Wish on the Wild Side
You beg me, Baby, slow down, take a moment, and make it last
But I want it all now, everything, and I want it fast, faster
I can’t know how long this life will be, you can’t trust time, you see
I want to give you all the love and the laughter, now
Feel all the love and laughter…
Let’s be wild wishes
Wind in our hair, only love on our minds
Live like wild wishes
And we’re gonna ride, ride, ride
These horses are begging us, don’t leave a moment behind
Wish on the wild side, wish on the wild side
I give you love warm and deep, hold you tight, tighter
As we sail through the darkness and the light too
The world is gonna give us enough fight, but we are fighters
You know you can’t trust time, so I’m counting on me and you
Me and you!
Let’s be wild wishes
Wind in our hair, only love on our minds
Live like wild wishes
And we’re gonna ride, ride, ride
These horses are begging us, don’t leave a moment behind
Wish on the wild side, wish on the wild side
No doubt, no doubt, I am by your side
Live out, live out, what’s in your heart and mind
No limits, no limits, we are in it together, in it on this ride…
Let’s be wild wishes
Wind in our hair, only love on our minds
Live like wild wishes
And we’re gonna ride, ride, ride
These horses are begging us, don’t leave a moment behind
Wish on the wild side, wish on the wild side
Wish on the wild side, wish on the wild side

Burning to Be Free

Burning to Be Free
This house has grown too small
This box is ripe with unrest and uncertainty
The writing’s seething on the wall
Gasoline is pouring and the match is lit
We wear our mask of contentment
Even lie to ourselves in our dreams
We say everything is gonna be alright
Just a couple shots and some faith it seems
But my skin is bleeding for relief…
I’m already on fire
You’re already on fire
Combustible
It’s a palpable heat
And I’m past a boiling point, past a turning point
Yearning to breathe
We are burning, we are burning
Burning to be free
Could we just walk away?
Go where we’re not waiting for the cavalry?
There’s gotta be a better place, a better way
Can we lose the chains?
Can we lose the chains today?
I’m already on fire
You’re already on fire
Combustible
It’s a palpable heat
And I’m past a boiling point, past a turning point
Yearning to breathe
We are burning, we are burning
Burning to be free
All those little boxes stuffed like tinder
Burning down to the last cinder
Will we land on our feet?
Are these even our streets anymore?
All those little boxes lit like tinder
Burning down to the last cinder
Will we land on our feet?
Can we keep our promises
Anymore, anymore?
I’m already on fire
You’re already on fire
Combustible
It’s a palpable heat
And I’m past a boiling point, past a turning point
Yearning to breathe
We are burning, we are burning
Burning, we are burning
Burning to be free
Burning, burning to be free
Burning, burning to be free
We are burning, burning to be free

If I Said

If I Said
We don’t see eye to eye
Nobody would think we’d walk hand in hand
Most days I can’t get out of your way
The only fact that opposites attract
Would you take a chance with me?
If I said I…would you turn and walk away?
If I mean I…would you turn around and stay?
If I cried I can’t live without you, would you laugh in my face?
If I let my silence do the talking
What would you say?
What would you say?
We both bring too much fire
Neither one can see beyond the smoke
If I say something kind to you, will you call me a liar?
Does it turn out I’m just a joke?
Oh, will you take a chance with me?
Take a chance with me
If I said I…would you turn and walk away?
If I mean I…would you turn around and stay?
If I cried I can’t live without you, would you laugh in my face?
If I let my silence do the talking
What would you say?
What would you say?
I want to sing to you, but what about keeping my feet on the ground?
Feel the earth firmly beneath me now
Uncertain winds are blowing, driving me to hold on to my words closely
But here it goes…
If I said I love you, if I mean I need you
If I cried I can’t live without you, would you laugh in my face?
If I let my silence do the talking
If I said I love you, if I mean I need you
If I cried I can’t live without you, would you laugh in my face?
If I let my silence do the talking
What would you say?
What would you say?
What would you say?
What would you say?

Missed the Boat

Missed the Boat
From the day I was born
They shoved destiny in my mouth
Like a spoon full of sand
with a crazy mom and a daddy I never had
From the day I was born
I knew I had to get the hell out
Of Phoenix, Arizona
If it’s the last thing I ever did
It was a hot dark night
Cactus in my rearview
Under brittle starlight
I headed west
California, land of promises
I had to reach the shore on time
What if I missed the boat?
What if my ship set sail?
What if my time has
come and gone without me?
What if I missed the boat?
What if my ship is sailing
On the high blue sea?
I’m gonna find me a crew
And a captain that’s true
And a fleet that’s sure and seaworthy
Summer party on the block
Cold ones on the sidewalk
Sweet band playing
I’m singing along
Mikey, little brother
With his arm around my shoulder
Says, “Sis’, hey Sis’,
What if this is where you belonged all along”?
California, land of promises
I need a time machine
And a magic ball
California, landed in the right place
Did I hear the siren’s call?
What if I missed the boat?
What if my ship set sail?
What if my time has
come and gone without me?
What if I missed the boat?
What if my ship is sailing
On the high blue sea?
I’m gonna find me a crew,
And a captain that’s true,
And a fleet that’s sure and seaworthy
Keep time, say it’s not too late
Beat time, hope it’s not too late
Cheat time, and pray it’s not too late
What if I missed the boat?
What if my ship set sail?
What if my time has
come and gone without me?
What if I missed the boat?
What if my ship is sailing
On the high blue sea?
I’m gonna find me a crew,
And a captain that’s true,
And a fleet that’s sure and seaworthy
I’m gonna find me a crew,
And a captain that’s true,
And a fleet that’s sure and seaworthy
I’m gonna find me a crew,
And a captain that’s true,
And a fleet that’s sure and seaworthy

Don’t Take What’s Not Yours
Throw down every ounce and pound you’ve got
Throw out every shady doubt or thought
Throw in every loss or win or struggle
Put them in the box, take your fresh chance
Throw up every ball you couldn’t juggle
Keep up every love you’d love to take down
Hold it up to the light with your right
And with your left hand give them back their plans
Don’t take what’s not yours
Fly and be free
No don’t take what you don’t need
Fly and be free
Throw back every catch that wasn’t ready
Throw back every daddy who said “you’re mine”
Throw hard when you give back your mama’s lies
They’re history, take your fresh chance
Make a name that fits you like a glove
Own your space so you can rise above
Leave off the notion that you owe them anything
Or they owe you less than the truth
Don’t take what’s not yours
Fly and be free
No don’t take what you don’t need
Fly and be free
Don’t take their lies on as yours
Don’t take their pain on as yours
Live your life, your singular life as yours
And fly, fly, fly, and be free
Look up, let the starlight fill your eyes
Pull up tall and see how you shine
Give up heartbreak’s hold on your forever
Put it in the box marked “open never”
Don’t take what’s not yours
Fly and be free
No don’t take what you don’t need
Fly and be free, oh fly, fly and be free
Fly and be free

Nowhere to Go

Nowhere to Go
See the sea crash behind her eyes
And her soul drowning in the tide
The swells swallowing her voice
There are no words for this hurt too big to be heard
With a love that’ll never leave her side
And a hope that doesn't know when to die
A heavy rock that needs to roll
Oh this love, this love’s got nowhere to go
Stack the stone on the stones in the pit of her
And the looks piling on when they pity her
It’s those lines running through her mind
About swimming back in time
The only words she can endure
To soothe her in this world
With a love that’ll never leave her side
And a hope that doesn't know when to die
A heavy rock that needs to roll
Oh this love, this love’s got nowhere to go
It’s that weight on her heart
It’s that weight on her heart, crushing current
And she can’t hold on
It’s that weight on her heart
It’s that weight on her heart, crushing torrent
And you know, you know she can’t hold on
With a love that’ll never leave her side
And a hope that doesn't know when to die
A heavy rock that needs to roll
Oh this love, this love’s got nowhere
This love’s got nowhere
This love’s got nowhere to go

Fool's Wish

Fool’s Wish
Did I see you at the bus stop?
Were you there at the carwash
As I was passing by?
Were you there at the station?
Did I see you in the airport
Out of the corner of my eye?
Looking everywhere
And every day I catch a glimpse
It’s a fool’s wish
I need a miracle to make it come true
Suffer a fool’s wish
Like in the movie I saw with you
The one where the hero lives
The one where he promises
To never go away again
I want to paint a poster
To hang on every corner
Show how you’d look in years gone by
Offer a reward
Maybe then I’d find you
Feels like you’re still alive
Looking everywhere
And every day I catch a glimpse
It’s a fool’s wish
I need a miracle to make it come true
Suffer a fool’s wish
Like in that movie I saw with you
The one where the hero lives
The one where he promises
To never go away again
Every night I dream you return
You come back through that door
No, that day never happened
No goodbye on the shore
You’re well and whole
And you’re not in pain anymore
You’re well and whole
And you’re not in pain anymore
It’s a fool’s wish
I need a miracle to make it come true
Suffer a fool’s wish
Like in that movie I saw with you
The one where the hero lives
The one where the hero lives
Oh it’s a fool’s wish
I need a miracle to make it come true
