1. Slow Down​

I’ve been chasing a setting sun

A quiet space where

Only the moon and stars can come 

Somewhere out there

Just me and my thoughts

Drifting into the night

​

Where I can just slow down 

Slow down

Stepping aside for a while

Out of the light

I really need to just slow down

Slow down

Into a better mind

I need better

 

Life flashes 

in the blink of an eye

Let’s go for 

A little walk to the spot

Where the street meets the sky

Somewhere no one

Would think to look for us

Somewhere . . .

 

Where we can just

Slow down, slow down

Stepping aside for a while

Out of the light

We really need to just slow down, 

slow down

Into a better mind

Let’s go together

2. I'm Moving On

I won’t bring myself down

This world’s got a hard ground

(C-C/B, Am-Am/G, D/F# . . . G, Am-Bm)

And even ground like this can disappear

​

I’ve given all I had

Got nowhere super fast

(C-C/B, Am-Am/G, D/F# . . . G, Am-Bm)

And now there’s nothing left for me here

​

I’ve been trying

For way too long

Now’s the time

Made up my mind

And I’m moving on

​

When do you know

When to stay

When to go

I keep looking hoping

For some kind of clue

 

Your broken smile

I kinda like

The way it shines

It makes me think

You might have

Been through something too

​

I’ve been trying

For way too long

Now’s the time

Made up my mind

And I’m moving on

​

Some open road

Seem to say

Come let’s go

​

I’ve been trying

For way too long

Now’s the time

Made up my mind

And I’m moving on

3. All The Room In My Heart

Little one

There was an emptiness before

Now it’s gone

You gave me something worth living for 

​

Like at night before you sleep

When I hold you on the couch

You smile back at me

Such a gummy little mouth

Your eyelids start sinking

You sound a gentle coo

I could swear the world stops

And I’m taken in completely cause

​

You take up all the room in my heart

Yea you do, yea you do, yea you do

You take up all the room in my heart

Thank god

You do

 

Little one

I had a life before you came

Now it’s gone

Never to come back again

​

It’s hard to let go

Of the things I used to do

But I wouldn’t change a thing

Cause I’m overflowing knowing that

​

You take up all the room in my heart

Yea you do, yea you do, yea you do

You take up all the room in my heart

Thank god 

​

Yea you lit a match inside of me

(And you) That burned the brush away

And it cleared a path I’m still exploring

Each and every day

​

You take up all the room in my heart

Yea you do, yea you do, yea you do

You take up all the room in my heart

Thank god

You do

​

...take up all the room in my heart

(Repeat)

4. When We're Dancing

(Hey hey hey hey)

They are starting to play

One of our songs

You know the kind

We sway side to side

Just a-singing along

​

Just a couple of steps

Light up the dark

Ain’t no stopping us

Once the music starts

​

Cause when we’re dancing

There ain’t nowhere else to be

The world could all be

Falling down around me

I’ve got your eyes in mine

They’re all that I can see

Cause when we’re dancing

There ain’t nowhere else to be
 

(Hey hey hey hey)

Let’s sing and sway

Right out the door

Let’s syncopate

Our everyday

Like a dance floor

 

Strobe lights capture

Every flashy move

Stepping through life is better

Together with you

 

Cause when we’re dancing

There ain’t nowhere else to be

The world could all be

Falling down around me

I’ve got your eyes in mine

They’re all that I can see

Cause when we’re dancing

There ain’t nowhere else to be

 

Baby we

Can be as free as we wanna be

Baby we

Can be as free as we wanna be

Baby we

Can be as free as we wanna be

Baby we

Can be as free as we wanna be

 

Cause when we’re dancing

There ain’t nowhere else to be

The world could all be

Falling down around me

I’ve got your eyes in mine

They’re all that I can see

Cause when we’re dancing

There ain’t nowhere else to be

​

When we’re dancing

There ain’t nowhere else to be

The world could all be

Falling down around me

I’ve got your eyes in mine

They’re all that I can see

Cause when we’re dancing

There ain’t nowhere else to be

5. Dad's Song
We’re always talking baseball

It’s the language that we speak

We discuss the history

Talk stats and strategy

 

Whether on the bleachers

Or reclining on the couch

Our hearts are on the mound

Ready to throw

​

In between the play by play

We talk about our day

It is so much more than a game

To you and me, dad

 

We been talking this way

Since I was in little league

Kicking dirt out of my cleats

Grass stains on my knees

 

I can still see the backstop

You were standing right behind

Calling every ball and strike

Cheering me on

​

And when I run back to those days

Watching you watching me play

It was so much more than a game

To you and me, dad 

​

Even today, whenever we talk

It’s like we’re having a game of catch

Passing thoughts

Go back and forth

Unaware how much time has passed

I’ve gotten older

And so have you

And we don’t talk as much

As we used to

What do you say

We grab our mitts

And head out back

 

It’s just one of those things

Fathers do with sons

And it’ll always be much more than a game

To you and me, dad
