I FOLLOW THE PATH TO FIND THE TIME

 

TO BE SOMETHING MORE

 

I'M A LOT NOW BUT THERE'S ALWAYS  MORE TO BE

 

YOU KNOW I AM I WILL I'M FREE 

 

I'M DOING MY BEST BUT ITS A MESS

 

TO SHED A LITTLE LIGHT

 

I'D BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU

 

SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT

 

KEEP LOOKING STRAIGHT AHEAD 

 

YOU'RE ALREADY GONE

 

NOT WHERE YOU'VE BEEN

 

BUT WHERE YOU BELONG

 

 

 

GAVE AWAY YOUR HEART TO ME

 

I WAS LOST

 

A LITTLE SHELL SHOCKED AND BLANK

 

ONLY MY ENDLESS CURIOSITY TO THANK

 

EVERYTHING LEFT OF MY SOUL

 

I GAVE TO YOU

 

YOU AND I HAVE ONLY GOT ONE CHANCE

 

TO TOUCH THE SUN

 

TO BECOME ONE SONG

 

ONE LOVE TO SUCCEED 

 

SOMEONE THERE TO BELIEVE IN YOU 

 

NEVER A CHANCE TO FROWN

 

THE MORE I SEE YOU

 

THE MORE I WANT YOU AROUND

 

NOT WHERE YOU'VE BEEN 

 

BUT WHERE YOU BELONG

 

 

IF I TOLD YOU HOW CLOSE WE COULD BE

 

ON THIS PATH THROUGH THESE TIMES

 

THE HISTORY WE COULD LEAVE BEHIND

 

INSTEAD OF SMOKE AND FIRE

 

THE ROCK AND THE RAIN

 

AND YOU AND I REMAIN

 

IF ITS ALL THE SAME

 

ITS NOTHING THAT WE CAN'T CHANGE

 

IF WE WORK SIDE BY SIDE

 

SEE EYE TO EYE

 

NEVER COME THE NEED

 

TO SAY GOODBYE 

FEELS LIKE RAIN

FEELS LIKE RAIN

IF YOU SHOULD SEE HER

TELL HER I MISS HER

MAYBE ITS TIME TO COME BACK HOME

TELL HER THINGS JUST AREN'T THE SAME

I FALL A LITTLE MORE

EVERY TIME SOMEONE MENTIONS HER NAME

I'M MISSING SOMETHING I NEED

NOW THAT SHE'S GONE

MY DAYS ARE EMPTY AND LONG

CAUGHT UP IN HER CRUSH

I'LL DO WHAT I MUST

TO TURN THIS THING AROUND 

HEAVEN HELPS THE STARS

LENDS A PLACE IN THE SKY

FROM WHICH TO SHINE
EMPTY AS I CAN BE
MY HEART DOESN'T KNOW
 WHERE TO START 
AM I EVEN CLOSE
OR STILL WORLDS APART
THE SUN RISES
ON LONELINESS OF DAYS

THE CLOUDS COME AND STAY
FEELS LIKE RAIN
IF YOU SHOULD SEE HER
TELL HER I MISS HER
AND MAYBE ITS TIME
TO COME BACK HOME
TELL HER THIS OLD HOUSE
IS AS EMPTY AS MY HEART

NOW THE TABLES ARE TURNED
ALL I CAN DO IS WATCH IT BURN
WASN'T IT YOU THAT SAID
LOVE IS NEVER HALFWAY 
DID YOU MEAN WHAT YOU SAID
MAYBE IF I'D HAVE KNOWN
WHERE THIS LED
I COULD OF STOPPED IT 
INSTEAD OF WATCHING YOU GO

I THINK YOU KNOW
THAT YOU HAUNT MY DREAMS
I CAN HEAR YOUR FOOTSTEPS
WHAT COULD IT MEAN
TELL ME YOU'RE TIRED 
OF ALL THIS OVER THINKING
THOSE AREN'T TEARS
IT FEELS LIKE RAIN 
TASTES LIKE COPPER
A BITTER PILL
I LOVE YOU STILL
COME HOME


 

OUT IN THE RAIN

OUT IN THE RAIN

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

OCTOBER 2O18

QUIET CONVERSATIONS

WHISPERS IN THE DARK

WOULD SHE COME TO ME

CAN SHE SHE THE SPARK

HEAR ME CALLING HER

AS I LIE HERE ALONE

STUCK INSIDE MY THOUGHTS

WISH I COULD SAY

THEY WERE FEW

BUT THERE'S SO MUCH

GOING ON

YET NOTHING AT ALL

WHAT'S IT GONNA BE

TO CHANGE MY WORLD

WHO'S IT GONNA BE

TO SEE ME THROUGH

I HAVE MY SUSPICIONS

ENOUGH TO THINK ITS YOU

I'M WAITING IN THE WINGS

THERE'S TOO MANY WAYS

THIS COULD GO

I NEED SOME ANSWERS

SOLID GROUND I CAN STAND ON

MAYBE IT WAS ME

ALL MY OWN DOING

OUT IN THE RAIN

NOTHING TO GAIN AT ALL

OIL SKIN TO KEEP ME DRY

ITS JUST THAT I CAN'T FLY

ONCE IT WAS ALL OKAY

EVERYTHING WAS FINE

BUT LIKE MOST THINGS

THEY JUST CAN'T HELP BUT CHANGE

SAD TO SEE IT ALL GO

LEFT ALONE, WITHERED ON VINE

WOULD SHE COME TO ME

CAN SHE SEE THE SPARK

THAT LIGHTS THE FUSE

TO MY HEART

TEARING THROUGH THE PAST

BEFORE I KNOW IT

I'M RUNNING OUT OF FUTURE

RUNNING SCARED AND UNSURE

WHAT'S THE POINT OF WORRYING

WHEN I'M NOT SURE THE REASON WHY

WITH OR WITHOUT ME

TOMORROWS STILL GONNA COME

TELL ME ONE MORE TIME

IT'LL ALL BE FINE

IT ALL WORKS OUT IN THE END

SO THEY SAY

BUT SPECULATION

NEVER KNOWS TOMORROW

AND THE SORROW

IT SOMETIMES HOLDS

THERE'S TOO MANY WAYS

THIS COULD ALL GO
