Kindiness Never Quits

We could be immortal
Or we could die young
We could drowned in treasures
Or we could have none
We could trip and fall in love
And hope for it to fit
On thing we could remember
Is that kindness never quits
We could be celebrities
And chase after the fame
Fight our insecurities
Just to make for us a name
We could have an easy life
And take with it the risks
We could try to stop the hands
That tick against the clock
Pray to God a thousand times
If he's listening or not
We could shoot for the floor of heaven
There's a change that we could miss
One thing we could remember
Is that kindness never quits

Too Soon Too Late

I've memorized the latitude and longitude
The ever my tether tied to you
Something burst like a fire in the belly of our bones
A lightning strike in the midnight shown
Just enough light to show we're not alone
but I should have known
It's too soon to be true
Too late to be you
No matter how delicate the kiss
Your trace lingers long enough to miss
Somewhere between the distance groaned
The once tethered hearts twice turned to stone
but I should have known
It's too soon to be true
Too late to be you
The ring set in low
Foundation set in stone
Three chimes well be singing
Throw Care to the wind
Like we have always been
and always and a promise
maybe one day we'll stone running
but I should have known
It's too soon to be true
Too late to be you

Didn't mean to fall in love
Cause I never saw you comin'
Tried so hard to move along
But found myself at the start
I didn't think to guard my heart
Knew I should've known better
Didn't mean to fall in
Didn't mean to fall in love
Too late to hide it
Let's not unwind it
Tether has tied and we'll figure it out
Too late to hide it
Don't try to fight it
I don't know how but we'll figure it out
Just couldn’t seem to find the words
Cause I didn’t hear you coming
Tried to find another way
We kept circling around each other
Like the winds of a hurricane
We really should’ve known better
Didn't mean to fall in
Didn't mean to fall in love
Too late to hide it
Let's not unwind it
Tether has tied and we'll figure it out
Too late to hide it
Don't try to fight it
I don't know how but we'll figure it out
You begged me to come
But I knew how to stay
An across the room romance
Is all we get to play
You knew how to say
Every line and every phrase
To get me to chase
But I knew how to stay
Too late to hide it
Let's not unwind it
Tether has tied and we'll figure it out
Too late to hide it
Don't try to fight it
I don't know how but we'll figure it out

Love You Better

I’ll admit, I got issues
You know the kind that follow you all the way through
But I don’t quite have my mind up
When there’s a lot of loveing left to do
You see we got a problem
That we ain’t solvin
Cause some of us don’t feel the day to day
But hey hold it open
Hear the words are spoken
And we could learn a thing or two
Oh I want to know you
So that I can love you
So that I can love you better
But how can I pass by my brother
What of the color
There’s gotta be much more to each other
Than what was said,
said before us
Let’s sing the chorus
And we could learn a thing or two
Oh I want to know you
So that I can love you
So that I can love you better

Eyes caught mine from
Across a deep sea of strangers
Step pause breathe cause
This moment can’t last forever
Time moves off cue
Ticking hands will show
There’s-gotta-be some thing more
We knew from the very start
So we just move feel smile real
The words seem to find themselves
Everything came so natural
We’ve done all this before
Then the moment came and went when
Time decided to part ways
You came in strong like you had something to say
Knew every bit of me, before I gave my name
I’m so glad you came
We, we can take our time, maybe figure it out
Give ourselves a moment just to be here now
Cause we can be more than this
We knew from the very start

Our Love
04:49

I'm mad about you
But I'm just mad at you
Pull me in like the shore does the sea
You and me
Mad as can be
I'm mad for you
And I can't seem to ever come to
Got my head in the clouds don't know
I'll ever come down
Honey you can burn the ropes of every bridge that we could ever cross
I'll be there across from where you lit and stared me down no matter the cost
Our love ain’t over
I can’t stop thinking about you
Honey I don’t think that I should
We said goodbyes and crossed the lines
untied our ties, just to go out with the tides
I can’t stop thinking of you
And all the words that I spun through
Got my head in the clouds don't know
I'll ever come down
Honey you can burn the ropes of ever bridge that we could ever cross
I'll be there across from where you lit and stared me down no matter the cost
Our love ain’t over

Sitting on the front porch waiting here
To beat the streets lights and head on home to you
Scuff the feet hard let the dirt fly
Arms swung open just to hold on to you
Got my mothers heart but my daddy's mouth
Let the words loose never to be heard by you
You and me weaving while the tempers flair
Things I didn't know that would end up hurting you
I want to start over
Let us start over
Can we just start over
So we don't have to stop
Pins and needles waiting just get over here
Steady my hands just to offer them to you
Flowers threaded through every lock of hair
Arms swung open just to hold on to you
Few months later and the thread unwinds
Shackle my feet just to keep from leaving you
I want to start over
Let us start over
Can we just start over
So we don't have to stop

We Ain't Never

You want a fire, I got the coals
The breath to stir the embers
To burn away the old
Wave of flame bottom blue
Light the match flicker heat to beat
your name
We ain't never been the same
You want the ocean I'll drink it up
Pour it out for the two of us in smaller cups
Sing a shallow siren song
tie my heart strings to the gun
Ready aim
We ain't never been the same
I chased you like a River
You held me like the tides
Ohh the rapids came our way
you move me like a hurricane
I gripped you like the sky
Ohh we ain't never been the same
it's what happens when a spark meets the brush
Blue burns low and slow with eager hush.
colored yellow branches blooming flame
With a heat that pulls me to your grace
We ain't never the same
Tangled up in a fiery dance
No need to lead take my hand
We ain't never been the same
