The Skeptic lyrics - Brendan James

Once there was a man
A good and honest man
He came home one day to his loving family
He said you’ll never believe 
We have got to leave
Daddy wants to make a toast
We’re heading out for the west coast

Driving US 1
Counting the stars and sun
Turns to his wife and says 
“How could I of believed em
I got the call today
There’s no job waiting for me”
He was fooled by the man and the thought of wind rushing through the palm trees

Now I see holes in Noah’s Arc
I see dirt in the reservoir
I see struggle in the architecture
I see sorrow in the family picture
But I see you and it’s enough
I’m a skeptic but I see love
I see love, yeah

Once there was a woman
A young and trusting woman
She believed in the institution
The marriage of revolution
She was an old school girl
From the old school world
But the man that she chose 
Had other ideas I suppose
Could have been an easy street
Could have been a dream complete
Instead it was a mournful day
Had to turn her love away
And give it to her boy and girl
Pieces of her broken world
All the things that he took
She got back from her kids with one look

Now I see holes in Noah’s Arc
I see dirt in the reservoir
I see struggle in the architecture
I see sorrow in the family picture
I see you and it’s enough
Yeah, I’m a skeptic but I see love
I see love, yeah

When it all goes wrong
When I’m down and out
When the bad things happen
And I just can’t count
When the hammer falls
And the clock strikes two
When I’m the only one 
I think of you

I’m a young believer
With a cranked receiver
I live without a home
Me and my busted phone
I got no guarantees
I got no proof to see
This life is a game that I play
I could win, I could lose, I could fade away

Now I see holes in Noah’s Arc
I see dirt in the reservoir
I see struggle in the architecture
I see sorrow in the family picture
I see you and it’s enough
Yeah, I’m a skeptic but I see love
I see love
Yeah, I see love
Yeah, I see love
And it’s enough
It’s enough
It’s enough
Ooooh
It’s enough

Where You Started lyrics - Brendan James

Yes I hear New Hampshire in my thoughts tonight
Waking up to dream about another time
Yes I left when I was young I needed to
I think about you, I think about you

Yes I feel the water crashing under me, 
flying off that railroad bridge on 93
How I jumped so high I'll always wonder that
I wanna go back, I wanna go back

Separate yourself from the kind that made you
Walk a thousand miles in your own shoes
Meet another dreamer, and dream about your peace of mind
Treasure what you find, words and shapes and signs
Treasure how you live
And treasure where you started

If you should fall keep your hands out before you
It's good you feel how it feels to fall
The body yearns for that moment on the ground
For that moment with no sound

Now and then I lose my sense of company
Highway men and beggars bent on broken knee
Counting steps I'm less impressed with fame and show
They're nothing I know, they're nothing like home

Separate yourself from the kind that made you
Walk a thousand miles in your own shoes
Meet another dreamer, and dream about your peace of mind
Treasure what you find, words and shapes and signs
Treasure how you live
And treasure where you started.

None Of Them Are You lyrics - Brendan James

Black blue yellow white red striped scarred and bruised
Old young weak strong overconfident confused
He can run, she can jump, they can sing higher than you
Make you hurt, make you cry, make you forget the truth
Never gonna get it for yourself
If you keep your eyes on someone else

Nobody started from the place that you started from
And nobody hopes to go
Where you're hoping to go
And nobody out there wants the life you do
'Cause none of them are you
None of them are you

Look around in the crowd wish you could have some fun
Look at them how they win how they beat everyone
Blue skies in your eyes under the brightest sun
Still you hurt, still you cry, still you're the lonely one

Nobody started from the place that you started from
And nobody hopes to go
Where you're hoping to go
And nobody out there wants the life you do
'Cause none of them are you
None of them are you

The day will come, the year will pass
The way you feel it never last
You're treading water now and everybody else is swimming past
You walk a line, a line that no one else could ever find
A billion lines are crossing at a time
Ohhh

Nobody started from the place that you started from
And nobody hopes to go
Where you're hoping to go
And nobody out there wants the life you do
'Cause none of them are you
None of them are you
None of them are you

Younger Days lyrics - Brendan James

Running like hell through the trees
Nobody pressuring me
Younger days

Getting out after school
Playing a bunch of fools
Younger days

I see the sunset, I see the stars
I see the future, oh my god, like a train approaches
It's coming for me

Slipping my Jordans on
Playing some one on one
Younger days

Telling my sister I hate her
Knowing that I'd never trade her
Younger days

I see the sunset, I see the stars
I see the future, oh my god, like a train approaches
It's coming for me

Oh these younger days
I'll take to my grave
For carving me out of a stone
Oh these younger days
I'll never replace
Oh if only I'd known

Hearing my fathers joys
Cracking my mothers voice
Younger days

Filling my pockets with papers
Smoking em deep in the woods
Younger days

I see the sunset, I see the stars
I see the future, oh my god, like a train approaches
It's coming for me

Oh these younger days
I'll take to my grave
For carving me out of a stone
Oh these younger days
I'll never replace
Oh if only I'd known

I see the sunset, I see the stars
I see the future
Ohhh my god

Carriers Of The Light lyrics - Brendan James

Went to a party just the other day with all of you
Fresh off the road and pretty tired
Didn't have to worry cause the ice is always broken
As we catch each others eyes across the fire

Had a couple of drinks and a conversation
About what's going on beneath the surface
Told you how hard it was and I know you really listen
And you make me see it's all worth it
And once again it feels so good to be with friends like you

You are the ones
You are the reason I'm not scared to step into the fight
You are the soul you are the hope
You are the carriers of the light

I'd never write a song this true
Never be me without you

Walked down the hall past the kitchen with the slate blue walls
More going on than meets the eye
Things were transforming
There was smoked and I passed through it
When it cleared I could hear the dance music
The dance music the dance music

You are the ones
You are the reason I'm not scared to step into the fight
You are the soul you are the hope
You are the carriers of the light

I'd never write a song this true
Never be me without you

You are you are you are carrying the light
You are you are you are carrying carrying

You are the ones
You are the reason I'm not scared to step into the fight
You are the soul you are the hope
You are the carriers of the light

Youuu yooouuu
I'd never write a song this true
Never be me without you
