Sink Or Swim

I wish I could pull you apart / So I could see what you are / How you set them all on fire / Instead, I’m still spending time / Clocking in and clocking out / Stranded within walls / With a broken compass to find a way home / All you want and more / That is how you stay afloat / All you want and more / That’s your way to even the score

All The Great Ideas
03:33

All those great ideas / They come and go like the wind / They twist and fade away throughout the years / But I’m still here / Waiting for the day we’ll be able to build something out of all those tiny bones / I buried them for you to find / I burned the map / I changed my mind / I felt so out of time / All I ever wanted was for someone to tell me it’s worth a try
A waste of time / A stupid game / The biggest lie / Don’t let it die
I worked my way down low / Hit rock bottom, dug below / Careful to leave every stone unturned / I am no one / Sticks and stones may break my bones / But what’ll kill me is the open road / The great unknown / I wish I could play that song / I wish I knew all the words and chords / It speaks in tongues / All I ever wanted was for someone to tell me it’s worth a try
Please don’t let me be another shadow on the wall / I’ve been him, I don’t like it / I’d rather not be here at all / By the time I turn and look for you / You’ve already gone

Convalescence Blues

I know it ain’t easy / I might have learned a thing or two / I know I made you deal with the same old shit / The same old blues / I still look back in anger/ Questioning every move / But I stopped acting like some kind of poster boy / For integrity and hope / And I’m done lying to you
It’s history repeating / In spite of my smart moves / Or just a rough patch / Nothing we can’t get through / Though I fear the ghost of judgement / I’m done rooting for revenge / I could never give you an answer / How could I ever be your man? / I’m done lying to you
Feels like running on empty / Aiming for the moon / It’s not easy getting over you

A Home

I’m done waiting in line for the party / I’d much rather sit here with the trains / What are the chances of you passing by? / Look up, catch a glimpse of my life / I swear I didn’t make it up, I’m alright / I’m done waiting in line for the party / Everyone’s a king of their own / But nothing’s unbiased / I don’t think I ever felt this out of place / Now I know, not even the dullest of days can break me
I wish I could face all my demons alone / But I guess I ain’t that cool yet / Let’s get back inside / It’s late and I’m cold / And I really don’t like it here
Pretend not to see you look at another / Well, I’m a sucker for attention too / Where does it end? / I’m on your side, I never want to see you cry / So I’ll blame it on all those guys and their looks
Nobody cancelled, it’s just a no-show / Don’t bother calling / The data’s been tampered with / But I know the truth is still out there / Your body’s the answer, how could I know? / But I know I’m not afraid of being alone, or with you for that matter
Don’t wait it out / Write it down, say it loud / I know, I know it hurts / But there’s no other course of action
So what if I’m sober, it’s just for tonight / So what if I’m light

Perpetual Cheerleader

Take all you want / It was always yours to begin with / I’ve known right from the start / Move on with your life / You can finally do all those things that make you feel fine / I’ll be there and cheer from the sideline
Straight from my heart / I love you / Straight from my heart / I’m done with you and with all the mess we had to go through
I have nothing to show / No tricks up my sleeve / By now you’ve seen all my moves / They don’t look half as cool as they used to / Move on with your life / You can finally do all the things that make you feel fine / I’ll be there and cheer from the sideline
Everyone in their right mind / Who by sorrow, who by wine / Would come back home to you / I’ve seen this once before / I’ll be blue forevermore / But I’m not coming home to you

Going Gray
04:10

You let a harsh wind style your hair / But your sight is clear / You made up your mind / Why can’t I? / Softest skin set on fire / By the shameless liar / You made up your mind / Why can’t I?
On the wrong side of the road / I’m a shadow of my soul / Bring your friends and family / Let them watch what I’ve become
The asphalt knows, it knows me well / Please don’t ask, don’t make me tell / It’s always you, it was always you / But I fucked up and now we’re through

Here I am left to wonder / What it takes to be your friend / Put on my happy face / Don’t talk about how we fell from grace / A washed out blueprint of a man / I know closure never came / We go on and make the same mistakes again
Have you ever seen the light of the white line at night? / Have you ever seen it right in front of your eyes?
Yet thinking about it I can’t sleep / Ambiguity rules all our dreams / Am I too old for this? / For some corny joke about Spain / Then I feel your arms press against mine / And I know I’m done for life
We live by the minute, and never get caught / Under the sun, but never get too warm / We live by the fire, and never get burned / We’ll live by the sea, and never get old

Out On A Limb
05:08
|

Someday soon you’ll be gone / The best ones never stick around too long / All you are is a song / And I’m stuck here trying to find the words for you to sing along
I keep on wasting time and it’s not for you I cry / Self-centered assholes unite / There’s no easy way to show what’s the meaning of it all / I guess you’re gonna have to trust me blindly on this one / If you’re falling, just hold on
I’m still down, but not out / And it doesn’t matter if you’re not around / All you are is a song / And I’m stuck here trying to find the words for you to sing along
I keep on wasting time and it’s not for you I cry / I can barely keep up with mine / Emotional divide has us stuck on different sides / If I could just reach out my arm you would know we’ll be alright
If you’re falling, just hold on and be strong / It’s a sin to go out on a limb
It’s a shame, you’re on the run / While all the boys are having fun / Oh, don’t you know / I’ll let it show that you’re mine forever
It’s alright if we waste a little time / No, it’s not for you I cry / With your body next to mine / I was happy once or twice
It’s a shame, you’re on the run / While all the boys are having fun / Oh, don’t you know / I’ll let it show that you’re mine forever / Let the weirdos stick together / Hand in hand, head down and charging
