Stay Here With Me 03:24
lyrics
Stay Here With Me I’m gonna find you in the hotel bar on Newland Avenue Maybe it’ll feel we’re in the movies or maybe just something new Cause lately I’ve been feeling like a fever’s burning and I need to see to believe How long you wanna be gone, you can stay here with me I’m gonna drive you to a room upstate and throw away the key I’m gonna watch the sun sneak up through the window by where we sleep ‘Cause you belong in the songs that sing with sweet simple melodies How long you wanna be gone, you can stay here with me How long you wanna be gone, you can stay here with me Let's check out for a while Miles and miles From all the places we’ve been Let's hold on to this night So tight Until it's spent SOLO We don’t have to speak a word about the scars we cannot hide Just one time I wanna pour a drink and let someone inside Is there ever a way to really know if what you want is what you need How long you wanna be gone, you can stay here with me How long you wanna be gone, you can stay here with me How long you wanna be gone, you can stay here with me Jesse Terry – Jackson Beach Music (SESAC) 2013/Neilson Hubbard – Plastic Bird Music (BMI)

Rattling Cage 03:44
lyrics
Rattling Cage Little girl, yeah we’ve never known a prison in this world But now our tears they fall like water, colors, city lights they run All that remains is charcoal stars Faint sound of freedom in our ears Speeding away like stolen cars, oh Don’t it seem, like everyone has found some calling here Are we the only ones gone crazy, frozen faces in the dark Knowing we’re so far from home I’d like to meet you off the train Kiss your hand and say let’s go, oh Yeah it’s killing me that I can’t save us It’s not as simple as it was before It’s hard to live in this concrete valley And not get lost in the fray Feeling helpless, helpless, shaking our rattling cage Where’s your head, ‘cause sometimes I don’t know just where you are You wanna try our hand as gypsies, I swear you’ve never looked so tired And your shoes are just as worn I wouldn’t miss these crooked smiles Everybody’s keepin’ score, oh Yeah it’s killing me that I can’t save us It’s not as simple as it was before It’s hard to live in this concrete valley And not get lost in the fray Feeling helpless, helpless shaking our rattling cage It can’t be much longer now It can’t be much longer now, much longer now Yeah it’s killing me that I can’t save us It’s not as simple as it was before It’s hard to live in this concrete valley And not get lost in the fray Feeling helpless, helpless shaking our rattling Helpless, helpless shaking our rattling Helpless, helpless shaking our rattling cage Jesse Terry – Jackson Beach Music (SESAC) 2012

Feel That Way Again 03:25
lyrics
Feel That Way Again Listen to the sound that the wheels make Peelin’ that rubber like a jailbreak Listen to the sound of the motor shake When I roll the windows down Lately we’ve been reading the wrong signs Playin’ it safe, biding our time Tryin’ to find gold in a coal mine When it’s nowhere to be found We ain’t coming back home tonight, gonna stay out late with our friends Wanna bet it all, make pretend That time ain’t closing in Wanna feel that way again Why we gotta grow up so fast Everybody’s scared of coming in last My money’s on us and the green grass Gonna prove the whole world wrong We ain’t coming back home tonight, gonna stay out late with our friends Wanna bet it all, make pretend That time ain’t closing in Wanna feel that way again When you walk on a wire, don’t ever look down ‘Cause you’ll have to choose and you might forget The thing you will lose, the thing you’ll regret SOLO We ain’t coming back home tonight, gonna stay out late with our friends Wanna bet it all, make pretend That time ain’t closing in Wanna feel that way again Wanna feel that way, feel that way again Jesse Terry - Jackson Beach Music (SESAC) 2013/Neilson Hubbard – Plastic Bird Music (BMI) 2013

Don't Let Me Fall For You 03:59
lyrics
Don’t Let Me Fall For You You got these piercing blue eyes You know I can’t say a word All these fears on the tip of my tongue I swear baby will never be heard ‘Cause I’ve seen them cold I’ve been in that prison before When your world gets old, your world gets old So don’t let me fall for you Don’t let me fall for you ‘Cause I can’t get back on my feet Get back on my feet The way you do You know there might be a chance That everyone’s wrong So if you wanna lay with me tonight The door’s open and the radio’s on Gimme your drug It won’t take much right now To open me up, to open me up Don’t let me fall for you Don’t let me fall for you ‘Cause I can’t back on my feet Get back on my feet The way you do All of the past keeps on rushing back when you’ve gone away So don’t let me fall for you Don’t let me fall for you ‘Cause I can’t back on my feet Get back on my feet The way you do Jesse Terry Jackson Beach Music (SESAC)

Deeper Wells 03:50
lyrics
Deeper Wells I will shield my eyes, I can’t bear to see your face ‘Cause back here in this town I feel like a man that I’ve replaced And I would change it if I could, but I would lose myself So I’ll keep you locked up in the deeper wells I’m an orphan child finally taken in On some green and distant shore where someday I might live But tonight these silver strings will ring and hide this hell And I’ll keep you locked up in the deeper wells How I long to thrash the water and look over the edge But no matter how I love you, there was nothing left unsaid I don’t know if there is time or if the water is dry I will un-clench my hands and lead my rose away ‘Cause we can’t raise our own with this poison in my veins Oh ‘cause every time I trust I get caught up in your spell So I’ll keep you locked up in the deeper wells How I long to thrash the water and look over the edge But no matter how I love you, there was nothing left unsaid I don’t know if there is time or if the water is dry, dry I will shield my eyes, can’t bear to see your face ‘Cause back here in this town I feel like a man that I’ve replaced And I would change it if I could, but I would lose myself So I’ll keep you locked up in the deeper wells So I’ll keep you locked up in the deeper wells Jesse Terry – Jackson Beach Music (SESAC) 2013

Marina 04:12
lyrics
Marina Half a mural on her wall Swirling sunsets, metallic stars And she gets home late, just another night Words stream out above streetlights I picture her far-off stare She could have gone anywhere Instead she’s bouncing off all the satellites Some things never will die Oh Marina Oh my the song comes slow For a face I did not know For some words now etched in stone and in my mind Oh my I must confess I hate to see the light like this The opposite of loneliness is where I am Oh Marina, why’d you have to go Why’d you have to go Amber hair in a photograph She’s tryin’ hard not to laugh I woke up today feelin’ so damn young Free to go where the muse may run Oh Marina Oh my the song comes slow For a face I did not know For some words now etched in stone and in my mind Oh my I must confess I hate to see the light like this The opposite of loneliness is where I am Oh Marina Thanks for passing through my friend I swear I’ll always look ahead It’s all that matters in the end CHORUS Jesse Terry – Jackson Beach Music (SESAC) 2012

Awake At Last 05:15
lyrics
Awake At Last Black blue jeans on a four-post bed Breath so close it’s inside my head The night comes slow but it’s gone so fast Was it all a dream, I’m awake at last Oooooo Tree-top glare through my window-pane I was born right here in this thirsty flame I see spinning stars, I feel blades of grass Was it all a dream, I’m awake at last Oooooo The view can change from a roof looking down Where the brambles grew there’s a postcard town And it’s one small glimpse through the looking glass Was it all a dream, I’m awake at last Oooooo Jesse Terry – Jackson Beach Music (SESAC) 2013/Neilson Hubbard – Plastic Bird Music (BMI) 2013

Barbed Wire 03:46
lyrics
Barbed Wire Everybody wants a piece of my time Everybody wants a piece of my time But I can’t help thinkin’ what I left behind A simple girl she don’t ask for much Just a blur of the world outside her window Just a morning on the coast with nowhere to go Tell me when did I lose my reckless heart ‘Cause some dark day she won’t need my touch While the roses bloom here tall and wild And I can get tangled in the vines Air should taste so sweet but she is gone Crimson on my feet and hands No one sees it like I can This is barbed wire Everybody likes to tell you what is home Everybody likes to tell you what is home Maybe we found it many moons ago And all this time I’ve been running from the truth While the roses bloom here tall and wild And I can get tangled in the vines Air should taste so sweet but she is gone Crimson on my feet and hands No one sees it like I can This is barbed wire, barbed wire, barbed wire Barbed Wire Jesse Terry – Jackson Beach Music (SESAC) 2013

Beekeeper 03:09
lyrics
Beekeeper Beekeeper, beekeeper it’s winter tonight Must be so warm in their honeycomb hive The season is early I don’t see why you rush And you say it don’t taste so sweet if you never get stung Don’t taste so sweet if you never get stung Whoa, oh, oh beekeeper Beekeeper Beekeeper, beekeeper no gossamer veil You’re swarmed by the soldiers but never do wail You move slowly with smoke clouds and billowing dust And you say it don’t taste so sweet if you never get stung Don’t taste so sweet if you never get stung Whoa, oh, oh beekeeper Beekeeper I heard as a child you were lied to and this ain’t your name This must be just the truth and the calling you crave Don’t the world look alright through these hexagon frames Beekeeper, beekeeper I’ll never go home I was too young when they left me in the cold So I know I’ll find Eden when I find someone You say it don’t taste so sweet if you never get stung Don’t taste so sweet if you never get stung Don’t taste so sweet if you never get stung Whoa, oh, oh beekeeper Beekeeper Jesse Terry – Jackson Beach Music (SESAC) 2012

This Should Be Home 04:45
lyrics
This Should Be Home Such a familiar street The ground beneath my feet It keeps on moving, it’s never stopped moving The house is painted grey But it all looks the same There’s a garden, such a beautiful garden Home, this should be home I should feel warm But I gotta get out There ain’t no more blood in this stone This should be home I found a love out here And she ain’t got my fear And this can’t touch her, I won’t let it touch her Home, this should be home I should feel warm But I gotta get out There ain’t no more blood in this stone This should be home When I’m far away I can’t take the blame So get me on that road This should be home This should be home I don’t wanna let go This should be home Jesse Terry – Jackson Beach Music (SESAC) 2012

Second Dance 03:34
lyrics
Second Dance Oh tell me now, tell me now what would you do If the love of your life came back to you You know the one, you were both children and there’s where it died Oh wouldn’t you, wouldn’t you move earth and stars Leave your safe little prison and freshly cut yard Just to remember the way that it feels when you’re truly alive Heaven help me, I have fallen I’ve been given, another chance You have to answer, when fate comes calling And take her hand for a second dance Oh when you are young, you’re not yet aware That something could be so perfect and rare But over the years it becomes clear to you just what you lost Now I’m stealing back the rest of my life Splitting the seams with a double-edged knife It’s gonna hurt but I know it’s worth it, whatever the cost Heaven help me, I have fallen I’ve been given, another chance You have to answer, when fate comes calling And take her hand for a second dance Musical Interlude Heaven help me, I have fallen I’ve been given, another chance You have to answer, when fate comes calling And take her hand for a second dance Take her hand for a second dance Jesse Terry - Jackson Beach Music (SESAC)2009/Angela Kaset - Quirk & Foible Music (ASCAP)2009
