Sing To Me
04:03
|
|||
The smoke here has been lingering
Since 2002
You’re sitting here across from me
And all I want is you
To tell you how I really feel
We don’t have to break this to know it’s real
We don’t have to break this again.
Will you talk to me? Will you talk to me? Oooh.
Will you talk to me? Will you talk to me?
You say you met somebody else
But you won’t give a name
I should have known better
Than to bet the odds that we could be the same.
And where do you find the words
That you really want to say?
And how do you find a receiver,
When the noise gets in the way?
Will you sing to me? Will you sing to me?
Will you sing to me? Will you sing to me?
Will you sing to me? Will you sing to me?
Will you sing to me? Will you sing to me?
I know it’s just a code
We use to get along.
We used to have such better ways
We didn’t need words at all.
My legs don’t when to march on
And when to take a pause
To breathe in deep, count to ten,
And mourn the things we’ve lost.
Will you walk away, away from me?
Will you walk away, away from me?
Will you walk away, away from me?
Will you walk away, away from me?

Wake Me
03:59
|
|||
I am the painter of my mind
In the morning I’m the one to choose
What color grey, what color blue
And on the good days a shiny golden hue
I am the runner who stays inside.
I am a good person, who lies sometimes.
I’m a person getting older
And I hardly recognize
Even the best things when their right in front of my own eyes.
Can you shake me, can you turn me over?
Can you wake me up, I’m alive.
I’m alive, and I don’t want to be alone tonight.
I’m alive, I’m alive
Turn the covers down I’m alive.
I used to look in windows, I get drawn into the light
The family around the table, that moment when everything is right.
I would watch her garden, hands buried in the dirt.
I need to get lost in something, even if it hurts.
Can you shake me, can you turn me over?
Can you wake me up, I’m alive.
I’m alive, and I don’t want to be alone tonight.
I’m alive, I’m alive
Turn the covers down I’m alive.
We could be the rise before the fall
We are more than shadows on the wall
If you pick me up where you know I’ll be
I’ve been sleeping in
Just a little too deep.
Can you shake me, can you turn me over?
Can you wake me up, I’m alive.
I’m alive, and I don’t want to be alone tonight.
I’m alive, I’m alive
Turn the covers down I’m alive.

Comfort World
03:12
|

Stoned and alone
Staring at my phone
I don’t even want you to call
I just wanna lay here
Feeling sorry for it all.
Stoned and alone
Nobody is home
I don’t even recognize
This life anymore
Waking up and sleeping in
With my clothes on the floor.
Stoned and alone
Stoned and alone
Stoned and alone
Stoned and alone
Stoned and alone
Pain in every bone
I shed you like a skin
So I
Could finally see myself
Naked with my heart open
Now I’m just scared as hell….
Can I get back to, to the comfort world?
Stoned and alone, in a comfort world.
Can I get back to, to the comfort world?
Stoned and alone, in a comfort world.
Can I get back to, to the comfort world?
Stoned and alone, in a comfort world.
Can I get back to, to the comfort world?
Stoned and alone, in a comfort world.

Coming Home
04:13
|
|||
I know it’s been a hard couple of months
Waking up and coming home to the dark.
Hoping we can find a hint of sun
Before our lonely work day is done
Every town and city that I’ve seen
We all share the same old broken dreams
This feeling it is not unique
But it still haunts me in my sleep
Bloodshot eyes just searching for meaning.
Tell me that you’re coming home
Tell me that you love me so
I am waiting for a sign to let me know..
Cause I’m shaking in my bones we’ll let this go
I’m shaking in my bones we’ll let this go
We work our 9-5 we do our part
It’s tiring working for the bills more than our own hearts
When everything is sinking fast
We gotta find a way to make it last
Please don’t let us
Let this slip away
Tell me that you’re coming home
Tell me that you love me so
I am waiting for a sign to let me know..
Cause I’m shaking in my bones we’ll let this go
I’m shaking in my bones we’ll let this go
You and me, we’re on to something
Lovingly worn in and softly frayed
We can build a fortress
Pillows one by one to keep away
The alarms and all the cars
And the coffee that keeps us bored
And buzzing through our empty day
Eventually we all give in
But I still hope I’ll hear you say…
Tell me that you’re coming home
Tell me that you love me so
I am waiting for a sign to let me know..
Cause I’m shaking in my bones we’ll let this go
I’m shaking in my bones we’ll let this go

Frozen Steps
04:13
|
|||
The night you walked me home, I was frozen stiff.
I asked you if you wanted to come in.
That was when it started
That was when I lost myself
That was when it started.
That was when I lost myself.
I thought I saw my future in 3 first names
I was just a kid in a college haze
I would change some things if I could go back
But life’s not living if you get it exact.
I’m not gonna cry about it now
I’m not gonna cry about it now
I’m not gonna cry about it now
I’m not gonna cry about it…
Sometimes you gotta walk a crooked line
Sometimes you gotta waste a lot of time
Regretting the love you gave away
So you know what cards to play
When you’re dealing tomorrow.
You know i get so scared
About what i’m supposed to be
Tossing and turning every night
And talking in my sleep
What am i supposed to do?
What am I gonna say?
What am i supposed to do when I’m the only one in my way?
I’m not gonna cry about it now
I’m not gonna cry about it now
I’m not gonna cry about it now
I’m not gonna cry about it…
Sometimes you gotta walk a crooked line
Sometimes you gotta waste a lot of time
Regretting the love you gave away
So you know what cards to play
When you’re dealing tomorrow.

Stereo
03:03
|
|||
This is never over the way you’re running through my mind
The way I breathe you in
I wear your clothes to pass the time.
Nobody could ever fill your shoes
I hate to say I know it’s true
But I will always wait up for
the sound of your worn in boots
Turn the lights down low
Turn up the stereo
And when you leave
I”ll press repeat
And memorize our heart beats.
So you called the moving truck
I’m way too stubborn to wish you luck
We were always the indoor type
Can’t you stick around for one more night?
In the morning you’ll drive with the windows down
Wind blowing you’ll turn up the sound
Of the stereo we know so well
The sounds, they’ll bring you back to me.
Turn the lights down low/Turn up the stereo
And when you leave / I’ll press repeat
And memorize our heart beats.
I know you’re gonna come back
I don’t think you’re gonna last
I know you’re gonna come back
I don’t think you’re gonna last
So
Turn the lights down low/Turn up the stereo
And when you leave / I’ll press repeat
And memorize our heart beats.
Turn the lights down low/Turn up the stereo
And when you leave / I’ll press repeat
And memorize our heart beats.

Cannonball
03:03
|
|||
You’re gonna wish, your name wasn’t a sound
That could fall from his lips,
And lift you right up off the ground.
You’re gonna wish, that you never fell at all
You’re gonna wish, your heart didn’t weigh
You down like a cannonball.
You’re going to believe
Every word he says is true
Till you’re left with nothing but
The shadows of what you knew.
You’re gonna hurt
Hearts were made to break.
If anybody tells you ‘love is all you need’
That’s your first mistake
You’re gonna wish, your name wasn’t a sound
That could fall from his lips,
And lift you right up off the ground.

Tough Crowd
02:55
|
|||
One of these days they’ll figure me out
Their on their way to catch me now
I’ve been hanging with the toughest crowd
Made up of only me, nobody else
I’m a fuck up and I’ve always been
I’m a fuck up and I’m getting good at it
Soak it up mistake, after mistake
Oh I’m a fuck up but I’m not gonna break
One of these days you’ll figure it out
You can run the show cause your
A big girl now
You can tear yourself apart
Living a lie
But you only get your sleep
Knowing that you tried
Cause we’re all fucked up and we’ve
Alwasy been
Gotta learn how to fuck up and
Not kill yourself for it.
Soak it up mistake, after mistake
Oh we’re all fucked up but I’m
Not gonna let you break.
Oh we’re all fucked up and we’ve always been
We’re all fucked up and we’re getting good at it
Soak it up mistake after mistake
Oh we’re all fucked up but we’re not gonna let you break

Lighter
04:04
|

I’m giving up on you
It turns out that’s exactly what
You wanted me to do.
I’m giving up on you
you oooh ooh ooh
I’m throwing in the fight
I’ve gotta keep my strength to hold myself up right
I’m throwing in the fight
Fight
Oooooh you’ve got me dancing on the ceiling
Oooooh and now I’m crying on the floor
Oooooh I thought that this was living
Oooooh my loves a war
I guess I should be happy
Since you finally let me go
I don’t feel quite so elated
But my body seems to know
I’m lighter
I’m lighter
I’m lighter
I’m lighter
I’m lighter
I’m lighter

Light & Sound
03:16
|
|||
It’s okay to let the sad songs
Sing you to sleep
If I didn’t have Molina
I wouldn’t make it through the week.
Sometimes the words can’t come out right
So we let that record play
And suddenly somebody
Understands you
In a crazy kind of way.
Tonight we sing along with every line
And thank whatever god there is
For giving us the time.
I don’t need to know
Where I’m going to be good
I just need to feel a little understood
I don’t need to know
Where I’m going to be good
I just need to feel a little understood
It’s like the only light we’ve got is
Fading every year
But if I step outside into the moonlight
I can feel the glow still here
I hear it in every melody,
every poster on my wall.
This is how we live forever,
this is how I’ll always call
Tonight we sing along with every line
And thank whatever god there is
For giving us the time.
I don’t need to know
Where I’m going to be good
I just need to feel a little understood
I don’t need to know
Where I’m going to be good
I just need to feel a little understood
I don’t need to know
Where I’m going to be good
I just need to feel a little understood

Born In the Dark
04:01
|
|||
I’ve been trying for so long
To read the writing on the wall
Everyone to blame but me
Now I see
It was my neglect that let the splinter
Bury in so deep, so deep
I cry when I watch the tv,
All my friends disowned me
Every commitment one foot in
Defeat is the drain I’m always circling
I’ve been known to slip up, slip up
I’ve been told to give up, give up
But I was born in the dark
And I can find my way from the deep end
Everything is falling, falling
Nobody is calling, calling
I’ve got to shout the words
I’ve got to shout the words so I can feel them.
I belong here, I belong here, I belong here, I belong
I belong here, I belong here, I belong here, I belong
I belong here, I belong here, I belong here, I belong
