You are all that I wait for.

Some new words from Mat Kearney off his new album City of Black and White. Here is "Closer to Love":

She got the call today
One out of the gray
And when the smoke cleared
It took her breath away
She said she didn't believe
It could happen to me
I guess we're all one phone call
from our knees
We're gonna get there soon

If every building falls
And all the stars fade
We'll still be singing this song
The one they can't take away
I'm gonna get there soon
She's gonna be there too
Cryin' in her room
Prayin' Lord come through
We're gonna get there soon

Oh it's your life
Oh it's your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love

Meet me once again
Down off Lake Michigan
Where we could feel the storm blowin
Down with the wind
And don't apologize
For all the tears you've cried
You've been way too strong now for all your life

I'm gonna get there soon
You're gonna be there too
Cryin' in your room
Prayin' Lord come through
We're gonna get there soon

Oh it's your life
Oh it's your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love

Cause you are all that I wait for
All of my life
(We're gonna get there)
You are all that I wait for

All of my life

You pull me closer to love 
Closer to love 
Pull me closer to love
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love 
Closer to love
Closer to love

Pull me closer to love

But now there's nothing left to do but waste my time.

Going to see these guys next week. Just picked up the new album and I'm really digging this song right now. 

Copeland "Should You Return"

You see the night is all I have to make me fear
And all I want is just a love to make it hurt
'Cause all I need is something fine to make me loose
Now it's a funny way I find myself with you

Because this song is all I have to make me feel
And all it takes is just a love to make it hurt
And every sound erased in time could make me loose
Now it's a funny way I find myself with you

But now there's nothing left to do but waste my time
I never knew where to move on, I never knew what to rely upon
Now there's nothing left to say to change your mind
And if you're unhappy still I will be hanging on your line
Should you return, should you return, should you return

Because the night is all I have to make me fear
And all I want is just a drink to make it worth while
'Cause all I need is someone close to make me loose
Now it's a funny way I find myself with you

But there's nothing left to do but waste my time
I never knew where to move, I never knew what to rely upon
But now there's nothing left to say to change your mind
And if you're unhappy still I will be hanging on your line

And now there's nothing left to do to draw your eyes
I never knew where to move on, I never knew what to rely upon
And now there's nothing left to say to change your mind
And if you're just sinking down I will be pulling on your line
