Certain 02:59
I could try to explain What goes on in my brain But i’d have to pretend that I knew But it’s late at night And I’m reaching for the light And I want to spend my whole life with you I’m not certain about nothing but you And the months become years And they don’t become clearer They get covered in water like dew And we’re left with a vine That just withers with time Can’t we just have a moment or two I’m not searching for nothing but you I get so close I didn’t know what i was doing when we first met I didn’t know what this would all mean But it’s late at night And I’m reaching for the light And I’m hoping that you’ll reach out for me I’m hoping that you’ll reach out for me

Mystery 03:25
I was an only child 18 and running wild You were a city girl Came here to see the world I couldn’t understand you But i couldn’t look away I didn’t want to understand you There was something in the way Your mystery Worked on me It was a Friday night Cheap wine and neon lights My hat was corduroy You called me a country boy I said I can’t understand you but I can’t look away I don’t want to understand you Cause there’s something in the way Your mystery Works on me Your mystery Works on me It breaks me down It breaks me down It breaks me down It breaks me down I said I can’t understand you But I can’t look away I don’t want to understand you Cause there’s something in the way Your mystery Works on me Your mystery Works on me

Walk With Me 03:33
Here I am Lost at night Looking for a candle With a different light Looking for a way To live with my sins Looking up at heaven Wondering if I’ll get let in Walk with me, I’ve heard about forgiveness and I want to be set free Walk with me, I’m begging for your mercy I’m begging for your mercy What happens now If I let go Will you be there to catch me Will you let me know That I’m alright That God is real Despite how cold my soul can feel Walk with me, I’ve heard about forgiveness and I want to be set free Walk with me, I’m begging for your mercy I’m begging for your mercy The world is like a desert And I’m dying of thirst I’ve been looking for a deeper well And I’m know I’m not the first To call upon you Jesus But I find it so strange I never thought I’d be the one Calling your name Walk with me, I’ve heard about forgiveness and I want to be set free Walk with me, I’m begging for your mercy I’m begging for your mercy

If I lost you What would happen That is a question That I’ve been asking a lot these days Cause I can’t imagine Facing a morning And not getting to see you first I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait I’d rather pretend, I’d rather pretend That we’re the only thing That doesn’t have an end I’d rather pretend This never has to end But I should know better I should take your picture But it wouldn’t capture Everything that I see I see you clearer So I hold you tighter These average nights are The ones I remember most I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait I’d rather pretend, I’d rather pretend That we’re the only thing That doesn’t have an end I’d rather pretend This never has to end But I know that I’m just dreaming And I know that I’m just dreaming Cause all of the castles And all of the shopping malls They’re gonna fall, ooh they’re gonna fall All of the mountains And all of the big spruce trees They’re gonna fall, ooh they gonna fall But if I lost you What would happen That is a question That I have been asking

I know you’re trying to test me Seeing how much I can take I know you’re trying to test me To see if I’ll break You think you’re wearing me down You think you’re gonna defeat me Well you won’t like the sound Of hearing you’re wrong Cause you can’t hurt me You can’t hurt me You can’t hurt me Anymore Cause I’m stronger than that you see Oh I’m stronger than that you see Oh I’m stronger than that cause what you did to me You were mean, and you’re mean still Since no one’s gonna tell you, I will You can’t hurt me You can’t hurt me You can’t hurt me Anymore Cause I’m stronger than that you see Oh I’m stronger than that you see Oh I’m stronger than that cause what you did to me I feel liberated I snuck out as soon as I felt some slack And now I’m swimming in a lake Like a weight’s been lifted off my back Cause you can’t hurt me You can’t hurt me You can’t hurt me Anymore

Making believe That you still love me It's leaving me alone and so blue Still I'll always dream I'll never own you Making believe It's all I can do Can't hold you close When you're not with me You're somebody's love You'll never be mine Making believe I'll spend my lifetime Loving you and making believe Making believe I never lost you But my happy hours I find are so few My plans for the future Will never come true Making believe What else can I do?
