In Between Worlds
02:19
|
|||
The ground swells up in circles, in she goes
The face of everyone she knew
Came true and now it's over
This time is the last time you'd ever
See her with kind eyes
Through with those, and she knows
See her with kind eyes
Through with those, and she knows
I never meant to be so into only
So into only me, I never meant
An early morning ego hits the road
Exposed, escaping out of view
Breathes better every corner
Last time was the last time you'd ever
See her with kind eyes
Through with those, and she knows
See her with kind eyes
Through with those, and she knows
I never meant to be so into only
So into only me, I never meant
The star cracks the machine
The watcher hates close calls
And I am in between your worlds

Passed Out In Showers
02:50
|

Always around, always there
Half a glance away
Take off high flyer, catch the wire
Underneath your skin
You were closing in
I can't allow that now
To bring it alive you go out clean
I hide away trying not to breathe (it's all we want to know)
There's something bad she knows about me that makes her call
Passed out in showers, hours and hours
People look so strange
Shaking it off, waking up
Somehow last the day but how does that make everything ok
To bring it alive you go out clean
I hide away trying not to breathe (it's all we want to know)
There's something bad she knows about me that makes her call

In Your Space
04:52
|

Used to be I was floating on your world
Used to be another kind of girl
It never was too hard to get me under your shirt
Much too hard to get you to stay
When the summer's here
Gotta look past the good times and make it real
Used to be another kind of face
Now I feel I'm getting in your space
It never was too hard to nail you down for a flirt
Much too hard to get you to stay
When there's others near
Gotta look past the good times and make it real

The Secret Song
03:52
|
|||
Tossed up on the shore
Crushed gold and nearly cast in so bright
When it washed away
I could hardly recognize her face
She knows it's good to be dusted gleam
In the summer, through the winter
Don't abide disgrace
You'll still be my idol when you come clean
Busted open wide
A statue's soul can always take the slide
She knows it's good to be dusted gleam
In the summer, through the winter

Babyface

|

I blew it, I know it
I hate this, where I'm at
I'm such a cold bastard
Too fast to take it back
Now it's all escape, I got you running away
But when you comin' back to stay?
I gotta get off it
You threw it all to me
I gotta get with it
Just brighten up and see
Now it's all escape, I got you running away
But when you comin' back to stay?
And it's been so long
And it's been so long since I said one good thing to you
And it's been so long since I said one good thing to you

The Cat
05:08
|
|||
You should have called me up
What I said was true
You were just so far and I was too
You're takin' bets I'll make it home
Where other voices speak with care
They shiver through the walls
They're visions in the halls
The cat I kicked out coughs and says I'm the only one
You had to be afraid
Where others would have stayed
You should have called me up
What I said was true
You were just so far and I was too
It never would have worked
Never would have flown
But where your subconscious goes it goes

Teenage Makeout Session

What does it take to get you out
Get you out, get you out
Rocks at the window to get you up
Get you up, get you out
You say your sister's awake
You got no weed to take
Ah yeah but I can't wait another minute now
Come on I'll help you down, down
Ah yeah the air's so clean tonight
And behind the school the concrete's cold but
This bottle's gonna make us warm and bright
What if we took a day or two
Stole away, different view
Hide out on the crowded streets
What do you say, are you with me?
You say you wanna go
But it's like this, you know
Ah yeah but I can't wait another minute now
I wish you'd come around, around
Ah yeah the air's so clean tonight
And behind the school the concrete's cold but
This bottle's gonna make us warm and bright
And at midnight I closed into her hand sweet joint
Ah that Julie couldn't wait 'til morning to light

Distancing
04:19
|
|||
She could chase it all away
I could barely see her then
And this part of me that knows it all
Keeps quiet in the wake of finding out that it doesn't really
What if we both tried
What if we both played it cool
Cause you're getting through to me
Distancing, distancing
She could see right through it all
And she told me so I'd know
And there's only so much anyone can take
Until it all comes falling in, then that empty feeling
What if we both tried
What if we both played it cool
Cause you're getting through to me
Distancing, distancing

Secretaries
02:05
|
|||
I didn't want to see you in person
I wanted to hear about you second hand
All familiar things are written in stone
And so we know it goes
Secretaries are always like you on Mondays
Please be gone on Sunday
I didn't want to meet you for coffee
I wanted to try to kick the habit
I'm sure you pulled that thought from some other head
I know you know I know
Secretaries are always like you on Mondays
Please be gone on Sunday
Fly this old car from its space
And jet speed cold on a bitter night alone
Tomorrow you're staying home
And secretaries are always like you on Mondays
Please be gone on Sunday
Maybe tonight will be the one

The Day Before
02:17
|
|||
You lost all your glitter
It's showing
What's wrong with the picture
It doesn't breathe
Splitting your tongue
Slithered and stoned
Up to lunar June
Where everything turned untrue
You didn't slow, why
Like the day before
Bottled in blue and a legend old
A fine way to go
You sweetened your offer
It's cooling
It can't get much better
You're fluttering
Splitting your tongue
Slithered and stoned
Up to lunar June
Where everything turned untrue
You didn't slow, why
Like the day before
Bottled in blue and a legend old
A fine way to go

Crawl On Radio
04:28
|
|||
All that's going on
All left alone
Never get too close to home
God, I'm trying to give it up
Send a wall of fun
Send a fall out a window alone
Wasn't long ago we got some
It used to be that song
Crawl on radio
Wait up for the sun
A sip of what's to come
Call up long before
Wade in to the shore
All that's been and gone
Can stay where it belongs
Places I never go
Tired faces given up
Send a wall of fun
Send a fall out a window alone
Wasn't long ago we got some
It used to be that song
Crawl on radio
Wait up for the sun
A sip of what's to come
Call up long before
Wade in to the shore

I can feel the sand
It kicks up in clouds
Strolling at the bottom
Miles from the land
And to say I don't have to try
Is true and more as I see no sky
I love it this deep, I need no sleep
The ocean floor is the friend I'll keep
Can't remember when
I last saw the sun
It's nothing I miss
Just like everyone
And to say I don't have to try
Is true and more as I see no sky
I love it this deep, I need no sleep
The ocean floor is the friend I'll keep
And what if this is all tomorrow holds
A thousand more as I get old
I love it this deep, I need no sleep
The ocean floor is the friend I'll keep
