1.Spacism
We couldn't say what we had all along
I could've died on the front of your lawn
The feeling I had, the feeling I missed when it ran itself away
Now that it's here, I don't think I'll be sticking around
another day
I had a fix, now I'm good, now I'm gone
And when it's done back to us we feel wrong
But I won't be another person's shoulder
You need somebody, call on a friend
We had our fun, I wanna run till I get old
And rest my head
You don't have to say it again, I'll come around
I'll be your friend
Did we need pass it on to feel better off in the end?
You'll know it someday, like I said
2.Athens
Call me a clean break, you told me
I smiled and thought if only, let's just dance 'til it's safe
I can't stay away from that smiling little girl
She hears music in her head and she's alive again
It's true, look west and it's you
I hear it all around me
You'll never be alone
Hide your hands away in a safe place
You're touching the messenger and making him wait
You've got a sparkle in your eye like a diamond, but fake
Just polished enough that it gets you away
It's true, look west and it's you.
I hear it all around me
You'll never be alone
Oh I'm with you, I'm alone tonight
3.Half Light
The weight is heavy, I know
I'm not ready to lift it, been better at letting it go
You're a big school kid with a heart drawn out like a map
My ideas are much smaller, my brain is scattered at best
I don't think there's anything left to know
I'm too tired tonight
And it goes, and goes, and goes
I saw you then, I looked right in your face
But you give me half light, the full thing I know it waits
I thought I'd see it in the sweet of the springtime
I thought I'd see you, somewhere down the line
But I don't
Oh no, I'm too tired tonight
And it goes, and goes, and goes
I'll remember you in the best of times
Your big school heart and a bottle of wine
You can treat me unkind tonight
But I won't let that leave my side
I'll think of you in the summertime
I'll be alright, I'll be happy tonight
4.Bumble Bee
Baby don't you call right away, I'll find you out
i've got nothing to lose, I'm too proud
Stick around for just now
All my minutes passing fster with a force
I don't want you but I don't want you to go away
I fill an old void,
Oh I can't change my mind
And I can't tell you which one you're gonna find
Come on now, I'll take you out to the bar
You'd rather stay inside?
I know that kind of time is hard to find
Stick around for just now till I figure out what I want you to
be
I don't need truth but I don't want you to lie to me
Now I can't get away, can't be a voice
I can't get away, I can't make a mind of yours
I fill an old void,
Oh I can't change my mind
And I can't tell you which one you're gonna find
I can't be sure, I can't be sure,
I can't tell you which one you're gonna find.
5.Losing A Friend
If you go calling anybody else
Make sure they value your smile
And hold on tight to you all of the time
I know I'm losing a friend
And I can't help it
Arizona is beautiful at night
I hope you see it from happier eyes
And the warmth it fills you up through your spine
You go on making new friends
It won't be hard for you, you know just what to do
When it comes to loving someone
6.Young Statues
I wanna take it back to as far as they would let me
I wanna climb inside and feel all the sun at my feet
I'll hide all my naivety, at least be sure to try
A statue I'll forever be, just promise you'll put out the fire
No I don't wanna wait
Did I start off on the wrong foot, to end up on the right track?
You might be useless, hey but, I'd like to play my hand out
I forged a war, you stated your love's not to admire
I can't be sure I'd hate it, if you would just put out the fire
If maybe I cared, then maybe I would be afraid
But I don't, and I won't
No I don't wanna wait
You wanna tell me where you've been, I know
I wanna hold you till you let go, or choke
7.We Trusted Everything Enough
Did it hurt you to leave it as it stands?
We all want happiness and love,
And we get sad when it doesn't come
But it's the holiday, Christmas makes everything fun
Oh, growing up we trusted everything enough
We raised enough to fly your mom and sisters in
It would have hurt too much to leave you where you'd been
What was running through your head?
Was it any of your friends?
I know you well enough to know
You would not forget
Oh, when we were young, we trusted everything enough
8.Keep It Dark
When you turned to face me I couldn't keep my hands from
drifting
Back to the places that I know
In the right way, we were cold
Leave it for the right day
We'll come back, laugh at our mess.
The song sounds just fine, it's running in time
And I don't think anyone is ready to stop singing tonight
I was replacing all of the truth, blaming our mood
You held no one high enough
I'll help you weather the mess of the flood
Leave it for the right day
We'll come back, laugh at our mess.
The song sounds just fine, it's running in time
And I don't think anyone is ready to stop singing tonight
Was it the right time, the right way, are you happy?
When you are feeling so foreign, it's time to leave.
9.Pretty Girls Make Raves
I'll hang you safely on the wall now
Don't be calling
Your voice, a let down
I waited up
I never knew if kids our age give enough
I was on the fence with all my loose ends
I could be your shiny new plan
You would think that I would stop to be fair
I don't care
I saw your sister at a concert
We drank water, I said my ears hurt
No one cares enough about a DJ
If there aren't any drugs
Maybe I was not a liar, sick of playing at normal hours
You would think that I would stop to be fair, I don't care
Time had been honest, but I don't wanna do it your way
If I had my own voice..
I'll be running, you won't have a choice
10.Your Seasons Stay The Same
Hey, thought of you today
Full of nothing but good things to say
You can call it a sin to feel this way again
But I won't live scared until the day that I'm dead
You'll be just as sad as you are, in a sunnier state
If I was away, I'd call in to say
The sun doesn't shine like it did in our days
But you went out seeking some new kind of meaning
Your body won't change if the seasons they all stay the same
11.Meet Me At The Hudson
Staring at the buildings, it makes me feel like I'm alive for a
while
I snuck outside for a cigarette and sat myself down on the pine
Hoping for a passerby
I'm not much of a talker, and I've never been
They say a city kid never survives without wit
So I'm testing my hand, I'm testing it with you
We don't know if that party will get out of hand tonight
But I know they've got money, so drugs they will be in our plans
For a while
But who knows after that, as a matter of fact
I don't wanna end up in the same place
I'll wake up in a bed with a person that I've never met
And feel better than this
I won't be around the way
I can't sit back without anything to say
I'm only one man alone, with my own little holes
And I wish I could say, I wanna be on my own
