Everytime I Fall
03:04
|
|||
lazy day drinkin with your best friend,
suicide hearts on the mend
still humming your favourite tune..
butterfly stickers on your underwear,
valentine ribbons in your dirty hair
looks like you hung the moon..
but I see your leavin, must have your reasons
I’ll wait for you to call..
just like the first time, and..
everytime I fall..
little bourbon kisses in the words you say,
gotta admit you got a certain way
of doing little things to me..
eating cold pasta at 2 am,
cuter than a button, sweeter than sin
with just a little A.D.D..
I see your leavin, must have your reasons
no matter how big or small..
just like the last time, and..
everytime I fall..
I see your leavin, but I still believe in
all these things that make me crawl..
until the next time, and..
everytime I fall..

Five For the Takin
02:34
|

there’s a knock on the door and
an anchor at your feet..
buckets of rain, falling on the street..
so broken hungover, I can’t even breathe
or try to get down..
overboard, and back again
to the same old place I’ve never been
butterflies and violins,
but lonely don’t make a sound..
I’m still around..
try and make it on cheese toast, and chocolate ice cream
old flannel shirts, bustin at the seams
a wall of sleep, and exploding dreams..
that never seem to let me down..
then I'm up all nite, and out of my head
with a list of all the stupid shit I said
better than never, or better off dead..
too lost to get found..
so lost, we can’t get found..
I’m still around
five for the takin..
I’m still around
hands barely shakin..
I'm still around..
I’m still around
five for the takin..
I’m still around
hands barely shakin..
I’m still around
five for the takin..
I’m still around..

More of Everything
02:57
|

my baby got tipsy down at the bar..
I drove her back home in my car..
she couldn’t remember the address..
she’s such a beautiful little mess..
turns the radio up too loud
she’s so strung out on this town..
hides behind me when we go out
can’t figure out what she’s talking about..
she wants more of everything
shiny buttons and silver rings
sad songs that make her sing
she wants more of everything..
says she’s my only girlfriend
forever now until the end..
and she never wants to be alone
reads to me over the phone..
sends me all her favourite songs
keeps me up all nite long..
helps me pick the right words to say
breaks up with me every other day..
she wants more of everything
botox and gold nose rings
pretty pictures in a magazine
she wants more of everything..
she wants more of everything
spray tans and so-cal dreams
cigarettes and benzadrine
she wants more of everything..
she wants more of everything
sushi bars and selfie queens
pool parties and backstage scenes
she wants more of everything..
she wants more of everything..
soft pillows and daiquiris
cotton candy and whipped cream
she wants more of everything..

well, lately..
I've been tryin to change,
but I never seem to get that far..
and, maybe..
you can burn it down like another little shooting star..
uptight..
holdin on forever, til the night keeps turning blue..
yeah I know, you still have your reasons
and you still believe them to be true..
you could tell me anything you wanted to..
I hope the world lasts for you..
now, baby..
this could be a drag, if it wasn’t easy to pretend..
and, lately..
I wish I could go back and do it all over again..
hold tight..
countin down the hours in a satellite built for two..
I know, you still have your dreams
and you only want ‘em to come true..
you could tell me anything you wanted to..
I hope the world lasts for you..
you could tell me anything you wanted to..
you could tell me anything you wanted to..
you could tell me anything..

Heels

riverside hangouts, clandestine makeouts..
cigarettes wet in the seams..
lipstick hotties, suicide totties..
burnin a hole in my jeans..
cooler than clever, down for whatever..
why can’t you say what you mean?..
‘cause I can see heartache in every breath they take
and every sad step in between..
I will wait for you
I will wait for you..
walkin around with some unholy sound,
breaking apart in my head..
thinking out loud, they’d be so proud..
and I would be better off dead..
you come along, like some weird ancient song..
buried deep inside me..
a sum of the past, a memory to last..
and everything in between..
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
beautiful and true..
I will wait for you..
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
beautiful and blue..
I will wait for you..

Sonnets
03:41
|
|||
holdin on forever,
til we fall together..
all we're killing is time..
like that paperback movie,
the one that always seems to move me..
I don't know why..
just like the dying embers,
of a late september sky..
so much more ahead for you,
than bottles turning blue..
and butterflies..
distant stars sleep alone,
while streetlights find a home..
I don't know why..
still I'm gonna wait forever.. (wait forever)..
'cause you know I know, everything there is to know..
about sonnets in the rain..
on the road with the radio, nowhere to go..
nothing to say..
just the words from your favourite songs,
we'll sing along..
they'll guide our way..
still I'm gonna wait forever..
'cause you know I know, everything there is to know..
about sonnets in the rain..
you know I know, everything we're letting go..
just sonnets.. in the rain..
and you know I'm right, if only for tonight..
to bring you back again..

One and Lonely
03:19
|
|||
super low, that’s where you’ll go
hiding secrets everyone knows..
find a pen at the back of the bar
but, these love letters won’t get you too far..
out of time, on this rocket ship
lately I’m so tired of all this..
nothing’s real or.. meant to last
and it’s catchin up with you so fast..
I wanna be your one and lonely
I wanna be your lost and found..
stealing time, with a ghost
but you were always cooler than most..
I can’t sleep, for these dreams
when everything is what it seems..
one more night, on this town
one more spark to burn it all back down..
lonely tears, on my shirt
come on baby, tell me where it hurts..
I wanna be your one and lonely
I wanna be your lost and found..
I wanna be your one and lonely
I wanna be your lost and found..
I wanna be with you only
get you high when you’re down..

now, I still see you there,
in your little blue chair
drawing pictures of those nites in nyc..
you’ll hum your favorite tune,
and I’ll join in soon
just to make sure it’s a little more off key..
keeping time with the rain
on dirty window panes
still waitin for your little light to shine..
madeline, so fine..
spread those pretty wings
tell me all those little things,
that you believe in..
running thru these days in the past
we swore would never last
and hope that somehow we would be forgiven..
but no writing on the wall,
no soft place to fall
just the chance that we might start livin..
madeline, it’s time..
to mend those broken wings
gather all those little things,
that you believe in..
you believe in..
madeline, it’s time..
to mend your little wings
remember all those pretty things
that you believe in..

Over You
02:30
|
|||
well, I tried so hard to get over you,
the hardest thing I’ll never do..
zip me up, dress me down tonite..
‘cause I want you here with me right now,
find a way to get back somehow..
every little thing will be alright..
sad eyes.. and goodbyes..
you can run around in circles,
but you’re never gonna catch that tail..
every time I thought about,
buying in or selling out..
you’re the one that brings me back again..
I met you at the Bottom Line,
where you said you would be mine..
I can’t remember where I’ve been..
yeah, I tried so hard to get over you..
the only thing still left to do..
sad eyes.. and goodbyes..
you can run around in circles, but you’re never gonna catch that tail..
sad eyes.. and pretty lies..
you can hold on forever, but you’re never gonna learn to fail..

three large sakes and some Shock Top beer
tryin to stay away from everyone in here
I came to drink, she keeps askin if I want some food..
a strip mall on a friday night
set ‘em up again til we get it right
sorry darlin, you know I didn’t mean to be rude..
it’s ok, it’s alright
this could take us all nite
buckle up, buy the ticket
take the ride..
catchin a buzz, and it’s sweet as sin
chipper’s on the phone talkin shit again
another round for this ringing in my head..
a bloody mary and a glass of rye
laughin at the pretty people passing by
better make it a dirty martini instead..
it’s ok, it’s alright
this could take me all nite
buckle up, buy the ticket
take the ride..
2am and there’s a cover band
a double gin and tonic in my right hand
Free Bird again, I think I’m gonna scream..
it’s ok, it’s alright
this could take us all nite
buckle up, buy the ticket
take the ride..
it’s ok, it’s alright
outta mind, outta site..
