The Exception

Well I know I've seen your face before, in a light, a lot like tonight.
You told me in your 'worry voice' "I,, I can't do it. I,, I'll let you down again"
And I know we had this talk before on a night, a lot like tonight.
And I told you, girl, I love you still but I,, I can't do it. I,,I won't take you back this time...
But then again, you're my diamond
The house I'm in, is early rising
My first place ribbon
For my poor timing
You're the exception
To all my rules
Well I know I've seen those tears before, a million miles and years ago.
Still feels the same after all of these lives that I can't remember.
All my lives.
But I still remember You.
'cause after all, you're my diamond
My shining star of early rising
My bright blue ribbon
For my bad timing
You're the exception
To all my rules

Start a fire

I feel your window
You must be cold
So cold inside
You see my chimney smoke the signals I cannot hide
If you're looking to get warmed up inside
Then start a fire with me
Start a fire with me tonight
I know in my heart I don't need you
But darlin' I wouldn't mind
If you were on my plate, I'd eat you
And make it feels alright
Make it feel alright
You are the lightning strike in an evening storm
You're here then you're gone
I am the driftwood
To crash on your shore
I've waited so long
If you're looking to get warmed up inside
Then start a fire with me
Start a fire with me tonight

Tornado

The wild winds of Wadena, blew me from her heart
Told me in the beginning, she was shy to start
I wish that I had a second chance, to try the first chance again
I'd wait a million years to hear her tell me, 'let's begin'
But oh, the tornado
Blew my baby away
Blew my baby away from me
The rustling wind and piles of trash, that seem to mark my life
Have blown into her neighborhood and caused her to think twice
I know I don't look very good written down on paper
But I'd treat her better than any man whose ever lent her favor
But oh, the tornado
Blew my baby away
Blew my baby away from me

Balance beam

When I was a kid I'd play like this
But now I am a grown up man
So I could not believe my eyes when they had seen her walking on the balance beam
the night
She walked away from me
As if the world was make believe
Arms out to her side like a child
Walking the balance beam
She was a girl gonna get what she need
Even if it's make believe
Could've seen it from the start if you had asked me
But still I stood in disbelief
the night
She walked away from me
As if the world was make believe
Arms out to her side like a child
Walking the balance beam
Walking the balance beam

Beer or the blood

Writing in a purple book
The one you knew I took
I couldn't leave it behind
If somebody were to read what I did to me
They'd run up the hill to hide
It's crazy the things I'll do
And who I'll be for love
And how I find myself every time
Laying in the beer or the blood
I'm of a lineage
Of those who walk the edge
We're people both low and high
We're not the middle scene
We're not the in between
We'll write our songs till we die
It's crazy the things we do
And who we'll be for love
And how we find ourselves every time
Laying in the beer or the blood
I've been called an angel
Been called an asshole
I've been the cause of it all
People not on my trip
Won't see the half of it
So I can't blame them at all
It's crazy the things I've done
And who I've become for love
And how I find myself every time
Laying in the beer or the blood
Crazy what I'll do for love
Laying in the beer or the blood
Of our broken hearts and all of our false starts
For those who are worlds apart
We'll write you a song
Thinking 'bout the one today
The girl that got away
So sad to leave her behind
I went with whats wrong for me
Followed my history
And picked the one that would hide
It's crazy the things we choose
And who we decide to love
And how we find ourselves every time
Laying in the beer or the blood
And how we find ourselves every time
Laying in the beer or the blood
Laying in the beer or the blood

At the same time nothing
03:48

I look at my body
I look at the gun
I wonder
Who's the more powerful one?
Then the wind did rise and she spoke to me,
"right now if somebody'd see, they'd throw away your key"
But under the cloth, I found madness
Under the cloth, I went insane
But under the stars, I am free again
I was everything
At the same time nothing
At the same time nothing
I look down the breeze
I look up the hill
Speaking so deeply to me
A vibration so still
Then the wind did rise and she spoke to me,
"right now if somebody'd see, they'd throw away your key"
But under the cloth, I found madness
Under the cloth, I went insane
But under the stars, I am free again
I AM everything
At the same time nothing
At the same time nothing
At the same time nothing

Don't worry , baby
I don't love you
But my friend, I still care
A good time with me
Is a good time it's true
Don't worry , baby
I don't love you
I want to show you how I once adored you
But you're afraid that you'll feel again
I think I should hold you just how I want to
Once were lovers now we're friends
Don't mean to be rude
Don't worry , baby
I don't love you

All is alright

Crazy molecule energy
Wolf light mountain shine for me
I see my soul in a falling star
And all is alright
All is alright
All is alright
My place in time is the place for me
And when I feel 'to be or not to be'
I pull down the night and string up my guitar
And all is alright
All is alright
All is alright
My path laid out in front of me
Where I'm from and where I'm meant to be
Then suddenly
The heart break is ok
And all is alright
All is alright
Everything's perfect
Timing is only right
All is alright
All is alright
You and I are perfect
No matter what we look like
All is alright
All is alright
All is alright
