one false kiss and i'll shoot
I've made a map out of a noose
and I've been so foreign
I've lost my way
tell me who tell me who
you still in love?
straight words upfront
pretty tongue
and I've been so foreign
I've lost my way
last in first out
you know the talk
words are words
until we're caught
and I've been so foreign
I've lost my way
and I've been so frightened
I've lost my shape

kill the lights
04:11
|

|
take another ride
and you ease down slow
gonna give up tonight
like you said you would
another cut across
wreck like you know
gonna kill the lights
like when we were young
be still
and breathe
you fall down hard
with a heavier sound
spinning to a stop
and wrong side down
there's a number in your mind
it's the big thirteen
assembled by god
still turning out mean
be still
and breathe
using the light
a new way to hide
you can grow some wings
or learn how to sink
and you ought to know
the first shot is free
you ought to know
by looking at me
be still
and breathe

count to ten
02:35
|

|
wherever the hurt
I felt it first
just under the skin
back behind the heart
call out my name
throughout the game
whatever the cost
well it's not that much
you're back into the light
and cold to the touch
call out my name
throughout the game
close your eyes tight
and count to ten, again
whatever happens
man, you gotta stay cool
there's no reason to fail
when you make up the rules
call out my name
throughout the game
close your eyes tight
and count to ten

cycle
03:53

ride away slow
don't let them see you
staring back
into the belly of your heart
I promise not to laugh
let everything fall away
I stayed home from work
just to watch you dance
maybe she was wrong
you know she never seems to talk
what about my heart
don't you think I know my parts
I sing 'em just for you
let it fall apart
and throw it in the streets
and let every cycle repeat

trouble
02:45
|
|||
|
you bite your tongue
when you talk that fast
sometimes love needs
to take a rest
no matter how loud you shout
we fall in love, it's trouble now
passing time
watching you grow
no one says
you got to go it alone
but what you said
spelled out clear
I don't need you
half as near
no matter how loud you shout
we fall in love, it's trouble now
with both our hearts
and all my luck
I never thought
we'd break down this much
|

surprise collapse
03:04
|
|||
|
barely there after all
waiting for another shot
hope becomes a dangerous word
point to point contact
hardwired for collapse
breaking up with a laugh
turn out the lights
I want to be alone
a wore out surprise
better than you'd expect
returns on all you spent
feel free to burn all the rest
heart to heart combat
getting right with your past
smile on regret
turn out the lights
I want to be alone
a wore out surprise
|

dirt and sparks
03:23
|
|||
|
maybe we'd be satisfied
you know, we never really tried
and sometimes love
costs too much
for way too long
and days gone wrong
we build up nothing
with nothing but dirt and sparks
stayed too late
and burned to long
we're trouble when we get along
I'll take back words but nothing that I meant
you're last card played
really shook my faith
I buckled under all of that weight
all I can do is sit and hold my breath
for way too long
and days gone wrong
we build up nothing
with nothing but dirt and sparks
breathing hard
and barely used
we learn to shout and ignore the truth
your give and take is only a matter of pride
|
||||
8. |
yes
02:19
|
|||
|
wait
we can both share the heart
laugh
we're only one step apart
heavier things can be moved
lost
you were someone once
dance
like you was alone
heavier things can be proved
|
||||
9. |
all we say
02:37
|
|||
|
who knows the truth
when you fight back, "cool"
and you fight back, "heart"
goodbye
it's all we ever say is
goodbye
fools in love
and you're waking up
and you're keeping score
you bring back to life
what you never wanted
you never tried
lost and confined
anybody else
would be just fine
wave for wave
man overboard
swept away, goodbye
it's all we ever say is
goodbye
and I'm so tired of waving
so tired of waving, goodbye

carried by birds
03:18
|
|||
|
it's no accident
catching stares from a ghost
bottle tops and broken teeth
a summer spent alone
carried by birds
that no longer sing
we fell so easy
you'd hardly believe
you left too much out
there's nothing left to kiss
you think it's heavy now
we're only half way in
carried by birds
that no longer sing
we fell so easy
you'd hardly believe
from out on high
a place you never go
calling out names
you used to know
carried by birds
that no longer sing
we fell so easy
you'd hardly believe
|
||||
11. |
it's okay
02:03
|
|||
|
first, you gotta slow it down
before you say another word,
It's okay
piece by piece
you gotta find the sides
before you say another word
it's okay
okay,
I was looking at you
before you say another word
it's okay, alright
|

12. |
everybody wins
01:54
|
|||
|
you took everything
worth its weight
all that's left
is me and my name
everybody wins
it's just a matter of time
and all those words
we never really meant
fighting each other
claiming self defense
everybody wins
it's just a matter of time
sleeping all alone
doesn't seem that bad
I heard you found
what you never had
everybody wins
it's just a matter of time
sometimes
I think about you
one thing you said
certainly is true
everybody wins
it's just a matter of time
