Did you make all your connections
On your way out to the west coast life?
Only had good intentions
When I begged you to cancel your flight.
So what's your bold, new direction?
When you gonna ignite?
I hate to see you making mistakes
And I just hope it turns out all right.
But I didn't come to this bar
Looking for a fight.
It's just another place
I chase your ghost at night.
I hope someday
We can share the stage again.
I hope someday
We can share the stage.
But when you come back home,
I'll be here, waiting.
And when it falls all apart,
I'll put you together.
I know it feels like you
Had to get away to get anywhere.
But you're a boomerang, baby,
And you're running out of air.
I heard you went out on tour
And lost your shirt in the back of a van.
I just hoped you'd get something more
Out of L.A. than an expensive tan.
It must get hot burning bridges all day.
Is the traffic as bad as they say?
I wish I could help you somehow,
But you ran off to go your own way.
But I didn't fly out to L.A.
Looking for a fight.
It's just another place
I chase your ghost at night.
I hope someday
We can share the stage again.
I hope someday
We can share the stage.
But when you come back home,
I'll be here, waiting.
And when it falls all apart,
I'll put you together.
I know it feels like you
Had to get away to get anywhere.
But you're a boomerang, baby,
And you're running out of air.
But when you come back home,
I'll be here, waiting.
And when it falls all apart,
I'll put you together.
I know it feels like you
Had to get away to get anywhere.
But I will hold us together.

Shatter/Mend

In my darkest moments
Sometimes I think about
How you and I could have
Turned things around.
It takes so long to learn
The way to really love
You were gone by the time
you showed me how
The things we say as children,
So fleeting and so light,
Shouldn't haunt you
All your life.
But still I catch myself
Wondering aloud
Why you didn't meet me here
Like we talked about.
Now I'm getting older,
And everything is changing.
Bad memories stay
And the good ones fade.
So why even bother?
I don't even know
What I would do
With another go.
The white linen fabric
Of my perfect life
Is blowing in the breeze
Hanging on a wire.
This is why I wonder
If I see you again
Would I shatter
Or would I mend?
Would I shatter
Or would I mend?

Out of Phase

Two years full of regret.
Burned bridges I hadn't finished building yet.
Took on more than I could hold.
Should've been building something
I could call my own.
Like a guest in your own home.
An inside joke that everyone else knows.
An open room where you can't go.
We're all the same, but we are out of phase.
You can't protect what you can't see.
Now I'm careful with everything.
You said you were listening
As you turned back to the screen.
Like a guest in your own home.
An inside joke that everyone else knows.
An open room where you can't go.
We're all the same, but we are out of phase.

All the Same - Acoustic

You say so much
With your silence.
Just a little bit of real talk,
And I don't mind it.
But driving through suburbia,
I caught you crying.
Yeah, what are you hiding?
You're living proof
It's all the same:
Tears and laughter.
I'm here for you,
Your secret's safe,
Now and after.
You keep it real,
The nerves are raw,
And someday this'll all be gone.
But now we're living it,
And I'm listening
To tears and laughter.
You took a turn
for the worse
With one last stair to climb.
An alarm went off
And called the nurse.
And light flooded your mind.
Was I too late late,
Or just too vague?
'Cause I would have done anything.
But you reminded me
It's really just all the same.
You're living proof
It's all the same:
Tears and laughter.
I'm here for you,
Your secret's safe,
Now and after.
You keep it real,
The nerves are raw,
And someday this'll all be gone.
But now we're living it,
And I'm listening
To tears and laughter.
