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 gray 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 gray 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
It’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

Feels Like Letting Go
Words and Music by Matthew Perryman Jones

Oh my love
Help me open up my heart again
Tear it open let the rain fall in
Wash this hardness underneath my skin

Oh my love
Let me hear your voice come through
I want to know the love inside of you
Make this dark heart believe in what is true

I know that in the dark
There’s a fear of letting go
I know it in my heart
That I fear what I don’t know

CHORUS
And this feels like letting go
This feels like letting go
I’m letting go

It’s hard to trust
When your heart’s been broken times before
You pull the curtains and you lock the doors
And swear you’ll never go out anymore

I know that in the dark
There’s a fear of letting go
I know it in my heart
That I fear what I don’t know

CHORUS

Well, I’m steppin’ out
I can’t see and there is no sound
The seeming void becomes the solid ground
The sight I lost becomes the faith I found

And this feels like letting go
this feels like letting go
I’m letting go
I’m letting go
I’m letting go
Oh, let it go
