Stolen Records

tonight we leave California
its not too late to start anew
my love we need more than distraction
from this world, from ourselves
i won't let you down
please don't let me hit the ground
before i rise just once
so pack all your stolen records
and i'll grab what's left of my relief
we won't need what we can't carry
there's nothing we can't reap again
out past the break in the skyline
out where heaven meets the earth
i'm sure we'll find some kind of something
if our hearts can keep us true

Talk To Me
03:57
|

|
how you walk
how you smile
how you take
up all my time
you've got to talk to me, baby
before too long
see that place
we last shined
so far out
we lost sight
you built a wall around your heart
that no one can climb

Novel Story
04:00
|

|
so you're writing stories of old
well i'd say i'm almost proud
stealing money right from my mouth
did your costume come too late
is the only sense i can make
raining on your favorite parade
turning every page
in high hopes of never growing older than this
it's not the way we were raised
to treat each other like a lost chapter
because i couldn't keep up the chase
i took up running away
it worked as long as i could forget
but now that i've settled for sure
there's no longer wanting for more
except to see this life through with you
how blessed your company
and all your worried posturing
shirt off in the darkest moon
the dust settles in between
a year or so less later
her sweet smell still stuck to me

Most of All
04:43
|
|||
|
you don't see me
you don't see me anymore
like you used to
lke you used to before
in this moment
in this moment we fall
someone's crying
someone's crying in the dark
and when we kissed
the world would quit
spent our days, spent our nights
all wrapped up in each other's eyes
spill the secrets
spill the secrets you keep
you don't hear me
you don't hear me when we speak
no one's leaving
no one's leaving this home
light a fire
light a fire watch it burn
it's not too late
it's not too dark
to fill the space
in our hearts
it's not too long
it's not too hard
so let's go back
to the start
cause where i stand
is where i fall
it's you i crave
most of all
so here's our chance
to right our wrongs
it's you i want
it's you i love
most of all

Portland
03:54

|
caught you running, running back
heaven knows i'm not that fast
three whole days just glided by
without a single cloud in sight
in this city i was not born
but all the masks that i have worn
all that we hold has got to let go
but i'm still in this body, aren't i?
everyone we know is right
until it comes time to fight

Please Please Please
03:44
|
|||
|
i can't stand to hear those noises
coming out from inside of you
they take me back
to a place so helpless
i don't know what i should do
please please please
don't quit on me
please please please
don't leave
and if i'm useless in the future
how my body keeps breaking down
who will pity this pour creature
when all i ever had was time
it's a special kind of hurt
but all you ever broke were bones
so you wouldn't know
unless you once broke your own

Hope Is Not Hard
03:33

hope is not hard
i heard you say
i could not be
in any worse shape
how did it feel
how long did it take
hope is not hard
i heard you say
out of the photograph
and into the dust
here comes the part of you
turning to rust
long before you
i waited a while
sinking like stone
lost like a child
then came your hands
then came your smile
long before you
i waited a while
let the daylight wander in
if we could stay
the same as right now
as long as we stay
the same as right now
i pray to god
we'll last somehow
if we just stay
the same as right now

someone's bound to take your place
it's not for me to say
but what is anyway
someone's bound to take your place
out of all the animals
you stand tall above the rest
out of all the animals
you're the one i like best
as soon as you let go i'm gone
i promise not to fight
no matter wrong or right
as soon as you let go i'm gone
now i know
i shouldn't have answered
but i did
i was too tired
to make her laugh
and not drunk enough
to be cruel
so she left
to find
someone who would
it's almost over
it's almost done

Before I Cave
04:55
|
|||
|
how much older
can you get
before you stop
living in
a separate space
all your own
no place left
to call you home
no one ever let go like you do
how much longer
can you stand
while right below
you're sinking in
you're dug in deep
for the tide
now washed away
but still alive
can't you wait now
it won't be long
before i cave

Where I Stand
04:31
|
|||
|
some days
you can't even stand
without help
holding both hands
talked you down
the balcony ledge
laid you out
on the hotel bed
you don't have to wonder where i stand
still alive
despite the change
your next try
won't be the same
another night
of holding on
to a life
that all went wrong
you don't have to wonder where i stand
and i'll stand
always
by your side
