my heart’s a bomb
alive and ticking
and I wouldn't be here now if you’d not
diffused it for so long
I’d be long gone
I’d be sparks kicking
up a cloud of dust debris and smoke
of everything gone wrong
and my mind will not let me forget
my heart’s a target
the world a gun
the whole world a gun
my mind’s a stone
that’s slowly sinking
in the water it was skipping along
not too long ago
I should have known
when I can’t stop thinking
that dwelling on the saddest things
just brings the undertow
and my mind still won’t let me forget
my heart a target...

Settle the Score
03:33
|
|||
|
let’s settle the score
who’s winning and who’s losing
you know I can’t remember
anymore
what was it all for
lord what was I doing
lying there moping on the bedroom floor
oh oh oh
all my friends going out
I tell them go on without me
I sit on the sofa cranking
portishead
if I could do it again
I would go out with randa
chris and dave tommy and norm
instead
oh oh oh
so much time wasted doing dumb stuff
so much I’m embarrassed of
just a kid stumbling through his first love
falling hard and never getting up
all I want all I’ve ever wanted
is for you to miss me
was all this worth what I learned
you can’t juggle fire
without getting burned
so what was the score
I’m pretty sure I’m losing
because I’m not playing
anymore

Walk With Me
03:46
|
|||
|
if you want to walk with me
I could use the company
I’m not headed anywhere
guess I’ll know when I get there
please don’t hurry take your time
please don’t worry I’ll be fine
no one’s waiting up for me
the road ahead is all empty
let’s enjoy this quiet day
with the skies lonely and grey
hear the raindrops on the leaves
play their simple symphony
if you need to you can leave
if you have some place to be
I think I’ll sit here for a while
contemplating the next mile
there was another girl that walked with me
not so very long ago
I lost track of her a while back
when she chose a different road
sometimes I wonder where she is now
I guess I’ll never know
sometimes I call her name out in a crowd
but that’s really just for show
If you’ve ever run away at night
to wait for her by the streetlight
streetlight, streetlight
if you’ve ever laid down in the yard
just wondering why you are
where you are, where you are
there was another girl that walked with me
not so very long ago
sometimes I wonder where she is now
I guess I’ll never know
if you want to walk with me
I could use the company
I’m not headed anywhere
guess I’ll know when I get there
if you need to you can leave
if you have some place to be
I think I’ll sit here for a while
contemplating the next mile
I think I’ll sit here for a while
try to remember her smile

Without You
02:40
|
|||
|
my 'lissa you are to me
what rivers are to the sea
without you I’d soon be empty
elliot your laughter makes
me forget all my heart aches
without you all my toys would break
when I see my wife hold my son
in our room when the day is done
it makes me grateful to be alive
I’m smiling because it’s funny
how we can have no money
but I feel wealthier every night

Messy
01:41
|
|||
|
I see you across the store
I turn and head right for the door
I don't want to see you
right now
cause I'm a mess
because I got into a fight
with another girl last night
and I'm trying to make it right
some how
what a mess
its such a mess
such a mess
the last time I saw you
we were just
kids out on our own
the last time I called you
you hung up the phone
outside in the parking lot
I realize that I am not
what you want what you want
we're a mess
arent we a mess
such a mess
I guess

Far Away
02:15
|
|||
|
yesterday I got older
I got wiser
started turning gray
hey, wish I could hold her
apologize but
she is too far away
she’s too far away
anyway
I am not the
boy that she knew
I have a boy now of my own
and when grows up
should I tell him
I’ve reaped more than I’ve sewn
far away
it’s too far away
I don’t think she’s coming back

7 Blankets Deep
03:12
|
|||
|
I want to apologize
for taking a break
I can't stop rubbing my eyes
I can't stay awake, can't stay awake
you caught me napping
you caught me slacking off
you caught me sleeping right through
the afternoon
I should be packing
I should be hacking off
the roots I'm growing into
if ever they discover
an addiction to sleep
you'll find me under the covers
six or seven blankets deep
when I look back at these days
they'll all just be a haze
all covered in clouds
like waking suddenly from
a dream and wondering
what it was about, what's it about
you caught me napping
you caught me slacking off
you caught me sleeping right through
the afternoon
I should be packing
I should be hacking off
the roots I'm growing into

I don't feel you anymore
I'm no longer breaking like a wave on your shore
you oughta know by now
anyhow
I'm no longer reaching out
like the shadows at the edge of town
you oughta know by now
anyhow
and I don't want to dwell on you
tonight
I will clean my mind until I'm
feeling all right
all right
but of course I feel you still
and of course you know I always will
I oughta know by now

Pwn Me
02:37
|

|
Why should I apologize for things I havent done
when you barely recognize me in a crowd of one
You don’t own me
You don’t know me well
You’re the kind of girl that likes to throw her wiles around
Fill the room up with your smiles watch everybody drown
You don’t own me
You don’t know me well
Do you? Don’t think you do
Cause I do and I promise you you don’t
I was suprised to realize I felt so much for you
the sun in your eyes makes your lies worth believing true
you may own me
but you don’t know me well
Do you? Don’t think you do
Cause I do and I promise you you don’t
you may own me
but you don’t know me well
