Dive Deep

Take a step back from what you've known
I've been years in the making
Built up and breaking
Torn up and sewn
Now a stranger in your home
Can you see me through it all
I've been climbing back slowly
Humble and lowly
Ever since the fall
Now just trying to stand tall
Am I good enough
All I ever wanted was to live by love
Now there's oceans in between us
Well let's dive deep
Since I left you in the dark
I lit a forest fire with
The lightest of winds and
The tiniest of sparks
Now we don't know where to start
Are we not the same
What moves in you still moves in me
The same old things still call my name
I don't think there's a better way
Than to just dive deep
Through all the noise I'll sing it loud
All I ever wanted was to make you proud
So give me your uncertainty, your honesty, and your doubts
And let's dive deep

Cardboard House

There's always a turning point where things are make or break
Either we're stepping up or we should just walk away
And I know I'm only passing through, but
Sometimes I wonder if I'd stay
I know I found you somewhere in the in-between
Right when you were waking up from someone else's dream
And I know it's an illusion, but
I don't think I'm ready to leave
Build a couple makeshift walls
Throw a blanket and some pillows on the floor
Well we built a cardboard house, but
Time it came a-knockin' at the door
I know on paper, well my hands they were kept clean
You gave me your word but it's not really what you mean
Well I knew that I'd done wrong, I could hear it in the words she didn't speak
Maybe one day we'll learn to love the way they do
With lines drawn in the sand and a commitment to the truth
Oh but even at an arm's length I think I'm getting caught up in you
And she tells me that it's fine
But I've given that same line out before
And our little cardboard house
Well it never stood a chance against the storm
There's always a turning point where things are make or break
Either we're stepping up or we should just walk away
Well I'm in no place to linger, I could really use some time spent alone
But I'll be in town later, I wonder if you'd pick up the phone

Truth be told
I've been missing you
In hours gold
I'm stuck in ocean blues
Don't they say that home is where your heart is?
She is prone to roam, oh so darlin'
Let's get it started
And take this show out on the road
It's hard to leave
Known shores and family trees
She said "don't you worry
Set your roots on down in me"
Don't they say that home is where your heart is?
Mine is prone to roam, oh so darlin'
Just know I'm all in
Let's take this show out on the road
Truth be told
I've been missing you
In hours gold
I'm stuck in ocean blues

Be Back Soon

Out of the water, headed out west
You said that you'd be back soon
Off to your father's, who always knew best
To catch a couple higher views
Bird of a feather, leader of the pack
Well lately things are coming loose
Go get yourself better and when you get back
We'll laugh like we always do
Feet stuck to old floors, drinks in hand
Long hair and dancing shoes
Clothing from thrift stores, favourite bands
And plans our mothers wouldn't approve
Saturday road wars, untouched lands
Explore 'til there's nothing new
Sunday hangovers, sitting in the sand
Well all of it still feels like you
Ou, well all of it still feels like you
Ou, well all of it still feels like you
Ou, well all of it still feels like you
Ou, well all of it still feels like you
The ground still carries the weight of your walking
The crashing waves do all of your talking
I still feel you everywhere that you've been
It's like you'll be back soon
The ground still carries the weight of your walking
The crashing waves do all of your talking
I still feel you everywhere that you've been
It's like you'll be back soon

She & I
03:25

I met her at the train station
Both with our baggage in tow
Not quite sure of our destination, but we
Knew we had somewhere to go
I with my tool box ready to conquer
She with her heart and no plan of attack
I set to go where my feet might wander
She who could stop me dead in my tracks
But that first line to the next frontier
Had too many knowing looks
But I swear I could've sat there for years
To grab whatever train she took
She with her mile long list of excuses
I who knew they were all fearful lies
I who'd already been up and through it
She with the rest of the world on her mind
I with my prayers sent on up to cupid
She with some courage still left to find
I set to love her fully and foolish
She said she'd catch me further down the line
But I am her and she is I
I always hoping her wheels were in motion
She who was born to and swayed by the tide
She with her toes dipped into the ocean
I set to greet her on the other side
Oh but darling take your time
