  Running Alone

I tried running to leave love behind
I tried running but I was wasting my time
Without you here I ’ve got no where to go
Make it clear what I knew I still know
I don ’t like running,running alone

I tried running but it got me no where
I tried running but I needed you there
With you here I ’ve got so much to do
Look in the mirror I see me I see you
don ’t like running,running alone

I kept moving
Afraid to stand still
Love isn ’t proving you won ’t when you will
I ’m only losing ’cause I love you still

With you here I ’ve got so much to say
Try to leave I ’ll stand in your way
I don ’t like running, running alone

Devil In My Ear

It was the middle of the summer I was driving home
The girl that I loved left me my heart was in my throat
I stopped for a rest in some dusty place in Phoenix
When she sat down next to me and asked me what I needed

I told her I was hurting from the love I left behind
And being with her was the last thing on my mind
I felt like she was lookin through a window to my soul
She knew when I was lying, she knew the truths I told

With an angel on my shoulder
With the devil in my ear
When the devil said come closer
That ’s all that I could hear

Her eyes looked familiar, her smile felt like home
I wanted to be with her I was feeling so alone
I knew that I should leave but she got in the way
And I woke up beside her the very next day

It ’d be easy for me but I can ’t love you now
She poured me some hot coffee and told me I should stay
There was a job that she knew of and I could start today
I said,"you must be crazy, no one knows who I am."
And she said, "ah,but now you ’re Mary ’s man."

I didn ’t make it a mile out of town
At a railroad crossing I noticed Mary had tracked me down
She thought that she could catch me and tried to cross the track
I heard the twisted steel but I never looked back

Somewhere In The Dark

I pray that your heart will soften
And I pray that you ’ll change your mind
I ask and I ask often
I always seem to find the time

Still we move alone and apart
Can I move this stone
that ’s become your heart
Can I find us again,
Somewhere in the dark?

Don ’t close the door
At least don ’t lock it
I can ’t find the key
But I ’ll look some more
in this empty pocket
I don ’t know where else it might be

Love hasn ’t died,it ’s only sleeping
Oh,I hope that ’s so
Down deep inside I hope you ’re keeping
A place only you and I can go

All That Comes With Love

I knew this would happen
I knew you ’d make me fall
I was yours for the asking
But I thought I could stall

Where you were leading me
Planting the seed in me
Did I have a chance at all?

Of saying I needed time
Of telling you that I ’m
Through with all that comes
with broken hearts and love
Of saying I needed years
to put away the tears
And all that comes with love

Not when the room was spinning
Not when I couldn ’t talk
I guessed from the beginning
I ’d have to take that walk

Where you were leading me
Planting the seed in me
Did I have a chance at all?

I could have said goodbye
But I would have been a liar
I thought why try
To put out the fire
