Tell Me True
01:54
|
|
||
homeward bound
with
secrets to tell
long time since
we've
needed help
tell me true
did I hurt you
let me in
we begin again
tin foil hat
with
ghosts inside
speak their love
in
suicide
tell me true
did I hurt you
let me in
let me in
tell me true

This All Will End
03:15
|
|
||
I wish it were xmas
and I'm back at home
when my mother was alive
when the promise of family
was a language we spoke
and we thought there was enough time
the world seems so simple
when you haven't a clue
and you act as if you were a god
nothing can touch you
safety is for losers
what possibly could go wrong
nothing ever feels so right
like sleeping in your own bed
surrounded by treasures you found
that only you may possess
not knowing, someday, this all will end
so, your dreams are a message
a warning to you:
be gentle on the ice
you've been here before
and you know it's true
son, it's not worth a second try
because your skin is no measure
to who you are
we're all equally wild
and our names become heralds
to what we have done
not even a mother can deny
nothing ever feels so right
like sleeping in your own bed
surrounded by treasures you found
that only you may possess
not knowing, someday, this all will end
and I'm looking for xmas
and my way home
I wish my mother was alive
and the promise of family
true and unbroken
was more than a dream in my mind
nothing ever feels so right
like sleeping in your own bed
surrounded by treasures you found
that only you may possess
not knowing, someday, this all will end

Both Be Gone
02:02
|
|
||
there was something
in your kiss
something I
never felt before
a sudden freeze
shaking knees
you're tip toes
across the floor
I'm looking
every hour since
for a sign
that you're needing me
lonely heart
jigsawed apart
I'll help you find
the missing piece
I seen
your light
and I know
it won't be long
take a train
speak your name
and we'll both
be gone
we'll both be gone
|

In Case of Fire
02:26
|
|
||
There was something
Between your teeth
That wouldn't let you sleep
Such a shame it seems
That pulls you into the deep
And the light above
Slowly dims into a dot
Still, you call it a star
Even though you know it's not
This glass is so thin
You could break it with a word
You can tell me your plan
And I could tell you where it hurts
Every night we think
We've got it figured out
Then the sun shows up
We're talking too loud
|
||||
5. |
Why Can You Not
02:23
|
|
||
take the phone
off the hook
speak to me
face to face
tell the world
how we shook
how we shook
let our fears
go to seed
let us be
gone by dawn
call it luck
or make believe
there ghosts
in our house
there ghosts
in our house
ever stop
taking blame
wake up now
to the light
some day soon
we will change
we will change
there ghosts
in our house
there ghosts
in our house
there ghosts
in our house
there ghosts
in our house

Whirlpool
03:06
|
|
||
when there's nothing to do
just wait it out
that's some good advice, then
how does it help us now
there's something bigger than us
waking us up, every night
if heaven is just a word
why would we put up a fight
I can't keep up this pace with you
I can't keep up this pace with you
as the west burns down
I can see the smoke in the air
with a rumble overhead
ruins are beyond repair
why would we try
to wait it out, let's get away
magic won't, dreaming can't
help us escape
I can't keep up this pace with you
I can't keep up this pace with you
when there's nothing to do
just wait it out
that's some good advice, then
how does it help us now
I can't keep up this pace with you
I can't keep up this pace with you

Down Deep
02:38
|
|
||
whatever you want
you better speak up
show em where you hurt
but don't talk too much
you might not like what you find
when you dig down deep
there's one way to heaven
and one way back home
if you lose your way
listen to the aching in your bones
you might not like what you find
when you dig down deep
it's dark down there
sometimes is feels
like I am losing my mind
waiting for your signal
waiting for a sign
you might not like what you find
when you dig down deep
you might not like what you find
|

Here We Are
03:27
|
|
||
there ain't nothing I don't know
there ain't nothing I don't know
from the stars in heart
to the tickle in your toes
there ain't nothing I don't know
there ain't nothing I can't break
there ain't nothing I can't break
your nerves of steel
won't take this weight
there ain't nothing I can't break
here we are
once again
telling it like it is
here we are
once again
breaking the one thing
we can't fix
you're someone I still need
you're someone I still need
I quit my drinking
and I'm still so mean
you're someone I still need
here we are
once again
telling it like it is
here we are
once again
breaking the only thing
we can't fix
here's something you don't know
here's something you don't know
I quit keeping track
of the punches we've thrown
here's something you don't know
there's no one else for me
there's no one else for me
I tried hard but
I can't let it be
there's no one else for me
there's no one else for me

A Trick
02:48
|
|
||
the only time I saw you
you were talking to someone you knew
and I wanted nothing
but to be someone you were talking to
but a gentleman
he never stares
please tell me
how do I get out of here?
for a moment I thought
I thought this was a trick
I'm being taken for a ride
not even the devil would resist
but a gentleman
he never stares
please tell me
how do I get out of here?
If you're lonely
I'm lonely, too
Say you're lonely
I'm lonely
overhead I can hear
an angel laugh out loud
and I'm starting to think
maybe I should show myself out
but a gentleman
he never stares
please tell me
how do I get out of here?
please tell me
how do I make myself disappear?
|
||||

Miles Away
02:02
|
|
||
well it's all that I can do
to keep me talking to you
share a nighttime sky
via satellite
when we're miles away
when we're miles away
put your best face first
and tell me, "do your worst"
I'm stuck on your eyes
via satellite
when we're miles away
we're never miles away
we can share this time
we can both get by
and we can both get right
via satellite
when we're miles away
we're never miles away

Happy Returns
02:26
|
|
||
seas
trees
piles of leaves
where are you going next?
rhyme
time
end of the line
I can't catch my breath
so please return
please
birds
words
hugging the curves
I think I'm in love with you
best
guess
the heart does the rest
so please return
please
so please return
please
shells
bells
I won't tell
your secrets are safe with me
true
soon
the light of the moon
betwixt and in between
so please return
please
so please return
please

You
02:03
|
|
||
old invitations
sitting on my desk
never to be opened
a tribute to the past
you
you
you
people never change seems like
hearts are built to break
strong enough to last
but they rattle and they ache
you
you
you
I'm laying on my back
staring at the bedroom light
years and years
since your wedding night
you
you
you
|
||||
13. |
I Love You, So What?
02:55
|
|
||
I love you, so what?
Ain't nothing you can say
Nothing can change my mind
I love you, so what?
True and cool, you couldn't tell us apart
True and cool, now they're tearing us apart
You can tell me, why not?
Have I said too much?
I'll be quiet from here on out
You can tell me, why not?
True and cool, you couldn't tell us apart
True and cool, now they're tearing us apart
It doesn't hurt, too much
Only when I wake up
When what I miss hits me like a train
It doesn't hurt, too much
True and cool, you're tearing me apart
True and cool, you couldn't tell us apart
|

Last Night
03:21
|
|
||
ast night was the last chance to get out
all right, all rise to the question of doubt
better than I could ever do
whenever is never too soon
old news is the new phase to ride
back down, backwards the heart divides
better than I could ever do
whenever is never too soon
a guarantee
you don't have to sign
unspoken terms
just to keep it alive
holding back
is following suit
raising up
this world gone blue
better than I could ever do
when never is never too soon
I don't believe you believe
it's true
this is better than
I could do
|

I Will Not Miss You
02:38
|
|
||
I will not miss you
when you are gone
It's been
such a long wait
these years
we can't get back
but tomorrow
is another day
I will not miss you
I will not miss you
when you are gone
you lied about
your money
you lied about
your brains
what good
is this lying gonna do
you're gonna die
anyway
may you sleep
no more
may you always
be awake
and all the people
you ignored
someday
you'll share the same fate
I cannot miss you
when you leave
it's beyond my
control
turn the flag
right side up
let's rebuild
our home
I will not miss you
I will not miss you
when you are gone

The Way It Is
02:33
|
|
||
the way it is now
it doesn't have to be
you've got some free will
you've got my sympathy
nothing sticks to your ribs
everybody's heard
let me tell you again
we're awful sorry you hurt
the way it is
is the way it is
if it's true then it's true
I can't deny I ain't bulletproof
let's check each other's scars
and celebrate your youth
the way it is
is the way it is
how can you hold it together?
we have only just begun
there's talent in those bones
nervous is as nervous does
the way it is
is the way it is
|
||||
17. |
|
|||
you think it's so simple
anyone can do it
anyone could go
out of their mind
waves of static
from the t.v. set
and a kiss
before you go to bed
imagine you're floating
tied to nothing
your feet have become
a cloud of smoke
the wind is your sister
you're borne by her breath
and a kiss
before you go to bed
it's never that simple
no matter the price
you'll always be
just, who you are
for how we live
and what we said
and a kiss
before we go to bed
|

This World Longs for You
02:27
|
|
||
you weren't long for this world
now the world longs for you
to have your voice
cut through the noise
and the world longs for you
killing time was just a joke
and now the joke is on us
I can see your face
in the negative space
yeah, the joke is on us
how could it be
the streetlights still change?
how could it be
you were here yesterday?
how could it be
how could it be
no one gets to stay?
you weren't long for this world
and now this world longs for you
it was your heart
lit up this dark
now this world longs for you
now this world longs for you
|
||||
19. |
Whatever the Reason
02:28
|
|
||
what is the reason to fall in love?
pull down the walls let the barbed wire rust
breathe in deep
let it loose
let someone
see you for you
is there a place for old flames to go
return this life and become ghost
a table for two
still waiting for you
assume it's a lie
"I'll see you, tonight."
suddenly
it all makes sense
suddenly
we're all victims of circumstance
go on home and get some sleep
enjoy yourself it's later than you think
breathe out flames
no one will know
you let someone
see you for you
|
||||
20. |
Wake Up
02:25
|
|
||
wake up
I think it is time
to take up
the slack on this line
go overboard
asking for more
don't ask
if you don't want to know
be here
for the embers last glow
it's gotten late
I can't complain
for reasons
we can't understand
to break even
was always the plan
throw me a line
I'll hold on this time
|
||||
21. |
Goodbye, Boys
02:56
|
|
||
raise your hands
and talk to me
it ain't so bad
we can do anything
when we were young
we knew not a thing
it was full speed ahead
like we knew everything
on better days
I remember your name
running lights
your foot never on the brake
where are you?
did you make it out?
innocence
is nothing to complain about
|
||||
22. |
|
|||
ever since we split
you've toughened up
found your heart
covered it up
for good
that's no way to live
hidden away
beyond the crowd
wishing to stay
misunderstood
I've been
high a long time
I've been
high a long time
don't tell me the truth
lie to me
it wasn't my fault
we didn't agree
on much
if it isn't too much
to ask you again
read the letter I wrote
when I said
you were enough
I've been
high a long time
I've been
high a long time
|
||||
23. |
|
|||
we said nothing
about getting old
why won't time
go slow
someone once
was the first to go
still asleep
in the ice and snow
help me
leave this place
new lines
same old face
I'll stop at nothing
to get out
when Faith
gives way to Doubt
do you think anyone hears?
do you think anyone hears?
hallelujah
we're getting old
new skin
same old soul
deep inside
of you
so much work
left to do
do you think anyone hears?
do you think anyone hears?
|
||||
24. |
Restless
02:38
|
|
||
how many people can you kill
as you hit the door?
you're pulling levers, sight unseen
a personal killing floor
we're restless
get out
we're restless
get out
how many mountains can you crush
in the name of defense?
something built to rust
a tribute to caged innocents
we're restless
get out
we're restless
get out
there is no pardon
big enough
when time and truth
will be the judge
how many ways can you lie
before your teeth fall out?
and all your people they go broke
while you choke with their money in your mouth
we're restless
get out
we're restless
get out
get out
get out
get out
|

Everybody Knew
03:16
|
|
||
after all this,
you were shooting off your mouth
saying that it's true
doesn't make it true
there ain't nothing
as lonesome as a lie
made small by
the burden of proof
one day you'll know
everybody knew
you'll be telling me
'cause I couldn't tell you
what is real
when you never learned to see
as the song goes
everything is free
you believe your fingers
have that old Midas touch
but gold alone
ain't worth too much
one day you'll know
everybody knew
you'll be telling me
'cause I couldn't tell you
wear out your welcome
let everyone stare
the new you
the wink, the nod, the prayer
if it's happenstance
what could you do
it's good to be
alive anywhere
one day you'll know
everybody knew
you'll be telling me
'cause I couldn't tell you
|

26. |
Run Around
03:32
|
|
||
leave the tv on
it helps me sleep
turn the volume up
I'm asking please
tell me who I am
don't leave me naked
cover me up tonight
leave me shaken
bite your lip
don't make a sound
we've been living
a run around
back light your alibi
ain't no one seeing clear
from a month to a day
to a week from a year
bite your lip
don't make a sound
we've been living
a run around
bite your lip
don't make a sound
we've been living
a run around
are you still there?
you're just a ghost on the line
telling me good luck
from the other side
bite your lip
don't make a sound
we've been living
a run around
|

27. |
Next Year
03:55
|
|
||
before we get out of here
I'll see you next year
please keep me in mind
when you sing auld lang syne
if I'm somewhere else
and you are all by yourself
I'll lift a drink to you
and make a toast to the moon
there's nothing we can't change
when we meet face to face
we see each other's eyes
and make a shared sacrifice
cause everything we own
is everything we owe
until everything we've earned
equals all we deserve
before we get out of here
I'll see you next year
I'll keep you in mind
while I'm singing auld lang syne
if you're somewhere else
and you are by yourself
lift a drink to me
toast the stars and the sea
|
||||
28. |
Spilled
03:24
|
|
||
tell me what you'll do
I can barely read your mind
let me guess, "too soon?"
it's gonna be a long while
until we spill everything
take apart these words
hold 'em up to the sun
pay me what I'm worth
and you can kiss anyone
until we spill everything
we'll have to wait this out
if we never talk again
that's nobody's fault
take a lost weekend
re-learn how to walk
until we spill everything
we'll have to wait this out
we'll have to wait this out
and it's such a small world
that keeps us attached
by a string of pearls
and a nod to the past
until we spill everything
we'll have to wait this out
we'll have to wait this out
|
||||
29. |
Slipped
02:35
|
|
||
what are we doing with each other?
a witness to each other's fall
how can we say this didn't happen?
as our hearts stutter and stall
talk about me to your brother
tell him I'm okay
you're keeping me out of trouble
I'm giving you a place to stay
where are we going?
where?
where are we going?
where?
I slipped into your bedroom
I never found my way out
I listened for your foot steps
I'm forever waiting around
where are we going?
where?
where are we going?
where?
|
||||
30. |
Perfect Past
02:31
|
|
||
tear yourself away from this
I checked twice, we didn't make the list
light a candle for those weary bones
we'll catch up later on the telephone
someone tell me what it means
you're always sleeping and you never dream
I put a price on being true
so high no one followed through
now I'm back to, "what's the point?"
bitter drinks and copper coins
someone tell me what it's for
you're always talking with your eyes on the door
a pattern rich with dividing lines
you measured once and you still cut twice
imagine if we could take it back
here's a toast to the perfect past
someone tell me what it does
other than smoke, spark, and buzz
|
||||
31. |
It Is Done
02:42
|
|
||
it is done
it is done
it is done
your magic no longer works on me
I've arrived at a place
where I believe
your magic no longer works on me
the words that were once a spell
disappeared into thin air
they no longer compel
the words that were once a spell
that touch that laid me low
paralyzed my heart
it's now turning cold
that touch that laid me low
your magic no longer works on me
I've arrived at a place
where I believe
your magic no longer works on me
it is done
it is done
it is done

The Only One
03:34
|
|
||
it wouldn't take too much
you could do it with ease
it's never too late
to do the right thing
to roll up your sleeves
to close your eyes
to breathe in deep
to compromise
you're not the only one, alive
you're not the only one, alive
who was it who hurt you?
who turned your blood to salt?
left yo lonely in the dark
with a rage that can only be taught
and everything that you see
no need to ask to touch
and to apologize
is to self destruct
you're not the only one, alive
you're not the only one, alive
with the root buried that deep
you think you will stand your ground
but there's a fire coming
and no safety in that crowd
it wouldn't take too much
you could do it with ease
it's never too late
to do the right thing
|

I'm Sorry I Missed You
02:41
|
|
||
you back so soon
it's like you never left
and you're gonna tell me
what happens next
I'm sorry that I missed you
sorry I missed you
I'm sorry I missed you
sorry I missed you
and the days stretch
into nights
are you getting back in bed
with me, or what?
morning is almost here
it's on the tip of my tongue
I'm sorry I missed you
sorry I missed you
sorry I missed you
I'm sorry I missed you
sorry I missed you
sorry I missed you
I'm sorry I missed you
sorry I missed you
sorry I missed you
are you sorry you missed me?

Upfront
03:01
|
|
||
give me a chance
I won't tell you nothing
but the truth
life moves fast
when you wake up old
your skins gone loose
how is it feeling
with all that weight
you carry by yourself
someone I knew
told me, "everyone
has a price."
I paid upfront
now you won't
look me in the eyes
how is it feeling
with all that weight
you carry by yourself
remind me again
why we try
and how we win
we all fade away
holding out
for holding hands
how is it feeling
with all that weight
you carry by yourself
how is it feeling
with all that weight
you carry by yourself
|

35. |
I Will Tell You
04:24
|
|
||
why you wasting my time
when there ain't much left?
when you're getting short
everything moves quick
if you know me, you know
I'll tell you everything
if you know me,
I will tell you everything
where I hid the gold
that was our first kiss
why I called it off
a lover dismissed
you've got some nerve telling
me I don't understand
that half of this hour glass
is running out of sand
if you know me, you know
I'll tell you everything
if you know me,
I will tell you everything
it's only special if
someone catches it on tape
and if no one hears it
it's as good as erased
if you know me, you know
I'll tell you everything
if you know me,
I will tell you everything
|

What It's Like
02:29
|
|
||
or maybe it'll be alright
there's a dozen other ways to feel
than taken by surprise
by the last card revealed
putting up with your pride
I'm using you as a shield
and someday, maybe
you could tell me
what it's like
on the other side
truly, heaven has no gates
everyone's on time
everywhere is open late
and someday, maybe
you could tell me
what it's like
to be free
could you walk it back with me
show me the steps
a path back home
I will kiss you in the present tense
and someday, maybe
you could tell me
what it's like
to be free
