Oh, But Lover
04:04

My head has been in a daze
I haven't slept in a week
I made a promise to you I can't keep
It's driving me to the edge
I walk myself to the ledge
I'd jump a thousand feet
Just so I can finally get relief
And the feeling of falling out of your love
Has a dread I couldn't ever dream up
And it haunts me just to think of what I'd done
And in light of everything we'd become
I'm finally learning to love myself
Better than I have before
And I know that means I'm breaking your heart
Oh, but lover, we were broken from the start
I hope you look at us still
And feel the love that I felt
I know that soon you will build
Your life again with someone else
Is it selfish to keep wanting you this way?
I know I'm the only one here to blame
You can't move on when I'm always in your way
And we both know I can't stay
I'm finally learning to love myself
Better than I have before
And I know that means I'm breaking your heart
Oh, but lover, we were broken from the start
Lightning strikes in the same place
We better run and hide 'fore it finds us again
It's dangerous to think all the things we could have been
Lover that's a war we will never win
Is it selfish to keep wanting you this way?
I know I'm the only one here to blame
You can't move on when I'm always in your way
When I can't make up my mind either way
I'm finally learning to love myself
Better than I have before
And I know that means I'm breaking your heart
Oh, but lover, we were broken from the start
Think I made a promise to you I can't keep
Think I made a promise to you I can't keep

I hope you’re the one
I wanna stop searching
If you hold me tight
I might finally stop hurting
We spin like a record (we spin like a record)
We’re just stuck going backwards (We’re just stuck going backwards, backwards)
I can’t fix this pain I feel
Trying to find a way to heal
Seasons come and go so soon
I feel us fading too
Why do I get the feeling I should let go and give this some space?
Beneath the surface can you promise me everything’s okay?
Can you tell me what you feel now so we can save face?
Do you have the heart to stay?
I don’t think you’re the one
But I’m scared to be the first one to go
I just want you to hold me tight
So I feel a little less alone
We fix it just to watch it break
Repeat like a broken tape
I want you just to stay with me
But I don’t trust in “meant-to-be’s”
Why do I get the feeling I should let go and give this some space?
Beneath the surface I can’t you promise you everything’s okay
Wish I could tell you what I feel now so we can save face
But I don’t have the heart to stay
Why do I get the feeling I should let go and give this some space?
Beneath the surface I can’t you promise you everything’s okay
Can you tell me what you feel now so we can save face
I don’t know if I should stay
But I don’t have the strength to go
Flickering just like a flame
Burning so low
Tell me is it time to be honest?
Honestly I don’t know
I don’t know if I should stay
But I don’t have the strength to go
I don’t know if I should stay
But I don’t have the strength to go
Flickering just like a flame
Burning so low
Tell me is it time to be honest?
Honestly I don’t know
I don’t know if I should stay
But I don’t have the strength to go
I don’t have the heart
Why do I get the feeling I should let go and give this some space?
Beneath the surface I can’t you promise you everything’s okay
Wish I could tell you what I feel now so we can save face
I don’t have the heart to stay
Give it space, give it a little space
Give it space, just a little babe (Give it some space)
Give it space, give it a little space
Just a little babe
Give it space, give it a little space
Give it space, just a little babe (Give it some space)
Give it space, give it a little space
Just a little babe

Wildflowers

I'm falling apart quite beautifully
I look at the stars
Wonder which one you might be
I could have been more
But I was so afraid
And all of my words
Just couldn't hold enough weight
I wish I could reach
Past the stars and past the moon
I just want to know
How far from me to you
I wish that we wrote
Oh God, I was so proud
It's just the words in my throat
I could never get them out
I see you now
In every wind and word
You finally got your feet off the ground
Now you're free as a bird
Wildflowers in half bloom
Dull colors paint the room
How could I ever blame you
Wildflowers in half bloom
Dull colors paint the room
How could I ever blame you

Flames

Flames
I close my eyes for a little and
Pretend that it's not really the end
But the flames keep rising, oh
I pull the covers over my head
Pretend not to hear what you just said
But the flames keep rising, oh
And I still can't call you on the phone
Where did you go, where did you go, where did you go?
Where did you go, where did you go, where did you go?
Where did you go, where did you go, where did you go?
Where did you go?
I pull the car to the shoulder and
Digest the pain that is surfacing
Some days I feel it breaking through my chest
We picked the bags up from your place
We watched the blue sky turn to grey
And just like a movie, over and over it plays
I just wish I could reach you by the phone
Where did you go, where did you go, where did you go?
Where did you go, where did you go, where did you go?
Where did you go, where did you go, where did you go?
I close my eyes and you were gone from me
I close my eyes and it all feels like a dream
There in the middle of the night
I saw it on the T.V.
Flames, God knows why
It feels just like a bad dream
Just like a bad dream
Just like a bad dream
If I did say all I wanted, would it have changed how it ended?
If I did say what I should have, would you have stayed?
And it might always feel like it was just yesterday

The End
02:04
|

The earth was dull
The waves got so old
Your face a blur in the rear view mirror
Eyes so thin
Limbs shaking
It’s the end
Right here
Eyes so thin
Limbs shaking
It’s the end
Right here

I never wanted it this way
I never wanted it to cut us down like that
I never wanted it this way
Cross my heart and hope to die
Why does it feel wrong
Feeling this high
Something kicked me in the side and said
Love will leave you high and dry
Floating across the desert sky
Kissing stars while we fly by
Can you hear that voice inside saying
Love will leave you high and dry
Called me names and said goodbye
You wonder why I never replied
Did it make you feel good inside
Love it leaves you high and dry
It's the risk you take i don't know why
It was always tearing up my mind
Can’t you see I’m torn inside
Because love it leaves you high and dry
Plain and simple
You and I, are just shattered pieces left behind
I could never say goodbye
Love will leave you high and dry
I never wanted it this way
I never wanted it to cut us down like that
I never wanted it this way

Hard Feelings
03:23
|

We've built something just to watch it fall
A blackened summer, know it's not your fault
You see though my friends they're all talking
Say they know of your kind
But I'm still trying to make sense of it all
It's fine I've got time
I've got time to figure it out
Now you're gone and I'm left
With all these hard feelings
But it's fine I've got time
I've got time to figure this out
Now you're gone and I'm left
With these hard feelings
I can't fathom never having you as my friend
But sometimes seasons end too soon
And we are forced to forget
The winter bleeds into the spring
It carries your scent
Well I'll hold you in my heart
Hold you in my heart as long as I can
It's fine I've got time
I've got time to figure it out
Now you're gone and I'm left
With all these hard feelings
But it's fine I've got time
I've got time to figure this out
Now you're gone and I'm left
With these hard feelings
It's fine I've got time
I've got time to figure it out
Now you're gone and I'm left
With all these hard feelings
But it's fine I've got time
I've got time to figure this out
Now you're gone and I'm left
With these hard feelings

Work It On Out
03:45

I'm sure we'll work it out
I'm sure I'll see you later
I'm sure we'll work it on out
I'm sure I'll see you see you
I'm feeling distant
You're always so calculated
Don't say you're sorry
I'm just feeling isolated
I've got my problems
You've got your places
And I won't dare resolve them
Inside your sacred spaces
I'm feeling distant
You're always so calculated
Don't say you're sorry
I'm just feeling isolated
I've got my problems
You've got your places
And I won't dare resolve them
Inside your sacred spaces
I'm sure we'll work it out
I'm sure I'll see you later
I'm sure we'll work it on out
I'm sure I'll see you later
I'm sure this won't come crashing on down
I'm sure I'll see you later
I'm sure we'll work it on out
I'm sure I'll see you see you
My heart skips a few
At the memory of you
My pulse goes off beat
When I think of you touching me
I want you so bad
Can't you give me something?
We go in circles
You fill me up then leave me starving
My heart skips a few
At the memory of you
My pulse goes off beat
When I think of you touching me
I want you so bad
Can't you give me something?
We go in circles
You fill me up then leave me starving
I'm sure we'll work it out
I'm sure I'll see you later
I'm sure we'll work it on out
I'm sure I'll see you later
I'm sure this won't come crashing on down
I'm sure I'll see you later
I'm sure we'll work it on out
I'm sure I'll see you see you
I'm sure we'll work it out
I'm sure I'll see you later
I'm sure we'll work it on out
I'm sure I'll see you later

Swim
03:20

(Spark)
(Catch me)
Lit a match and watched it spark
Kindled up my fractured heart
Dancing as I fall apart
Will you catch me?
Come and hold my broken bones
Keep me warm when it gets cold
Honey love can be so cruel
Not with me
I can show you
A different kind of lovin’
Moving closer in time
Seeing stars oh
How you had me blushin’
Play it back in my mind
You forced your way in my head
Now I’m underwater and trying
To catch my breath
Another wave rolls in
But I think I can swim
Trying not to let it show
I think you get the hint
You know I’m in
I’m driving all over town at midnight
(Oh)
You’ve been all in my head gotta unwind
(Oh)
I’ve been drowning lately in your riptide
(Oh)
Gotta get up high
Gotta get up high
Lit a match and watched it spark
Under California stars
Dancing and I’m falling hard
Will you catch me?
Lay your head down next to mine
Let our bodies intertwine
Honey love can be so blind
Not with me
I can show you
A different kind of lovin’
Moving closer in time
Seeing stars oh
(Oh)
How you had me blushin’
(Oh)
Play it back in my mind
(Oh)
You forced your way in my head
Now I’m underwater and trying
To catch my breath
Another wave rolls in
But I think I can swim
Trying not to let it show
I think you catch my drift
You know I’m in
You forced your way in my head
(Oh)
Now I’m underwater and trying
(Oh)
To catch my breath
(Oh)
Another wave rolls in
(Oh)
But I think I can swim
(Oh)
Trying not to let it show
(Oh)
I think you get the hint
(Oh)
You know I’m in
(Spark)
(Catch me)

Bloom Baby Bloom

Beautiful futures
In a moment disappeared
All that I had known suddenly
Became so damn unclear
Pictures that we’d paint
How they change with the time
Visions from our youth
Begin to dissolve with every line
Well there went my heart
Six feet in the earth
And all that was pure and perfect
Had left and gone away with her
And all that we had hoped
Was like dust in the wind
Thinking to myself
Will I ever come away from this?
Will I ever, will I ever, will I ever?
Then I saw yellow flowers start to bloom
Just like all the pictures that you drew
I hung up every one up in my room
Because they remind me of you
I was sitting criss cross on my roof
Trying to catch the stars that burned out too soon
That's when I heard your voice coming through
Singing,” Bloom, Bloom Baby Bloom”
Come on baby bloom
Baby bloom
Come on baby
Baby bloom
Come on baby bloom
Baby bloom
Come on now won’t ya?
Baby bloom
Come on baby bloom
Baby bloom
Come on now won’t ya?
