The Place Where We Lived
03:26

This was the home, as good as we could have known
The snow would fall all day long
The birds in the trees, they sang their songs
The deer out back who were never alone
This was the place we once called our home
This was the place we once called our home
This was the road, tunnelled by trees, that lead us home
Up and down hills cut out of stone
Lit up on both sides with eyes that glow
It was alright, cause we took it slow
The weight of the place we once called our home
These are some lines, I was meaning to write, but I ran out of time
Late last year when you weren't by my side
So say them now cause I can make them mine
You're all that I needed to make it by
The place where we once lived our lives
The place where we once lived our lives
The place where we once lived our lives

Message From London
03:14

There's nothing wrong with how you see the world
In fact all of us that share your good
Since you've been away, I've had time to pay
Too much attention to the day
There's been a big mistake
We're headed down the drain
We trusted everything
And now we're losing the game
We could have clued in to things that were happening
We were too into ourselves to move
And now lines of you
Are joining hands for truth
Some gave their lives for proof
Their words just lies construed
And I probably should, end this with some good
And that message from you from London will do
You lifted my blue
Passing the phone 'round the room
Spreading love like a fume
You need to come home soon

Disappear
02:32
|
|||
|
I woke up in a sweat
About something I might have said
When I had way too much
And words, they just fell out of my head
I know we're interesting
When we open up
And talk about what we should not
But what I told you I
Swore I'd keep until I died
And now that I've let you know
There's no way to let you go
So we headed North with our guns
To the field of deer
And waited for the sun
Like we did all of those years
Except this time you'll disappear

Living Grows On You
01:59
|
|||
|
I was like you at your age
Ready to die at any time
It's paradoxical
But living grows on you don't you know
You begin to subtract
I've got twenty years left
Fifteen, ten
When you realize this for the last time
This is my last trip afar
I'm buying my last car

When the night came and took us
And the jukebox was turned up
With the light of our choices
We did not lose our voices
And the songs barely left us
And the waitress caught her breath
We rose to the surface
To fulfill our purpose
As we walked past some staring
I noticed you daring
Eyes to be carrying
That smile you've been wearing
In the graze of those screams
We decided to go free
In the haze of our dreams we
Saw possibilities
And in a week maybe less you
Were packing your bags to
Leave, while you still knew
The reasons you needed to
On the way to the train you
You seemed to be brand new
With your hair flowing through
The open window to, the moon
In front of the station
Someone who was waitin'
For his lover to wave to him
Got knocked to the pavement
By the ambulance light
We decided to stay awake
For fear that we wouldn't meet
Someone else to greet

Let's Break Up
03:06
|
|||
|
I suppose there's nothing more between us
When all we do is fill the room with sadness
Let's get it out to find the words to make up
Let's Break up
If you're going to leave me
Don't be teasing
You need to take a stand
If you're going to mess up
Then give me a heads up
I need to make some plans
When I came home, the road washed me to your shore
But the key was not where we once left it before
So i walked around, till some clown came out of your door
This is war
If you're going to leave me
Don't be teasing
You need to take a stand
If you're going to mess up
Then give me a heads up
I need to make some plans
If you're going to leave me
Don't be teasing
You need to take a stand
If you're going to mess up
Give me a heads up
I need to make some plans
I was a half glass
And you were a sad-sack
Together we're no good
I'd like to go back
Back to our last laugh
I'd like to think we could

Dilapidated Heart

Dilapidated Heart
I left you with so much sorrow
You just faded and wore down
I gave up on a tomorrow
And then left you so unsound
But giving up completely
Is not the way to treat me
Dilapidated heart
Why won't you take part?
Why?
I've left you alone for so long
All that's there is webs and dust
You know I would never steer you wrong
If I thought this was only lust
She came out of nowhere
Took away all of my air
And made me realize
That both you and I died
The last time we tried
To let someone inside
Dilapidated heart
Why won't you take part?
Why?

Never Lonely
03:01
|
|||
|
I've been doing just fine
I've been happy
I've been having a good time
Invitations lie
Unopened
I don't have the time
To reply
And I can't go out
Without a crowd
Music out loud
And life shining down
And I drink for free
And girls come to me
And never lonely
I have money now
And I spend it
On my every whim
I never sleep alone
Sometimes I wake up
In the arms of those
I don't even know
And I can't go out
Without a crowd
And music out loud
And lights shining down
And I drink for free
And girls come to me
And I'm never lonely
You should call me
If you're on my street
You left something behind

Let It Last
02:28
|
|||
|
Let is last, let it last
This moment in our grasp
Let the sun stay right where it is
Let us bask, let us bask
In this time that moves so fast
May you remain, just as I see you now
It's so sad, it's so sad
That the memories that I have
Are the ones that I don't want back
But it's alright, it's alright
It's O.K. yeah it's O.K
Cause today was the day
That the light hit you in a way
And it will always, always stay
But it's alright, it's alright
It's O.K. yeah it's O.K
Cause today was the day
That the light hit you in a way
And it will always, always stay
