Leave Somehow
03:45
|
|||
|
Two years doesn’t seem that long
Now that thirty have come and gone
Thumbing through a magazine
Feeling like she can’t be seen
He’s nowhere so she’s everything
Knowing now it was just a ring
Night falling like cool rain
Falling like the same old thing
Why can’t he feel it now
And why can’t she leave somehow
This wasn’t much to be
Poured into his reality
Cold home with these nice things
Another lost when she’s leaving
Chorus
Was he simply not awake
He had a life she wouldn’t take
All alone in a room at night
Leaving love without a fight
Chorus

Wrong Side of Dawn
02:56
|
|||
|
It’s cold and dark and you don’t know why you’re here
Something hard and familiar in your ear
You wake up too early his smell is nearly gone
Another last minute love
Made on the wrong side of dawn
The one you left can’t stand to hear your voice
The one you’re dying for is struggling with a choice
Waiting’s hard when what you want to do is wrong
Stealing a love that was
Made on the wrong side of dawn
Hard to tell if you want to be so raw
You hate the way you can’t breathe until he calls
A day’s not worth much if it has to be so long
Living for a love that was
Made on the wrong side of dawn

Be Enough
02:50
|
|||
|
I drive, I drive
Another town I’ll never know
A sigh, a sigh
Not anywhere till I let go
We try, we try
All the more fun I suppose
Will that be enough
Will I be enough
Will that be enough
Enough for us
I’m afraid, I’m afraid
For you it’ll never be the same
You say, you say
It’s always a new game
So I pray, I pray
Your words are enough to tame
Chorus

Fall Into Me
02:34
|
|||
|
In the bed we made
I stole a kiss from you
Secrets come and go but only love is true
You said I do
And I fell into you
In the morning moonlight
I saw into your eyes
You were standing near, had to pull you closer dear
And hear what I longed to hear
Standing oh so near
And it was very clear
When I’m far away and you’re sleeping sound
Will you dream of me, dream of all the possibilities
Of what we’re meant to be, falling into me
Falling into me

Shadow
06:31
|
|||
|
Why when I feel you can I not dream you anymore
Why when I see you does my heart hit the floor
Trees were the background for the color of your eyes
I couldn’t see now, you were beyond my many tries
Cause I am on the ground, I am high
Snow seeps in my skin
Here there is no sound, I can fly
But nothing can begin
The wind can’t be colder than the shadow in our bed
Words cannot save the sound of the things you never said
Chorus
Nothing I have here could ever take my wrong away
Cause even this blizzard could never make you stay
Chorus

Still Can't Breathe
05:13
|
|||
|
Like red roots that touch, you will always be tied to the core of me
Three miserable days, one closer to you and I still can’t breathe
I’d give you my blood to hold in a cup, if you drink you’ll see
I love you too hard to simply give up but I still can’t breathe
But I still can’t breathe
Can’t find the air that I crave
Things that get me through these days
Can’t find the air, I crave
It’s better to drink, than not know your tongue and how it feels on me
Waste after waste, the days are still young but I still can’t breathe
I still can’t breathe
Chorus
Inch after inch, you crawled in my skin, becoming me
You left for a dream I could never be in and I still can’t breathe
And I still can’t breathe
Chorus

Sinful Paradise
03:07
|
|||
|
Never needed your comfort
Only needed your time
You slithered up like a snake
Wrapped me in your vine
The devil in the details
With a head all full of wine
Sinful paradise
It’s a sinful paradise
In the backseat of a Chevy
Living down the line
You gave me a dozen roses
One at a time
The devil in the details
With a head all full of wine
Chorus

She Loved You Hard
03:43
|
|||
|
You drove her to extinction
So she can’t stand anyone
Looking through her window
Was the eye of your gun
I don’t care where you aim
She could be a ghost to you
Cause what you want from her
She’ll never do
She loved you hard
She loved you fierce
She let go of her heart
Now she has nothing left to fear
You can step back now
Leave here while you can
Cause all that’s left in there
Is a soul lost to man
Chorus
She’d hide for you
Looks like she’ll die for you
Chorus

Compare
03:01
|
|||
|
She wakes up in the middle of the morning
Crying out from a look in his eyes
He’s fast asleep doesn’t even roll over
Not strong enough to tell him why
He doesn’t want to know
What she can’t let go
When he is always there
Why does she always try to compare
One more beer she sucks another cigarette
Comfort comes in such small packages
They tell stories of the sweet free moments
Never more than she knows she should give
She doesn’t want to know
What she can’t let go
When she is always there
Why does he always try to compare
Most days she looks at them and knows
They love her too for all she gives to them
But when their mama comes they go running
Never more than she is to them
Chorus

Lonely One
03:20
|
|||
|
She never really gave a damn about money
She never really had an eye for gold
She said that rock n roll was her religion
That’s the only way she’d sell her soul
Nobody ever really paid her much attention
She sang to records in her bedroom at night
She bought a guitar, taught herself how to play it
She always knew she had to do it up right
Lonely one, you’re the only one
Sing your song, you won’t be lonely long
Sometimes it’s better if you know how to say it
Sometimes it’s better if you don’t give a damn
You see a vision and you learn how to play it
You hear the calling, get the hell out of town
Chorus
She found a way to clear her mind for the minstrel
Ride the rhythm, recognize her muse
To tell about it when her heart was tender
How it felt to be walking in her shoes
Chorus

Never Untangled
05:52
|
|||
|
Come into this house we shared for seventy years
You can look around and still you wouldn’t know that he’s not here
Come sit down in that old chair I swore that I’d throw out
They keep telling me he’s dead but I’ve begun to have my doubts
I know it’s over but it was more, more than just his life
A high lonesome wind is riding through the rest of my time
It’s a story I know you’ve heard how he came one summer day
Came to build a bridge that in the end would carry me away
I still get up at five am like that girl from Kentucky
Now I find myself alone and old in this cold northern city
I know it’s over but it was more, more than just his life
A high lonesome wind is riding through the rest of my time
Is it the man I miss or how he needed me for everything
My fingers are worn from serving him still bear my wedding ring
I can’t reckon I know just where he went but still it seems to me
One life so long with someone else can never untangled be

Walls Are Not Mine
05:10
|
|||
|
It came all after she walked out of the room
His glass had shattered as the sun crept past the moon
I don’t want anyone who’s capable of leaving
She says to no one, doesn’t know who she’s deceiving
She cries - these walls are not mine
I live in my control
You were never my love
Staying’s not something to be sold
He cannot be held for all that he might say
Cause he is just some boy in boots he found along the way
Chorus
You have not had anything like I can be
A gaze across the room, what do you think that you can see
What do you think that
What do you think that you can see
