Just Leavin'
03:31
|

|
Here at the start of changing seasons
Nothing could be more deceivin'
These simple lies and complex reasons
Don’t say hey, 'cause I’m just leavin'
Oh the noon has come before the mornin'
Its light is burnin' through the evenin'
And I can’t ignore my final warnin'
Don’t say hey, I’m just leavin'
My ears hurt worse than eyes and mouth
So hard to hear through all the bleedin'
My how soon I’m headed south
Don’t say hey, 'cause I’m just leavin'
Oh I must be lost, this should be nothin'
But it’s somewhat somethin' of a feelin'
And I will wander 'til I’m crumblin'
Don’t say hey, I’m just leavin'
And far behind these pleasant guesses
I thought that I had been dreamin'
But help me turn these no’s to yes’s
Just don’t say hey, 'cause I’m just leavin'
Oh the noon has come before the mornin'
Its light is burnin' through the evenin'
And I can’t ignore my final warnin'
Don’t say hey, don’t say hey
Don’t say hey, I’m just leavin'

We Are Lost
02:24
|
|||
|
We are lost
We are looking for a place to hide
We are lost
We are dead inside
We are always looking for
A way back home
A way back home
A way back home
We are lost
We are looking for a place to hide
Are you here or are you there
Waiting for me to come
And see your love?
To be your love?

In My Heart
03:10
|
|||
|
What’s wrong with me?
I need to be released
What’s wrong with you?
You look a little blue
Have some sweet love
Until you get enough
Hold me like this
And take another kiss
In my heart you always stay
A way to sleep
Would be a melody
To us if we
Lose our uncertainty
Be still my love
I think we’ve had enough
Hold me like this
And take another kiss
In my heart you always stay
In my heart you always stay

Hard Time
02:31
|
|||
|
If you could see what I want
I’d have a hard time
Containing myself
But since you don’t
I have a hard time
Believin' this is right
But if you would change my mind
It could all be fine
And I would learn to be alright
But when there are no words
I have a hard time
Hearing what you say
With all you've done
I have a hard time
Knowing what to think
But if you would change my brain
It could be the same
As when you first called my name
I have a hard time
I have a hard time
You give me a hard time
Why do you give me a hard time?
Hard time
Oh if you would change my mind
It could all be fine
And I would learn to be alright
If you could see what I want
I’d have a hard time
Containing myself

Would It Matter
03:14
|
|||
|
Would it matter if I said
I could hear the things you mean?
Would it matter if I said
I believe?
Would it matter if I left
And never came back?
Would it matter
If we just fell asleep?
'Cause I don’t want to go
But I want you to know
That you’re not the problem with me
No I don’t want to go
But you said it so
There’s nothing to do now but leave
Would it matter if I quit
The things that you don’t like?
Would it matter if I gave up
On love?
Would it matter if we wait
Until I win a fight?
Would it matter
If we just had enough?
'Cause I don’t want to go
I just want you to know
That you’re not the problem with me
No I don’t want to go
But you said it so
There’s nothing to do now but leave
I'll leave
I’ll just leave
Would it matter if I said
I could hear the things you mean?
Would it matter
If I just fell asleep?

Wrong Turn
02:58
|
|||
|
For some reason I left
My heart out in the rain
For some reason I guess
For some reason I never thought
That this would end
For some reason I guess
But we’ve taken a wrong turn
We’ve taken a wrong turn
Taken a wrong turn
Taken a wrong turn
Oh when will we learn?
When will we learn?
Taken a wrong turn
For some reason you left
Your heart out in the rain
For some reason I guess
For some reason we never thought
That this would end
For some reason I guess
But we’ve taken a wrong turn
We’ve taken a wrong turn
Taken a wrong turn
Taken a wrong turn
Oh when we will learn?
When will we learn?
Taken a wrong turn

Only Lover
03:15
|
|||
|
My name is written on the wall
Somewhere amongst them all
A tapestry of words so small
Am I your only
Am I your only lover?
You took a little time to rest
From the gunslingin' contest
The issues were overpressed
Am I your only
Am I your only lover?
Let’s say you go to sleep
And pretend you’re half awake
How much can you fake?
How much can I take?
A hazy mirror blocks my view
From seeing what I do, too
If only I could be like you
You’d be my only
You'd be my only lover
My only lover
My only lover
Only lover...

Gone Tomorrow
02:45
|
|||
|
I know it’s all going to be okay
It just takes a little while to fade away
Yeah it’s all going to be okay
But so much for here today
'Cause you’re already gone tomorrow
Leaving me so much to say
With a heart that is so full of sorrow
And I could let you burn away
Like a wildfire
And I could let you turn away
Like a bad liar
And I could let you
Learn the way that I did
That words don’t mean a thing
'Cause they don’t mean a thing
I know it’s all gonna be okay
It just takes a little while to fade away
Yeah it’s all going to be okay
But so much for here today, 'cause
You're already gone tomorrow
Leaving me so much to say
With a heart that is so full of sorrow
And I could let you burn away
Like a wildfire
And I could let you turn away
Like a bad liar
And I could let you
Learn the way that I did
That words don’t mean a thing
'Cause they don’t mean a thing

Got a Feelin'
02:48
|
|||
|
Feel the weight
Feel it drop
Feel it anchor us down
We’ll go nowhere with this
We’ll go nowhere with this
I got a feelin'
That you’re gonna be there
Every time I turn around
You pick me up
You tear me down
And watch me fall and break my crown
You wanted out on your own
Now I can't say I’ve moved on
But I got a feelin'
That you’re gonna be there
Every time I turn around
Yeah I got a feelin'
That you’re gonna be there
Every time I turn around
Feel the weight
Feel it drop
Feel it anchor us down

Edge of My World
03:02
|
|||
|
I’m at the edge of my world
Afraid to look over
And see what’s down there
See what’s waiting
On the shore of my universe
But climbing out of the water
I see you out there
I see you fading
No more words
Just a numb feeling
In my chest
No feelings at all
Relief or regret
I’m passing on fantasy
I’ll leave that to you
If I have to wait forever
For love to be true
I’ve said this before
I’m afraid to move over
And see what’s down there
See what’s waiting
On the shore of my universe
But you're climbing out of the water
And I see you out there
I see you fading
No more pain
Just a numb feeling
In my veins
No feelings at all
Relief or regret
I’m passing on fantasy
I'll leave that to you
If I have to wait forever
For love to be true
For love to be true
I’m at the edge of my world
Afraid to look over
See what’s down there
See what’s waiting
On the shore of my universe
