Because

I hope your bike don't hit no rock. 

Your sailboat always got a dock

I hope your car has the smoothest lane

And never gets caught up in rain 

Because I love you

I pray all day, and twice at night

That you can, but don't have to fight

For dreams that seem too far away

I'd make this world tilt your way

Because I love you

I hope she treats you like a king

If she intents to wear your ring

I hope she gives you what I would

And life for you is just so good

Because I love you

Wanting Whiskey

A flood needs rain
Like a deer needs lead

Its the ugly dreams 

That get you out of bed

A hundred boys

May catch my eye

I'll drink a hundred beers

But I'll still be dry

When I want whiskey 

I want you. 

Tin House Topia

Somewhere in a bottle
Is a place you'll never be
If your heart is made of copper
And your soul has got a key

Lost in your own envy
The smell of joy you learn
Till the sky begins to darken
And the weather takes a turn

It hides in Tin House Topia
The demon in the rain 

Save the bottle,
Let it sink
Loose a lover
In a blink

Peaches, sweetest ever baited
Never waited, ever ripe
Have a moment of surrender
Be at last a bird of flight

Streets are paved with prize and lies
Must not wander out of sight
A stranger growing ever stronger
With the fading of the light

It hides in Tin House Topia
The demon in the rain 

Save the bottle,
Let it sink
Loose a lover
In a blink

From a vessel to a boat
Made of paper, barely float
Hide the victim, hurt yourself
It robs the greatest kind of wealth

A patch will cut a deeper wound
A stitch will leave you on your own
Sit and listen to the rain
Cry, but that wont stop the pain.
