LYRICS
I clipped my own wings
And broke two strings
Ready for takeoff but crash-landed into a feeling
Of doubt and duality
As blurry as one can be
Followed my instincts got rewarded with nobody
As crushed as the ice in your Moscow mule
Heart torn apart and such a fool
Oh what a fool…
I should have known that somehow tonight
The light would be dimmed and
I would go dark
And over the rim of one last glass
With my heart already broken once
Left with no one to choose, not a chance
Lights out
On another drunken night
Stumbling along the way the roof calls out my name
And from way up high
My thoughts seem to catch fire
Somehow the latch was lifted on everything I had kept locked away
As crushed as the ice in your Moscow mule
Heart torn apart and such a fool
Oh what a fool
I should have known right from the start
The light would be dimmed and
I would go dark
And over the rim of one last glass
Right there in front of me all along
The truth is I just couldn't see where I went wrong
Faded as a photograph
In the corner of a room
That the sun would have caressed too much
And I was asking for the moon
I broke two strings
And clipped my own wings
Ready for takeoff but crash landed into
A feeling

The Extra Mile

LYRICS
Today’s a bad day
He called and I didn’t know what to say
Everything felt kind of different
And I knew he’d be distant
But I thought I’d stay
On the line for a while
Ready to go the extra mile
Just to make sure that we’re okay
Even though nothing will ever be the same from today
And who could have known we’d find ourselves in this moment
With a broken engagement
As two misfit pieces trying to glue back together
A promised future
Should I hide your photographs?
Flip them around so you don’t see me laugh
With someone who feels nothing like you
Whose hands won't keep me warm the way yours used to
And I’ve changed your name again
On my phone cause I just couldn’t stand
To see “baby” pop up on my screen
When “baby”, how could we go and ruin everything?
Oh and I dragged the nights as long as I could while you were gone
Misunderstood and alone
But the countdown has started
And our time has ended
And who could have known we’d find ourselves in this moment
With a broken engagement
As two misfit pieces trying to glue back together
A promised future
Who could've known we'd find ourselves in this moment?

Tenderly, Remember Me

Tell me when I’m old and grey
When in my mind you’re getting hazy
Will loneliness still hold the best of me
Will I be lost in my own way
And have given up our memories, forgotten all that makes me, me
Step by step I walk along this track
Will I ever make it back ?
Find a way to push back this night
Put them in a bottle those little pieces that made me whole
Keep them under lock and key
So I won’t lose sight of who I used to be
What used to be clear as day
I can feel it fading slowly
Like stars in a galaxy
The sweet music of your name
The lines of your body, the idea of you with me
Step by step I walk along this track
Am I ever making it back ?
Find a way to push back this night
Put them in a bottle those little pieces that made me whole
Keep them under lock and key
So I won’t lose sight of who I used to be
Tenderly, remember me
We were so much more than a fragment of history
Tell me there’s still room in your heart
For the little things you loved right from the start…
Put them in a bottle those little pieces that made me whole
Keep them under lock and key
So I won’t lose sight of who we used to be

LYRICS
The leaves are turning a different shade of red
The nights are longer for each morning I dread
And I know it by heart
This feeling that everything is falling apart
Nothing ever happens without reason or sense
And no matter how hard we try
We still have to say goodbye
I know I told you I’d be yours forevermore
But life had plans for you and I to leave this shore
How could we grow apart?
We thought we were destined to be from the start
Nothing ever happens without reason or sense
And no matter how hard we try
We still have to say goodbye
Goodbye
