Lyrics
Sunday Shade of Blue
Written By: Jake Brown/Parker Fowler
Well the morning came down with a throne and a crown
And took back what the night time stole
And the glory of Sunday makes me wish for one day
To make the pieces whole
The forecast calls for sunshine--I wish for rain
To wash away the outside and this blame
Chorus:
Yeah I know you own my heart
Somewhere too far away
And I’d come to find you and take back my love
If I only knew what you’d say
Cause I stand here holding nothing but the past
Running from a memory of a love that didn’t last
And thinking of everything and anything to do with you
And feeling nothing, feeling nothing new
But a Sunday Shade of Blue
Now I sit here looking at pictures
Of everything that used to be
And I scratch my head and remember all that was said
And think of where you could be
I damn this storm that’s raging in my soul
The thoughts of broken memories take their toll
Chorus:
Yeah I know you own my heart
Somewhere too far away
And I’d come to find you and take back my love
If I only knew what you’d say
Cause I stand here holding nothing but the past
Running from a memory of a love that didn’t last
And thinking of everything and anything to do with you
And feeling nothing, feeling nothing new
But a Sunday Shade of Blue
This Girl
Written By: Jake Brown/Parker Fowler
This Girl
This girl just won't talk to strangers
That girl has a waiting line
This girl just might be the one
But others come to mind
This girl craves a conversation
That girl wants to break you down
This girl is the reason for
The one no more around
Chorus:
We talk together
About ourselves, our friends
And everything that she thinks we could be
In a change of scenery
For worse or better
We say it's good enough
‘Til everything we once thought wonderful
Suddenly seems like it was before
This Girl
This girl stands around in circles
That girl likes the corner view
This girl says she’s innocent
Like all her lies are true
This girl just can't stand the silence
That girl stares before she speaks
This girl wears her heart out waiting
The other on her sleeve
We talk together
About ourselves, our friends
And everything that she thinks we could be
In a change of scenery
For worse or better
We say it's good enough
‘Til everything we once thought wonderful
Suddenly seems like it was before
This Girl
This girl hates the sound of single
That girl says she was born that way
This girl steals the wedding cake
While others chase bouquets
This girl swears she's falling for me
That girl found love somewhere else
This girl is the Paradise
The other one the Hell
Chorus
Black Dresses and Champagne
Written By: Jake Brown/Parker Fowler
Black Dresses and Champagne
She awakes to see the light that creeps
Through the curtain call
Her turn to rise
She puts the makeup on her face and walks
Out into a world
And a stage
Cause she sees life now
Through big darkened shades
And she turns her head out
To something calling out there
In California
The snow is falling 3 A.M. has gone
And left me standing here
Cause she wants to stay
But I can see what time will hold for me
When she will wave goodbye
Aboard to fame
Cause she sees life now
In black dresses and champagne
And she's dreaming from here
Of something shining out there
In California
So she calls me on a Tuesday with the news
And I can barely move as she explains:
I can see my name in lights
And I am free to dance the night away
And wake up in the movies
Cause I live life now
From a hotel in L.A.
And it's 3 A.M. now
And you should see the stars out
In California
And I'm still in love now
With someone who plays her life out
In California

Ink-Covered Napkins
Written By: Jake Brown/Parker Fowler
Ink-Covered Napkins
I’m slowing down
To see myself
A thousand pictures
Upon a shelf
Cause I’ve been writing
For far too long
Clichés and moments
Unfinished songs
Cause I’ve been living
Thirty-two days now
Without a chance to take a break from moving on
But I’m still breathing
Not sinking under
As I just try to put these pictures into songs
Now I’m sitting
No one to call
The streetlights bounce off of these highway walls
There are no reasons
Nothing to say
Everything’s changed but I remain the same
Cause I’ve been living
Thirty-two days now
Without a chance to take a break from moving on
But I’m still breathing
Not sinking under
As I just try to put these pictures into songs
The sunrise comes here
A vampire disguised
But I greet it proudly
With clouded eyes
A thousand pictures
Lay on the floor
Ink-covered napkins
And an opened door
Cause I’m not living
Anymore days now
Without a chance to take a break from moving on
And I can breathe here
And I can see now
Behind the pictures lies the truth to one more song
One more song
