I Never Saw You Coming!

He was born in South Montana-
a gentleman to everyone.
He grew up just like an oak tree-
tall and strong in the burnin' sun.

She was just a city girl,
living in a concrete ocean
Fell asleep every night to fading
lights and sirens

Then one day in late September
Leaves were turning gold and brown
He was on the coast for the holiday
She was desperate to leave town...

I Never Saw You Coming
Love Was Lost On Me
Your Emerald Eyes That Burn So Bright
Cause I loved your smile 'fore I knew your name
and I met you up on North and Main

He was counting cracks in the sidewalk
She was on her way to the bakery
They each came around the corner and
face to face with destiny...

They could never really know
Why it took 23 Long Lonely years
to finally find the perfect one

I Never Saw You Coming
Love Was Lost On Me
Your Emerald Eyes That Burn So Bright
Cause I loved your smile 'fore I knew your name
and I met you up on North and Main

You Surround Me with Colour and Laughter

I Never Saw You Coming
Love Was Lost On Me
Your Emerald Eyes That Burn So Bright
Cause I loved your smile 'fore I knew your name
and I met you up on North and Main

I Loved Your Smile 'Fore I knew Your Name
and I Met You Up on North and Main.

Two Days after Leaving

Carolina

Music and Lyrics by Chris Miller

Two days after leaving...

There is nothing left to say

Was it "Wrong" when I left you alone?

'Cause I can not remember when

love was reflected by you.

For now you're lonely

Maybe you’ll find your way

but for now...you're on your own

Two days after leaving...

You'll regret the choice you made

When I gave you my heart I was young

and I can still remember when

My trust was murdered by you

Everything that I said was thrown into my face

You'll hear this song when you're feeling

lost and lonely

Maybe you’ll find your way

but for now…you're on your own

I won't play the fool anymore-

"silence is my only friend"

It hurts to know how much you miss

(well, so far)

Two days after leaving...

There is nothing left to say

Two days after leaving...

There is nothing left to say

Two days after leaving...

Rain, Rain, Rain

Rainstorm

Music and Lyrics by Chris Miller


You stay up all night, don’t you?
Waiting for an answer to save your life
cause its hard to face the day alone.
Oh no, it’s terrible-how bad it gets
Won’t you wake up and see
those pills won’t fix everything


There was never before
And there never has been
Someone to open my eyes
Open the door to my heart
When the world was caving in,

You stood strong
In the midst of the rain storm


Open the door,
I am soaking wet
and freezing from the cold
You look warm to me…
Oh God how miserable how I feel,
when life is grey!
You can take my pain away….


There was never before
And there never has been
Someone to open my eyes
Open the door to my heart
When the world was caving

You stood strong
in the midst of the rain storm

Who Am I if I Don't Know?


Slow Down
Music and Lyrics by Chris Miller

I was feeling light and free
Sinking in an endless sea
Oh it never occurred to me that I was floating…
There was nothing I could do
And honestly I thought I knew
I never even had a clue that I was drowning…till I let you in
But I am alive…

Life is calling
The world outside is crazy
I don’t believe you when you say
“Slow Down!”
Well everybody thinks that they’re right but
Who am I if I don’t know?

She was running fast as hell until she fell into a
Well you know its not easy to show and tell
When you’ve got bruises…
And when she wakes up every morning she feels like ‘this could be the end’
I want to show her that there’s a reason we were given life and her life’s worth the fight
When she feels alone…

Life is calling
The world outside is crazy
I don’t believe you when you say
“Slow Down!”
Well everybody thinks that they’re right but
Who am I if I don’t know?
(Bridge)
Life is calling the world outside is crazy
I don’t believe you when you say
“Slow Down!”
Well everybody thinks that they’re right but
Who am I if I don’t know?

Living, Breathing, and Writing Again


Too Late (tentative title)

Music and Lyrics by Chris Miller

Verse 1:

It was a dirt road...

We grew up in the Country and we felt like nothing could ever change us, nothing could ever make us leave our home.

And we waited for days, and the years went by but you never showed up; now we are grown up.

Chorus:

Who are you now?

We're okay.

Who are you now?

It's too late

Verse 2:

I do not notice that you're not there because I'm used to it; I used to care-I used to lie awake at night, thinking about you....

And if you're wondering where we are, maybe you could try a little bit harder

to wake up and see that you don't mean a damn to me.

Chorus:

Who are you now?

We're okay

Who are you now?

It's too late

Bridge:

I couldn't love the way I do if it wasn't for my mother, and I wouldn't hate myself sometimes if it weren't for you.

I couldn't love the way I do....

Chorus:

Who are you now?

We're okay

Who are you now?

You're too late....
