If I said that I only had eyes for you I’d be lying
And I know that those other guys are all lying too
If I said ‘girl I could love you without even trying’
Then my nose would grow another inch
Cause baby I try for you
Darling I won’t go astray
But my mind does wonder
Oh, I stumble in a haze
When it starts to roam
Dreaming up these stupid ways to spend my days
With affections and delusions
Comfort for a fool
Anything that’s new and far from home
But I play it to the end
My heart counts to 10
And I know I can’t pretend
anymore
When I make the devil flee
When I read my history
You’ll be all I see
I’m sure
If I said that I only had eyes for you
I’d be lying but mind, there’s an ounce of truth
The fact you are mine and I’m yours to choose
Our choices, a the sign, all we have to prove
And I’m lost, but I know what I have to lose
And I’m not losing
I’m not losing you
When I make the devil flee
One day I’ll read my history
And you’ll be all I see
Yeah, you’ll be all I see
You’ll be all I see

Roots

Deeper than I’d ever thought
These roots are
Thicker than the skin I’ve worn
But darling I can see
That which lies before us
Will be evergreen
Richer that you’ve ever known
Just hold out for a little bit longer
Longer, longer, longer, longer, longer, longer
Hold out for a little bit longer
Longer, longer, longer, longer, longer, longer
Deeper than I ever thought
Your bloodline
Painted with the shades of fall
But darling I still see
That which lies before us
Will be evergreen
You say your line is deciduous
I say the fruits are all here just
Hold out for a little longer
Surrounded by amber and ochre
It’s hard to move past what we’ve known but
Hold out for a little bit longer
Longer, longer, longer, longer, longer, longer
Hold out for a little bit longer
Longer, longer, longer, longer, longer, longer
Keep it up now girl don’t fold
They’ll be times when it gets cold but
Keep it up now girl don’t fold
They’ll be times when it gets cold
The warmth fades
We shiver
Don’t let go
Don’t give up
It won’t last forever

Creases, seem to be popping up just recently
Oh, we’ve been told about these creases
We’ve been warned about these
Reasons, you say we’re running out of reasons
To spend our time flattening creases
Spending our time on all these meetings
But darling we’re worth it
Beyond this I see something so beautiful
Let’s iron out the things that the world has folded
We’ll break the mould, yeah
Creases, they were always there but now we see
Beyond the borders of infatuation
Would you go there with me
And pick up all the pieces
The hidden doubts the untold feelings
Girl, help me out if I’m not hearing clearly
I want to be the man you need me to be
Cause darling we’re worth it
Beyond this I see something so beautiful
Let’s iron out the things that the world has folded
We’ll break the mould, yeah
Girl, we can make something that’s so beautiful
Let’s iron out the things that the world has folded
We’ll break the mould, yeah
Then we can take it further

Take Five

Trying to get you on my side
Give me a second of your time
Darling open your eyes wide
Can’t you see I’m
Trying to get on your side
I’m thinking we should take five
Assuming gets the blood high
Trying to get you on my side
Give me a second of your time
Darling open your eyes wide
Can’t you see I’m
Trying to get on your side
I’m thinking we should take five
Assuming gets the blood high
Blood high
‘Been trying to get you on my side
Give me a second of your time
Darling open your eyes wide
Can’t you see I’m
Trying to get on your side
I’m thinking we should take five

My right side, been lying on my right side
Been right, I… been wrong at times
That’s just perspective
And I get the message
Running back to your arms
Try not to fool myself
I can’t take it
When we’re apart
Resigning my cool
I just can’t fake it
My back’s all knotted and tied
from laying on my right side
Baby I’m tired
Been keeping it all to myself
It’s eating me up
Can’t be keeping my love on the shelf
You straight up called me on my bluff
Dug up a smile from under my pride
Now the clouds are breaking
And I see the sun in your eyes
Running back to your arms
Try not to fool myself
I can’t take it
When we’re apart
Resigning my cool
I just can’t fake it
I need your love
Your love

Mortar & Stone

She keeps me waiting like a woman who knows her worth
But she won’t shake me no
It’s been too long
The type of lady that makes her man put his hand in the dirt
Make him wanna build something
The way she makes me feel
It’s that mortar and stone kind of love
She makes me want to build something oh
That mortar and stone kind of love
She makes me want to build something
