It’s cold in the living room on Lindenwood
It’s quiet around the table tonight
It’s half empty in this house
And this half don’t know what to do

Wesley why’d you have to leave us so soon

We keep stumblin’ through the words to explain it all
We keep searching for the beauty in the dust
We keep telling ourselves
It was your time

Wesley why can’t you just be here tonight

The Glass is at the bedside
Keys are in the car
Your Shoes are on the staircase
And you beating in our hearts

Wesley why’d you have to leave us so soon

We keep waiting for your footsteps at the back door
We keep waiting for the punchline to the joke
We keep shedding these tears
And shouting at the moon

Wesley why’d you have to leave us so soon

The Glass is at the bedside
Keys are in the car
Your Shoes are on the staircase
And you beating in our hearts

Wesley why’d you have to leave us so soon

And I know you’re weary
I know you’re worn
And I know your broken hearts been torn
And I see you weeping
I know your fears
But I am the smile at the end of the tears

And sweet, sweet child
I wanna hold you awhile
And come away with me

And I know your troubles
I know your mess
And I know the words you can’t express
I see your doubts
I know your pain
But I am the answer that takes it all away

Oh, sweet sweet child
I wanna hold you awhile
And come away with me

Tennessee, January
Everything, ordinary
You’re unlike anything I’ve seen
Is this how I really feel?
Or just another heart to steal
To fuel the song that’s underneath
CHORUS:
Carolina, you will have to forgive me
Carolina, this is just my tendancy
I pass another day wasting
Thoughts on what’s ahead asking
What if and why not and who’s to say?
When all I really know of you
Is you’re just as lonely too
Cuz desperate hearts are hearts that need someone
BRIDGE:
I’m careless sometimes
I’m sure that you’ll find
But that’s not how
I want to live my life
I wanna to be sure
But don’t know how to
How hard I try

Baby, you don’t need me.
You’re perfect, it’s true.
But I got love strong enough for you.
If you were my woman
And I was your man
I’d love you as strong, as hard as I can

Cause I’m an honest man,
Make an honest wage
I don’t got no treasures to get in my way.
But if you were my woman
And I was your man
I’d give you my love, it’s all that I have

I won’t try to be something I ain’t
You can’t trace my bloodline to princes and saints.
If you were my woman
And I was your man
I’d love you forever, with all that I am
I’d love you forever, with all that I am
I’d love you forever, with all that I am

Listen close
The monuments are whispering your name
I’m standing strong
Knowing that we’ll never be the same
It’s getting hard to fake
CHORUS:
But as you go your own way
Remember, do not be afraid
because you’re right where you should be
In Capitol City
Yeah, I know
There’s better things right now for you than me
You’re growing up
Those squinty eyes are just starting to see
Everything you need
BRIDGE:
Say the word
It’s all I’d need
To catch a plane
Make you believe

I will not take my love away
When praises cease and seasons change
while the whole world turns the other way
I will not take my love away
I will not leave you all alone
When striving leads you far from home
And there’s no yield for what you’ve sown
I will not leave you all alone
I will give you what you need
In plenty or in poverty
Forever, always, look to me
And I will give you what you need
I will not take my love away

Heard you were leaving
You hadn’t asked for much
Just a strong hand and a soft touch
The miles in between us
Were to great for you to hold

You said something’s different
Something’s changed
From the way it was
In those summer days
But you can’t explain it
And it’s best that we just move on

Go on and speak for yourself
Nothing has changed in the south
But you get a free night in Boston
I get a long night in Tennesee

Said we’d be together
Until the end of time
But my clock’s still tickin’
Quarter past nine
Every second that passes
Second guesses are made through

Go on and speak for yourself
Nothing has changed in the south
But you get a free night in Boston
I get a long night in Tennesee

Ok, I cant look into you anymore
There’s just nothin’ left to see
Every time I try to imagine things working out
I realize it wasn’t meant to be

But I’m ok
I’m alright
I’m doin’ ok
I’m doin’ just fine
I was fine before I met you
And I’ll be fine after tonight

Girl, you’re really dancin’ now
The way your shirt hovers over your belt
Got me wrapped up
Got me reeled in
Don’t let this happen
Don’t let this happen again

‘Cause I’m ok
I’m doin alright
I’ll be just fine
Once I turn out the light
I was fine before I met you
And I’ll be fine after tonight

Why does this happen all the time
Something’s hit me once and it has left me blind
This sort of thing I’m prone to i guess
Oh Lord, another one of your tests

But the way your hair looks
Keeps drawin’ me in
And the smile you wear
Has quickly become my friend
Oh God, I don’t wanna do this again

‘Cause I’m ok
I’m doin alright
I’ll be just fine
Once I turn out the light
‘Cause I was fine before I met you
And I’ll be fine after tonight

Is Greensboro cold this time of year
Is it as cold as it is up here
Your face burns warm in my mind tonight
As I sit here and I try to write
The best song of my life

Is your heart cold this time of year
Did the words i write to you not adhere
Wnanswered call as I wait all night
As I sit here and I try to write

To you I write
The best song of my life
It’s about time I did
That courtesy to you
Where are you now
Can you hear the sounds
As I try to write
This best song for you

I’m afraid I’m the one who’s screwed up here
Have I held back
Have I been unclear
I’ll apologize now
I won’t put up a fight
As I sit here and try to write

To you I write
The best song of my life
It’s about time I did
That courtesy to you
Where are you now
Can you hear the sounds
As I try to write
This best song for you

I’d be lying through my teeth if I told you
That I’m ok
July came, I thought I had it all together
Until you said
“I need some space”
Truth be told
It’s so hard to wait

One eye on the clock
And one on the phone
It’s 5:19….
I’m feeling alone
If I could talk to you
I’d want you to know
I’m holding loose
But ain’t letting go.

We both know that I could think myself dizzy
Right now I’m spinning around
You said, “baby, don’t worry”
But I just miss you right now
I said, I miss you right now

One eye on the clock
And one on the phone

It’s 5:19….
I’m feeling alone
If I could talk to you
I’d want you to know
I’m holding loose
But ain’t letting go.

Baby, take all the time you need
I just want you to know
I’ll be here, waiting

With one eye on the clock
And one on the phone
It’s 5:19….
I’m feeling alone
If I could talk to you
I’d want you to know
I’m holding loose
But ain’t letting go.
(x2)

ooooo….
Ain’t letting go
