The Friday Drops

Standing in the Rain Verse 1 You look like you’re broken, You’re tired from trying, As you try to keep it together, Your soulless eyes are crying. But I still see the fire Burning underneath the pain Chorus So let it all out, You’re standing in the rain, Let the tears fall down, Through the thunder and the shame, You’re just healing from the storm, My friend, Remember who you are. Verse 2 You’ve been holding up the world, Like it’s resting on your chest, Saying “I’m fine, don’t worry,” While your heart’s screaming in pain. Chorus So let it all out, You’re standing in the rain, Let the tears fall down, Through the thunder and the shame, You’re just healing from the storm, My friend, Remember who you are. Bridge And when you feel like leaving Remember who’s losing You don’t have to speak We’ll just listen. When the world feels too heavy, And you’re sinking in the night, I will sit in shadows, Till you find your own light. Chorus So let it all out, You’re standing in the rain, Let the tears fall down, Through the thunder and the shame, You’re just healing from the storm, My friend, Remember who you are. Outro Yeah… My friend.

First Date Verse 1 I fell in love on the first date, I swear I knew right then we were soulmates, I turned the corner, saw you standing there, Sunlight catching in your summer dress, You were smiling as you climbed into the truck, Chorus From a coffee cup to a midnight sky, Every little moment felt right, One look, one touch, the perfect start, Didn’t know it then, but you had my heart, Yeah that first night changed my life, I fell in love on the first date with you. Verse 2 We went for coffee, then I reached for my wallet, Realized I’d left it somewhere at home, Lucky for me I had some change in the console, Paid for your latte, just water for my own, I probably looked like a fool, Your drink was too hot, so we waited it out, Walked Fish Creek till the sky faded down, Sat on a bench, trading stories and years, From where we’d been to how we got here, Didn’t know how far we’d go, Chorus From a coffee cup to a midnight sky, Every little moment felt right, One look, one touch, the perfect start, Didn’t know it then, but you had my heart, Yeah that first night changed my life, I fell in love on the first date with you. Verse 3 The first date ended, but it didn’t feel done, So we said “why not” and made it two in one, Had some food, sang karaoke late, I walked you out while the night turned grey, Asked for a kiss as you drove away, Knowing you’d be the last one I’d ever chase.

Ones Best Friend [Verse 1] Once best friend is in the mirror I've got no faith in you Crazy as this may seem I've had my share of dreams And the sky is dark But you don't know what you mean today What you mean today [Chorus] Cause you see me every day I'm picking at my life But you don't wanna try no more Just cause you thought you loved me Just cause you thought you loved me [Verse 2] So look into these eyes And take my fear away But don't you think that we should Just leave it for today But as I'm left behind Awaiting for you to say [Chorus] Cause you see me every day I'm picking at my life But you don't wanna try no more Just cause you thought you loved me Just cause you thought you loved me [Bridge] [Short Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Cause you see me every day I'm picking at my life But you don't wanna try no more Just cause you thought you loved me Just cause you thought you loved me Just cause you thought you loved me Just cause you thought you loved me

Looking Down From Above [Verse 1] You made them laugh You made them giggle They ran around with a smile Little do they know Of a dark cloud But you smile anyhow We'll never forget They'll always be told Of how much their daddy loved them most [Chorus] Looking down from above With a cheeky grin You're proud of what she's become A loving, caring mom [Verse 2] But now you're gone It's all too quiet There's no more laughs and fewer words now They'll never forget Their daddy, the rocket ship, the horse He was whatever they wanted [Chorus] Looking down from above With a cheeky grin You're proud of what she's become A loving, caring mom [Verse 3] You're not forgotten Nor will you be They know you're there every day We'll never forget They'll always be told Of how much their daddy loved them most [Chorus] Looking down from above With a cheeky grin You're proud of what she's become [Breakdown] A loving, caring mom (A loving) (A caring) (A loving) (A caring mom) (A loving) (A caring mom) (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) [Outro] (A loving) (A caring) (A loving) (A caring mom) (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Prison Break Verse 1 Lying here, looking at the walls, counting the days away, Thinking back on everything that brought me to this place. Wondering where I lost my way, And what mistake keeps us apart. Chorus You need to smile to guide the way, I need your laughter just to know you’re near. Every step we take brings us closer, So let’s run to be with each other Verse 2 I hear the keys turning down the hall, footsteps fading slow, Whispered in the dark are starting to grow. Freedom’s calling through the cracks, Saying we don’t have to stay. Chorus You need to smile to guide the way, I need your laughter just to know you’re near. Every step we take brings us closer, So let’s run to be with each other Bridge Tonight the gates don’t look so tall, And the fences don’t feel strong at all. Your voice in my mind keeps telling me, “We’re not meant to stay behind these walls.” Chorus You need to smile to light the way, I’ll follow your heartbeat out of here. Every breath we take brings us closer— No more chains, no more fear. Let’s break through and be together, Yeah, let’s run and be with each other.

Control Verse 1 Your in my head, you’ve got control Pulling at my soul So I lay here, until you're through, There’s nothing I can do, Chorus I break but you pull me back again, Love hurts most when it’s wearing thin, I’m chained to every memory left behind, You’re the poison in my veins and the cure I can’t find. Verse Every word you say cuts like a blade, Will I be saved? The echo of your voice inside my head, I can’t forget. Chorus I break but you pull me back again, Love hurts most when it’s wearing thin, I’m chained to every memory left behind, You’re the poison in my veins and the cure I can’t find. Bridge Maybe I’ll slip through your fingers someday, Find the strength to finally walk away, But every time I try, the past takes hold, Tell me why I can’t let go, Why your fire still burns cold, Is it love or just control Final Chorus I break but you pull me back again, Love hurts most when it’s wearing thin, I’m chained to every memory left behind, You’re the poison in my veins and the cure I can’t find.

Across the Sea Verse 1 Left my town, the sky was grey Ireland fading with the waves Chased a dream across the sea London lights and factories Clocked in hours, held my ground But work dried up, like the sound Of old songs in smokey bars So I looked west and packed my scars Chorus No roots, no maps, just a name Another plane, another flame From Belfast rain to Montréal snow I keep on moving where the work will go Verse 2 (new section) Canada cold, but I felt light Something in me said, “This feels right” Built from nothing, day by day But even here, I don’t quite stay Chorus (new section) No roots, no maps, just a name Another job, another frame From Dublin streets to Calgary’s snow I keep on moving where the work will go Bridge (new section) I’ve loved and lost and left behind A trail of towns, in a tangled mind But I don’t run I just survive every move it keeps me alive Final Chorus – (new section) No roots, no maps, just a name Still chasing light in every place If home’s not bricks or where you’re born Then maybe I’ve been home all along Outro – soft (new section) Maybe I’ve been home… All along.
