Go, finding your way back home
Tell your emotion when to let go
You already know when you’re full
Go, it’s starting to take it’s toll
Halfway to midnight, head in a hole
buried against the shore
Don’t let your innocence fade
You and I we’re all shapes
Everyone is not the same
You and I, we know the way
We gotta go, grow
Go, fighting to take control
You don’t have to slam your head on the door
You already know the cure
Don’t let your innocence fade
You and I, we’re all shapes
Everyone is not the same
You and I, we know the way
We gotta go, grow
I don’t mind
If you leave
I just lied
This is destroying me
holding tight
I can hardly breathe
Holding out hope for the next life x 2
All the shapes in the circle
Ordinary like me in all the same ways
All the shapes in the circle
Ordinary like me in all the same ways
You and I, we’re all shapes
Everyone is not the same
You and I, we know the way
We gotta go, grow
I don’t mind
If you leave
I just lied
This is destroying me
holding tight
I can hardly breathe
holding out hope for the next life x 3

I’m older now
Both feet on the ground
I’m better now
If only for today
I’m holding out
So you might hear me say
I’m having trouble letting you go
Waiting for you to show
Even though you're already gone
Find that I am still hanging on
Having trouble letting you go
In a way that I allow
Now you’re gone
It won’t be the same
We’re holding on
So we won’t feel the pain
Having trouble letting you go
Waiting for you to show
Even though you're already gone
Find that I am still hanging on
Having trouble letting you go
In a way that I allow
Having trouble letting you go
Waiting for you to show
Even though you're already gone
I find that I am still hanging on
Having trouble letting you go
In a way that I allow

I'm Here to Help

Show me where I want to be
Show me where I want to set my feet
Build a life and play my part
Show me where to go where the rain might start
To fill me up to full
Help me find a way, tryin’ to fix my hull
Realize and unlock my fate
Show me where to go and what to say
Now, you may never notice
But I am always with you
I will be your guide
You’ll unlock your purpose
And we’ll both bear witness
You and me combine
You may never notice
But I’m always with you
I will be your guide
You’ll unlock your purpose
And we’ll both bear witness
You and me combine
Show me where I want to go
Put a secret inside my heart
I will wrap myself
Over me and you
Are you love, or are you pain
Or everything in-between
I will align my source
Return again, with you
You may never notice
But I am always with you
I will be your guide
You’ll unlock your purpose
And we’ll both bear witness
You and me combine

Weaned by faith
But am I too, bad
Could I be the one if I had to?
I want to erase my pain in the light
And build my unrest like
Holy rows in my defense
Where am I going and what am I doing about this
Once you realize, this is a no brainer
You may bow down when you’re the singer
Hold my hand this is your land to be the man
How many weeks in the mountain did I sleep
Once you realize this is your turn
They're gonna bring you forth, they’re gonna be unlearned
Pull you in to be their sun
Be a lightning rage and a wave that awaits love
Like holiness, I want to break bread and fists,
have all my rights and my breath
And now you see where my restitution sits
Caught in the place you don't like
Pull me into your reason and that way
You won't be alone when the night fades
down, down, it's coming down
It’s coming down, down, down, it’s coming down
Pulled by weight
I alone can endure in my cell
I would make you a home if you want me to
But I would be a liar if I told you the streets
were the lines that I crossed when I rushed through the race
It’s a photographic world, they’re going to make you talk
show all your ways and your thoughts
How will I win, the howling wind, stolen sins, it breaks me down
but I could raise you up, I could have your back,
I could make you whole when your starting to lack
When your weak can hardly speak,
You’re bones in my bed
That’s when I’ll turn over the hours and give you the power
to rise, pull you up, make you light, show you where I resign
Every now and then, they’ll call you in, when the body arrests
And now you realize it for yourself
I can’t tell you where to go or what to sell
I don’t know if i’m reading your mind
But hold me close and help me erase mine
Down, down, it's coming down, down, it's coming down x3
If we build this house out of stone,
it becomes a home and a place we are safe and sound
It becomes a place we are safe, and sound X2

When Your Ship Comes In
04:55

I don't want to be alone with you by my side
You decide to run away, to the truth, to the light
Doesn’t matter what we do, what we say, what we might
Never mind if we don’t mind, you’re the proof, you were right
Don't sleep
You're better awake
Heartbeat
Sudden delay
Hold me
If I'm in your way
When your ship comes in x2
All we are is lost at sea, in your wake, you remind us
You show me how to steady myself, through the pulse of your kindness
Everybody already knows, you're the best and the brightest
But I don't want to do the math, you're the plus, and the minus
Don't sleep
You're better awake
Heartbeat
Sudden delay
Hold me
If I'm in your way
When your ship comes in x2
I want to make my way
I want to live
What does survival mean?
How do we keep ourselves awake?

Aweigh

The weight
Will hold you down and tear you to pieces
Maybe now you know there's a method
Letting you know you might need to lessen
The weight
A foreign power tells you to weaken
Maybe now you know your the weapon
Many will talk but no one will listen
One of a kind love
One of a kind, you take me away
You got a mountain
You’ve gotta climb it
Show me no mercy here
I gotta face my fear
Over and over
Throw me a bone
Bitter the night that fades
Only to lead you to light your weary way
The Lord has come to test my faith
Do you love me?
You and I you know we can beat this
Ordinary moment of weakness
You’re one of a kind you know your my sweetness
One of a kind love
One of a kind, you take me away
You got a mountain
You’ve gotta climb it
Show me no mercy here
I gotta face my fear
Over and over
Throw me a bone
Bitter the night that fades
Only to lead you to light your weary way
The Lord has come to test my faith
Do you love me?
You and I you know we can beat this
Ordinary moment of weakness
You’re one of a kind, you know your my sweetness
One of a kind love
One of a kind, you take me away
If you hold me back
Where I can’t be
Give me a reason
Don’t give me these
Empty words
Or hollow dreams
Give me a reason
And we will be
Aweigh x3

Real loss of adventure
Might test a man
Turn the pages of your life
You will find it in the end
I'm not one to wander, I like the comfort of my home
But I would mind if you squander
All that you are
Read this look on my face
Are you ready to be calm and steady?
We’re gonna draft you on this race
Are you ready to be calm and steady?
We're gonna win this, I want you to know
I'm letting you go
The best way I know
Go with the flow
Realize they’ll be danger
Hidden in the folds
Utilize your best defense
But don't forget what you've been told
I'm not one to argue, I wouldn’t fake like I know
And I would fight if I had to
Keep you in line
Read this look on my face
Are you ready to be calm and steady?
We’re gonna draft you on this race
Are you ready to be calm and steady?
We're gonna win this, I want you to know
I'm letting you go
The best way I know
Go with flow

Better to Replace
03:50

You and me
We’re the setting sun
We build a bridge
Let her run
To the very last falling apart x2
You and me
We come undone
We build a bridge
Let her run
To the very last falling apart x2
I don’t want a battle with you
Never really wanted to let you down
Through our losses I have found
It’s better to replace than let you go
You and me
We’re part of the sum
We build a bridge
Let her run
To the very last falling apart x2
I don’t want a battle with you
Never really wanted to let you down
Through our losses I have found
It’s better to replace than let you go
Than let you go x3
