- A Living Diary
We're only talking cause you lost someone close to you.
Without this entry you'd feel incomplete.
Come treat me like a living diary and just turn the page and walk away.
and it's true that I can feel this season in my bones
as New England fills with snow.
I find it hard to believe through everything I see
- always find me here
Eyes so strange,
Time goes by,
Watch you fall, again.
Hold you close,
Don't let go,
Hear my call, afraid.
- Asleep at the Wheel
I miss the breeze of the summer air
The sunlight against my skin
Do you remember it?
We all felt more alive
(You have to hold on)
Yesterday when the wax was burning
We tried to stay awake but we kept drifting off
- Bright Lights, Dark Shadows
Save me if I start to slide.
Believe me when I say goodnight.
Don't wake me tomorrow... don't come wake me come tomorrow.
Sway me to that simple life,
Don't tell me with those sleepless nights.
Don't wake me tomorrow... don't come wake me come tomorrow.
From these bright lights, and dark shadows...
- Cutting Corners
Just about ten drinks in
You stumble across the floor (to apologize again)
So you beg, steal, and borrow
And you hope that tomorrow you can take it back
So cross your fingers and dot the i's
Apologize
Fill in the blanks for all your lies
- Footwork
Keep focused on your footwork; your feet won't leave the ground.
but your head will hit the concrete to make a sick sad song.
Even sadder then writing this all down to a ghost
that doesn't care enough to haunt you, to want you.
It just keeps you around.
I always thought it was me.
- Hope This Finds You Well
You were walking down the dead end streets while I was chasing echoes.
Just trying to catch familiar voices.
But all I'm hearing is this:
"Your choices lead you down this road so if you're walking all alone"
Is that you, did you get lost, well I did too.
Did you get lost?
- I Think I Know You
Your words are words
The canvas is meaningless
Just say it like you mean it
Rewrite it, repeat it
I painted you a portrait
You said, "Get to the point, get to the point."
Let me call it as I see it
- I Told You So
You have to stop looking for the chorus in everything you've lost.
As if you orchestrate your failures to give yourself a crutch.
I drive by two streets a day with your last name,
And it's a cruel twist of fate how much we lose ourselves to find someone else.
We live in borrowed cars and sleep in rented homes.
That's why we try to keep each other, in fear we'll both die alone.
- I Was Going To Cross This Out
Leave the keys inside the mailbox.
I'll be by soon enough.
Too young to hold on, too old to just give up.
I'll be by soon enough.
(if you won't)
Change the locks and throw away those keys (don't bury me).
- I'm So Indie
Lyrics:
(Indie Girls Intro:)
Girl 1: Can you believe Transit? I mean I used to like him back when no one else did.
Girl 2: Ya, before he made a song with Jann Arden!
Girl 1: Jann's so un-indie! So many people know who she is!
Girl 2: And that Geeze guy, from Natural Ensemble, I heard that he's not even ever seen Amelie.
Girl 1: Shh! here they come!
- long lost friends
How long do you have to say that
This is not the person I used to know
You're not the person I used to know
So go on, go on
Go on
Because lately you've been looking at me like you've seen a ghost
- Nothing Lasts Forever
I drove through the front yard
I parked on the bridge
I saw the coastline like I never did
You know nothing lasts forever
No, nothing lasts forever
I thought that I blocked out December
Until I heard the news
- Our New Year
Just picture me on a train heading home at one a.m.
and I'll picture you're doing the same.
dressed up with somewhere else to be.
I hope he says that he loves you.
I hope you see it in his eyes.
I hope his shoulder is softer than mine.
I hope that he's better than me.
- Outbound
On an outbound train surrounded by strangers
I wonder just where they'll go.
As the world flies by right outside my window
I see the birds in the sky with nowhere else to be.
As our train car derails and rolls into the ocean
I'll be honest I wouldn't miss a thing about these
cold-hearted towns and the distance between
- Over Your Head
Hey kid, you're in over your head
Looked and you leapt
And now all that you get is gravity and pain
Like a movie I'm watching
My nails I am biting
And you are just fighting to stay awake
Now I just feel pathetic
- Photographic Memory
I learned to say these words long before I knew what they meant.
and I know you're good at keeping secrets
well I'm better at wearing them out for the world to see.
So take that old cracked photograph and tuck it away.
Well knowing you it takes most of the to get half of the truth.
- Please Head North
After tonight I just can't be alone
I'm driving home beneath the stoplights
They're holding me in suspense.
But that's just the way it is I guess
For those of us who move too fast
And I wish that I could say
That I'm wishing you the best
- Return Address
So many times I could of walked out not knowing if I'd be back again.
I guess kids like me know how to make an exit but we never really leave.
I was the last to see you, I left you standing all alone
but you didn't have to deal with the guilt that will plague my thoughts forever.
and you didn't have to look into here eyes
- Scrape And Claw
What a mess this is
I Clench my fists and lose my grip.
I 'm throwing the towel in.
I swear, I'm seeing red again.
Fighting on to survive.
Every inch feels like a mile.
I scrape and claw
Cut deep I'm bleeding out again
- Skipping Stone
I'm getting good at saying goodbye
But I've always been better at believing
That you're better off
Wherever you go, go with all your heart
Worn out and broken in like hand me downs
And every memory is like a skipping stone
You'll never understand how long it took the tides
- Stay Home
So many days and nights of my life escape.
It always fades away.
It always fades away with time.
(The color fades away. The color fades away.)
And it's this feeling that has me going nowhere, gaining nothing at all.
If anyone should find you staring up at the unending sky.
What if I was smiling and running into your arms?
(What would you say?)
- Weathered Souls
Do these streets
Remember your face
Will these bricks
Still carry the weight
For the dreams of your father are fading away
For dreams that your mother spent slaving away
For the weathered souls
