Everybody’s got someone You pray that they don't call Got a talent for trouble They let you take the fall They can turn a calm room sideways With a whisper and a grin Make a headline outta nothing Just to see who’s listening I knew better than to start it Knew better than to shout But one little push was all it took The day I let the monkey out

That monkey started swinging From the chandeliers of doubt Climbing up the walls of reason Throwing dirty laundry out Yeah the peace we had went running Like a fire in a drought It was all fun and games Till I let the monkey out

They don’t ever need a reason They don’t need a spark to light Just a sideways comment And they'll gladly start a fight They’ll stir the pot till it’s boiling Then stand back and enjoy While the rest of us are sweeping up The things that they destroy I could’ve kept my mouth shut Could’ve walked away somehow But I poked that cage just one more time Just look at us all now

That monkey started swinging From the rafters of the house Climbing over boundries Dragging every secret out Yeah the calm we thought was solid Wasn’t solid anyhow It was all fun and games Till I let the monkey out

That monkey started swinging From the chandeliers of doubt Climbing up the walls of reason Throwing dirty laundry out Yeah the peace we had went running Like a wildfire in a drought It was all fun and games Till I let the monkey out Yeah it was all fun and games The day I let the monkey out.

Met you where the streetlights blur Said your name like we’d done this before You laughed at lines I never say Like you knew what I was reaching for We walked past places I don’t know Still you led like you’d been there for years Every word felt easy, unafraid Like we’d outrun all our fears

You’re the girl of my dreams But I don’t know your name Every time I get close You just slip away Feels so real in the dark Like you’re right next to me But you fade with the light You’re the girl of my dreams

You knew every song I never played Sang the parts I always leave out Talked about the life we had Like you knew what it’s about We were sitting on a rooftop edge Watching headlights drift below You said, “You don’t have to be alone” Like it’s something I should know

You’re the girl of my dreams But I don’t know your name Every time I get close You just slip away Feels so real in the dark Like you’re right next to me But you fade with the light You’re the girl of my dreams

I tried to stay, tried not to wake Tried to hold onto your face But morning always pulls you away Takes you somewhere I can’t trace

You’re the girl of my dreams And that’s all you’ll ever be Every night you come back Just to disappear on me Feels so real in the dark Like you’re right next to me But you fade with the light You’re the girl of my dreams

So I close my eyes again tonight Just to see if you’ll be there Somewhere just beyond the morning Fading like you always do.

We were younger when we started Still believing time was kind Every promise felt like forever Every dream was still in line We learned love in simple moments In the quiet after dark When the world was loud and changing We both stayed right where we were

My love for you has never faltered Never bent and never broke Through the seasons, through the silence Through the words we never spoke I've been steady, I've been certain Even when I wasn't sure Time may weather every promise But my love for you endures

There were years that felt like distance Even sitting side by side Life came heavy with its questions We just learned to let them lie We said things we didn't mean to Held our breath instead of breathe But I always felt you with me Even when you weren't there

My love for you has never faltered Never slipped and never strayed Through the doubts and the distractions Through the debts we couldn't pay I've been restless, I've been tired But I've never loved you less Every road I've ever wandered Led me back to you again

Now the lines are showing softly Where the years have left their mark We move slower through the mornings Still we know each other's heart All the words have found their meaning All the noise is falling through I don't need to chase forever I've already lived it all with you

My love for you has never faltered Not in fire, not in rain Not in loss or disappointment Not in joy and not in pain If the world should fall to pieces If the light should fade to blue We'd still be here both standing In a love that's long and true

My love for you has never faltered Never slipped and never strayed Through the doubts and the distractions Through the debts we couldn't pay I've been restless, I've been tired But I've never loved you less Every road I've ever wandered Led me back to you again

When the days are done and quiet And the years have had their say I'll still reach for you beside me Just the way I always have

All the things I should’ve done All the words I should've said Holding onto every moment Like it’s ever gonna change I keep staring in the mirror Like the past might call my name But the road don’t run in circles And regret don’t heal the pain

It’s a fool’s game Living in yesterday It’s a fool’s game Trying to make the world behave You can bend, you can break, you can pray But you can’t make two hearts feel the same Yeah, it’s a fool’s game It’s a fool’s game

I’ve been losing sleep to what might be Rollin round here in my bed Trying to control the outcome Of a life inside my head I keep betting on the weather Like the sky owes me a break But storms don’t need a reason And some things won’t ever change

It’s a fool’s game Waiting on the truth to lie It’s a fool’s game Chasing reasons asking why You can love, you can hope, you can ache But you can’t make them stay Yeah, it’s a fool’s game It’s a fool’s game

Letting go ain’t giving up It’s just knowing when to stop Some fights don’t make you stronger They just take what strength you’ve got

It’s a fool’s game Living in regret It’s a fool’s game Trying not to feel what they feel back You can hold, you can break, you can wait But you can’t outrun your fate Yeah, it’s a fool’s game It’s a fool’s game

So I’m laying down the dice now Letting go of who to blame I’m done playing all the angles In a never-winning game Yeah, I’m walking off the field Before I lose what still remains ’Cause I’ve learned the hard way, baby It’s a fool’s game It’s a fool’s game

It started out as just a Friday A “one won’t hurt” kind of night Bartender smiling and pouring heavy Neon buzzing, feeling right One turned into “keep it coming” Two turned into closing time Woke up with a pounding lesson And her first name on my mind

When one is one too many And you already crossed the line Just a little turns into trouble Every single time It don’t matter how you spin it Or how small it seemed at first Yeah one is one too many

It happened in a quiet moment Didn’t feel like anything Just a leaning in too close Just a kiss you shouldn’t bring She wasn’t mine, I knew it That didn’t stop the truth One wrong move in the wrong second Now there’s nothing I can do

When one is one too many And you already crossed the line Just a little turns into trouble Every single time It don’t matter how you spin it Or how small it seemed at first Yeah one is one too many When it’s one that makes it worse

It was just a passing comment Said it louder than I should Didn’t land the way I meant it Didn’t sound the way it could Room went quiet in a heartbeat You can’t take back what is said One wrong word in the wrong moment Still ringing in my head

Funny how it’s never the hundred It’s always just the one The one you thought would never matter The one you can’t outrun Yeah the line don’t move an inch But you cross it all the same And it don’t take much to light a spark You can’t put back in the flame

When one is one too many And you already crossed the line Just a little turns into trouble Every single time It don’t matter how you spin it Or how small it seemed at first Yeah one is one too many When it’s one that makes it worse Yeah one is one too many When it’s one that makes it worse

Don't knock before it enters Don't wait outside the door Comes in like it owns the silence Spreads itself across the floor You can lock up every window Say you're doing fine But it finds the cracks you didn't know Were running through your mind

Darkness never asks for permission Never waits for the right time It don't care if you're strong or you're ready It just shows up and calls it your life It don't follow rules or conditions It don't listen when you say no Darkness never asks for permission It just comes and takes hold

It can wear a hundred faces Some you almost recognize In the echo of a memory Or the truth you pushed aside It can sound just like your own voice When you're lying wide awake Telling you the worst is certain And the best was a mistake

Darkness never asks for permission Never waits for the right time It don't care if you're strong or you're ready It just shows up and calls it your life It don't follow rules or conditions It don't listen when you say no Darkness never asks for permission It just comes and takes hold

But I've seen a spark surviving In the middle of the night Just a flicker, barely breathing Still it fights to stay alive And maybe that's the difference Between losing and holding on Not that darkness never comes for you But that it never stays for long

Darkness never asks for permission Never waits for the right time But the light you keep inside you Don't just fade and fall in line It don't follow rules or conditions It don't listen when you say no Darkness never asks for permission But it don't get to own your soul It don't get to own your soul

Their names were never listed first But they circled them in red They stood out in the margins When they quietly counted heads

Every door that wouldn’t open Every doubt they handed down Left them hungry, left them ready When the moment came around

From the quiet in the corner From the second glance you took They won’t shout, and they won’t warn you They won’t wait to be allowed Every miracle you’re waiting on Can come from the least of them

They wore hand-me-down tomorrows Borrowed faith, had unfinished plans Built their hope from broken pieces Learned to fit them in their hands

All those years of being patient All that fire kept inside Turns out waiting was the training For the moment they would rise

From the backs against the wall From the doubt in their own minds They won’t brag, and they won’t beg you They won’t wait to be allowed Every strength you never counted on Can come from the least of them

Don’t confuse the calm for weakness Don’t mistake the small for less Every giant has a heartbeat Every champion passed a test It won’t look like what you pictured From the ones who never quit But the change you’ve been believing in Can come from the least of them

So if you see them in the margins Feeling counted out again Don’t forget how history’s written It comes from the least of them

There’s a road runs by the old stone gate Where the hedges lean and sway With a sky that hangs like a painted hymn Over Old Kilmory Way We were young when we first started With nothing much to our name Just a borrowed coat and a pinch of hope And a fire we couldn’t tame

Oh the years felt like the Irish rain Soft and steady, never the same And if time placed lines on your gentle face Every one to me was a mark of grace I’d walk it all again with you Down Old Kilmory Way

We raised our clan at old Zinns Mill Where the windows caught the light With the kettle singing and the children dreaming Through the quiet of the night There were storms that came like they always do With their thunder and their say But we held our ground when the wind blew round On Old Kilmory Way

Oh the years felt like the Irish rain Soft and steady, never the same And if time placed lines on your gentle face Every one to me was a mark of grace I’d walk it all again with you Down Old Kilmory Way

Now the road is worn and the steps are slow But my heart still feels the same And the fields we knew still carry through Every whisper of your name We don’t speak of what comes next Or the price that time will pay We just sit awhile and share a smile On Old Kilmory Way

Oh the years felt like the Irish rain Soft and steady, never the same And if time placed lines on your gentle face Every one to me was a mark of grace I’d walk it all again with you Down Old Kilmory Way

So when the light falls soft and low At the closing of the day You’ll still find my heart Where we made our start On Old Kilmory Way

I used to think there’d be more time, More hours shining in a day I thought the truth could keep its distance Till I found the perfect way I learned to laugh around the edges Learned what silence can protect But some doors close without a warning If you wait too long, they lock

All the things I never said All the words I left for later Every almost, we never shared Every love we left unclaimed If I had one more chance tonight I wouldn’t choose to be afraid I’d lay it all out on the table All the things I never said

You were standing right beside me While I dreamed of something new I was busy being careful Trying to be somebody else I told myself you’d always know What I could never explain But love don’t live in maybes And it don’t read between the lines

All the things I never said All the words I left for later Every almost, we never shared Every love we left unclaimed If I had one more chance tonight I wouldn’t choose to be afraid I’d lay it all out on the table All the things I never said

Now I talk to empty spaces Like you’re listening somewhere Maybe you never needed me And I thought that you’d be there I finally know what I’d tell you But I learned it much too late Funny how the truth gets clearer When there’s nothing left at stake

These are all the things I never said All the words I should’ve given Every time I chose my pride Over what I was feeling If I had one more moment now I’d make every second count I’d say it all right from the heart

All the things I never said All the words I left for later Every almost, we never shared Every love we left unclaimed If I had one more chance tonight I wouldn’t choose to be afraid I’d lay it all out on the table All the things I never said All the things I never said

You fell through the quiet of a long bad night Like a rabbit down a winding hole Clocks on the wall started losing their minds And the truth turned sideways in your soul The voices got loud in the back of your head Every thought talking over the rest You tried to make sense of the chaos around But the answers were lost in the mess

Welcome to wherever you are Where the maps don’t match the stars Where the roads run circles through your heart And nothing feels the way it should Welcome to the strange and bizarre Where the lost things wander far You know you don’t have to be sure Welcome to wherever you are

The big Cat grin in the back of your dreams Keeps appearing then fading away You question your size in the scheme of things Too small or too big for the day The queen in your head keeps shouting again “Off with your confidence now!” But somewhere inside there’s a quieter friend Who knows when to show you how

Welcome to wherever you are Where the maps don’t match the stars Where the roads run circles through your heart And nothing feels the way it should Welcome to the strange and bizarre Where the lost things wander far You know you don’t have to be sure Welcome to wherever you are

Welcome to wherever you are Where the maps don’t match the stars Where the roads run circles through your heart And nothing feels the way it should Welcome to the strange and bizarre Where the lost things wander far You know you don’t have to be sure

If the rabbit runs again tonight And the world feels just too far Take a breath and look around Welcome to wherever you are
