Composure

Waking Ashland Composure Lyrics
1.Overjoyed

Lyricist:Jonathan Wesley Jones

I see frustration upon your face
Tired eyes
Won't you just rest with me
I'll make you complete again

I saw the beauty in your soul
The way you are
Can't you just see the moon smiling at you tonight
And what will define you?

I'm overjoyed, yeah
Overjoyed to be with you
Overcame doubts
Overcame and fell for you

I see two roads ahead of you
One is wide, the other
Is narrow and long
Which is the one you'll choose?

Together we're walking side by side
I will fall and you will rescue me
Through all my darkest times
And what will define you?

'Cause I want to know you
I want to give you all I can
I want to know you
I want to someday understand

And it's all for you
Yeah, who you going to be, who you going to be?
Always there through the rough times
And you're always there when no one else cares
No one else cares
Always there


2.Medication

Lyricist:Jonathan Wesley Jones

Who am I trying to fool
As the night falls upon me?
Who am I trying to be
When this leads to nothing?

I need some medication
I need your medication
These choices I've been making
They make me hate myself

Are you there?
How I long to be with you
Are you there?
Listening to my despair

Standing right at the shore
Knowing life is so much more
I said what she wanted to hear
Pretending that my mind was clear

It's a lie

How you wept, how you tried
But I never make the time
Here I go once again
Will this ever end?

I need some medication
I need your medication
These choices I've been making
They make me hate myself

Are you there?
How I long to be with you
Are you there?
Listening to my despair

Standing right at the shore
Knowing life is so much more
Said what she wanted to hear
Pretending that my mind was clear

Don't make the call
Into the room
It's where I fall

Standing right at the shore
Knowing life is so much more
I said what she wanted to hear
Pretending that my mind was clear

Lying, trying to stop this time, I'll stop this time
One step backward chasing after
A voice inside, a voice inside
That knows


3.Long Shot

Lyricist:Jonathan Wesley Jones

You made the call I step outside and cross that line
And I lose control 'cause I've been waiting
It's beautiful to let go, don't you know
You're everything I try to be
The rise and fall to respond to the call, I got butterflies

You're all I have so break me down
You're all I am and nothing else matters

This is a long shot it's all I have
I'm ready to step it up
And all I need is your hand
And this is a long shot it's who I am
I'm ready to take off, all I need is a plan

You're all I have

I'm calling out, take me, shape me
I'm finding out that you are my reason
It's beautiful to let go, don't you know
You're everything I try to be
The rise and fall to respond to the call, I sing a new song

You're all I have so break me down
You're all I am, nothing else matters, nothing else matters

This is a long shot, it's all I have
I'm ready to step it up
And all I need is your hand
This is a long shot, it's who I am
I'm ready to take off and, all I need is a plan

You're all I have
You're all I have, yeah

This is a long shot, it's all I have
I'm ready to step it up
And all I need is your hand
And this is a long shot, it's who I am
I'm ready to take off, all I need is a plan


4.I Am For You

Lyricist:Jonathan Wesley Jones

Something's very wrong here
Your heart has frozen over
And something's very strange here
You've lost all desire

The comfort we create to prove
We're something but we're starving
Screaming in the night 'cause you want answers
From the one and there is hope again

Don't give up, you're not thinking
Don't give up, just keep seeking
And I, I am for you and I, I will love you
And I, I am for you and I, I will save you

Come and take my face
Or forever I will walk alone
And all the same mistakes
'Cause I know you, I deny you

Days go by and choices still remain forever
Right and wrong is black and white
The illusions of this world
And there is hope again

I send myself to you, yes always and always
I send my love to you, you found today
Found today, you found today, saw today


5.Let Go

Lyricist:Jonathan Wesley Jones, Ryan Lallier

You danced with me in the moonlight and I found my theme
Like roses bloom, you inspired me
And the break of day fell upon me and the light outshine
And you broke the spell that had kept me from loving you

I came to you for answers
I left confused

You play charades and the stars bow down
And I saw your face, I lose myself on a Saturday
It had been so long, so I question, I question everything
And it's no surprise, the time was right and you saw it in my
eyes

I came to you for answers
I left confused
'Cause you moved me and you promised you wouldn't let go
Now I need you and I want you to know

I am spinning out of control to be with you

I came to you for answers
I left confused
And you moved me and you promised you wouldn't let go
Now I need you and I want you to know

I'm stepping out today
(I came to you for answers)
Pushed all the demons away
(I left confused)
I'm stepping out today
(And you moved me and you promised you would let go)
Pushed all the demons away
(Now I need you and I want you to know)
I'll come through


6.Rumors

Lyricist:Jonathan Wesley Jones

I'd cross the desert to be with you
I miss you, I miss you
I heard the rumors they all were true
I need you, I need you

Ooh, next to me, next to me
Ooh, next to me, next to me

I'll take off my make-up
I'll stop and listen
I am alive now
I watch my head spin

I'll take off my make-up
I'll stop and listen
I am alive now
I watch my head spin

I'm in love with things you can't define
And I'm in love with things you cannot buy
All for you, the one thing I know's true
All for you, take me and renew

Into the depths of the deepest sea
I fought you, I fought you
For all I know and all I can see
You come through, you come through

And all I am and all I can be
You're callin', you're callin'
So here you are in front of me
I've fallen, I've fallen

I'll take off my make-up
I'll stop and listen
I am alive now
I watch my head spin

I'll take off my make-up
I'll stop and listen
I am alive now
I watch my head spin

Round and round, the things I can't deny
And I'm in love with things you can't define
All for you, the one thing I know's true
All for you, take me and renew

And I walked away
But you were always on my mind
And I was afraid
That you would never come alive

There for me
When I was scared of you
You were there for me
When I wasn't there for you

I'm in love with things you can't define
And I'm in love with things you cannot buy
All for you, the one thing I know's true
All for you, take me and renew


7.Silhouettes

Lyricist:Jonathan Wesley Jones

Silhouettes, they all show

This will pass like yesterday
The rain will come and wash away
And fill me with your sweet, sweet air
I cried out and you were there

Like the wind that I cannot see
But I know it's there right in front of me
You're everywhere, oh, oh, oh
You're everywhere

I cried wolf to you again
And then denied this in my head
'Cause I ran to the other side
Only to then change my mind

Like the wind that I cannot see
But I know it's there right in front of me
You're everywhere, oh, oh, oh
You're everywhere

What if I fall, oh, what if I break?
I'm livin' life so I'll make my mistakes
You're everywhere, oh, oh, oh
You're everywhere

Silhouettes, they all show

I'm losin' myself again
And your patient with me
I'm buildin' these walls again
Please rescue me

Silhouettes, they all show
Silhouettes, would you let me know?

Like the wind that I cannot see
But I know it's there right in front of me
You're everywhere, oh, oh, oh
You're everywhere

What if I fall, oh, what if I break?
I'm livin' life, I will make my mistakes
You're everywhere, oh, oh, oh
You're everywhere

Silhouettes, they all show


8.Shades Of Grey

Lyricist:Jonathan Wesley Jones

I and I am to blame
I sit here in shame
I threw you away again

And I, I send you my best
I try to lay this to rest
When you were my everything

Shades of grey
And please fade away
And oh, what have I said in vain?

Hey and I'll look away
Pretend I'm okay
I'm back on the road again

And please, could it be true
That I still love you?
And my love's unworthy

Shades of grey
And please fade away
And oh, what if I said in vain?

Are you listening to my words?
And I saw your smile pass me by
And landed far from me
And what does that mean?

Shades of grey
And please fade away
Oh, what have I said in vain?

I and I ran away
For I was afraid
Afraid, you'd be everything


9.Same Problem

Lyricist:Jonathan Wesley Jones

Oh no, the battle forms inside
And I speak, but you don't see the signs
My heart aches, leaving me here to hide
My world shakes, until you assure me

Oh no, there goes composure
Over and out to sea
Oh no, this won't control me
But it seems to get the best of me

The same problem, coming to haunt me again
And I know it's taken the best of my head
The same problem tears me to pieces inside
And I'm left to wonder, oh why, oh why

Oh no, I'm crossing my fingers
In hopes, you will not leave me
Far away, the silence it burns me
As I wait, the tension builds

The same problem, coming to haunt me again
And I know it's taken the best of my head
The same problem tears me to pieces inside
And I'm left to wonder

Oh why, can't I move forward?
Oh why, does my mind wander?
Oh why, does my heart desire you?

The same problem, coming to haunt me again
And I know it's taken the best of my head
The same problem tears me to pieces inside
And I'm left to wonder

The same problem, coming to haunt me again
And I know it's taken the best of my head
The same problem tears me to pieces inside
And I'm left to wonder, oh why

Oh no, there goes composure


10.Hands On Deck

Lyricist:Jonathan Wesley Jones

All hands on deck, don't abandon the ship
You'll never know what it could have been
All hands on deck, my ship is sinking
Don't let me go, don't let me drown

A step to the right to your own rhythm
And what comes next is up to you
And I need a miracle to save me from this
And I need the angels to all pray for me
I can't believe you

All hands on deck, don't abandon the ship
You'll never know what it could have been
All hands on deck, my ship is sinking
Don't let me go, don't let me drown

Another day, another worry, breaks right through
And indecision bleeds me dry
And she's painting pictures, I'm not making for her
And she's got a vision without me in mind
I can't believe you

All hands on deck, don't abandon the ship
You'll never know what it could have been
All hands on deck, my ship is sinking
Don't let me go, don't let me drown

All hands on deck, don't abandon the ship
You'll never know what it could have been
All hands on deck, my ship is sinking
Don't let me go, don't let me drown

The long walks on moon light beach
The promises you could not keep
They're so contagious, you're so contagious

For all the world we did not see
And all the smiles you gave to me
They're so contagious, so very fake

All hands on deck, don't abandon the ship
You'll never know what it could have been
All hands on deck, my ship is sinking
Don't let me go, don't let me drown

And goodbye to you, goodbye to you, you
And goodbye to you, goodbye to you, you


11.October Skies

Lyricist:Jonathan Wesley Jones

Autumn brings a song I sing so desperately
These shattered dreams from broken wings of love
October skies and city lights were all a blur
And high tide came washin' them away

I said
â½Alright, alright, alrightâ
And you make the calls tonight
I surrender, this is for real

Church bells ring
The North Star seems so far from me
The coastal plane's is where my shame shall lay
Autumn trees they shed their leaves to live again
The cold air brings clarity to me, yeah

I said
â½Alright, alright, alrightâ
And you make the calls tonight
I surrender, this is for real

I said
â½Alright, alright, alrightâ
And you make the calls tonight
I surrender to your love

And I, I've been runnin' to nowhere
(Nowhere, nowhere)
And I, I feel something's getting clear, ooh
(Come clear, come clear)

I said
â½Alright, alright, alrightâ
â½Alright, alright, alrightâ
I surrender, this is for real

I said
â½Alright, alright, alrightâ
And you make the calls tonight
And I surrender to your love

I said
â½Alright, alright, alrightâ
And you make the calls tonight
I surrender, this is for real

I said
â½Alright, alright, alrightâ
And you make the calls tonight
And I surrender to your love


12.Edinger

Lyricist:Jonathan Wesley Jones

I woke her up cause I could barely sleep
At 2 A.M. and contemplating faith
I made my way right out her door
The street lights, shine bright
I run away while she sleeps through the night

Was it fate that brought us here?
My mistakes I made in fear
Is it too late to change my mind?
Who have I been?

Stepping back to where I used to be
Incomplete and helpless so it seems
The fog's like a wall and it's hard to see
It's feelings' meanings
I start my car and drive 'til I found peace

Was it fate that brought us here?
My mistakes I made in fear
Is it too late to change my mind?
Who have I been?

Was it fate that brought us here?
My mistakes I made in fear
Is it too late to change my mind?
Who have I been?

When will this end
Time's running thin
Figure it out
Figure it out

And was it fate that brought us here?
My mistakes I made in fear
Is it too late to change my mind?
Who have I been?

Was it fate that brought us here?
My mistakes I made in fear
Is it too late to change my mind?
Who have I been?

When will this end
Time's running thin
Figure it out
Figure it out


13.Sing Me To Sleep

Lyricist:Jonathan Wesley Jones

There is something watching, waiting
There is something passing, casting these shadows
How they make their way into my mind

And you'll sing me to sleep, you'll sing to me gently
And you'll sing me to sleep, you'll sing to me
And I'm not alone

There is something shining, calling my name
And who are you? What do you want?
I'll claim nothing when you're whispering
The truth has made its way into my head

And you'll sing me to sleep, sing to me gently
And you'll sing me to sleep, sing to me gently
And you'll sing me to sleep, sing to me gently
And you'll sing me to sleep, sing to me gently
And I'm not alone
