Drink For Two

I’ve been roaming down the highway for far too long
I don’t know if you’ll take me back
But I’m running on an empty tank
So let me come back
I promise you the past is in the past
So when you’re away, when you’re away
Do you smile and hope I do too
Do you forget about the past
Just like I do when I drink for two
I’ve been on the road for far too long
I don’t know why I waste so much time
I put the radio all the way up to forget
About the times I didn’t have to think so much
So when you’re away, when you’re away
Do you smile and hope I do too
Do you forget about the past
Just like I do when I drink for two
Im a rambling man with nowhere to go
Im searching for a home
Ive seen country sides on hour long drives
Just to find my way back to you
Im a rambling man with nowhere to go
Im searching for a home
Ive seen country sides on hour long drives
Just to find my way back to you
So when you’re away, when you’re away
Do you smile and hope I do too
Do you forget about the past
Just like I do when I drink for two
Just like I do when I drink for two

Hold On To me

I was so lost during those dark days
You’re simple hug let me know I’d be okay
And as I cried my eyes out you said
Not to have a single worry
The look in your eyes was so sincere
So sincere
Your love is like a symphony
Please don’t walk away from me
I know
We can make it through the night
If you close your eyes
Your voice is like a harmony
To every single melody
I know we can make it through the night
If you hold on to me
Just hold on to me
And now I know the feeling I’ve never felt before
The feeling where you never ask yourself for anything more
Than what is already in front of your eyes
Those dark days were now a disguise
For something better to come
Your love is like a symphony
Please don’t walk away from me
I know
We can make it through the night
If you close your eyes
Your voice is like a harmony
To every single melody
I know we can make it through the night
If you hold on to me
Just hold on to me
Yeah, yeah
Just hold on to me
Yeah, yeah
Just hold on to me
Yeah, yeah
Just hold on to me
just hold on to me
To me, to me, to me
Your love is like a symphony
Please don’t walk away from me
I know
We can make it through the night
If you close your eyes
Your voice is like a harmony
To every single melody
I know we can make it through the night
If you hold on to me
Just hold on to me

I’d like to say I’m sorry for letting you down
Am I still the son you’ve always wanted?
I will do my best to be a much better man
Honesty, positivity, are two things growing in me
So I thank you
For all that you’ve done
For showing me I don’t have to run
Alway from my troubles
Away from the fear
You’ll always be with me
I’ll always be your little boy
I’d like to say I’m sorry for my past actions
And i’d like you to know I wish you all the satisfaction
In knowing I can become the man you’ve dreamed me to become
Thank you for raising me to believe I can overcome
Anything
So I thank you
For all that you’ve done
For showing me I don’t have to run
Alway from my troubles
Away from the fear
You’ll always be with me
I’ll always be your little boy
If I hurt you then I’m sorry
Just know it was never your fault
If I lost your trust I’d do anything to get it back
I feel so guilty all of the time
Just so you know
I need you to realize your unconditional love is something I’d never let go
So I thank you
For all that you’ve done
For showing me I don’t have to run
Alway from my troubles
Away from the fear
You’ll always be with me
I’ll always be your little boy
I’ll try my best
I’ll fight the hardest
To be the boy you thought I would be
The day I was born

Why can’t things be simple?
Why must we be so close but so far away
It doesn’t matter if its my fault or yours
But ill write a damn good song to show you
That you’re my world
So dad, id like to thank you
For raising me as the little sensitive boy
Who learned to respect everyone
You showed me how to be brave
You taught me how to play baseball and how to shave
Id give anything to get those days back
Those days back
I think its time we both try harder
I think its time I tell you how my life is going
because you’ve given me your humor and your eyes
You taught me what its like to be so wise
So dad, id like to thank you
For raising me as the little sensitive boy
Who learned to respect everyone
You showed me how to be brave
You taught me how to play baseball and how to shave
Id give anything to get those days back
Those days back
If I could tell you one thing
I’d thank you for everything you’ve done
You’ve given so much to me
From the tangibles to the intangibles
If I could give you one thing
It’d be the love you’ve given me
So I want to thank you one last time
For everything
So dad, id like to thank you
For raising me as the little sensitive boy
Who learned to respect everyone
You showed me how to be brave
You taught me how to play baseball and how to shave
Id give anything to get those days back
Those days back

You inspire me
You’ll never know
How much you mean to me
Because I can’t let it show
So I’m sorry
For distancing myself
From the days we shared a bunk bed
And made forts by ourselves
You encouraged me
When I was a kid
To listen to the music that I do
To be the man that I want to
You might have harassed me
With our cousins
But ill never trade my childhood
For anything else
And thats all thanks to you
I wish I could see you more
Maybe we should talk more
Theres a phone, and a 15 minute car drive
But depressions got me so damn lazy
Maybe I should try more
Or maybe forget it might be my fault
And just pick up the phone
To let you know you’ll still never be alone
You encouraged me
When I was a kid
To listen to the music that I do
To be the man that I want to
You might have harassed me
With our cousins
But ill never trade my childhood
For anything else
And thats all thanks to you
Its all thanks to you

We fight
We cry in our rooms by ourselves
We talk
About pretty much everything
We partied
When we were younger
We grew up
And in proud to see the man that you’re becoming
When I was a kid
I always wanted a brother
That was given to me
And things have never been the same
Through the good and the bad
You’ll always be there for me I know
Its a give and take
Lets forget about what happened at the lake
We fight
We share a cigarette or two
We talk
About the shitty parts of our lives
We partied
When we were nothing but stupid
We grew up
And now you’ll always be a part of me
When I was a kid
I always wanted a brother
That was given to me
And things have never been the same
Through the good and the bad
You’ll always be there for me I know
Its a give and take
Lets forget about what happened at the lake
And I know
You’ll always be there for me
And you should know
The same goes to you
I thank you
For the bond you’ve given me
You filled a spot in my life that was missing for so long
When I was a kid
I always wanted a brother
That was given to me
And things have never been the same
Through the good and the bad
You’ll always be there for me I know
Its a give and take
Lets forget about what happened at the lake
When I was a kid
I never thought id be so grateful

Foundations

Everything
Is a part of everyone
We learn as we grow up
We break up and then make up
Everything
Is a part of something more
But I’ve learned through all these years
Ive been learning since day one
My foundations
Are what makes me
So proud of who I am becoming
Forgetting all of my shortcomings
My foundations
Are what teaches me
That life could be so simple
With the love I was given from everyone
Everything
Can seem like nothing at all
We fight to make it through the day
We think of the right things to say
Everything
Could mean nothing at all
But at the end of the day
We can’t look back at yesterday
My foundations
Are what makes me
So proud of who I am becoming
Forgetting all of my shortcomings
My foundations
Are what teaches me
That life could be so simple
With the love I was given from everyone
And I know
Nothing is promised in this world
And I’ve learned
You fight for what you want and need
And I know
You can become who you want to be
Ive learned it the hard way
From everyone around me
My foundations
Are what makes me
So proud of who I am becoming
Forgetting all of my shortcomings
My foundations
Are what teaches me
That life could be so simple
With the love I was given from everyone

I said I was sorry
I said I was becoming happy
I said I would fight harder
I said I would try to live smarter
I said I’m not worthy
Of the love I am given
But I said id try harder
And I won’t give up anymore
But if the world would end tomorrow
What would you think of me
Would you be proud of my achievements
Or would you want to disown me
I don’t know a god damn thing
About growing up and giving up my youth
But if the world would end tomorrow
Id finally be content with the life I have right now
I said I’m not afraid
I said I’m not going to give up
I said I was stronger
I said I’ve finally found some luck
I said everything I can
In these songs, and I hope
You’ll say you forgive me
For all of my mistakes when I choked
But if the world would end tomorrow
What would you think of me
Would you be proud of my achievements
Or would you want to disown me
I don’t know a god damn thing
About growing up and giving up my youth
But if the world would end tomorrow
Id finally be content with the life I have right now
