Before The Fall
03:36
|
|||
|
Before you know what’s coming
Before the mountain crumbles to the ground
How’d I not notice?
Nothing to stand on as you fall further down
(chorus)
Dust to dust, brick by brick
Knowing what I know now it makes me sick
Now that I’ve heard your siren’s call
I hope I return to dust before the fall
Things seemed so simple
Before you slithered your way to my heart
I was so lonely
That I forgot you weren’t there from the start
(chorus)
Dust to dust, brick by brick
Knowing what I know now it makes me sick
Now that I’ve heard your siren’s call
I hope I return to dust before the fall

Lucy
05:12

It seems like this whole town is in love with you
So who am I to sing the blues, Lucy?
It seemed like you gave me more than most
But half of nothing is still just a ghost, Lucy
If I’m the wind you are a sound
If I’m the trees you are the ground
If I am flesh you are a knife
With a smile that still brings me back to life
(chorus)
It’s clear that we want different things
It’s fear that kept me holding back all these years
Lucy you are not who I need
But convincing myself will take far more than me
My heart fights hard to stay inside
Whenever your eyes meet with mine, Lucy
Is it joy, anticipation, dread
What’s going on up inside of your head, Lucy?
If I’m the sea you are the sky
If I am sober you are still high
Do you know what’s going on here I don’t
I wish I could quit but my heart just won’t
(chorus)
It’s clear that we want different things
It’s fear that kept me holding back all these years
Lucy you are not who I need
But convincing myself will take far more than me
Our friend told me that you felt bad
Deep down that kind of made me feel glad, Lucy
Our time together may have come and gone
But will live on inside of this song, Lucy
(chorus)
It’s clear that we want different things
It’s fear that kept me holding back all these years
Lucy you are not who I need
But convincing myself will take far more than me

Drag
03:31
|
|||
|
Baby let’s make nothing out of something
I’ll be the weight around your neck
Maybe I can be the one someday
That you’ll regret
At least I found a way that I can stay stuck in your brain
To see you fly without me would just feel like such a shame
(chorus)
I’ll be your drag
If someone could slow you down
If someone out there could find a way
To bring you back to the ground
I’ll be your drag
Let me seep inside your lungs
And if this won’t last as time goes past
At least we had some fun
I’ll be your drag
Baby let’s make mountains out of mole hills
And let’s scream our problems out
And if the neighbor calls the cops
Well then we’ll really start to shout
If you tell your friends you hate me then I know you think of me
And if I ever hear it I’ll remind you constantly
(chorus)
I’ll be your drag
If someone could slow you down
If someone out there could find a way
To bring you back to the ground
I’ll be your drag
Let me seep inside your lungs
And if this won’t last as time goes past
At least we had some fun
I’ll be your drag

Twin Sized Bed
03:39
|
|||
|
All I’ve got is this twin sized bed
We’ll make it work if you lay your head
Right here, rest against mine
It keeps us warm through these long nights
And you won’t fall if you hold me tight
I know it’ll all be fine
(chorus)
And maybe someday we’ll get one big enough for two
Or maybe I’ll rest somewhere else and so will you
But for right now don’t think too far ahead
Just lay here with me in our twin sized bed
The hours are long and I get home late
I know you won’t but I wish you’d wait
Leave a note, I hear your voice in my head
I hold my breath and open the door
To find your clothes thrown about the floor
And your shape asleep on that bed
(chorus)
And maybe someday we’ll get one big enough for two
Or maybe I’ll rest somewhere else and so will you
But for right now don’t think too far ahead
Just lay here with me in our twin sized bed
I try to give you what you want
I try to give you what you need
I know I don’t have to ask
You’re doing the same for me
(chorus)
And maybe someday we’ll get one big enough for two
Or maybe I’ll rest somewhere else and so will you
But for right now don’t think too far ahead
Just lay here with me in our twin sized bed

Cross Your Mind
03:17
|
|||
|
Do I ever cross your mind
You're on mine all the time
I've tried to tell you once or twice
But I can never get it right
(so why would I be?)
Do I ever cross your mind
While you're out there living life
With a fire inside your heart
And too many things to start
(so why would I be?)
Do I ever cross your mind
You're on mine all the time
I've tried to tell you once or twice
Maybe I'll try another night

Spring Thaw
04:11
|
|||
|
I’m still cold, is there more than this?
The promise of something better
Always resting on your lips
So still I try and still I wait
The seasons changing around me
I feel resigned to my fate
(chorus)
It’s been so long since I’ve been warm
It’s been so long since the leaves have gone
It’s been so long since I’ve had faith
But there’s always tomorrow for the sun to shine on our face
Is that a bud grown from that tree?
A promise for the future
Amidst all this tyranny
It won’t last long out here like this
Unless we work together
To guard it from our abyss
(chorus)
It’s been so long since I’ve been warm
It’s been so long since the leaves have gone
It’s been so long since I’ve had faith
But there’s always tomorrow for the sun to shine on our face
The winter ends eventually
The spring thaw warms our hearts and souls
And ends the misery
That we have made and taken ourselves
Nothing is impossible
If we’d only trust ourselves
(chorus)
It’s been so long since I’ve been warm
It’s been so long since the leaves have gone
It’s been so long since I’ve had faith
But there’s always tomorrow for the sun to shine on our face

Midnight Pinion
05:06
|
|||
|
On rainy nights I think of you and all our plans that fell through
Since you walked out that door
The things I’ve lost the things I miss; your hair, your smell, your eyes, your kiss
That all left me wanting more
(chorus)
A midnight pinion on the ground is all I have of you around
Fallen from the wings upon your back
We fell from grace, we’re not as pure
As those who never found a cure to end all their lonely nights
As it rains again upon your windowpane
Let’s try again it won’t end up the same
Will it end up the same?
I’m past the nights where I would dial, drunkenly wait awhile
Just so I could hear your voice
Life without you wasn’t new but it seemed so harder to get through
Now that I know the choice
(chorus)
A midnight pinion on the ground is all I have of you around
Fallen from the wings upon your back
We fell from grace, we’re not as pure
As those who never found the cure to end all of their lonely nights
As it rains again upon your windowpane
Let’s try again it won’t end up the same
Will it end up the same?
If you missed me too I never knew
The cage opened away you flew ne’er to return
When my memory starts to slip I think of tequila flavored lips
And how I never learn
(chorus)
A midnight pinion on the ground is all I have of you around
Fallen from the wings upon your back
We fell from grace, we’re not as pure
As those who never found the cure to end all of their lonely nights
As it rains again upon your windowpane
Let’s try again it won’t end up the same
Will it end up the same?

Chasing That Love
03:32
|
|||
|
I woke up felt the same way as I do most every day
I’m too familiar with these thoughts of giving up
Each morning I need coffee so I pour myself a cup
It’s simple but to me it’s just enough
Last night when I was dreaming of an old familiar place
Where everyone’s a friend and has an old familiar face
You don’t appreciate the time you have
Or the comfort of an old familiar laugh
But you’ve got to take the good times with the bad
But the good times are the ones that never last
So I keep
(chorus)
Chasing that, chasing that, chasing that love
I keep chasing that, chasing that, chasing that love
I’m not sure I deserve it
And I don’t know how to earn it
So I keep chasing that, chasing that love
I stare out of the window and I’m counting all the leaves
The fall is coming early for the trees
And everything is dying, still you’re calling out to me
You say love could be the cure for our disease
And now I’m always dreaming of a new and better place
Where I don’t need to worry and I never feel ashamed
Of all the things I think that I’ve done wrong
You tell me that it’s time for moving on
I’m living with these memories in my head
I’ve got to learn to love the time I have
That’s why I’m
(chorus)
Chasing that, chasing that, chasing that love
I keep chasing that, chasing that, chasing that love
I’m not sure I deserve it
And I don’t know how to earn it
So I keep chasing that, chasing that love
I’ve got to learn to love the time I have
(chorus 2)
I keep chasing that, chasing that, chasing that love
I keep on chasing that, chasing that, chasing that love
Everyone deserves it
And you shouldn’t have to earn it
So let’s keep chasing that, chasing that love
Let’s keep chasing that, chasing that love

This Time
02:55
|
|||
|
I’m sorry if you say so but I can’t remember why
And I’m getting tired of feeling so damn guilty all the time
Why is it all or nothing, how about some in between?
And even when you try your best it might not work out it seems
What I’ve got to offer might not be good enough this time
We dove into the deep hoping it all would work out fine
But in the end we ended up just fighting all the time
It weighs upon my mind and I don’t like feeling this way
And whether you’ll admit it I know that you feel the same
What I’ve got to offer might not be good enough this time
I have and yet I have not I am lost even when found
And I only need some time inside my head before I drown
It’s hard to live with, yes I know, but you knew it from the start
And only going in half way is what really broke my heart
What I’ve got to offer might not be good enough this time

One Last Dance
04:02
|
|||
|
This one’s not too fast, how I wish it would last
Long enough to cross over this room
You’re standing right there, flowers gracing your hair
And my eyes are transfixed just on you
(chorus)
May I have this dance? Can we take a chance?
We can wait for the next if you’d like
A waltz or fandango, it takes two to tango
But I’ll wait all night if it’s right
The kids were up late and the dishes can’t wait
If we want to eat later tonight
You’re losing your vigor, my hair’s getting thinner
I’d still offer my hand and I’d say
(chorus)
May I have this dance? Can we take a chance?
We can wait for the next if you’d like
A waltz or fandango, it takes two to tango
But I’ll wait all night if it’s right
On some cold September
I hope you remember these days even after I’m gone
And one last you’ll save as you dance on my grave
Lay flowers while singing this song
(chorus)
May I have this dance? Can we take a chance?
We can wait for the next if you’d like
A waltz or fandango, it takes two to tango
But I’ll wait all night if it’s right
Yes I’ll wait my whole life if it’s right
