If I Were You

What’s left to do now, now that I’m done
Feels like I’m burning out, I’m not the only one
Just trying to keep things straight,
Make my way to where I started from
Said If I were you then I’d be patient
Said if I were you I’d stick around
Darling how’d you get so damn complacent
To believe this life will only let you down?
What’s left to say now, now that it’s said
Can’t hold your alcohol, and you can’t hold
Your head up straight, its so damn late
At night I say “I’ll wait for you in bed.”
What’s left to buy now, now that it’s bought
We got the garden house, a dead man’s ghost and all
Turn-key with bloody sheets,
I can hear the heart beat through the wall
It says If I were you then I’d be patient
Said if I were you I’d stick around
‘cause I know how it feels to be complacent
And believe this life will only let you down?
Chorus

Fall

This time, won’t be the last time
The last time that I come around
And still somehow make it out alive
This time, won’t be the last time
The last time that I get knocked down
To you I’m bound and who’s to say its right
But if you fall,
if you fall
If you fall,
you’re gonna lose it all
Fall, fall apart
I don’t think you meant what you said
I know your heart
So quick to take the long way
Most days you say,
Something that you read on a loose page, baby
Living in your head like an old cage cold and dark
Fall apart
Well this time, won’t be the last time
The last time that I realize
That I’ve been wrong and need to realign
This time, won’t be the last time
The last time for my college tries,
This heart of mine is just a sad disguise
Well if you fall, if you fall
If you fall, go on and lose it all
Fall, fall apart
I don’t think you meant what you said
I know your heart
So quick to take the long way
Most days, you say
Something that you read on a loose page, baby
Living in your head like an old cage cold and dark
Fall apart
Fall apart
Fall apart

It Was You
03:34

I know I can’t tell from where I’m standing
But now I feel that summer’s almost gone
I know it can be a lot to handle
To get let down by getting what you’ve wanted all along
Well coming down the stairs, combing back your yellow hair
It was you
Well coming down the stairs, combing back your yellow hair
It was you
Oh the moonlight changes things,
You were someone’s little boy
Oh you haven’t smiled since seventeen
Well you didn’t have a choice
Running out of time to learn my lessons,
I ran into an old friend at the bar
He said that I oughtta count my blessings
You got to where you’re getting but you’ve got your share of scars
Well coming down the stairs, combing back your yellow hair
It was you
Well coming down the stairs, combing back your yellow hair
It was you
Oh the moonlight changes things,
You were someone’s little boy
Oh you haven’t smiled since seventeen
Well you didn’t have a choice
Oh the moonlight changes things,
You were someone’s little boy
Oh you haven’t smiled since seventeen
Well you didn’t have a choice
Well you didn’t have a choice
Well you didn’t have a choice

Love I Hope You Stay
03:21
|
|||
|
Time to move on down the line
I’m gonna take my piece of mind
I’m gonna take my dear sweet time
Just walking out the door
‘Cause hard luck’s been a friend of mine
smoked my weed and drinks my wine
I nearly let him rob me blind
But hey, that’s what friends are for
Ain’t no time to wait
I rush to find my place,
Love can make things easier
Love I hope you stay
Sweet Eileen, my sweet revenge
I nearly thought I had you then
But now is now, and that was when
I never could be sure
But the times have changed and so have I
Seen the past with my own eyes
Comes around and never dies
The same way as before
Chorus

The Way She Moves
04:47
|
|||
|
If life’s an empty vessel, you’re not the first to fear
That it’s just flesh and muscle, how we wound up here
Me and you
Me and you
A couple drinks at dinner and a couple drinks before,
Bound to wear her thinner, ‘til she ain’t the same no more
Me and you
Me and you
But I never figured out what’s with the way she moves
No, I never figured out what’s with the way she moves
Well I never had it all figured out, like a good man should by now
I would call you in the morning, but I know you’re feeling so down
Well I never had it all figured out, like a good man should by now
I would call you in the morning…
But I never figured out what’s with the way she moves
No, I never figured out what’s with the way she moves
But I never figured out what’s with the way she moves
No, I never figured out what’s with the way she moves

I don’t wanna play anymore
I don’t wanna play anymore
Baby Norm’s on second base
And left field feels like outer space
I don’t wanna play anymore
Well it makes me nervous and it makes me wanna die
Bilingual service, bow your head and close your eyes
It makes me nervous and it makes me wanna die
Bilingual service, bow your head and close your eyes
Every single time
I don’t wanna play anymore
I don’t wanna play anymore
They speak with so much certainty
Bout whats to come of you and me
I don’t wanna play anymore
It makes me nervous, but I know one day we’ll die
I hope it’s worth it, all the dreams you were denied
It makes me nervous, but I know one day we’ll die
I hope it’s worth it, all the dreams you were denied
Every single time
I don’t wanna play anymore
I don’t wanna play anymore
I don’t believe in certainty,
But I believe in you and me
I don’t wanna play anymore
I don’t wanna play anymore
I don’t wanna play anymore

Outgrown
03:40
|

Staying up instead
Something that you said
Stripped away the thread
To roll around my head
Outgrown, this I know
Outgrown, where do I go now
Outgrown, this I know
Outgrown, where do I go now
So tragically yours
The sorrow that you’ve bore
Silently endured
What, I’m not quite sure
Age patiently forms
Tragic new contours
I just can’t ignore
That loving you’s a chore
Outgrown, this I know
Outgrown, where do I go now
Outgrown, this I know
Outgrown, where do I go now
I don’t want to break this news
A necromantic I love you
It’s not the first time, that I’ve come to find
That I need something new
I see my old friends in my dreams
With existential liturgy
The perfect match but face the facts,
That don’t mean we’ll always be

Satellites and Dust
04:45
|

|
The satellites and dust make it hard to see
I woke up on the ground, no mess of tangled sheets
And you can’t stand the sight, of the ugly side of me
I do this all the time, it’s all that I can see
Well its all that I can see
Well I sat down on the side, of some old memory
I’m running out of time and running low on sleep
Standing side by side, with the ugly side of me
I do this all the time, it’s all that I can see
It’s all that I can see

Waltz

I think I was only half your age before I figured out,
That there are things in this old life,
That might be nice but I could do without
And I know that, it don’t make a difference
If I stay here, or if I should leave
You don’t have to say a single thing, I think I know the look
I am familiar with the face
Believe me when I say it’s understood
And I’m not much at being romantic
You know this from when we were young
But I’ve got
A number in my pocket, I think we should try it
Don’t ya now
Well I’ve got,
A number in my pocket, I think we should try it
Don’t ya now,
Don’t ya now
Day to day, you know it’s hard to say
Just what I’m doing here
I guess I’m killing time
Waiting round to die
And waste another year
And I know that she’s probably happy
But I don’t think she’ll hold me again
Like way back when we were just strangers
And curfew was circling in
I’ve got,
a number in my pocket
I think we should try it
don’t ya now
I’ve got
a number in my pocket
I think we should try it don’t ya now
Don’t ya now
