New York

k. ward 

Verse:

Packed my bags, and my keys

this time now, I’m moving to New York

On the streets and underground

Dreams they dance and drive through our minds

Chorus:

If I could be a name built in lights,

or a song in your head

Join the crowd, start the race and see what it can be 

in New York

Verse:

The Brooklyn Bridge speaks out loud

“Welcome home, how was your day?” 

If you don’t make these dreams, reality

No one else will

Chorus:

If I could be a name built in lights,

or a song in your head

Join the crowd, start the race and see what it can be 

in New York

Bridge:

Sing out high and sing out loud

No one cares, yes we’re all the same

7:30

k. ward

Verse:

It wasn’t really over, at least that’s what they said that night

Then when you told her, you were the same and you took me for all I’m worth

Its too late now its 7:30 again, its cold and I’m waiting to go back home

Take your life as I’m running away, all in all for what your worth

Chorus:

There’s too much now, I’m waiting for and as I go 

I’m running around

To take your place as I know, as I go

Its to late anyway to go back Home

Verse:

I could’ve waited for all of the news we already knew

Then when you hated she took all your money and ran to Mexico

Its too late now its 7:30 again, its cold and I’m waiting to go back home

Take your life as I’m running away, all in all for what your worth

Chorus:

There’s too much now, I’m waiting for and as I go 

I’m running around

To take your place as I know, as I go

Its to late anyway to go back Home

Take Your Time

k. ward 

Verse:

They get on the train, no time to say hello

This is New York time, north of the Nashville line and I find

Take your time

Because you’ve got to run without walking, laugh without crying

I know its been a while, take your time 

Chorus:

There she goes, southern blood, New York blue jeans

There she knows, calling out to that Mississippi skyline

Verse:

We get lost in work, so let the deadlines die

22 is 32 if you don’t look up and find, your kind

Take your time

Because you’ve got to breathe before talking, stop before sleeping

I know its been a while

Take Your Time

Chorus:

There she goes, southern blood, New York blue jeans

There she knows, calling out to that Mississippi skyline

Because you’ve got to dance without moving, kiss without thinking

I know its been a while

Take Your Time

Chorus:

There she goes, southern blood, New York blue jeans

There she knows, calling out to that Mississippi skyline

Friends

k. ward 

Verse:

Take me on this Ferris Wheel that we call friends

Break me, from all of the fake exchanges here

I take the heat, sheets fun in the sun everything feels like its come undone

Have you heard the news

I take this beach, heat the sand in my toes my best friends calling out my girlfriend knows

Said, have you heard the news

Chorus:

It’s taking life again

They’ll be taking all of your friends

It’s taking life again

They’ll be changing all of your friends

Verse:

It starts with one missed call singing on your phone

Then let me, check with the spouse and her parade 

I take the heat, sheets fun in the sun everything feels like its come undone

Have you heard the news

I take this beach, heat the sand in my toes my best friends calling out my girlfriend knows

Said, have you heard the news

Chorus:

It’s taking life again

They’ll be taking all of your friends

It’s taking life again

They’ll be changing all of your friends

Alright

k. ward

Verse:

I’ve been finding what I knew here

I’ve been finding its not right

We could wait until the morning light 

We could take them on tonight

Chorus:

I’m alright, yeah 

I’m alright, everytime we do the things we should

I’m ok, yeah

I’m alright everytime you crawl inside my blood

Verse:

23 hours since you tasted all my veins at once

23 more to go

We could wait until the morning light

We could take them on tonight

Chorus:

I’m alright, yeah 

I’m alright, everytime we stop ourselves instead

I’m ok, yeah

I’m alright everytime you crawl inside my blood

Safe

k. ward

Verse:

So he’s safe, at least you’ve got that down

Black eats the white, but he’s somewhere in between

You’re a long way from here can’t you see in me

It’s a long way to fall down, to be safe, not free

Chorus:

I could not be waiting not this time 

I’ve been silent for too long, he’s in love with her

Take a moment of your precious time, finally notice that he’s

safe not real...he’s just safe

Verse:

Well he’s great, but there’s no passion there

You’re much crazier than, you get credit for

You’re a long way from here can’t you see in me

It’s a long way to fall down, to be safe, not free

Chorus:

I could not be waiting not this time 

I’ve been silent for too long, he’s in love with her

Take a moment of your precious time, finally notice that he’s

safe not real...he’s just safe

Bridge:

If white picket fences, are what you need 

If all your expenses, are what you need

He’s safe not real, he’s safe not real as he calls to you, he’s safe not real

Back To Us 

k. ward

Verse:

I took your name off this ship, tucked it away, away for another day

Back to Us, I couldn’t see for you smiles, back to us

I drove for more than miles here, its back to us

Chorus:

My arms they surround

No hears a sound, I read through all your books

Yeah, why are we going away?

Verse:

It’s 5AM again, still driving through, through all the lights we knew

Back to us, the candles and lights whispered to your face

Stay in this moment always, its back to us

Chorus:

My arms they surround

No hears a sound, I read through all your books

Yeah, why are we going away?

Bridge:

Katie come home, back to us

Chorus:

My arms they surround

No hears a sound, I read through all your books

Yeah, why are we going away?

On Top of The World

k. ward

Verse:

He takes pills tonight 5 at 3 and 2 at 10

Tries to calm his moving mind

Times gone by these changes

Chorus:

Way to Far on top of the world

Way to far on top of my world

Way to far and my heart it could be breaking more 

When I look back now and I see your face again

Verse:

These plans make so much sense, if you could only see him

There’s no one to stop him now,

No sleep for weeks and breathing 

Chorus:

Way to Far on top of the world

Way to far on top of my world

Way to far and my heart it could be breaking more 

When I look back now and I see your face again

Can’t Imagine

k. ward

Verse:

Took you on a ride in a taxi cab in Manhattan, right down to Italy

It was just a 12 dollar journey across the Atlantic, your smile breathed so sweet

Then we heard from our friend, said how’s it going with Sara

She said he made me smile

Chorus:

I will take you there to places you can’t see

Haven’t thought that far, around the world with me 

We’ll put up our sails

We’ll never look back to the places we’ve found

or the places we came from

I wish you could see all the laughs and the smiles their waiting for us

You can’t even imagine

Verse:

Then morning came and the doorman said who was with you

I said a friend for the night, or maybe who knows I’d like to change her

I thought I just might

then we heard from our friend he said was it good for you
she said “amazing night, but I’ll have to go because he wants more then I have can’t leap there yet” she said its all gone away

Chorus:

I will take you there to places you can’t see

Haven’t thought that far, around the world with me 

We’ll put up our sails

We’ll never look back to the places we’ve found

or the places we came from

I wish you could see all the laughs and the smiles their waiting for us

You can’t even imagine

Sunday Morning

k. ward

Take on these waters, it will be cold outside tonight

Then I break us in, it’s as if we’ve known for a year

Dream like you’ve never and I could take a wild ride in those eyes

Then the days blend to one, and we never felt so young

The clocks’ been stuck for days

Maybe we’ll wait until Sunday

We’ll wait until Sunday morning

Take on these waters or it will be cold outside tonight

Breathe like this forever and we will be warm tonight

When you wait until Sunday morning

Verse:

Well the Sun’s up and we’re not, we’re preoccupied with this

And I dance from your lips to your fingertips 

The moon she calls out your name, slides a shadow across your face

As we push her away it’s just us here today

More Than You

k. ward

Verse:

Watch it as the days walk by, the pieces of this

I thought you went to D.C, and all was missing 

I could take your life away said I don’t need you 

Listen to your eyes

They follow through more than you

It’s taking me all that I had, all that had

Chorus:

Here we go again

You can’t see through the mirror 

Here we go again

To run through all the red lights there’s no time as we go 

Verse:

Watch it has the puzzle I couldn’t see, 

Fell off the ride it was a shock to me

We could take this life away say we don’t need this

Listen to your eyes

They follow through more than you

It’s taking me all that I had, all that had

Chorus:

Here we go again

You can’t see through the mirror 

Here we go again

To run through all the red lights there’s no time as we go

Listen to your eyes

They follow through more than you

It’s taking me all that I had, all that had

Chorus:

Here we go again

You can’t see through the mirror 

Here we go again

To run through all the red lights there’s no time as we go

Starts Today

k. ward

When I was young, what did I see

All these eyes staring at me then they trickled down to two

And those two took us for a ride, a great journey so I couldn’t hide

Then our flight touched down on cue

It starts today no time for goodbyes

only these eyes

If it’s too much now we can take it slow

Baby steps I’ve been there I know 

And there’s nothing I could do, nothing I could say

Everything is right if we can make it till May

I’ve never seen the future like this before 

When I’m with you it’s like an open door

To a sky that never ends

On the other side, I see a glowing face

Many trips around the world we chase

Then it comes back down to two

It starts today no time for goodbyes

only these eyes

If it’s too much now we can take it slow

Baby steps I’ve been there I know 

And there’s nothing I could do, nothing I could say

Everything is right if we can make it till May

I could hold you and never look back
