Station Stops

Every Good Thing

 

What's the chance we're driving down the wrong way

Impressive times, pleasing crowds, soaking in the praise

Ladder's there climb up on

Touching stars rise above

Money thing pulled me in

What it took just to win

I feel like you woke me from losing 

 

Everything I walked away from can't be analyzed 

All life changing promises not quite as advertised

Everything - it hit me right between the eyes

Every good thing is what I feel when I know you're on my side

 

Ran up to the bullets edge at close range

I fell right down I felt my heart begging for a change

Choice is real in your mind

Love might leave behind

Someone makes you so alive

No one wins this over-drive

I feel like you woke me from losing

 

Oh would you stay

If I promise I'll change

She   

 

She likes to focus the right lens on still life 

Her friends pose to capture the good times

She dresses down she won't be caught pretentious 

She'll steal your heart, her spirit, relentless

Daughter, friend and sister

She, was just out here spending the day

She, seemed to walked away right into the gray 

 

In your report write, she's always on time

Always prepared, so there's a really big sign 

Our plans today were locked down that's for sure

Investigate I can't stand to lose her 

Daughter friend and sister

What if there was a misdeed

She was misled, in times of distrust

Who is to blame for my love to no longer be with us

 

Daughter friend and sister 

laughing in this picture, I already miss her

She, was just out here spending the day

She, seemed to walked away right into the gray

 

She, was just out here spending the day

She, seemed to walked away right into the gray

She, appeared like a flower right out of the sun rays

She, right into my arms to meet me half way

She, an Ansel-like shot it caused her delays

Until We Meet Again

 

You don't have to breath a word

The inspiration in your soul

It might be 

Dying of thirst

Nothing is forever

Everything is changing

It's a new page  

Where nothing is rehearsed  

 

Sometimes we leave the ones we love

Take care, I'll see you, who knows when

Remember to say I love you, hold a lovely thought 

Until we meet again

 

Watching from the curb side, 

Feeling empty in the moment

Like a house left abandoned

Just short of smashed

You always live life differently

Quick to change your destiny

And I'll miss you every minute

That is passed

This Place 

 

Thick, and thin, a best friend, I remember

Sat with me, in the backseat and listened

I rant at the worst times 

you stood with me, then everything turned cold

 

Change in course, just a space in time

Ever changing maybe it's sign

We're not in the end, we're at the end of this place

 

There's a break in yourself, when evil wins over

You think, you won but you've lost yourself

And for a while regret inside

Seems beyond repair

 

Places gone, where you once belonged

Wars are won by hero's who turn it around

We're not in the end, we're at the end of this place

Fade or go beyond

In The Future

 

I think I'll stick around 

With all my friends without my worries

Let those hassles fade to an end

And for a while, I'll get my way

All those bones comes back one day

Standing behind you inside the mirror

A life of deeds scattered everywhere

 

There will be another chance to win in the future

And every last hand we're all sure going to play

 

Experts plan on how

To make good things appear like the great magician

Every good thing disappears in the end

Although I might want to play

I think I'll be on my way

The journey's addictive, like the open air

A welcome road to drive anywhere

 

They say another good chance to win in the future

There'll be another good chance to win in the future

And every last hand we're all sure going to play

Well it's hard to see what lives in the future

 

There was a time when life left the fire on

In a cabin tucked in the hills

Where the streams and snow made so much sense

 

looking far

in the future

Where will we be

in the future

in the future
