To the Grave

Well if I could've I would've been tall
Been a great player with my name in the hall
I'd have traveled and played in the States and beyond
If I would've been tall I would've gone on, gone on
Well if I could've I would've been free
Can't even imagine the things I could've been
A painter, a writer, a singer, a great
Not thinkin' about the best way to get paid, get paid
But I know you can only choose so much
Just don't waste your time on excuses and such
Don't let them rule you to the grave
The only thing you can really change
Is how you see the path before you
Is how you see the path before you
Don't let them rule you to the grave
Well if I could've I would've been brave
The mountains and valleys would all be the same
The goats and horses would all know my name
If I would've been brave I'd be out in the rain, the rain
Don't let them rule you to the grave
The only thing you can really say
Is that you'll change the path before you
Is that you'll change path before you
Don't let them rule you to the grave
But I know you can only choose so much
Just don't waste your time on excuses and such
Don't let them rule you to the...
Don't let them rule you to the... x3
Don't let them rule you to the grave

Burning Bridges
03:39

It seems like a slow current
But we gotta watch out for the undertow
As we wade to get across
'Cause we're gonna burn it from below
We're gonna burn this bridge from below
We dreamed of a better day
Than this like scorching sun or soft wind
Looks like we'll do it in rain
Looks like we'll burn this bridge in the rain
Coming here will never be the same
There's a new way now
A better way to get around
We burnt the old way down
There's a new way now
A way to cross over the crowd
Of waves that cradle our old sound
We watch the rubble go with the flow
And leave the ashes our only trace
Onto a brighter site we'll go
I found a place where the water stays
I found a place where the water never sways
There's a new way now
A better way to get around
We burnt the old way down
There's a new way now
A way to cross over the crowd
Of waves that cradle our old sound
There's a new way now
A better way to get around
We burnt the old way down
We burnt the old way down

Hometown
02:54

I went through a town lost far into the woods
I went through a town that called itself the capital of moose
It was my hometown
It was my home, hometown
Made a castle in the snow
On the first of July two years in a row
Two years straight at the parade
Had my hands in my pockets and a dollar for candy
It was my hometown
It was my home
I see a tower up ahead
And there's the Mata- river 'round the bend
I know I've made it to a place of lumberjack grace, yeah
Who's your father? And what does he do?
Turns out he's the cousin of the neighbor
Who lived out by the little lagoon
Only time I didn't make it home
Was on Highway 11 in the middle of snowstorm
Only time I didn't make it home
I was stuck in New Liskeard in a blizzard on a side road
We were homebound
We were home
I see a tower up ahead
And there's the Mata- river 'round the bend
I know I've made it to a place of lumberjack grace, yeah
Who's your mother? And what does she do?
Turns out she's the daughter of a guitar-maker
Who lives in Waterloo

Just the Way You Move
04:09

Overthinkg all the ways
In which we are the same
In which we are the same
Gets the best of me
It's how I get myself to agree
To go where I know you'll be
There's something in the way you walk
Only you, only you
There's something in the way you came right over when you saw me
When you saw me, when you saw me
Overdrinking gin in the morning
What do I do without you
What do I do without you
You'll be everywhere until I have you
In front of me, in front of me
There's something in the way you play
It could go on all night, it could go on all night
Don't wanna move on, wanna move forward
Don't wanna be be strong, even though I'm gonna get burned
Only you can stop me now
And I'm not waiting for you
It's just the way you move
It's just the way you move
I know I'm making some of it up
But it's not all in my head
It's not all in my-
I know you know you turn me on
Only you can stop me now
And I'm not waiting for you
It's just the way you move
It's just the way you move
There's something in the way you talk
Only you, only you
There's something in the way you said my name when you saw me
It's just the way you move x4
