1989_Booklet_ | 1989 |
the drought was the very worst ohoh ohoh
when the flowers that wed grown together died of thirst
it was months and months of back and forth ohoh ohoh
youre still all over me
like a winestained dress i cant wear anymore
hung my head as i lost the war
and the sky turned black like a perfect storm
rain came pouring down
when i was drowning thats when i could finally breathe
and by morning
gone was any trace of you i think i am finally clean
oh oh oh oh
there was nothing left to do ohoh ohoh
when the butterflies turned to
dust that covered my whole room
so i punched a hole in the roof ohoh ohoh
let the flood carry away all my pictures of you
the water filled my lungs i screamed so loud
but no one heard a thing
rain came pouring down
when i was drowning thats when i could finally breathe
and by morning
gone was any trace of you i think i am finally clean
oh oh oh oh
i think i am finally clean
oh oh
oh oh oh oh ohoh
said i think i am finally clean
oh oh
oh oh oh oh ohoh
you might also like
ten months sober i must admit
just because youre clean dont mean you dont miss it
ten months older i wont give in
now that im clean im never gonna risk it
the drought was the very worst ohoh ohoh
when the flowers that wed grown together died of thirst
oh
the rain came pouring down
when i was drowning thats when i could finally breathe
and by morning
gone was any trace of you i think i am finally clean
rain came pouring down
when i was drowning thats when i could finally breathe
and by morning
gone was any trace of you i think i am finally clean
oh oh
finally clean
think im finally clean
oh oh
ohoh ohoh
oh oh oh

you stand with your hand on my waistline
its a scene and were out here in plain sight
i can hear them whisper as we pass by
its a bad sign bad sign
something happens when everybody finds out
see the vultures circling dark clouds
loves a fragile little flame it could burn out
it could burn out
cause they got the cages they got the boxes and guns
they are the hunters we are the foxes and we run
baby i know places we wont be found
and theyll be chasing their tails trying to track us down
cause i i know places we can hide
i know places i know places
lights flash and well run for the fences
let them say what they want we wont hear it
loose lips sink ships all the damn time
not this time
just grab my hand and dont ever drop it my love
they are the hunters we are the foxes and we run
baby i know places we wont be found
and theyll be chasing their tails trying to track us down

he said lets get out of this town
drive out of the city away from the crowds

but this is gonna take me down
hes so tall and handsome as hell
hes so bad but he does it so well
i can see the end as it begins
my one condition is

standin in a nice dress
starin at the sunset babe
red lips and rosy cheeks
say youll see me again
even if its just in your
wildest dreams ah ha
wildest dreams ah ha
i said no one has to know what we do
his hands are in my hair his clothes are in my room
and his voice is a familiar sound
nothin lasts forever
but this is gettin good now

i walked through the door with you the air was cold
but somethin bout it felt like home somehow
and i left my scarf there at your sisters house
and youve still got it in your drawer even now
oh your sweet disposition and my wideeyed gaze
were singin in the car getting lost upstate
autumn leaves fallin down like pieces into place
and i can picture it after all these days
and i know its long gone and
that magics not here no more
and i might be okay but im not fine at all
oh oh oh
caus there we ar again on that little town street
you almost ran the red cause you were lookin over at me
wind in my hair i was there
i remember it all too well
photo album on the counter your cheeks were turnin red
you used to be a little kid with glasses in a twinsized bed
and your mothers tellin stories bout you on the teeball team
you taught me bout your past thinkin your future was me
and you were tossing me the car keys fuck the patriarchy
keychain on the ground we were always skippin town
and i was thinkin on the drive down any time now
hes gonna say its love you never called it what it was
til we were dead and gone and buried
check the pulse and come back swearin its the same
after three months in the grave
and then you wondered where it went to as i reached for you
but all i felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame
you might also like
and i know its long gone and
there was nothing else i could do
and i forget about you long enough
to forget why i needed to
cause there we are again in the middle of the night
were dancin round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
down the stairs i was there
i remember it all too well
and there we are again when nobody had to know
you kept me like a secret but i kept you like an oath
sacred prayer and wed swear
to remember it all too well yeah
well maybe we got lost in translation maybe i asked for too much
but maybe this thing was a masterpiece til you tore it all up
runnin scared i was there
i remember it all too well
and you call me up again just to break me like a promise
so casually cruel in the name of bein honest
im a crumpledup piece of paper lyin here
cause i remember it all all all
they say alls well that ends well but im in a new hell
every time you doublecross my mind
you said if we had been closer in age maybe it wouldve been fine
and that made me want to die
the idea you had of me who was she
a neverneedy everlovely jewel whose shine reflects on you
not weepin in a party bathroom
some actress askin me what happened you
thats what happened you
you who charmed my dad with selfeffacing jokes
sippin coffee like youre on a latenight show
but then he watched me watch the front door all night willin you to come
and he said its supposed to be fun turning twentyone
time wont fly its like im paralyzed by it
id like to be my old self again but im still tryin to find it
after plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
now you mail back my things and i walk home alone
but you keep my old scarf from that very first week
cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
you cant get rid of it
cause you remember it all too well yeah
cause there we are again when i loved you so
back before you lost the one real thing youve ever known
it was rare i was there
i remember it all too well
wind in my hair you were there
you remember it all
down the stairs you were there
you remember it all
it was rare i was there
i remember it all too well
and i was never good at tellin jokes but the punch line goes
ill get older but your lovers stay my age
from when your brooklyn broke my skin and bones
im a soldier whos returning half her weight
and did the twin flame bruise paint you blue
just between us did the love affair maim you too
cause in this citys barren cold
i still remember the first fall of snow
and how it glistened as it fell
i remember it all too well
just between us did the love affair maim you all too well
just between us do you remember it all too well
just between us i remember it all too well just between us
they say alls well that ends well but im in a new hell
every time you doublecross my mind
you said if we had been closer in age maybe it wouldve been fine
and that made me want to die
the idea you had of me who was she
a neverneedy everlovely jewel whose shine reflects on you
not weepin in a party bathroom
some actress askin me what happened you
thats what happened you
you who charmed my dad with selfeffacing jokes
sippin coffee like youre on a latenight show
but then he watched me watch the front door all night willin you to come
and he said its supposed to be fun turning twentyone

down the stairs i was there i was there

i have this thing where i get older but just never wiser
midnights become my afternoons
when my depression works the graveyard shift all of the people
ive ghosted stand there in the room
i should not be left to my own devices
they come with prices and vices
i end up in crisis
tale as old as time
i wake up screaming from dreaming
one day ill watch as youre leaving
cause you got tired of my scheming
for the last time

ill stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
it must be exhausting always rooting for the antihero
sometimes i feel like everybody is a sexy baby
and im a monster on the hill
too big to hang out slowly lurching toward your favorite city
pierced through the heart but never killed
did you hear my covert narcissism i disguise as altruism

lost i was born lonesome i came
lonesome ill always stay
carolina knows why for years i roam
free as these birds light as whispers
carolina knows
and you didnt see me here
no they never did see me here
and shes in my dreams
into the mist into the clouds

i make a fist ill make it count
and there are places i will never ever go
and things that only carolina will ever know
carolina stains on the dress she left
indelible scars pivotal marks
blue as the life she fled
carolina pines wont you cover me
hide me like robes down the back road
muddy these webs we weave
and you didnt see me here

champagneproblems | Evermore |
you booked the night train for a reason
so you could sit there in this hurt
bustling crowds or silent sleepers
youre not sure which is worse
because i dropped your hand while dancing
left you out there standing
crestfallen on the landing
champagne problems
your moms ring in your pocket
my picture in your wallet
your heart was glass i dropped it
champagne problems
you told your family for a reason
you couldnt keep it in
your sister splashed out on the bottle
now no ones celebrating
dom prignon you brought it
no crowd of friends applauded
your hometown skeptics called it
champagne problems
you had a speech youre speechless
love slipped beyond your reaches
and i couldnt give a reason
champagne problems

november flush and your flannel cure
this dorm was once a madhouse
i made a joke well its made for me
how evergreen our group of friends
dont think well say that word again
and soon theyll have the nerve to deck the halls
that we once walked through
one for the money two for the show
i never was ready so i watch you go
sometimes you just dont know the answer
til someones on their knees and asks you
she wouldve made such a lovely bride
what a shame shes fucked in the head they said
but youll find the real thing instead
shell patch up your tapestry that i shred
and hold your hand while dancing
never leave you standing
crestfallen on the landing
with champagne problems
your moms ring in your pocket
her picture in your wallet
you wont remember all my
champagne problems
you wont remember all my
champagne problems |

coneyisland | Evermore |
break my soul in two looking for you
but youre right here
if i cant relate to you anymore
then who am i related to
and if this is the long haul
howd we get here so soon
did i close my fist around something delicate
did i shatter you
and im sitting on a bench in coney island
wondering where did my baby go
the fast times the bright lights the merry go
sorry for not making you my centerfold
over and over
lost again with no surprises
disappointments close your eyes
and it gets colder and colder
when the sun goes down
the question pounds my head
whats a lifetime of achievement
if i pushed you to the edge
but you were too polite to leave me
and do you miss the rogue
who coaxed you into paradise and left you there
will you forgive my soul
when youre too wise to trust me and too old to care
you might also like
cause we were like the mall before the internet
it was the one place to be
the mischief the giftwrapped suburban dreams
sorry for not winning you an arcade ring
over and over
lost again with no surprises
disappointments close your eyes
and it gets colder and colder
when the sun goes down
were you waiting at our old spot
in the tree line
by the gold clock
did i leave you hanging every single day
were you standing in the hallway
with a big cake happy birthday
did i paint your bluest skies the darkest grey
a universe away
and when i got into the accident
the sight that flashed before me was your face
but when i walked up to the podium i think that i forgot to say your name
im on a bench in coney island
wondering where did my baby go
the fast times the bright lights the merry go
sorry for not making you my centerfold
over and over
lost again with no surprises
disappointments close your eyes
and it gets colder and colder
when the sun goes down
when the sun goes down
the sight that flashed before me was your face
when the sun goes down
but i think that i forgot to say your name
over and over
sorry for not making you my making you my

gray november
ive been down since july
motion capture
put me in a bad light
i replay my footsteps on each stepping stone
trying to find the one where i went wrong
writing letters
addressed to the fire
and i was catching my breath
staring out an open window
catching my death
and i couldnt be sure
i had a feeling so peculiar
that this pain would be for
evermore
hey december
guess im feeling unmoored
cant remember
what i used to fight for
i rewind th tape but all it does is pause
on th very moment all was lost
sending signals
to be doublecrossed
you might also like
and i was catching my breath
barefoot in the wildest winter
catching my death
and i couldnt be sure
i had a feeling so peculiar
that this pain would be for
evermore
evermore
cant not think of all the cost
and the things that will be lost
oh can we just get a pause
to be certain well be tall again
whether weather be the frost
or the violence of the dog days
im on waves out being tossed
is there a line that i could just go cross
and when i was shipwrecked cant think of all the cost now
i thought of you all the things that will be lost now
in the cracks of light can we just get a pause
i dreamed of you to be certain well be tall again
if you think of all the costs
it was real enough whether weather be the frost
to get me through or the violence of the dog days
or the violence of the dog days
out on waves being tossed
im on waves out being tossed
but i swear is there a line that we can just go cross
you were there
and i was catching my breath
floors of a cabin creaking under my step
and i couldnt be sure
i had a feeling so peculiar
this pain wouldnt be for
evermore
evermore

this pain wouldnt be for evermore

goldrush | Evermore |
gleaming twinkling
eyes like sinking ships on waters
so inviting i almost jump in
but i dont like a gold rush gold rush
i dont like anticipatin my face in a red flush
i dont like that anyone would die to feel your touch
everybody wants you
everybody wonders what it would be like to love you
walk past quick brush
i dont like slow motion double vision in rose blush
i dont like that falling feels like flying til the bone crush
everybody wants you
but i dont like a gold rush
what must it be like to grow up that beautiful
with your hair falling into place like dominoes
i see me padding across your wooden floors
with my eagles tshirt hanging from the door
at dinner parties i call you out on your contrarian shit
and the coastal town we wandered round had nver seen a love as pure as it
and thn it fades into the gray of my dayold tea
cause it could never be

my mind turns your life into folklore
i cant dare to dream about you anymore
at dinner parties i wont call you out on your contrarian shit
and the coastal town we never found will never see a love as pure as it
cause it fades into the gray of my dayold tea
cause it will never be

happiness | Evermore |
honey when im above the trees
i see this for what it is
but now im right down in it all the years ive given
is just shit were dividin up
showed you all of my hiding spots
i was dancing when the music stopped
and in the disbelief i cant face reinvention
i havent met the new me yet
therell be happiness after you
but there was happiness because of you
both of these things can be true
there is happiness
past the blood and bruise
past the curses and cries
beyond the terror in the nightfall
haunted by the look in my eyes
that wouldve loved you for a lifetime
leave it all behind
and there is happiness
tell me when did your winning smile
begin to look like a smirk
when did all our lessons start to look like weapons
pointed at my deepest hurt
i hope shell be a beautiful fool
who takes my spot next to you
no i didnt mean that
sorry i cant see facts through all of my fury
you havent met the new me yet
you might also like
therell be happiness after me
but there was happiness because of me
both of these things i believe
there is happiness
in our history across our great divide
there is a glorious sunrise
dappled with the flickers of light
from the dress i wore at midnight leave it all behind
and there is happiness
i cant make it go away by making you a villain
i guess its the price i paid for seven years in heaven
and i pulled your body into mine
every goddamn night now i get fake niceties
no one teaches you what to do
when a good man hurts you
and you know you hurt him too
honey when im above the trees
i see it for what it is
but now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow where you used to lay your head
after giving you the best i had
tell me what to give after that
all you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness
you havent met the new me yet
and i think shell give you that
therell be happiness after you
but there was happiness because of you too
both of these things can be true
there is happiness
in our history across our great divide
there is a glorious sunrise
dappled with the flickers of light
from the dress i wore at midnight leave it all behind
oh leave it all behind
leave it all behind
and there is happiness |

clung to the nearest lips
long story short it was the wrong guy
now im all about you

missing me
at the golden gates they once held the keys to
when i dropped my sword

and we live in peace

rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife
and if it was an openshut case

wherever you stray i follow
im begging for you to take my hand
wreck my plans thats my man
life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
head on the pillow i could feel you sneakin in
as if you were a mythical thing
like you were a trophy or a champion ring
and there was one prize id cheat to win

you booked the night train for a reason
so you could sit there in this hurt
bustling crowds or silent sleepers
youre not sure which is worse
because i dropped your hand while dancing
left you out there standing
crestfallen on the landing
champagne problems
your moms ring in your pocket
my picture in your wallet
your heart was glass i dropped it
champagne problems
you told your family for a reason
you couldnt keep it in
your sister splashed out on the bottle
now no ones celebrating
dom prignon you brought it
no crowd of friends applauded
your hometown skeptics called it
champagne problems
you had a speech youre speechless
love slipped beyond your reaches
and i couldnt give a reason
champagne problems
your midas touch on the chevy door
november flush and your flannel cure
this dorm was once a madhouse
i made a joke well its made for me
how evergreen our group of friends
dont think well say that word again
and soon theyll have the nerve to deck the halls
that we once walked through
one for the money two for the show
i never was ready so i watch you go
sometimes you just dont know the answer
til someones on their knees and asks you
she wouldve made such a lovely bride
what a shame shes fucked in the head they said
but youll find the real thing instead
shell patch up your tapestry that i shred

never leave you standing
crestfallen on the landing

break my soul in two looking for you
but youre right here
if i cant relate to you anymore
then who am i related to
and if this is the long haul
howd we get here so soon
did i close my fist around something delicate
did i shatter you
and im sitting on a bench in coney island
wondering where did my baby go
the fast times the bright lights the merry go
sorry for not making you my centerfold
over and over
lost again with no surprises
disappointments close your eyes
and it gets colder and colder
when the sun goes down
the question pounds my head
whats a lifetime of achievement
if i pushed you to the edge
but you were too polite to leave me
and do you miss the rogue
who coaxed you into paradise and left you there
will you forgive my soul
when youre too wise to trust me and too old to care
cause we were like the mall before the internet
it was the one place to be
the mischief the giftwrapped suburban dreams
sorry for not winning you an arcade ring
over and over
lost again with no surprises
disappointments close your eyes

and when i got into the accident
the sight that flashed before me was your face
but when i walked up to the podium i think that i forgot to say your name
im on a bench in coney island

ive been down since july
motion capture
put me in a bad light
i replay my footsteps on each stepping stone
trying to find the one where i went wrong
writing letters
addressed to the fire
and i was catching my breath
staring out an open window
catching my death
and i couldnt be sure
i had a feeling so peculiar
that this pain would be for
evermore
hey december
guess im feeling unmoored
cant remember
what i used to fight for
i rewind th tape but all it does is pause
on th very moment all was lost
sending signals
to be doublecrossed
and i was catching my breath
barefoot in the wildest winter
catching my death
and i couldnt be sure
i had a feeling so peculiar
that this pain would be for
evermore
evermore
cant not think of all the cost
and the things that will be lost
oh can we just get a pause
to be certain well be tall again
whether weather be the frost
or the violence of the dog days
im on waves out being tossed
is there a line that i could just go cross
and when i was shipwrecked cant think of all the cost now
i thought of you all the things that will be lost now
in the cracks of light can we just get a pause
i dreamed of you to be certain well be tall again
if you think of all the costs
it was real enough whether weather be the frost
to get me through or the violence of the dog days
or the violence of the dog days
out on waves being tossed
im on waves out being tossed
but i swear is there a line that we can just go cross
you were there

when the dinner is cold and the chatter gets old
you ask for the tab
or that moment again hes insisting that friends
look at each other like that
when the words of a sister come back in whispers
that prove she was not in fact what she seemed
not a twin from your dreams
shes a crook who was caught
that old familiar body ache
the snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
you know when its time to go
twenty years at your job
then the son of the boss gets the spot that was yours
or trying to stay for the kids
when keeping it how it is will only break their hearts worse
that old familiar body ache
the snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
you know when its time to go
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
fifteen years fifteen million tears
begging til my knees bled
i gave it my all he gave me nothing at all
then wondered why i left
now he sits on his throne in his palace of bones
praying to his greed
hes got my past frozen behind glass
but ive got me
you might also like
that old familiar body ache
the snaps from the same little breaks in my soul
i know when its time to go

sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing

sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
that will find you the right thing
and you know in your soul
you know in your soul
when its time to go
you know you know you know you know
when its time to go
so then you go

and in the disbelief i cant face reinvention
i havent met the new me yet
therell be happiness after you
but there was happiness because of you
both of these things can be true
there is happiness
past the blood and bruise
past the curses and cries
beyond the terror in the nightfall
haunted by the look in my eyes
that wouldve loved you for a lifetime
leave it all behind
and there is happiness
tell me when did your winning smile
begin to look like a smirk
when did all our lessons start to look like weapons
pointed at my deepest hurt
i hope shell be a beautiful fool
who takes my spot next to you
no i didnt mean that
sorry i cant see facts through all of my fury
you havent met the new me yet

and i pulled your body into mine

when the dinner is cold and the chatter gets old
you ask for the tab
or that moment again hes insisting that friends
look at each other like that
when the words of a sister come back in whispers
that prove she was not in fact what she seemed
not a twin from your dreams
shes a crook who was caught
that old familiar body ache
the snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
you know when its time to go
twenty years at your job
then the son of the boss gets the spot that was yours
or trying to stay for the kids
when keeping it how it is will only break their hearts worse
that old familiar body ache
the snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
you know when its time to go
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
fifteen years fifteen million tears
begging til my knees bled
i gave it my all he gave me nothing at all
then wondered why i left
now he sits on his throne in his palace of bones
praying to his greed
hes got my past frozen behind glass
but ive got me
you might also like
that old familiar body ache
the snaps from the same little breaks in my soul
i know when its time to go
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
that will find you the right thing
and you know in your soul
you know in your soul
when its time to go
you know you know you know you know
when its time to go
so then you go
then you go
you just go |

i tried to pick my battles til the battle picked me
misery
like the war of words i shouted in my sleep
and you passed right by
i was in the alley surrounded on all sides
the knife cuts both ways
if the shoe fits walk in it til your high heels break
and i fell from the pedestal

pushed from the precipice
clung to the nearest lips
long story short it was the wrong guy
now im all about you
im all about you ah
yeah yeah
im all about you ah

i always felt i must look better in the rear view
missing me
at the golden gates they once held the keys to
when i dropped my sword
i threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door
and we live in peace
but if someone comes at us this time im ready
cause i fell from the pedestal
right down the rabbit hole

pushed from the precipice
clung to the nearest lips

rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky
and he feels like home

pages turn and stick to each other
wages earned and lessons learned
but i im right where you left me

they say what a sad sight
i i swear you could hear a hair pin drop
right when i felt the moment stop
glass shattered on the white cloth
everybody moved on i i stayed there
dust collected on my pinnedup hair
they expected me to find somewhere
some perspective but i sat and stared

you left me no choice but to stay here forever
you left me you left me no oh you left me no
you left me no choice but to stay here forever

time went on for everybody else she wont know it
shes still twentythree inside her fantasy
how it was supposed to be
did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion
breakups happen every day you dont have to lose it
shes still twentythree inside her fantasy
and youre sitting in front of me
at the restaurant when i was still the one you want
crosslegged in the dim light everything was just right
i i could feel the mascara run
you told me that you met someone
glass shattered on the white cloth
everybody moved on
help im still at the restaurant
still sitting in a corner i haunt
crosslegged in the dim light
they say what a sad sight
i i stayed there
dust collected on my pinnedup hair
im sure that you got a wife out there
kids and christmas but im unaware

i wont ask you to wait if you dont ask me to stay

wholl write books about me if i ever make it
and wonder about the only soul
who can tell which smiles im fakin

rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife
and if it was an openshut case

lost in your current like a priceless wine
the more that you say the less i know
wherever you stray i follow
im begging for you to take my hand
wreck my plans thats my man
life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
head on the pillow i could feel you sneakin in
as if you were a mythical thing
like you were a trophy or a champion ring
and there was one prize id cheat to win
the more that you say the less i know
wherever you stray i follow
im begging for you to take my hand
wreck my plans thats my man
you know that my train could take you home
anywhere else is hollow

they count me out time and time again
life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
but i come back stronger than a 90s trend
wait for the signal and ill meet you after dark
show me the places where the others gave you scars

you booked the night train for a reason
so you could sit there in this hurt
bustling crowds or silent sleepers
youre not sure which is worse
because i dropped your hand while dancing
left you out there standing
crestfallen on the landing
champagne problems
your moms ring in your pocket
my picture in your wallet
your heart was glass i dropped it
champagne problems
you told your family for a reason
you couldnt keep it in
your sister splashed out on the bottle
now no ones celebrating
dom prignon you brought it
no crowd of friends applauded
your hometown skeptics called it
champagne problems
you had a speech youre speechless
love slipped beyond your reaches
and i couldnt give a reason
champagne problems
your midas touch on the chevy door
november flush and your flannel cure
this dorm was once a madhouse
i made a joke well its made for me
how evergreen our group of friends
dont think well say that word again
and soon theyll have the nerve to deck the halls
that we once walked through
one for the money two for the show
i never was ready so i watch you go
sometimes you just dont know the answer
til someones on their knees and asks you
she wouldve made such a lovely bride
what a shame shes fucked in the head they said
but youll find the real thing instead
shell patch up your tapestry that i shred

but youre right here
if i cant relate to you anymore
then who am i related to
and if this is the long haul
howd we get here so soon
did i close my fist around something delicate
did i shatter you
and im sitting on a bench in coney island
wondering where did my baby go
the fast times the bright lights the merry go
sorry for not making you my centerfold
over and over
lost again with no surprises
disappointments close your eyes
and it gets colder and colder
when the sun goes down
the question pounds my head
whats a lifetime of achievement
if i pushed you to the edge
but you were too polite to leave me
and do you miss the rogue
who coaxed you into paradise and left you there
will you forgive my soul
when youre too wise to trust me and too old to care
cause we were like the mall before the internet
it was the one place to be
the mischief the giftwrapped suburban dreams
sorry for not winning you an arcade ring
over and over
lost again with no surprises

and when i got into the accident
the sight that flashed before me was your face
but when i walked up to the podium i think that i forgot to say your name

gray november
ive been down since july
motion capture
put me in a bad light
i replay my footsteps on each stepping stone
trying to find the one where i went wrong
writing letters
addressed to the fire
and i was catching my breath
staring out an open window
catching my death
and i couldnt be sure
i had a feeling so peculiar
that this pain would be for
evermore
hey december
guess im feeling unmoored
cant remember
what i used to fight for
i rewind th tape but all it does is pause
on th very moment all was lost
sending signals
to be doublecrossed
and i was catching my breath
barefoot in the wildest winter
catching my death
and i couldnt be sure
i had a feeling so peculiar
that this pain would be for
evermore
evermore
cant not think of all the cost
and the things that will be lost
oh can we just get a pause
to be certain well be tall again
whether weather be the frost
or the violence of the dog days
im on waves out being tossed
is there a line that i could just go cross
and when i was shipwrecked cant think of all the cost now
i thought of you all the things that will be lost now
in the cracks of light can we just get a pause
i dreamed of you to be certain well be tall again
if you think of all the costs
it was real enough whether weather be the frost
to get me through or the violence of the dog days
or the violence of the dog days
out on waves being tossed
im on waves out being tossed
but i swear is there a line that we can just go cross
you were there

i dont like that falling feels like flying til the bone crush
everybody wants you
but i dont like a gold rush
what must it be like to grow up that beautiful
with your hair falling into place like dominoes
i see me padding across your wooden floors
with my eagles tshirt hanging from the door
at dinner parties i call you out on your contrarian shit
and the coastal town we wandered round had nver seen a love as pure as it
and thn it fades into the gray of my dayold tea
cause it could never be

honey when im above the trees
i see this for what it is
but now im right down in it all the years ive given
is just shit were dividin up
showed you all of my hiding spots
i was dancing when the music stopped
and in the disbelief i cant face reinvention
i havent met the new me yet
therell be happiness after you
but there was happiness because of you
both of these things can be true
there is happiness
past the blood and bruise
past the curses and cries
beyond the terror in the nightfall
haunted by the look in my eyes
that wouldve loved you for a lifetime
leave it all behind
and there is happiness
tell me when did your winning smile
begin to look like a smirk
when did all our lessons start to look like weapons
pointed at my deepest hurt
i hope shell be a beautiful fool
who takes my spot next to you
no i didnt mean that
sorry i cant see facts through all of my fury
you havent met the new me yet
therell be happiness after me
but there was happiness because of me
both of these things i believe
there is happiness

in our history across our great divide
there is a glorious sunrise
dappled with the flickers of light
from the dress i wore at midnight leave it all behind
and there is happiness
i cant make it go away by making you a villain
i guess its the price i paid for seven years in heaven
and i pulled your body into mine
every goddamn night now i get fake niceties
no one teaches you what to do
when a good man hurts you
and you know you hurt him too
honey when im above the trees
i see it for what it is
but now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow where you used to lay your head
after giving you the best i had
tell me what to give after that
all you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness
you havent met the new me yet
and i think shell give you that
therell be happiness after you
but there was happiness because of you too
both of these things can be true
there is happiness
in our history across our great divide
there is a glorious sunrise
dappled with the flickers of light
from the dress i wore at midnight leave it all behind
oh leave it all behind
leave it all behind
and there is happiness |

when the dinner is cold and the chatter gets old
you ask for the tab
or that moment again hes insisting that friends
look at each other like that
when the words of a sister come back in whispers
that prove she was not in fact what she seemed
not a twin from your dreams
shes a crook who was caught
that old familiar body ache
the snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
you know when its time to go
twenty years at your job
then the son of the boss gets the spot that was yours
or trying to stay for the kids
when keeping it how it is will only break their hearts worse
that old familiar body ache
the snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
you know when its time to go
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
fifteen years fifteen million tears
begging til my knees bled
i gave it my all he gave me nothing at all
then wondered why i left
now he sits on his throne in his palace of bones
praying to his greed
hes got my past frozen behind glass
but ive got me
you might also like
that old familiar body ache
the snaps from the same little breaks in my soul
i know when its time to go
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
that will find you the right thing
and you know in your soul
you know in your soul
when its time to go
you know you know you know you know
when its time to go
so then you go
then you go
you just go |

i tried to pick my battles til the battle picked me
misery
like the war of words i shouted in my sleep
and you passed right by
i was in the alley surrounded on all sides
the knife cuts both ways
if the shoe fits walk in it til your high heels break
and i fell from the pedestal
right down the rabbit hole
long story short it was a bad time
pushed from the precipice
clung to the nearest lips
long story short it was the wrong guy
now im all about you
im all about you ah
yeah yeah
im all about you ah
yeah yeah
actually
i always felt i must look better in the rear view
missing me
at the golden gates they once held the keys to
when i dropped my sword
i threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door
and we live in peace
but if someone comes at us this time im ready
cause i fell from the pedestal
right down the rabbit hole

pushed from the precipice
clung to the nearest lips

your nemeses
will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing
and hes passing by
rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky
and he feels like home
if the shoe fits walk in it everywhere you go
and i fell from the pedestal
right down the rabbit hole

pushed from the precipice
climbed right back up the cliff

matches burn after the other
pages turn and stick to each other
wages earned and lessons learned
but i im right where you left me
help im still at the restaurant
still sitting in a corner i haunt
crosslegged in the dim light
they say what a sad sight
i i swear you could hear a hair pin drop
right when i felt the moment stop
glass shattered on the white cloth
everybody moved on i i stayed there
dust collected on my pinnedup hair
they expected me to find somewhere
some perspective but i sat and stared
right where you left me
you left me no you left me no
you left me no choice but to stay here forever
you left me you left me no oh you left me no
you left me no choice but to stay here forever
did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen
time went on for everybody else she wont know it
shes still twentythree inside her fantasy
how it was supposed to be
did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion
breakups happen every day you dont have to lose it
shes still twentythree inside her fantasy
and youre sitting in front of me
at the restaurant when i was still the one you want
crosslegged in the dim light everything was just right
i i could feel the mascara run
you told me that you met someone
glass shattered on the white cloth
everybody moved on
help im still at the restaurant
still sitting in a corner i haunt
crosslegged in the dim light
they say what a sad sight
i i stayed there
dust collected on my pinnedup hair
im sure that you got a wife out there
kids and christmas but im unaware
cause im right where i cause no harm
mind my business
if our love died young

i wont ask you to wait if you dont ask me to stay
so ill go back to la and the socalled friends
wholl write books about me if i ever make it
and wonder about the only soul
who can tell which smiles im fakin
and the heart i know im breakin is my own

you booked the night train for a reason
so you could sit there in this hurt
bustling crowds or silent sleepers
youre not sure which is worse
because i dropped your hand while dancing
left you out there standing
crestfallen on the landing
champagne problems
your moms ring in your pocket
my picture in your wallet
your heart was glass i dropped it
champagne problems
you told your family for a reason
you couldnt keep it in
your sister splashed out on the bottle
now no ones celebrating
dom prignon you brought it
no crowd of friends applauded
your hometown skeptics called it
champagne problems
you had a speech youre speechless
love slipped beyond your reaches
and i couldnt give a reason
champagne problems
your midas touch on the chevy door
november flush and your flannel cure
this dorm was once a madhouse
i made a joke well its made for me
how evergreen our group of friends
dont think well say that word again
and soon theyll have the nerve to deck the halls
that we once walked through
one for the money two for the show
i never was ready so i watch you go
sometimes you just dont know the answer
til someones on their knees and asks you
she wouldve made such a lovely bride
what a shame shes fucked in the head they said
but youll find the real thing instead
shell patch up your tapestry that i shred

never leave you standing
crestfallen on the landing

break my soul in two looking for you
but youre right here
if i cant relate to you anymore
then who am i related to
and if this is the long haul
howd we get here so soon
did i close my fist around something delicate
did i shatter you
and im sitting on a bench in coney island
wondering where did my baby go
the fast times the bright lights the merry go
sorry for not making you my centerfold
over and over
lost again with no surprises
disappointments close your eyes
and it gets colder and colder
when the sun goes down
the question pounds my head
whats a lifetime of achievement
if i pushed you to the edge
but you were too polite to leave me
and do you miss the rogue
who coaxed you into paradise and left you there
will you forgive my soul
when youre too wise to trust me and too old to care
cause we were like the mall before the internet
it was the one place to be
the mischief the giftwrapped suburban dreams
sorry for not winning you an arcade ring
over and over
lost again with no surprises
disappointments close your eyes

and when i got into the accident
the sight that flashed before me was your face
but when i walked up to the podium i think that i forgot to say your name

gray november
ive been down since july
motion capture
put me in a bad light
i replay my footsteps on each stepping stone
trying to find the one where i went wrong
writing letters
addressed to the fire
and i was catching my breath
staring out an open window
catching my death
and i couldnt be sure
i had a feeling so peculiar
that this pain would be for
evermore
hey december
guess im feeling unmoored
cant remember
what i used to fight for
i rewind th tape but all it does is pause
on th very moment all was lost
sending signals
to be doublecrossed
and i was catching my breath
barefoot in the wildest winter
catching my death
and i couldnt be sure
i had a feeling so peculiar
that this pain would be for
evermore
evermore
cant not think of all the cost
and the things that will be lost
oh can we just get a pause
to be certain well be tall again
whether weather be the frost
or the violence of the dog days
im on waves out being tossed
is there a line that i could just go cross
and when i was shipwrecked cant think of all the cost now
i thought of you all the things that will be lost now
in the cracks of light can we just get a pause
i dreamed of you to be certain well be tall again
if you think of all the costs
it was real enough whether weather be the frost
to get me through or the violence of the dog days
or the violence of the dog days
out on waves being tossed
im on waves out being tossed
but i swear is there a line that we can just go cross
you were there

gleaming twinkling
eyes like sinking ships on waters
so inviting i almost jump in
but i dont like a gold rush gold rush
i dont like anticipatin my face in a red flush
i dont like that anyone would die to feel your touch
everybody wants you
everybody wonders what it would be like to love you
walk past quick brush
i dont like slow motion double vision in rose blush
i dont like that falling feels like flying til the bone crush
everybody wants you
but i dont like a gold rush
what must it be like to grow up that beautiful
with your hair falling into place like dominoes
i see me padding across your wooden floors
with my eagles tshirt hanging from the door
at dinner parties i call you out on your contrarian shit
and the coastal town we wandered round had nver seen a love as pure as it
and thn it fades into the gray of my dayold tea
cause it could never be
cause i dont like a gold rush gold rush
i dont like anticipatin my face in a red flush
i dont like that anyone would die to feel your touch
everybody wants you
everybody wonders what it would be like to love you
walk past quick brush
i dont like slow motion double vision in rose blush
i dont like that falling feels like flying til the bone crush
everybody wants you
but i dont like a gold rush
what must it be like to grow up that beautiful
with your hair falling into place like dominoes
my mind turns your life into folklore
i cant dare to dream about you anymore
you might also like
at dinner parties i wont call you out on your contrarian shit
and the coastal town we never found will never see a love as pure as it
cause it fades into the gray of my dayold tea
cause it will never be
gleaming twinkling
eyes like sinking ships on waters
so inviting i almost jump in |
happiness | evermore_JapaneseEdition_ |
honey when im above the trees
i see this for what it is
but now im right down in it all the years ive given
is just shit were dividin up
showed you all of my hiding spots
i was dancing when the music stopped
and in the disbelief i cant face reinvention
i havent met the new me yet
therell be happiness after you
but there was happiness because of you
both of these things can be true
there is happiness
past the blood and bruise
past the curses and cries
beyond the terror in the nightfall
haunted by the look in my eyes
that wouldve loved you for a lifetime
leave it all behind
and there is happiness
tell me when did your winning smile
begin to look like a smirk
when did all our lessons start to look like weapons
pointed at my deepest hurt
i hope shell be a beautiful fool
who takes my spot next to you
no i didnt mean that
sorry i cant see facts through all of my fury
you havent met the new me yet
therell be happiness after me
but there was happiness because of me
both of these things i believe
there is happiness
you might also like
in our history across our great divide
there is a glorious sunrise
dappled with the flickers of light
from the dress i wore at midnight leave it all behind
and there is happiness
i cant make it go away by making you a villain
i guess its the price i paid for seven years in heaven
and i pulled your body into mine
every goddamn night now i get fake niceties
no one teaches you what to do
when a good man hurts you
and you know you hurt him too
honey when im above the trees
i see it for what it is
but now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow where you used to lay your head
after giving you the best i had
tell me what to give after that
all you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness
you havent met the new me yet
and i think shell give you that
therell be happiness after you
but there was happiness because of you too
both of these things can be true
there is happiness
in our history across our great divide
there is a glorious sunrise
dappled with the flickers of light
from the dress i wore at midnight leave it all behind
oh leave it all behind
leave it all behind
and there is happiness |

when the dinner is cold and the chatter gets old
you ask for the tab
or that moment again hes insisting that friends
look at each other like that
when the words of a sister come back in whispers
that prove she was not in fact what she seemed
not a twin from your dreams
shes a crook who was caught
that old familiar body ache
the snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
you know when its time to go
twenty years at your job
then the son of the boss gets the spot that was yours
or trying to stay for the kids
when keeping it how it is will only break their hearts worse
that old familiar body ache
the snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
you know when its time to go
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
fifteen years fifteen million tears
begging til my knees bled
i gave it my all he gave me nothing at all
then wondered why i left
now he sits on his throne in his palace of bones
praying to his greed
hes got my past frozen behind glass
but ive got me
you might also like
that old familiar body ache
the snaps from the same little breaks in my soul
i know when its time to go
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
that will find you the right thing
and you know in your soul
you know in your soul
when its time to go
you know you know you know you know
when its time to go
so then you go
then you go
you just go |

fatefully
i tried to pick my battles til the battle picked me
misery
like the war of words i shouted in my sleep
and you passed right by
i was in the alley surrounded on all sides
the knife cuts both ways
if the shoe fits walk in it til your high heels break
and i fell from the pedestal
right down the rabbit hole
long story short it was a bad time
pushed from the precipice
clung to the nearest lips
long story short it was the wrong guy
now im all about you
im all about you ah
yeah yeah
im all about you ah
yeah yeah
actually
i always felt i must look better in the rear view
missing me
at the golden gates they once held the keys to
when i dropped my sword
i threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door
and we live in peace
but if someone comes at us this time im ready
cause i fell from the pedestal
right down the rabbit hole
long story short it was a bad time
pushed from the precipice
clung to the nearest lips
long story short it was the wrong guy

your nemeses
will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing
and hes passing by
rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky
and he feels like home
if the shoe fits walk in it everywhere you go
and i fell from the pedestal
right down the rabbit hole
long story short it was a bad time
pushed from the precipice
climbed right back up the cliff
long story short i survived

trends change rumors fly through new skies
but im right where you left me
matches burn after the other
pages turn and stick to each other
wages earned and lessons learned
but i im right where you left me
help im still at the restaurant
still sitting in a corner i haunt
crosslegged in the dim light
they say what a sad sight
i i swear you could hear a hair pin drop
right when i felt the moment stop
glass shattered on the white cloth
everybody moved on i i stayed there
dust collected on my pinnedup hair
they expected me to find somewhere
some perspective but i sat and stared
right where you left me
you left me no you left me no
you left me no choice but to stay here forever
you left me you left me no oh you left me no
you left me no choice but to stay here forever
did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen
time went on for everybody else she wont know it
shes still twentythree inside her fantasy
how it was supposed to be
did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion
breakups happen every day you dont have to lose it
shes still twentythree inside her fantasy
and youre sitting in front of me
at the restaurant when i was still the one you want
crosslegged in the dim light everything was just right
i i could feel the mascara run
you told me that you met someone
glass shattered on the white cloth
everybody moved on
help im still at the restaurant
still sitting in a corner i haunt
crosslegged in the dim light
they say what a sad sight
i i stayed there
dust collected on my pinnedup hair
im sure that you got a wife out there
kids and christmas but im unaware
cause im right where i cause no harm

and th school that used to be ours

but if its okay with you its okay with me
we could call it even
you could call me babe for the weekend
tis the damn season write this down

and the road not taken looks real good now
and it always leads to you and my hometown
sleep in half the day just for old times sake
i wont ask you to wait if you dont ask me to stay
so ill go back to la and the socalled friends
wholl write books about me if i ever make it
and wonder about the only soul
who can tell which smiles im fakin
and the heart i know im breakin is my own
to leave the warmest bed ive ever known

but you tolerate it
i greet you with a battle heros welcome

drawing hearts in the byline

break free and leave us in ruins
took this dagger in me and removed it
gain the weight of you then lose it
believe me i could do it
if its all in my head tell me now
tell me ive got it wrong somehow

you booked the night train for a reason
so you could sit there in this hurt
bustling crowds or silent sleepers
youre not sure which is worse
because i dropped your hand while dancing
left you out there standing
crestfallen on the landing
champagne problems
your moms ring in your pocket
my picture in your wallet
your heart was glass i dropped it
champagne problems
you told your family for a reason
you couldnt keep it in
your sister splashed out on the bottle
now no ones celebrating
dom prignon you brought it
no crowd of friends applauded
your hometown skeptics called it
champagne problems
you had a speech youre speechless
love slipped beyond your reaches
and i couldnt give a reason
champagne problems
your midas touch on the chevy door
november flush and your flannel cure
this dorm was once a madhouse
i made a joke well its made for me
how evergreen our group of friends
dont think well say that word again
and soon theyll have the nerve to deck the halls
that we once walked through
one for the money two for the show
i never was ready so i watch you go
sometimes you just dont know the answer
til someones on their knees and asks you
she wouldve made such a lovely bride
what a shame shes fucked in the head they said
but youll find the real thing instead
shell patch up your tapestry that i shred
you might also like
and hold your hand while dancing
never leave you standing
crestfallen on the landing
with champagne problems
your moms ring in your pocket
her picture in your wallet
you wont remember all my
champagne problems
you wont remember all my
champagne problems |

break my soul in two looking for you
but youre right here
if i cant relate to you anymore
then who am i related to
and if this is the long haul
howd we get here so soon
did i close my fist around something delicate
did i shatter you
and im sitting on a bench in coney island
wondering where did my baby go
the fast times the bright lights the merry go
sorry for not making you my centerfold
over and over
lost again with no surprises
disappointments close your eyes
and it gets colder and colder
when the sun goes down
the question pounds my head
whats a lifetime of achievement
if i pushed you to the edge
but you were too polite to leave me
and do you miss the rogue
who coaxed you into paradise and left you there
will you forgive my soul
when youre too wise to trust me and too old to care
cause we were like the mall before the internet
it was the one place to be
the mischief the giftwrapped suburban dreams
sorry for not winning you an arcade ring
over and over
lost again with no surprises
disappointments close your eyes
and it gets colder and colder
when the sun goes down
you might also like
were you waiting at our old spot
in the tree line
by the gold clock
did i leave you hanging every single day
were you standing in the hallway
with a big cake happy birthday
did i paint your bluest skies the darkest grey
a universe away
and when i got into the accident
the sight that flashed before me was your face
but when i walked up to the podium i think that i forgot to say your name
im on a bench in coney island
wondering where did my baby go
the fast times the bright lights the merry go
sorry for not making you my centerfold
over and over
lost again with no surprises
disappointments close your eyes
and it gets colder and colder
when the sun goes down
when the sun goes down
the sight that flashed before me was your face
when the sun goes down
but i think that i forgot to say your name
over and over
sorry for not making you my making you my
making you my centerfold |

honey when im above the trees
i see this for what it is
but now im right down in it all the years ive given
is just shit were dividin up
showed you all of my hiding spots
i was dancing when the music stopped
and in the disbelief i cant face reinvention
i havent met the new me yet
therell be happiness after you
but there was happiness because of you
both of these things can be true
there is happiness
past the blood and bruise
past the curses and cries
beyond the terror in the nightfall
haunted by the look in my eyes
that wouldve loved you for a lifetime
leave it all behind
and there is happiness
tell me when did your winning smile
begin to look like a smirk
when did all our lessons start to look like weapons
pointed at my deepest hurt
i hope shell be a beautiful fool
who takes my spot next to you
no i didnt mean that
sorry i cant see facts through all of my fury
you havent met the new me yet
therell be happiness after me
but there was happiness because of me
both of these things i believe
there is happiness

in our history across our great divide
there is a glorious sunrise
dappled with the flickers of light
from the dress i wore at midnight leave it all behind
and there is happiness
i cant make it go away by making you a villain
i guess its the price i paid for seven years in heaven
and i pulled your body into mine
every goddamn night now i get fake niceties
no one teaches you what to do
when a good man hurts you
and you know you hurt him too
honey when im above the trees
i see it for what it is
but now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow where you used to lay your head
after giving you the best i had
tell me what to give after that
all you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness
you havent met the new me yet
and i think shell give you that
therell be happiness after you
but there was happiness because of you too
both of these things can be true
there is happiness
in our history across our great divide
there is a glorious sunrise
dappled with the flickers of light
from the dress i wore at midnight leave it all behind
oh leave it all behind
leave it all behind
and there is happiness |

my sleepless night
my winless fight
this has frozen my ground
stood on the cliffside screaming give me a reason
your faithless loves the only hoax i believe in
dont want no other shade of blue but you
no other sadness in the world would do
my best laid plan
your sleight of hand
my barren land
i am ash from your fire
stood on the cliffside screaming give me a reason
your faithless loves the only hoax i believe in
dont want no other shade of blue but you
no other sadness in the world would do
you know i left a part of me back in new york
you knew the hero died so whats the movie for
you knew it still hurts underneath my scars
from when they pulled me apart
you knew the password so i let you in the door
you knew you won so whats the point of keeping score
you knew it still hurts underneath my scars
from when they pulled me apart
but what you did was just as dark
ah ah ah
darling this was just as hard
as when they pulled me apart

my only one
my kingdom come undone
my broken drum
you have beaten my heart
dont want no other shade of blue but you
no other sadness in the world would do |

when the dinner is cold and the chatter gets old
you ask for the tab
or that moment again hes insisting that friends
look at each other like that
when the words of a sister come back in whispers
that prove she was not in fact what she seemed
not a twin from your dreams
shes a crook who was caught
that old familiar body ache
the snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
you know when its time to go
twenty years at your job
then the son of the boss gets the spot that was yours
or trying to stay for the kids
when keeping it how it is will only break their hearts worse
that old familiar body ache
the snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
you know when its time to go
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
fifteen years fifteen million tears
begging til my knees bled
i gave it my all he gave me nothing at all
then wondered why i left
now he sits on his throne in his palace of bones
praying to his greed
hes got my past frozen behind glass
but ive got me
you might also like
that old familiar body ache
the snaps from the same little breaks in my soul
i know when its time to go
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
sometimes giving up is the strong thing
sometimes to run is the brave thing
sometimes walking out is the one thing
that will find you the right thing
that will find you the right thing
and you know in your soul
you know in your soul
when its time to go
you know you know you know you know
when its time to go
so then you go
then you go
you just go |

i sit and watch you reading with your head low
i wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed
i sit and watch you
i notice everything you do or dont do
youre so much older and wiser and i
i wait by the door like im just a kid
use my best colors for your portrait
lay the table with the fancy shit
and watch you tolerate it
if its all in my head tell me now
tell me ive got it wrong somehow
i know my love should be celebrated
but you tolerate it
i greet you with a battle heros welcome
i take your indiscretions all in good fun
i sit and listn i polish plates until they gleam and glistn
youre so much older and wiser and i
i wait by the door like im just a kid
use my best colors for your portrait
lay the table with the fancy shit
and watch you tolerate it
if its all in my head tell me now
tell me ive got it wrong somehow
i know my love should be celebrated
but you tolerate it
while you were out building other worlds where was i
wheres that man whod throw blankets over my barbed wire
i made you my temple my mural my sky
now im begging for footnotes in the story of your life
drawing hearts in the byline
always taking up too much space or time
you assume im fine but what would you do if i
break free and leave us in ruins
took this dagger in me and removed it
gain the weight of you then lose it
believe me i could do it
if its all in my head tell me now
tell me ive got it wrong somehow
i know my love should be celebrated
but you tolerate it

i sit and watch you |

and the tennis court was covered up
with some tentlike thing
and you asked me to dance
but i said dancin is a dangerous game
oh i thought
this is gonna be one of those things
now i know
im never gonna love again
ive got some tricks up my sleeve
takes one to know one
youre a cowboy like me
never wanted love
just a fancy car
now im waiting by the phone
like im sitting in an airport bar
you had some tricks up your sleeve
takes one to know one
youre a cowboy like me
perched in the dark
tellin all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
like it could be love
i could be the way forward
only if they pay for it
youre a bandit like me
eyes full of stars
hustling for the good life
never thought id meet you here
it could be love
we could be the way forward
and i know ill pay for it
youre a cowboy like me
perched in the dark
tellin all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
like it could be love
i could be the way forward
only if they pay for it
youre a bandit like me
eyes full of stars
hustlin for the good life
never thought id meet you here
it could be love
we could be the way forward
and i know ill pay for it

and the skeletons in both our closets
plotted hard to fuck this up
and the old men that ive swindled
really did believe i was the one
and the ladies lunchin have their stories about
when you passed through town
oh but that was all before i locked it down
now you hang from my lips
like the gardens of babylon
with your boots beneath my bed
forever is the sweetest con
ive had some tricks up my sleeve
takes one to know one
youre a cowboy like me
and im never gonna love again
im never gonna love again
im never gonna love again |

gray november
ive been down since july
motion capture
put me in a bad light
i replay my footsteps on each stepping stone
trying to find the one where i went wrong
writing letters
addressed to the fire
and i was catching my breath
staring out an open window
catching my death
and i couldnt be sure
i had a feeling so peculiar
that this pain would be for
evermore
hey december
guess im feeling unmoored
cant remember
what i used to fight for
i rewind th tape but all it does is pause
on th very moment all was lost
sending signals
to be doublecrossed
and i was catching my breath
barefoot in the wildest winter
catching my death
and i couldnt be sure
i had a feeling so peculiar
that this pain would be for
evermore
evermore
cant not think of all the cost
and the things that will be lost
oh can we just get a pause
to be certain well be tall again
whether weather be the frost
or the violence of the dog days
im on waves out being tossed
is there a line that i could just go cross
and when i was shipwrecked cant think of all the cost now
i thought of you all the things that will be lost now
in the cracks of light can we just get a pause
i dreamed of you to be certain well be tall again
if you think of all the costs
it was real enough whether weather be the frost
to get me through or the violence of the dog days
or the violence of the dog days
out on waves being tossed
im on waves out being tossed
but i swear is there a line that we can just go cross
you were there
you might also like
and i was catching my breath
floors of a cabin creaking under my step
and i couldnt be sure
i had a feeling so peculiar
this pain wouldnt be for
evermore
evermore
evermore
this pain wouldnt be for evermore
