Circle

all the games that we played together
circling the sun
halfway between right or wrong
i know that's not okay
anyway sister get your gun
and let them know the feeling
slips away with a sleight of hand
you know it's not the same
with a simple recognition of the truth
that our love it really doesn't have a clue
saturdays that we could remember
i drank to keep a thirst
air raids from the balconies
i'm always falling first
would it leave me with an answer if you knew
how a simple recognition turns you loose?
if the money doesn't make you bolder,
you turn away as i get closer
no one's ever gonna come around
if i could replace the bad parts then i would
you would wonder how i ever even could
if this melody is slow arriving
guess that's just my sense of timing
and time is on my side
i wish you were

Picture

take a picture
it'll last until it goes
being honest
that's the best thing i've been told
that you're feeling so lonely
on the avenue
walkin' back the same way home
with the escalation blues
she's got a blacklist
that she carries like a rose
and those charcoal eyes
say babe that's how it goes
i've taken nothing
but forgotten all the same
what's the address?
where's this party? what's your name?
are you feeling so lonely?
on the avenue
walkin' back the same way home
with the escalation blues
it doesn't feel like a movie
it only feels like a shame
the image doesn't even hit my brain
you're saying we should get out of here
before we lose all the time
well on the street they're losing their sweet minds
sweet minds

Go out on Your Own
04:00
|

|
among the days before the rearview
the morning fades into a clear blue
i'd stay awake another day
i'd stay awake to see your face
before you go
go out on your own
a golden age has gone to rust
it overstayed and lost its trust
between the days the cracks would show
when sunlight stays the grass don't grow
so high, so exposed
go out on your own
go out on your own two feet
like you gotta make ends meet
walkin down that empty street
lookin like a full retreat
can't you see the highway signs?
doncha know you crossed that line?
go out on your own

Something True
03:58

couldn't think about the day
could've been a better way
to make some fun to spite the time
to make the best of my last dime
but i need something true
in the morning light
a moment i could've knew
couldn't be something true
every piece of it you take
breaks the window burns the place
rips the bandage open wide
wraps the world around your eyes
but i need something true
in the morning light
a moment i could've knew
couldn't be something true
and sometimes it hurts me still
and i know it always will
everything we suffered through
must've been for something true
but i need something true
in the morning light
a moment i could've knew
i can't see this all through
when i need something true

Ghost
02:29
|

you're a lonely ghost
and you're walking down the street with a promise
singin' sweet sweet songs
just to scrape away the jagged edge
and i can't say no
i just gotta keep my head above water
open up that door
and the river's gonna run me dry
but you can't float on
yes you gotta keep hangin' onto something
when the halo's gone
after going back taking my time
and i love your soul
but i gotta keep my head above water
open up that door
and the river's gonna run me dry
you're a lonely ghost
and you're walking down the street with a promise
singin' sweet sweet songs
just to scrape away the jagged edge
and i love your soul
but i gotta keep my head above water
open up that door
and the river's gonna run me dry

had a little dream and then it went away
couldn't remember what it was the next day
took a little trouble right up off my mind
i don't even think about the wasted time
had a conversation from a mile away
couldn't even tell you what i had to say
something bout how the days are gone too fast
i can never seem to make a good thing last
but i know that i washed it down
i let go and i watched you drown
now i gotta live it on down
thought of happiness as a guarantee
everybody's always tryna comfort me
spent an ice age tryna keep my cool
telling myself that i wasn't a fool
to know that i let you down
crossed the road and i walked it down
thought about turnin' around
tryna find my way back home
everybody wants to write a country song
everybody wonders why things went wrong
nowadays my saving graces keep in my head
i can't even think about a word you said
it's not a bad thing if it's done with grace
i can't even think about a word you say
used to dream the future from far away
now i only think about yesterday

Coming Clean
03:09

chelsea in the garden late last night
spins around and looks me in the eyes
with the dancers shakin' overheads in bloom
she cracks a smile and tells her secret too
all tied up in living all alone
and always talkin' bout it on the phone
if only life were in that magazine
a pretty thought it seems
too good to be true
but coming clean is something i won't do
now when the sun's gone down there's nothing left to say
and they're hangin' downtown when night turns into day
and an afterthought excuse took me away
maybe someday i'll be coming through
but coming clean is something i won't do
maybe on some other day
when summer's gone i'll rearrange
the pretty things that fade away
somewhere in the usa
i can't believe the things unsaid
the lengths i'd go to keep ahead
if the skyline's different it's okay
nothing's ever gonna change
when lately i've been doing what i know
and i don't have a ticket for the show
i just can't explain it's up to you
cause coming clean is something i won't do
coming clean
i'll tell you
