New Year's

Hey, today's a new year, its a new day
we can drink our red wine and say what we need to say
its a minute til midnight and everyone's drunk
dreaming the coming days will all be okay

Hey, it's 12 o clock on our watches
as we straddle the past and count a years worth of notches
I'll tell you that rumor the teens used to say
about kissing on midnight and never going away
and we'll dance and we'll sing all night like the rest
it's ending and starting as the ultimate test
and the heart keeps on beating in the chest
of the new year

so you can take back that old new years kiss that you gave me
a year is just too long to dream
never start new years with kisses and wine
things never end up like they seem

hey, today's a new year, it's a new day
haven't seen you in a while, you took to dwindling away
it's a minute til midnight and I'm sitting alone
a year ago, you promised you'd stay

so you can take back that old new years kiss that you gave me
a year is just too long to dream
never start new years with kisses and wine
things never end up like they seem

From Under the Blanket

It's alright

You can come out from your cover
There isn't any other here but me.
And I guess
The sunshine should be on it's way
Just listen to what they all say
I guess it's just that time of year
When everyone is in each others way.
And remember
I know you inside out,
Your palms and thoughts and eyes and smile and heart
so it's alright, it's alright
You can hide, but not for long
I'll get you out, 
I'll get you out
With this song.

The Mysterious Choice

It's always the good men. The brave, the fathers.

The hand holders, driving teachers,

The protectors, the strong.

Don't chase the wind, it's impossible to catch, you'll let go as soon as you hold on.

Its always the the good men. The dads, the friends.

The meal cutters, bed makers,

The preachers, the blind.

Keep his words in your heart and your thoughts to the sky, don't worry, Heaven is kind.

It's always the good men. The bright eyed, the smiling.

The givers, the weepers,

and the too young to go,

His blood is the blood that courses through your veins, and hes with you more than you will ever know.
