[Verse 1]
No more letting my guard down
No more faith to no end
No more putting out fires for the liars
Who pretend they're my friends
No more saying I'm sorry
No more trying to prove
That I'm not the extra spare
You just don't know how to care
Like I do
[Chorus]
Oh, and I say it's not enough
To pretend that were golden, we're not
You show
[Verse 1]
No more letting my guard down
No more faith to no end
No more putting out fires for the liars
Who pretend they're my friends
No more saying I'm sorry
No more trying to prove
That I'm not the extra spare
You just don't know how to care
Like I do
[Chorus]
Oh, and I say it's not enough
To pretend that were golden, we're not
You showed me that behind your shine
There's rust
Oh, and I say it's not too late
To admit that you made a mistake
Time can erase, and I can place my trust
In you
[Verse 2]
So there's no going back now
So you've written me out
So it's time to cut ties, say goodbyes
Learn how to live without
No remedial treatment
There's no miracle cure
No forgiveness for your crime
I'll forget I called you mine
Someday I'm sure
[Chorus]
Oh, and I say it's not enough
To pretend that were golden, we're not
You showed me that behind your shine
There's rust
Oh, and I say it's not too late
To admit that you made a mistake
Time can erase, and I can place my trust
[Bridge]
Just like that old music box
I bought for you back in Austin
You left it in the rain one night
It never played the same
Rusted tines, corroded cogs
The dance is done, the music stopped
You left me in the rain that night
Hoping in vain
You broke me into pieces
Shattered my resolve
What's the use in fixing things
You never took care of?
I'll head back on the Highway
Take the road out west
Let the Sunset bring me closure
But I won't forget
[Chorus]
Oh, and I say it's not enough (it's not enough)
To pretend that were golden, we're not
You showed me that behind your shine
There's rust
Oh, and I say it's far too late
To admit that you made a mistake
(admit you made a mistake)
Time can erase, but I won't place my trust
In you

Fair skies for the Bay Area
High today of 70 degrees for the City
Low tonight of 55
Currently 75 in San Jose
70 in Oakland
66 in San Francisco
[Verse 1]
Summer highway heat keep my windows down
I'd drive a thousand miles to hold you
Never felt a thing before you came around
I'd drive a thousand miles to know you care

[Verse 1]
Summer highway heat keep my windows down
I'd drive a thousand miles to hold you
Never felt a thing before you came around
I'd drive a thousand miles to know you care
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Like I do
Share this with me
What I find in you
Makes me believe
[Chorus]
That someday soon the world will find some room
For me and you to build a life like lovers do
You and me believe so differently
But darling boy, you alone can bring me joy
[Verse 2]
Keep it in my mind, set the words to song
Perform it for the moonlight till the dawn
Suddenly I find the old story's wrong
Love doesn't take a moment—the journey is long
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And with you
The road winds through clouds
Take in this view
Take in the sound
[Chorus]
Of someday soon the world will find some room
For me and you to build a life like lovers do
You and me believe so differently
But darling boy, you alone can bring me joy
[Verse 3]
Summer highway heat leads me to the coast
I never thought I needed, but I need you the most
I'll bring the rain if you'll raise a toast
The universe is happier and more than I hoped
[Pre-Chorus 3]
It to be
Your love in my hands
All at once I can see
And I understand
[Bridge]
And if they say my heart needs reinvention
I'll shrug it off without contention
All my life and all inside
Begins and ends with me by your side
I have no qualms nor inner turmoil
My heart is calm, my blood don't boil
Anymore
It's you that I adore
And we'll be okay
We can reach that day
But until the way is made
We'll say
[Chorus]
Someday soon the world will find some room
For me and you to build a life like lovers do
You and me believe so differently
But darling boy, you alone can bring me joy
[Outro]
And the joy, it grows
And the heavens know
That someday soon we'll show
The ones we'll have to have and to hold
[Verse 1]
If I can't have love
Let me have song
I need something to believe in
When my better days are gone
I'll show you good
Restore your peace
Somehow make you see the beautiful
And hide the worst of me
[Chorus]
Take time to understand
I'm passing like a train
I'm made of insubstantial promises
Constellations gone unnamed
I'm losing sleep on foolish
[Verse 1]
If I can't have love
Let me have song
I need something to believe in
When my better days are gone
I'll show you good
Restore your peace
Somehow make you see the beautiful
And hide the worst of me
[Chorus]
Take time to understand
I'm passing like a train
I'm made of insubstantial promises
Constellations gone unnamed
I'm losing sleep on foolish dreams
Crossing lines I couldn't see
Please watch yourself 'round wishing wells
Still water hides what lies beneath
And don't look too deep
Don't look too deep
[Verse 2]
If my days were short
Would I have more drive
Does the summit feel much closer
Once you've lost your fear of heights
If eternal youth
Were a genuine thing
Would I squander my forever
Chasing other fantasies
[Chorus]
Take time to understand
I'm passing like a train
I'm made of insubstantial promises
Constellations gone unnamed
I'm losing sleep on foolish dreams
Crossing lines I couldn't see
Please watch yourself 'round wishing wells
Still water hides what lies beneath
And don't look too deep
Don't look too deep
[Bridge]
Oh
Make up your mind
Do you want power or to be kind
Keep
Oh
Keep the porch light on
Till it burns out
I'll be searching this little town
For truth or fiction
New religion
Find my solace
In the causeless
Make it better
With a letter
That I'll never
Deliver
Words won't fix what never worked
Love was never meant to hurt
[Chorus]
Take time to understand
I'm passing like a train
I'm made of insubstantial promises
Constellations gone unnamed
I'm losing sleep on foolish dreams
I'm crossing lines I couldn't see
Please watch yourself 'round wishing wells
You don't know what lies beneath
And don't look too deep
Don't look too deep
[Verse 1]
The sun sets through the fog
I can’t see much at all
But the golden light on your face
Steals my breath away
This scene feels like a movie
With unruly people moving
Through the dark, it’s unsettling
But babe you’re a blessing
To me
[Chorus 1]
Can you see me in the passing glare
Of the midnight traffic, my dear?
Can you hear me when the sound
[Verse 1]
The sun sets through the fog
I can’t see much at all
But the golden light on your face
Steals my breath away
This scene feels like a movie
With unruly people moving
Through the dark, it’s unsettling
But babe you’re a blessing
To me
[Chorus 1]
Can you see me in the passing glare
Of the midnight traffic, my dear?
Can you hear me when the sounds of the city
Drown out my songs to your ear?
Whenever you’re near
We’ll find paradise here
[Verse 2]
A rigid mountain town
Where there’s nobody around
Who believes in our story
And what you mean to me
Our kisses kept in secret
Like we’re Romeo and Juliet
But I know that ending
So let’s stop pretending
Break free
[Chorus 2]
Can you see me in the ghostly reflection
Of moonlight on crystalline snow?
Can you hear me when I whisper “I love you”
So none of the neighbors will know?
Whenever you’re near
We’ll find paradise here
[Bridge]
Be it mountains or valleys or miles of coast
In the jungles of concrete or general stores
I’ll make you the prime destination of mine
Who needs a vacation when you’re paradise?
Be it highways or chemtrails or winding dirt roads
So long as I’m with you wherever we go
Will be my favorite town
San Francisco or Yellowstone
Who needs a vacation
When you are my home sweet home?
[Chorus 3]
Can you see me in the cinnamon glow
Of the light spilling under our door?
Can you hear my promise
“I’ll love you forever
My darling, you’re all I adore”
Whenever you’re near
We’ll find paradise here
Whenever you’re near
We’ll find paradise here
[Verse 1]
Don't you forget I love you
It's the love I try to hide
But it's too real to pretend otherwise
When the dark doesn't hide your golden eyes
I'm trying not to fall
When it's all falling at my feet
I'm done watching the ceiling
When the sheep won't let me sleep
I'm cutting through the masking tape
From boxes in the hall
I'm watching stars alo
[Verse 1]
Don't you forget I love you
It's the love I try to hide
But it's too real to pretend otherwise
When the dark doesn't hide your golden eyes
I'm trying not to fall
When it's all falling at my feet
I'm done watching the ceiling
When the sheep won't let me sleep
I'm cutting through the masking tape
From boxes in the hall
I'm watching stars alone at night
And maybe one will fall
[Chorus]
Maybe
You'll come back to me
Maybe
You'll come back to me
[Verse 2]
Do you regret that moment
Picking apples in the rain
Knowing things won't be the same anymore
It's your tenderness inside I adore
Don't tell me not to hesitate
'Cause it's not up to you
If I move too slow it's on me
I've got a lot to lose
I'm packing up my sleeping bag
And heading out the door
There's criminals and Gabriels
Along the road before me
[Chorus]
Maybe
You'll come back to me
Maybe
You'll come back to me
[Bridge]
Don't you forget I love you
I showed you how I felt
Tryna chip away your shell
But maybe you're solid stone
Maybe I don't have a bone
To pick with you and that's alright
That's okay
I love you anyway
[Chorus]
And maybe
You'll come back to me
Maybe
You'll come back to me
[Outro]
Maybe
Maybe our love is gone for good
Maybe it never should have been
Maybe it won't
Maybe it won't
Maybe it never will come back to me
But maybe… maybe
[Verse 1]
I guess I took issue
From the moment he kissed you
Double cross my heart and hope to die
He promised you clover
You wrote me "it's over"
You sold your peace and spent all mine
[Chorus]
So don't say hello if you see me again
You left me for dead in the rubble
Elicit my world's insurmountable ruin
And go your merry way untroubled
[Verse 2]

[Verse 1]
I guess I took issue
From the moment he kissed you
Double cross my heart and hope to die
He promised you clover
You wrote me "it's over"
You sold your peace and spent all mine
[Chorus]
So don't say hello if you see me again
You left me for dead in the rubble
Elicit my world's insurmountable ruin
And go your merry way untroubled
[Verse 2]
I saw you in London
In the face of a gunman
Only yours was free of ashes
Accosted by memory
And the wish you were with me
Buff the rose tint off my glasses
[Chorus]
So don't say hello if you see me again
You left me for dead in the rubble
Elicit my world's insurmountable ruin
And go your merry way untroubled
[Post-Chorus]
Never mind my peace of mind
My wasted time, my boundary lines
I lost on you, my faithless kith and kin
I'd never faced this kind of rage
A Great War waged in love estranged
I lost to you, but earned my peace again
[Bridge]
Rest my soul, I'm lavender blue now
Without your insensible gray
Let the sun go down on me tonight
I won't miss the warmth of its rays
[Chorus]
Don't say hello if you see me again
You left me for dead in the rubble
Elicit my world's insurmountable ruin
And go your merry way untroubled
[Post-Chorus]
Never mind my peace of mind
My wasted time, my boundary lines
I lost on you, my faithless kith and kin
I'd never faced this kind of rage
A Great War waged in love estranged
I lost to you, but earned my peace again
[Outro]
I'd never faced this kind of rage
A Great War waged in love estranged
I lost to you, but earned my peace again
[Verse 1]
I hung from your lips
Like Peter on the cross
Something 'bout the taste
Made me feel less lost
I wasn't innocent, I needed something different
You came around
With the promise of today
I knew all too well
How the heart gets played
I wasn't innocent, I needed something different
[Chorus]
Poisoned words, iced moonshine
Go down easy
[Verse 1]
I hung from your lips
Like Peter on the cross
Something 'bout the taste
Made me feel less lost
I wasn't innocent, I needed something different
You came around
With the promise of today
I knew all too well
How the heart gets played
I wasn't innocent, I needed something different
[Chorus]
Poisoned words, iced moonshine
Go down easy, but get worse with time
I'm drunk on you like a fool
Prison breaks on a moon-drunk night
Cowboys flickering in firelight
I'm drunk on you like a fool
[Verse 2]
I met you in the summer
When the days tarried long
In the heat of passion
Well, your touch felt wrong
I didn't know it then, you'd be my bitter end
My ultimate regret
Made me feel like a man
You built me up then broke me
Like the good ones can
I didn't know it then, you'd be my bitter end
[Chorus]
Poisoned words, iced moonshine
Go down easy, but get worse with time
I'm drunk on you like a fool
Prison breaks on a moon-drunk night
Cowboys flickering in firelight
I'm drunk on you like a fool
[Bridge]
Satiate my thirst
Give me all your worst
And I, I'll give you mine
Sunday school
Taught me 'bout that Golden Rule
But I, I guess iron is fine
[Chorus]
Poisoned words, iced moonshine
Go down easy, but get worse with time
I'm drunk on you like a fool
Prison breaks on a moon-drunk night
Cowboys flickering in firelight
I'm drunk on you like a fool
[Outro]
And I, I'll be alright (I wasn't innocent, I didn't know it then)
I'll be alright (I needed something different, you'd be my bitter end)
Just one more drink tonight
[Verse 1]
I've been a man without honor
Living only for the day
Bound to patterns of desire
Burning out my candle flame
[Chorus]
But it's alright now
I found my way to air out
All the skeletons in my closet
Said my secrets out loud
Living for tomorrow
Living for next year
All the time I borrow
Settles all my fears
Enter my golden age
Enter
[Verse 1]
I've been a man without honor
Living only for the day
Bound to patterns of desire
Burning out my candle flame
[Chorus]
But it's alright now
I found my way to air out
All the skeletons in my closet
Said my secrets out loud
Living for tomorrow
Living for next year
All the time I borrow
Settles all my fears
Enter my golden age
Enter my golden age
[Verse 2]
I wanna live without drama
Find my peace in the now
Got a few dozen traumas
But look what healing allows
[Chorus]
It's alright now
I found my way to air out
All the skeletons in my closet
Said my secrets out loud
Living for tomorrow
Living for next year
All the time I borrow
Settles all my fears
Enter my golden age
Enter my golden age
[Bridge]
So give me your heart
Make it real, make it last
Make it through all the good
And the bad, and the blessed
Make it out of this town
Give it all, give all we've got
We've got each other
And who'd have thought you'd be mine?
You'd be my always
You'd be my golden age, my glory days
You'd be mine
My golden age, my glory days
[Chorus]
It's alright now
I found my way to air out
All the skeletons in my closet
Said my secrets out loud
Living for tomorrow
Living for next year
All the time I borrow
Settles all my fears
Enter my golden age
Enter my golden age (it's there on the horizon, a better day arriving)
[Outro]
So give me your heart
Make it real, make it last
Make it through all the good
And the bad, and the blessed
Make it out of this town
Give it all, give all we've got
We've got each other
And who'd have thought you'd be mine?
You'd be my always
You'd be my golden age, my glory days
You'd be mine
My golden age, my glory days
[Verse 1]
Saturday morning
Every hand you’ve held is here
You’ve cheered our spirits you’ve calmed our fears
Even in mourning
We can’t help but smile through the tears
Now you’re gone, but we feel you here
[Pre-Chorus]
You’ll rest by the wayside
Blessed by the way you loved in stride
American story of a good man who died
[Chorus]
You leave a legac

Speaking to the sky knowing you’re nearby
I’ll go through the books you wrote
You’re in every word, kept in each verse
I’m humbled by the man you were
I’m grateful for the lessons I learned
A dedicated instrument, you were God’s hands
And in the times when life gets hard
I’ll think of you, and where you are
I’ll follow faithfully, the best of plans
You’re not far, and I hope someday
To be where you are
[Pre-Chorus]
You’ll rest by the wayside
Blessed by the way you loved in stride
No empty chairs in our heavenly home, abide
[Chorus]

Thank you for your legacy of love
You’ll watch us from above
And we will follow you in your way
