Move Along

You think that I need someone else in my life to control me?
You think that i need someone else in my life to be happy?
Well you're wrong, dead wrong, just who do you think that you are?
I was once down in life, with everyday thoughts in the sorrow.
I was looking for love, or some other person to borrow.
But i was wrong, dead wrong,
It only got me into trouble,
I was wrong, dead wrong.
I listened real close to my heart.
If you see me around town, i wont wear a frown, ill be grinnin'.
Cause I've learned through the years, life ain't about winning.
you'll be down, sometimes you'll lose.
Some days you'll be singin' the blues.
But this life aint' something you choose,
its something you're given,
Move along is all that you have to do.

Without You
02:43

To be without you
and live next door
to hear your footsteps
walk out that door
to hear his laughter
in the drunken night.
to feel my anger, cause i said goodbye.
To be without you
is more than i can take
upset stomach
think i need a break
step out the front door
cause you know i tried
and never come home
find a place to hide
find a place to hide,
and you were, ya you know you were,
you were, you were always right.
and you were, ya you know you were,
ya you were, you were always right,
but i said goodbye.
to be without you
and live next door
to hear your footsteps
walk out that door
to be alone in
on a Friday night
to feel my sorrow
cause I said goodbye.
cause I said goodbye.
and you were, ya you know you were,
you were, you were always right.
and you were, ya you know you were,
ya you were, you were always right.
but i said goodbye.
but i said goodbye.
but i said goodbye.

I Can't Love You Anymore
04:04

I Cant love you anymore,
You're too easy, I'm unsure.
I cant love you anymore,
it hurts but I know that its worth it,
I cant need you, like i did
Maybe I was going through some shit,
to think that we were good,
when all you did was make me anxious.
Hold on, I'm almost there..
Hold on, I'm waiting in the wings.
Will you be there when I need you most?
Will you love me when i cant love myself at all?
I cant do this anymore
its not easy that's for sure
all I've gotten out of love,
is a slap in the ass by a rubber glove.
its a toxic sort of bliss.
but I push you away through all this shit.
just to feel your little touch.
when i know its gone that's when i call your bluff,
Hold on, I'm almost there..
Hold on, I'm waiting in the wings.
Will you be there when I need you most?
Will you love me when i cant love myself at all?
I cant love you anymore
we were perfect, that's for sure
when you woke up you said you cried
but I've already said goodbye
if its worth it then you'll know.
But for now i just don't think we'll know for sure,
its time to fly,
and lets think about it
you wont even have to try.
Hold on, I'm almost there..
Hold on, I'm waiting in the wings.
Will you be there when i'm not myself?
Hold on, I'm almost there..
Hold on, I'm waiting in the wings.
Will you be there when I need you most?
Will you be there when i'm not myself at all?
at all...
at all...

Hold On
03:25

Move on, leave what we got here,
move on, move on from me.
go on, and let me rot here.
go on, go on and leave.
You had it your hands,
you suddenly realize,
was it worth the price?
you came in with a plan.
you suddenly realize,
was it worth the price?
Hold on to rushing waters.
Hold on, hold on to me.
you had it in your hands,
you suddenly realize,
was it worth the price?
you came in with a plan.
you suddenly realize,
was it worth the price?
of a broken heart?
you had it all in your hands.
Hold on to all your lovers.
Hold on, take it from me,
Hold on to what you've got there.
Hold on or one day you'll see.
you had it in your hands,
you suddenly realize.
was it worth the price?
you came in with a plan.
you suddenly realize,
was it worth the price?
of a broken heart?
you had it all in your hands
and then you threw it away...

All last summer in case you don't recall
I was your and you were mine forget it all
Is there a line that I could write
Sad enough to make you cry
All the lines you wrote to me were lies
The months roll past the love that you struck dead
Did you love me? Only in my head.
Things you said and did to me
Seemed to come so easily
The love I thought I'd won you give for free
Whispers at the bus stop
Well I heard about nights at the school yard
I found out about you
Rumours follow everywhere you go
And when you left I was last to know
You're famous now and there's no doubt
In all the places you hang out
They know your name and know what you're about
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
I found out about you
Street lights blink on through the car window
I get the time too often on AM radio
You know it's all I think about
I write your name drive past your house
Your boyfriend's over I watch your lights go out
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you

Two jumps in a week
I bet you think that's pretty clever, don't you boy?
Flying on your motorcycle
Watching all the ground beneath you drop
Kill yourself for recognition
Kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror
You're turning into something you are not
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Drying up in conversation
You will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces
You just sit there wishing you could still make love
They're the ones who'll hate you
When you think you've got the world all sussed out
They're the once who'll spit at you
You'll be the one screaming out
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Oh, it's the best thing that you ever had
The best thing you ever, ever had
It's the best thing that you ever had
The best thing you have had is gone away
D-don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry

Ego
03:41
|

|
To be young and dumb and bored with it
is to break the false entitlement,
we are meant for something better than what we're given.
and to break the walls you had bent
would be to find a loophole in the mend
just to realize you're never there to begin with.
and now I'm
i'm burning meanwhile you're
you're turning everything it means to be in love.
when we had it all I knew we'd fall
cause my ego is insufferable
throwing fits of rage locked in a cage called the ego.
now I'm
i'm burning meanwhile you're
your're turning everything it means to be in love around,
but maybe, i'd forgotten what you mean to me
and maybe a sorry wont suffice,
maybe I've rolled the dice one too many times.
now i'm,
i'm burning meanwhile you're
you're turning everything it means to be in love around
got your life story you're prepared for glory
you know what it means to be in love.
Got your life story
and you know your glory
everything you've done is all for you.
got your life story
you're prepared for glory
you know
what it means to be
what it means to be oh yea
what it means to be in love.

I want you slowly under my skin
i need you badly, this pain that i'm in
i wont be angry anymore.
i'm falling up.
what do I do about your love?
i'm falling up,
what do i do, you make me smile.
i'm falling up, what do i do?
you make me smile,
under my cheeks my heart is racing.
you're my drug i'm craving, yea.
i'm falling up
what do I do about your love?
i'm falling up,
what do i do, you make me smile.
i'm falling up, what do i do?
We all wanna love, but we can't love ourselves,
we look for answers about our health,
but no ones really there.
no ones really trying to listen or be calm.
i'm falling up
what do I do about your love?
i'm falling up,
what do i do, you make me smile.
i'm falling up, what do i do?

Worried Sick
04:55

All you had and now its lost,
swinging from the tired hands of a clock
you swore you wanted to be more than this.
Do you feel like you're lost?
or everyone has just taken a separate course?
i do not think you know the cost of this.
I'm worried.
I'm worried sick.
I'm worried.
I'm worried sick about this,
You're the judge and i'm on trial (I'm not coming back)
Waking in the afterbirth of sweet denial (everything is a mess)
the puzzle never fits the way it should with me in my head.
I'm worried.
I'm worried sick.
I'm worried.
I'm worried sick about this,
All the times I've been angry
the times I've been happy
the times I've been jealous and sad.
or the times I've been happy
the times I've been grateful
the memories that aren't so bad,
with all the time we have left
lets love each other to death.
I wish we could live forever tied to strings of angels wings.

Your Song

Driving through the plains of Illinois
and life is moving slow.
sun is going down and the clouds are trying to steal the show.
the air is warm and that's cause spring is here, summers closest friend.
the moisture in the air indicates the rain it will send.
all alone there is this peace I've found in the vastness out here.
there's this clarity in my mind like God saying "Have no fear"
I'm coming home from all the work we've done, putting on a show.
I fell in love so fast as the days go past i wish you didn't go.
It was a quiet town not much around, but to me it felt like home.
Unaware about the impact it would have on my soul.
and on the way down to Chicago Wilco's 'Whole Love' got us high.
stopped and I pointed out that the bakery shop had a pretty cool sign.
you laughed and said I haven't had it yet we should give it a try.
Few months later saw us burning through our final goodbyes.
on the drives i'd take to and from your place and we'd talk all night.
we sat in silence with your hands on mine and that look in your eye.
The night i drove too slow but made it past the train tracks in time.
the metaphorical of our everyday life like everything's fine.
I could drive forever down those roads with no where to go.
down the highways and the back-roads of the towns we'd once known.
the feeling of a car with the gas tank full and the freedom that comes with it.
memories of that bold 21 year old going to the next show...

Walked out to see the moon last night
what a feel...
and in the sky it shone so bright.
so it was such a big deal.
we snuck atop a chocolate shop
to get a better view
i looked around at all the people.
i wonder if they knew?
I hope you stay warm in Michigan.
I hope every bridge you burn ignites the way in where you should turn.
i'm in my head again.
talking to a friend.
he's pissed cause it never works out.
I try and reason with him.
I know when one thing ends another begins.
i know when one thing ends another begins.
i know one when one door closes another opens.
I hope you stay warm in Michigan
I hope every bridge you burn ignites the way in where you should turn,
wont someone save me?
wont someone save me?
wont someone save me?
wont someone save me?
