I'm Still Here
It’s been a long time
Well fancy seeing you again
I never thought we’d circle back around
But look where we’ve found ourselves now
All I want to do is just believe that you and me could be something
We never even gave ourselves a chance
I told myself that I would never let you get to me again
But I don’t want this to be the end
So let me be completely clear
If your heart is still open
I’m still here
And I knew
The last time I saw you
Things would never be the same
But looking back
That wouldn’t be the worst thing
In our case
All I want to do is just believe that you and me could be something
We never even gave ourselves a chance
I told myself that I would never let you get to me again
But I don’t want this to be the end
So let me be completely clear
If your heart is still open
I’m still here
But not for long
I’ve already moved on once before, now
All I want to do is just believe that you and me could be something
We never even gave ourselves a chance
I told myself that I would never let you get to me again
But I don’t want this to be the end
So let me be completely clear
If your heart is still open
I’m still here, I’m still here

Same Page
I think we’re on the same page
Don’t wanna have a conversation cuz we want nothing to change
Labels are just simple words
But translate to complication in this social world, but I want
Nothing to change
I just want to say
You're still growing on me everyday
And I just have to say
I’d like to be the only face you see when you wake
Well the other night it flooded
I got stuck, I couldn’t pick you up, just the worst of luck
So I waded to the pub across the street
An hour later you showed up with soaking feet, wait, so
You walked miles in the rain just to see my face? Well,
I just want to say
You're still growing on me everyday
And I just have to say
I think we’re on the same page
You kissed my cheek to dry my tears
I hadn’t opened up like that in years
What are you doing to me?
I’ve been afraid for so long
But you took my hands and you held on
Now all I want to do is hold on too
To hold onto you, oh
I just want to say
You're still growing on me everyday
And I just have to say
I’d like to be the only face you see when you wake

The Trip
Today was JFK
New York City back to New Orleans
Newlyweds and businessmen
There were architects and soccer teams
and mothers and best friends
Noisy hustle and bustle, rushing
through security to the shuttle
So much noise through all the crazy
till you're silent once you're in your seat on the airplane
Then all the stress from the day
all of a sudden just dissipates
Cause when you make it above the clouds
nothing matters until you're back on the ground
Maybe then a stranger will become a friend
even if you'll never meet again
Cause when you make it above the clouds
nothing matters until you're back on the ground
As you touch down
allow reality to come back round
Anticipate familiar faces
let the escalator take you down to your embraces
Grab your bags
and take a quick look back
Yes the trip is always magical
but you've never been happier to finally get home

In This Moment
My parents always told me to be
Whatever I wanted to be
To make whatever I could of my life
I promise I’m gonna try
And now I’m sitting on this airplane wondering
How the following days
Will guide me on this journey
And take me to the perfect place
And in this moment, in this very moment
I’m alone. And it’s beautiful
In this moment, in this very moment
I’m alone. And it’s beautiful
Now I sit on my regular seat on this bus
Unsure of where to go
But I suppose I’ll just go with the flow
I’m sure I’ll enjoy every moment
So I rest my head on the glass
Just trying to grasp how the following days
Will guide me on this journey
And take me to the perfect place
And in this moment, in this very moment
I’m alone. And it’s beautiful
In this moment, in this very moment
I’m alone. And it’s beautiful
And all my fears of getting real
Just seem to sneak right out the door
Because I know this is exactly what
My soul’s been searching for
And in this moment, in this very moment
I’m alone. And it’s beautiful
In this moment, in this very moment
I’m alone. And it’s beautiful
Because I know this is exactly what
My soul’s been searching for
