Hey Magnolia
I know they stole your Heart when we were young You had big dreams
To be a fashion queen
And leave your mark

I hope life doesn't bring you down
You probably learned
What you do comes back around
And most of all I pray your heart
Has found its way to fly
Because were just kids
Staying young until we die

Hey there Justine
Are you still dancing
You could always move your feet
To any music
You'd just smile
And then feel the beat

I hope life hasn't brought you down
You've probably learned
What you do comes back around
And most of all I pray your heart
Has found its way to fly
Because we're just kids
Staying young until we die

And no matter what you do
Don't ever lose
The spark I saw in your eyes
The world will try and say
You're a type a kind a race
But dreams only need what's inside
When the going gets hard
And you lose the fire
To be who you know you meant to be
Take a deep breath in
Choose to jump again
Cause the world needs
Children more than men

Hey there mom and dad
Do I make you sad
Well it's all I know
I don't want the finer things
I just want to sit and sing
And when awake I'm gonna dream

I hope life hasn't brought you down
You were right what I do comes back around
Most of all I pray your hearts
Found their way to fly
Cause we can be kids
Staying young until we die

Love at first sight
When I looked in those eyes All those years ago
Trips to Virgina
So grandma could meet ya
To starting a family on our own

A few years later
A couple hairs grayer
Your still my favorite one to hold
Coffee and red wine
To turning down invites
And spend an evening on our own

Your like a firework
In the night city sky
On the 4th of July
I laugh and I cry
I come alive
From the love that seeps inside

25 years is pretty good but I think we could do better
I want a couple more chilly nights cuddled up in our favorite sweaters
These old tires got a few more miles left to drive this coast
Holding your hand living life is what I come to love the most

And who knows where life will take us I don’t really know
But I got a feeling
The best is yet to show
And I kept all the memories
Stored up in my heart
But there’s still room to make more like we did from the start

And who knows where life will take us I don’t really know
But I got a feeling
The best is yet to show
And I kept all the memories
Stored up in my heart
But there’s room to make more like we did from the start

25 years is pretty good but I think we could do better
I want a couple more chilly nights cuddled up in our favorite sweaters
These old tires got a few more miles left to drive this coast
Holding your hand living life is what I come to love the most

Your grace will be enough
When my eyes can't see
What you have prepared for me
Your grace will be enough
Strength is rising
As I wait patiently
Your words they comfort me
Strength is rising

Lift up your heads you weary souls
Our God is not done yet
Our king will come with the morning light
Bringing joy to the darkest of nights

Carry on all you pilgrims
Don't lose heart for the journey is long
At the end of your wonderings
Lift your hands and bless the lord
Carry on all you pilgrims
Don't lose heart his strength will still come
At the end of your wonderings
You'll see the grace that he giveth and giveth and giveth again

Your word will be enough
When I can not hear
When I start to fear
Your word will be enough
Your voice will lead me in
When I can't escape
To the quiet place
Your voice will lead me in

Lift up your heads you weary souls
Our God is not done yet
Our king will come in the morning light
Bringing joy to the darkest of nights

Carry on all you pilgrims
Don't lose heart for the journey is long
At the end of your wonderings
Lift your hands and bless the lord
Carry on all you pilgrims
Don't lose heart his strength will still come
At the end of your wonderings
You'll see the grace that he giveth and giveth and giveth again

Set your face to Zion and see
Great things has our God yet to bring
With every step I will choose to believe
That your promise is unraveling

God I messed up again
I didn't pay your preachers ten
I gave it to someone in need
Does that mean you won't bless me
God I'm trying hard
Not to curse in my car
Even when the traffics bad
Did you ever get really mad

I'm on my way to church
I'm gonna sing songs even if it hurts
But honestly
I feel you more when I leave
I can't figure out quite why
All of the smoke and the lights
Don't bring me closer to
This real world's walking and talking to you

God I missed this time
I slept in till nine
Instead, I got down on my knees
I just tried to hear you breathe
God I'm a little scared
To say what goes on in there
Feels more like a movie scene
Like a tithing experience

I'm on my way to church
I'm gonna sing songs even if it hurts
But honestly
I feel you more when I leave
I can't figure out quite why
All of the smoke and the lights
Don't bring me closer to
This real world's walking and talking to you

And I don't want to accuse what you love
If it's important to you then make it important to me
But there's just some things that I can't quite understand
If you made the world
Then why does church feel made by man

But I'm on my way to church
Gonna sing songs even when it hurts
But honestly
I feel you more when I leave
I can't figure out quite why
All of the smoke and the lights
Don't bring me closer to
This real world's walking and talking to you

Girl I know your friends think that we're crazy
But they just haven't seen love this plainly
When they ask what on earth is going on
Just tune your record in and play this song

‘Cause to me our love is like an old fashioned
Finest whiskey poured out in our glasses
But you are something sweet
Sip you slow then repeat
You're the habit I thought I could beat
But old fashioned love's got ahold of me

Baby I don't care I don't think I'd even mind
Between holding your hand what I'm feeling and the bottles of wine
Cause you just might be something that could stick
Well at least I'd put my money down on it

‘Cause to me our love is like an old fashioned
Finest whiskey poured out in our glasses
But you are something sweet
Sip you slow then repeat
You're the habit I thought I could beat
But old fashioned love's got ahold of me

We've had pain and lovers go
We've been around enough to know
That what this world really needs is something like you and me
Bitter with a touch of sweet
Cold but it goes down with ease
Old fashioned love is what this world really needs

Old fashioned love
Old fashioned love
Yeah

‘Cause to me our love is like an old fashioned
Finest whiskey poured out in our glasses
But you are something sweet
Sip you slow then repeat
You're the habit I thought I could beat
But old fashioned love's got ahold of me

Do you ever think about it
How people fall in love
It's not the way that they look
That's for movies and books
But it's a feeling that creeps inside

It ain't the fancy kind
It just builds over time
And holds a spirit together when in tears

It's what I got inside
It's what I'll live and I'll try
To give you all of my life

Honey I'll love you like the real thing
Where your wrinkles and your scares
You don't have to hide them
They tell me something about your heart
And the places on your back leg
That you say need surgery
I'll kiss and say it’s beautiful
Until you start to believe

Have you ever stopped to notice
How two hearts become one
They can see what they feel
Hear what they mean
It's something that just can't be explained

It ain't the fancy kind
It just builds over time
And holds a spirit together when in tears

It's what I got inside
It's what I'll live and I'll try
To give you all of my life

I'll love you like the real thing
Where your wrinkles and your scares
You don't have to hide them
They tell me something about your heart
And the places on your back leg
That you say need surgery
I'll kiss and say it’s beautiful
Until you start to believe

Honey I'll love you like the real thing yea

Honey I'll love you like the real thing
Where your wrinkles and your scares
You don't have to hide them
They tell me something about your heart
And the places on your back leg
That you say need surgery
I'll kiss and say it’s beautiful
Until you start to believe

Lunch dates and coffee breaks
Tuesdays and random dates
It’s how we live the worst days of our lives

Your sister doesn’t like me
Much your father thinks that I’m nut
Your son and daughter just don’t want to choose

I think it’s time to get away and see
There’s a big ‘ol world and it’s calling you and me
Seattle’s cold and I don’t like New Orleans
There’s a place I know would fit for you and me

Lets go to Carolina we could start a new life
Your already my best friend why don’t you be new wife
I don’t like living, you don’t have much to trust in
Your scared to love again and I don’t want to miss the blessing in Carolina

The weathers nice and the leaves still turn
We could settle down and kids could learn
That home isn’t a place but a feeling

There’s American pride and southern charm
Sunday school and lots of arms
We could spend the rest of our lives

Lets go to Carolina we could start a new life
Your already my best friend why don’t you be new wife
I don’t like living, you don’t have much to trust in
Your scared to love again and I don’t want to miss the blessing in Carolina

Truthfully I don’t care what you do or what you wear
If I catch you drinking coffee from my cup
‘Cause when you look me in the eyes, our whole worlds stop inside
And I can’t see myself anywhere without you

Lets go to Carolina we could start a new life
Your already my best friend why don’t you be new wife
I don’t like living, you don’t have much to trust in
Your scared to love again and I don’t want to miss the blessing in Carolina

I can’t put it into words
I sit back and watch you hurt
See the world pass you by
Keep your head up but fake a smile
There’s something bout the way you look
Making sense of what this life took
You wear your heart on your sleeve
I hate that it's pulling me

To come a little closer
Start to think it over
I think i'd like to know her
And see

Are you lonely tonight I can change that
Not a lover but I hate that
You’re alone staring at your phone
Asking the good lord what went wrong
A bottle of wine to your favorite song
Girl don’t change your tone
I won't let you be alone

You say you’re broken but I am too
I know that love would look good on you
We don't want perfect anymore
Just someone to shut the door
And turn the lights down low
The feel of passion grow
There's beauty in letting go
To the feeling

Are you lonely tonight I can change that
Not a lover but I hate that
You’re alone staring at your phone
Asking the good lord what went wrong
A bottle of wine and your favorite song
Girl don’t change your tone
I won't let you be alone

‘Cause this life better when there's someone to hold
We forget the pain and the cold
And I’m craving you like a love of old
Who’s to say what comes next
We gave up looking for the best
But with you, i’d give it one more test

Jesus please don't be mad
I know that it makes you sad
When I simply don't obey
I tried my best I like to say

And Jesus please hold on
When I simply don't have a song
And my heart cant give you praise
It doesn't care to even sing your name

But I still believe
That your bigger than these things
And when I don't find what to say
Somehow you know and you love me the same

Jesus are you even real
Sometimes I pray but I still can't feel
The peace that you claim
You would give when we had a hard day

I know I really shouldn't ask
But do you record all my bads
Will they put me in hell
Is that just a myth that preachers sell

I still believe
That your bigger than my unbelief
And when I don't know what to say
Somehow you know and you love me the same

Jesus I'll keep trusting you
Always because I want too
But there's no where else to go
Your words feel different this much I know
And I'll try my very best
At times it feels like life is just a test
Like we were destined just to fail
Did you feel bad is that why you tore the veil

But I still believe
That your bigger than these things
And when I don't find what to say
Somehow you know and you love me the same

You spoke my name and life began
Breathe filled dust and sand
Felt you in the cool of the night
Saw you in the newly made sky
And you were mine

Take me back to the Garden
Where it all began
Take me back to the Garden
We were walking hand in hand
My eyes were filled with wonder
My heart was filled with peace
Lost by the mystery
It's all that I could see
Take me back to the Garden
And dance with me

Made in your perfect design
Pure in heart and mind
Known by your loving eyes
Held in heavens divine
And you are mine

Take me back to the Garden
Where it all began
Take me back to the Garden
We were walking hand in hand
My eyes were filled with wonder
My heart was filled with peace
Captured by the mystery
It's all that I could see
Take me back to the Garden
And dance with me

And oh my heart groans
To find the place my spirit knows
It's the longing of my soul
To find the place I once called home
And show me the garden
The place that you've prepared
The streets of gold we'll walk on
Take me there take me there

Take me back to the Garden
Where it all began
Take me back to the Garden
We were walking hand in hand
My eyes were filled with wonder
My heart was filled with peace
Lost in the mystery
It's all that I could see
Take me back to the Garden

Take me back to the Garden
Where it all began
Take me back to the Garden
We were walking hand in hand
My eyes were filled with wonder
My heart was filled with peace
Captured by the mystery
It's all that I could see
Take me back to the Garden
And dance with me

Time goes by
It’s just a measurement refine
To help us decide
What mattered most inside

But you are different
You're always in my head
I thought time grows us distant
But you get closer as time goes and starts again

Breathe in slow
We don’t always have to know
What’s coming around
Just listen to the sound

Of the longings
They put into perspective
What really matters
Every day that time goes and starts again

Hold on weary heart
You’ll learn to love again
Wait and just hold strong
The tension is what set us apart

A love that’s worth waiting
Is what any man adores
‘Cause when it comes to living
Love is worth dying for

You are different
You’re always in my head
Time would grow us distant
But you get closer as time goes
And starts again..
