Nasty Habit
03:21
|
|||
|
this darkness knew my name
calling out for me when it came
maybe it’s that time of year
I know I don’t deserve
to be so unsatisfied
like I don’t appreciate
having you by my side
I used to do it for a good time
now I can’t live without it
nobody seems to notice
I got this nasty habit
I got this weight
I wanna let it go
I know a place
where the the weirdos go
I show my face
I’ll be ok
I got this weight
I wanna let it go
I know a place
where the the weirdos go
I show my face
I’ll be ok
I used to do it for a good time
now I can’t live without it
nobody seems to notice
I got this nasty habit

Take Your Time

take your time
make up your mind
I don’t want anything
but the best for you
or anybody
I learned to let it go
a long long time ago
it seems to work out fine
when I don’t really try
I don’t want anything
but to do what I
am here to do

Souvenir
02:29

dad taught me how to work hard
hot summer in a lumber yard
I turned a wrench on my first car
picked out some chords on the guitar
I was afraid I’d be erased
if I didn’t leave this place
I think about it nearly everyday
it’s burned on my brain like a fireplace
a thick film on everything
the residue of memory
storefronts, hotels
everything reminds me of something else
baseball diamonds, waterfront parks
cemeteries after dark
quiet places with no name
where long shadows remain
homes we lived in covered in vine
all the things we left behind
boxes stuffed with souvenirs
what is gone is all still here
what is gone is all still here
what is gone is all still here

Burnout Together
04:56
|

|
I never tried too hard to understand
but I feel safe in this place
that I have landed
and you cannot change my mind
I can feel it in my bones
how could I be wrong
after all isn’t truth just something
you insist upon
repeat it to yourself
till you believe it
hold my hand
we’re gonna watch the sun burnout together
how can I be humble
if I’m gonna live forever
hold my hand
I love you so much I can’t explain it
it burns a hole right through me
I cannot contain
I lie awake in the middle of the night
something they said
in a loop over and over
in my head
I can feel it in my bones
maybe I am wrong
after all isn’t truth something
that you can’t really know
repeat it to yourself
till you believe it
hold my hand
we’re gonna watch the sun burnout together
how can I be humble
if I’m gonna live forever
hold my hand
I love you so much I can’t explain it
it burns a hole right through me
I cannot contain it

Sunny Afternoon
04:29
|
|||
|
I felt guilty
standing on your front porch
I hadn’t been home in a few years
I straightened my hair
before I rang the doorbell
and all of my anger escaped me
everything time has taken from us
on this sunny afternoon
I can see you in my mind
it’s been here for a long long time
parked in the backyard of my mind
I got this ancient artifact
how’d this darkness know my name
a gentle breeze
a hurricane
I got this ancient artifact
everything time has taken from us
on this sunny afternoon
I can hear you in my mind
everything time has taken from us
on this sunny afternoon
I can see you in my mind
I can see you in my mind
I can see you in my mind
on a sunny afternoon

Do Whatever I Want
02:57
|
|||
|
at first it was nothing
and then it all came out
I wasn’t so sure at first
and then there was no doubt
there was a time
when you could change my mind
but I can do whatever I want now
do whatever I want now
do whatever I want now
I can still remember
when I first arrived
young and angry
desperate to survive
the city climbed
like a vine onto the sky
turning into something
I could not recognize
there was a time
when I thought it could be mine
but I can do whatever I want now
do whatever I want now
do whatever I want now
soft rain rented loft
we had the magic
but the spell wore off
there was a time
when our love was blind
but I can do whatever I want now
do whatever I want now
do whatever I want now

Bulldozer Mouth
02:03
|
|||
|
what I said was right
but it came out wrong
now you’re gonna hear about it
in a song
could you shut up
for one minute
stop talking
sit back and listen
could you shut up
for once in your life
what I said was right
but you did not hear
now I’m gonna have to shout it
just to make it clear
why you so scared
about some dead air?
why you wanna fill it
like an éclair?
some people want to think
let them stand there
you got a bulldozer mouth
and you don’t care
could you shut up
for one minute
stop talking
sit back and listen
could you shut up
for once in your life

Dreams Come True
02:36
|
|||
|
all my dreams come true
all my dreams come true
but I only got a few
but I only got a few
all my dreams come true
all my dreams come true
but I only got a few
but I only got a few
I want to play guitar in my own backyard
I want to drive around in paid off car
I want to work for myself but not so hard
not so hard
all my dreams come true
all my dreams come true
but I only got a few
but I only got a few
I want to write songs when the sun goes down
I want to make friends in my brand new town
I want to get up when I’m feeling down
feeling down
all my dreams come true
all my dreams come true
but I only got a few
but I only got a few
all my dreams come true
all my dreams come true
but I only got a few

Looking Into Me
04:04
|
|||
|
I hold you in my hands
into your face I look
so many things I see
when I look into you
you’re looking into me
you seem to know some things
you must have overheard
in the afternoon
when I think out loud
you’re listening to me
show me what I like
until it burns my eyes
the things I see
it makes me want a different life
a different time
a different place
show me what I like
until it burns my eyes
the things I see
it makes me want a different life
a different time
a different place

I Want to Get Lost
03:05
|
|||
|
we’re all going
where we won’t come back
take your foot off the gas
I want to get lost
along the way
we’re going to make it there one day
early in the morning
when the light is blue
before the golden rays come through
if I get lost
along the way
we’re going to to meet again someday
