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

Mystery Fades
03:53
|
|||
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

Charming Duplicity
03:17
|
|||
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?

One-Time Thing
03:06
|
|||
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

There's a Star for You
04:12
|
|||
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

Hospital Bed Clothes
02:58
|
|||
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

Have a Good One, Goodbye
02:54
|
|||
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.”
