How I wish she'd call on me
Just to hear my name upon her lips
Until then she holds the key
Captive bound until set free
Watch her as she sings
Puts her hands on her hips
She doesn't miss a thing
Her mind is pure her heart is clean
Oh you're the wings on my shoulders
And the wings on my back
And the wings on my back
Does she see my love
Does she know who I am
Because she calms my fears
For her I'd wait a thousand years
Give me holy water and I'll
Never drink again
I tried to live without her tell me
Was I in sin?
Oh you're the wings on my shoulders
And the wings on my back
And the wings on my back

Fast Car

Do his eyes make you feel like you’re one in a million?
Does his car make you feel like you’re movin' too fast,
For the rest of us?
You’ve been driving so long I can barely remember why you left
This road you’re on makes you hungry to forget the past,
And make a fool of us
You’ve been roamin' on my mind
You’ve been living in my head
Think you’d love to stay that way
You’d better learn to slow it down
Or you may outrun yourself
You could've loved by now
I can see your light though it used to be
As bright as the sun won’t you forfeit the battles
You’ve already won?
You’ve been roamin' on my mind
You’ve been living in my head
Think you’d love to stay that way
You’d better learn to slow it down
Or you may outrun yourself
You could've loved by now
Do his eyes make you feel like you’re one in a million?
Does his car make you feel like you’re movin' too fast,
For the rest of us?

No Rush Tonight

I'm in no rush tonight
I can stay until you need me to leave
I'm in no rush to fight
Though I know we almost never agree
On the simplest of things
On the simplest of things
Can you lean a little closer
I can barely hear you
Can you wait a little longer
I've barely held you
And it seems like you're tired
Yes it seems like you're tired
I know we're worlds apart
But I'd love to see you next to me
I know that a gypsy heart
Isn't exactly what you wanted to see
But we're the very same soul
We're the very same soul

By Your Side

Hannah did you change
Are you holding on to
Something true
I don't know
I don't know
When I'll hear your name
And not think of you
Hannah are you like me
Falling over and over again
Each time farther away
I don't know
I don't know
How to run away
From a shadow
Tell me, have I aged?
Will I feel like a child all my days
Till I wash away
I don't know
I don't know
Who will take this stain
Far from you

Steeples

I'm not sure not certain why the sun sets where it does
Rising up again every morning on the other side
Oh I wish that time would slip backwards tonight
Oh my mind oh my mind oh my mind
I want you to be the tune the song that's in my head
Right now only sirens sound while I lie in my bed
Thinking of you and words that you said
Oh my mind oh my mind oh my mind
Can we imagine then we're young and bold again
Climbing up the steeples of the churches in our mind
Asking what's eternal, the future or the past
Oh my mind oh my mind oh my mind
Oh when the longest days are moments wrapped in haze
And promises we made only words on a page
Finders keepers still applies when I lose my mind
Oh my mind oh my mind oh my mind
I want you to be the tune the song that's in my head
Right now only sirens sound while I lie in my bed
Thinking of you and words that you said
Oh my mind oh my mind oh my mind
