Verse: E A7 E F
Chorus: E A7 E A7 (end on F)

it is the season, the season of hunting
i’ve got a target on my back
I’m getting ready, getting my guns out
cause i’m the one who will attack
i’ve got a sharp shot, i’ve got a keen eye
i’m gonna take you down this time
but i am a slow beast, wounded already
alone in the meadow of my mind
 
i’m hunting myself now
i’m putting myself down
running away from my own gun
i’m open fire here
there’s no getting away dear
hunting myself, there’s nowhere to run
 
four in the am, still wide awake and
letting the tape spin in my head
what if i lose her all over again
what if the cancer kills him dead
why can’t i fix it, why can’t i forget
why am i scared and sad and stunned
the night is a vast sea, the water is glassy
and i am a pacing, sitting duck

everyone’s putting on their mittens and gloves
but we’re still holding hands cause we’re smitten with love
everyone’s bundled up for a day in the snow
but we’re just staying warm underneath the mistletoe
 
who needs warmer weather
with you and me together
honey i will never be cold
who needs warmer weather
i’ve got you to hold
 
everyone’s huddled round the fire to feel the heat
but we’re still laying in bed cause you’re warming up my feet
everyone’s wrapping both hands around their coffee mug
but we’re all tied up in a cozy Christmas hug

i carry you like a suitcase full of boulders across the river
i carry you like a shotgun aimed for destruction, just pull the trigger
i carry you like the weight on every shoulder i’ve ever cried on
i carry you like a baby on a lonely doorstep with a lonely light on
 
i could lay you down for good but i am not that brave
so i carry you all the way to my grave
 
i carry you like a soldier out of the fire, still in the war
i carry you like an umbrella full of holes so when it rains, it pours
i carry you like a dancer spinning in circles to silent music
i carry you like a memory, don’t want to see it, don’t want to lose it
 
i carry you like a letter i keep on penning, but never sending
i carry you like a cancer, ever growing, never-ending
i carry you like the genome across the ages, the past has spoken
i carry you down a hallway full of photographs, the frames all broken

summer turned to fall before we knew it
since the day i got the call
we’ve been fighting through it
though i am in need of sleep and peace of mind
you are the beat i keep
my rhythm, my rhyme
 
my time is your time
my wind is you chime
 
a smile hits your face and it warms me up like sun
i’m thankful for this place when i think of how far we’ve come
sometimes it takes some time
sometimes it takes a fall
to realize we’ll be fine
if we have each other, we have it all

the first thing that i notice is the sunshine on her face
which leads me to her freckles looking like they're playing chase
her strong jawline, her lips to her eyes
which leads me to her midnight hair blowing through the sky

oh my, oh my, i feel sorry for the light
cause if her face is in the picture, nothing else catches my sight
oh my, oh my

i could spend the whole day smiling at this silly photograph
and the lengths she'll leap to for a little laugh
the frames can't tame her spirit's range, which explains why i feel
that her beauty can be captured but not caught dead standing still

oh my, oh my, this love is black and white
we know what to expect cause we've got the right effect
oh my, oh my

pressing flowers inside books, making melodies and hooks
reading pointless stories in bed
frisbee, jeopardy, laughing so damn hard you pee
these are the photographs flipping through my head

oh my, oh my, strolling the lane made up of time
P-I-C-T-U-R-Easily the best memory
oh my

i keep pressing the button that takes me down to level c
and i laugh out loud because level’s a word that is used ironically
cause it may as well be a bucking bull
or a ship in the see with a hole in its hull
i keep hanging on and pray for the day you can be
level with me
 
pray that you’re level with me, it’s just a matter of time
before the revelry arrives, with your peace of mind
you can find me here, i’ll just be walking the line
until the day you are free and level with me
 
my eyes they are tired, and my heart is lonely
and my clothes smell like hospital
my collection is growing of those visitor stickers
peel them off and stick ‘em on the wall
but i wait every day and i walk to a well
full of love that we made and i fill up my pail
i just hang on and pray for the day you can be
level with me

Verse: Em Bm C
Chorus: C G A7

i’m just a flower doing my best to grow
you’re just a bee surrounding me
naturally i give you my nectar, it’s all I know
it’s the least i could do you found it in me
 
when will we taste the honey
that we both made?
when will we taste the honey, babe?
 
i’m just an ember in your life
trying not to go out without a fight
no matter how hard i prod and poke
you only give me secondhand smoke
 
when will we feel the fire?
when will you warm me up?
when will we feel the fire, love?
 
when will we touch tomorrow?
when will someday be here?
when will we touch tomorrow, dear?

Verse: G C 
Chorus: D C G // C G
​
if it is true that the world ends
are you ready, are you ready?
if it is true that we all die
are you ready, are you ready?
 
we all share this space
that’s all that matters friends
so let’s all go out singing
i’ll sing with you til the end
 
if it is true that we all pass
are you ready, are you ready?
if it is true that our souls last
will you meet me, will you meet me?

Chorus: C D Em // (even if forever... F pass through E to G)
Bridge: same as verse
 
i daydream of the day when you say dear, i'm sorry
cause i remember more than you could know
nightmares turn to tangible truths and i remember
that no one feels safe around you

i never wanted to say the word never (never)
but sometimes something's got to change somehow (ooh)
it hurts me but i have to say forever (it's better)
even if forever is for now

 i daydream of the day when i can say mom, i'm pregnant
cause i remember fondly you're fond of children
but dreams turn into nightmares when i remember
no child will you love more than (your child is a piece of) God

forgiveness, come find me soon
protection do the same
traveling through the brain and heart
but it arrives in the same vein

a land removed from sickness pain and sorrow
no death, no theft, no aching, no more greed
no sad goodbyes but only glad reunions
oh this is just what heaven means to me

what will it be, when we get over yonder
and join the throng upon the glassy sea
to greet our loved ones and sing with them forever
oh this is just what heaven means to me

a people that have minds of understanding
and eyes that follow suit in what they see
they follow all the passages on love
oh this is just what heaven means to me

a swaying eucalyptus on the hillside
where lovebirds sit and sing their melody
surrounded by the people who we love most
oh this is just what heaven means to me
