- A Letter To Georgia
How can I explain to you the picture of this avenue?
The rain falls on the street outside my window on this Thursday afternoon.
I sit alone inside these sinful walls I've lived inside.
So many lies have lived and died; none so much as the one I lived with you.
I see you on the highway a thousand miles away.
Rain falls through your hair and cheeks.
Tears and mascara streaks.
- All At Once
We were born without time
Nameless in the arms of a mother, a father and God
When the world waits for us a thousand years in the crush
Of our eyes fearless in awe
So quietly we fade in to sleep
With nothing on our mind
Then we look to be loved
- All For A Woman
All of these grateful looks
All these grateful eyes
All the furious stares and the fretful sighs
Promising everything
To everyone
We'll be back soon
You're my favorite one
- All I Ever Wanted
I can only say these things to you while you're sleeping.
I hear the hum from the wires and the
Sounds of the morning creeping.
I lie awake and pretend, you can hear me.
And you tell me that your scared that you're
Turning into your mother.
I feel myself, turning into my father.
- Changin
All these buckets of rain, I’ve heard enough about. You say that I lied.
I am a gentleman didn’t I ask for a place I could stay What were we both thinking
The next part just got in the way. You were just always talking about changing.
What if I was the same then, the same I always was
All these things that you say, like I’ll forget about the mind-numbing games that you play.
I am a gentleman, didn’t I pay for every laugh every dime, every bit every time and then you feed me some line.
I won’t hear one more word about changing.
- Changing
All these buckets of rain, I’ve heard enough about. You say that I lied.
I am a gentleman didn’t I ask for a place I could stay What were we both thinking
The next part just got in the way. You were just always talking about changing.
What if I was the same then, the same I always was
All these things that you say, like I’ll forget about the mind-numbing games that you play.
I am a gentleman, didn’t I pay for every laugh every dime, every bit every time and then you feed me some line.
I won’t hear one more word about changing.
- Come On Out
Black lungs, headlights
Heading off to the city tonight, out the
Front door, turn right
I was alone, alright, alright, alright
I wonder what they'll think of me, I'll
Run away, run away
This is my town, this is my night
Heading off to the city tonight
- Everything I Love Is Broken
I was always in your corner
Patching up some cut
As the future and former
I like to think it was enough
All your words on point
Always talking some shit
As you rolled a joint
And played my new kit
- Faithless
I wake up early my head and rise
It's the fever dream of what we did last night
I flex my fingers and feel my age
Fifteen minutes till we take the stage
And I call you when I wake up drunk
My arms are cold and my head is sunk
They say the lights go up at ten PM
Just make sure you're okay by then
- Goodbye Horses
You told me, I see you rise
But, it always falls
I see you come, I see you go
You say, "All things pass into the night"
And I say, "Oh no sir I must say you're wrong
I must disagree, oh no sir, I must say you're wrong"
Won't you listen to me
- Half of Something Else
In the night that we met
You said that you wanted
Something more from me
And it was all that I could do
I remember your face, like a child
The way that you blushed and
- Happiness Is Overrated
And speaking of
Little Miss Catherine
I feel swell, oh well
Because losing you
Was something I always...
Did so well
I guess I just can't tell anymore
- Hell and Back
I held on as long as I could possibly
My blind faith pushing me to my knees
I felt the warmth of a touch
and it made me believe
I knew it well
I stood at the doorway hoping you might let me in
My head spinning 'round
- I Don't Want To Be Here Anymore
It's late now, I think I'm gonna need this
So what, you say, you had your reasons
Our faces frozen on the highway
No turning back, no turning back
It's just you and me, kid, against the world, now
They're after us, they're after us
Now you want to tell me something, something?
I don't want to hear about nothing, nothing
- Numb
(Hoo oo~)
(Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up)
I've been in a daze, it seems like days
That I've been waiting for this dream to pass
It goes so fast, it seems nothing lasts
I think I've lost something
- Papillon
All dressed up, no place to run
No car, no girl, no pills, no fun
Nothing to do in this empty room
I gotta get my head together soon
Alone again, no fans, no friends
You call me up at half past ten
And say "How are you holding up my friend?
- Poor Isaac
Oh and God just leave that Abraham alone
He wants a son, he wants a son
Don't we all just want a home?
Though I'm not quite sure if poor Isaac would agree
My God, he said "What did I do
to make you wanna watch me bleed?"
- Safe
It was early for a summer
All the people and the noise from the bar
You in your grey dress, your arm on the window
You said, what's the difference, what's the difference?
Just say it to me
Just say it to me
And let's not make it a thing
- Sometime Around Midnight
And it starts, sometime around midnight.
Or at least that’s when you lose yourself
for a minute or two.
As you stand, under the bar lights.
And the band plays some song
about forgetting yourself for a while.
And the piano’s this melancholy soundtrack to her smile.
And that white dress she’s wearing
- Sometimes Around Midnight
And it starts
Sometime around midnight
Or at least that's when
You lose yourself
For a minute or two
As you stand
Under the bar lights
- Strange Girl
It was an old song from,
"Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me" that she sang
It was an old line
I kept it with me, with me, with me when she rang
You're such a strange girl
You're such a strange, strange girl
You're such a strange girl
- The Girls in Their Summer Dresses
It's so quiet on these windswept days
The city lights look golden rays
The sunlight on a subway track
So you're mad again
If you like, I'll take it back
They're just your feelings
I wasn't looking at her eyes
- The Graveyard Near The House
The other day, when we were walking by the graveyard near the house,
You asked me if I thought we would ever die.
And if life and love both fade so predictably,
We've made ourselves a kind of predictable life.
And so I pictured us like corpses, lying side by side in pieces,
In some dark and lonely blood under a bow.
We looked so silly there, all decomposed, half turned to dust,
- The Kids Are Ready To Die
"The Kids Are Ready To Die"
All these inanimate places feel like they're changing.
And the kids all lined up on the wall look like they're ready to die.
These forms they're sending me, it's like they just rearrange them.
We were caged up like animals questioned and ready to cry!
'Cause I was just 13 when I got my first taste of danger.
- The Thing About Dreams
The thing about dreams,
Is that everything seems,
Like you're riding a wave.
It's been forming all day in your mind.
The thing about time,
It's all in your mind.
Days turn to weeks turn to years turn to infinite signs,
- This Losing
Standing at your doorway
My stomach all tangled and tight
Have it your way
Oh god where are you tonight?
Cause I dont know what I'm doing here
Where to begin
Just take a deep breath
- Welcome To Your Wedding Day
Well It's another fine day of the nation built
Well let's have a parade
You can dance on the graves and the bones of the children
If you know what to say
And you know its begun from the beat of the drum
And the screams from the mouths of babes
And we pray as we're watching the charade
Welcome to your wedding day
- Wishing Well
Standing on a bus stop
Feeling your head pop
Out in the night
In the kind of night
Where you want to be out
On the street, on the street
Crawling up the walls
Like a cat in heat
