- Track Name: The Dog-eared Years
-
I could be your souvenir. I can be your dog-eared years.
To keep you coming back, to keep you looking forward,
I’ll never change a word I said
I can be your ampersand. I can be your next sentence.
So put words in my mouth, fill up my speech balloons,
with all the words you wanna hear.
I can be your chapter 1. I can be a blank white page.
So write down what you want, I’ll be your confidant,
and no one’s gonna edit me out
I can put this car in drive, and you can be my Italy,
but I’m not sure that we’d get there.
Or we can spend the day in bed,
make promises we’ll never keep,
but I’m quite sure that we’ll mean them.
I can be your reason why, and you can be my alibi,
But I’m not built to last.
I can be like Johnny was, if you can cope like Junie did,
But I’m not sure that you'll want it.
I can be the line you’ve drawn. You can cross me like a T.
So spell it out for me, that I need your company,
and you’re the only font I can read.
I can be your typewriter. We can bang out any verse.
Or we can just bang, I’m panging for those hips,
you’re everything I’ve ever missed.
You can be my masterpiece. If I can make this last plot twist.
You’ll walk right off the page, and prove my life’s a stage,
I’ll never be your empty cup. - Track Name: Find Me Out
-
Find Me Out,
I’m no mystery.
A girl like you
Can conquer any man.
So take what’s mine,
I give it all away.
And all of my words,
will ring like poetry
your body writes
as you walk in and out of my life.
A fool learns nothing from the road he’s on
Digs a hole and calls it home
My frigid feet can’t walk it out
I Bruised my knuckles on your open door.
Now my heart’s a dizzy satellite
Miles away from where I wanna be
I told my heart,
to break this cage of bone,
to grow wings
and find a better home.
I bite my tongue,
and let them slip away.
they’re married now,
with babies on the way.
You’re last in line,
you’d think I’d make a move, this time - Track Name: It's Alright It's Not Right
-
I can’t coax a statue,
So liven up, it’s time to make a move.
The cup is always half full.
Drink me down or fill me up right now.
You’re sleeping in a bed of lies.
And my tongue is the match to burn it down.
But half of you is not enough.
And all of me is not enough for you.
I know that look in your guilty eyes.
Read it like pre-goodbye. A Post-hello, again.
You can’t blame a clock for the tick of time.
So just hold on while it winds you up and changes everything.
Sing another song, and write another book,
and promise not to call you out, by name.
A bed too big, a night too long,
the price that we pay to call, this love.
To know you like a fact, to hold you like a flame,
and never have to feel the burn, of him.
Can’t blame paths for crossing.
Your Path is a knot now in mine.
Time it is a thief and
love will tear us all apart in time.
I know there’s someone else but,
standing here I can’t see through you.
It’s alright it’s not right. It’s alright it’s not right.
It’s alright it’s not right.
Oh your eyes are talking.
Oh my eyes are hearing you just fine. - Track Name: Hearts in the Snow
-
They’re laying bricks around you.
Soon they’ll be at your door.
They’re gonna leave you colder,
than hearts in the snow.
... Than hearts in the snow.
I’m hauling them off of you.
But you wouldn’t know.
The wolf is at the door now.
And you let him in.
... And you let him in.
I set a trap to catch them,
but you walked right in.
They’re gonna leave you colder,
Than hearts in the snow. - Track Name: Your Alvy Singer
-
I had eyes like a fuse not lit
And you Had Eyes Like Quicksand
Tea on your skirt and a book in your hand
Like every place I’ve never been
I set sail on your heart and got lost
Now I’m never coming back
You sleep with your head in my shoulder blades
Tracing words on my shoulder
Ask me to guess and I never get it right
Spill your secrets there
It only took a night with you, to change the world I’m in
You pulled the curtain the sun poured in
I'm an open door for you. Pack a bag and stay
I stood like a statue so long
Kiss me like a Molotov and blow the world away
Swing those hips like a wrecking ball
I like the freckles on your face And the way
they rain all over your body
I want every inch of you
Until my fingerprints are gone
I'll keep you like a secret
and lose you like the blues
You’re every plan that I could make
you’re every promise I won’t Break
Fuck the rain flick on a film
Jiffy pop and Cabernet
I can be your alvy singer
You can be Yo Adrian - Track Name: Kiss Me Like you Have to [Temporarily Disabled]
-
Call it like I see it.
See it like a blind man.
Play the broken record.
I can sing it by heart.
Keep me like a secret
Break me like a promise
I am just a fortune
spent on wanting your life
Ohh.Ohh.Ohh.Ohh
I don’t need a reason:
God is dead and love’s blind.
The only bible I need
is how your body moves mine.
Running out of reasons
to trust the wish in your well
love me like you have to,
kiss me like a need to
Ohhh.
If I’m your castaway,
then what does that make him,
an island that you’re on
miles away from home.
I’m everywhere but there,
The water’s in my lungs.
Call it like I see it
see it like a blind man
held you like the wind and
lost you like a childhood.
Spend you like a fortune
turn you into gold and
cash in on your body,
get rich in your bedroom.
Ohh. Ohh. Ohh. Ohh.
Know there is a man who
sees you like he used to:
play me like a record
sing along without me.
Nights are getting longer.
Days are spilling into
Deep wells that we wish in
You’re every coin that I have
Looking for you now in
every girl that I meet but
you are never in there
they’re just a ghost to haunt me. - Track Name: Wiser men [Temporarily Disabled]
-
I’m not saying that I’m your kind of man. (But I am)
You keep trying to give my heart a chance (why wait)
You keep sayin’ that my love is a curse (and it is)
I keep joking that your heart is a hurse (it kills me)
But life ain’t nothin’ until you found someone (to die for)
Not too young and not too hung I know (So-rry)
But I have got a miner’s heart of gold (for you)
I keep thinking that your heart is a crook (stole mine)
I’m just sayin that life’s too short to lie (with him)
I keep waiting like a star too shine (for you)
And I don’t care that your wasting all my time (it’s yours)
Oh they say I am fool but wiser men have been struck dumb by you.
And I love. I don’t love them. I fact, I kinda hate them.
Love is not. Devotion. It’s a feeling. So Leave Your Man.
I might be a fucking fool, but I’m that fool for you.
Made your life a mess but I will clean it up
I know that you married him, but things do change
Tell it on the mountain that started as a hill
Love is only hard so that you will move on
Writings on the wall, and I wrote it there.
Count to three
It’s that easy - Track Name: Soften My Bones [Temporarily Disabled]
-
He calls my house, like it’s all my fault that time claims every thing.
He bruised my face and I wore it well: but that’s no lover’s badge.
You can’t hide truth in a town this small: or in two eyes like yours.
So walk away
Don’t walk away.
It’s coming to the end, you’re crawling in my bed,
and I could never play this part.
You're looking for a friend, and crying on my chest,
and he could never dry those eyes
You run to your second best
I’m shouting at a wall, i’m talking to myself,
you never hear a single word
You're body is a gun, you put it to my head,
you know that I won't say no
Hold your smile to my throat.
Your hair is in my face, we’re throwing off the sheets,
the whole world is in this room.
You're sighing my name, you soften my bones,
so I can never walk away.
It's no way to make me stay
My hungry hands want every inch of every part of you
My Hungry heart is never full, are never full of you.
You soak your smile in, kerosene:
you know the moth will come.
But fire burns, one lover down:
a fresh wind always wins.
Love’s not fair for anyone:
except lucky and the dumb.
Bite a bullet, shoot me down:
I’ll miss your starry eyes.
Now walk away
Don’t walk away
It’s coming to the end, you’re crawling in my bed,
and I could never play this part.
You're looking for a friend, and crying on my chest,
and he could never dry those eyes
You run to your second best
I’m shouting at a wall, i’m talking to myself,
you never hear a single word
You're body is a gun, you put it to my head,
you know that I won't say no
Hold your smile to my throat.
Your hair is in my face, we’re throwing off the sheets,
the whole world is in this room.
You're sighing my name, you soften my bones,
so I can never walk away.
It's no way to make me stay
My hungry hands want every inch of every part of you
My Hungry heart is never full, are never full of you.
What if there's a time, what if there's a place.
I can take you back to that just say you want it.
I can built the bridge you need to get past this.
I know I was wrong, but I know what you want.
I can be the wish, you hid, in the bottle.
Listen to your heart, you know that you'll hear me.
I could have held the door, I could have loved you more:
It’s the little things It’s the little things
You put a hook in my, you hauled me from the sea
I was a bag of gold I was a rubber boot
You were fireworks, and I had all the words
I waited way too long, I waited way too long - Track Name: Every Heart is a Whore [Temporarily Disabled]
-
So you know,
just enough to know you don’t know a thing
about the man
lying in your bed.
Nights are long,
years can spill like coffee,
leave a stain on your life,
no one sees but you.
Me or him, doesn’t matter anyway,
time will blind us both and,
leave you in the dark.
I’m not,
trying to claim a treasure.
But you caught me looking,
and I know what I found.
I’m all yours and you’re half mine.
Take another second try.
Now that we’re found out.
There’s no one to blame.
Every heart’s a whore.
Every girl wants more.
Every bed sleeps two.
Every man wants you.
Regret,
hits you like a rock thrown:
don’t stand there and take it,
clap your feet and run.
Time turns, everything to sand and,
love is no exception; love me while I’m stone.
Bruise your love, let me tear your world up,
trust me like a prophet: he’s not right for you.
Took a vow. Long before I knew your name.
Long before I knew how you, blew steam from your tea. - Track Name: Blind like Love [Temprarily Disabled]
-
We’ll pin the wish back on the star,
and if it falls this time I swear I’ll quit
You’re flipping coins and choosing sides
and staying the man who found you first
And so you sew those angel wings
to your deadbeat man like you think they might stay
And I will stick my devil’s tail between my legs
and be on my way
I’m searching under heavy stones
for one clear reason why you might stay
I keep falling. I keep falling, for your greedy heart.
You keep calling. You keep calling, like a pantomine
Your heart’s a bird, your ribs a cage, and it can’t get out
your tongue’s a match, My words’ a flame, till he snuffs it out.
Crow on a wire, doe in the field, till they shoot us down.
Liar,
dragged you through the fire
Crying cause’ your feet your.
Your heart
is buried beneath your bone
and you won’t let it back out
It’s coming through the wire loud and clear,
it’s gonna rattle through my bones
It’s crashing off these banks of bone,
that red river will guide it to its home
The part of you in every part of me you need to claim,
you have claimed
You’re anchored where it counts,
every current was a path we cannot take
It’s layer upon layer upon layer of a plan we didn’t break
Call it what you want, you leave it in the rain,
you fly it like a kite, the wind is changing anyway
Comet in the sky, falling hard tonight,
looking for a fight, it’s gonna miss us anyway.
Boy is crying wolf, wolf is in the yard,
the boy is on the fence, the sheep is happy anyway
You’re keeping what you want,
and taking what you need,
you’re breaking the glass, and calling an emergency.
Your face is like the sun, I’m staring too long,
I’m blind like love, But I can’t look away
A million other stars, a galaxy to mine,
it’s a long way up, when you break those promises
