- All Mine
Beautiful
I'm into something beautiful
But I need you to be dutiful
Til' I get home
High time
I told you darlin', high time
High time we draw the papers up and sign it
For everything I did in silence
- Between Cities
I could drive a thousand miles
I don't even know what it's like to be tired
Oh no, between the lines
No, I don't even know what it's like to be tired
Come on leave the house, lock the door
No, we don't even know what we're tryin' for
Only know to see the light
- Don't Deny It
In this world, there's a losing end?
Boys and girls, women and men
When you swore not to love again
But you know you will
Just don't deny it, yeah
Don't deny it, oh
Don't deny it, yeah
- Go to Her
She took a train to see him
How very European
And bought a little gift on the way
It took a lot of debating
I couldn't really take it
So I flew to Nashville in the rain
But are you still in the hotel baby?
Are you still in the hotel room?
- God Forbid
I used to worry about typical things,
They never kept me up at night,
They never took the wind right out of me,
And brought me to my knees,
I used to worry bout typical things,
I never bowed my head
I didn't see the use
- I Don't Belong to You
Pretendin' beauty, like it don't exist
A couple feudin', truthful kiss
You wake up Spanish, sayin' all their names
You fake an accent to cover the shame
And the absolutism of those who sleep
And the who is who ism is the bit you keep
And I don't belong to you
You don't belong to me, no
- I Live a Little Lie
It's callin' like a train sound
Quiet as a church mouse
I never got nervous, I knew you'd come around
I live a little lie now
It's always in the background
But whether I can live it down
I never got nervous, I knew you would get out
I live a little lie now
- It'll Work Itself Out
She wakes up in the mornin'
Sleepin' in the bed I made
Bound to get away I'd say
I wake up in the mornin'
Thinkin' of her again
Did I ever make her day?
Did I ever make her day?
See I broke my mind in half
- Jail
Way on down
In the jailhouse town
There's a girl with a flower for a name
She says, I don't care my man is losing his hair
I'm gonna love him
And a family dwells
- Kennedy
When they say your father's name,
They're talkin' ‘bout a boat.
They're not talkin' ‘bout him.
Cause they don't trust you as far
- Lawren Harris
I live on my own now
I don't know where to sit
I bought a couch
I got a chair
I don't feel attached to it
And what I do, don't do it
It takes a man twice as strong to stick to it
- May 21, 2012
I can love you
Or better yet, I can leave you alone
Leave my phone
Untouched like, say, I don't know
And if I try hard
And if I sing all the songs
Would you notice
- My Good Friends
My good friends ain't nothin' but trouble
My good friends ain't no help to me
Lord I'll win this fight, I ain't tried but I just might
My good friends ain't no help to me
And if I went back there today
You don't work there anyway
Lord I'll win this fight I ain't tried, but I just might
- Next Year
My brother and me
Used to climb this tree
We were gonna build a little clubhouse
'Bout ten feet off the ground
We drew the whole thing up
Needed wood and our dad's truck
But he was out of work that summer
The truck only had one gear
- On The Nights You Stay Home
On the nights you stay home
I don't even go downtown
So don't worry about it
Don't want to know what I'm doing now
And on the nights you stay home
I don't run into your friends
Had a party in Parkdale
At a bar in the east end
- Our Friend Bobby
Cops found him on a Sunday
So we all met up Monday night
I guess we always kinda figured this might happen, someday
It's just a drag that we were right
Everybody tellin' me that he's in heaven
He's probably smilin' down on us right now
But judgin' by the kind of stuff he was all mixed up in
Even I have my doubts
- Portland, Maine
I don't wanna be talking on the phone every night
6 pm, which timezone, yours or mine?
Ain't gonna worry where ya are, who you're with
Let's just agree this is it
Portland, Maine
I don't know where that is
Leave your bags in the car, keep it running
I won't pretend
- Put On, Cologne
All the windows on the second floor
Where I lived with all those chicks
I don’t live there no more
And all your letters written in your tiny voice
Telling me to come back home as if I had another choice
I was a believer in the bar-back, baby.
I was a believer in Rome
- Taft
William Howard Henry Taft
Break a bottle on a boat and raise a glass
To your brother’s sullen ass.
He says I’m a millionaire now.
I don’t want to go.
If he hollers let me know that.
- The Coldest State
I was in the coldest state, love
I was in the coldest state, love
I was in the coldest state, love
I was in love once
Believe me you can be, love
I was in the coldest state of love
Nobody knows why
Faith in the old style
- The Worst Way
If I lied to you
Would it turn you on?
Would you want me more
If I was gone?
And if I stayed out late
Would you wonder why?
If I was cruel to you
Would it keep you mine?
- We Never Met
Let's just say that
The party never happened
I never noticed your eyes
So it stands to reason
You didn't leave with me
If we never met that night
So I guess I don't know
- Won't Come Back
I got shot beneath the club
You did too but I paid them off
And then I came to visit you
But you still don't smile
'Cause I'm overdue
Some old man, he wrote a song
If I was old, I would sing along
