The Forecast Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.These Lights

Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb

Have you ever seen stars like these
With a night like this wishin' it could last for weeks
And I'm convinced that soon you'll see
These summer leaves turn to a winter breeze

I will show you the country and all its secrets
Like why these lights burn out so quick
Have you ever seen roads like these
With a sky so bright from the western light

And I've foreseen a new family
Forged from blood and bone just off the coast
Put a record on, they say it soothes the soul
And takes us back in time when we walked in fields of gold

With the radio playing these random hits
We'll move onto a western view
Tonight we ride to fight
We'll drop our heads real slow to the ground

That's frozen cold and breath it in
And move our limbs to make those wings
Begin again and wait and see what tomorrow brings
And we will feast and fight and tell tales
Of hangmen heroes, lovers and pawns


2.And We All Return To Our Roots

Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb

This letter's sealed with a kiss
Sent with a promise
Of a better life with a better view
I'd rather move than watch you

Damn the Gods
With things from a life now lost
We can patch this up, the boat's not sinking
We're still afloat and we're singing

All I want, all I want
Is a little place of my own
Where I can rest my head
All I want, all I want
Is a little place of my own
Where I can rest my head

Drink up, darling
We can save this 'till the morning
When we have clear eyes
And the peace of mind to work this out

You need a raise
You haven't slept in how many days?
The feelings creeping up that you're never going to win
You have to remember we are rising

All I want, all I want
Is a little place of my own
Where I can rest my head
All I want, all I want
Is a little place of my own
Where I can rest my head

We are the ones back to our roots
We are the dust that lies in you
We are the ones in too deep
We are the ones we are

We are the ones back to our roots
We are the dust that lies in you
We are the ones in too deep
We are the ones we are

All I want
(We are the ones back to our roots)
All I want
(We are the dust that lies in you)
Is a little place of my own
(We are the ones in too deep)
Where I can rest my head
(We are the ones we are)

All I want
(We are the ones back to our roots)
All I want
(We are the dust that lies in you)
Is a little place of my own
(We are the ones in too deep)
Where I can rest my head
(We are the ones we are)

All I want
(We are the ones back to our roots)
All I want
(We are the dust that lies in you)
Is a little place of my own
(We are the ones in too deep)
Where I can rest my head
(We are the ones we are)

All I want
(We are the ones back to our roots)
All I want
(We are the dust that lies in you)
Is a little place of my own
(We are the ones in too deep)
Where I can rest my head
(We are the ones we are)


3.Seating Subject To Availability

Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb

Lay down, let's start a family
Lay my fears and my failures
To rest, no more dreams

(You can't sleep, you can't see your future)
You'll lie awake waiting for your moment
To shine, precious time
(You can't waste)

Just waiting weighed down by the fears
Of our fathers can't stop us now
Because waking up with the road
Moving under our feet is what moves us

Lay down, you're almost dead now
You're getting older, we're getting colder
You're moving out you'll trade your six string
For a family and a desk and I don't blame you for giving up


4.A Fistfight For Our Fathers

Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb

Avoid disaster
We must stop sleeping
We better wake up, wake up
Before we start drowning

You know we lie, we lie to ourselves
We lie, we lie to ourselves

My ears are ringing
From all your screaming
You better face it, face it
Before you've wasted away

You know we lie, we lie to ourselves
We lie, we lie to ourselves

Wake up, wake up
Wake up and start singing
Wake up, wake up
Wake up and start singing
Hit them in the heart

You're always running
Trying not to stumble
But you have to wait it, wait
So let's not lie this time

You know, we lie, we lie to ourselves
We lie, we lie to ourselves


5.Whiskey's Dead You're Next

Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb

Have you told her son about the alcohol and medicine
Or the wasted days while friendships frayed
Where you could barely carry your weight

Flip the lights down or pretend you're not alone
And spill the secrets
You bought and sold for rock and roll dreams

Flip the lights down or pretend you're not alone
And spill the secrets
You bought and sold for rock and roll dreams

Have you told her son how you up and leave all your loved ones
How all the lies slip past your tongue
You choke them down like smoke in your lungs

Flip the lights down or pretend you're not alone
And spill the secrets
You bought and sold for rock and roll dreams

Flip the lights down or pretend you're not alone
And spill the secrets
You bought and sold for rock and roll dreams


6.Fade In, Fade Out

Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb

I'll watch the lights slip past the trees
Begging for kisses to be made
Without a bottle's helping hands
We'll watch the movies where the lines are said

I will repeat them back to you
Without a bottle's helping hands

Talking about a long night for a fist fight
Strap your memories to your back
And hang that noose around your neck

Talking about a long night for a fist fight
Strap your memories to your back
And hang that noose around your neck

And your photos they're fading now
You said, you said this is your chance to turn it all around

Your past mistakes hold no weight
'Cause we're always moving forward
Never turn around, don't look back now
That's why, that's okay

Talking about a long night for a fist fight
Strap your memories to your back
And hang that noose around your neck

Talking about a long night for a fist fight
Strap your memories to your back
And hang that noose around your neck

As we walk home the snow falls around us
As we fall onto the sidewalks with our heads up
Always looking for a hands up or a hand out
It was nice to know you then


7.Helping Hands

Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb

It's in these letters that we write
To our friends and family
Spilling secrets of our past
A brief history
Packed with pills, alcohol
And cuts that'll run so deep

So we must stand up
For the ones we love
And give them hope
Before they fall down

So they say, I've lost and I've found
And I've found no way out
Of this mess that we have made
So let me get this straight
You want out
Or just to leave town

So we must stand up
For the ones we love
And give them hope
Before they fall

And we must stand up
For the ones we love
And give them hope
Before they fall down


8.Every Gun Makes Its Own Tomb

Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb

Drive, let's get out of this mess
We can fall out into empty streets
And stumble for a place to meet

Stop, stop talking
We have burned too many bridges now
We have to stop to think about

This before we give up
And fall into broken promises that are ten feet deep
And we always seem to sink

We need to be more honest than we ever have
We're sinking deep

Now drink so we can spill more
Secrets from past lives that have never died
And always seem to help us trip and

Fall, fall in love with
With these eyes of mine that cannot lie
For they have never shined this

Bright but we'll keep dancing
Around the truth that we're so scared to spill
So drink up baby, I've had my fill

We need to be more honest than we ever have
We're sinking deep
We need to be more honest than we ever have
We're sinking deep


9.Losing Signal

Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb

Spending nights trying to find out why kids are dying
Some are cutting themselves
While others rely on pills
Which leads to finding your father's gun
And saying this life's not worth living

We need to learn to defend depression
With our friends before they fade out


10.Sleep Tight Tonight

Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb

Sleeping in I'll begin again to shed this skin
And be born again
We'll drink to forget and drink to forgive
We'll rethink our futures, rethink our futures

I can't remember what he said
When he left my bed and left my life last night
But I'll be thinking about you
I'll be thinking about

So stay if you can, won't you stay if you can?
And lead me to your promised land
So stay if you can, won't you stay if you can?
And lead me to your promised land

Fall in, fit in, let the broken hearts club dance
Fall in, fit in, let the broken hearts club dance
Fall in, fit in, let the broken hearts club dance

So stay if you can, won't you stay if you can?
And lead me to your promised land
So stay if you can, won't you stay if you can?
And lead me to your promised land


11.APR

Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb

Ancient artifacts receive a fresh new look 'round here
Tapping into nature, the video store declines
Our cards and our stars are not aligned tonight, tonight

Tonight, the storm is rolling in
And I can feel the rain beat against the wind
And I don't mind, I don't mind, I want to run and make you mine
While these Midwestern skies are clear tonight

Pack up the maps, we will drive, we can't fly
Say anything, so my heart beats on time
Pack up the maps, we will drive, we can't fly
Say anything, so my heart beats on time
So my heart beats on time, so my heart


12.Late Night Conversations

Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb

Summer's gone and I am waiting
For new beginnings with better endings
Long nights for the sleep deprived
Friends fading while falling in love

I'll write these letters to you
From a desk in a room that's bleeding truth
And I wont sleep so I'll have
No regrets to waste on you

We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up for the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise

We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up for the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise

Let's drink to our fallen friends
To our failures and our futures
Wasted, on the ride home
Fight the feeling, we're not alone

I got this feeling I can't shake tonight
So I'll call you for the hundredth time
Just asking for a reply

We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up for the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise

We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up for the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise

We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up for the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise

We'll fight the good fight, the good fight
Waiting up for the phone to ring off the hook
I've waited so long to hear
Goodnight until sunrise, until sunrise


13.Exorcise Demons

Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb

'It's getting late and I must be on my way
It's five am and the city's sleeping and I'm not far behind'
'Just stay for one more drink and I will let you go
Because nights like this don't happen anymore'

'Let's talk about all the feelings that we have
Like life, love, pain and regret'
'The only thing I regret is not speaking my mind
And that it's too late to fall back on my word'

Way down deep in our heads we know we can't let this happen
It's Friday night and the city lights are dancing on my eyes
So will you drive me home
Rain pours on the road coast to coast and you'll be home
Unless you call me

If I called and said hello and shared the secrets that I hold
Would you run or stay with me tonight
'My world holds your weight boy, my world holds your weight
You'll be gone in the morning, so call back today'


14.(May You One Day) Carry Me Home

Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb

I'm standing in the road and I don't mind your headlights
You say I've lost control but you're driving down my road
With pockets full of secrets never said

I've got some things to say and I know you can relate
Kiss and tell, I never tell
But I'd love to hear these words roll out your mouth
I've got some things to say and I know you can relate
Kiss and tell, I never tell
But I'd love to hear these words roll out your mouth

Run away with me, run away with me tonight
Run away with me, run away with me tonight

It's getting late, so sleep well, angel, 'cause I'll be back
tomorrow
We can stay up late and smoke it down
And feel the breeze beneath our feet
And chalk it up to friends with no families

We're on our, we're on our own
Kiss and tell, I never tell
But I'd love to hear these words roll out your mouth
We're on our, we're on our own
Kiss and tell, I never tell
But I'd love to hear these words roll out your mouth

Run away with me, run away with me tonight
Run away with me, run away with me tonight

You're okay, we're okay
Just know that I am not giving up on you
You're okay, we're okay
Just know that I am not giving up on you

I'm standing in the road and I don't mind your headlights
You say I've lost control
I'm standing in the road and I don't mind your headlights
You say I've lost control


15.You're My Needle

Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb

I am a vein you can't expose
Can you live with what you've chosen?
And I'm choosing to sleep it off another week
Pray the Lord my soul to keep and I'm keeping this

You are the habit I can't break
The pill I said I'd never, never take
The slip between the cup and lip
The feeling I can't forget and I'll beg forgiveness


16.Welcome Home

Lyricist:Dustin Addis, Shannon Burns, Anthony Peck, Matt Webb

You called me out
You called me out

And now I'm showing
Bloodied and broken
But I'll still sing for you


You called me out

But if you're looking for love
In the oceans you might find
A bottle of dreams
Swept away by a traveler's life

You called me out
You called me out

When the stage is set
We will all sit down
And watch our lives unfold


You called me out

So let's gather around
Our friends and lift our fists
Up to the sky
And cast our demons down


17.A Better Man

Sink your teeth in
I'm afraid it's coming down to this
You better make it stick
An everlasting kiss, pressed to your lips

Long drives and late nights
Twenty-four and I'm out for blood once more
This is a testament to love, let's sin
For who we are within

Wake up in time
To start your life, don't throw it away
'Cause in time the scars
Will slowly turn to gray

Wake up in time
To start your life, don't throw it away
'Cause in time the scars
Will slowly turn to gray

It was three o'clock
And you were packing your bags
I saw from the sidewalk
Looks like you're gone today and never coming back

She says, you'll never know
How much we've grown
If moving on is moving up is moving out
I'll see you around

Wake up in time
To start your life, don't throw it away
'Cause in time the scars
Will slowly turn to gray

Wake up in time
To start your life, don't throw it away
'Cause in time the scars
Will slowly turn to gray

I'll take the blame to myself
Because it was me and no one else
Who poured that salt into your wounds

I never thought you'd run away
At least not to him I'll pray
Just for the day I won't lay down
My debt's been paid

Wake up in time
To start your life, don't throw it away
'Cause in time the scars
Will slowly turn to gray

Wake up in time
To start your life, don't throw it away
'Cause in time the scars
Will slowly turn to gray

Let go, let go
I never said I lost control
Let go, let go
I never said I lost control


18.Broken Bottles

We're riding a low
A slow pace where we have to grow up
We're riding a low
Where the blood thins from those long nights

The room spins as I watch you turn
Waiting for the words
We're so sick of being alone
So come over stay longer

Wasting time on
Mistakes we've made
My eyes will tell you
I haven't slept for days

We're riding a low
A slow pace where we have to crawl home
Were riding a low
Where nothing make us whole

So we'll bend our backs back to the start
And start again
