there's a hope
found it on the side of the road
guess it's mine now
i don't know if it works like that but play along
suppose i was back in michigan
feasting humble on a fantasy
humble moments i never left that place
take flight
soon be crashing into your white fence
mailbox wasteland
your neck my nose we're a canvas on the floor
elysium bring you back to michigan
lake breath suits you better
longing parlance i never left that place
there's a devil and a white knight sharing both my shoulders
come to rectify the table talk
accidental mug shot, long shadow stampede
no encounter on the blue bridge enigmatic omega
you see stars pray tell me where your ears are
stand still
planted by the shouts of the riots
wind that whistles hold out
chapped hands it works like that your autumn candle wax
runs against the grain in the parlor
knowing better
salty turn back i never left that place
there's a devil and a white knight sharing both my shoulders
come to rectify the table talk
accidental mug shot, long shadow stampede
no encounter on the blue bridge enigmatic omega
you see stars pray tell me where your ears are
i'm that smoky thing that rolls off
from that kettle in the corner
i'm the feeling when the floor drops
drives your heart into your forehead
i've been swimming laps all through your lungs
there and back again your eardrums
begging grab a shell out from the sea
press it to your ear and hear me

Deep City

i brought a movie but you couldn't find a cable
so i sat down
and you never moved
so what's the difference in being bought and paid for
by your own mistakes
you've got something to prove
but they're no excuse
they don't own you
so what have you got to lose
in being young
and staying honest
walk the sun a little longer
oh here it comes for you
if this is my year then why can't i escape it
oh what's the use
is it camouflage if you know
in my apartment on a sunny sunday
we were waging war
oh if you only knew how all my questions
sound just like you
so what have you got to lose
in being young
and staying honest
walk the sun a little longer
oh here it comes for you
and if i had a moment every time that
time that you told me love lived
deep in the city
promise i'd grow a year in a day
can you tell your family that the smog over LA
is breaking down all over you
it's not the kind of rain that you would've prayed for
but it'll do for now
all we need's an excuse and we hit the rooftops
mortar mountain views

Cincinnati

what's in cincinnati other than heartbreak
give me one good reason not to cut to the chase
do you think of me cause she still loves me
i bet
ration your time spending mine
bend that fine line
such a long road home
won't you hold me close
guess i'm only a ghost
tiptoeing my way down the road
keep shape but i can't take hold
so war drum coming from the concrete
where the hell are we driving
are we there yet?
pictures of your new man
guess i had it coming
tell me how much i matter just to rain check again
it's not the same what you say and how you're living
you bet i know words are foot holes
find me falling
such a long road home
won't you hold me close
guess i'm only a ghost
tiptoeing my way down the road
keep shape but i can't take hold
so war drum coming from the concrete
where the hell are we driving
are we there yet?
rationalize all of the lonely songs you send me

Keep It
03:42
|
|||
we were walking on uncooked pavement
wading our way through the streets
i follow our footprints all around town
i still hear you telling me to slow down
spent my summer on the highway
dragging just behind
all of the words that i let loose
two tickets oh boy
i thought i was seethrough
now i've gotta keep it light
cause my hearts on a bed of spikes
and if i love you and i think i might
then i've gotta keep it light
brand new hair but it falls the same
what's there to do but change
i'm such a wreck every time they ask i say know
but you know i'm your's
now i've gotta keep it light
cause my hearts on a bed of spikes
and if i love you and i think i might
then i've gotta keep it light
i see you're driving the same
blue minivan with a queen in the back
you're sleeping where you want to
'round town
now i've gotta keep it light
cause my hearts on a bed of spikes
and if i love you and i think i might
then i've gotta keep it light
oh can you help me get
to where i said i've been
cause i'm trying to take my time this time
oh i hope that you don't mind

Blush

i crushed one of your friends so what
been two years and you spend
all of your time hating someone
counting down those
million reasons for you to go
tell me why you're here
dinner's cold and
you're still smiling
i'm the worst but that's in season
june blush
yeah i know you hate me
but you'll never say so
at least this hell won't be lonely
i crushed one of your friends
so what been two years and
you spend all of your time hating someone
june blush
rolling your eyes
blinking candlelight
tv reruns
tongue beneath my tooth
reposition
watch as you lean in
rosy cheeks make summer fools
june blush
yeah i know you hate me
but you'll never say so
at least this hell won't be lonely
i crushed one of your friends
so what been two years and
you spend all of your time hating someone

Restless
04:24
|
|||
the number nineteen's on that roof
someday when those pipes start leaking
they'll discover that old nest and guess how
our breath smelled like cheap wine
might that paint can dry straight through
by then love might mean much less to me and you so
take some time, name all the worlds we'll break
while we're just young and restless
so romantic so insane
we're just young and restless
bet they never felt this way
our dreams might age to currency
we'll trade them in for things we see
love turns habit x.o. tic tac toe
so make your mark and wait your turn
you know nothing haven't you heard
all these damn kids broke this universe
while we're just young and restless
so romantic so insane
we're just young and restless
bet they never felt this way
and long run when you hear my name
i might fear the things you'll say but
right now all we talk about's today
cause we're just young and restless
so romantic so insane
we're just young and restless
bet they never felt this way

Sugarcoat
04:48

oh the air says we're too fast
are we gonna believe it
streamline all my thoughts
ground beneath my feet
the two-ton words i meant
the moment that they left me
he said, she said what's left
i said you and me
blue sky kind of midnight
auburn curtains my eyes
wide awake and begging for some wildfire
off your glowing skin then
take my riesling jacket off and run the needle
cross my chest it kicks
and there's no sugarcoating this
i'm obsessed with everything
there's no sugarcoating it with you
deadbeat car
the two tongued mess we are
now don't wait
they could tear us both up, bottom of the lake
so what's with all this sleeping
places to be turns out
we're no scene at all
there's four walls here not three
concrete webbing to your door
and there's no sugarcoating this
i'm obsessed with everything
there's no sugarcoating it with you
oh i'll always see you just like this

Bright
03:19
|

sun battling the low blinds
sheets never make up their mind
am i warm or freezing
is there more to the meaning when you say
i'm tangled up
here we can see so far
sell off your atlas jump in my car
time's five miles high
they will never notice how you and i leave them behind
cotton rivers i find you
glass quivering makes a tune
wash in pouring light
i can't help but notice how with you each morning
seems ever bright
don't turn the page yet
don't close your eyes
cause i'm not quite done with this one

Wings
03:53
|

my best friend time
should have arrived
i haven't seen them but i don't mind
are you from 'round here
could you stay all year
make that a double then smash the clock
feasting our eyes
on some skyline
time found their own ride, they get on by
trust me when i speak, words at an arms reach
pace it as you will i'm walking slow
you need to know
pin me down, i'll still breathe
spin me round i'll still see
drive me out to the beach
whip up a wind, set me on your wings
craning your neck
chin to my chest
dust off the table, right where we left
jump 'cross the water, i know it's my turn
but damn i still miss you and that's just that
meet me halfway back
pin me down, i'll still breathe
spin me round i'll still see
drive me out to the beach
whip up a wind, set me on your wings
four a.m. cries, two's closing time
mornings are murder, that dying night can't change my mind
pin me down, i'll still breathe
spin me round i'll still see
drive me out to the beach
whip up a wind, wait and see
pin me down, i'll still breathe
spin me round why don't we
wedge the sun in those trees
make it all stand still, lie down in leaves

Rebel
04:23
|

oh what the hell if i'm not in LA this time next year i'll break your heart
just to find out what's inside i'll pack it up and spend it all on a good time
i said listen all you takers i'm the one with all the rules
and listen all you killers you're fools
see i'm the one who's talking now so step right up and watch me strike you out
and the crowd go wild
but the thunder's only summer in a hospice
she's coughing to death
why hide the truth when you see through i'm packing up myself i'm overdue
last april smelled like car exhaust that r.x. heartbreak up and ran off too soon
so listen all you lovers what's it ever done for you
and listen all you killers i'm talking to myself too
see you say silence i say murder
you say last year i say blood bath
i can't take nothing back
i don't want you now but i could at any moment
choose your words carefully
is it nature to be so callous
just last winter aurora borealis
born a rebel
raised too well

Pillbox
04:06
|

dog tired concrete days are begging
where do we go
curbside lighting your smile everything
talking me in circles words out windows
it's peeling layers back it's trusting heart attacks
don't play favorites
it's rationing our words
pillbox loving, best days still coming
then autumn throws me headfirst under
spilling what i think so i go crazy, beg you do the same damn thing
now if you don't know where you are then float a while with me
is it enough?
stormy morning, leave the raincoat
you look best your hair down and we're soaked
stare back at me, your smile everything
winding me about yourself, we dig in
it's peeling layers back it's trusting heart attacks
don't play favorites
it's rationing our words
pillbox loving, best days still coming
then autumn throws me headfirst under
spilling what i think so i go crazy, beg you do the same damn thing
now if you don't know where you are then float a while with me
is it enough?
all this jetsam, over learned lessons
trail me right back to you

Spin
05:12
|
|||
in the car i said i love you i made plans to leave you
and i wonder if i'll go through in the end
see you've just felt like shit lately and i don't have it in me
to put you through anything at all
so i dig in my calloused heels and ask them show me how to feel
as they wear down and they build up
as they wear down and build back up
oh everything happens in the end
let it spin
in the same room that i held you
i wonder if i'll follow through and i ask the plastic windows if i'm right
see fool me once must be bad rules but fool me twice my tongue my tooth
still so long as i know my way back home
i'll go out again and again
oh everything happens in the end
let it spin
let it spin
round again
sign right here on the edge
spin spin spin
round robin
ride it out again
just orbit and dive back in
so i dig in my calloused heels
i'm getting closer i can feel it
oh everything happens in the end
let it spin
