Between The Trees Album

I bet you didn't know
Long before the show
late sometime last year we were thinking of you
we just wanted you to hear
and so
Listen up we'll make it clear
so there's no misdirection
we had you in our hearts before you knew us
before we were in your ears
we were...

...Praying for the crowd...

Here is the song we wrote about you
Here is the song that you can sing-along to
Up until you now youve only listened
So keep listenin and start singin'

I know
you've heard it all before
but you must admit there's something different
something more than just a toe to the floor
Clap your hands and sing along
If your dancing keep on dancing
If standing still and holding on
Give yourself the chance to let go
and make it more

...Praying with the crowd...

Here is the song we wrote about you
Here is the song that you can sing-along to
Up until you now youve only listened
So keep listenin and start singin'
Here is the song we wrote about you
Here is the song that you can sing-along to
Up until you now youve only listened
So keep listenin and start singin'

So the curtains close
and you're heading home
and you're on own
So we hope you know that we're thinking of you...

Here is the song we wrote about you
Here is the song that you can sing-along to
Up until you now youve only listened
So keep listenin and start singin'
Here is the song we wrote about you
Here is the song that you can sing-along to
Up until you now youve only listened
So keep listenin and start singin'

Late night, driving home together
and at red lights we press our lips together
and we're holding tight now
slow it down now
Let's take our time
let the moment last
until it feels right
holding back
and not getting to carried away
let the music fade

Cause you are the brightest star
I'm in love with who you are
And you are the brightest star
I'm lost without your love

We are in each others arms
just like a movie scene
cause as we're leaning in
the light decides to turn green
Me and you together
this is getting better
just butterflies won't do
I don't want just red lights
I want more of these nights
cause baby I love you

You and me is what matters most
It's not the intimacy that brings me
closer to you...

Shes upset
Bad day
Heads for the dresser drawer to
drive her pain away
Nothing good can come of this.
She opens it theres nothing there
is only left over tears
Mom and dad had no right she screams
as the anger runs down both of her cheeks.

Then she closed her eyes
and found relief in a knife
the blood flows as she cries

All alone the way she feels
Left alone to deal with all the pain-drenched sorrow relief
Bite the lip just forget the bleeding

Curled up shes on the floor
relief left her she had hoped for something more
from it
He leans down to comfort her
She is weeping and He
wraps His arms around
and around and around and...
The deeper you cut
the deeper I hurt
The deeper you cut
it only gets worse

Now shes slowly opening...
new eyes...

Then she opened her eyes
and found relief through His life
and put down her knives

Then she opened her life
and found relief through His eyes
and put down
she put down her life

This night, this night just like the rest
these same thoughts running through my head
The same reckless phrase with a different face
They say, they say that I am worthless
But I'm not listening
I swear, and yet
Round round they spin like a record now
Same false hopes built to be broke down
around and around
I'm falling down, again

Sticks and stones
may break my bones
your words they surely kill
they surely kill

This feels the same
complications in different situations
I am holding out for love
Is it worth it
to die a little each day
all for unseen grace

Sticks and stones
may break my bones
your words they surely kill
(meant to be broke down)
surely kill
your words are breaking down now

I would say
Where I've been to where I am
It is worth it
His grace
When all else fades
You can see it
His face
So now...

round round they spin like a record now
same false hopes meant to be broke

These thoughts were meant to be broke down

It's all for hope again

Tonight, tonight's gonna be the last night I'll try
I'll try to get by
Maybe tonight if it goes just right
I started with a bottle
Bottoms up
I'm out of luck
Hope was it's best friend
Left them at the top
Cold hands in coat pockets
Clinching my daughter's locket
What would she think of her daddy now?

All you need is love
All you need is love

A little love, a little love is all it takes
A little love, a little love it's never too late
A little love, a little love and faith

Shove the papers into the case
I'm heading home cause the hands just struck 8
And on and on it goes
Tired of this repetition
Over and over
And not getting closer
To where I want to go

And they say
All we need is luck
But no all you need is love

A little love, a little love is all it takes
A little love, a little love it's never too late
A little love, a little love is all it takes
A little love, a little love it's never too late
A little love, a little love and faith
A little love, a little love is all it takes
A little love, a little love it's never too late
A little love, a little love is all it takes
A little love, a little love it's never too late
A little love, a little love and faith
A little love, a little love
A little love, a little love and faith

This call is meant to be brief
a simple hello ending with goodbye
Then you say hello
now, I am melting
and now my goodbye
becomes a goodnight
I don't mind if you don't mind
please say you do not mind if this call
goes on all night
cause I have more to say
my afternoon was O.K.
my evening was fine but this night
I want it to be the best night
of our lives

Sweet Darling
this is my confession to
the crimes of wanting you badly
And Darlin' if you're wondering
here's your answer
yes I like you
I don't love you
I can't love you
yet

These calls are getting longer
and these nights go on
and on and on forever
I do believe I'm getting better
knowing you
hopefully all of you
Sitting watching movies
we both know I do not watch a bit of it
cause I am much to busy
leaving my hand close enough
so you'll hold it

And I can not stop thinking about you
I can not stop wondering
if you're constantly
thinking about me
Don't close your eyes dear I'm still staring
I won't lie dear I'm still breathing
even though your beauty is breath taking

As she sits in the corner
face to the floor
she dispels smoke from from her lips
and slowly floats away with it
letting go of so much pain
her tears are thick enough to stain
the pavement that slowly becomes
her best friend when she needs to run away

This is your time to weep
This is your time to morn
Not yet time to build up
Just a time to tear down
old walls

Does it help to say I'm sorry
If so than I'm sorry that your so unhappy
This life those lies are starting get you down
Darling don't let them drag you around
Saying "it's my fault" doesn't help repeated
Time love and Jesus seems to beat it
She'll find out this is harder than
Taking medicine

We're still waiting for the fire
Seeing smoke and waiting for the fire

She opens up my bedroom door
she's waking me up soon
"i'm turning on the light" she warns
it's the little things that you do
she's the one that start's my day..
my dear mom... my comforter
my friend forever
when life's right or wrong
she is also my laughter
Yet my sholuder to cry on

choris
my mom is my super hero
my mom is my world ...]

all out of gas no place to go
she knows just what i'll say
she turns and laughs and opens up
her purse
and gives enough for the week
she didn't have to give but she did
it's just the kind of woman she is
Love, she is love
my dear mom...

Chorus
my mom is my super hero
my mom is my world...]

Love is an action that she shows me often.
even when it's not in her kisses
blessed with a mom who puts herself after her children.
it dosen't get much better than priceless...

Chorus
my mom is my super hero
my mom is my world...]

The tide rolled in not a breath in sight
And this town went down like the moon at night
These poor rooftops only go so high
The volume of our bodies is causing the waters to rise

Why do we cry out only when things go wrong?
How would you feel if I only sang sad songs?

The gavel slams the verdict is in
And the jury find you guilty for the things that you did
You're scared for your life, so you turn to the man
The man that holds your life in the palm of his hands.
And your heart starts racing like a bullet from the gun
And you can feel it in your chest, it's affecting your lungs
This breath that you're taking's getting harder to take
Why did it take so long to wake up?

Why do we cry out only when things go wrong?
How would you feel if I only sang sad songs?

Until now
You have been facing
Everything on your own
Up till tonight

Wake up and remember
Where you came from
To get through tonight

Why do we cry out only when things go wrong?
How would you feel if I only sang sad songs?

Until now
You have been facing
Everything on your own
Up till tonight

Wake up and remember
Where you came from
To get through tonight

If we had one opportunity, one chance just a chance to go and find ourselves (like when we were young, when we were)
Best friends running through the woods and we were acting like we're lost just to get away for the weekend (just to get away) from the city

We could spend tonight looking back
Or we could try to find all this time spent on barely knowing who we are
A child? like us, is all we need

So here's our chance, our chance to make the change to become the type of people that we've always wanted to be (we're not living by what anybody says, only living by what we've known since we)
We were, we were best friends
And we knew how to get away for the weekend

We could spend tonight looking back
Or we could try to find all this time spent on barely knowing who we are
A chance like this is all we need

I found myself in the forest (in the forest)
I found love in the forest
We just need time to try and find ourselves again
Or just time to breathe

We think we need so many useless things
When all we really need is time to breathe (X2)

So stand close to me
Don't sail away, baby
Let them see your heart
Let 'em see just how beautiful you are

So you head on down
To the bottom near the river
Just to wash away
All the pain of today and yesterday
And you try so hard
To wash away the spots
But your tears
Don't seem to do enough
It's just too much
Well, darling grab a hand
We promise not to let you stand alone

So stand close to me
Don't sail away, baby
Let them see your heart
Let 'em see just how beautiful you are
You're like nobody else, you see
Nothing less than any girl in your magazine
Don't you know you're special?
You're really something special
Baby

So you look into
You look into the water
And there you are
Just the way you left yourself
All alone
But lift your head
And look across the water
'Cause there you'll see
All of us together singing

Darling grab a hand
We promise not to let you stand alone

So stand close to me
Don't sail away, baby
Let them see your heart
Let 'em see just how beautiful you are
You're like nobody else, you see
Nothing less than any girl in your magazine
Don't you know you're special?
You're really something special
Baby

Darling grab a hand
We won't let you go
Darling grab a hand
We promise not to let you stand alone

So stand close to me
Don't sail away, baby
Let them see your heart
Let 'em see just how beautiful you are
You're like nobody else, you see
Nothing less than any girl in your magazine
Don't you know you're special?
You're really something special
Baby, yeah
