The Cape

We're on our way to the Cape
It's a perfect time for a getaway
And I've been counting down the days
We're staying where you used to stay
On our way
It's another beautiful September day
Not a cloud in the sky over Pleasant Bay
And you're still where you were that day
Protected from the waves
On our way to the place
Where we said our goodbyes
Two years ago
We're gonna do all your favorite things
Go to Pirate's Cove and record shopping
And we'll have fun but it's not the same
'cause I miss you more and more each day

Way Back When

Thinking back on my younger days
When summer used to last so long
Now that I'm older, it's flying by
Was it like that all along?
Take me back to way back when
Take me back to those days again
Playing baseball in the cul-de-sac
Didn't know how good we had it then
Growing up, you'd talk about
Your days back in Michigan
Now that I'm older, I get it more
I know why you'd be missing them
Take me back to way back when
Take me back to those days again
Rollerblading in the neighborhood
Didn't know how good we had it then
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go?
Take me back to way back when
Take me back to those days again
All these memories are not enough
Take me back to way back when

Cardinal

I need to know
That you are out there
I need to know
I see the signs
The cardinal flying by
I see the signs
A cold wind blows
As summer turns to fall
A cold wind blowin'
After the rain
There is a rainbow
After the rain comes down
I need to know
That you're still out there
I need to know

Old Soul

It was this time last year
We cleaned out the house and we sold it
And I know you would've hated leaving
So we left a piece of you behind
I kept all of your records
Well, maybe not all of 'em
'cause we couldn't keep everything
And I hoped you would understand
I - I miss you
I - I miss you
Old soul
Ever since we left
I keep going back in my dreams
It feels like we forgot something
But what we lost, we'll never get back
I - I miss you
I - I miss you
Old soul

High Tides

Down in the basement I heard you upstairs
I went up to check and I saw you were there
I called out your name but you didn't look up
I cried out to you but you didn't look up
High tides wash over you
High tides carry me anew
Every day
Every day
I thought it was over but it happened again
You came in through the door like an old friend
You stayed for a while and then you left in a flash
You stayed for a while and it ended like that
High tides wash over you
High tides carry me anew
Oh, the water rising faster
All around you and me
All the time
All the time
This isn't real life, it's only a dream
But it couldn't feel more real to me
And what can I do when a dream's all I have?
And what can I do when a dream's not enough?
High tides wash over you
High tides carry me anew
Every day
Every day
Every day
Every day

Maybe I'll Learn
03:26

I have been in rough shape
'cause I've been carry this weight
And I'm sorry that I haven't
Been there like I should
I've been losing my way
Do I still have something to say?
Has it gone away
Or can it still be found?
I feel like I'm falling
Maybe I'll learn how to fly
I know that it's gonna take time
But I'm willing to try
I'm willing to try
I know that I can do better from here
If I can get past my greatest fear
And there is an answer
If you just know where to look
I feel like I'm falling
Maybe I'll learn how to fly
I know that it's gonna take time
But I'm willing to try
I'm willing to try

One More Time
04:12
|
|

It's been a couple years
Since you went away
And I still wanna call you
Just to see how you're doing now
Are you okay?
I'm okay, I'm okay
But I wish that I could talk to you
Just to tell you what's been going on
What I'd give just to talk to you
One more time
One more
It feels like a lot
Has been happening
Bought a house, got a new job
And I need to know that you're proud of me
Are you proud?
I need to know, I need to know
And I wish that I could talk to you
Just to tell you what's been going on
What I'd give just to talk to you
One more time
One more
One more time
Give me one more

So Long
04:10

When I first heard the news
It felt like everything slowed down
And it seemed so strange
Not to have you around
We looked at old photos
When you looked just like me
Man, I used to hate that
But now it makes me happy
And I know there will come a day
But for now I'll say
So long
Down by the boathouse
Where we said goodbye
One of your favorite places
I never wondered why
I wore one of your sweatshirts
And we played your favorite songs
If you were there that day
You would've sung along
And I know there will come a day
But for now I'll say
So long
Things are moving faster now
Sometimes I can't keep pace
And I miss those days when
I would see your face
So long
So long, old soul
So long
So long, old soul
So long
So long, old soul
So long
So long, old soul
So long
So long, old soul

Little Prince

When you were born
A long time ago
I promised to be
Wherever you go
Scorpio moon
Always in tow
You will be strong
More than you know
Waters may rise
Cold winds may blow
But I will be there
Guiding you home
My little prince
Wherever you go
Keep me in your heart
I love you so
