Porch Tune 03:36
Once green but now it’s painted Like I pictured warmly in my memory You’d see me serenely seated Swinging with a tune there trying to find the key Here I go forward There I go back Here I go forward There I go back Once bright but now it’s faded Almost missing the shapes that form from the trees And when I go there it’s vacant But not empty grateful for what’s it’s been Here I go forward There I go back Here I go forward There I go back Please stop me from saying any more Please stop me from swaying back and forth Please stop me from saying any more
2.
Your Name 02:06
I want your name Stuck in my head Played on repeat Like truth it is No other name will I sing No other name will I sing No other name will I sing Just yours alone I need your name Sweet on my lips Taste never leaves Like truth it is No other name will i sing No other name will I sing No other name will I sing Just yours alone

There are many smalls towns that I’m accustomed to But there’s some that I know I won’t be returning to It’s not that they’ve been forgotten I know where they are And it isn’t due to distance for they’re not so far I’m finding as time goes Places do too I’m finding some new ones Bet you are too There are many friendly faces all of which I’ve known But there’s fewer that I hold near the older I’ve grown It’s not like they’ve turned so evil, in my mind they stay There’s just less room in my circles as I go my way I’m finding as time goes People do too I’m finding some new folks Bet you are too

I’ve found no reason For this people pleasing It gives me no gladness A worthless apparatus It makes me feel blinded And so I've decided that I will forget you Doesn’t make me sad I will forget you Doesn’t mean I’m bad I’ve given up trying Now I can’t help but smiling Don’t seek out acceptance Be grateful for any chance They’ll tell you it’s treason But really it’s freedom from I will forget you Doesn’t make me sad I will forget you Doesn’t mean I’m bad
5.
Things must be in the past For you to reminisce Feelings are memories That you one day you will miss Try to catch and keep those For they’re lost in the abyss Retracing trails once trod So sure they weren’t like this These things are best remembered But not best re-lived Don’t plant your stake in soils That are so prone to shift Be glad that they once were But know they don’t persist Things must be in the past For you to reminisce
6.
Sometime Sunday Evening Is when I feel it most Despite my hearing Of father, son, and ghost Is this just a yearning To be where I’m from Stuck between what once was And what’s yet to come Sometimes Sunday evening Is when I find the holes In what’s thought to be So constant, bright, and full How can I look forward Until you are near Cull me from within myself So I become we
7.
I can’t always be the sunshine There are days when there’ll be clouds I don’t want to disappoint you Don’t let me fill you with doubts Please know that I’m am human Made of human flesh I trying my best to deal With what I’ve been dealt Everything’s not perfect all the time But in the end I promise it’s fine Just stay there and tell me that your mine And somehow we’ll figure it out I can’t always be the sunshine There are days when there’ll be rain I try my best to protect you Never want to cause you pain Please know that I have fallen Been this way since birth Look past all my illusions to see what i’m worth Everything’s not perfect all the time But in the end I promise it’s fine Just stay there and tell me that your mine And somehow we’ll figure it out And somehow we’ll figure it out And somehow we’ll figure it out

Is she a dream? Is She a dream? Is she a dream? As for Taylor I would mail her My heart if I didn’t need it But it’s won and she’s what keeps it running I can’t tell if I’m sleeping Or if my eyes are just closing I don’t deserve to see what I’m viewing Is she a dream? Is she a dream? Is she a dream? As for Taylor I won’t fail her Cuz she gives me strength and vigor That I can’t find when I’m on my own I can’t tell if I’m waking There’s certainly no mistaking Her loving arms wrapped so tight against me Is she a dream? Is she a dream? Is she a dream? I think I know the answer To the question I’ve be wanting And it’s just what I needed to hear Is she a dream? Is she a dream? Is she a dream? She is no dream She is no dream She is so real
9.
Not much to say I cannot repay you Counting every day Wouldn’t scratch the surface Of the endless praise And support you shower Never fully shown My appreciation I guess the only way For compensation Is to show someone else Such adoration I know i won’t be Half what you are At least you have shown Me where to start
10.
It will be like it was Except better now because Your new home and mine’s the same And we’ll share a last name I have been waiting And Now you are coming And now you are coming home It will be like it was Sounds so great yes it does To have you back for good Is the only way I could I have been waiting And now you’re coming And now you’re coming home
