Waves 03:14
Sometimes you're an ocean Sometimes you're the sea Sometimes just a raindrop on the street Sometimes you're a river wide You're a waterfall Sometimes you're the deepest lake And I can't swim across And sometimes it hits me in waves Sometimes I get swept away Sometimes it hits me in waves And I'm drowning Because sometimes you just disappear Sometimes you're pouring down Sometimes you are quiet in the clouds But sometimes you are raging Sometimes you are the storm Sometimes you envelope me Sometimes you keep me warm And sometimes it hits me in waves Sometimes I get swept away Sometimes it hits me in waves And I'm drowning Because sometimes you are cold You are ice and you are snow I feel you in my bones again Sometimes you ebb and flow and then Sometimes it hits me in waves And sometimes it takes my breath away Sometimes it hits me in waves Sometimes I get swept away Sometimes it hits me in waves and I'm drowning Sometimes it hits me and I'm drowning

Baby 03:26
He met her smoking cigarettes in the men's room He liked her high heels, she like his tattoos She said she'd never been east of the west coast Couldn't stand all the palm trees and windows Called herself Baby Baby Growing up in a first world's worst dream Grace-giving, God-fearing, good family But when his hair grew long and his skin grew soft All they saw was all wrong Didn't see Baby Baby She took him walking down the streets of her hometown And she showed him how she makes her living now And he made her swear she'll break out Somehow And he thinks about her even now Wonder where she's been and how And if she's smoking cigarettes in the men's room He wants to show her his new tattoo It says "Baby" Baby Baby

Honest 03:44
My hands are shaking, my mouth is dry My thoughts are racing, my tongue is tied Your eyes are haunted, your voice is low Stoic and flawlessly in control You can be honest with me now I promise that I won't say a word Because your truth is buried deep below And all these secrets you carry just might overflow You can be honest with me now Promise that I won't say a word Because I have loved you all along (I have loved you all along) I'm all in even if it's all wrong It's all wrong You can be honest with me now Isn't it just what I deserve? But you're not even honest with yourself You never tell, I never learn

Alive 04:09
There's a man around the corner He's been asking me for change And I could use some Think I could use some, sometimes All these things slow me down Like the concrete that’s been sticking To the bottom of my shoes Soles worn and tired have started wearing through I can feel them, heavier now There's a hole here in my pocket It reminds me of the ways I am hungry And always running for an open door But on the highway heavyhearted Humming just to hear a sound Loneliness, it lingers through unfamiliar towns All of them stunning And none of them home And I don’t know if I live like this for peace of mind Can’t say if I do it for the foolish pride Or maybe it’s all just to prove that I’m alive I’m alive So I tell myself I'm brave And I swear that I'm bold But I'm afraid it isn't so Maybe I'm nothing more than alone Am I running just to run? Sometimes it seems running is all I've ever done But is there something more To settle for that I have given up? Does this fickle heart feel trapped in love? Is there something more to settle for Or have I just given up? Does my fickle heart still believe in love?

I'm sorry for the things I said I never meant to break you the way you broke In the distance, over bridges I hear you calling out through the smoke And I hold my breath while you choke I watched the cars crash in slow motion Didn't look away Should've seen what was coming You stopped running, but all I know is the chase I never learned how to stay The truth is I'm no good for you You probably know it by now But in case you don’t, or you maybe forgot Give me one more chance and I'll let you down And I hope that you find somebody to love It's what you deserve Someone to adore you more than you know And you know I'm not her All I can promise is the worst The truth is I'm no good for you You probably know it by now But in case you don’t, or you maybe forgot Give me one more chance and I'll let you down And I'll remember you drunk and crying The time you told me it felt like dying Because you knew that we Had only been lying to ourselves The truth is I'm no good for you And you should know it by now In case you don’t, or you maybe forgot Give me one more chance and I'll let you down

What's this condition? Some conviction? It's hard to tell Call it affliction or addiction Some call it hell You said there's something worth having Beyond this place And I believed you Guess I still do, so I drift away With whiskey and weed and the secrets I keep To help me forget who I am Needles in veins and cigarette stains I roll like a train down the track 'Cause when you're so far gone you don't come back Wanted to be good, and I thought I could But it's hard to change When I am restless and reckless As the sinners say And I swear I tried so hard I can't seem to stop I need satisfaction or distraction from what I'm not So it's whiskey and weed and the secrets I keep To help me forget who I am Needles in veins and cigarette stains I roll like a train down the track 'Cause when you're so far gone you don't come back Whiskey and weed and the secrets I keep Help me forget who I am Needles in veins and cigarette stains I roll like a train down the track (rolling down) 'Cause when so you're so far gone you don't come back (Rolling down) And I'm so far gone I can’t go back (rolling down) When so you're so far gone you don't come back

Sun Tomorrow 05:25
The coffee's ready if you'll have some And breakfast should be finished soon The paper called for sun tomorrow It looks like rain the whole day through Oooh ooh ooh ooh So what's that song you used to sing me? What's that dance we used to do? Is this house quiet or just empty? Do you hear the silence as loud as I do? Oooh ooh ooh ooh Oooh ooh ooh ooh You don't say it like you mean it And I don't mean it like I say The morning left us both defeated And it's just been one of those days So I'll have dinner on the table And you can help me pour the wine The paper called for sun tomorrow If we make through tonight Oooh ooh ooh ooh Oooh ooh ooh ooh
