Without Letting Go

ANA10755 Bad Taste

Bad Taste

I don't like my name on your tongue
like I've always done something wrong
I don't care for your raised brow
like I'm villainous to you, somehow

you leave a bad taste
you leave a bad taste
you leave a bad taste

I don't like the way you retreat
never own up to anything
I don't like your hand on your face
like its all too much for you to take

you leave a bad taste
you leave a bad taste
you leave a bad taste

my mouth is burning
I can't stomach you
my ears are readying
for all your whispered words
my heart is racing
from your pointed finger
my spirits breaking
what can i do
help prisoner for believing in truth

let me alone now, I'm on the edge like I've never been
just give me home now, oh what i wouldn't give
let me alone now, I'm on the edge like I've never been
just give me home now, oh what i wouldn't give
let me alone now, I'm on the edge like I've never been
just give me home now, oh what i wouldn't give
let me alone now, I'm on the edge like I've never been
just give me home now, oh what i wouldn't give

ANA10754 Missing Out

Missing Out

I wonder what words are exchanged
while I'm sitting here counting away
the tick of the clock on the wall
that holds nothing at all anymore

and I wonder who's laughing out loud
at a joke I once lived to tell
I'd break the ice in a crowd
they would sit and delight in my words

I'm in confinement
stuck here in silence

what i wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall
in a room with smoke and mirrors ten feet tall
id spy on my thoughtful design
while I live in this empty house
watching the life I built
but I'm missing out

I was stripped of my clothes and my face
living like a blank canvas these days
struck by a bandit I took in
who said that she needed a home

boy was I blinded
now I am finding

what i wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall
in a room with smoke and mirrors ten feet tall
id spy on my thoughtful design
while i live in this empty house
watching the life I built
But I'm missing out

my foundation is cracked but
piece by piece i am building it back

what i wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall
in a room with smoke and mirrors ten feet tall

what i wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall
in a room with smoke and mirrors ten feet tall
id spy on my thoughtful design
while I live in this empty house
watching the life I built
But I'm missing out

ANA10753 Without Letting Go

Without Letting Go

Don't you wanna run away with me
Don't you wanna sail the open sea
Don't you wanna take a chance on this

Don't you wanna
Don't you wanna

Don't you wanna dance in the moonlight
Don't you wanna finally get it right
Don't you wanna settle down for once
Don't you wanna don't you wanna

I've been waiting for a love to take me away
from what I've known
I've been searching for the one thing i could hold
without letting go

could you be the one I could hold
(without letting go)
could you be the one I could hold
(without letting go)

Don't you wanna blow off the crowds
Don't you wanna just hunker down
Don't you wanna stay in tonight

Don't you wanna
Don't you wanna

Don't you wanna find something more
Don't you wanna finally be sure
Don't you wanna have that with me
Don't you wanna don't you wanna

I've been waiting for a love to take me away
from what I've known
I've been searching for the one thing i could hold
without letting go

could you be the one I could hold
(without letting go)
could you be the one I could hold
(without letting go)

instrumental

I've been waiting for a love to take me away
from what I've known
I've been searching for the one thing i could hold
without letting go

could you be the one I could hold
(without letting go)
could you be the one I could hold
(without letting go)

Don't you wanna let our secret out
its okay to blow our cover now
Don't you wanna share that we've found
something we don't have to let go

ANA10752 I Found You

I Found You

I'm growing into my skin
watch it fuse to my bones and settle in
i found a face i long to see
since the day it up and went away from me
back when all i had were these six strings and six years on my own

now I've got you
now I've got you
now I've got you
and those days are gone

i found myself in dark places
in alley ways and valleys low
i made a home in the shadows
didn't leave much room for the light to grow

back when all i had were these six strings and six years on my own

now I've got you
now I've got you
now I've got you
and those days are gone

i went searching for my heartbeat
breathing in a cold sting
staring at the bottom
i was searching for a hand
looking for a foot hold
I was waiting for the day break
trying to find my way back home

then i saw you
then i saw you
then i found you
then i found you
then i found you
then i found you
now those days are gone

ANA10673 Black Dress

Well she's not much for talking these days
Can cut through me with her blue-eyed gaze
I tried to save her time and time again
She hides behind an armor of inch-thick skin

So I said
Put on your black dress honey
Dance around in the cobblestone streets
Try not to feel it honey
The weight of the world can wait you'll see
You can be anything
If you put on that black dress

She's up and five and on her way in
Doesn't like the daily grind but she does it again
Always dreamt of Pensacola and its warm air
Staring at the city lights wihtout a care

I still said
Put on your black dress honey
Dance around in the cobblestone streets
Try not to feel it honey
The weight of the world can wait you'll see
You can be anything
If you put on that black dress

One day I think I got through
She put in her two weeks, cut ties with the boots
Bought a one-way ticket straight outta this town
She wrote me a letter sayin things got better

It said
I found my black dress honey
I danced around in the cobblestone streets
Now I don't feel it honey
The weight of the world doesn't wait for me
I can be anything
Now that I've got my black dress
