No Last Call
07:23
|
|||
A long trip, not to heaven, not to hell.
I close eyes.
I close my eyes when you’re watching.
I close my eyes when you’re here.
And you’re not in love.
What you wanted, you already had.
And I have seen.
And there is no last call.
You see right through me.
And you were gone,
When I gave up the ghost.
You were gone,
When I gave up the ghost.
You were gone
When I gave up.

Anyone
04:25
|
|||
Muddied waters. Forgotten desires.
It’s only midnight, when you call out to me.
You could have been anyone,
and my hands have turned to dust.
I will not stop to see you
I will not stop to take you on
You know I’d like to hold you,
but I’d give myself away.
I had you in my sights,
I welcomed the end of days.
And when I went out,
I’d do anything at all.

Hurt
05:10
|
|||
I've been hiding.
I've been cutting my way at it,
With a dull blade in an empty room.
I know where I stop.
I know where you begin.
But where is my rage?
Cuz nobody loves you.
And I won't pray for you.
But I will beg you
And I want it to hurt.
Half drunk and not alone.
I can't stand my own company.
And me, I am on fire.
And you cannot hold me.

Two Years
04:54
|
|||
I'm dressed up like before,
Like before I lost it all.
I'm caught up in the night before,
I've been caught up for years.
And we know what only drunkards know.
We've gone where only drunkards go.
And I've been gone for too long,
Two years I've been away.
You said it's time to come down,
And everything is better when you're around.
There may be time for hesitation,
Though you know I hate to stop.
It's springtime when you're here,
Though I know you love the cold and chill of winter.

Right Lie
05:24
|
|||
I drink 'til I can't
See between the lines.
You didn't want me.
I didn't want you.
We forget love is hard,
Love is hard to come by.
The right lie at last
And you wake up not alone
I pray for nothing.
I pray to no one.
When I've gone cold,
Take me home.
When I've grown cold,
Set me on fire.

Waiting For You
04:45
|
|||
You say you can't go back there,
But you've been nowhere.
I will not dance.
I will sink very slowly.
Did I cross my heart?
Did I hope he'd go?
I have been waiting for you.
If I can't do it right,
I'll do nothing at all.
When day breaks,
I don't know.
When day dawns,
I don't know.
We've heard it all before.
We played the wrong hand.
We feel nothing.
I know who you are.
You are broken.
And I'm afraid
I am who I thought I was.
I won't come up for air.

Burn Out
04:43
|
|||
Bruised and battered from the night before,
A night we won't recall.
Eyes burning and we don't sleep.
We don't dream.
Drunken nights turn to drunken days,
And I can't see the road ahead.
All it ever brought me
Was bad dreams and bad company.
I believe in love.
I believe in nothing at all.
It made me think about us.

In the City
04:34
|
|||
I am America,
You are free.
I hear your voice in dreams.
You are kind and you are cruel.
You speak to me.
I won't speak to you.
A cold, dark gathering of memories,
The morning I wake.
I was born again
In this city
You're mining your dreams,
Prepared for your last days.
Hold steady

Walk Don't Run
04:57
|
|||
You tear it, you watch it heal.
I am so close I cannot see.
This time you must admit I’m right,
I am living it down.
You don’t have to make love last.
I won’t reach for you now.
It’s in the company we keep,
This bridge will not hold.
You walk when you should be running
You tread in a shallow pool,
You thought it was the deep ocean.
The waves still crash over me,
They still crash over me.

I Believe in You
05:57
|
|||
Now that you found yourself losing your mind
Are you here again?
Finding that what you once thought was real
Is gone, and changing?
Now that you made yourself love me
Do you think I can change it in a day?
How can I place you above me?
Am I lying to you when I say
That I believe in you
I believe in you.
Coming to you at night I see my questions
I feel my doubts
Wishing that maybe in a year or two
We could laugh and let it all out
Now that you made yourself love me
Do you think I can change it in a day?
How can I place you above me?
Am I lying to you when I say
That I believe in you
I believe in you.
