about

The first single from my seventh album Tangle of Souls, to be released Aug 7 with a 240-page hardcover companion book.

lyrics

This is a low-budget love song, there’s no car chase scene
No moon falling from the sky or mountains crumbling to the sea
I just wanna be around you, I’ll try to say it plain
And if you don’t believe me, I’ll spell it out again

I know it’s intricate step-work, we don’t wanna rush
This measured cadence and the distance between us
But I got a steady feeling, like I never knew
I’m thanking life for second chances, and glory for you

You know so many songs, if singing makes ‘em true
Play me one where the lovers make it through
When the miles stretch out between us like a hazy memory
When it’s storming on the highway, and it’s getting hard to see
Leave a light on in your heart for me

And if I’m running my mouth, won’t you put me in my place
Sit my fool self down and look me in the face
You know I’m not the quickest learner but I’m figuring it out
Waiting for those pretty words to tumble from your mouth

You say you got so many stories, plenty that I know
Tell me the one where you don’t have to go
When the miles stretch out between us like a hazy memory
When it’s storming on the highway, and it’s getting hard to see
Leave a light on in your heart for me

After all that time wondering what could be and could’ve been
Since I landed in your company the world feels new again
I’m just grateful for the sunlight at just that time of year
And whatever unseen forces conspired to bring us here

So go after your dreams, every place you dare
Just dream us one where I can meet you there
When the miles stretch out between us like a hazy memory
When it’s storming on the highway, and it’s getting hard to see
Leave a light on in your heart for me
