a month's gone by And you realize you haven't cried I'm not giving you an hour or a second or another minute longer I’m busy getting stronger And I'm done hoping That we could work it out I'm done with how it feels Spinning my wheels And letting you drag my heart around And, oh, I'm done thinking That you could ever change I know my heart will never be the same But I'm telling myself I'll be okay Even on my weakest days I get a little bit stronger I get a little bit stronger I’m getting along without you baby I'm better off without you baby How does it feel without me baby I'm getting stronger without you baby And I'm done hoping that we could work this out I'm done with how it feels Spinning my wheels And letting you drag my heart around And, oh, I'm done thinking That you could ever change I know my heart will never be the same But I'm telling myself I'll be okay Even on my weakest days I get a little bit stronger I get a little bit stronger yeah And just a little bit stronger yeah Oh yeah Just a little bit Just a little bit Just a little bit stronger yeah
