On a road to no where I'll never get the part I wanted at the start I'll never get the chance And everybody knows I'll wait under the glow I'll pick up what you dropped I'll take it to your home And see if you're alone Trippin' through the woods Dying to get lost And document the cost Go to sleep I should go alone You'd agree My hope has overgrown At night, I'll leave you inside On your own Beauty on the run I never close my eyes When I see you at night Please don't pity me Every man agrees He sees you in his dreams I know you gotta leave Perfect every way I wish that you could stay I wish that you could know The terror in my bones From the beauty you own Go to sleep I should go alone You'd agree My hope has overgrown At night, I'll leave you inside On your own Go to sleep I should go alone You'd agree My hope has overgrown At night, I'll leave you inside On your own

What I Hold (free) 05:02
It's been a while since I saw Somebody like you Now, I don't know who to call You know I got nothin' new With your hair let down You take me around On a boat, with it's sail On the deck laying down My dear, have you forgotten me? It's been while since then You know it's only you I see Wish you were more than a friend Hell, if you were even that I'd know where you're at But I'm lost out at sea And there's now going back And I know you're looking at me But I know you won't say a thing And I won't tell you what I hold So, I'll sing it for you But you'll never know Just how long, O'Lord Must I wait to see her? Don't you know that I am torn Between the thorn and the bur? You'll never hear the words I sing to the birds I sing about you And all that you've never heard And I know you're looking at me But I know you won't say a thing And I won't tell you what I hold So, I'll sing it for you But you'll never know And I know you're looking at me But I know you won't say a thing And I won't tell you what I hold So, I'll sing it for you But you'll never know

Violet (free) 04:25
I stole time for you But you'll never know What I mean Get a glimpse of a river run dry With your finger tips Making me clean Make a move. You better go now Or you're gonna lose Darlin' it's your call On a limb, never getting out Of everything I'm in Maybe I'll fall All I wanna see is the other side Take me through your mind Violet never cared about the war All I wanna see is the other side Take me through your mind Violet never cared about the war Make a scene. Everybody's gonna know What I mean Forcing your hand I'm a ghost, impossible To diagnose What are your demands? Would a spy meet you in a letter For another try? Making me sing She's a girl, and she couldn't have another Man rule her world Making her leave. All I wanna see is the other side Take me through your mind Violet never cared about the war All I wanna see is the other side Take me through your mind Violet never cared about the war Shaking on the sea from a simple thought Feelings that I fought Violet never cared about the war You're making it hard to stay in touch And baby, I don't need much Violet never cared about the war All I wanna see is the other side Take me through your mind Violet never cared about the war All I wanna see is the other side Take me through your mind Violet never cared about the war

Maybe you're right, maybe you're right But we'll never know Maybe you're right, maybe you're right But we'll never know I do what I can, don't you see The pillar in the green? Someone to hold, someone to know Forcing me to lead A city with the fallen You know where I am A city with the fallen You know where I am Maybe you're right, maybe you're right But we'll never know Had to open the door to your mind I'll wait to see it close I'll throw away the flaw You're forcing me to creep Past the empty room Where somehow I know you sleep A city with the fallen You know where I am A city with the fallen You know where I am Everything that's sinking Will one day emerge Though I long to hold you We'll forever diverge Maybe you're right, maybe you're right But we'll never know

about

Andrew White Portland, Oregon

Bred more by wandering than by his native Ohio, Andrew White weaves pop-folk tune-stories that feature enough personalities to populate a small town. Armed with his sister's haunting falsetto, he renders scenes and stories of staggering emotional variety. His multi-instrumental blends of the ordinary and supernatural provoke the thinking mind as much as it will the dancing feet. ... more
