Any Other Way (Live)

Lately I’ve been wondering, what’s it all good for?
Scrape and scrap and hustle like this life’s an endless chore
I guess it’s possible to change, we weren’t meant to live this way,
And I wish I could do less instead of more
But I bit off more than I could chew
And ohh, you know that’s always what I do
I went out on ledge myself
and I slipped off before I could reach out for help
There’s just no escaping, I pile too much on my plate
I’m not waving, I’m drowning, and it’s probably too late
They make it sound so simple, just one tiny sentence, NO--
But it’s really not that easy and I really gotta go.
I bit off more than I could chew
Oh, you know that’s always what I do
I went out on ledge myself
and I’ll jump off before you could reach me for help
Lately as I’m falling through the clouds and on the breeze
I catch a glimpse of freedom while I’m crashing through the trees
And in that one last moment, right before I hit the ground
Truly nothing troubles me and I’d like to stick around
But I bit off more than I could chew
And oh, you know that that’s still what I do
I, if I could take it back and stay
You know I wouldn’t want it any other way
You know I wouldn’t have it any other way
I bit off more than I could chew
And oh, you know that that’s still what I do
I, if I could take it back and stay
You know I wouldn’t want it any other way
You know you wouldn’t want me any other way

I’ve been avoiding love songs
Because I might give it away
I’ve been avoiding love songs
Afraid you’d have something to say
I’ve been holding back from what is true
Been holding back from holding you
I’ve been avoiding love songs
‘Cause it’s not my place
Don’t ask me any questions babe
There’s nothing good that I can say
Do me a favor, look away
I’ve still got my face to save
I’ve been hiding out from what is real
Please don’t ask me how I feel
I’ve been avoiding love songs
‘Cause it’s written on my face
Look away, look away
Look away, look away
I’m avoiding love songs
I don’t want to give it away
I’ve been avoiding love songs
Don’t wanna hear what you’ll say
I’ve been holding back from what is true
Keep holding back from holding you
I’ve been avoiding love songs
‘Cause I’m in love with you
I’m avoiding love songs
‘Cause I’m in love with you

Wake Me Up (Live)

There’s a feeling I can’t describe
What it is to be alive
And no matter how I try
It escapes me
Heart set afire
Glowing crackling wild
Stops me in my tracks
Yeah it wakes me
Oooh lift me up
I’m done being down
Ooh wake me up
It’s good to be found
I took a moment just for me
And hell, it felt like eternity
The grass had never looked so good
On both sides of the street
All the facts were still the same
But just a whole lot less like shame
And I fell in love with the rough spots on my face and feet
Ooh rise and shine
We only get today to be alive
Yeah this life is mine
But I share it with you
So sit down for a while
What’s the point of running from things we’ve already left behind?
Ooh don’t hide
I promise I’ll look forward if I can feel you there by my side
I love this feeling I can’t describe
What it means to be alive
And no matter how I try
It escapes me
My heart’s been set on fire, oh yeah
Glowing crackling wild and still
It stops me in my tracks
sometimes it shakes me
And I say, ooh lift me up
I’m done being down
Ooh wake me up
It’s good to be found
Ooh rise and shine
We only get today to be alive
Yeah, this life is mine
And I live it with you
Ooh ooh ooh…

Around Again (Live)

I never made the trends
I couldn’t follow them
I wasn’t cool back then
I try to right the wrong
Try to prove that I belong
That didn’t last too long
Yeah, here it comes around again
Yeah, here it comes around again
I’m OK with second best
Well, maybe you wouldn’t guess
But none of this is a test anyway
Just show up and play the fool
Don’t care if they it’s cool
Not worried about their rules, no way
Yeah, here it comes around again
Yeah, here it comes around again
If there’s not a place for you make one
Didn’t save a seat for you take one
If there’s not a place for you make one
I never made the trends
I couldn’t follow them
I wasn’t cool back then
Yeah, here it comes around again
Yeah, here it comes around again
What goes around comes around
What goes around comes around

Everybody Else (Live)

You have all the time in the world for everybody else
And it kills you to save some of it for yourself
The love in your heart for those who aren’t around
What if you gave it to those who hold their ground?
There comes a time when even you have to decide
Are you ready to stop living someone else’s life?
There’s a difference between giving up and settling down
And maybe it’s not your job to know right now
Would you take it if it weren’t the easy way out?
Would you know it if the words were laced in doubt?
Ooh oh
You have all the time in the world for everybody else
Would it kill you to save some of it for yourself?
The love in your heart for those who’re never around
Well, you could save it for those who hold their ground.
This isn’t the easy way out
This isn’t the easy way out

An energetic indie rock collective led by bassist/songwriter/activist Erin Walter, Parker Woodland mixes punk, pop, and heart-on-sleeve indie folk without a care for categories.

Parker Woodland asks 1 question: What if you lived life like you truly mean it? ... more
