brand new

Our eyes met I said hi and then goodbye
But you stayed in my head all night
There you were like a dream out of the blue
Fate’s hand weaving me closer to you

I threw my arms around you tight
Where have you been I asked with a smile
You looked at me and froze in place
What the  who hurt your face
And in your gaze I felt brand new

We sat down talked like the world stood still
You leaned in close listened to every spill
You made me feel like I was worth the stars
Fixed my cracks and healed my scars



Our first kiss knocked the air from my lungs
Like every song I’d never sung
You held me like I was your world
A mess of a heart you gently unfurled

I threw my arms around you tight
Where have you been I asked with a smile
You looked at me and froze in place
What the  who hurt your face
And in your gaze I felt brand new

Same moon

Two weeks without you broke me, your shadow filled my room
Thoughts of you beside her had me staring at the moon
I kept my phone on silent, yet your name stayed in my head
Then I heard your voice again, and every heartbeat fled

Are you looking up right now, beneath that distant sky?
Same moon, a different town, while I wonder why
Why you let me fall away when I still feel you near
Why the silence speaks so loudly when I need you here

I heard you’re back in town now, but still you never call
Then I saw that picture, and it hit me like a wall
You with that careless smile, a story left untold
Maybe you left that trail for me to find my way back home

If it’s meant to be us, why are you making me wait?
Say the words you’re holding back before it is too late
I don’t want the almost, I don’t want the maybes
Tell me that you felt it too, tell me you still crave me

Are you looking at the moon too, wondering what I do?
Do you feel me somewhere there, still reaching out to you?
If you’re on the other side, beneath that same night sky
Come back to me, my love, don’t leave this love behind

Because two weeks without you showed me what is true
No matter where I wander, my heart still leads to you
So if you’re looking at the moon, let it carry this tonight
Come back to me, baby, and make our wrongs feel right

Paranoid Thoughts

Your mind’s racing
Scared to feel the hurt again
Every shadow
Looks like I’m walking away
You’re shaking in my arms
Saying you don’t trust your brain
That I don’t love you
That I don’t wanna stay

I see the storm
Running through your body
You’re at the door
Saying you can’t do this
I’m on the floor
Holding back my begging
Wondering how we got here

Paranoid thoughts say I don’t love you
But I’m still here
Holding on to you
I will suffer every heartbreak
Every time you turn and run
Every escape
Every return
I won’t give up
Till your paranoid thoughts stop


You’re about to run
’Cause you don’t know what else to do
I’m in the kitchen light
Crying
Thinking only of you
Asking myself
Over and over again
How do I hold you
When you’re fighting my hands


I wear your worry
Like it’s my own skin
I feel you shaking
Before you let me in
I wish I could
Take your mind and slow it
Pull you out that spiral



If you go
If you come back (I’m here)
I’ll be right where you left me
Intact
Let your fear crash into my chest
Let it break me
I’ll love you through the mess (yeah)

Your mind’s racing
But I’m not letting go
I’ll hold the hurt
Till your thoughts lose control of you no more

The moon between us

Two weeks without you broke me
Your shadow in my room
Thoughts of her by your side
Had me staring at the moon

I kept my phone on silent
Still heard your name in my head
When I heard your voice, baby
My heart skipped dead

Are you looking up right now?
Same moon, different town
Tell me what it means
When you let me fall down


Are you looking at the moon too?
Are you thinking what I do?
Me and you
Me and you

Do you love me, do you care?
Are you feeling me out there?
Me and you
Me and you (me and you)

I hear you’re back in town now
And still you don’t call
Then I saw that picture
And it hit me like a wall

You and that Trollope smile
Like a plan I wasn’t shown
But maybe you left that trail
So I could find my way home

If it’s meant to be us
Why you making me wait?
Say the word, baby
Don’t make my heart break

Are you looking at the moon too?
Are you thinking what I do?
Me and you
Me and you

Do you love me, do you care?
Are you feeling me out there?
Me and you
Me and you (me and you)

I don’t want the almost
I don’t want the maybes
Say you felt it too
Say you’ve been missing me

If you’re on the other side
Looking through the same sky
Come back to me, baby
Come back tonight


Are you looking at the moon too?
Are you thinking what I do?
Me and you
Me and you

Do you love me, do you care?
Are you feeling me out there?
Me and you
Me and you (me and you)
