DAY FOUR / The White Lights Tour
from the way You forgive me to the way you forget
these are the ways You make me feel alive
I'm alive, I'm alive
to the promise that keeps myself moving ahead
that was the day I became alive
I'm alive, I'm alive
Lord, I need You
I need You more than life
So much more than life
Jesus, Jesus
more than life

DAY TWO / The White Lights Tour
I love the distance, it's that you cant take it
How should I feel if you miss the old days?
The look on your face said everything's changing so fast
Call anytime you need,
Call anytime you need,
What would you do if this fell through?
I love the distance, it's that you cant take it.
How should I feel if you miss the old days?
The look on your face said everything's changing so fast
Call anytime you need,
Call anytime you need,
Call anytime you need,
(Call anytime, I'll be waiting)
Call anytime you need,
(Call anytime, I'll be waiting)

DAY ONE / The White Lights Tour
florida's sun is watching her every move
kentucky burnt up with the new year, that has to tell you something
I wasn't ready yet to make the next move
no matter what I hear I'll be right here waiting
no matter what you say I'll be on your side
don't ever give up here tonight
sooner or later I know we'll just be dreaming
anywhere you go, I'll still feel you
your necklace around my neck, I'm still wearing
it's all frayed now, but I tied a new knot
no matter what I hear I'll be right here waiting
no matter what you say I'll be on your side
don't ever give up here tonight
sooner or later I know we'll just be dreaming
anywhere you go, I'll still feel you
as I sit around right here, you sit around right there
anywhere you go

November 7th (The End To A Run)
just let me dedicate a song
to a girl who'd turn this boy to stone
and you know who you are
here's a hint, she doesnt have a car
or the time to be in love with me
why did you say
this feeling has to stay?
left me to wait for so long
you don't have to stay
but I hope you'll do it anyway
all you did was up and go
excuse me but this won't take long
i'm sorry for writing you this song
but just what do you think you deserve?
because when you had the chance for romance
you burned it at both ends
i guess I'm not sorry at the least
what made you say
this feeling has to stay?
picking yourself for so long

November 6th, 2009 (Short Run)
Here I come New York City.
And deep in thought on a little sleep,
Distance took my love away.
Do you need to love?
Do you need to love?
Do you need to love someone?
I stare at strangers subtly,
Reading and softly speaking.
When Princeton boards, and sits by me.
Sir, can I ask you something?
Do you need to love?
Do you need to love?
Do you need to love someone?
Oh, do you need? (Oh, do you need?)
Oh, do you need? (Oh, do you need?)
Do you need...
Do you need someone?
Sometimes when there is no one to love you back, all the time.
When you're in need and desperate to fall asleep.
Ain't it wild? Oh, aren't you tired?
Oh, isn't it making you lose your mind?
Well do you need to love?
Do you need to love?
Do you need to love?

Surprise Surprise / The Farewell Circuit
I thought that I lost you
I thought you were so gone
I thought you had left me
Thought you were so far gone and I was left alone.
I thought that you wanted,
me to be someone,
me to be someone
me to be somebody else
So I changed myself
If you become my everything
If you become…
You changed your mind
I thought that you came back
but then you just turned back
And I was left there crying on my knees
Crying on my knees
But to my surprise you stuck around
Surprise surprise
But to my surprise…

So I decided to keep my blog going while I am out on the road.
Today, we embarked on a three day journey to San Luis Obispo, Sacramento, and back. As we filled up for gas this morning around lunch time, I noticed a huge puddle of liquid underneath the car, so I uneasily knelt to the ground to see what was up. Some older gentlemen next to me started describing what it could have been. I in no way remember what he was saying, because of my non existent knowledge of cars, but I was thankful for his time. It stopped leaking though, so we decided to continue on to Ben's (our sound guy) house.
It was great being with each other again. All of the touring memories quickly came to mind and collectively were in a great mood. But a new and exciting thing about this trip so far was that it was our new drummers (Mitch Krebs) first show with us. What better way to kick it off than being on the road together for this short amount of time? So all in all, we were all excited to leave home for these few upcoming days.
We are currently at the Downtown Brew in San Luis Obispo playing with some local bands, and our new friends in Nothing Ever Stays, who were gracious enough to set this show up for us and promote it like crazy. They have worked very hard for this, so guys, thank you very much for all of your hard work. I hope to pay you back some time in the near future when needed.
I am literally in the "green room" with bits and pieces of the green walls missing and out of place. This venue has been a favorite of ours over the last couple months. So needless to say, we are happy to back!
Well, as the bands set up and sound check, we look forward to seeing how tonight ends up! With prayer, we feel set to go, so if anyone is reading this, please be praying for us tonight and for the show we have in Sacramento on Friday night. I sincerely miss all of my friends back at home, and even though lots has happened this past week, I know the Lord has been stirring something huge in my heart and in the hearts of others. Even if there is more pain to come, I believe God has the best in store, even when I think I already know what's best.
I still feel the same. Farewell for now.
