Flare Gun Eyes

You look at me
So perfectly
At 3 a.m. under the moon
Your flare gun eyes
Light up the sky
I'm terrified just looking at you
Yeah you look at me
So urgently
Beneath a blue blanket of stars
Your flare gun eyes
On the front line
I'm paralyzed out in the dark
With all the things
We did and didn't do
Your shot still made it through

Blue and green
Green and blue
There’s a puzzle I’m trying to solve to get to you
Summer night
It’s date number 3
And I still get butterflies when you look at me
I hope that you don’t mind
Baby I can’t take it
Cause you’re too damn cute when you smile
So baby let’s make it
And forget about this crazy world for a little while
Blue and green
Green and blue
Now I realize that lovers don’t have a clue
So I dim those lights
You look at me
And the closer we become the more I see
That you’re the missing piece
And baby I can’t take it
Cause you’re too damn cute when you smile
So baby let’s make it
And forget about this crazy world for a little while
Baby let’s make it
And forget about this crazy world for a little while

You and No One Else

I don’t know why
I can never come around
How come every Friday night
Ends with me on the ground?
When I should be safe and sound with you
When I know my aim is true
So come on, come on, come on
Come and save me from myself
I want, I want, I want
I want you and no one else
Bright lights and pretty girls
The city streets are in love
Yet you’re the only one I care for
The one that fits like my old glove
And I can’t get enough of you
I know this time we’ll follow through
So come on, come on, come on
Come and save me from myself
I want, I want, I want
I want you and no one else
So come on, come on, come on
Come and save me from myself
I want, I want, I want
Yeah I want you and no one else

The Girl In The Window
02:36

I’ve seen you a hundred times in my mind
A silhouette behind the glass
Where the features get distorted but the feeling lasts
And I can’t help thinking that I’ve been with you before
Maybe in some other life
In a different light
I can’t help but stare at you
And If I am just seeing things
Tell me how are you so beautiful?
I wish I knew the girl in the window
I’ve seen you a thousand times in my dreams
You’re always wearing the same thing
Kiss me in a sunburnt sweater then you vanish into smoke rings
You know just how to wake me you leave me in a daze
Staring at the ceiling
I want you every night
I can’t help but stare at you
And If I am just seeing things
Tell me how are you so beautiful?
I wish I knew the girl in the window
I can’t help but stare at you
And If I am just seeing things
Tell me how are you so beautiful?
I wish I knew the girl in the window

I won your heart
With a drink from the bar
And a little luck as the band began to play
I was looking good
In a worn out checkered shirt
Trying to find the words to make you wanna stay
And I don't know a thing about you
How do you hold my heart the way you do?
But this bar is closing soon
Does that mean our love is closing too?
When I saw the chance
I took you by the hand
And led you to the dance to shake the night away
Twirling you around
Over, under, upside down
There's something here we found something we became
And I don't know a thing about you
How do you hold my heart the way you do?
But this dance is ending soon
Does that mean our love is ending too?
I had your heart
For a drink at the bar
With a little luck as the band began to play

Change Your Mind

I’ll never forget the first time we met you had flowers in your hair
We were dancing slow at some festival fireworks in the air
Used to meet out back at your parents mansion I’d take you for a drive
But that was in another life back when you were mine
I got my mind made up yeah you’re the one I want
I’ll chase you around the world you’re my wanderlust
I’ll rearrange the stars for you and I
If it takes me a lifetime
I’ll change your mind
You’re parents moved away I couldn’t make you stay but you never left my heart
And seeing you here after all these years you still make me fall apart
Remember sneaking out your bedroom window that spot down by the lake?
I could take you there tonight take my hand we’ll take a drive
I got my mind made up yeah you’re the one I want
I’ll chase you around the world you’re my wanderlust
I’ll rearrange the stars for you and I
If it takes me a lifetime
I’ll change your mind
Say the word I’ll be gone
Tell me what do you want?
I got my mind made up yeah you’re the one I want
I’ll chase you around the world you’re my wanderlust
I’ll rearrange the stars for you and I
If it takes me a lifetime
I’ll change your mind

Picture Book

I wish I could spend another night or two
Lying on the couch awake with you
Listening to old love songs wondering what you’re thinking of
Weary heads resting in a nook
That’s a shot for my picture book
Brush the hair off your face and I’ll go for it if I’m feeling brave
And I don’t know why
But I miss you already
And I know it hasn’t been very long
But you mean more to me
Than just the girl back home baby
And that’s why I wrote you this song
And I don’t know why
But I miss you already
And I know it hasn’t been very long
But you mean more to me
Than just the girl back home baby
And that’s why I wrote you this song
I wish I could spend another night or two
Lying on the couch awake with you
