Lyrics:

i was standin' around like one of those girls i had seen in a movie the whole world was a movie back then i had my sunglasses on i wanted to be seen without seeing Shy Lolita i wasn't really in it i didn't really get it i was every single girl, i was nobody else i was so sure of myself i was fifteen and a half he was a hollow laugh and i lost my cool somewhere along the way the nightmare down the hallway i had to learn how to look away i lost my cool no electricity hot rain on the concrete and sweet melting little girl dreams they said oh i want a big life not a 'how sad coulda been' life where are you taking me, where are you taking me i say everything i do i feel farther removed from my old life where is it taking me, where is it taking me i was standin' on my best friend's balcony feelin' a certain kinda wise at seventeen thinking the flare on the lens was the real thing she was with her boyfriend in the back room i was chain-smoking cigarettes and looking at the moon thought i was really in it i didn't really get it i lost my cool somewhere around the bend it started making less sense holding onto all that innocence i lost my cool i found it in a chemical dream the whole world is a movie screen and hudson avenue's melting i say oh i want a big life not a 'how sad coulda been' life where are you taking me, where are you taking me i say everything i do i feel farther removed from my old life where is it taking me, where is it taking me a portrait of my mother she says stay young, stay young, stay young, stay young i see my baby brother i just come undone it's some life i been living you don't know 'til you're in it then all of a sudden you can't get get back back out run run away oh i want a big life not a 'how sad coulda been' life where are you taking me, where are you taking me i say everything i do i feel closer to some kind of new life where is it taking me, where is it taking me

Lyrics:

Don’t harass me if I’m here on time Another day on the assembly line Makin’ pennies while you’re makin’ dimes Lord I pray for something new Work is steady but the shifts are long Leave at dusk, comin’ in at dawn At least they let me turn the radio on Can you play me somethin’ good? I’m tired of second best Good God I need some rest Gonna work myself to death this life My body’s killin’ me Good Good I need some sleep Gonna work just like a dog all night But all I want for you is a better life Play my music for a buck on the side Makin’ nothin’ but you know that I tried Go to sleep eatin’ nothin’ but pride Lord I pray for somethin’ new

Lyrics:

Leaves on the trees Mean nothing to me I say Theatre lights Were always too bright I say In your heart yeah you found A poisonous sound A sky with the bottom in flames On your porch is a chair And your daddy sits there And he sings and he calls out your name She’s dressed up in white But it doesn’t look right So I stand and I scream from my seat But my words are misheard So I leave like a bird Flying north to escape from the heat Everything, Everything’s gonna change x2 Walking the streets With nowhere to be I say The things that you feel They never were real I say Everything, Everything’s gonna change x6 But I remain the same

Lyrics:

Morning after nauseous half disasters The calm is not so quiet in my head It says you drink too much You're not in love with anyone You'll never say the things you never said Oh it all seems really simple in a picture Somebody you don't know always works hard And you're always just nursing some hangover Guilt tripping over homeless works of art I've been lost, lost, lost brother I've been blinded by the sun and the father I've got more, more, more than I can shoulder But I'll be fine, when I find my way home Morning after nauseous half disasters And I swear I'll get my act together soon Cause this is not at all what I imagined, no When I thought of all the things that I might do Oh it all seems really simple when you're little Naivety is such a fuzzy friend I'm not saying I'm wrecked or I am ruined no I just mistook the beginning for the end And I got lost, lost, lost brother I got blinded by the sun and the father I've got more, more, more than I can shoulder But I'll be fine, when I find my way home Look, sometimes love is the reflection of a building in the water On a night when everybody stays at home And sometimes love's a puddled puzzle piece, obsolete and soggy That becomes a whole new picture on its own So we can bitch about how fast the world is spinning Or we can use the orbit for a whole new view I know love will be the answer to my wandering Maybe I got lost so I could find you I think I got lost so I could find you So when you're lost lost lost brother When you fly too close to the sun and the father When the world is more than you can shoulder You come and find me, you can call me home Come and find me, you can call me home Come and find me, call me home

Lyrics:

I don't know what to do with these hands of mine It looks like I’ve got twenty fingers, way they’re shaking all the time I am a child, I know that always But I'm a daughter, and that I constantly forget I’ve got a head that's like a bomb just threatening to detonate And a heart that pumps as well as any other but still aches I'm in love with an unforeseen version of a person I've already met And I am humbled and afraid of all the things that I know that I don't know yet They say work hard They say play They say work hard They say play But they think hard work is a montage from a movie And I keep playing the same song because it moves me Sometimes I feel the way I light the room It’s as warm as any sun but shines like only can the moon Yet for all that I can be I am more when I can see how bad he wants to be my fool And I'm learning to get over feeling small Yeah, most people, when they meet me now, they treat me really tall Yet for all that I may be I am nothing so quickly when he don't call And I am humbled and afraid to break a thing that I have never touched at all They say love hard They say don't stay They say love hard But don’t give it all away But they think true love is a montage from a movie And I keep sticking to this man ’cause he still moves me I don't know if I’ve missed the point by now If the winds I kept at bay have finally blown my house right down I put all my energy toward saving one thing To watch everything else drown But there's got to be a fire that burns above Even with my shaking hands I can still grasp that kind of love It is safe and it is real It's the kind that makes you feel forever young And I am humbled and afraid that I won't know it when it finally shows up They say work hard They say play They say love hard Then run away Maybe life is just a montage from a movie But I’ll keep repeating the same song long as it moves me

Lyrics:

I was your rock in your wildest transition Doctored you up in the worst of your days So you preached me your gospel when no one else listened Yes I sat in your pew just to hear what you’d say Eastern time’s just like a car where the brake lights Are burned out from stoppin’ one too many times So you look out your rearview, catch the last of the sunlight Hope whatever’s down the road is worth what’s left behind Always turn to sometimes Sometimes turn to nevers Temporary goodbyes Turn into forever You go sing your Rocky Top And buy a tighter skirt And I’ll leave my Great Smoky Love with you babe And you can decide what it’s worth I thought of you while all the white constellations Burned through the black veil hung up in the sky If those stars persist to be seen through the darkness Then I sure as Hell can remain in your life You like to be kissed when we passed by the drug store Our town’s only traffic light lit up in red When the yellow bulbs burned you would lean in for one more But these days I hope for the green lights instead Eastern time’s just like a car where the brake lights Are burned out from stoppin’ one too many times So you look out your rearview, catch the last of the sunlight Hope whatever’s down the road is worth what’s left behind

Lyrics:

we’re breaking through or we’re breaking down it’s hard in the dark now to figure it out and i can be clever and i can be cool but i’m trying to be honest with you ‘cause you glitter at night like a lightning parade while i thunder and hunger for some kind of savior we are so clever, the coolest of cool but i’d rather we tried to be true and if i ever told you what you had to do if i made you feel as if you had to choose well it’s only because i’m the one here with something to lose so maybe i went and i broke my own heart i’ve been thinking it’s time that i ripped it a part ‘cause i’m getting tired of ending up back where i started and now i got my eyes on, on the horizon it’s calling me now calling me now i rolled a pair of dice they landed on paradise and baby i’m taking it i got my eyes on, on the horizon it’s shining all around me now imagine the churches where people go pray and imagine the houses where all of them stay if i’ve been in one, i’ve been in them all they are buildings, some day they will fall but deeper inside is a heart that’s alive it may quit its beating, but it will always survive it is tied by the strings of our whole history we are blind, but someday we will see and i will always be grateful for the dumb shit you’ve done and i will never hate you for giving me less than none this kind of a war it is never so easily won and so maybe i went and i broke my own heart i’ve been thinking it’s time that i ripped it a part ‘cause i’m getting tired of ending up back where i started and now i got my eyes on, on the horizon it’s calling me now calling me now i rolled a pair of dice they landed on paradise and baby i’m taking it i got my eyes on, on the horizon it’s shining all around me now

Lyrics:

sweet little angel lights up the camera sweet baby brother calm little lamb yes we were young then can you remember sweet baby brother i’m holding your hand and i go back now all of the time emerald grass ice blue sky we were running really flying there were no ropes that could tie us now i live up in the attic with the soft projector light i’ve got home movies always playing in my mind games only we know friends only we see you were the best one always be with me so forget what they tell you forget what life does to a child we know the real truth children are wilder and wiser and i go back more all of the time to that emerald grass and that ice blue sky where we were running really flying there were no ropes that could tie us now i live up in the attic feel the soft projector light i’ve got home movies always playing in my mind i’ve got home movies always looping in my mind

Lyrics:

Well your mama always worried And she passed it on to you You were born in the South With a taste in your mouth Of Pacific Ocean blue You were always somethin’ special I could hear it when you sing But the way that you paused Between your words when you called Had a different kind of sting Was I not enough For your holy love? But the scars of lust My soul will be yours soon I’m growin’ up Well I always loved the present But you loved the memories And the future is near But as long as you’re here I’ll love as much as you’ll give me If I slept well in the jungle I would drown into the sea And float to the sand With my hand in your hand And the love I kept for me

Lyrics:

When she's coming back home In her little funny coat Throwing me in to bed Keep me warm Keep me safe Now sit next to me Introduce me to your dreams Bad stories on your back Hold on let it fly I wish those days Never stop Never end And time well spent Promise to me Will never change Will never change High heels wavy hair Not that I would care Than she took me down the street She would never make a fool of me I wish those days Never stop Never end And time well spent Promise to me Will never change Will never change

Lyrics:

Seven ways to break apart from me  A paper bag is not good enough for this breath  Shore to shore we're the safest bet, aren't we?  What's the point of growing up when we can't?  These streets don't speak to you and me  I'm burning out on weekend scenes  These streets don't speak to you and me  Burning out on weekends...  Little words and forget-me-nots on me  I'm just a waste of common sense and ideals  Coast to coast we're the safest best, aren't we?  Growing up while burning down without dreams  I'm allright  This last time  Without you  I'm allright  Without you  With all your friends  They'll never stand a chance  Now they're dead  With all your friends  They'll never stand a chance  For one last dance  For one last dance...
