Finding Forward

Feeling my way in the dark,
never knowing what I’m looking for
Caught between where I am,
and the thought of what’s to come
Thought I could stand on my own feet,
but the rug was pulled from under me
I've been stuck in the past, reliving what I've done
I’ve been waiting for a feeling
I was searching for a light
Passions fade as time moves onward
But I will trust You know what’s right this time
I’m not going back, I’m only finding forward
And I will keep moving on until this life is over
Now I know which way to go
Don’t have to look way down the road
Starting today (hey!) I’m only finding forward
Yeah starting today (hey!) I’m only finding forward
I’m always searching for answers
that are right in front of me
Started realizing that I’ve become nothing
Caught before the doors that lead me to a new dream
Now taking that step, I’m starting to push on
I’ve been waiting for a feeling
I was searching for a light
Not gonna waste another moment
I will choose to do what’s right this time

Hold On (Let Go)
04:12

Maybe, we’ll find a home in these four walls
Maybe, things will change
These faces look no different than my own
Is it foolish to think
that strangers could live in a home?
Oh, I’m letting go of all I know
But Oh, it’s hard to change from all I’ve known
So I’m just trying to...
Hold on, hold on, hold on
But I’ve got to let go, oh oh, oh oh
I was always told to fall in line
That this was freedom, but my hands were tied
Just keep your feelings to yourself, and you’ll be alright
But could it be this is not my destiny?
Why have I held on
To what they say?
I’ve tried to change myself
But got in the way
So I’m just trying to..
Hold on, hold on, hold on
But I’ve got to let go, oh oh, oh oh
Come and See
All I am
Let it go
Let it...

Dry Ground
06:28

In the stillness, in the silence
Of this long-forgotten home,
This long forgotten home
I've been watching, I've been waiting
For a sign to give me hope
I take a step out but I just fall down, down
Pick me up from this dry ground
Break the earth that holds me down
breathe the dust to life in me, again
Because I’m way too young to be this desert I've become
The Carolina sun
Has parched my mouth and scorched my soul
And I don't know where to go
This dusty barren land
Has held a grip upon my hand
It's pulled me down, and I'm undone, undone
I've lost all I thought I once was
Broken, abandoned, distraught
I'm afraid that my roots have turned to chains
Would you catch my falling heart?
Would you catch me, would you catch me when I fall?
Do you hear me, do you hear me when I call? (x2)
Would you care at all?

Porchlight
06:06
|

|
Night is creeping in, breeze drift by my skin
The moon is glinting dimly
in the place where it belongs
As the trees rise up to meet it
Everything is fine.
The crickets sigh all night
Moths resume their flight
A porchlight hangs in the balance
Of the cobwebs that lie beneath the eaves
I sit and think about you, everything is fine.
But I can't stop wondering if my world deserves to change
And I can't stop asking why I always question
When everything is fine. will everything be fine?
The silence stretches on, moonlight's almost gone
The moths have stopped their wandering
And the crickets ceased their song
But the porchlight still burns on
Cause everything's not fine
Light is seeping in, dew touching my skin
The sun is stretching slowly as I doze beneath its' gaze
That porchlight fades in brightness
As a new light begins to rise
And everything is fine.

Beautiful Mess
06:55
|

|
Midnight, the closing scene, time for me to make it clean
We sat in the back of the car. And I realized just then
That my thoughts grew too thin
And I had not a clue what to say
And you looked at me with no questions just apathy
And I saw the end in your eye
So I leaned back and took a step
All the way back inside myself
Tried to knock down the walls in my head
I found deep inside my soul memories I could not hold
They never were mine to have
Then I knew in my heart that the feelings there from the start
Meant nothing to everything, nothing to everything.
But I tried to explain what by then was inane
And I just couldn't find the words, so that night I said goodbye to you
And hoped that you somehow knew how much I loved you still
How much I loved you still...
And I swear you knew all along
Cause I have heard you sing this same song
I guess that my thoughts are better off left to themselves
Spinnin a-round, round, round, round in my head
Over again. Over again. Over again. Over again.
I've barely seen you since that day you got out and walked away
Our lives have since drifted apart. I hope to God you're doing well
But then again and just as well at the same time I pray that you're not
But one day I hope you'll see just how much you have meant to me
And what a beautiful mess you have made. What a beautiful mess we have made
What a beautiful mess I have made, I have made. I have made

Carolina

Carolina, we had met in an awkward circumstance
You reached out your hand but I held mine back,
I was scared to let go,
Of everything that I had ever known
Carolina, you were patient with my insecurities,
You waited long enough for me to see,
that you’re not so bad, and now I see,
All this time that you believed in me
Is it the trees, or your blades of green?
Is it your big blue sky, or your sun setting?
Is it the trees? I’ve been wondering
there’s something here that’s got a hold on me
Verse 2:
Carolina there’s just something about your weathers' shade of blue,
Your rolling hills and fields are beautiful,
You’ve made a fan out of me
And now those hills are filled with memories
Carolina, you have introduced me to so many friends,
You taught me that community transcends, where I am, to the soul, and I can take it anywhere I go
Carolina, I am going now but this is not the end
I know that I’ll return to an open hand,
And I’ll reach right back, reach right back,
To Carolina
Woah oh Carolina,
Woah oh Carolina,
Woah oh Carolina,
There’s something here
That’s got a hold on me.
