From Nowhere
05:02

I met a man at the market
Wearing his old brown shoes
He said that he was from nowhere
And that's where I'm from too
He put his hand in his pocket
Where his family resides
He said that they were from nowhere
Then he broke down and cried
I met a girl from the knolls
I'm told her house burned down
She said she's under construction
Her head was stuck in the ground
She wears her life on her shoulder
And swears it's not that bad
I say we're both growing older
She said don't be so sad
I haven't felt this way in a long, long time
Spend my day in the shade now it's sunshine
I haven't felt this way in a long, long time
Spend my day in the shade now it's sunshine

Everybody's lonely in their own way
Everything's a song if you sing it
Everybody's following their own way
Everything is harder if you make it
Don't you put yourself under the spotlight
Everything's a joke if you mean it
Don't you know it's all in your peace of mind
Everything is harder if you make it
Open your eyes, there's a ghost close behind
Everything's better now, burn all your letters
And don't go down
Everybody's lonely in their own way
Everything's a song if you sing it
Everybody's following their own way
Everything is harder if you make it

If You Want To
04:01

My baby crawls up beside me
She calls on no one else
My baby swears that she loves me
She wants me all for herself
Don't hold your silence, no
Just keep your eyes to yourself
And in the morning she's waiting
She lives for no one else
Until the sun is fading
She keeps me all for herself
No one's invited
We keep our eyes to ourselves
My baby don't need a reason
She says it's all in good health
My baby won't see me leaving
She wants me all for herself
Don't get excited
Just keep your eyes to yourself
And when she begs me to love her forever
She puts her heart on the shelf
And when there's nothing left to uncover
She keeps me all for herself
Don't call it violence
Just keep your eyes to yourself

Wax Eyes
03:01
|
|

I fell into a nasty habit
I want something, I just go grab it
I melted into your wax eyes
So this should come as no surprise
When I cause a scene
It was for you to see
When jokers fall
No one laughs at all
I'm thinking things you can't imagine
And I'm not one to push aside
You gotta want to make it happen
So this should come as no surprise
When I cause a scene
It was for you to see
When jokers fall
No one laughs at all

Blood Red Orange

Always wasting time
Always so unkind
And I'll never be clever enough to say goodbye
Yeah, I'm always doing time
Give me a reason
Leave me your name
There's something inside me
That I wont deny me
Invite me inside to stay
Insanely wasting time
Always out of line
And I better be clever enough to save my mind
Yeah, I'm always doing time
Call me indecent
Throw me away
There's nothing beside me
So come down to find me
Invite me inside to stay, and say
You act like you've changed
You act like you've changed
Don't act like you've changed

Happy Wedding
04:20

"There's always something to say, I suppose" she said
But she's talking enough for the both of us
Every thought I think to say gets lost on her
So I'll say it again, all my time gets spent
Picking up after you and your drunken friends
So I'll drink to the end and let it blow over
No more secrets, happy wedding
Don't look back until you say I do
All four seasons, we were just pretending
All in all it's what he takes from you
So I drove out of town just one more time
Far enough to ease my mind
But these city lines won't lead me home sober
But I laugh to myself as I play it back
Like a record stuck on the same old track
Singing over the bridge until it starts over
No more secrets, happy wedding
Don't look back until you say I do
All four seasons, we were just pretending
All in all it's what he takes from you
No more secrets, happy wedding
Don't look back until you say I do
All four seasons, we were just pretending
All and all it's what he takes from you

Strangers
05:08
|

Turn off the lights cause you know I won't be home
Screaming at me through an unlocked door just to keep yourself alone
It's an awful fight that you know you'll never win
But i'm only concerned with the way you say my name
When the gin is running through your veins
I didn't clothe you with the shirt from my back just to say that i'd give you away
But at the same time, it's not a well placed rhyme just to give you a reason to stay
It's an awful sight that a man can't give away
But I've only just learned there's a shame in the way
A stranger can enjoy the rain
You backed out from the pact that was made on the day you said we never would change
But keep in mind, in the story you will find we were always on a different page
It's an awful lie, that I'd ever see the light of day
But I've only just learned of the bridges that you burned
In an effort to show me the way
Now it's a small world or so you've been told by the man you thought would never complain
Just understand that the blood in your hands is bigger than what you can claim
It's an awful crime that you'd ever turn to me and say
I'm only concerned with the way you say my name
When you're staring at me through the rain
Now that we are strangers
The sympathy is in our favor
Now that we are strangers
The sympathy is in our favor
Now that we are strangers
The sympathy is in our favor
Now that we are strangers
The sympathy is in our favor

I'm going on a trip, back to 1996
How could I be if I never even knew you?
I dreamt you were a child
And no one recognizes you
If you stay here for a while
I'll grow to despise you
So fall for their tricks, how could you insist?
That I couldn't be if I never even knew you?
Calousa, Calousa
Calousa, Calousa
All in good time
I told you I'm fine
How could I be if I never even knew you?

Take Me Over
03:27
|
|

Give me a push now
Give me a fight
Go on and drink yourself to sleep and see if I mind
How will you notice if you never take the time?
Is it any wonder?
Is it a crime?
Go on and make yourself believe it's all in your mind
How will you focus if you never could decide?
How will you focus if you never could decide?
(Yeah) Take me over,
(Yeah) under your spell!
(Yeah) Take me over,
(Yeah) under your spell!

Stalemate
03:59
|
|

It takes time but I've tried to be real with you
And in my mind I've reserved my place
See these pleasantries have taken me over
And to break is to make myself see
It's a joke that I'm winning in a stalemate
Here alone it's so hard for me to stay awake
And I'm tired of being stuck in a mind game
There's a lesson to be learned if you heard it the wrong way
It's a joke that I'm winning in a stalemate
Here alone it's so hard for me to stay awake
And I'm tired of being stuck in a mind game
There's a lesson to be learned if you heard it the wrong way

Run Me Down
05:12
|

She took the fall for the words that I said
I need an excuse to get her out of my head
I meant it all, and I'd do it again
If not for love then for a trusted friend
All my years are starting to run me down
And I've been looking around in fear
I took too long, she gave me her time
But I wasn't careful enough to keep myself in line
Was I wrong? Am I losing my mind?
If only I'd seen myself through someone else's eyes
All my fears are starting to run me down
And I've been looking around for years
I feel ashamed, I've been put in my place
Her voice is a whisper that keeps me up for days
Was I to blame? Am I being erased?
If not for love then for a passing phase
All my years are starting to run me down
And I've been looking around in fear
I've been here before, and I'm losing my grace
In a perfect world and in a perfect sort of way
She'll bring me love, and I'll make her sway
If only I'd been wise enough to be the one to stay
All my fears are starting to run me down
And I've been looking around for years
All my years are starting to run me down
and I've been looking around in fear
