lowrey 03:12
lyrics
i never knew you in this other life we never lived i couldn’t save you keep those wisdom teeth from coming in i left you alone in that chair your biggest fear is on its way out go the lights, goodnight back to the life we never lived sometimes i see you we never talk, you never look at me i wanna meet you but i chose my path, can’t put your mind at ease

city lights 04:30
lyrics
another day goes by i still can’t find you lonely nights in my head i can’t wash them away but there is another one she makes my lungs burn she’ll keep me here on earth until you return claim your prize it’ll be here waiting runner up, winner’s on vacation it’s you close your eyes so you don’t see me leaving i can’t think this has got me reeling it’s you i don’t really even love you but you don’t seem to care city streets, saw them in my sleep but i can’t find them city lights, burning big and bright but now i don’t know where i am city love, just a dirty dove in this nightmare city breeze, what a tease in this hot and humid night air change of plans can’t see through the madness little things make it much more tragic it’s you got no faith as you stand beside me i can’t be free i won’t land on my feet it’s you

eyedrops 03:03
lyrics
sometimes i think i should ask for help when i look into a mirror i don’t see myself but the clouds split open and the sun comes through it melts my face and i think of you i smell your scent and i feel your touch but i lost that picture we both loved so much a bum comes over and licks his chops i look into his eyes and he reads my thoughts and i don’t know why you can’t say what’s on your mind we’ve been through this what seems like 1000 times i gotta talk right now i gotta get it out i got a secret and a weakness but i can never get through to you the kids out playing they’ll all soon be men the worlds flipped over and its spring again but they cant grow if the world stays dry i push too hard and make you cry your tears run down and hit their heads they sprout right up and now too big for their beds but they’ve only got this one chance you gotta stop and let then have this dance

birthday girl 03:05
lyrics
it’s your birthday girl and i’ve got nothing but these simple words for you i’ve found my one the only one the only girl for me let me see your smile and we’ll take it on a plane across the sea falling from the sky you don’t have to be afraid cause i can fly i’ll take that plane and right the wings and land you on the ground we’ll have our own place soon and have a dog, maybe twins nothing can stop us now we’ll work for jesus freaks and ride the whole night until dawn the sun will explode and we’ll go home show me something new i’ve lost my way and i can’t make it back to you underwater now i’m blowing bubbles i know that i can’t drown blast me off right through the clouds don’t ever ask my why

fugitive nurse 05:34
lyrics
sometimes i feel like i’m falling gravity’s calling he says the things he thought he’d have the time to say i don’t wanna live in it nightly but then i know you the things you won’t find i know you won’t find running, running by moonlight chasing the light they gave, the night, the day why did you cover your face?

tiny little void 04:21
lyrics
another life, another lover, another dream and away all the pieces they fall like the mirror on the wall you’re gonna sleep on the long ride home it all comes back to you i’ll only be lonely tomorrow tonight i’ve got too much to do it rolls on by me i didn’t want you i want you i’m homeless too i’m lonely only at night inside it warmed me now it warned me now i wanted every night with you i wanted to i’m lonely too i’m only empty now in this tiny little void 2 more drinks, 10 more dollars, fly overnight and away all these places dissolve into that big gray cloud before you sleep on the short flight home it’ll all come back to you a quiet seat, a rooftop summer, his little feet pitter patter all through your head you feel you’d be better dead before you fall and hit the ground it’ll all come back to you

there she goes 04:02
lyrics
i wanna have all the answers so i can tell you how this should go i need to know…where’s my lover? there she goes there she goes i can’t find a reason why you don’t wanna come back home you flew out the window the wind it picked you up and tossed you around it fed your delusion and now you float on through every season the sun it never sets (but it brings me down) but it brings me down to your level the afterglow is all that snow where you plan to go i can’t follow please don’t go please don’t go

it's over 03:48
lyrics
the biggest desert each little grain of sand slips through your hand right back to you and me between your toes it seems to dry your skin and your bones back into the dust that you started from when i say it’s over i mean it when you call my name i don’t hear it when i fade away into the sands of time just a thought in the blink of an eye i don’t want to go alone pacific ocean it reaches out with it’s hand pulls you underneath the salty foam underwater swimming upside down and you’re older now and your life is gone before you even tried

hold on 05:02
lyrics
maybe i don’t love maybe i don’t grow maybe i’m not fresh maybe i don’t show maybe i’m not smart maybe i’m no fun maybe i’m a ghost maybe i’m a road hold on

sleep in dreams 03:53
lyrics
the night that you died i couldn’t cry i didn’t wanna be the one to hold you i didn’t wanna be the one to tell you that it would be ok in other words i didn’t wanna lie and i try to remember but i can’t see your face anymore i couldn’t hold it i couldn’t hold it i couldn’t hold onto you sleep in my memories sleep in my memories asleep in my dreams asleep in my dreams the night i awoke and saw your ghost i didn’t wanna hear the things you told me i didn’t wanna see the world before me the night that i died took me by surprise all i wanted was someone to hold me all i wanted was someone to tell me that it would be ok that i was fine and wasn’t gonna die
