Driving back from work Stop at the fountain Look at buildings blur into mountains I don’t wanna feel like I dissolved Inside a well when I was young and I fell in And I don’t wanna feel like I evolved Into someone else you can’t connect with Into someone else you can’t connect with It’s not the truth The devil’s in the details It’s not my youth To get along with anymore To get along with anymore Driving back from work Stop at the fountain Look at buildings blur into mountains I don’t wanna feel like I dissolved Inside a well when I was young and I fell in And I don’t wanna feel like I evolved Into someone else you can’t connect with Into someone else you can’t connect with It’s not the truth The devil’s in the details It’s not my youth To get along with anymore To get along with anymore

I saw a man in the street Holding a Bible and a gun Under the blistering sun It’s all he had, it’s all he had I won’t ever make it seem Like I wanted everything Like I needed anything I just needed love I don’t know how How to find you when I'm gone How to find you when I’m lost It’s so hard, it’s so hard I lost a lot of friends Moving out to the West Or from suicide death It’s okay I do my best I won’t ever make it seem Like I'm living someone’s dream Like I’m missing anything I’m just living for love You come in different frames I forget to say your name I just look you in the eye I’ll never say goodbye I hardly ever knew What I do is, is for you What I do is, is for you I’m so crazy, baby I won’t ever make it seem Like I wanted everything Like I needed anything I just needed love

You came into my heart Like a bullet through my chest I didn’t have a vest I wasn’t prepared yet But God said I was And now I’m giving up my past To deserve the very best My heart in a cast It’s now not then And forever ever more Open up my heart Come in through the door But God said I was And now I’m giving up my past To deserve the very best My heart in a cast I hope for nothing now I hope for all I have I gave my only friend Back to the land But God said I was And now I’m giving up my past To deserve the very best My heart in a cast White horses and gold When the angels sing You will hear His voice You will praise His name It’s not our end And this will not be a regret To deserve the very best And take it in our chest

Wild Bill 01:47
I met Wild Bill and he said to me Son I met a lot of young men But you’re not one of them He met up with me Down by the lake I had a lot of things I wanted to say But I held them all in Wild Bill didn’t care to hear them I saw him kill a man When I was a kid

I wish it wasn’t hard to see All I have in front of me I was there I was blind I was un-free But now I’m with Thee Now I’m Yours The Holy One I was gone I’m sorry, Son Everyone may hate me I’ll find my way Everyday I try my best It’s not good enough for me I wish that I could be You Jesus, set me free In these chains I wear, I shiver Take me out to the Jordan River And please cleanse me Jesus, set me free I’m a bird in Your hand I’m a married man I try my best But it’s not good enough for me Jesus, set me free
8.
Forgive me Take this hatchet And sharpen it Until there’s nothing left I wasn’t around you For four whole years Your favorite magazine is not anything Your favorite TV show is not anything It's not anything I’m not anything I’m not anything I’m not anything I’m not anything

No More War 03:05
I’m sorry for my sins Just don’t make me go to battle I’m sorry for my sins Just don’t make me go to battle I don’t wanna kill anyone I don’t wanna shoot their brains out I don’t wanna kill anyone I don’t wanna shoot their brains out I don’t wanna kill anyone I don’t wanna shoot their brains out I don’t want to kill anyone I don’t want to kill anyone

about

This album is about life's ups and downs, and how it's okay to fail as long as you move forward. It's about how having a marriage can be the most wonderful and fulfilling commitment you could ever make. It's also about how society can try to shape you but you can be beautiful in your own way, but everyone falls short, even myself.

Influenced by John Lennon's 1971 album 'Imagine' & Arcade Fire's 2007 album 'Neon Bible.'

This album opens with a song written, recorded and released in one day (Love Beat.) It also includes a song about how a relationship with Jesus can bring peace and understanding but not without a battle - written in the same key and BPM as John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" (Jesus Set Me Free.) As well as a song influenced by John Lennon's "I Don't Wanna Be a Solider Mama" about not wanting to be drafted into war and forced to kill (No More War.) It also includes a song inspired by a short-story about a young man who meets an outlaw rodeo cowboy whom he saw kill someone years ago (Wild Bill.)

"Love Beat" used in the Official Trailer for The Jump Club

"Growing Pains" Selected as 'Song of the Day' - IndieWavves
