Exit Signs 03:30
Don’t shake or quiver over fear of disaster It’s already here You roll over to his face every morning Please stay What I never say is, “I can’t do this without you.” And as we drive right by So many different highway exit signs None of them enticing enough for me To veer to the right And all the while you stayed by my side You stayed by my side And now I know why It’s comedy My life is worth a laugh I drown it every day So swim away I can’t tread the waters of responsibility You were so good to me Never enabling me Like the other half of my head might And as we drive right by So many different highway exit signs None of them enticing enough for you To veer to the right And all the while you stayed by my side You stayed by my side And now I know why Don’t shake or quiver over fear of disaster It’s already here You roll over to his face every morning

Let me put it this way I don’t blame you For doubting it when I say that I’m okay ‘Cause mystery fades And the attractiveness of my drinking went away Wanting to bleed on my own Is what I need It’s how I’ve grown up As a pluviophile Draining the pain while I pray you’re not putting any dependence on me Let me put it this way I don’t blame you For doubting it when I say that I’m okay ‘Cause mystery fades And the attractiveness of my drinking went away Wanting to feed off my own history And how I’ve grown up As a pluviophile Draining the pain while I pray you’re not putting any dependence on me Let me put it this way I don’t blame you For doubting it when I say that I’m okay ‘Cause mystery fades And the attractiveness of my drinking went away You said, “I love you” first At least you knew what you were looking for If you haven’t noticed by now I’m an oblivious boy

I heard a rumour from a neighbour That you no longer take the fast way home You circle the block for an hour or two Before you get home Walk through the door Accidents happen And love don’t come by choice Sometimes you want it any other way but this way But then your leaves turn You know her like the back of your hand No you don’t You know nothing, man I’ll be alone like I always am Even in a crowded room Do you remember my charming duplicity Before you saw the patterns I breed? You know me like back of your hand No you don’t You know nothing, kid You know me like the back of your hand No you don’t You ain’t seen nothing yet Do you remember my charming duplicity Before you saw the patterns I breed?

It’s easy enough to ride the wave Back to my place But it hurts to drown When you get carried away As you tried to explain That this was a one-time thing ‘Cause you told yourself over and over That you wouldn’t let yourself Get hurt again The future remains unwritten But ours could have been so different Just hang tough The right time and place will come Don’t deny yourself Every opportunity to be happy Along the way As you’ll try to explain That this was a one-time thing ‘Cause you told yourself over and over That you wouldn’t let yourself Get hurt again The future remains unwritten But ours could have been so different

Some people’s first love They never have to give them up Some see it through to the end And some end up just friends I know you waited for this You can burn sage at the centre of someone’s heart It might never reach their brain The help that people know they need They don’t take seriously I know you helped me with this There’s a star for you Behind your blackest cloud Even if it’s not burning for you now I am Some people’s first love They never have to give them up Some see it through to the end And some can’t even be in the same room as them I know you waited for this There’s a star for you Behind your blackest cloud Even if it’s not burning for you now I am You can burn sage at the centre of someone’s heart It might never reach their brain The help that people know they need They don’t take seriously There’s a star for you Behind your blackest cloud Even if it’s not burning for you now I am

Fragility 04:20
I remember when every new girl Was one that I’d call the first Back when I was younger And the hymens began to burst The age gets younger every year I was slipping in my head And on the wetness of my bed “You’re incapable of getting anything right” Is what I told myself before bed every night You should have seen the fragility And watched me try to lie About how I had lost my virginity The only future I could see Had already faded right behind me I went from loving myself To hating myself To loving someone else You should have seen the fragility And watched me try to lie About how I had lost my virginity The only future I could see Had already faded right behind me You should have seen the fragility I lied

Look at me With so many things That I can’t live without All because of you and me Well, you had me in my bed Then you left I’m a man now I can handle being a little stressed Or depressed It’s all part of the game for me And I’ll change into my hospital bed clothes And deteriorate before your very eyes I don’t want to look like a cigarette smile I will try every day to rise Until you realize That I can be so much more than this Look at me With my glass-half-empty mentality Insides are easy to hide From all the people walking outside They don’t know my name But you see me in my hospital bed clothes I deteriorate before your very eyes And you’re forced to kiss my cigarette smile I will try every day to rise Until you realize That I can be so much more than this
8.
You woke me up just before you left To say, “I love you. Have a good one, goodbye. See you tonight." My brain is pregnant with a person That I’ll never give birth to Only remember all they were All I fear more than death Is loss of the memories Of my perspective of you You’ll live on in someone’s heart Like you always did Like you do in mine You woke me up just before your left To say, “I love you. Have a good one, goodbye.”
