Xmas List (Upon Realizing That What I Want is Not What I Want) 04:05
lyrics
buy track
When I woke up this morning I didn't hope to see you'd called. I didn't hope you'd change your mind. I didn't hope for you at all. So when my friends they come and see me, smile, and ask my how I feel, have a drink there for me. There's a lot left to unreel. I feel good. I feel happy, but I'm not sure it can last. But, I love you and I want you to know how much it means for you to ask. If you're lonely, I'll stay right here. This is the closest thing to Christmas I have felt in years. I love you Adam. I love you Duane. I love you Tory, and to Zach and Luke, the same. So happy Christmas, or whatever else you'd rather say.

For Another Chance (For Another Year) - Live from the living room 04:38
lyrics
buy track
May each bell that sounds lift up a heart that's been weighed down. Let them be found ringing out life from the cold. Many our hearts are to mend, but still come these long nights when all hours are spent hoping this Christmastime will come right where we are. Maybe we'll find an answer wrapped inside a box under the tree, but me and my friends would rather be set free. My friend, it's not only about what we've lost, but the grief in our hearts fights hard for it's turn to be heard. But if just for this time, let us surrender our pride, and not long for anything but peace in our hearts. Maybe we'll find an answer wrapped inside a box under the tree, but me and my friends would rather be set free. How white is the snow until everyone goes outside! Maybe we'll find an answer wrapped inside a box under the tree, or wander downtown to the fountains where the brightest lights keep the ice from freezing. Still, the bells keep on ringing, though it's ten below, Christmas Eve. May we finally be set free.

Waste Your Love - Live from the living room 04:38
lyrics
buy track
I was lying on the couch and I was shaking still. The snow had rained away and trickled on downhill Cold winds blowing through the bones of this old house. You keep going, I'm through stopping you now. When the needles start to grey, I will burn them, too. And these creases on my face will leave the only proof. Old wounds glowing in the lights I've strung up now. Days keep rolling, I'm not stopping them now. I hear silent nights are here, colder than I feared, to ring in the next year. It's still a promise unfulfilled. And your signs of goodwill are ringing in my ears. I give up. Waste my love. While you're dreaming of ice freezing, I'm pleading, "Day be done." I try singing, my eyes stinging, "God bless us everyone."

about

This song snuck out last minute. I know that the sentiment is not shared with much poetry, but it felt appropriate to just lay it out there. My friends are the reason I'm here most days. I hope they see this as a gift to them. Specifically, my bandmates, past and present. Love you guys.
