Ah yes, your golden smile, pearl white teeth and eyes of a cinephile
Will you please drop your plans and waste your life with me?
It's a lonely town, and that won't change but with you here I feel okay in your arms
Wish you'd stay forever... Won't you stay forever?
We should stay here
We should stay through the night
Flashlight blazing in your eyes, so you don't know
Wrong from right
Flashlight fading and I'll surely die if you let go
Through the night, we'll go racing
Forever

Love can make it so... with its dizzy sighs and butterflies, you know?
Love takes its toll - enslave your heart to free your soul
You're the lucky one, you know?
With your hands clenched tight in your coat
You're the lucky one, you know?
With your hands clenched tight
Time... time moves way too slow
I can hardly take it
If God loved me then he would let me know
There ain't no God - there ain't no hope
Choose to believe what you wanna believe it's fine
At the end of the day, it's just a waste of a day's worth time

On Vacation
01:40
|

|
There's nothing more to talk about
We have said it, we have screamed it out
Now's about the time
About the time we leave this place
Go away for awhile
Leave this place, get away for awhile
We'll make a great escape

I'll take what my hands take and break with my heartbreaks and throw it together and then watch it dissolve
Don't get me wrong, I'll probably put it on the back burner
Not moving on until I get just what I'm after
And I'm a right, a right, a right disaster
Yeah, you're right, you're right, what a waste of an afternoon
What a waste of an afternoon
Oh, what I'd give to be young again
I'd strap those stars to my eyes, get some time to spend
Oh, what I'd give to be yours then
What a waste

Safe beside you, I can hide 'til tomorrow is gone
it won't be long before you see
what you mean to me
I took the same road you took
I look the same way you look
A fool could see it was meant to be this way
But you're a world away
You're a world away
What a grand design...
What paradise
I'll send a signal to the sky, an S.O.S
It'll pierce your heart through your sunburnt chest
You'll catch your breath, but dear you won't know why
You find me sleeping in your mind tonight
This was your reply, "I tried my best"
You left me here and that's all I get?
Why do you make it so hard to love you?
Why do you make it so hard to love you?
What grand design?
What paradise?
Well, I'm lost without you, but I can hide 'til tomorrow is gone
It won't be long 'til you come home

Lights Out
03:18
|

|
I say, "razor blade" and you'll swallow it just the same
It'll leave a trail of bloody red it's coating every word you've ever said
Like "darling won't you be my queen, won't you run away with me?"
But now you're crying out your eyes, crying out your eyes because now you see
You've finally reached the end of the road, you reached the end of the road
And you'll never touch the sky
But you touched the heart of a lonely star tonight
It doesn't seem so bad; no, it doesn't seem so bad now with the lights out
With the lights out
But here's the light and here's the shame, I loved you once can you say the same?
Will you stay here in my arms and curse our beating hearts now?
When the light’s out
When the light’s out

Trite little lovers gone off the deep end
Sighing to each to each other just waiting on the weekend now
To figure it out
Trying to discover some kind of meaning
Keeping up routines, keep their noses clean
Try and discover some kind of weakness
Some kind of sign they're alive
At all
Just passing the time, having a ball
But there is no light, left in their bloodshot eyes
They just stare and they sigh
Through it all
It's hard when you discover the truth behind a lover's lies
When you've been together for such a long, long time
Got no time for nothing that won't get me high
Give me something more than a body to stand by
Give me a sign, a call
Drop me a lifeline, any time at all
Yeah, give me a sign, show me a way back now
Bring me to life, figure me out
Just give me a sign, some kind of sign
Don't leave me out in the riptide

Come back to me, bring back the good times
Sweet entropy can’t you just turn a blind eye
There comes a time to talk about this
There was a line and we just walked around it
Circling back again, we’re circling back
Ate all the breadcrumbs, cleared out the bag
But still we’re circling back again, we’re tight on this path
Stuck in the doldrums chasing the feedback
Chasing the feedback, stuck in the doldrums
We’re tight on this path, we’re circling back again
We cleared out the bag, ate all the breadcrumbs
Circling back, we’re circling back again
There was a line and we just walked around it
There comes a time to talk about this
There was a line and we just walked around it
There comes a time to talk
But can’t you just turn a blind eye, sweet entropy?
Bring back the good times, come back to me
Oh, can’t you just turn a blind eye, sweet entropy?
Bring back the good times, come back to me

The Big Sleep
04:05
|

|
You fear the big sleep coming so you howl at the moon
But you had years and years and years to lose yourself to someone else
But you choose this hell, you choose it every time
And I, I choose you too, you know I do
What dreams are keeping you awake?
Keeping you feeling lonely?
Thought you said you can’t change, you can only try
So please try now
Awake from a slumber breathe in the sunlight
We stick together and think we’ll be alright
Man, it’s such a bummer we agreed on a slow ride
Now I keep on driving, and you sleep with other guys

So I guess I got a broken heart and that’s why I feel so badly
Yeah, I’m playing parts and you got me acting the fool for you
A fool for you
I want you; I want you so bad
So bad
So bad
So…?
Well even if we have a rocky start and you’re buried in rubble
The big one hits hard and gets you in trouble
I’d be the first one down, I’d be the one who found you
These kinds of daydreams haunt all my thinking
Impossible schemes come when I’m drinking
Alone in a bar downtown two blocks away from your house
Stirring some ice around listening for your sound near…
I want you; I want you so bad
So bad
So bad
So…?

Tired Of Dressing Up
03:53

I’m tired of dressing up and following plans
I’m sick of washing my hands and doing this dance
So, I think I’ll pack it up when I get a chance
I’m sick of tracing these timelines when I know how they end
And I know that they end too soon
Ends too soon
Soon you’ll see it
I’ve half a mind to say you’ve got a mouth on you all of the time
Yeah, your words they bite
Never could find just where you’re going to
So, I’ll be your guide and get lost there with you
I think I’ll pack it up
See you tonight

You really don’t remember me, do you?
Murphy… it’s you
Some grand delusion is fogging up your mind
You don’t know much but you know better
To leap before you look before you blow sky high
Mistakes like these they will last forever
So now you know the gravity of your situation
It became abundantly clear when you opened up your eyes
Give yourself to this careless surrender
We’ll waste this life, and we’ll do it together
Uh oh…
Never coming back
Never coming back
Never coming back
Never coming back
They’ll go gather by the window
Say a prayer to bring us home
They got everyone we know to call out
Hey now
Hey now
Hey now
Hey now
“Cursed”, you say, you’re cursed to be alone, to be alone you said
“Cursed”, you say, “what’s worse than this?
We bury our hearts and our promises
In a filthy bag of bones and you’re just a stupid kid
Always reaching for the phone to tell em what you did
And you’ll only going to tell them what they want to hear
Another sad tale about your broken heart”

Oh, I’ve heard you talk about it
Oh, I know you’ve seen it in some films
So, it’s hard to live without it now
That kind of clarity it comes and it goes
And you let it fly right out your window
Oh god and now it’s knocking at your front door
But you’re hiding on the back porch feeling down
Saying, “I thought there would be something more
Than sad sappy songs on the radio to let me know that I’m in love”
You’ve never been where you wanted to be
Always rolling your eyes like I’m boring you half to sleep
You’ve never been where you wanted to be
No, you’ve never been where you wanted to be
You’ve never been where you wanted to be with me

So, close your eyes
Hold your breath
Take my hand
Let’s forget

Beach Day

I know you see it on the sun-drenched coast
a flash of light, a sign of life - a note
in a bottle, oh - thought I got all of those
I can't believe it but you're really gonna go
be it by age by car by note
just let me know - how I'll go on without you here
I want you here
And don't it go to show
You don't know what you got until it goes
And don't it go to show you
You don't know what you got until it
owns you molds you fogs your starry eyes…
I… I - oh my god I love you blind
"I... I - oh my God I love you so… now I feel it go. I'm walking down to the ocean floor. So... say the word and I'll go on
Let me go, let me know…"
"Simmer down, it feels so right - keep you warm in the middle of the night, yeah.

Sinking Like The Feeling
03:17
|

You’ve got the strangest solutions to solve all your problems
Said, “subtract the sources to lessen the pain”
But then you call them all at once, you call them onto you
Just to show you can shoulder the weight
Well, if that’s what you want then that’s what you’ll get
That’s always how it goes but you tend to forget it sometimes
So, you said you’re on a sinking ship well I’d say you had the right of it
Because you’re taking water now, you’re surely going to drown when this hits
Oh, when this hits you
Oh, when this hits you’ll feel it then, you’ll feel it all
You’ll bite your tongue; you’ll chew it off
So, it’s not enough to say “you’re right…” all the time anymore
Groaning while you’re puking out your guts on the tile of the bathroom floor
It’s not enough to say you tried all the time anymore
The words are words that we have heard before

At the end of the line, you’ll see the frayed dark edges of time
I believe it will blow your mind
It’s the absence of being the sweetest release you’ll find it all and it all will work out fine
So, forget what you know, just let it unfold and enjoy the ride
Forget what you’ve seen just stay here with me it will be alright
It’ll be alright
Yeah, I think it’ll be alright, alright now
Yeah, I think it will be just fine, just fine now
Yeah, I think it will be
With your feet on the ground and your head in the clouds
One hand on your heart like you figured it out
We’re only temporary, love
You’ve got it all now
Yeah, you’ve got it all

I’ve seen you sulking around
Round the dark parts of town
You had your head held low and those glasses that hide that you’re still alive
You’ve got that look in your eye
You’ve got a taste for blood tonight
And I know you know just where to find me
So, I try to play it cool as you walk by
They don’t teach you this in school
The lust, the bite…
I’m feeling queasy you’ll never believe me
I’m shrugging my shoulders, oh my god I love her
She came in the night, and she left with the dawn
Left me alive got me singing this song

Some Advice
02:15
|

Where you went wrong
Was writing the whole thing down
Words will do harm
Left to linger around
So, your smile?
I don’t talk about it
On your knees?
I don’t talk about it
All your secrets are safe with me
I’ll say this politely you don’t really love her
You try to speak nicely but soon you’ll discover
You’ll pillage the old lies over and over
The future’s a landslide and it’s bowling you down

It’s the same here all the time
Get lost in each other’s lives
Tracing on a line with you
And through it all you fear the changes
Through it all you feel the same way
Save yourself the time
It’s going to be a lonely ride
Blame it on the wine
I love you more with every fight
I’ll lay it on the line for you
I’d forget it just put it in the back of your mind
Forget it, it’s best with your back turned
I’d forget it just put it in the back of your mind
Forget it, it’s best with your back turned
I’d forget it have a change of heart
I’d forget but it’s just too hard
Trace the line

Good Grief

Absence it grows like the cold sound of a dial tone
Faces fade, distort with time
But who really knows who anyone is anyway anymore?
Anyhow, your words not mine
So, hang it up – wash the wine from the coffee cup
Or fill it to the brim again
In a thousand years it’ll be as if we were never here
And that kind of guarantee should help to ease your mind
So, rest your head and drown in it
All and all it’s all the same
Gone for good or here to stay
All and all it’s all the same
Gone for good or here with me
When the moon is full, I feel it most
The creeping fear, unknown unknown
My whole damn life is a pale white lie
And my hungry heart eats the time
It eats the time
Oh, if only I could get back now to the way it was before
If I could get back now to the way it was

Worrisome Eyes
07:39
|

|
Oh and now it’s all come true
Those worrisome eyes have set upon you
And the years and years will float on through
And you’ll waste your time like you always do
So, its all gone south for winter
So, we’re both going down together
Slow ride home, bright light, your hand on the outside
Slow ride home, dead eyed, your hand on the outside low
Hand on the outside low
Hand on the outside low
Your hand
It’s hard, it’s hard, it’s hard to understand the things you do you see?
So long as tonight you’re breathing you better
Make up your mind, just keep it together, man
Because I’ve seen the signs, a change in the weather
All things in time, always, forever
So long as tonight you’re breathing you better
Make up your mind, just keep it together, man
Because I’ve seen the signs, a change in the weather
All things in time you’re so fucking clever, man
