Blue as the Sky

(tyler burkum)
in my life i 've said so much
that i wish i could take back
in my life i've made you cry
so many times, forgive me

i am so weary from this heavy load
and i'm so tired i could cry
my burden is lifted, lifted off
now i can hold my head high
i used to be as blue as the sky

in my life i've said so much
that i wish i could take back
in my life i've wasted some time
that i know i won't get back

i am so weary from this heavy load
and i'm so tired i could cry
my burden is lifted, lifted off
now i can hold my head high
i used to be as blue as the sky

California

(tyler burkum)
now i lye awake
and wonder where you are
i'm so far away
like the furthest star

i am in california
but i am in minnesota
in my mind

now i lye awake
and i think of you
i wish i was a bird
i would fly to you

i am in california
but i am in minnesota
in my mind

i'll be breeze that's blowing throught the trees
i will be the sun
shinning through the leaves
i'll be the song on your shoulder

Hurricane

(tyler burkum)
too much love to contain
with the force of a hurricane
that's what i felt inside
the day i met you
parts of me awakened deep
with some sort of aching need
to love you with every cell

from a seed to a tree
from a boy to a man
you're part of me
can't you understand
like a spring to the sea
from a crawl to a stand
what does this world have in store for you

a sweeter joy that swallows pain
is coming down like a pouring rain
and mending my bitter heart
all my dreams and deepest fears
are pushed aside there are no tears
i know that i was made to love you

from a seed to a tree
from a boy to a man
you're part of me
can't you understand
like a spring to the sea
from a crawl to a stand
tell me what does this world have in store for you

too much love to contain with the force of a hurricane
that's what i felt inside the day i met you

I Need Your Love

(tyler burkum)
what is this love so sweet
i do not know
a river is running wild deep in the canyon
so tell me love where does this river go
the blood singing in your veins my sweet companion

i need your love

i lye awake and look into the stars
tell me where are you tonight i need you near me
your love gives me hope it gives me strength
and without it the sun would fall and drown into the sea

i need your love

I Carry You with Me

(tyler burkum)
children keep on dreaming
when you wake i will be gone
i will vanish with the darkness
and i will leave before the dawn
i am going
to a city by the sea
but don't you worry,

because i carry you with me
i carry you with me

darling your so pretty
like an angel in your sleep
i wish i could stay here with you
you know i don't want to leave
but there are some places
that i really need to be
but don't you worry now

because i carry you with me
i carry you with me

i carry you with me
like a haunting melody
i carry you with me
i hear you laugh
i hear your cry
i see you smile
i taste your kiss
oh i carry you with me


darling maybe someday
forever i will stay
lord knows that's what i am dreaming of
and i'm trying to find away
but for now the wind keeps blowing
it carries me across the sea
but don't you worry now

because i carry you with me
i carry you with me

Beauty Moving

(tyler burkum)
move in closer
i want to hear you breathe
i want to feel your body next to me

your eyes, your mouth
your lips to your fingertips
you're beauty moving
you're beauty moving

come in closer
my heart for you does bleed
i want to give you everything
to give you what you need

your eyes, your mouth
your lips to your fingertips
you're beauty moving
you're beauty moving

Everything You Said

(tyler burkum)
i've got a feeling
burning deep inside of me
i've got a feeling
you're not what you appear to be
you're fooling everybody
you fooled us all including me
i've got a feeling
burning deep inside of me


i thought you were
everything that you said you were

i've got a question
it just makes no sense to me
but the answer
could never be
good enough for me
i hope you're happy
go on tell yourself your free
i've got a question
burning deep inside of me

i thought you were
everything that you said you were
but i won't cry now
for these things
that i cannot change
i cannot change them

i've got a feeling

Too Far Gone

(tyler burkum)
roller-coaster let me ride
roller-coaster let me ride
i've been looking for a place
a peaceful place i can abide

tell me I'm not too far gone
tell me i'm not too far gone
i can feel it pulling me
the glass returns to half empty

wings why won't you let me fly
wings why won't you let me fly
sentenced to this lonely land
put here by my own hand


tell me I'm not too far gone
tell me i'm not too far gone
i can feel it slowly leave
the bitterness inside of me


i've lying to myself
i've been lying to myself too long

You're on My Mind

(tyler burkum)
i wake up in the middle of the night
i hear your voice, but no one is around
all covered in a cold cold sweat
out in some distant town

i'm coming home
to you

you
you're on my mind
you
you're on my mind

i walk around, this lonely town
and i swear i see you pass by
but it's not you, it's someone else
it's just a trick of the eye

i'm coming home
to you

End of the Road

(tyler burkum)
darling put your feet on the dash
and breathe the sweet summer air
we don't know where we're going
but we don't care
darling hold my hand
and never let go
walk with me until the end of the road

roll all the windows down
let your hair fly in the wind
just close your eyes
and feel the moonlight kiss your skin
i love you now and i'll always love you so
walk with me until the end of the road

i wanna say it in a million ways
i want to show you that i love you

there is so much time
and we've got nowhere to be
i've got one hand on the wheel
and the other on your knee
i love you so much more than i could ever show
so i walk with you until the end of the road
