Whoa 01:08
lyrics
buy track
I passed this dude out on the sidewalk today With a hilarious grin plastered up on his face He was all alone, but you'd never know Just passing it along as he goes Down the block Not stopping to talk But when he gets to the pass He knows right where he's at And walks on Whoa

Desperate 02:57
lyrics
buy track
It's all the same Slight my name We all run off on a tightrope A step too wide On either side A blast into the stratosphere Throw your hand in mine I can't hide my desperation no more It's overtaking every trait I wish I could explain the way I wish I was I wish, I wish, I wait I show my teeth What's underneath It never meant what I thought it did So I walk alone In the midnight drone Cicada songs keep me company And I tell myself that's fine I can't hide my desperation no more It's overtaking every trait I wish I could explain the way I wish I was I wish, I wish, I wait I can't hide my desperation no more I can't hide my desperation no more I'm out of place and time, I'm afraid I awoke and ended up this way I can't hide my desperation no more

Closer To Midnight 02:31
lyrics
buy track
When the shadows hit the streetlights There's no more time to hide A couple showerbeers and records To warm me up inside Some hearts are steady as a drum But mine's a tambourine Oh it's a shaky sort of beat But I believe that it's still evergreen Closer to midnight Short walk to Benson Slip on the side streets, on muddy hands and knees Does the promise remain? I've grown too Irish for whiskey I sometimes feel the loss But I get sad and volatile enough without it So I toss Rocks at reflections in the water With memories I don't quite recognize Or want to keep around That make me feel so totally alone Closer to midnight Short walk to Benson Slip on the side streets, on muddy hands and knees Does the promise remain? I don't mess with cigarettes But of course I'll come outside My clothes might billow smoke tomorrow But it's worth it just to talk a bit tonight

Broken Record 03:54
lyrics
buy track
I need a favor, I know you got me Somebody turn off the static in my nervous system It comes back over and over all day and every night Over and over I'm feeling thankful for all the people I love I'm feeling lonely too, but it's just that time I guess It's spinning circles, encircling til it's tight as a knot Over and over I don't believe a good friend needs to be hard to find If I could see you all right now it would blow my goddamn mind Carry it all along, we'll see between the stages I can't seem to get used to it Let's try to stay close together for some time I'm always rambling on as if that changes anything This broken record, this breaking apart is too much to take Over and over I don't believe a good friend needs to be hard to find If I could see you all right now it would blow my goddamn mind Carry it all along, we'll see between the stages I can't seem to get used to it Everybody wants so badly The things we'll never get to have We fumble around in the dark trying to find the ground Then we all fall down I don't believe a good friend needs to be hard to find If I could see you all right now it would blow my goddamn mind Carry it all along, we'll see between the stages I can't seem to get used to it

Hang On 03:43
lyrics
buy track
We survive like it's something to hide Hanging onto our pain, hanging onto our pride Broken hearts stick around for the long haul Give us comfort in the dark, give us elevated marks I can feel this winter's gonna be a tough one Hang on for the night, hang on for the night I don't do too well out in the freezing cold Hang on for the night, hang on for the night My biggest fear - everybody disappears I should have kept you around, I should have nailed everybody down I felt the wind shaking me out of the wonder We can keep it all together, we can all get a little better I can feel this winter's gonna be a tough one Hang on for the night, hang on for the night I don't do too well out in the freezing cold Hang on for the night, hang on for the night

Time Zones 04:20
lyrics
buy track
The time zone's expiration Starts another round of deja vu If we can keep the sun above We just might make it out of the blue The roads are black at midnight Eyes are red and raw and open We've all been spilled across the land But we still pick each other up now and then See you when it feels right Do you know what it feels like? Covering ground again See you around to keep from sinking It's only 8 hours from here to the mountains We can stretch our money thin Living out of gas stations, it's all ephemeral But we can make anywhere our own The sky is red and wide and open It's all beautiful if you look close enough We're all just visiting as strangers In someone else's hometown See you when it feels right Do you know what it feels like? Covering ground again See you around to keep from sinking

Tripping and Falling for You 03:32
lyrics
buy track
Out on the porch We can drink what we like We can stay til the morning Taking in lightning strikes In my head Nothing slows down much In my Bulls lawn chair Your eyes say, 'what's the rush?' Hot bright lights and thunder We can roll on through the night I'd break all of my bones if I was left alone I'd break all of my bones if I was left alone Tripping and falling for you Hard hearts these days Overflowing and broken down But these nights, through the rain Through it all, we'll stick around No reason to wonder Let's just chalk this up to luck I'd break all of my bones if I was left alone I'd break all of my bones if I was left alone Tripping and falling for you

True Blue 02:46
lyrics
buy track
I want to cut my hair and start all over I want to buzz it down to show I'm serious The closer to the skin, the easier to do it again I want to stumble onto the place where I belong I want to be surrounded by whoever's there It's something from a dream It's something I thought I had seen in another time Oh, sometimes these days throw me around Oh, I'll never know the way Who can cut through? I wanna be true blue We get a little dizzy when we're all alone I get the feeling I could use some air I'll run til I fall to the floor to breath in deeper than ever before I know that I'd be different without you I know that maybe I should play it cool But do you feel the same? No artifice, no parlor games to play Oh, sometimes these days throw me around Oh, I'll never know the way Who can cut through? I wanna be true blue

If You See Me 02:59
lyrics
buy track
If we're ever made to part I hope that you can find me I'll be there waiting after dark Some cans across a frayed string Fading faster If you see me in your dreams Don't run away from in-between Kiss me then, don't disappear I'm out of place away from here All those things I wished I said Just whispers now to find you So tell me, when you rest your head Do you see me clearly too? Squeeze my hand tight Until daylight If you see me in your dreams Don't run away from in-between Kiss me then, don't disappear I'm out of place away from here

We'll Laugh Again 06:33
lyrics
buy track
The face of my love Holds a smile What holds me up melts down once in awhile The voice of time Whispers hello Too far behind, I'm blind in the afterglow Can we ever get it back again? We'll laugh again Are you real? I'm trying to shake this poison ache I feel The knot in my throat Too comfortable Can't die without a fight, dyed in the wool Can we ever get it back again? Can we ever get it back again? We lost it all, been scattered out into the wind Chase it down Reaching out We're throwing out the last disguise To see ourselves again with our open eyes Never again as strangers I'll run away to where you are I'll run away to where you are Farewell my friend To the stories we tell That no one else would begin To believe In the end In the end Can we ever get it back again? We lost it all, been scattered out into the wind Chase it down Reaching out We're throwing out the last disguise To see ourselves again with our open eyes Never again as strangers
