Smile and Wave

I can't think,
Of any reason, you'd listen to my brain.
The coming season,
Will make me cold and take you away.
I can't speak,
On your behalf today.
So I just smile and wave.
You tell me it's not enough.
The money. The shelter.
We've been through this before.
You know we'll do so much better.
What can I do,
When you criticize my every move?
Who am I without you?
I don't speak what I think,
Because I'm afraid of what you'll have to say.
So I'll keep telling you
All the little things that you want to hear.
You'll never know what happens,
Behind closed doors.
What I am looking for.
Who knows what I'm looking for?
You stole my heart.
Threw it down on the floor.
And I still stick around,
Though we've been there before.
And everyone one I know says
I've had this coming.
How did we end up in this place?
A broken sense of direction.
How did we end up in this place,
Where do we go from here?

Watch Your Back
04:07

Love is nothing but a shady contract you shouldn't sign.
If there's one thing I've learned,
You gotta watch your back before you watch mine.
We had the same friends.
And I'd see you around almost every night.
We'd drive our cars out past the lights,
And build a fire to keep us up all night.
You told me I was the first one to know all about the trouble that you got in.
But we were so young.
How should we know, what it really meant?
We'll get through this together.
Take it one step at a time.
While growing closer to each other,
Or playing a game of grey twisted lines.
Oh I was convinced.
You didn't mean it when you grabbed my hand.
I'm sorry. I know I should've made it clear
that we're just to be friends.
This stops right here.
You've already done more damage than you can fix.
Love is nothing but a shady contract you shouldn't sign.
If there's one thing I've learned,
You gotta watch your back before you watch mine.
You know I've been trying to tell you that I don't love you, for quite some time.
But you've got this thing where you only listen when I'm not talking.
I refuse, I refuse to see my heart broken, not by you.
You'd call me your safe haven. I was the one you'd run to.
Those suburbia nights all washed out by the drugs and the Mayer tunes.
I don't trust myself with loving you.

The Deep End
04:19

You left a trail of tears on the floor,
And I know it was intentional.
You have this way of fucking up,
Everything you touch and it never gets better.
Don't hold your breath my dear,
You won't be alright.
I won't be at home when you get there.
I think it's time you found a little piece of mind.
I've always wanted to say this.
But I couldn't find the words to get it off my chest,
So I wrote this song for you.
And I know you've gone crazy but I can't be a part of it.
So when you ask me to tell you the truth,
I won't apologize.
It's not the place or time to get all up in your feelings.
I never wanted to be part of your chaos.
And if it helps you to say I'm sorry,
then spit it out.
The only words I want to hear from your mouth.
Don't try to make me the blame,
When you know you're all alone,
at home facing the shame.
Let's take this slow, cuz I want it to hurt.
And I want you to know you made it easy,
To move on, and write off the memories.
Let's take this slow, cuz I want it to hurt.
And I want you to know how it feels to be,
Hated by everyone around you.
Another fight in the books without a round two.
Let's take this slow, cuz I want it to hurt.
And I want you to know you made it easy,
To move on, and write off the memories.
We all knew you'd fall in the deep end.
Or maybe trip, fall further from the sky.
We all knew swimming wasn't your strong suit.
Practice makes perfect babe, it's just a matter of time.

I looked away from your face.
For the moment I was mesmerized
By the look in your eyes.
Remember when we would stay,
And sleep all day at your place.
I was comfortable, but always wondered
if we'd move on together.
Can we just stay?
And make our way through the falling rain.
Take my hand. Walk with me.
No one but you means anything.
I looked away from the sun.
The early light it's not so fun.
But the glow upon your face,
Reflects the light in a brilliant way.
I will never forget,
That week alone in Boston.
How much you loved the ocean,
And the way you looked at me.

Nightmare
03:23
|
|||
|
Stop ringing my phone.
It's overwhelming.
I think I need some time alone.
Sometimes I get lost in the night,
Glaring at stars and wondering,
How to reconcile my fragile, clouded mind.
I imaged you lost at sea.
But you were only hiding from me.
Babbling on inside my head,
About all the love I have to give.
I hope to find you someday.
I know you're out there waiting.
Feel the fracture in my bones again.
For now I'm just faking love to
Satisfy my vacant heart.
What is this nightmare?
When can I go home?
I've lost my way once or twice before.
And you'll never know,
That you broke me apart.
But I still need you to get by.
It took whole lot of cigarettes and alcohol,
To cauterize the wounds you left behind.

Urban Camper

You still hang around,
On my side of town.
I caught a glimpse of your face,
Yesterday.
What's the fun in holding on,
When you can just move on?
There's nothing in your way.
You broke the silence,
It lasted three whole weeks,
But I could breathe for minute.
I want the sunlight in my eyes,
Like yesterday.
I can only fake a smile for so long,
But I'll never admit it.
I can only imagine,
What's going through your mind.
Lets sing about the good times,
Like dancing in the rain.
And how you always wanted to go home,
When you knew I wanted to stay.
Why can't we see through this?
You know we never met eye to eye.
Cross my heart. Sure, I tried.
But you can't stay here tonight.
I'm sure I sound like a broken record now
Cause I've become so apathetic.
It's getting hard to remember who I was,
Yesterday.
You could use you words like knifes
And I wouldn't feel it.
I'm already healing.
And the scars will fade away.

Hold The Door
02:42

I took the clock off the wall.
It ticks you've be gone for so long.
I haven't slept a full night,
Without a call from you.
Don't wanna open my eyes,
Just to see the dark of the night.
And I'm only scared when you're
not here and I'm left wondering.
Can you hold the door for me?
Because it's cold outside and
I don't wanna be alone.
I don't wanna be without you.
Can you sing that tune for me?
You know the one you played,
On my guitar the night we met.
I swear it was the best I've ever heard.
If it keeps you here,
I'll sing you songs from freshman year.
Just don't you get emotional on me.
We can sing our favorite words
And yell three cheers to five years
And tell all your friends.
We're gonna take this to our graves.
Some songs just sound better when you sing.
I need you to keep singing songs about me.
