Everchanging

In the face of change,
that's when she turned to me and said:
"I'm not sure anymore..."
And there, amidst the waves
and the cloudless skies...
That blanket, the year before...
I watch my life wash ashore.

Have you ever been a part of something
that you thought would never end?
And then, of course, it did.
Have you ever felt the weight inside you,
pulling away inside your skin?
Then something had to give...

And now the lines are drawn...
Is this feeling gone?
The best parts of this have come and gone
and now that is all that this is.
With the reasons clear,
We'll spend another year...
Without direction,
full of fear,
but now things will be different.

There's nothing simple when it comes to you and I...
Always something in this everchanging life;
and there probably always will.
Now that time is getting harder to come by,
the same arguments are always on our mind,
killed this slowly fading lights.

And now the lines are drawn,
is this feeling gone?
The best parts of this have come and gone,
and now that is all that this is.
And with the reasons clear,
we'll spend another year...
Without direction,
full of fear,
but now things will be different...

And now something, has kept me here too long...
And you can't leave me, if I'm already gone

And now something, has kept me here too long...
And you can't leave me, if I'm already gone...
Well something, has kept me here to long, and you can't leave me, if I'm already gone...

And we make the same mistakes; we're always hanging on.
Break the promises we're always leaning on.
All this time spent waking up...
Now keep this line open to get this call from you,
speak the words that keep me coming back to you...

Now this time it's all different...
And now something has kept me here too long,
and now I'm gone...

Swing Life Away

Am I loud and clear or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer, are we just getting more lost?
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

I've been here so long; think that its time to move
The winter's so cold summer's over too soon
so let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
But we've had some times I wouldn't trade for the world
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go

We live on front porches and swing life away
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

Swing life away
swing life away
swing life away
swing life away
