Stars 05:26
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 03:56
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 04:09
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 03:02
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 june blush

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
8.
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
9.
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
