I snuck right out the back door
The minute that you called
I'm Irish with my goodbyes
It's my calling card
You said that all the changes
Were getting hard to take
So meet me in the middle
Where we used to hang

Can you face it?
Can you embrace it?
You can't replace, no
The time you've wasted
This panorama
Portland to Alabama
The ground you're standing
To protect your family

I was heading to the bus stop matty
you were reading in your room, holed up all day.
you picked me up in a brand new Audi
and said "she bought it for herself on mother's day"

Then we hum along to some familiar tune
"I like women and songs", you said "it's from volume two".

No no really, this one's on me
I'll let you get the next time
We go out for coffee
'Cause I wanna know

All about your history
Open my eyes
We can solve this mystery

Passed down from your father, you come by it honestly
Passed out from exhaustion
Looking around for some relief
You put your money on the wrong horse
All alone and in the middle of nowhere
You put your money on the wrong horse
Premonitions start to whisper
When you've always been a company man

I couldn't fall asleep sweating under the sheets on the third floor
Street sweeper baby passing by and I tell you it's starting to roar
I could smell her sun kissed skin in the bed lying near me
You haven't tipped your head yet
You're keeping your cards close to your chest
Your thigh highs and your dirty blonde hair (oh, oh)
I'm waiting on you
I got this twin bed and it's ours to share (oh, oh, oh, oh, hey)

You went through five schools, before you were 17
I can only guess what those brown eyes have seen
If we're just a blank state mixed with a little bit of DNA
And those weekend visits when he'd show up late
When I feel helpless, I see you smiling back at me
Like every little thing is gonna be okay
Ya you're a tough kid, way tougher than me
I'll put a bet on you any day

This campfire won't last forever
The Hip have only wrote so many songs
And we can sort of harmonize together
You hold my hand, as you try to hold on

We can't stay up north for the summer
Head back to the city and find a job
I know my family loves you like their daughter

"Knocking At The Door"

Got the North Star guidin' me
It's the fire burning inside of me
No, I don't need a miracle
I got something far more powerful

Got the North Star guidin' me
It's the fire burning inside of me
No, I don't need a miracle
I got something far more powerful
And in this collective
I've got a brand new perspective
Some news that might break the tension
Can't walk on water

Driving to work,
I had the radio on,
Only to hear
Curtis Granderson's gone.
Reminders, they come
In empty lots.
'67
Took these city blocks.

It's been a long time
Since I felt this way
Feels like the first time
When you look my way
Now, I don't know if I'm lying to myself
I need to see you one more time
Before I see anybody else
You're only honest when it's 3 AM

This time she really tried
Came home and the place was decorated
Put his pictures in frames
Even ones of his friends
That she hated
She smiled from the couch
Awaiting for him to come over
He put down his suitcase

Why did you lose your accent?
It comes out when you're with your old friends
They said you better mask it
Don't want the big city laughing
One thing that I know
You gotta let your colors show
There's no use in denying
I'm done living a lie

I told you don't worry 'bout me
There's nothing we can do
Just spend some time with me
That's all I want from you
I worry about my family
And what they're going through
Spending their days waiting for me
In the waiting room

Now I heard about your hometown
From my cousins who live there.
And I heard about the gold found
Enough for everyone to share.

And I heard about the numbers
And I heard they were high.
Nobody likes to t-t-talk about it

Words, they keep dropping.
They keep spilling from my hands on to paper.
I’m in Virginia.
It’s 3am and I can’t fall asleep.

Just a little bit of faith is what I want,
it’s what I need in my institutions.
So I wait, so patiently…
