- American Standard - Headstrong
I know, I know, I know she has heard this all before
She don't break, she don't sink, don't think, don't think a thing of me
Won't be your favorite girl, won't hear your favorite song
She's heard that song before
She doesn't notice the things that I take for granted
Were my own to give, my own to give and take
- Break The Spell
This, with every good wish I will bring to you
The next place we land is the remedy
For you and me
If the part of you that wants to settle down
Wants the part of me that wants to move around
Nothing out there will ever break the spell
- Dislocated
I had an awful wakeup dream, everything was just what it seemed
I had a nightmare soaked in light, everything was cracked from inside
I've seen the way I go in the end, I shut my eyes to begin
Little black cars stretched out In a line
All moving backwards in time
There's no connection
There's no emotion
- Dreaming Against Me
I can tell that your angry with me
By the way that you fall asleep
Its like your dreaming against me
And your body moves to the edge of the lake
I can tell when you've had enough
By the way we move in the dark
- Headstrong
I know, I know, I know she has heard this all before
She don't break, she don't sink, don't think, don't think a thing of me
Won't be your favorite girl, won't hear your favorite song
She's heard that song before
She doesn't notice the things that I take for granted
Were my own to give, my own to give and take
- Last Kiss
You were my first mistake
And even if thats true
I would take that punch again
If it would bring me back
I thought id changed for you
It turns out just not enough
Distance and telephones
- Lucky
Mean Mr. Mustard says he's bored
of life in The District.
Can't afford the French Quarter high
says it gets old real quick
and he pales up next to me
scrawled on the pavement
It says: Son, time is all the luck
you need.
- Settle Up
I'm a False Start on a Jukebox, a broken heart after last call
It's lights up, I'm locked in, and now its time to settle up
No slow emotion anymore
I know the secret of this town
Faster Faster you're to the floor
It sets you up just to knock you down
- Shelf Life
Words keep falling from my mouth,
Trying just to slow them down.
Keep on spilling around,
Saying, "Why do you hurt me?"
And if anger is my gift,
The only gift I'm fit to bring,
Then put me on your shelf,
See the winter in me.
- Wait
I imagine long walks down the road
Things begin to bloom and the sky explodes
The damage is undone, and then I know
This has got to be a
Dream machines and luxuries don't last
I took my sleep for granted in the past
And I woke up half-dead in the hourglass
Now, does that sound funny?
