Still in the Game

There's no use jumping ahead you end up right where you are 
Give as good as you get, everybody in step, all you weapons of war 
Come to question in time, maybe you got it all wrong 
Do you wake up at night in a sweat? 
Is the lie of not good enough gone? Not good enough. Gone 

Throw it all away. It all sounds the same 
You can make it up again but who do you blame 
When you leave yourself in play? 
Still in the game 

Loathe to decide, you love or you lose 
‘Cause every crooked man walks a crooked mile 
It’s your burden of proof 
Take a long and hard look at the toll that it takes 
Do you wake up at night in a sweat? 
Does the lie not keep you awake? 
Keep you awake 

Throw it all away. It all sounds the same 
You can make it up again but who do you blame 
When you leave yourself in play? 
Still in the game 

I am open and I am listening 
Is that your vision coming through? 
Still unopened, boxed and broken 
Is that your version of truth? 

Throw it all away. It all sounds the same 
You can make it up again but who do you blame 
If you always find yourself still in the game? 
Still in the game

In One Breath

In one breath, the memory of what you said 
When it was still dark outside, as you kissed my lips goodbye 
In only so many words, but all that you meant I heard 
It got me through the day but night is too much to take 
‘Cause, I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep 

I lose my mind without you 
I need you there on your side of the bed. 
You know I do 
That’s why I’m fine staying up all night 
Writing a song to say it doesn’t take long 
to start missing you 

With each heartbeat, a measure of certainty 
The quiet is not so calm, the house not as much a home 
Pages of unsung words, how many more to turn 
Songs on a sleepless night, how many more to write 
‘Cause, I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep 

I lose my mind without you 
I need you there on your side of the bed. 
You know I do 
That’s why I’m fine staying up all night 
writing a song to say something’s wrong with me, baby 
I’m saying I’m just not the same. I go crazy waiting 

I lose my mind without you 
I need you there on your side of the bed. 
You know I do 
That’s why I’m fine staying up all night 
Writing a song to say it doesn’t take long 
Writing a song to say it doesn’t take long 
To start missing you
