Oh No
05:58
|

Waking up, early in the morning
Seperate my body and dreams
Say hello to the new ideas
That my departure left for me
Oh no, somethings wrong
Can’t seem to turn anything on
All my batteries are gone
And there's a weight that I've been holding on to, too long
To be someone that everybody knows
At a place where everybody goes
To find somebody they know
Oh no somethings wrong
I can't turn anything on
All my batteries have run out now
From a weight that I’ve been holding on to, too long
Well Maybe that's it
Maybe that's all we’re gonna get
I don't know
We’re just waiting out on the vine
Well and I heard
Heard that they’ve been coming for you
Cause they're here for me too
We’ve been left out on the vine

I Dont Even Wanna Know
02:30
|

|
Now what are you
And what were you to me
Something in between
My head and a dream
I've been waking up
Terrified at night
What was the question
Or is this the light
But I don’t even wanna know
Yea I don't even wanna know
How its gonna end
Or where it began
I just need a friend
So won't you be my man
Cause I don't even wanna know
Well you can come in
But just a couple minutes
Most of this is junk
That I’ve been trying to sell
Well in a year or two
I can fill you in
About things that i forgot
What else I’m trying to lose
But I don’t even wanna know
Yea I don't even wanna know
How its gonna end
Or where it began
I just need a friend
So won't you be my man
Yea I don't even wanna know
I just need a friend
Yea I don't even wanna know
Well I don’t even wanna know

Sad Eyes
03:51
|
|||
|
Keep your eyes on the road
Are you drifting away
Think you can stay awake another hour tonight
We gotta move on
Cause it just doesn’t feel right
These songs they don't hurt me like they used to
Oh oh oh
Sad eyes have given up
I can see right through them
In the rear view mirror you look back at me
And I know that this is the end
Oh oh oh sad eyes
Oh oh oh sad eyes
Well say what you want
Take the time that you need
It’s a big fucking lie and we got in deep
We gotta move on
Cause it just doesn’t feel right
These songs they don't hurt me like I need them to
Oh oh oh
Sad eyes have given up
I can see right through them
In the rear view mirror you look back at me
And I know that this is the end
Oh oh oh sad eyes
Oh oh oh sad eyes
Something else I never knew
It’ll take everything from you
Oh oh oh
Sad eyes have given up
I can see right through them
Sad eyes have given up
And I know that this is the end
Oh oh oh sad eyes
Oh oh oh sad eyes

Wednesday At Noon
03:42
|
|||
|
Well isn’t it strange now
It’s only Wednesday at noon
Doesn’t mean that much to me
Dreaming between the floor and the ceiling
But it's Wednesday evening now
Pork chops and mashed potatoes
Under a veil of worry and doubt
Where did we go wrong
How do we turn it back on
I can't always take care of you
Crawling around
Did you even do the dishes now
I want to love you
But sometimes it's hard to do
Sometimes it's hard to do
Well it's strange now
That time is even anything
I never kept track before
You told me that I should meet you here
On a Wednesday at noon
Drinking filtered tap water
With cucumber and berries infused
What the shit went wrong
How do we turn it back on
I can’t always take care of you
Crawling around
You should stand on your own by now
I wanted to love you
But you made it hard to do
Made it hard to do
Made it hard to do
Made it hard to do yea

Spillway River
03:45
|
|||
|
There’s a spillway river that runs
Down the hill from the houses above
That field that always floods
You point out the window every time it does
Then you ask me what I've been thinking about
But I don't really remember now
The sky is orange magenta and blue
Blended in to your glass jar
It's a slightly cheaper view
Back there to where you are
Time’s so funny things just disappear
That's just the catch about loving someone
That’s just the thing about loving anyone
There’s a spillway river that runs
Down the hill from the houses above
Would I open that door and let you come in
Make a wreck of everything again
I still remember you pulling each button apart
One by one, One by one
Time’s so funny things just disappear
That's just the catch about loving someone
That’s just the thing about loving anyone

Lonely All The Time
03:40
|
|||
|
Lonely all the Time
Out on the road, every day this month, and I just got paid
But I’ve got hundreds of miles to go before home
I see those kids they motion out their window so I lay on the horn
They all laugh and I keep moving on
Oh mountains and plains, the rivers and lakes, they’re all about the same
From my heavy eyes drifting between the lines
Been too long since I've been home
Sometimes I think it should be a crime
To be
Lonely all the time
Well I remember you, how you used to come running every time I’d stop by
But it feels like a dream from another lifetime
I think they’re shaking me loose, out on the vine, and I’ll probably let go
Cause I’m getting too close to the end of the road
Been too long since I've been home
Sometimes it doesn’t feel right
To be
Lonely all the time

I Know The Rules
04:27
|
|||
|
Won’t you let me come on in behind the scenes
Won’t you empty out your brains and find your keys
Well I think you know, think you know now what it means
Yeah you told me all about your first true loves
Lazy days of doing TV drugs
Yeah the coffee table always has all the fun
Well you don't need to tell me when I’m down
I’ve spent a whole lot of time playing the clown
So I know the rules by now
Yea I know the rules by now
Oh i’m not a fool am I now
Yea I’m not a fool am I now
So now who are you to say that it hasn’t been bad
I mean jesus christ don’t you even talk like that
Just because you laid your head down in my bed
Well I don’t need to tell you when your down
I think you know how to fall in line now
Yea you know the rules by now
Yea you know the rules by now
Oh your not a fool are you now
Yea your not a fool are you now
Well it’s not on my mind anymore
No there's no big surprises anymore
Yea I know the rules by now
Yea I know the rules by now
Oh I’m not a fool am I now
Oh I’m not a fool am I now

Better Than A Comeback
05:03
|
|||
|
It's better than a comeback
Cause we’ve done that before
It’s better than always trying
To keep settling a score
I know how complicated love can get
It's better than all the reasons that we had to quit
But don’t lie to me
Cause I wanna know
That there’s a place for us
That there’s a loan
And do you want me
The way I want you
Completely
And incomplete
It's better than a comeback
Cause we’ve done that before
It’s better than always trying
To keep settling a score
I know how complicated this love can get
It's better than all the reasons that we had to quit
It's better than all the reasons that we had to quit

Don't See It That Way
03:52
|
|||
|
Well I think that I’m gonna be sick
Thinking about paying the rent
Cause I don't know where I’m gonna get
Another couple hundred bucks
It's been a hell of a month
But I know you don't see it that way
There’s a double lock on the door
You like to call the cops just because your bored
Well it’s a big and empty place
It’s been a lot of bad fate
An invisible weight
Well I know they don’t see it that way
Well someone else was leaving
And they opened up the door
I guess that's how i ended up here
Don’t know where I was before
Or even if you’ll let me stay
But I’ll try to see it their way
Well the dust of air
You’ll get on anyway
Without me here
But I don't know for sure
What it's about but I think
It can turn around
If they’d only see it my way
Well time is in a line
Straight back there to where you are
And I know it was right
Back home just for the summer
Everything still undiscovered
I’m still trying to see it that way

Daydreaming
03:56
|
|||
|
Well this is the end
Of that long road that we’ve been talking about
I guess I should of known when I got here
I’ve had it pretty easy you know
Relatively it was mostly a show
For anyone who wanted to open that window
I was daydreaming all my time away
Misunderstood by the ones that didn’t even stay
Isolated with my first true friend
Daydreaming is all I wanna do
Until the very end
Well this is the end
Of that big world that's been spinning around
I guess we finally shut the whole thing down
Well the smiling sun is gonna explode
Oh the oceans they’re gonna overflow
I’ll be drifting away out my window
Just daydreaming all my time away
Misunderstood by the ones that didn't even stay
Daydreaming until we meet again
Daydreaming is all I wanna do
Until the very end
So this is the end
Of that long road that we’ve been talking about
I guess I should of known we’d get here somehow
I was daydreaming all my time away
Misunderstood by the ones that didn't wanna stay
Daydreaming til we meet again
Daydreaming is all I wanna do
Daydreaming til we meet again
Daydreaming is all I wanna do
