Closer
Your headed south and leaving tomorrow
It's all I can do to stay and not follow
I have a million words but I just seem to swallow
Them all
There was a time I had you to hold on to
But just like the day's, yeah there gone too
We both have dreams in different places
Would you say?
But when I see your face that's when I wonder
What it would be like to get undercover
And have those sweet lips against mine
When I get that rush it feels just like cocaine
It goes out of my head and into my bloodstream
When my heart grows tired I sure don't feel it anyway
But I should slow down and get my composure
I am a spoken for man and your off to Georgia
So we should say good night before we get
Any closer

New Mexico
Roads and roads that lead
Feet are the miles that bleed
In New Mexico
Pretty girls smile in the heat
Remind you of what you need
Her eyes light up
Like a wildfire canyon in lust
I followed her down
Through the stories and shores
Of her gown
In New Mexico
Roads and roads that lead
Feet are the miles that bleed
Her eyes of fire
Right there beside her
I was finding the one
New Mexico
New Mexico
New Mexico

5 to 7
She said you have a way with words
But put away those words
You keep talking like that its bound to hurt me
So she said goodbye
She was headed to Atlanta on the 85
I was killing myself in overdrive
And thinking the worst
I stepped out the front door with my head in hands
Screaming at the sky hope she'll understand and
Come on home
But 5 turned to 7 7 to 9
A bottle of tequila a bottle of wine
And still no sign
12:31 1 to 2
Got to find a way to give up on you
And live my life
Theres an anthem of regret on the radio
And I got no choice but to take it slow
And watch the time go by
You can tear me and you can tear me down
Find a way right back to me, please
But 5 turned to 7 7 to 9
A bottle of tequila a bottle of wine
And still no sign
12:31 1 to 2
Got to find a way to give up on you
And live my life
You should know this of me by now
Honey I don't mean a thing
To leave me here with the clocks on the wall
Darlin I know the pain

Dallas or Chicago
It could be Dallas or Chicago
Mainly anywhere but here
On good day's I have the answers
But they always disappear
Pass me up that bottle
So I can put her down
And pretend for one moment
That I'm out of this town
Now I know it's all the same when
We let it go and give in to demons
So pull me down and take the air from me
Maybe it's not this town
That haunts me
Maybe my actions have said enough
I am always looking behind me
My crazy eyes should look up
Now I know it's all the same when
We let it go and give in to demons
So pull me down and take the air from me
The honest approach
Is something stuck in my throat
When my words don't come out right
That's when I might
Say some things that I don't really mean
But that's what you do when your petty like me
Now I know it's all the same when
We let it go and give in to demons
So pull me down and take the air from me\
It could be Dallas or Chicago
Mainly anywhere but here
On good day's I have the answers
But they always disappear

Waiting
So now I see you got that feeling
And oh no you are not dreaming
All this time you have been waiting
To tear me down I know you know
And all those times you said don't be so afraid
It sounds so easy to say
So take that good and long look around
We don't have to live that way
And to a halt it came screaming
The life of a love born bleeding
And the writing wall now is reading
Everything you already know
And all those times you said don't be so afraid
It sounds so easy to say
So take that good and long look around
We don't have no we don't have to
So try your hand at living
Because dying won't take long
Can get a witness or have you sing along
We are hurting babe a little bit more than yesterday
But we are conscious babe a little bit more than yesterday
Don't you run away we are all in this together
Hear what I say?

Don't Want You to Go
That look in your eyes
It gives you away
We both walk that line
Where we won't need to say a thing
It won't take much time
For your lips to reach mine
And I want you to know
I don't want you to go
It aint no surprise that I need you to stay
I have done my time living this way
And it won't take much time
For your eyes to know mine
And I wan t you to know
I don't want you to go
It's not worth the fussin
The fighting or cussin cuz
The nights that I loved you are
The fights that I kept in my glove
