Track Name: Partner In Crime
It wouldn’t be that hard for me to live life on my own.
Work all day and nights are free, it sounds so nice although I might get lonely.
Yes, you’ve shown me…

I’ve been getting by with only one.
Adding someone else might add more fun.
‘Cause having you close by my side changes everything.

You add some danger to my life,
Something different than 9 to 5.
I like having you around, our get-a-way car cruisin’ through town.
I don’t mind doing time with my partner in crime.

I handle myself differently with you close by my side.
You steal my heart consistently and open my eyes wide to who I can be,
When I’m not lonely.

I’ve been getting by with only one.
Adding someone else adds way more fun.
‘Cause having you close by my side changes everything.

You add some danger to my life,
Something different than 9 to 5.
I like having you around, our get-a-way car cruisin’ through town.
I don’t mind doing time with my partner in crime.

I need some way to loosen up,
And I know that you and me always have lots of fun.
Like I’ve said before, I need you more and more.
What is life good for alone?

You add some danger to my life,
Something different than 9 to 5.
I like having you around, our get-a-way car cruisin’ through town.
I don’t mind doing time with my partner in crime.
Track Name: Learning How to Love
I used to hold your hand after you grabbed mine.
Now I’m ready long before you even get to my side,
Because throughout all our time together, I’ve learned something:
I’m not perfect, but I’m getting better at learning how to love.

Learning how to love means thinking ‘bout what you need.
Learning how to love don’t always come easily.
So many people always wonder what went wrong,
How could the fire burn out?
The first flame can only last so long without more to burn,
Without new things learned.
So I’ll just keep on learning how to love.

When you’re running late and I’m waiting forever,
I no longer cross my arms and wonder how on Earth we’ll make it together,
Because throughout all those times I’ve waited, I’ve learned something:
We’re not perfect, but girl, we’ve made it, we’re still learning how to love.

Learning how to love ain’t just a one-time fight.
Learning how to love starts over with the new daylight.
So many people always wonder what went wrong,
How could the fire burn out?
The first flame can only last so long without more to burn,
Without new things learned.
So I’ll just keep on learning how to love.

Learning how to love…
Learning how to love helps me make some sense of it all.
Learning how to love helps me be sure that we won’t fall.
So many people always wonder what went wrong,
How could the fire burn out?
The first flame can only last so long without more to burn,
Without new things learned.
So I’ll just keep on learning how to love.
Track Name: Where You Left Off
She was left at the door,
Feeling alone and so unsure,
Screaming, “Please don’t go,
How will I grow up on my own?”

She just held on close,
Gripping me as I just froze,
Hoping the tears don’t come,
Although he just left everyone.

I doubt that he’ll find something better,
Than this family knit with love together.

Let me tell you sir,
Thank you for the way that you raised my girl.
She’s strong and unafraid.
I won’t tell her but I wish that you had stayed,
To see her smile some more,
To see the girl I can’t ignore.
But I’ve picked up where you left off.

She works hard, just how she was taught,
And holds to the love that he forgot.
But she don’t need his mistakes,
To constantly cause her heart to break.

I’m not sure why he left us wondering,
But I got something I should tell him.

You’ve changed things up for us,
Made things a little tough.
But it won’t be enough to untie our hearts.
I guess you’re on your own.
Just know that she’s not alone.
Track Name: The Right Train
Tell me what could I be thinking?
What goes through my brain like a rail bound train?
I ride along until the wrong catches up to me.

Why can’t I choose the right way?
It seems the right train seldom gets used.
Why do I choose the wrong train,
And learn the hard way, what I already knew?

Tell me how can I change my thinking?
If I focus on truth to carry me through,
I’ll ride along, and leave the wrong way behind.

Why can’t I choose the right way?
It seems the right train seldom gets used.
Why do I choose the wrong train,
And learn the hard way, what I already knew?

I need a change, gotta get off this train real soon.
Track Name: Someone to Come Home to
When you’re always alone,
It’s hard to notice the weather,
You just want things to get better.
When you’re always alone,
Everything could seem just fine,
But you’re hurting inside.

Life could be much worse,
But if there’s one thing I could reverse,

I wish I had someone to come home to.
I wish I had someone to come home to.

When you’re all by yourself,
You start to think too much,
Falling way out of touch.
When you’re all by yourself,
You keep on moving along,
But you know something’s wrong.

People belong together.
I said people belong together.

I know I’m fine alone.
I can take good care of myself.
But too much time on my own,
Makes me wish I had someone else.

I wish I had someone to come home to.
