Stay With Me [Intro] (x2) [Verse] N.C The first time I got muddy I was a young boy N.C. Ten years old N.C. I got lost in the woods in the middle of the night in the dark and rainy cold N.C. Young and damp a summer camp N.C. I was a funny little sleepwalker N.C. So I didn’t think to tie myself to that oak tree before I fell asleep When I stood up that night not knowing all the while Where I’d end up when I wake up having slept walk for a mile I found myself running barefoot almost naked through the trees I was in my underwear with branches slapping on my face and knees I ran on top the rocks wet cedar thorns and moss feeling nothing Then the moon rose up and I realized I was lost Nowhere close to home for the first time I was alone Then the lightning struck and the thunder shook and I called out for my mom Give me some attention that’s what I yelled into the night Please come down and help me show me sympathetic light I need someone close to me If only for a minute I’m not afraid of the dark I’m just scared of what’s in it [Chorus] x2 Stay with me Stay with me [Verse] I had a dream last night that someone was taking my air from me Creating ten times as many problems as any human can solve They said you don’t try hard enough and shoes don’t always come in pairs They love you when they make you look good but despise you behind closed doors With vague goals and deep cracks it told me I can do better than that Living in the shadow of someone’s light that won’t turn on You see misery isn’t everything And I’m still learning that Just give me the chance to turn my light back on [Chorus] x2 Stay with me Stay with me [Bridge] In the words of my father Yes I’m good enough Yes I’m good enough Light the heart of my father Yes I’m good enough Yes I’m good enough Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh With the hope and strength of an ocean tide [Chorus] N.C. E Stay with me Stay with me Stay with me (Yes I’m good enough) Stay with me (Yes) [Outro] Yes I’m good enough. 11. The Weatherman [Verse] We don’t touch anymore Remember the way that we did before You can say we were just kids before we had our own Started building our home But the fact is We don’t touch anymore [Verse 2] We forgot how to communicate Sometimes I watch you fall And I admit that I just walk away So what is that bullshit why do I do that? Why can’t this dark cloud go away? We don’t talk anymore [Pre-Chorus] And the weatherman said That the storm will clear That this is our year Maybe just maybe this time he’ll be right [Chorus] Before the pictures are gone You’re right I’m wrong Before you leave us behind This is wrong cause we’re right We’re right on the edge of a blue blue sky We’re on the edge of a Blue sky [Verse 3] Like a dark red rose left in the parking lot I’m sitting here choking on words I should have never thought Look I know I just tore you down And my words we come back around just like that Just like that honeymoon I promised you but you never got [Pre-Chorus] And the weatherman said That the storm will clear Yeah this is our year Maybe just maybe this time he’ll be right [Chorus] Before the pictures are gone You’re right I’m wrong Before you leave us behind This is wrong cause we’re right Right on the edge of a blue blue sky We’re on the edge of a blue blue sky [Bridge] x2 [Pre-Chorus] And the weatherman said the storms gonna clear Yeah this is our year And I’m ready to believe that he’s right [Break] Ohhh please be right [Chorus] Before the pictures are gone You’re right I’m wrong Before you leave us behind This is wrong cause we’re right We’re right on the edge of a blue blue sky We’re on the edge of a blue blue sky [Outro] x2 12. Who Do You Run From [Chorus] Who do you run from man What are you scared of though What do you take back home Who’s going to save your soul [Verse] There’s a devil inside of me See him laying on the floor Cut him open watch him bleed to death Now he won’t come back no more I could just stare at him With his eyes so bright He was my safety net He was my middle of the night [Chorus] Who do you run from man What are you scared of though What do you take back home Who’s going to save your soul [Verse] When did we fall back down When do we fall on faith How do we reach the ones who push us away How do we see the light in our time of need All we have to do is just believe [Chorus] Oh who do you run from man What are you scared of though What do you take back home Who’s going to save your soul [Bridge] x2 Who’s going to save your soul Save your soul (x2) [Chorus] x2 Oh who do you run from man What are you scared of though What do you take back home Who’s going to save your soul [Outro] Who’s going to save your soul Who’s going to save your soul 13. Only Lost Is Found [Verse] Anyone can set alarms I come creeping like a fable You ask me if I’m able And darling it might help if you were gone [Verse] But I’ve nowhere left to turn My God is staring through the starlight At the wound hid behind my cheek With the look of my birthday beak I’ll stay and live here in the dark [Pre-Chorus] Hold against the ground Way beneath the Earth it goes around I’ll climb the wall if I am able to But only lost is found [Chorus] A warm sedated kind of love It’s a lonely miracle I stand until I don’t believe my eyes I found the light above [Verse] I’ve lifted all I can So I turn to the page of our connection I need you here with me I’m willing I’m kneeling A place where I belong [Verse] Pain the worst is finally gone Way way beyond the signals I know you’re used to suffering But love will take some time [Pre-Chorus] Hold against the ground Way beneath the Earth it goes around I’ll climb the wall if I am able to But only lost is found [Chorus] A warm sedated kind of love It’s a lonely miracle I stand until I don’t believe my eyes I found the light of God The light of God Our smile will not forget us no He marks it slowly Just pull me in your arms below get out The water’s always ready
