Run Through the Flames

I won’t promise much,
I don’t promise easily
No I don’t have the touch
I can’t tell you how it’s gonna be
But I’m sure as the sunrise
Fierce as the light
I can’t stand that kid that doesn’t treat you right
And I don’t wanna cause no trouble
But I’ve seen the way you have to
Lock your doors and frown
And a birdie told me that
You’ve been looking around
You didn’t like what you found
So I
I’ll walk through the fire
Yes, I’ll run through the flames
You don’t need a provider
But could I give you my name?
Skipping through the sunshine
Bending with the breeze
Tossing you up
‘Til you’re soaring through the trees
One part wonder
Two parts trust
We’ll take the bad memories
And kick ‘em to the dust
And I don’t wanna cause no trouble
But you could be laughing loud
Instead of crying out
And your best friend told me that
You’ve been looking at me
And you like what you see
We’ll I’ve made my case
I’ve sang it loud
For a soul that doesn’t promise much,
It’s practically a vow
So if you wanna chase the clouds with me
And stumble as we go
Won’t you let me know?

Charm for Life

You got gold on your face
But the festival’s over
Dust in your eyes
Looking up at the stars
Pulling petals from the sky
Like you’re ringing the church bells
Dance with me a little while
Ooh, you got a charm for life
And I want it
Catching sunlight in your hand
As a gift to your shadow
Makin’ speeches to the birds
You can’t help but laugh
And I remember now
Why I fell for a singer
Sing with me a little while
We go tumbling on the grass
While I’m chasing you, laughing
Gasping for breath, cause you’re running on empty pockets of my jeans filling up with your fingers
Lay with me a little while

All In, Full Out

I need you all in
Or full out
Don’t leave me
Halfway across the world
Looking pretty tired with no sleep
Driving in a stake with a clean sweep
You got me looking pretty tired with no sleep
You’re driving in a stake with a clean sweep
But you’re hanging up the phone
And it’s too deep to pull out
We should be
Looking at a map with no plans
Driving down the highway with no hands
Hanging to each other with no intent to pull over
Skating on ice when I see you
Slipping on a crack and I fall through
I’m skating on ice when I see you
I’m slipping on a crack and I fall through
I’m washing up, coughing up,
But dreaming up a new life for us two
Where we’re just
Skating by the sunset with warm waves
Slipping into bed with a clean shave
Wash you up, dry you down, spin you around
If you gave up on the past
Promise me at last you’re all in
Or full our
Don’t leave me
Halfway across the world
‘Cause if you do
I’ll turn my chips in
and cash out
And leave you halfway across the world

Rose at Your Door
05:57

I won’t tell you I’ll love you forever
I can’t tell you the skies will stay blue
I won’t put up a fight
When dusk takes the light
But I’ll save the truth to you
No, the moon won’t keep shining forever
The mist must dissolve into dew
There’s no rose at your door
But you can be sure
There’s nothing but truth for you
‘Cause if it don’t work out
I won’t keep holding on
You’re a beautiful dreamer I’ve found
But what if you’re gone?
What if you’re lost in the clouds?
What if you wander?
Will you build me an orchard?
Or will we fall apart?
Will you keep holding on?
What if your mind goes?
What if you can’t forget?
Could you let go?
Will you promise me that?
So I hope I won’t find you mistaken
Lied to, tired, and confused
With my hand on your hips
Goodbye on the lips
That is my truth to you
Though the moon won’t keep shining forever
The sun might steal back into view
There’s no rose at your door
But you can be sure
I gave the truth to you
There’s nothing but truth for you
There’ll always be truth for you

Dazzled by Diamonds
05:25

I wanted a spark
Didn’t need some peace
Didn’t need some shelter
Didn’t need a relief
I wanted a smile I could carry with me
You could be that smile for me
I wanted a jewel
I wanted for keeps
I gambled with trust and fell into the deep
Dazzled by diamonds
I let myself leap
You could be that jewel for me
You could be that jewel for me
You wanted a prince
You wanted a priest
In the eyes of the people that knew you the least
I’m better than this
But what can I do
But think about you
Dream about you
Make my plans without you
Build a life without you
I wanted to shake
You gave me a nod
I wept like a man
But you needed a god
You needed a mountain to climb upon
I was picking up clues on the ground
Looking for a jewel
Swam around and bit on the lure coming down
Hooking like a cruel uppercut to the mouth of a fool
Just kicking in a whirlpool

Fleur

If I gave you a call
If I sent you a text
What would I become?
Where would we go next?
So far from our best
Nights in New Orleans
Tip-toe through the park
Fleur-de-lis on the gates
Pure release in the park and you
Always laughing when we’re through
Dazed by the darkness
Struck by the stars
Moved by the music of you in my arms
And ooh
I’d do anything to keep you
And you
You’d do anything to keep me away
If I stepped outside
Could I follow you then?
If I stepped out of my mind
Could I smile again?
This love will never end
But you won’t write me back
You won’t answer the phone
I’ll throw rocks at your door
‘Til you don’t feel alone anymore
‘Til you’re crying out loud with fear
We lock eyes through the window
My fist breaks the glass and then
Maybe we can talk again

More Than Friends
06:35
|

In a crowd
You lift your finger
Part the shoulders
You come close
And now
You’re moving slowly
Speaking softly
You tap your toes
And say,
“Wanna come over?
I’ve got someone to forget
I don’t even know you
But we could be more than friends”
You said you don’t wanna go too far with me
And I said,
“Let’s go, c’mon, what’s the harm
when you know I scar just as easily?”
So you smiled and held me close
You bit me hard
So I could see
If I liked it
Then you could do it again
And if you liked it
Then we could be more than friends
Congratulations
You made a lover out of a dancer
So please just grant me this
One question unanswered
“Whatever happened to that person
that you tried to forget?”
You said,
“I made a record, I cried,
Then I hoped for the best
But tell me there’s a reason
For saving up and keeping
All these memories
That make you stop breathing
Make you spin and drown
Make you slip and fall
Leave you gaspin’ on the ground
Tell me there’s a reason
For keeping these dreams around”
Tell me
Give me your word
Swear on your name
You’re not the same
