WICHITA
lyrics by Ryan Meeking
I remember January
In the summer of last year
Things were looking kinda scary
Down the bottom of a beer
But that was history, just a memory
And now I'm home
In the place I've been missing
All along
I remember in the winter
Every evening in the dark
Tired of never really sleeping
Years of loving leave a mark
But that was history, just a memory
And now I'm home
In the place I've been missing
All along
Wichita
If I'm gonna make it
Make it into next year
I'm gonna make it alone
I will be surrounded
By everything that has been
And all that won't be any more
But that was history, just a memory
And now I'm home
In the place I've been missing
All along
Wichita

HURRICANE
lyrics by Ryan Meeking
Is this what you want
What we started everything for
You've been crying for days
I've been sleeping on the floor
This is more than I can stand
I'm an arrow with nowhere left land
And I wanna hear you say
That I'm good at everything
And I want it to be true
As my heart beats out a hurricane
And my arms reach out to you
There were dark days
When we set out on our way
And our devils
Waited to be paid
Now another day's a year without you
And I want, I want, I want, I want
I wanna hear you say
That I'm good at everything
And I want it to be true
As my heart beats out a hurricane
And my arms reach out to you
I wanna hear you say
That I'm good at everything
And I want it to be true
As my heart beats out a hurricane
And my arms reach out to you
This heart will open up again
This heart will sing until the end
If I go before you
My ghost will hold onto you

EMBERS UPON THE WIND
lyrics by Ryan Meeking
Oh no, sinking in
So low, pushed to the edge
Can't go back to the start again
And years burn under the skin
Embers upon the wind
We're looking for it two at a time
I'm out the window and you'll be fine
Go take your aeroplane, go make it right
And I'll take the bus, and you'll take your time
Be still aching heart
Old seams are still holding up
New dreams seem to be out of stock
While rain tries turning to snow
'Til summer begins to show
We're looking for it two at a time
I'm out the window and you'll be fine
Go take your aeroplane, go make it right
And I'll take the bus, and you'll take your time
We're looking for it two at a time
I'm out the window and you'll be fine
Go take your aeroplane, go make it right
And I'll take the bus, and you'll take your time

DEVIL ON YOUR MIND
lyrics by Ryan Meeking
You are lost in a world you do not know
A weary soul discarded
As you wander the plains that winter claims
The night seems ever darker
You're never on a side
'Til you're safe from harm
You say the losers lines
But with a devil on your mind
And a half smile
You will make it right
And I know you'll make it yet
My hope for you's not dead
Will you cross through the hills, the hills for her
Although she's long departed
Will you offer your soul, your mind, it all
A deal when broken hearted
You're never on a side
'Til you're safe from harm
You take the losers lines
But with a devil on your mind
And a half smile
You will make it right
Write it out and tear it up
Wonder when the line was crossed
Beating of an endless love
Know that something true is lost
Let it go, let it go
I am lost in a world I do not know
A weary soul discarded

My Own

MY OWN
lyrics by Ryan Meeking
Tell me this
Does any of this love exist
Or is it just a fire
Keeping out the cold
Fear of the unknown
Turning us to coal
Oh those lips
The heavy way we used to kiss
We'd set the world alight
Live years within a night
And memories never lie
Tell me that I'm right, tell me that I'm right
I've seen it all go your way
But now you fall every day
Your tired, unfamiliar face
Says it all
I was told
Even though we all grow old
Love will never die
Love's ignorant of time
But those words were your own
And that was long ago, that was long ago
I've seen it all go your way
But now you fall every day
Your tired, unfamiliar face
Says it all
I used to call
I used to call you my own, my dear
But now you're lost
And I am drunk alone, my dear
I used to call
I used to call you my own, my dear
But now you're lost
And I am drunk alone, my dear
