Maybe Next Christmas
‘Maybe next Christmas’ she used to say
‘We’ll find a new life and we’ll both run away
maybe next Christmas I won’t be with him
maybe next Christmas we can start fresh again
Maybe next Christmas we’ll have reaped what we’ve sown
Maybe next Christmas we’ll have paid what we owe
Maybe next Christmas we won’t be afraid
Maybe next Christmas we’ll both be ok
But you can’t pull the truth out of thin air
And you can’t manufacture what ain’t there
And maybe next Christmas we’ll sit by a fire
Maybe next Christmas you won’t be a liar
Maybe next Christmas I’ll be in your arms
With the scent of the evergreen keeping us strong
Maybe next Christmas I’ll finally get to see
You wearing that dress that you bought just for me
Maybe next Christmas you’ll be by my side
And relentlessly prove to me that I’m worth the fight
Maybe next Christmas I’ll have more to say
Than ‘I gave you everything and you gave me away’
But you can’t pull the truth out of thin air
And you can’t manufacture what ain’t there
And maybe next Christmas you won’t be thinking
That I’m just a criminal and you’re still the queen
Maybe next Christmas I’ll have more to say
Than I gave you everything and you gave me away
I gave you everything and you gave me away
I gave you everything and you gave me away
So Long So Long
Sunrise show me the way
I’m the first chaser today
New fire, new set of tools
New freedom in the truth
I know I know I know I know
I still love you
Oh girl where did you go
Too busy, too removed
But you’ve changed like you said you would
You must’ve misunderstood
Cos’ I know I know I know I know
I still love you
I know I know I know I know
I still love you
So long, so long we’ve been waiting
For a chance but now I know we’ve been failing
Come on, come on, come on
We can walk this road
Hold on…hold on
Somehow I’ve lost my place
And we’ve both made our mistakes
Mine make and ocean inside
Face down, I’ll drown in the tide
but I know I know I know I know
I still love you
I know I know I know I know
I still love you
So long, so long we’ve been waiting
For a chance but now I know we’ve been failing
Come on, come on, come on
We can walk this road
Hold on…hold on
Her Name was December
I can feel you hesitating
as your breath begins to shake
thread a needle and i’ll weave my way
in and out, your doubts unraveling
So long December, baby
I am sinking in
if you don’t remember me, I hope you’re listening
yeah I miss you again, again
yeah I miss you again, again
Caught a glimpse inside euphoria,
a face willing to dream
like a fire in a lover’s veins
your eyes will rise, then turn away
So long December, baby
I am sinking in
if you don’t remember me, I hope you’re listening
yeah I miss you again, again
yeah I miss you again, again
‘
All these memories parade…parade
inside these boxes full of pacts we’ve made
and our remains
So long December, baby
I am sinking in
if you don’t remember me, I hope you’re listening
yeah I miss you again, again
yeah I miss you again, again
Better
Two fires, they’re breathing
running out of air
two heart, they’re beating
feeding this affair
it’s too far for a clean escape
demons on my sleeve—
they’re not what you expected
when I asked you to believe
For you, for me
make me a better man
for you, for me
make me a better man
With your eyes on my secrets,
God knows what you’ll see
there’s so much to my story,
but you’re the perfect ending
I haven’t found what you’re looking for
I haven’t found what you need
but don’t think what you’re after is
more than I can be
For you, for me
make me a better man
for you, for me
make me a better man
Fact or Fable
Two reds and a green every night
In the morning there’s a yellow and a white
Is this keeping me stable?
Is this keeping me stable?
Fireworks in a bloodstream ignite
Chemicals in a rush to find a fight
Is that fact or fable
What I read on the label
Try your best
Don’t die here
Try your best
Don’t die here
I said I’d wait
Hanging by a thread
With a flower in my hand
Waiting at the other end
I bled I gave everything I had
You changed your mind
You changed my life
A slick cylinder silver face
Gunpowder’s packed tight – encased
One’s locked in the chamber
And five chances remain hers
I stood by with instruction to wait
Nothing left but a question mark remains
Am I playing God or just paying my way forward
Try your best
Don’t die here
Try your best
Don’t die here
I said I’d wait
Hanging by a thread
With a flower in my hand
Waiting at the other end
I bled I gave everything I had
You changed your mind
You changed my life
Two reds and a green every night
In the morning there’s a yellow and a white
Is this keeping me stable?
Is this keeping me stable?
Fireworks in a bloodstream ignite
Chemicals in a rush to find a fight
Is that fact or fable
Is that fact or fable
Is that fact or fable?
Old Friend
My heart laid against the sand
Carved by the ocean’s hand
The rising tide’s coming in
To push and pull me again
Come on in
Don’t wear thin
I wanna be your old friend again…
My heart was an empty bloom
Robbed by the deepest root
But something drew me to you
Prior to the fire coming through
Come on in
Don’t wear thin
I wanna be your old friend again
Don’t be shy
Or roll on by
I wanna be your old friend again
Don’t fade out or force me out
I wanna be your old friend again
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh…

While we’re still enchanted with this life and all of its ups and downs
You’ll be acquainted with the next life and all of its sights and sounds
Show me the way
Virginia Gray
Ridden with depravity
We’re slaves to the gravity the earth
Your shoulders, weightless now
Clinging to angel’s gowns
A beautiful bird
Show me the way
Virginia Gray
While we’re still here questioning
The reason for suffering
You’ll know the truth
Will you send us a messenger
To teach us a lesson that will push us through
Show us a the way
Virginia Gray
Show us the way
Virginia Gray
