practicing lines in front of a mirror awkwardly trying to make it all clearer because last time, we didn’t get that far handling calls for second opinions trying to stall before making decisions because last time, we didn’t have the heart we both know, but we can’t go there it’s funny how convenience keeps this up we’re trying, but the truth we’re fighting is maybe we know love is not enough mumbling words to get us through dinner it’s rather absurd how we act like beginners maybe this time, one of us will break traveling home with music to cover everything’s wrong when we look at each other maybe this time will be the last mistake we both know, but we can’t go there it’s funny how convenience keeps this up we’re trying, but the truth we’re fighting is maybe we know love is not enough & it’s easier to stay when we’re facing our separate ways still practicing lines in front of a mirror I’m awkwardly trying to make it all clearer because last time, we didn’t get that far Written by Jeremiah Clark ©2014 Fifth & Madison Publishing (ASCAP)

Show Me Love 04:00
make me feel like I’ve never done this all before make me feel like there’s nothing else I could want more hold me down; tie me up let it go; show me love put your fears into a wooden jewelry box trap them inside with a little metal lock break me down; live it up let it go; show me love play my heartstrings discover something in my soul tear these walls down wipe away my casted frown my crown just hit the ground take me down; give it up let it go; show me love Written by Jeremiah Clark ©2014 Fifth & Madison Publishing (ASCAP)

red & blue & white, it seems we can't make up our mind again this time whatever we decide, I wonder, “Will it cost our lives again this time?” a freedom we can't feel for all the people who keep saying that they're trying sure weighs heavily on families of ones who lie at the front lines dying when will they have enough of someone's else blood? to protect securities, they lie and say, "It's for our country." everyone wants to tell us what we should & shouldn't do, but they don't wanna do anything about United States dividing tell me whatever happened to that little golden rule that worked long before the fools had their say & they're the only ones denying something's gotta change rich & poor & broke, it seems that money gets to vote for us these days ninety-nine percent is wondering, “Will ever end for us these days?” another freedom we can't feel for all the people who keep saying that they're trying is the reason why we're still sending so many kids to bed empty & crying when will they have enough of someone's else blood? to protect securities, they lie and say, "It's for our country." everyone wants to tell us what we should & shouldn't do, but they don't wanna do anything about United States dividing tell me whatever happened to that little golden rule that worked long before the fools had their say & they're the only ones denying something's gotta change something's gotta change the next time you place your hand over your heart think about exactly where you are everyone wants to tell us what we should & shouldn't do, but they don't wanna do anything about United States dividing tell me whatever happened to that little golden rule that worked so long before the fools had their say & they're the only ones denying something's gotta change something's gotta change; something's gotta change Written by Jeremiah Clark ©2014 Fifth & Madison Publishing (ASCAP)

the only time you say it is when we’re too intoxicated & the only time you need me is when I’m close to leaving the only time I feel love is when we’re trying not to give up & the only time we’re happy is when time is quickly passing who knew that love could stop without us knowing of it? what do we do when pain is all that we’ve got going for us? & I want to pretend that there’s starting again & I know there’s no such thing as make-believing the only thing I needed was to try to fit the pieces but the only thing you gave me was less than what could save me the only thing I dreamed of was someone returning my love but the only thing I got back was you saying “I don’t want that.” who knew we’d fall apart without us seeing? what do I do when pain is all that I’ve got going for me? & I want to pretend that there’s starting again & I know there’s no such thing as make-believe all this time I told myself there must be something wrong with me now I know that it’s not my fault, & I have been set free & I want to pretend that there’s starting again & I know there’s no such thing as make-believe & I want to pretend that it never ends & I know there’s no such thing as make-believing Written by Jeremiah Clark ©2014 Fifth & Madison Publishing (ASCAP)

so this is the quiet before the storm but I won’t be afraid ‘cause I have seen it a thousand times before & I know just what to say go away! I don’t have the strength to deal with difficult times today I just want to think about the love that I have made so now that the storm has finally passed the sun is coming through the clouds it’s drowning out all the darkness cast & drying up the grounds & I just want to think about the love that I have made go away! I don’t have the strength to deal with difficult times today I just want to think about the love that I have made I just want to think about the love that I have made I just want to think about the love that I have made Written by Jeremiah Clark ©2014 Fifth & Madison Publishing (ASCAP)

so I’ve been making decisions that even I don’t approve of but I am living in a world full of wreckage that just don’t let up I ain’t denying that reasons exist why I shouldn’t give up but I’m tired of trying when I’m the only one who gives a fuck I know that I’m no angel, but I’m working on my wings there’s a bitter aftertaste when I swallow down my pride but look a little closer at my face, & you’ll see I will survive as for weakness, there’s no place, baby, I haven’t tried if there were a lack of aftertaste, I just wouldn’t feel alive I keep on searching for answers to questions that aren’t even there if I stop looking, I’d be so afraid that I might have time to spare & that means danger; I don’t know if I can keep on losing air when I am riding on three worn tires & a heart that doesn't care I know that I’m no soldier, but I’m brandishing my sword there’s a bitter aftertaste when I swallow down my pride but look a little closer at my face, & you’ll see I will survive as for weakness, there’s no place, baby, I haven’t tried if there were a lack of aftertaste, I just wouldn’t feel alive I will follow in their footsteps, & I’ll hold my head up to the sky I may not have too much to show just yet, but with honor, we will live and die I know that I’m no savior, but I’m demanding to be free there’s a bitter aftertaste when I swallow down my pride but look a little closer at my face, & you’ll see I will survive as for weakness, there’s no place, baby, I haven’t tried if there were a lack of aftertaste, I just wouldn’t feel alive Written by Jeremiah Clark ©2014 Fifth & Madison Publishing (ASCAP)

there may not be any bars, but I’m feeling confined ‘cause I can’t be there where you are all of the time I’m not one to worry, but I can’t wrap my head around all of the hurtin’ you leave me with instead it’s not over it only makes it harder next time when you come home it’s almost like you never even left me alone we’ll start over again like there’s nothing wrong but the pieces only fit together when you’re not gone when you leave, we’re just another sad song I am learning from the faults you said that I have made with a face pressed to the wall & your anger turned to pain I’m not one to weather this kind of control but when it’s just us here together, you say, “It’s natural.” it’s never over it only makes it harder next time when you come home it’s almost like you never even left me alone we’ll start over again like there’s nothing wrong but the pieces only fit together when you’re not gone when you leave, we’re just another sad song every time I feel like I need to escape I ask myself, “Who’s gonna be there for you, babe?” it’s almost like you never even left me alone we’ll start over again like there’s nothing wrong but the pieces only fit together when you’re not gone can’t you see we’re just another sad song?

History Book 04:35
I won’t let you go tonight I’ll give you reasons to hold on tight other than the cold we’re starting on a story will unfold before too long let’s make a history book out of love that explains the mysteries I can’t get enough of we’ll arrange the pages from beginning to end and then hope our last line is never written you are everything to me and any barter would go unsuccessfully I hear it in the way you speak my name I see it every day, you feel the same let’s make a history book out of love that explains the mysteries I can’t get enough of we’ll arrange the pages from beginning to end and then hope our last line is never written we’ll press a seal on the first page and write our names on the same line coining each phrase as we age to tell the stories in a logical way on a timeline let’s make a history book out of love that explains the mysteries I can’t get enough of we’ll arrange the pages from beginning to end and then hope our last line is never written Written by Jeremiah Clark ©2014 Fifth & Madison Publishing (ASCAP)

awake again, another night the memories of times when things were rational I can’t forget, just wanna forget all of the secrets kept to keep the lines drawn but tonight, I can’t sleep & dishonor runs deeper than I thought when all you have left to lose is the weakness that you’ve been running from so long let it rain; let the water wash away every stain I’d rather not remember, but they’ll stay & I know that there’s a reason why I crave an easy surrender time has gone, taking away all those mistakes I made when I was just a child what remains, so many regrets the warning never said was, “Think before you lie...” even now, I’m miles away & I can hear his voice saying the same phrase “For you, a thousand times over,” & here I am a stone thrower shattering the blame let it rain; let the water wash away every stain I’d rather not remember, but they’ll stay, & I know that there’s a reason why I crave an easy surrender I hope that distance makes it better & I promise one day to read your letters but for now, I’m letting go of maybe, so that I can be the one that saves me...finally let it rain; let the water wash away every stain I’d rather not remember, but they’ll stay, & I know that there’s a reason why I crave an easy surrender; let it rain there’s a reason Written by Jeremiah Clark ©2014 Fifth & Madison Publishing (ASCAP)

well, I got a text from one of my friends she said, "Let's go out drinking again..." & I asked, "Do you remember last night? ‘cause I sure as hell don't!" I walked in the door about half an hour late the same old faces; the same damn games when the bartender said, "Come on, buddy. Sit down & have a drink!" then out of nowhere I heard a laugh so loud, & I knew that it was that girl in the crowd & I guess tables weren't just made for eating on ’cause the next thing I know, she's climbing up on top when the bartender says, "Girl, you gonna have to stop!" but she can't hear for the crowd that's cheering her on ‘cause she's ten feet tall on tequila again you better watch out, better hide your boyfriend & your girlfriends, too; she's a loaded gun of love she's ten feet tall on tequila again she'll love you up until the party ends then it's back home to her family of kids until she's ten feet tall again a couple hours in, & we're on to bar five who says Mondays suck when you got a bunch of dives? & if you look hard enough, you can find karaoke every night she gets up to sing "I Will Always Love You" & it sounds good to her, but I sure wish she would choose the original version, ’cause with Whitney Houston's, that girl is screwed then out of nowhere I heard a laugh so loud, & I knew that it was that girl in the crowd & I guess tables weren't just made for eating on ‘cause the next thing I know, she's climbing up on top when the bartender says, "Girl, you gonna have to stop!" but she can't hear for the crowd that's cheering her on ’cause she's ten feet tall on tequila again you better watch out, better hide your boyfriend & your girlfriends, too; she's a loaded gun of love she's ten feet tall on tequila again she'll love you up until the party ends then it's back home to her family of kids until she's ten feet tall again & she sings, "I will always love you.” & she sings, “I will always love you, & you & you & you. Aww, hell, I love everybody!" ’cause she's ten feet tall on tequila again you better watch out, better hide your boyfriend & your girlfriends, too; she's a loaded gun of love she's ten feet tall on tequila again she'll love you up until the party ends then it's back home to her family of kids until she's ten feet tall again well, I got a text from one of my friends she said, "Let's go out drinking again..." & I asked, "Do you remember last night? ‘cause I sure as hell don't!"
