All Once Too
06:03

When I had it all once too
When I had it all once too
I can’t spend another night alone with you
These queen size thoughts they fade into view
My heart sinks as I fade into you
When I had it all once too
When I had it all once too
Forward steps I fall away from you
Love me home just like you always do
Like diamond rings our secrets fall through
When I had it all once too
When I had it all once too
When I had it all once too
How now when all innocence is gone
These Cold retired hearts don’t race anymore
You keep our home while I keep this house alone
When I had it all once too
When I had it all once too
When I had it all once too
When I had it all once too
I hear you speak those words in absolution
Take her hand and never let it go
But it don’t hurt half as bad as moving on
When I had it all once too
When I had it all once too
When I had it all once too
When I had it all once too
When I had it all once too
When I had it all once too
When I had it all once too

Steel Wool
Its not for a lack of understanding but at fault of my once steady hands
I know you know not what I mean but I’d like to teach you braille
So Maybe then you could feel the words that I say
Before you leave them behind
Before you leave it all behind
My words got me into trouble again when I left them with you in July
And I lied when I said that I’d take it all back because it’s you that left too soon
Now that you’re gone I’ll tell you that I meant every word
When nothings really changed and it’s been
Nothings really changed and it’s been
When nothings really changed now a month’s gone by
These cool winds replaced the lavender in my window
Even wide oaks blush and let their clothes fall to the floor
So I roll up my sweater sleeves steel wool linens from the attic
Climbing walls ‘til they break and I’ll look for a fix like an addict
My words got me into trouble again when I left them with you in July
And I lied when I said that I’d take it all back because it’s you that left too soon
Now that you’re gone I’ll tell you that I meant every word
When nothings really changed and it’s been
Nothings really changed and it’s been
When nothings really changed now a season’s gone by
I reached the coast by eventide these cliffs were too weak to be tormented by the sea
Now sands just strong enough to hold me
I know you’re too strong to hold me now so if we cross paths again
I’ll say the words I screamed in silence
From the moment I found you
My words got me into trouble again when I left them with you in July
And I lied when I said that I’d take it all back because it’s you that left too soon
Now that you’re gone I’ll tell you that I meant every word
And I know I as wrong but you know that I meant every word
When nothings really changed and it’s been
Nothings really changed and it’s been
Nothings really changed now I’ve spent a lifetime

She Is All
04:12
|

I told myself I would let it go
Take time to grow, and take this slow
So I learned your lines in the month that was my name
Now the rains returned, and the leaves have changed
She is all that I want
She knows all that I need
I let my heart go with time
But it wasn’t right, no not this time
I thought of you in dark hazel highways
Four months on the road, without a word
You stayed home to guard your heart alone
From the one that came before me, will follow after me
She is all that I want
She knows all that I need
I let my heart go with time
But it wasn’t right, no not this time
She is all that I want
She knows all that I need
I let my heart go with time
But it wasn’t right, no not this time

River
River rise
River rise
Out through your window
Out through your window
River rise
River rise
Out through your window
Out through your window
We've run out of things to tell you to make this all sound alright
and like these cancers in my bones you're taking your time to go
and now despite all I want I know I will go home alone
This old river rise
River rise
Out through your window
Out through your window
Skies that fall
Skies that fall
Outside your window
Outside your window
We've run out of things to try dear to make this alright again
and like these cancers in my bones you're taking your time to go
we've got three pages down until you can come sign me out
This old River rise
River rise
Outside your window
Out through your window
Skies that fall
Skies that fall
Outside your window
Outside your window
We've run out of things to try dear to make this alright again
and like these cancers in my bones you're taking your time to go
Now despite all I want I know I will go home alone
This old River rise
River rise
Outside your window
Outside your window
River rise
River rise
Out through your window
Outside your window

All I Have
04:20
|

All I have
All I have is you
All I have
All I have is you
So many years have gone by clearer to you
As time moves on watching it’s like a blur to you
All that I wanted was to be needed by you
All that I do I keep doing it all for you
All I have
All I have is you
All I have
All I have is you
Gamble away yesterday for tomorrow with you
Wage what you taught me against what I thought I had learned
As I watch you shrink in a rear view taillight glow I realize
That I never want to watch you leave
All I have
All I had was you
All I had
All I had was you
Stay
Stay
Stay
Stay
All I have
All I have is you
All I have
All I had was you

Eliza no I can’t keep hoping that you’re mine
Realize love that I can’t keep you from changing your mind
No I can’t keep hoping that you’re mine
Know I can’t keep you from changing your mind
She lit a cigarette from the fire in her eyes
let it drag out like you did last night
Ashes turn to dust just like it always does
Main Street bars in the middle of the night
I watched you walk out like I hoped you might
One last call or one last song
Eliza no I can’t keep hoping that you’re mine
Realize love that I can’t keep you from changing your mind
No I can’t keep hoping that you’re mine
Know I can’t keep you from changing your mind
She lit a cigarette from the fire in her eyes
let it drag out like you did last night
Ashes turn to dust just like it always does
Main Street bars in the middle of the night
I watched you walk out like I hoped you might
One last call or one last song
Eliza no I can’t keep hoping that you’re mine
Realize love that I can’t keep you from changing your mind
No I can’t keep hoping that you’re mine
No I can’t keep hoping that you’re mine
I can’t keep hoping that you’re mine
Like I can’t keep you from changing your mind

Borrowed House
05:14
|
|||
So when you left I stayed behind for university
But you taught me more than I learned in those blasted four
But I never told you all of this
No I never told you what you meant
Now I keep my things in this borrowed house
Try and remember all the things that it was
While you reside on the south side try and forget all the things that it was
Try and forget all the things that it was
I sold off the last of my things and I headed west
I know Chicago is cold but I hit the coast by six pm
I watched as the sun came back around
I wondered if you’d seen these green flashes too
But I never told you all of this
No I never told you where I went
Now I keep my things in this borrowed house
Try and remember all the things that it was
While you reside on the south side try and forget all the things that it was
Try and forget all the things that it was
I walked in through the front door of our apartment
I dropped my keys right next to yours in that blue dish by the door
But I never told you all of this
No I never told you where I went
Know everything looks just the same
Nothing feels quite the same at all
Now I keep my things in this borrowed house
Try and remember all the things that it was
While you reside on the south side try and forget all the things that it was
Try and forget all the things that it was
Try and remember all the things that it was
Try and forget all the things that it was

Most Of The Time
03:49
|

Ten hours off and on again
Motel six off ninety-nine is starting to feel like home
Wake up two more lonely eyes
Ain't nothing like yours but it’s better than sleeping alone
Won’t you please come home
It gets cold when I am alone
It is cold here most of the time
For the second time this week
I left my ring at home in the morning it just don’t fit anymore
Same old rehearsed lines I offered darling
I told them all you were fine
Won’t you please come home
It gets cold when I am alone
It is cold here most of the time

Used
03:47
|

They tell you watch your back
Agree before the timing lapse
So I waited out your return
Valhalla already wanted you back
You tore me open and took back what you stole
You mugged me then left me to fend for myself
Now used don't even begin to describe
He came to me with half a song
Blank spaces filled but you wanted more
We'll never transcend time
I gave you my best now I'm wishing it back
you tore me open and took back what you stole
you mugged me then left me to fend for myself
you mugged me then left me to fend for myself
you mugged me then left me to fend for myself
now used don't even begin to describe

Other Than You
02:55
|

He disappears that's what he does
He's a coward but still a good man I
tell myself when they ask
tell myself when they ask
tell myself when they ask
Not a word that you breathe is the truth
I know this for a fact
cause I'm I liar myself
I'm I liar myself
I'm I liar myself
You're a ghost now that I used to feel
you disappeared without a warning
now there must be something I'm missing
Other than you
Other than you
Other than you
Other than you
Tired of being your excuse
No I don't want to be used
keep your hands to yourself
keep your hands to yourself
keep your hands to yourself
Months of my wasted time
I'm not going to blur your lines
don't you ever come back
don't you ever come back
don't you ever come back
You're a ghost now that I used to feel
you disappeared without a warning
now there must be something I'm missing
Other than you
Other than you
Other than you
Other than you

He takes a little time for himself
You take a step back to what you do best
In the dawn do you see through
Sober somber eyes what you do
Shainna dear when you get tired of sleeping around
Take the love you made and saved give it all away
Did you plan it all leaving here with him
Did his arms feel the same as they did before
And will this be the last time
That you think of where your heart lives now in another lovers arms
Shainna dear when you get tired of sleeping around
Take the love you made and saved give it all away
Borrowed second chances
When you try to mend the fences you built around
You built around
Lay down your defenses
Burn down the bridges to the ground
To the ground
Borrowed second chances
When you try to mend the fences you built around
You built around
Lay down your defenses
Burn down the bridges to the ground
To the ground
Shainna dear when you get tired of fucking around
Take the love you made and saved give it all away

Sailor
03:41

Spend my days by the ocean where you spend your nights
Keeping warm and dry like tinder where the pacific ends
Find safety in these words before the tide and I get carried away
Don’t say I didn’t warn you, I feel you’re lonely too
Perfectly no good like butane and cigarettes
I feel you wanting me more as the air thins
Give in to me tonight
Let me carry you away in the tide
Don’t say them as a warning, save them for the morning light
Six strings and I on the sands of Los Angeles
Watch he waves pull back and push away the coast
Cold clear nights spent in the comfort of warm dim light
Don’t think I didn’t think of you
And all that you do
Perfectly no good like butane and cigarettes
I feel you wanting me more as the air thins
Give in to me tonight
Let me carry you away in the tide
Don’t say them as a warning, save them for the morning light

Call It What It Is
03:50
|
|||
Between the wine, whiskey and why
I’m in no shape to take you home
Wasted wanting more
I’m in no shape to take you down
Say you’re just a friend say it’s nothing more
Stay until it is until it’s all you want
Morning light feed the flame
I’m in no way blaming you
Burning skin breathe with me
I’m in no way falling for you
Say you’re just a friend say it’s nothing more
Stay until it is until it’s all you want
Call it what it is, as we’re waging reasons why
When you’re pulling me in, and we’re faking love
Again
Between the wine, whiskey and why
I’m in no shape to take you home

Lover
05:41
|

Breathing you in, feeling you darling
Strangers curves learning your skin
Holding back no longer
Give in to the side that's screaming out for more
You are not my lover when you lay me down
We don’t promise forever just to wait out the night
Phantom kiss stolen glances and hardwood floors
You carry me on
Follow where you go your gold eyes wander
All that I want your desire
You are not my lover when you lay me down
We don’t promise forever just to wait out the night
Just to wait out the night
Just to wait out the night
Just to wait out the night
Just to wait out the night
You are not my lover when you lay me down
We don’t promise forever just to wait out the night
He is not my lover when he lay me down
We don’t promise forever just to wait out the night
Just to wait out the night
Just to wait out the night
Just to wait out the night
Just to wait out the night
Just to wait out the night
Just to wait out the night
Just to wait out the night
Just to wait out the night
Just to wait out the night
Just to wait out the night
