start new
02:48

before the wind
blew me to you
what were my plans?
what would I do?
because that's where I am
again
without a clue
time to begin again
start new
I tried the same old dreams
but they don't seem to be
what comes next for me
did I leave it with you?

in the year 2009
keep it all locked up inside
don't say nothing
you wouldn't write to everyone
life can be so black and blue
band aids on my thoughts of you
I try so hard to forget my whole life
new haircut
knows what to do
don't watch it all pass by
if you jump into the rhythm
take it one note at a time
don't let the doubt stay long inside
tip the glass back all the way
get your heart set on today
let the trouble sit and stay behind
life can be so fiery red
don't waste the whole thing in your head
don't count your steps
don't hold your breath
don't lie
like my best friends always say
"everything's gonna be okay"
every night and every day
as we all try to survive
taking one note at a time
take it one note at a time
don't let the doubt stay long inside

explanations
03:43
|
|
||
sometimes it all comes together
sometimes you tear it apart
nothing lasts long enough
when the love takes off
will you be my finish line?
will you not fade?
will you always stay mine?
until we get to the age..
until we die?
I left a few good friends behind
never told them how I felt
all my explanations
swallowed by time
now when I run into someone
when I say "how you been?"
what I'm really thinking
just counting down
until we say goodbye again

no memory

no memory
I saw you at the show you cried
I saw you at the show last night
wanting to believe
to hold on to something
that look in your eye
so much love or something
and when stephen sang
"I'll make my nest"
I got a text
it just said "goodbye"
but that look in your eyes
was like a smile

the rain & the storm
03:29
|
|
||
blood on your lips
your heart just quit
something they did shut you down
blurred your face
stole your fate
but it's not too late
to turn their hate around
don't give up
don't go home
you are the rain and the storm
don't give in
don't let go
you never die in our eyes
or our hearts
they got a system
but we ain't with them
there's too much missing
when they get finished
they trade it all
for something small
they watched you fall
but never saw who you are

bones
02:40
|
|
||
water slips through
my closed fingers
and I die of thirst
a wild wild death
the end
in the desert
just bones
does my love disappear?
if I were cooked up
and devoured
would my soul
come into question?
would I be less than
my killer?
when you kill me
where is my soul?
in your throat?
and could you sing me?
I don't know

flash of fire
04:33
|
|
||
you stood in the bar
with your cigarette lit
begging someone to put you down
drive your car across town
like a flash of fire
from a barbecue pit
when my hand was cut
blood sprayed your walls
you rushed to find me a bandage
if you were my friend
I never understood
you'd drive me to death
if you had the chance to
you would save me from it all
if you thought that you could
just by saying "Goodbye.
Don't be like me, friend."
if the world was just a cut
you were drowning it enough
to get everybody drunk
with that whiskey that you love
maybe you never learned a thing
maybe you're still the same old man
maybe you learned it all before
the day you and I met
I saw you selling groceries
wondered if you sing at all
wondered do you still get drunk
wondered will I see you soon?
I remember when you laughed
when I said goodbye to jessi
when I said "maybe I'd see her soon"
and I said "maybe never again"
do you still hold the magic fire?
do you still laugh at it at night?
do you still know the secret song?

something dies
02:58
|
|
||
vague answers
the flower's taste
on my blankets
tracing the wake of you
I'll get by without you
I'll be alright
when I think of you
something dies
in my heart
in my mind
paint it orange
I was wrong
it never happened
make it lost
I picture you walking
home alone
babe, who are you?
I thought I knew you

no tellin'
03:34
|
|
||
don't you listen to love
my friends
love don't ever make no sense
don't you follow the fading light
you won't never find
where it shines
no how
no tellin
nobody knows what's right
the soul
and heaven
the devil's in your eyes
don't you feel
the deep dark curse?
never misses a single word
don't you slow down
don't take a breath
the flood that follows
ain't holding back

smiled at the devil
03:27
|
|
||
was I naive to let you guide me?
you were so sure
I believed
I followed you into the fire
and we smiled at the devil
with no fear no reprisals
we smiled to his face
I awoke to no morning light
and you left me there alone
with the devil as my guide
you were gone
I was a fool
you sold me out to the devil
for a new tomorrow
that I'll never find
a new tomorrow
