Sunshine For My Soul

Sunshine For My Soul
(Chorus)
She's the sunshine for my soul
She's the sunshine for my soul
Working every day
life is on parole
Looking for a piece of some sweetheart to know
(Chorus)
Dying all the day
Living ain't been right
Something's gotta give
and make something of this fight
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
How many more years must we not belong?
How many more fears must we string along?
How many more tears do we bury in the mud
Until the sadness clears, we'll just be running in the flood.
(Chorus)
I'll give her back someday
better than before
Living in the now
until the civil war
(Chorus x2)

A Little Bit Every Day

A Little Bit Every Day
If I could control the raging oceans
But I'm just here to watch it fade away
There's no end to this dance of emotion
I choose when or not to open up my day
(Chorus)
I can move on but my heart is tied
I can laugh but I still got to cry
I can live on but I still got to die
a little bit every day
Memories are all we'll ever have
Until these beautiful memories are gone
There's grace that will smile on your behalf
The truth still lingers from a forgotten song
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
When the world's are colliding
And we're done with materializing
and the precious among us are no more
do we have to return to the shore?
(Chorus)

Don't Let The Future Be The Past
You can drive so far
No one cares who you are
Months and months go rolling by
when no rain falls from the sky
Try to go where it pays
so you don't look back at the good old days
Try to find something that last
Don't let the future be the past
Kept three things to take me far
A guitar, laptop and a car
Wrote off the vampires of my soul
Burned some pants that felt too old
Got some cash and hit the west
There's souls I want to know the best
Anything I've got is sure to last
Don't let the future be the past
(Bridge)
When changes come the strongest grow
You'll cry tears of gold for show
Don't let the unknown get you down
Just take a walk and look around
(Solo)
You can drive so far
No one cares who you are
Months and months go rolling by
no rain falling from the sky
Try to go where it pays
so you don't look back at the good old days
Try to find something that last
Don't let the future be the past

Kicking The Odds
Is there a place we could take ourselves
See the confusion and go under it's spell?
Taking our chances taking our time
You're gonna keep looking never guess what you'll find
There's no reason to be reasoning here
There's no reason to be here at all
If there were a way man what way would it be
To let things go so easily?
(Chorus)
Gonna let the facts stand the way they are
Gonna let the madmen carry around his gun
Gonna let you run my world a little while
But I warn you
It's a hard job kicking the odds around
It's a hard job kicking the odds around
We've taken our chances taken our time
Nothing's forgotten because it's all in my mind
We found our place and who would have known
we'd go back on the very face of the world
with no time left to live away
There's no reason to be reasoning here
There's no reason to be here at all
If there were a way man what way would it be
To let things go so easily?
(Chorus)

Something Near Delight
I wear my name on her door with pride
And she knows just when I'll arrive
Speaking in echoes about something near delight
Quiet kisses and louder serenades
Hourglasses bleeding the time away
on just another New Year holiday
Lovers covered in adult desire
She turns on the lights and I turn on her fire
Speaking in echoes about something near delight

The Cocoon Of Pain And Dreams
I still don't know what went wrong
but love is like a song and there's no chord we can't play
Gotta get together work it out
even if we stand to shout there's some luck that we'll find a way
There's a frightened girl inside to take the ride and
not hide what it's all about
There's an insecure man again and he needs a friend
and an end to never ending doubt
I'd like to feel on an even keel and never mind the deal of the way things came to play
We made mistakes because it felt so real at least we could be real and there's no place I would rather stay
There's times I wonder what the meaning is
to always live in the cocoon of pain and dreams?
You're the reason for the heart getting stirred
make me sing like a bird
and dance like a cat in an LED beam

Love Is Standing Now

Love Is Standing Now
He was trying to calm her
bring her to heaven
make her dream of hearts made for two
Somehow along the way
she felt the game she played
was nothing but a game she thought she knew
So they broke up and made up
broke up and made up
so many times her heart was left scarred
Now they must wait for love's pearly gates
but waiting for love is getting hard
(Chorus)
But if love could stand the test of time
The love is standing now
But if love could stand the test of time
The love is standing now
He was trying to teach her
to learn from intentions
stay away from dreams that were impure
She thought he used her
once upon a cold night
and her good feelings could not endure
So she broke off and left him
and murdered her good will
in time he came sniffling around again
Realized they dreamed the same kind of dreams
heaven had sent both of them
(Chorus)

Right Until The End
I'll be right there for you my friend
Right until the end
Of this life
I'll be right there
Everybody loves you
everyone's praying for you
We'll all be there right until the end
Because the end is just the beginning
No matter how far you go
Everything is winning
Even though the pain it don't seem to show
Just know that we're with you right until the end
You can't back out my friend
Keep on fighting until the end
We'll be there right next to you
praying for you cheering you on
There's nights when you can't sleep
Know that we're praying for you deep
when you are in pain just know
we are there with you until the end
Satisfied to know
pain in comes pain it goes
these times are the hard times
but they don't ever have to show
through the good times that we remember and know
we think about every time we are down
we know that we'll be there with you
right until the end
Through the pain and the struggle
right until the end.

The Road To Where I Belong
I still long for your kiss
even when like this
When the world ain't so small
and I'm never there at all
In your arms so far along
the road to where I belong
Made you a promise I'll never retreat
the higher you hope for
it's up my street
We'll live this story forevermore
The world beside us behind these doors
in your arms so far along
The road to where I belong
We run circles around the rules
do we what we love with our tools
ones we win with burn down the bridge
between sadness and heaven
cowards and courage
in your arms so far along
this road to where I belong
