Jacob 04:49 video
JACOB (Kern/Ratts) Jacob saved his tickets up he didn't take it light he knew that someday he would get to ride he lost friends to tilt-a-whirls on cotton candy nights but carousels just left him cold inside all the tunnels of love he had entered turned to bumper cars until they felt cold as haunted houses Jacob just wants to try the roller coaster ride tonight just once he wants the power on his side Jacob wants to climb and dive feel wind upon his face and glide adrenaline to know that he's alive Jacob bought a ticket from the best girl he could find he thought her track would make a sturdy ride her lines were long but there was something magic in her glide and this time Jacob wouldn't pass her by his friends up on the ferris wheel had warned him "she looks dangerous, too fast, with twists and turns, something's not right.." but Jacob just wants to try the roller coaster ride tonight just once he wants the power on his side Jacob wants to climb and dive feel wind upon his face and glide adrenaline to know that he's alive adrenaline to know that he's alive she took him to amazing heights then dropped him to the deepest lows and threw him for a loop like errol klein she slammed his frame from left to right and pummeled him from side to side then spit him out to let another ride she spit him out to let another ride Jacob feels his bruises on the boardwalk where he stands as happy trolley passengers go by he knows that out there somewhere there's another ticket stand another track that stretches to the sky his friends are tossing rings and balls and none of them get bruised at all they're happy with the sun not in their eyes still Jacob just wants to try the roller coaster one more time he wants to feel the power on his side Jacob wants to climb and dive feel wind upon his face and glide adrenaline to know that he's alive adrenaline to know that he's alive c) 2018 Wandering Songs / BMI

THE GIRL HOLDING OUT FOR ME (Ratts/Kern) she's always been a dreamer she writes poetry and prose it can be frustrating when every word must be just so she knows all about the brownings from the letters that they penned she wants the same in her life to "count the ways" that never end someday her prince will come she'll find her only one desire will turn to love someday and she's haunted she can taste how sweet it'd be to be wanted by the only one she needs and the longing feeds her heartache as she waits impatiently yeah, i'm holding out for the girl holding out for me she scribbles in her notebook covered with hearts and sketched vignettes she's making plans for someday with a boy she hasn't met someday her prince will come she'll find her only one desire will turn to love someday her restless spirit will find it's mate and she's haunted she can taste how sweet it'd be to be wanted by the only one she needs and the longing feeds her heartache as she waits impatiently yeah, i'm holding out for the girl holding out for me if i could reassure her let her know i'm waiting too i love thee with a love with a love i seem to lose and she's haunted she can taste how sweet it'd be to be wanted by the only one she needs and the longing feeds her heartache as she waits impatiently yeah, i'm holding out i'm holding out i'm holding out for the girl holding out for me

I COULD BE THE ONE (Kern / Ratts) I could be the one if you want me to I could plan a late night rendezvous And be your man through the lonely night right beside you till its bright outside I'd hold your hand like your dearest friend and stay beside you till the world ends I’d be the one if you’d say the word would be the sweetest word I ever heard I could write a song about you each night I could bathe you in the candlelight I’d take you out to the finest bars I could give you all my credit cards I’d wait at home when you’re out with friends, When you’re worn out I’d order in I’d be the one if you want me to You just say the word I’m there for you I could be the one that makes you happy I could be the one that makes you sure I could be the one to help forget about the other ones before I could be the one where you don’t wonder the one that didn’t get away I could be the one ok? I could probably find another one to be The one for me But there will never be another you I could be the one in the summertime On a moonlit hill I would pour your wine I’d be the one when the leaves come down To take you walking through the lights of town I’d be the one in the coldest snow Wrap my arms around you like an eskimo I’d be the one when the flowers bloom Filling vases in your living room I could be the one that makes you happy I could be the one that makes you sure I could be the one to help forget about the other ones before I could be the one where you don’t wonder the one that didn’t get away I could be the one what do you say? c) 2018 Wandering Songs / BMI

FREE YOUR SOUL (Ratts/Kern) You were down You were high You were tilting at a windmill in your mind you were bold and unafraid you were climbing upward straight into harm's way sometimes it feels like you're living in a hurricane and that is why we all like sunny weather moments when things come together a time when everything is just alright and the world keeps on spinning faster hold on tight, enjoy the laughter, open all the windows in your mind, and free your soul i saw you laugh i saw you smile i saw how everything was perfect for a while you were sweet you were mine the speed of love was fast enough to pass us by sometimes we find ourselves out walking in the wind and rain and that is why we all like sunny weather moments when things come together a time when everything is just alright and the world keeps on spinning faster hold on to the things that matter open all the windows in your mind sometimes it's best to just let go so free your soul free your soul so hitch a ride bet it all go for broke and never ever go home small all for one and all for you i wanna see if thats the best that you can do and that is why we all like sunny weather moments when things come together a time when everything is just alright and this world keeps on spinning faster as we hurry running after dreams we know we'll someday leave behind and that is why we all like sunny weather moments when things come together a time when everything is just alright and the world keeps on spinning faster hold on tight, enjoy the laughter, open all the windows in your mind, and free your soul.
