Mid Air

I feel poor in the morning, rich at night
Turn up the noise, turn out the lights
Whistle in the dark
This is how a heart burns bright
I’ve got holes in my stories and my shoes
Holes in my pocket full of blues
Every now and then
Every now and then the sun shines through
Always one step ahead of the avalanche
Everything is a do or dare
Always one step ahead of the avalanche
One step away from mid air
I am up on a wire high above
All of the things I’m frightened of
Catch me if you can
Catch me when push comes to shove
I know fire escapes and exit signs
I’m overdrawn on borrowed time
Leave them with a laugh
Never looking back, where’s the crime
Always one step ahead of the avalanche
Everything is a do or dare
Always one step ahead of the avalanche
One step away from mid air
Always one step ahead of the avalanche
Everything is a do or dare
Always one step ahead of the avalanche
One step away from mid air

Nobody's Woman

I’m nobody’s woman
Your everyone’s man
With a drink in your hand
I don’t understand
You brought us to ruin
And wrecked all our plans
Now I’m nobody’s woman
And your everyone’s man
You found me on Tinder
Told me who you are
Thought I was an angel
Here to sew up your scars
But this mother teresa
Is livin a lie
I can’t touch the sickness
You’re feelin inside
And you don’t know the difference, I tried to do you right
But you just wake the devil, you whistle while I cry
And every disappointment, the love I thought I saw
I can’t erase the memory, I can’t erase the cause
Tried to damn up the river
When you’d drown out your shame
I just couldn’t help it
Now you’ve got me to blame
My days run on empty
And I see my ghost
I’m finding my answers
Where I need you the most
And you don’t know the difference, I tried …
But you just wake the devil, you whistle while I cry
And I know no one’s perfect, but man, I gotta be
And now you know my secret, you’ve seen the worst of me
I’m nobody’s woman
Your everyone’s man
Still holdin’ a bottle
Yeah, I understand
You know that I love you
But I need to breathe
I hope that I see you
When you get the answers you need
I’m nobody’s woman
I’m nobody’s woman
I’m nobody’s woman

Oh, Christian

Walking the streets, you roam
Facing the steel and stone
I don’t want you to feel alone
I don’t want you to feel alone
I know what you said
About your troubled head
Fixing what needs fixing
Oh Christian, Oh Christian
I know that you’ve been
Places you don't wanna go
Within, I love that in your eyes I see them
But oh you shut me out
Drowning out the voices just delays the sound
I don’t really care
I know you’re nowhere
You can track your dirty shoes
All over my dirty room
I know what you need
And I know that you don’t trust me
At fixing what needs fixing
Oh Christian, Oh Christian
I know that you’ve been
Places you don't wanna go
Within, I love that in your eyes I see them
But oh you shut me out
Drowning out the voices just delays the sound
I know that you’ve been
Places that you don't wanna go
Within, I love that in your eyes I see them
And I wish I could be
Your prisoner, your remedy
A life set free by sending you to me
Let’s just have a drink
Like it could be easy
Do you like red or white?
Oh Christian I’ll take you on tonight
Oh Christian, oh Christian, I’ll take you on

Heart

You stepped up to the mark
You didn’t let it show
But we all know
What it is you face
And we’ve all got it made
Oh we all make mistakes
But you are just so brave
You can fight it
You can right it
But you can never set it straight
You don’t mind it
Hide behind it
You always kept the pace
You don’t run away from what’s so hard
You just gave all you gave it heart
And we can hardly wait
When everything’s alright
When you’re not fine
We knew you as a kid
But now I understand
What you did
How you went oh so far
While we were backing out the car
You can fight it
You can right it
But you can never set it straight
You don’t mind it
Hide behind it
You always kept the pace
You don’t run away from what’s so hard
You just gave it all, you gave it heart
(spoken)
I remember there was this one kid, Jeff
He made fun of everyone
But he never took you on
Sometimes I walk away
But you never backed down no you never ever changed your pace
For you it’s hard to walk
But we all talk
And talk and talk and talk until there's nothing left but
You could have walked away
But you don't make mistakes
You can fight it
You can right it
But you can never set it straight
You don’t mind it
Hide behind it
You always kept the pace
You don’t run away from what’s so hard
You just gave it all you gave it heart
I’d like to hold you in my arms
But now it’s too late now you’re gone ...
