1 - What You Thought
Letting go is easy,
but once you look back you're lost,
and I tried to tell you how not to waste my time...
Yesterday I left you,
and today it cost,
and it's sweet to see how we choose to remember...
What was it you thought you saw in me?
What was it you thought you saw in me?
Now my time is empty
at least I know it's mine...
and if I should see you, I won't know what to say...
Yes I know I'm foolish,
and don't know what I've done,
and I'm sorry you get to live with my mistake...
What was it you thought you saw in me?
What was it you thought you saw in me?
What was it you thought you saw in me?
What was it you thought you saw in me?
What was it you thought, you saw in me?

1 - Make Me Some Insomnia
Couldn’t be much if it was all you wanted of me.
And I could let you have it.
Couldn’t be much if all you ever want is to be free.
And I can’t let you have it.
I was lightly sleeping when the lights went out of me.
And the room was strictly quiet
And the world rumbly stopping to see what’s wrong with me
Most of all in you can’t buy it.
So I let it go, cuz I hear its wrong to be here when I’m lost.
Won’t you watch me go?
So much for so long, to be you is all I want.
Terribly things can happen when you wait too long to speak
If you want why don’t you try it?
Lets start with something you can ill afford to keep.
Oh come on you just divide it.
So I let it go, cuz I hear its wrong to be here when I’m lost.
Won’t you watch me go?
So much for so long, to be you is all I want.
To rely on anyone is just like sinking for the fun of it.
Cuz no one has no help.
Just to feel like seventeen, a wasted throw back in between the bricks that keep you in places
Take me somewhere far away, can’t we go there?
So I let it go, cuz I hear its wrong to be here when I’m lost.
Won’t you watch me go?
So much for so long, to be you is all I want.
To rely on anyone is just like sinking for the fun of it.
Cuz no one has no help.
Just to feel like 17, a wasted throw back in between the bricks that keep you in places
Take me somewhere far away, can’t we go there to the lake?
2 - Stamped Out
There’s a whole life expired, gone by inside my own dreams.
She’s touched like a deadly live wire.
You’re standing in water, it would seem.
Once you’ve given your finally one over
We hope you recover from misery
And if that’s not enough, then this is love so let it be.
Once you were alone, the king moved his throne to sit beside you.
Now he’s gone away, nothing will stay the same.
Trouble is with you now. Trouble is here to stay.
Lesson for learning now, trouble won’t go away.
Love I’ve scorned and death desired
I placed my bets and watched them lay.
Time erodes the vision retires, no circumstance has felt the same.
Soon I’ll be laying down in the water, just dreaming of him that brings me ease.
Don’t go look for that long lost daughter, she’s gone to the river of your disease.
Once you were alone, the king moved his throne to sit beside you.
Now he’s gone away, nothing will stay the same.
Trouble is with you now. Trouble is here to stay.
Lesson for learning now, trouble won’t go away.
3 - The Rare Vavoom
To her it was nothing like a dream, other people what do they ever mean?
And we realized a little too late not all who give are willing to take what’s rightfully theirs. What’s rightfully theirs.
Cuz if you ever have changed your mind, you know it’s better to stay resigned.
I’ve made my offer for the last time, don’t look for me when you change your mind.
Two eyes, but do they really ever see?
That man he died before he met me, and if I ever start to look that way
Won’t you stop me, break my knees and make me pray?
Cuz if you ever have changed your mind, you know it’s better to stay resigned.
I’ve made my offer for the last time, don’t look for me when you change your mind.
Cuz if you ever have changed your mind, you know it’s better to stay resigned.

4 - Your Blue Shoes
Off to bed riddle head. You’ve worn yourself a brand new string.
Bottom run or deck and slung. Choose your place to meet your deed.
Off to bed dreamless dead. You cannot keep mocking me.
Saw your shoes steeped in blue, right beneath the deck for me.
And I’ll miss you in the summertime, and I’ll miss you when it’s late at night.
Right on time, no alibi needed down a one way street.
If they ask it’s in the past, punded swill lose lots of sleep.
Keepin’ on swingin’ song right beside the apple tree.
If you’ll just try to remember why the rest of life was without me.
I’ll miss you in the summertime. I’ll miss you when it’s late at night.
I’ll miss you, it’s too late to cry. And I’ll miss you most all the time.
I’ll miss you in the summertime. I’ll miss you when it’s late at night.
Off to bed it’s getting late.
I’m afraid I’ll hesitate with the thought of you this I’m doing, maybe then but not today.
5 - Providence
Dear providence
Please smile on her awhile.
Never was one to lay blame,
oh until they took her from me.
And now I can see that you’re lost to me, this was a page out of time.
Forgiveness just doesn’t come easily.
Forgetting just takes a long time.
Dear callus heart, you once showed the way from this place I can’t starve.
Oh you helped me keep them at bay.
And now I can see that you’re lost to me, this was a page out of time.
Forgiveness just doesn’t come easily.
Forgetting just takes a long time.
And now I can see that you’re lost to me, but please before it’s too late
Convince me it’s all for the best of me, convince me it’s all my mistake.
And now I can see that you’re lost to me, this was a page out of time.
Forgiveness just doesn’t come easily.
Forgetting just takes a long time.
And now I can see that you’re lost to me, but please before it’s too late
Convince me it’s all for the best of me, convince me it’s all my mistake.

Convince me it’s all for the best of me, convince me it’s all my mistake.
6 - The Big Dwindle
And we were bound to turn out something like this.
Sticky stuff, call it blood, and leave me alone.
Common place, it’s common place to feel like this.
So I called, when I knew you won’t be at home.
I leveled off went for a walk to sort this through.
Got a list of things I wish I’d done, I can’t undo.
You think that it should be the same.
Another life, another day.
Find a better excuse.
Something rich, dark and thick, kept us stuck here.
Rotten flowers you forgot to throw away.
Toss ‘em out, just throw ‘em out.
Smells remind me, place you went. That place you went to stay.
I leveled off went for a walk to sort this through.
Got a list of things I wish I’d done, I can’t undo.
You think that it should be the same.
Another life, another day.
Find a better excuse.

7 - Coin Jar
Build this up you know chimps have nothing but another year astray.
And I’m convinced anything matters
Who makes you feel that way?
Can’t get much older than today.
When you left I was tired of talking.
What’s to discuss anyway?
I mix things up. I overwhelm you. Too much of me on display.
Can’t get much older.
Cover up, might be cold when you’re left in life alone.
Cover up, cover up, cover up, it could look bad.
I gave up the best I had.
It’s here and now. Here and now.
8 - Three Miles
It feels like I’m falling through something left wide open.
Watch for comets coming down.
The words that stick to you, once they’re finally spoken.
Forgot you hid that you were smiling.
So the wind may cuss and the seas may grow.
Found myself down there all alone
Your eyes turn black and your mouths gone cold.
Found myself down there all alone
I’m still not coming too.
You can’t make me listen.
Save all your reasons for your friends.
A world with follow through
You can watch it glisten.
Remember this is how it ends.
You’re all I’ve got and read won’t be denied
Because living’s not what we thought.
Trouble and peace are blind I told you.
She’s what you want and I’m for borrow
Lessons in half the time I wonder won’t you?
Not hers but mine to plunder
On such a sleepless night
I traced the lines back to ‘was the promise broken?’
Watch for comets coming down.
So the wind may cuss and the seas may grow
Found myself down there all alone
Your eyes turn black and your mouths gone cold.
Found myself down there all alone
The wind may cuss and the seas may grow
Found myself down there all alone
Your eyes turn black and your mouths gone cold.
Found myself down there all alone
9 - Auto Immune
And so it goes now, we can’t all live like that anyway.
And if you ask me I’ll say I never saw you that day, or anywhere else.
And that’s the difference between you and I.
That’s the difference so don’t ask why.
I hate to leave this, I hate to leave it sitting this way.
But no one asked me. You never asked how I was feeling today or anything else.
And that’s the difference between you and I.
That’s the difference so don’t ask why.
10 - Golden Syrup
And at once the shadows have lifted and gone
And time presses on from here
So we’ll pause the motions that push us along to the sound of each passing year.
Hold close, remember I’ll love you through dawn and into the very next day.
This life reminds us that things can be wrong but still I will manage to stay.
Too-ra-loo-ra-lour my friend, I won’t go.
I belong here more than I could ever know.
Too-ra-loo-ra-lour my friend, I won’t go.
I belong here more than I could ever know.
And at once the shadows have lifted and gone
And time presses on from here
So we’ll pause the motions that push us along to the sound of each passing year.
Hold close, remember I’ll love you through dawn and into the very next day.
This life reminds us that things can be wrong but still I will manage to stay.
