Bend, Don't Break

I woke up and we were fine
The same old things were on my mind
My attention strayed from you
The things we’re going through
Might’ve passed me by
Like a drifter I ignore
The second chances you afford
Now I’m running out of time
To take control of my life
Your foot is out the door
I want you to know it’s okay
We bend, but we don’t break
Woman I’ve been known to come around
And fix my mistakes
So see if I can change your mind
Every word is a mistake
I haven’t changed my selfish ways
You believe I’m using you
Just to satisfy this ache
I put myself to shame
I want you to know it’s okay
We bend, but we don’t break
Woman I’ve been known to come around
And fix my mistakes
So see if I can change your mind
All these things that I’ve done
Left us nowhere to turn
Can’t run from this
It’s gonna take work
For what it’s worth
I want you to know it’s okay
We bend, but we don’t break
I want you to know it’s okay
We bend, but we don’t break
I want you to know it’s okay
We bend, but we don’t break
Woman I’ve been known to come around
And fix my mistakes
So see if I can change your mind
Cause we bend, but we don’t break
Cause we bend, but we don’t break

Vagabond

And now we’re falling through
And I’m drinking for two
Like a vagabond out on the road
Betraying my roots
And I get stronger and stronger
Each mile I run for you
And this cigarette won’t change the fact that
I’m on fire for you
You drank the muddy waters
I climbed up just to see
You tried to put out fire
With all this gasoline
I let you do your thing and
Be another gypsy soul
Ma ma my, ma ma my
Just be my home
And now you can’t pretend
Up around the bend
It’s all smooth sailing
We ain’t gotta deal with my friend
But I’m a loner I told you
This heart needs to make amends
But these issues don’t mean shit
If you ain’t even here in the end
You drank the muddy waters
I climbed up just to see
You tried to put out fire
With all this gasoline
I let you do your thing and
Be another gypsy soul
Ma ma my, ma ma my
Just be my home
Higher and higher
I feel this fire burning higher and higher
You got the power to inspire my to rise up
I feel it burning
You drank the muddy waters
I climbed up just to see
You tried to put out fire
With all this gasoline
I let you do your thing and
Be another gypsy soul
Ma ma my, ma ma my
Just be my home

Candlelight

Silly woman, what will it take
To make you remember that breathless elation?
We’ve grown apart and I can
Tell you why
We waited too long to feed this
Dying fire
So, come closer
I’ve been looking forward to you
There ain’t no reason to hide
Come closer
I’ve been waiting all night
To love you by candlelight
The innocence, just wondering how far we’d go
Now the nights blur together without us knowing
In our youth we took our
Precious time
When you get home tonight, I promise
Your body will shine
So, come closer
I’ve been looking forward to you
There ain’t no reason to hide
Come closer
I’ve been waiting all night
To love you by candlelight
Don’t you miss those restless nights?
The look in your eyes when you call my name
I never imagined we’d end up this way
But I need you to stay
I need you to stay
So, come closer
I’ve been looking forward to you
There ain’t no reason to hide
Come closer
I’ve been waiting all night
To love you by candlelight

New Life

I got a new life waiting
On the other side
Got my hand on your back, singing
Come on take a ride with me
We only make it by the light of day
Cause I got a new life waiting
Not some 9 to 5
Like all my coworkers say, come on let’s
Make it to Friday night
That really how you gonna live your life?
You wanna grow old?
So many years I spent paying the toll
But this can’t be the answer
Break out of your shell
All of these struggles sitting under my belt
But they ain’t gonna weigh me down
I’m over the pain
Don’t show me yesterday
Burning every bridge
That I got lost on
My eyes on the road
No matter where we go
I don’t mind killing time
Cause I got a new life waiting
On the other side
Got my hand on your back, singing
Come on take a ride with me
We only make it by the light of day
Cause I got a new life waiting
Not some 9 to 5
Like all my coworkers say, come on let’s
Make it to Friday night
That really how you gonna live your life?
I’m over the pain
Don’t show me yesterday
Burning every bridge
That I got lost on
My eyes on the road
No matter where we go
I don’t mind killing time
Cause I got a new life
Yeah I got a new life
And I miss old America
Suburban queens, all these political kings
What does it mean?
Go for broke
Let’s dive on in
Cause this is all we really got in the end
I got a new life waiting
On the other side
Got my hand on your back, singing
Come on take a ride with me
We only make it by the light
