- All Things All At Once
In those days, we were lions
In those days, we were kings
It's not one thing or the other
It's all things all at once
ooh, I will love you better than him [x5]
OOooh [x6]
- Dead American Writers
Here's to every time that you rock a boat
Here's to every word that you ever wrote
There were clues but it was never clear
You've got to choose your own way out of here
I could say anything you need, anyone you knew,
Anything you see, anything you say,
Anything you need, anyone you knew, anything you
- Get On The Road
The fire, the wine, the bed and you
In this crimson light I find the truth
And truth is like a punch or two
It hits you hard it knocks you through
So I... get on the road and ride to you
Kiss like a fight that neither wins
- Held In The Arms Of Your Words
There's light at the end of the day
when even the highways seem still
The map in my hands folded shut
There isn't one magical word
but a carnival of them instead
like an old silent cinema screen
- I Finally Love This Town
Oh first things first: how have you been?
It's been way too long since I've seen
your perfect face is lost in time
I see your hand is shaking
but so is mine
Because we've barely spoken
these last years
But now every memory's woken
- Northwestern Skies
It's not like it was before.
There's a beauty in slamming doors.
And the lightning plays in your eyes.
As it cracks through North Western skies.
Girl you were beautiful before.
But in the cyclone I love you more.
There's a pause in the faintest smile.
As the storm rages on for miles
- Pieces
I see her from the deep garden
And her hair is soaking wet
The bedroom light is flickering
To the pounding of your heart
You close your eyes and count to ten
When they open you're asleep"
Slow your breathing down to meet
All the shadows and the ghosts
- That Silver Necklace
Where's the silver necklace you, never wear anymore,
does it hurt just to see that thing.
Where's the sense in holding on, to the lie,
that has cast such a shadow on the both of us.
I can't see myself for you, it's no use,
I've been struck stupid floundering for far too long.
I've not found the strength to say, nor the urge,
cause I'm too scared you'll agree we need to talk.
- The Good Book
You were saved by the good book, I was saved by the half full glass.
So come on, take a good look, cause this party will be our last.
Now they’ve closed down the old bar, this town’s like an empty box.
Well they can’t have got that far ‘cause I still see some swinging locks.
When falling feels like flying there’s a dangerous hope,
cause the ground comes at you faster than you think.
And lurking in the shadows with the bears and wolves
is where you feel the most at home these days.
