If You're Missing (Come On Home)

If You're Missing (Come On Home)
Here I am
Red high heels
Yellow dress
Perfect nails
Lips like velvet
Don't you want me, baby?

I've been here and back again
It never answers anything
Where was I when they handed out the knowing you are loved?

Don't it get lonely out there, little darling
Well come on home
I'll be here with open arms
To hold you
When you arrive
I'll be here with open arms
To show you
Where you belong
If you're missing come on home

Been undone
I've seen it all
Still somehow I refuse to kick this carnivore to the wall
Traveled here a thousand years
It's a wonder my heart stills heals and beats and feels
It does anything at all

Don't it get lonely out there, little darling
Well come on home
I'll be here with open arms
To hold you
When you arrive
I'll be here with open arms
To show you
Where you belong
If you're missing come on home

Don't it get lonely out there, little darling
Well come on home
I'll be here with open arms
To hold you
When you arrive
I'll be here with open arms
To show you
Where you belong
If you're missing come on home

Josiah

Josiah
It's only a three day drive
And I was hoping you'd come along
Come on Josiah, don't be cross

I hear New Mexico is really gorgeous this time of year
Don't you want to see the Spanish moss

I've been running far too long
For you to give up on me now
Won't you find a comfort in your friend
And the big blue sky is much to empty without you putting me down
And I'd really like to know you're holding my hand

I'm playing cedar guitar
And I've been thinking you wanted to
Come on Josiah, sing along

You never said no before
To six strings on a cedar guitar
But I've betting you didn't want to start off wrong

I've been running far too long
For you to give up on me now
Won't you find a comfort in your friend
And the big blue sky is much to empty without you putting me down
And I'd really like to know you're holding my hand

It's only a three day drive
Josiah come on pack your bags
I know you needed to get away

I hear New Mexico is really gorgeous this time of year
Don't you want to watch the children play

I've been running far too long
For you to give up on me now
Won't you find comfort in your friend
And the big blue sky is much too empty without you putting me down
And I'd really like to know you're holding my hand
Yes I'd really like to know you're holding my hand
I'd really like to know you're holding my hand

Las Palmas

Las Palmas
I woke up in white cotton sheets
With a glass of champagne in my hand
I looked out the window beside me
Breathed in the sea and the sand
And all felt fine

I stood up on a white tile floor
Took down my hair and I cried
I walked through the arches and on to the shore
And let the waves crash for a while
And it all felt fine

I was the only one
Walking on the ocean that night
I was the only one
Encompassed and kissed by starlight
And all the fireflies whispered your name

Love, love
Dance with me in this moonlight
Love Love
Don't leave me now it's only midnight
He's already gone

I laid down in white salty sand

In a gown for a party I'd never attend
I looked out the vastness before me
Picked up my skirt and I ran
And the moon was mine
I laughed at my foolish pride
Got lost in the mist as my tears relied
I wish you knew I stilled cared
And a lighthouse broke through the night
But the moon was mine

I was the only one
Walking on the ocean that night
I was the only one
Encompassed and kissed by starlight
And all the fireflies whispered your name

Love, love
Dance with me in this moonlight
Love Love
Don't leave me now it's only midnight
He's already gone

Leaving Town Alive

Leaving Town Alive
Spending all your money
Ain't it funny how the time goes by?
First you start believing
Then you're leaving for no reason
And you're wondering why
So till the morning breaks
Go and make your mistakes
Don't be surprised if your head hurts
Life is for the living, the forgiven and for leaving town alive

Whisper in the ways
Watching days and moving on
You wake up every Monday then suddenly it's Sunday
And the week is gone
So till the morning breaks
Go and make your mistakes
Don't be surprised at the sunrise
Life is for the living, the forgiven and for leaving town alive

Oh, do you wonder where it starts
Where it ends
What you find around the bend
Oh, do you wonder where she's from
Where she goes
No one knows
Now and then you wonder
Why you're spending all your money
Ain't it funny how she walks on by?
She had you all believing
Now she's leaving for no reason
And you're wondering why

So till the morning breaks
Go and make your mistakes
Don't be surprised if your heart hurts
Life is for the living, the forgiven and for leaving town alive

Oh, do you wonder where it starts
Where it ends
What you find around the bend
And oh, do you wonder where she's from
Where she goes
No one knows
Now and then

Oh, do you wonder where it starts
Where it ends
What you find around the bend
And do you wonder where she's from
Where she goes
No one knows
Now and then you wonder

Why life is for the living, the forgiven and the leaving town alive
Life is for the living, the forgiven and the leaving town alive

Let Me Fall

Let Me Fall
It's October again
Leaves are coming down
One more year's come and gone
And nothing's changed at all
Wasn't I supposed to be someone
Who can face the things that I've been running from...

Let me feel, I don't care if I breakdown
Let me fall, even if I hit the ground
And if I...
Cry a little
Die a little
At least I know I lived, just a little...

I've become much too good at being invincible
I'm an expert at play it safe, and keep it cool
But I swear this isn't who I'm meant to be
I refuse to let my life roll all over me...

Let me feel, I don't care if I breakdown
Let me fall, even if I hit the ground
And if I...
Cry a little
Die a little
At least I know I lived, just a little...

I wanna be somebody
I, I wanna be somebody
I wanna be somebody
I, I wanna be somebody who can face the things that I've been running from

Let me feel, I don't care if I breakdown
Let me fall, even if I hit the ground
And if I
Cry a little
Die a little
At least I know I lived...

It's October again
Leaves are coming down
One more year's come and gone
And nothing's changed at all
