Rockslide
02:41
|

You used me like a stepping stone on your climb
And you moved on in a single breath
To greater heights
You didn’t look back once
To see the damage you left behind
When you used me like a stepping stone
And started a rockslide
How long will I bear the weight that you’ve left?
How long will it take before I catch my breath?
‘Cause I’m a long way down from where I was
In the rubble of what you called love
But you used me like a stepping stone on your climb
And you moved on in a single breath
To greater heights
You didn’t look back once
To see the damage you left behind
When you used me like a stepping stone
And started a rockslide
You started a rockslide
Started a rockslide

If this is rock bottom at least I have a place to rest
Here at rock bottom where I don’t have nothing left
I’m gonna lay here a while and wait until the sky goes dark
Then I’ll feel around for what’s left of that old heart
That I gave away
I gave it away
If this is rock bottom at least I’m on solid ground
There’s nowhere left to fall when you’re already so far down
And there’s a million things lost that’ll never be found
Like the ropes I know I left myself so I could climb out
But they’ve gone away
Why’d you take them away
And tell me how’s the view from where you are
‘Cause you stood up on my shoulders trying to catch that star
And it flew you to some universe where I don’t know who you are
You forgot it was your turn to pull me up out of the dark
And you just ran away
I’m glad you got away
From rock bottom
Oh, I’m here at rock bottom

New World
04:57
|

When I went to sleep I knew you loved me
I woke up in a new world
In my dreams I saw what was coming
I felt the way the truth hurt
But I don’t get it
You tell me you think I’ve changed
Was that unexpected
Did you think I’d have it all figured out at my age
I fell asleep in my twenties
And woke up in a new world
A little smarter with my money
And everything to learn
And I’m not sorry
In the ways I used to be
‘Cause why be sorry
For what anybody thinks about me
But when I went to sleep I knew you loved me
I woke up in a new world
And it’s all a little funny
I thought you were my future
But you don’t get it
You call my point of view
Have I not said it
Honey, the whole world can see it too
But did you really say, did you really say
Thought I heard you say
(It changes nothing)
Did you really say, did you really say
Swear I heard you say
(It changes nothing)
Did you really say, did you really say
Thought I heard you say
(It changes nothing)
Tell me it’s okay, tell me we’re okay
Tell me that you’ll stay
(But it changes something)
‘Cause when I went to sleep you loved me
When I went to sleep you loved me
I woke up in a new world
(I saw what was coming)
(I saw what was coming)
(I saw what was coming)
When I went to sleep (I saw what was coming)
(I saw what was coming)
You loved me (I saw what was coming)
(I saw what was coming)
You loved me (I saw what was coming)
(I saw what was coming)
A new world

Sleeping In
04:08
|
|||
|
I put a Christmas tree up in my living room
‘Cause it helps to make believe there’s something
I’m looking forward to
And I’ve re-read the scriptures of better days yet to come
But I don’t believe them the way that my mother does
And I’ve been sleeping in again
I don’t know how long it’s been
I can’t tell you the day of the week or what month it is
‘Cause I’m sleeping in again
I told the world I was somebody stronger than this
It’s funny how being so low shows you how high you’ve been
And I am not the person I thought that I was in my head
But it’s hard to be anyone when you can’t get out of bed
And I’ve been sleeping in again
I don’t know how long it’s been
I can’t tell you the day of the week or what month it is
‘Cause I’m sleeping in again
But maybe next year I’ll be just fine
Maybe next year I’ll go outside
Maybe next year I won’t always be so tired
But right now
I’m sleeping in
‘Cause it makes no difference
There’s a whole world just waiting
If I could get out of bed
But I won’t see it
‘Cause I’m sleeping in again

Find Less
04:44
|
|||
|
Maybe it was naive, letting myself believe
I was your long lost missing piece
You told me to be myself when you knew full well
You wanted something else from me
But your love wasn’t big enough
Not for the both of us
So I hope you find less
That’s what you wanted
You asked for my best
And darling you got it
I hope you find less
I’ve always been a lot, and I won’t pretend I’m not
I thought that you liked that about me
But you taught me to keep it in, the parts of me that offend
While you take up space with so much ease
And I learned to make myself smaller
Just so you might look a little bit taller
I hope you find less
Cause that’s what you wanted
You asked for my best
And darling you got it
You saw what I was and said it’s too much
So I hope you find less
Hope you find less
And I wish I was bigger than this
Bigger than you, bigger than
All the walls that you’ve built around us
But I’ll just wish you well
Cause I’m big enough
To hope you find less
Less
Less
I hope you find less
Cause that’s what you wanted
You asked for my best
And darling you got it
You took all that I was to build yourself up
You let me fall in love and you said it’s too much
So I hope you find less

This House
03:25
|
|||
|
Please try to keep the plants alive
And turn off all the lights
Leave your key in the mailbox when you lock up for the last time
I know the timing’s not the best
I thought that maybe that we could fix
What was broken between us the way we did
To this house
This house
Please take the ring before you pack
I know you said that you don’t want it back
But I can’t stand to find it years from now in a box in the attic
Of this house
Not in this house
And we thought that maybe if we patched the roof
And paint the walls, put down new floors
And hang pictures, plant a garden of our own
We’d build a home
But the foundation cracked just like old bones
And we couldn’t fix all that was broken
Inside this house
This house
I couldn’t keep the plants alive
And I leave on the lights
And your key’s in the mailbox in case you change your mind
About this house
This house

Monster
02:57
|
|||
|
I wish you were the person
Your mother thinks you are
But I have witnessed every version
I know the depth of your dark
And you are not a monster
You don’t hide beneath my bed
You are just a fragile man
And there’s nothing scarier than that
I wish that I believed you
When you tell me that I’m safe
I don’t know when it happened
But I became afraid
‘Cause you are not a monster
Like the stories in my head
But you know how to ruin me
And that’s what scares me to death
You’re scaring me to death
You’re scaring me
(You’re scaring me)
And I wish you were the person
I told the world you are
But I have peered behind the curtain
I know the depth of your dark

Currency
03:56
|

|
If I had a dollar for the times I said
I’ve got nothing left to give
I’d be sleeping on piles in a king sized bed
Of the money you owe me
You know you owe me
If I had a backbone I’d stand up
Every time you told me I was not enough
But I spend my days picking pieces up
From how you broke me
You know you broke me
And you trade away what I gave for free
Like love’s a currency
If I had a dime for the times I fell
For every lie you told yourself
I’d be spending my fortune on wishing wells
Waiting for what you sold me
‘Cause you still owe me
But you trade away what I gave for free
Your love like currency
And it’s not a fair trade
The deals that you made
But I have always bought those lines
For all you stole I paid that price
But if I had a dollar for the times I said
I think I’m worth more than this
Well I’d have one dollar to make my bets
I’d put it all on me
I’m finally betting on me
‘Cause I can’t trade what I gave for free
My love’s not currency

The Boat
03:32
|
|||
|
I was a boat, drifting at sea
Longing for shores that I’d never seen
And there was a storm that capsized me
Led me to land, just in your reach
And you were a rope, fast to the ground
Ready to hold anything down
So we tied the knots onto the bow
And we made a pact, we made a vow
We could stay here tethered to land
No letting go, no looking back
But days turned to years, rocks turned to sand
And suddenly I was turning with them
And ever so slight, you started to fray
And I felt the tide pull me away
And somewhere between the crashing of waves
I was set free, and I saw you break
'Cause I was a boat, meant for the sea
Tied to a shore that I’m scared to leave
But I need the space, I need the sky
I need to chase horizon lines
I had to set sail to see what I’d find
To prove that I can, I’ll leave you behind
Now I’m just a boat, drifting at sea
Missing the rope that used to hold me
But I am a boat, that’s all I’ll be
I am a boat, I’m just a boat

Home Here
04:52
|
|||
|
There’s a stain on the ceiling
It gets bigger when it rains
And sometimes I get the feeling
Maybe I made a mistake
There’s a moment in the morning
When the sun lands on the walls
Alarm clock ticking out its warning
Telling me I didn’t sleep at all
‘Cause I have never been home here
I have never been home
There are boxes neatly labeled
That remain unopened still
And countless pieces to a table
I never find the time to build
‘Cause I have never been home here
I have never been home
Anywhere at all
Anywhere at all
I thought this place could fix me
Or teach me how to stick around
I’m finding out it’s not so easy
Sometimes a house is just house
And I have never been home here
I have never been home anywhere
And I have never been home here
I have never been home here (sometimes a house is just a house)
I’ve never been home here (sometimes a house is just a house)
I’ve never been home here (sometimes a house is just a house)
I’ve never been home (sometimes a house is just a house)
Anywhere at all

Neither Do I
03:59
|
|||
|
I can’t tell you why I’m calling
I know it’s been a long, long time
The weather’s fine here, thanks for asking
To be honest a little sun would be nice
I heard that you moved to the west coast
Just like we used to talk about
Seems like we were only kids then
Tell me, how many years is it now
And do you ever think about us
Or wonder from time to time
Where it all went wrong, or what we might have been
Neither do I
I saw your face up on a billboard
It’s good to know you’re doing well
We used to laugh about those big lights
And the souls we wouldn’t sell
And me, I’m working ‘cross the country
Playing shows and paying dues
It’s not a lot, but it’s something
I never could keep up with you
But have you ever seen a face there
In the crowd that reminds you of mine
And for a moment you almost wish it were
No, neither do I
But ain’t it strange
How time and people change
The same way that they don’t
It’s the same way that you won’t
I’m sorry, I don’t mean to keep you
Please tell your family I said hi
It’s been nice catching up, do you want to stay in touch
Neither do I
