Wichita
She says she's from wichita
and both her parents are crazy
says she's trying to keep on and carry on
But I know she's further
she's further than she thinks
I've seen her do for others
And so I'll do for her
No need to ever drown
Just follow my sound
We'll swim to shore together
See what good might come
Seems such a simple thing
To get thru the day
well she's magical, she's also beautiful
she's all those things that makes one wonderful
I'm a little worried still
She's a little crazy
If you know what I mean
That's alright with me
cause I am probably just the same
I decided on this course
to change her life and mine
Turns out all along
She rescued me
I needed her the most, she saved me
I spoke to her and said, "I don't understand much.
I'll do my best to see you right as you are
and everything you might be I will not judge
'cause in the end I like you just as you are."
well she's magical, she's also beautiful
she's all those things that makes one wonderful
How lucky for me
Now I'm falling slowly,
Still worry she'll want me
Hands so small in mine
I'm a giant next to her
Her head on my heart
Holding and healing
Though I've always felt
I deserved very little,
Trying to get over that, forgive myself
For I know not what, yeah baby there it is.
Yeah baby there it is
well she's magical, she's also beautiful
she's all those things that makes one wonderful
I know for certain she deserves all the best.
The best of everything,
Love and luck and hope, hopes measured full
and time enough
Ten years are ten days 'cause its workin' out
I see great things, she sees doubt
I choose my fights, but in this case i know
I'm right
My baby is, my baby is, my baby is
YEAH MY BABY IS...

Try
It's 4AM and I'm drunk again
Just trying to find the try
I'm so tired of sittin' here alone
Just waiting for you to come home
I've loved and lost
Loved and lost again
I love, still I try
Well it's 4AM and I am drunk again
I've tried and failed, so many times
It seems like I always go down
And this right here, gonna hold on tight
And wrap myself around my fears
And this right here, gonna hold on tight
And wrap myself around my tears
It's 4AM and I'm drunk again
Just trying to find the try
I've done and tried things most others would
and should not do
I'd like to remember where I came from
and what my family taught me
Year where am I now, just trying to find the try
and go again at something that matters
Year where am I now, just trying to find the try
and go again at something that matters
It's 4AM and I'm drunk again
Just trying to find the try
It's 4AM and I'm drunk again
Just trying to find the try
The try, the try

Battling
I've been battling with my demons
More than usual lately
The good times are harder to come by
The dark moving closer
Ever closer
Not a thing to think away
Not a promise not to break
Being a good man is no help
Might not be that at that
But I heard the other day that
you've been battling too
Want you to know I know your
battle because I've been
battling, battling too
because I've been battling, battling too
But it's just not enough to give in
I believe in you and I love you
You are more than the harsh light
and the mean
I know little
I try to know more
Can only ever be less dumb
But I feel as deep as the hurt I
can't explain
To give up is much too small
It's simply not enough
The world is great and big and
hard and we feel it all too much
But it's just not enough to give in
I believe in you and I love you
You are more than the harsh light
and the mean
'Cause I heard the other day that
you've been battling too
I want you to know I know your battle
because I've been battling, battling too
because I've been battling, battling too
because I've been battling, battling too

Shadows

Please please shadows, come and take me away
Theres a mountain up ahead, I'm gonna
climb straight up
I'm gonna lay out in the cold and whisper myself to sleep
Been a long time coming but I'll be better when I return.
I want to be alone for awhile and seek out the high.
Gonna keep within myself and look towards the sky
with a canopy over my head, gonna take in all truth.
So please please good friends, take care while I'm away
I swear i will return, there is too much good to stay gone
i swear I'll pray every night for your happiness and your heart
i swear i will be better when next we see each other
We’ll hold each other like lovers, family,and friends
It's taken courage and strength I thought I'd never find
still i traverse the soul and wake myself everyday
the shadows cradle and haunt me all the same
for every instance of comfort, there's a voice in the back of my head
Its full of worry and doubt, creeping like a spider on my chest
Always wanting and descending, and holding me back
Please please shadows, go away from me now
I want to breathe in the dust and all things ahead
gonna find the cracks in the gods and look beyond the vale
gonna find out just where I stand and what I'm made of
make my peace for the morrow and welcome myself home
Please please shadows, don't creep up on me
I'll close my eyes and let it all slide by
All things are changing but I cling to the yellow and the gold
The chill night air brings the weight of worry to bear
Your soul's craving is the warmth you create till the last
My heart will remain strong and true as I can be
Please please good friends, I think on you every night
That your love and your empathy will carry you through the dark.
Oh my God, I'll be better when I return.
Yes Oh my God, I'll be better when I return
Yes Oh my God, I'll be better when I return

Down to the River
I'm goin' down to the river
with my back to the world
and a man in a black suit
is gonna come up behind me
and take me away
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
In the land of the shadows
stands an old willow tree
where lovers lie beneath
and the wind and the rain
are friends til the end
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
And some say if your heart's pure
that your love will conquer all
and keep the devil away
but I know, I know, I know, I know
I'm goin' down to the river
with my back to the world
and a man in a black suit
is gonna come up behind me
and take me away
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
