Silly Alex don't think that way
I said I can't hold this in
So I'm gonna let it out right now
I want to hold you close
You're acting like you want to hold you down
Don't ask me to
Change the man I am for you
I said don't ask me to
Change the man I am for you
Don't get sad, decide to stay
You're heart is here, your head's away
The more you cry, the more I know
I'm certain that you'll let me go
I said oh my God I've got my heart in my hands
Now my head is so heavy that I can't understand
Singing oh my golly oh miss me oh my
I'm afraid that the moon pulled you out with the tide
I said I can't hold this in
So i'm gonna let it out right now
I want to hold you close
You're acting like I want to hold you down
Alex don't think that way
Unless you're gonna act on it
Alex don't think that way
Unless you're gonna change the way it is
Don't get sad, decide to stay
You're heart is here, your head's away
The more you cry, the more I know
I'm certain that you'll let me go
I said oh my God I've got my heart in my hands
Now my head is so heavy that I can't understand
Singing oh my golly oh miss me oh my
I'm afraid that the moon pulled you out with the tide
I said oh my God I've got my heart in my hands
Now my head is so heavy that I can't understand
Singing oh my golly oh miss me oh my
I'm afraid that the moon pulled you out with the tide

Eggshells

Say you want better
You poke fun of holes in my sweater babe
But who did you really expect me to be
I can see through you
I try everyway to undo you boy
Before California takes you from me
Slow down slow down
Take it from the beginning
I'm here why are you still around
I could keep digging
Provide all the things that you're missing boy
But why should I worry that I'm not enough
Say you don't like me
Enough to stand up and just fight me boy
Then we will both know that it's time to give up
If I could just tell you
I've fallen in more than I care to now
It's strange so afraid I might be in love
Slow down slow down
Take it from the beginning
I'm here why are you still around
There's no missing piece
No my other half
I could lose it all
Keep one photograph
Oh if you needed me I'd give you all I have
Slow down slow down
Take it from the beginning
I'm here why are you still around
Slow down Slow down
Take it from the beginning now
I'm here why are you still around

Back & Fourth
03:31

Guess I wake up knew everytime I'd lose my mind?
Going back and forth gotta keep it inside
If I let this go would you be surprised
Going back and forth gotta keep it inside
Oh way over this I'm running i'll hide
Going back and forth gotta keep it inside
Said I never gave my all but I tried
Are we so far so far gone
It felt so right and once again it's so long
One more time I swear God dammit I'm gone
All this back and forth all this leading me on
Yes I put up with you three too many times
Going back and forth gotta keep it inside
Could I break your heart before you touch mine
Going back and forth gotta keep it inside
Oh way over this you're wasting my time
Going back and forth gotta keep it inside
Act like giving me your all is a crime
Are we so far so far gone
It felt so right and once again it's so long
One more time I swear God dammit I'm gone
All this back and forth all this leading me on
You're thinking I'll sit here watch you walk away
Think maybe Ill change your mind or beg you to stay
I never put up with anyone treating me this way
You're not worth my time can't make up your mind
Thinking I'll sit around and wait
Are we so far so far gone
It felt so right and once again it's so long
One more time I swear God dammit I'm gone
All this back and forth all this leading me on

03:54
|

Well damn I think it's done
Take it back turn around now
Start all over again
He'll start to pack up and she'll pretend she's sorry
Wait babe can't we be friends
She thinks that if she calls
She can always have him

But darling this time

I've been waiting for you
You said please come over
I know I shouldn't so I
Wait wait think it over
He swears darling it's through
But looks over his shoulder
Maybe she loves him so we'll
Wait wait think it over
Well damn I better run
Take it back turn around now

And when he starts to miss me
Wait call where have you been

But darling this time
when I pick up the pieces that will be the end
I've been waiting for you

I know I shouldn't so I
Wait wait Think It Over
He swears darling it's through
But looks over his shoulder
Maybe she loves him so we'll
Wait wait think it over

You said please come over
I know I shouldn't so I
Wait wait think it over
He swears darling it's through
But looks over his shoulder
Maybe she loves him so we'll

Follow Me
03:31
|
|||
Oh you make me wonder
Opened another door
Where I ain't been in awhile
I know I shouldn't boy
But let's have another pour
That moon makes me thirsty for wine
And I said
Would you look at that
I think I love your body
You read mine like a book
Oh the marks that I made
Up on your shoulder
Sure gave you a good look
Let's have another go
We'll learn something we didn't know
I'll be your distraction for awhile
These afternoons move slow
Don't have no place to go
And the company we keep is so kind
And I said
Would you look at that
I think I love your body
You read mine like a book
Oh the marks that I made
Up on your shoulder
Sure gave you a good look
Maybe we'll take our time
And for the moment you'll be mine
I know you play all the right cards
And when the day is done
I'll try and pack up and be gone
We'll see if I make it past the yard
And I said
Would you look at that
I think I love your body
You read mine like a book
Oh the marks that I made
Up on your shoulder
Sure gave you a good look
And I said
Would you look at that
I think I love your body
You read mine like a book
Oh the marks that I made
Up on your shoulder
Sure gave you a good look
Sure gave you a good look
Sure gave you a good look

Expectations
04:17
|
|||
We met and it was simple
I had it all and you were the one
That would make it all okay
You made me feel so different
We had each other night after night
All my troubles went away
But of coarse it's just not the same
You try to hold too tightly
Everything's gonna change
Make the rules and it's just a game
I can't stop burning bridges
I'll win you over make make you my own
And then we'll both feel different
You can't possibly give what I want from you
I know I said you were perfect
I made the rules that you didn't know
All of these expectations
You can't possibly give what I want from you
So now I treat you different
I made a list of all that I need
And I left it up to you
I treat you like a stranger
And talk to strangers like they know me
It's your fault for all I do
As if you don't suffer too
I tied up all our shit into something we can't undo
These are the rules I should follow too
I can't stop burning bridges
I'll win you over make make you my own
And then we'll both feel different
You can't possibly give what I want from you
I know I said you were perfect
I made the rules that you didn't know
All of these expectations
You can't possibly give what I want from you
Oh it's all my fault
Never meant to be so unkind
now I don't listen when you talk
And what it comes down to is I'm just
Afraid to lose something that shouldn't be mine
I can't stop burning bridges
I'll win you over make make you my own
And then we'll both feel different
You can't possibly give what I want from you
I know I said you were perfect
I made the rules that you didn't know
All of these expectations
You can't possibly give what I want from you
You can't possibly give what I want from you
You can't possibly give what I want from you

Sinking Ship
04:07
|
|||
Feel like wasting time
Feel like wasting time
Feel like wasting time with you
See the rising tide
Know it's only a matter of time
See the rising tide
So blue
Oh if it's cold in the water
Am I better for it
oh I can learn from my mother
If this sinking ship goes down
Take my broken hands
Takes a sunrise to understand
Both my broken hands are true
Always here and now
Tried to drift dear
But don't know how
Always here and now with you
Oh if it's cold in the water
Am I better for it
oh I can learn from my mother
If this sinking ship goes down
Oh if it's cold in the water
Am I better for it
oh I can learn from my mother
If this sinking ship goes down

My Town
04:38
|
|||
Oh you broke the spell
Always knew this wouldn't end so well
I made sure that no one else could tell
When I lost my will to run
all the time we spent
All the things you said, I never felt
No I didn't lose the upper hand
Still I found myself undone
So I'll take my time
Try to separate what's yours from mine
See your fingerprints on all I find
If it was all a game you won
Who did you think we were fooling
Saying goodbye for the moment
Take it back
Burn it down
Oh you bring your body bag
I know you're right
Just hurts my pride
Because I gave you all I had
Oh for once it's not my fault
You know I did the best I can
Get out of my heart and my head
Don't you know this is my town
now it's time to go
Just sink back into you never know
oh you didn't mean to be so bold
One last hit before you leave
Oh you meant so well
Now your head can hold you like a cell
Check in my mind just like a damn hotel
Drop the key before you leave
Who did you think we were fooling
Saying goodbye for the moment
Take it back
Burn it down
Oh you bring your body bag
I know you're right
Just hurts my pride
Because I gave you all I had
Oh for once it's not my fault
You know I did the best I can
Get out of my heart and my head
Don't you know this is my town

The One
03:07
|
|||
I'll make the coffee if you cook the bacon
I haven't had a lot to eat
I like it black no sugar we don't have any bacon
But the sentiment was sweet
We've been together for as long as I remember
But we only make love in the Spring
We don't mind staying up all night
Because we talk a lot sweeter with booze
Never can remember even half of the fights
But you'll never forget when I lose
You're not the one for me
You're not the one for me
You're not the one for me
You're just the one that I choose
Wake up in the morning
my head is feeling heavy
Bed's empty and the room is cold
We probably said some things we both should be regretting
We're too young to be acting this old
Are you holding me together
I know that you are broken
You're so good at staying composed
I'll find you in the kitchen
We'll talk about the weather
Oh God you are beautiful
We don't mind staying up all night
Because we talk a lot sweeter with booze
Never can remember even half of the fights
But you'll never forget when I lose
We don't mind staying up all night
Because we talk a lot sweeter with booze
Never can remember even half of the fights
But you'll never forget when I lose
You're not the one for me
You're not the one for me
You're not the one for me
You're just the one that I choose

Break You Down
03:22
|
|||
We combined
The first time that we lost our minds
We couldn't see how far we'd climbed
Without looking down
Used to think
The worst thing we could do is sink
You took me right up to the brink
And swore you'd stick around
Change the tide
There is consequences when you lie
The truth will come out in your eyes
With all the fear i've found
And who could break you
Who could break you
Who could break you down
Who could break you
Who could break you
Who could break you down
Way back when
I started wondering where you've been
Change the way our story ends
And what you meant to me
Different tune
It's simple when I think of you
So thank you for the damn good view
Appreciate the key
And who could break you
Who could break you
Who could break you down
Who could break you
Who could break you
Who could break you down
If I say that you're freaking me out
Saving face I don't want you around
You got a hold on me, ooh
If I fall cause you're breaking me down
Who would have thought it was you all along
You got a hold on me
And who could break you
Who could break you
Who could break you down
Who could break you
Who could break you
Who could break you down

Leave It Alone
03:54
|

Leave it alone
If you have to force it
It's not worth your time
Leave it alone
You go on your way darling I'll go mine
Leave it alone
You want to change me but you don't know how
Leave it alone
No use pretending we can go back now
Overdue
So tired when I think of you
I guess it's just the cards we drew
There is nothing here
Leave it alone
Nothing to fix
Now you can walk away
Leave it alone
Don't think there is anything that I can say
Leave it alone
You never wanted this thing anyhow
Leave it alone
No one would blame you for just walking out
Overdue
So tired when I think of you
I guess it's just the cards we drew
There is nothing here
Understand
We're betting on an empty hand
There's no one here to reprimand
Just disappear
Leave it alone
If you have to force it
It's not worth your time
Leave it alone
You go on your way darling I'll go mine
Leave it alone
Nothing to fix
Now you can walk away
Leave it alone
Don't think there is anything that I can say
Leave it alone
You never wanted this thing anyhow
Leave it alone
No use pretending we can go back now
Leave it alone
If you have to force it
It's not worth your time
Leave it alone
You go on your way darling I'll go mine

Goodbye Goodnight
05:07
|
|||
You draw
With fingers on the wall
All of the places you'd rather be
I smile
promise that I'll spend some time alone
Cause I know you're losing sleep
Hoping that you're doing well
Escape your head, a living hell
I'm losing my damn mind but I'm alright
Darling when I say it's fine
I'll see you at some other time
Don't want to say goodbye I'll say goodnight
Sometimes
this simple kind of love becomes a crutch
It's easy living slow
There's a fine line
I start to think of you too much
Let me in i'll let you go
We'll try
Not to read each other like a book
Let's just share another smoke
Hoping that you're doing well
Escape your head,a living hell
I'm losing my damn mind but I'm alright
Darling when I say it's fine
I'll see you at some other time
Don't want to say goodbye I'll say goodnight
Tell it like it is
I get the feeling that I might have let you in
Tell it like it is
I get the feeling that I might have let you in
We'll try
To pass the time
Denying all the facts
Maybe soon we'll be complete
Hoping that you're doing well
Escape your head,a living hell
I'm losing my damn mind but I'm alright
Darling when I say it's fine
I'll see you at some other time
Don't want to say goodbye I'll say goodnight
Darling when I say it's fine
I'll see you at some other time
Don't want to say goodbye I'll say goodnight
