O Virginia
By Don Chaffer and Matthew Perryman Jones

O Virginia
You been trailin’ off too fast
You laid your dress down
In that old Kentucky grass
You said your baby was the prince of Persia
All he did was worship you
Do you remember what your daddy told you
When he would hold you

CHORUS
And when everything was going hazy
Did you ever think that this is crazy now?
O but even though you missed the warning
There’s a mercy born on every morning

O Virginia
You been on the road too long
You learned the grinding
Yeah but you forgot the song
In your memory it’s the angels falling
And the men all calling you
And when you answer at the door, you’re there
Ready to share
But O Virginia, there’s nothing left

CHORUS

In the war between the blame and pity
Your words were smooth, but your teeth were gritty, girl
Cause you wouldn’t lay down your defenses,
And admit the way you killed your senses
When everything was going hazy
You did not believe that this is crazy now
And, Virginia, though you missed the warning
The angels wept and prayed for mourning

O Virginia
That young sweet and tender girl

Save You
By Matthew Perryman Jones and Neilson Hubbard

I wanna rock-n-roll
I wanna give my soul
I’m wanting to believe I’m not too old
Don’t wanna make it up
Don’t wanna letcha down
I wanna fly away
I’m stuck on the ground

CHORUS
So, help me decide
Help me to make up
Make up my mind
Wouldn’t that save you?
Wouldn’t that save you?
Wouldn’t that save you?

Watched all go by
Was it really true?
Is that what it was?
Was that really you?
I’m looking back again
Tracing back the threads
You said it was a mess
Or was it just in my head?

CHORUS (x2)

Somethings gotta break
You gotta swing the bat
Too many years of dying
Why is that?

CHORUS (x3)

Wouldn’t that save you?
Wouldn’t that save you?
Wouldn’t that save you?

Wouldn’t that save you?
Save you?
Wouldn’t that save you?

I found you along the way
I remember how you looked at me
The skies are never grey in the past

Without a Clue
Written by Matthew Perryman Jones and Kate York

I hold a photograph
I get lost in the way it was
It’s like a treasure map to all I had
I found you along the way
I remember how you’d looked at me
Skies are never grey in the past

CHORUS
Remember when falling stars were meant for you
We’d always find the love to fall into
Everything felt like April, May, and June
We get so far, without a clue

Each day’s a second chance
To make up for what I missed before
I come with empty hands and a prayer
I’ve forgotten who I was, ’til I stumbled through my history
I came to life because you were there

CHORUS

You can’t get that far in a broke down car
That’s where we seem to be
Maybe all we are is a memory

Remember when falling stars were meant for you
We’d always find the love to fall into

Remember when falling stars were meant for you
We’d always find the love to fall into
When everything felt like April, May, and June
We get so far, without a clue
We get so far, without a clue

…without a clue
…without a clue
