Waves

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

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

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?

One More Chance
04:13
|

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

Whiskey and Weed
03:27
|
|||
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
