Hold up your arms, I don't see you
Let tide return
Your tired limbs, sea and battered
I look for you
I will pull you from water
Let your lungs return to air
Take you back unto the shore
And lead you home
This ravaged mind, a thousand voices
They call for you
Draw near my hand, the swelling water
Your rest will come
I will pull you from water
Let your lungs return to air
Take you back unto the shore
And lead you home
I will pull you from water
Let your lungs return to air
Take you back unto the shore
This is my last chance to ever make it right
before they turn out every single light
and figure out that this is not my home
my mother warned me of people that would take advantage of my money and my grace
but she forgot to tell me i'm the same
and i'm the one to blame
and i was born to lay it on your back
cause i have chosen the sadness that you lack
but you won't let me back into your heart
oh god my bed is empty
oh god my bed is empty
and jesus told me that you would be okay if i began to go out on some dates
and find myself a body for my bed
and all your stories filled with cavious caveats
about the past you told me you forgot
but hold on tightly when no one is around
i'm terrified for the time you were gone
and how we both(?) intend to linger on
to keep me company at least just for a while
oh god my bed is empty
oh god my bed is empty
There's room between your heart
And the chair where I've been sleeping
The place that we called home
Will someday watch you leaving
There's room between today
And the last time that I saw you
The pictures in my brain
Will fade until I lose you
If you would come back home
We could start all over
If you would come back home
I swear it would be better
There's room left in the house
There's food still in the pantry
I could fix you lunch
Or take you out for coffee
If you would come back home
We could start all over
If you would come back home
I swear it would be better
Call the surgeon.
Mend the pieces.
Ain't seen you in quite awhile.
Seems I forgot how your face looks when you smile.
The interesting you that I gave,
the interesting me that you face.
Have you heard that I'm coming home as much as I can.
Always been out on the road.
I'll let you know when I'm in town,
so I just might see you when you come around.
Turn on the light, ready or not,
I'm not what you wanted, I'm what you got.
Open the door, roll out the mat,
welcome is welcome but you'll take it back.
When I come home.
I wish it could be like it was when we were young.
Those memories fade into dust.
I'll let you know when I'm in town,
so I just might see you when you come around.
Turn on the light, ready or not,
I'm not what you wanted, I'm what you got.
Open the door, roll out the mat,
welcome is welcome but you'll take it back.
I'm burdened and bound, you're on the loose,
I feel secure so untie this noose.
Gasping for air, trying to get free,
they say you'll find me, I say we'll see.

When I come home
Last night we watched our favorite tv shows
you packed my lunch for wednesday's shift, i laid out my clothes
i took my time to say goodnight before you closed your eyes
the hallway light reveals how you were taking up my side
that dress you wore is faded to the ivory that remains
the frame of wedding pictures looks ten years out of date
the toaster's been replaced since we even thanked them for the thought
the last time that we kissed, i saw you checking out the clock
what about now she says to herself and what about now?
what about now she says to herself, she says to herself.
the council of the wise can be the only way you go
(aunt gina cleansed)? in alcohol will somehow let us know
your mom and dad were right to tell us maybe we should wait
yet ten years down the road it seems maybe it's too late
what about now she says to herself and what about now?
what about now she says to herself she says to herself
goodnight
goodnight
i wish you'd stay
You were the only thing I ever loved
But taken for granted you couldn't stand it anymore
You were my lover for nearly 8 years
But I am my father and I found another
The last 16 months have been nothing but hell
I thought about jumping
That'd be something
In the short time that I'd learn how to fly
Would you forgive me
Or bring flowers to me by the grave?
Will you look the same
When I meet you up there?
Remember my name please
Will you look the same
When I meet you up there?
Remember my name
Find me to forgive
I haven't seen you for over a year
I head you were married, the baby you carried
Isn't mine
I don't suppose that you'll still have my name
You'll have another
There's room between your heart
And the chair where I've been sleeping
The place that we called home
Will someday watch you leaving
There's room between today
And the last time that I saw you
The pictures in my brain
Will fade until I lose you
If you would come back home
We could start all over
If you would come back home
I swear it would be better
There's room left in the house
There's food still in the pantry
I could fix you lunch
Or take you out for coffee
Box springs are stained with yellow pillows
Held our heads down
Holding the rain outside on the curb
Where I wasted half of your life
Both of our lives
Everything's closer to the end but
I will get farther from you
Everything's closer, it's the end but
I will get further from you
Your eyes are blue
But I can't see that color hue
It's been so dang long
God, I was wrong
I'm dead to you, you say we are friends but
What is a friend when there is a man who
Sleeps in your bed too
Everything's closer to the end but
I will get farther from you
Everything's closer, it's the end but
I will get further from you
I was wrong, I was wrong
I was wrong, I was wrong
Everything's closer to the end but
I will get farther from you
I will get farther from you
I will get farther from you
I will get farther form you
If I had known you better I could probably get my money back
From that old preacher and his organist who said she knew my dad
When we were younger and you promised me that you would wear my ring
But you were 14 years behind the time when you can mean such things
But I will hold on with my open hands
But I will hold on with my open hands
And I suppose I should decide what I can do with all your clothes
And closets full of all the places you and I will never go
Is it misguided that I can recall the day you left my bed
And asked your mom and dad if maybe you could stay with them instead
But I will hold on with my open hands
I never knew what it was like to be alone
I never wanted you to go back home
I'm so damn sorry for everything I did
I was just a stupid kid
These girls sings songs that I will never know
How love can last if you only let it grow
Were broken too like the fending of heart
But we only had a start
And my heart finds peace tonight
And my soul finds comfort there
in the knowledge that you'll someday
maybe be alright
I never wanted you to be alone
I never thought I could make a happy home
I'm so damn sorry for everything I did
But I'm still that stupid kid
And my heart finds peace tonight
And my soul finds comfort there
In the knowledge that you'll someday maybe
Mom and dad parted ways
We were young and got good grades then
Trees in yards meant to climb
We left home and never looked behind
To feel alone
We feel alone
You and I parted ways
I don't think I'll ever see your face
We latch on to a heart
Meant to hold but we get torn apart
To feel alone
Don't put your faith in my heart
I will only let you down
Don't let your love grow too deep
I don't think I'll be around
There is a curse in my bones
That'll breathe and fly again
Until when we both are ghosts
I will miss you like a friend
But they'll never take the good years
There are some that never burn
No they'll never take the good years
God I wish I would've learned
Don't be afraid to move on
You were meant to bear a child
Don't look for me when you're gone
Well, this is goodbye, the end of you and me
We've set this boat ablaze, pushed it out to sea
Nothing that's on board will survive
This is goodbye
Well, this is goodbye, not the kind we've had before
We're out of one more tries, won't be anymore
And all the grays have turned to black and white
This is goodbye
This is hard, this is hell, this is pain like I have never felt
Oh, this is final, love has failed
This is walking away from us to save ourselves
This is goodbye
Well, this is goodbye, in my heart there's no doubt
'Cause I can feel the broken pieces trying to cut their way out
Some of them I know I'll never find
This is goodbye
This is hard, this is hell, this is pain like I have never felt
This is final, love has failed
This is walking away from us to save ourselves
This is goodbye
This is final, love has failed
This is walking away from us to save ourselves
I've waited for this day for such a long time
you are everything i've waited for
if memory says i might be disappointed
cause a lifetime here with you will seem to short
all i see is white that's coming towards me
all i've wanted you within my arms
if it's required that i forsake all others
i'll do that and more
i've waited for this day for such a long time
i hope that i can be what you deserve
i hope the days get longer
and make this love grow stronger
She is like the water where I clean my baby
Floating from the front into the back to keep me
warm enough to cover me from getting chilly
Cool enough to hide me from the heat
She is like a splinter that I caught in my toe
running from the dog that chases me
sharp enough to teach a lesson that I must learn
soft enough to never make me bleed
And I will find you there
And I will mend your heart
And I will find you there
And I will mend your heart
She is like a cigarette inside an ashtray
Nothing but a fire sets her free
Filling up my lungs until my body needs her
holding on so I can never breathe
She is like a gravestone sitting in a church yard
Crooked from the ground in which she sleeps
Whispering our name until I go to meet her
Underneath the ground she finds her peace
And I will find you there
And I will mend your heart
And I will find you there
i still love you
i still want you
i still need you
afterall
for better or worse
sickness and health
til death do us part
afterall
please don't keep me
(please don't leave me)
please don't keep me
(please don't leave me)
please don't keep me
(please don't leave me)
afterall
(please don't)
afterall
(afterall)
afterall
(afterall)
afterall
(afterall)
afterall
Are you falling towards the evening
From the last light that you saw
From the corner of the curtain
Perching on the wall
And I kept the words you gave me
You're the song I try to sing
I was ruined when I saw you
To every living thing
In my blood and in my bones
In my blood and in my bones
You have burrowed to the mortar
I have nothing left to hide
You're the seed that's softly sowing
Ever to my side
In my blood and in my bones
In my blood and in my bones
Could you map this globe?
With a torment slowly rose
To a fear resigned
Quiet room I hope I find
Cut me open please
Cut me open please
With an alter robe
I have stumbled knife to lobe
In compulsion drown
Counting every phantom found
Cut me open please
Cut me open please
Cut me open please
Cut me open please
With a bridge I've killed
I will serotonin fill
To a fear resign
Quiet room I hope I find
Cut me open please
Cut me open please
Cut me open please
I've been locked out
For twenty years or so
What is this sage on me now
If memories serve
Then I should forget not
This staring glass
My leg's so frail
Like I havent stood in years
This gate's so wrong
I crawl towards you
Familiar I was where
The name escapes me now
Fade and then return
Fade and then return
Like babies breath
I'm holding onto air
My lung's a theif
Should I know you
A stranger though you seem
You feel like home
Fade and then return
Fade and then return
Fade and then return (Fade and then return)
Fade and then return (Fade and then return)
(What comes around) Fade and then return
(What comes around) Fade and then return
(What comes around) Fade and then return
Dialogue on weather, breeding in the pound
Fateful first-time meeting, life is in the ground
Icarus they caught you where you tumbled on
Encourage you to dive now the sun is gone
I just don't know
I just don't know
aah...
moon is torn asunder over faulty two
guillotines in shackles, heads roll for a few
I just don't know
I just don't know
I just don't know
I still hear you calling
When sleep is escaping me
I still hear you farther on
I see you in waking
A ghost in the window shade
My lover, the form you take
By my side, walk with me
Make this well by my side
We dance through the evening
You feather around my toes
I still hear the words you plead
By my side, walk with me
Hold on this will hurt more than anything has before
What it was, what it was, what it was
I've brought this on us more than anyone could ignore
What I've done, what I've done, what I've done
I've worked for so long just to see you mess around
What you've done, what you've done, what you've done
I want back the years that you took when I was young
I was young, I was young but it's done
Oh, take it all away
I don't feel it anymore
Oh, take it all away
Oh, take it all away
I don't feel it anymore
Oh, take it all away
We'll fall just like stars being hung by only string
Everything, everything, here is gone
No map can direct how to ever make it home
We're alone, we're alone, we're alone
Oh, take it all away
I don't feel it anymore
Oh, take it all away
Oh, take it all away
I don't feel it anymore
Should i decide it's true
that you would leave if given half the chance to go and
i'd be left here on my own
to find myself in bed
wishing everything that changed would be the same
the room still looks like you
it's a mess and all the pictures on the shelf are
dusted off by someone else
to keep me company
i haven't told her that your thought still lingers on
everyday's another chance to bury my regret
everyday's another chance to make it but i can't
but i can't
i saw you on my phone
on a contact list that isn't up to date
would have changed it with more time
that i require to
rid my mind of all the freckles on your face
and reconcile to what?
the ring i bought you is buried deep within the ground
behind the swing where we first met
and memory only serves
to remind of all the bruises you forgave
should i decide it's true
that you'd return if given half the chance to come...
You had this pattern of repeating every word that you would say
Every word that you would say
Till I met you with a sigh and to this day I still regret
How I made you go away
I saw the whole world from your eyes, at least the glimpse you let me see
And what a glimpse you let me see
But your eyes can never stretch, over boundaries made in stone
I'm afraid that's what will be
I imagine if I had another chance
To tell you all the things I should have said
We'd still find ourselves content in circumstance
But I'm content to say this anyway...
The day that you were hit by that car
My life changed
I was lost and out of touch, with the way you made me feel
With the way you make me feel
Everyday just passes now, and I can't count them on my own
And your face is never real
I imagine if I had another chance
To tell you all the things I should have said
We'd still find ourselves content in circumstance
Ain't seen you in quite awhile.
Seems I forgot how your face looks when you smile.
The interesting you that I gave,
the interesting me that you face.
Have you heard that I'm coming home as much as I can. Always been out on the road. I'll let you know when I'm in town, so I just might see you when you come around.
Turn on the light, ready or not, I'm not what you wanted, I'm what you got. Open the door, roll out the mat, welcome is welcome but you'll take it back.

Walked back home from this disaster
Saw your ghost under the plaster
Heart's in throat and broken to pieces
I'm coming home
Lost my way and gave up my treasure
Hid my heart and lost you forever
There's flesh in you that won't know her father
I can't come home
Loved you first when we were children
You broke my heart but all that's forgiven
We lost our chance to love one another
Today i saw my father standing in the graveyard
looking very somber looking for his mom
when he finally found her he said that it was different
everything is different nothing's really changed
my brother would remember sitting in the hallway
waiting for my father both of us were scared
when the doorknob turned we took off for the stairway
looking for some cover trying to get away
a guide dog had to serve the role that you would not let
the mother of your children every really play
the office was a dungeon where you hid your fears of
what would really happen if no one ever came
i wonder if you blamed yourself for when she left you
by closing up the garage door and turning on the car
your father must have lost it your sister couldn't help you
but dad if you were lonely you had no where to turn
of father can't you see the pieces that have fallen on the ground
when you and mom decided nothing could be saved inside this house
everything has changed
everything has changed
last night i had a dream that i was in the graveyard
looking at my father buried in the ground
i'd swear that i could hear him tell me he was sorry
On a rack in a store for a discount price
But the color's been changed to a black from white
Though the difference will prob'ly be lost on me
Anyways
And don't worry if laughter is on your lips
Cause you wouldn't be you if you changed for this
And I won't measure love from the tears that drip
From your face
i can't wait for you
i can't wait for you
i suppose i should hope that it turns out fine
But I hope that some sadness does cross your mind
And you'll look for me when you have crossed that line
Come one day
i can't wait for you
i can't wait for you
I still love you after all
i still love you after all
i still love you after all
i still love you after all
i still want you after all
i still want you after all
i still want you after all
i still want you after all
will you keep me after all
will you keep me after all
will you keep me after all
will you keep me after all
please don't leave me after all
please don't leave me after all
please don't leave me after all
please don't leave me after all
for better or worse after all
sickness and health after all
till death do us part after all
till death do us part
for better or worse (after all) after all
sickness and health (after all) after all
till death do us part (after all) after all
till death do us part
for better or worse (after all) after all
sickness and health (after all)
i still love you after all
till death do us part (after all)
i still love you after all
till death do us part
i still love, i still love
after all
after all
What hold this has on you?
Heavy shoulder
Your feet tied to the floor
Your former self would
Hate these fixtures
Of metal wire and wood
As you lay down in stranger's linen
The bluish scars you hide
Reminisce of sweet addiction
Strings you never tied
Would you bend these bars
That hold you?
Keep you from the peace
And stillness come
And lay your head
Beside a better burden
Until the heal has come
As you depart from
Short duration
And cut the bracelet off
The withered arm and
Port of entry
The living for the numb
I would bend these bars
That hold you
Keep you from the peace
And stillness come
And lay your head
Beside a better burden
Until the heal has come
You will see sunrise again
You will see sunrise again
You will see sunrise again
Unfurl your gown
A distant fuller skin
I knew you once
My God the sun
The windows bear your bones
Reveal your crime
Beautiful girl
Let the sunrise come again
Beautiful girl
Your sailor eyes
The water in the well
A thirst to fill
Let down your arms
The purging of this dark
The fall to free
Beautiful girl
Let the sunrise come again
Beautiful girl
May the weight of world resign
I offer myself to you
Though I am a broken thing
A cardinal with severed wing
In morning to hide my face
Though I am a sunderer
Guised in maternal grace
Heir to a crippled ground
My little Elysium
My god how I've let you down
Let me fall
Through the ground
Where you fell
Back to you
We burn like Centralia
Lost in the ash below
Hoping to find a home
So far may you run from me
To cities with living leaves
No fire to fear beneath
So like your
Father in the face and blood
Terrified and cold
And whispers
The coming of a cleansing flood
For you
You hide your
Filthy hands from all of us
Still unseen and tied
What water
These killing hands could ever clean
Still you run
I want to be changed from
The shadow and the tomb
Like water rushing over us
The tide pulls from the moon
Your mother
The passing of a silver ring
Oversized and cold
This specter
Will walk the halls of every seed
From you
I want to be changed from
The shadow and the tomb
Like water rushing over us
The tide pulls from the moon
The tide pulls from the moon
She spent most her life on the floor with her heart
To this she's condemned and can never be part
She tries by herself on a debt to pay
I don't think today's gonna be her day
Those cuts on her arm didn't come from shame
This past in denial and accusation
Those thoughts in her head will soon come true
A tragic display of dreamers consumed
The hand cannot reach to the phone of her soul
Perhaps that's the lesson I've got to know
Her body was found on a Sunday morn
Her spirit found rest her heartbeat unturned
And I will sleep to get there
And I will sleep together
And I will sleep to get there
And I will sleep together
I burned every single letter after your phone call
And I returned every sweater you bought me from the mall
And the tattered pictures I've kept deep inside my wall
Let me know that I might not be over you at all
I was lost when I first met you looking for a chair
But the smile brought me closer couldn't break my stare
But I only had one night to keep you for myself
But you were made for something better, bigger than my hell
I will never let you go
I will never let you go
If you get away but find me standing there
I will never let you go
There's a suitcase where your bag is sewed up from the past
And it haunts you like the ghost that's shackled to your back
And I don't know how to help you stomach all the grief
That I see in his reflection showing on your face
I will never let you go
I will never let you go
If you get away but find me standing there
And all of these days they pass like water
Should I even tighten the grip of my hand?
I get the sense that we're all chasing after
The same simple thing that I don't understand
To carry you on
And you wear a color that I don't remember
Your hair so much shorter than it used to be
Years cannot change all the secrets we gathered
Years cannot change what you still mean to me
To carry you on
Carry you on
Carry you on
Tied to me
I'd like to linger with you till the morning
And pretend the winter has given to spring
Fade into this like we both used to be
To carry you on
Carry you on
Carry you on
Tied to me
Carry you on
Tied to me
Carry you on
Tied to me
Carry you on
Tied to me
Carry you on
In the night I hear ´em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless...
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talking to me yo
You need to watch the way you talking to me you know
I mean after all the things that we been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know of some things that you ain´t told me
And yo I did some things but that´s the old me
And now you wanna get me back
And you gon´ show me
So you walk around like you don´t know me
You got a new friend
I got memories
But in the end it´s still so lonely
In the night I hear ´em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless...
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so Dr. Evil
You´re bringing out a side of me that I don´t know
I decided we weren´t gonna speak so why we up 3 a.m. on the phone
You run and tell your friends that you´re leavin´ me
They say that they don´t see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon´ see
You´ll never find nobody better than me
In the night I hear ´em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless...
How could you be so heartless?
Talkin´ talkin´ talkin´ talk
Baby lets just knock it off
They don´t know what we been through
They don´t know ´bout me and you
Ggot something new to see
And you just gon´ keep hatin´ me
And we just gon´ be enemies
I know you can´t believe
In the night I hear ´em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
She's not the one I would choose if I was 17
At least if I had one more chance to
please find a way to let me go my way
and you can do the same if there's still time.
The door to the bedroom doesn't close as tight
As you've made your heart to keep me out
And why would I risk another honeymoon
Considering the first one didn't take
I know you'll leave me by myself
I know you'll leave me by myself
Oh we'll attend to me when I grow old
You'll be raising someone else's kids
And I don't suppose you'd think about a trade
The years that we both wasted for your health
I know you'll leave me by myself
I know you'll leave me by myself.
If you sign the papers when I'm not around
Try for now to use your maiden name
And don't find someone who treats you like I did
You deserve a better man than me
I know you'll leave me by myself
Shove me out to see
The sea
The quiet of December
To the deep I turn
From the wreck I bless
This mess
For what I can remember
Your ghost I burn
Why do I always feel
Like I'm waiting to begin?
Why do I always feel
Like I'm waiting to begin?
Lay me down this sound
Unbound
The birds of spring returning
Your ghost I burn
Shall I sleep to keep
This peace?
The winter from her leaving
To the bow I run
Why do I always feel
Like I'm waiting to begin?
Why do I always feel
Like I'm waiting to begin?
Why do I always feel
Like I'm waiting to begin?
Why do I always feel
How this feels like a floating
For the physical form you crave
And the gentle reminders
Hovering still the same
For the curative portion
The dysthymic of bold and blue
You are softened and hollow
Reflecting this winter hue
Wounded head
You will be fine
Your weary legs
Will hold you in time
So you open the window
Wipe the gray from your salted eyes
Feel the string that once broken
Mended and slowly tied
Hope for remedies comfort
For the listless and looming moon
And the ghost of your father
Follow you home no more
Let water run through
Won't you open your eyes?
Let water run through
Wounded head
You will be fine
Your weary legs
Will hold you in time
Wounded head
You will be fine
Your weary legs
Be still
Bird of winter prey
Lay down
Your faster thinning frame
Be gone
The salting of the wound
Return
The harvest we once knew
We're more than just the blood of what we've done
We're more than just the blood of what we've done
Dry mouth
The water soon will rise
New birds
Will feather up the sky
Shake until they pass
What words of them will last
We're more than just the blood of what we've done
We're more than just the blood of what we've done
Let sleep your eyes until the morning comes
We're more than just the blood of what we've done.
15 months and they would
Drag you from your throne
But you ain't got no place to go
You're the bad one from the day you were born
You can run
I dont think that you can hide
Have you found the knife and cigarettes inside of your locker with your books?
Smoking weed with Joe and Rock inside his house
You can run
I don't think that you can hide
(Chorus)
Mom wants you to come back home
She keeps crying when I call her on the phone
Won't you give this thing a chance?
You were not what you were
When you were young
You were not what you were
When you were young
I was fucked up when you needed me the most
Trying to starve myself to death
I still feel like I did something always wrong
You can run
I don't think that you can hide
(Chorus)
Mom wants you to come back home
She keeps crying when I call her on the phone
Won't you give this things a chance?
Cause you were not what you were
When you were young
You were not what you were
To cut out the figure
The grounding of this
Let melancholic drown
To greener reminders
Of better pastures
You're beautiful and found
Embattled walls that I have raised
To only bring you down
A fortune I would gladly trade
To swim within the sound
I wish you would
I wish you would
I will never, I will never
I will never let you break
I will never, I will never
I will never let you break
The burn of the summer
When I first saw you
Still upon my brow
The gentle refusal
The fear you flourish
Let peel away from now
The red that I have run so long
The penchant for this flight
The memory of this overcomes
Lifting now to light
I wish you would
I wish you would
I will never, I will never
I will never let you break
I will never, I will never
I will never let you break
I will never, I will never
I will never let you break
I will never, I will never
Be still
Bird of winter prey
Lay down
Your faster thinning frame
Be gone
The salting of the wound
Return
The harvest we once knew
We're more than just the blood of what we've done
We're more than just the blood of what we've done
Dry mouth
The water soon will rise
New birds
Will feather up the sky
Shake until they pass
What words of them will last
We're more than just the blood of what we've done
We're more than just the blood of what we've done
Let sleep your eyes until the morning comes
Don't it feel like rain today?
Still I think we walk
You have grayed since younger days
In slower rhythm talk
You have been a stronger wind
The guiding of my right
The ever present confidant
A light in these dark eyes
I want you like no one else ever could
I want you like no one else ever could, do you?
I will lay her down tonight
Beneath the grass and bay
Ever she will walk this field
Ever she remains
I want you like no one else ever could
I want you like no one else ever could
I want you like no one else ever could
I want you like no one else ever could, do you?
Don't you wait for the sky to fall?
Don't you wait for the sky to fall?
Don't you wait for the sky to fall?
This was never the way I planned, not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand, lost my discretion
It's not what I'm used to, just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you caught my attention
I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it, I hope my girlfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right, don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
No, I don't even know your name, it doesn't matter
You're my experimental game, just human nature
It's not what good girls do, not how they should behave
My head gets so confused, hard to obey
I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it, I hope my girlfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right, don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it, I liked it
Us girls we are so magical, soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist, so touchable, too good to deny it
It ain't no big deal, it's innocent
I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it, I hope my girlfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right, don't mean I'm in love tonight
I should not have hid
where my heart can't follow
cause this grace gets so far
and too hard to swallow
i've been running from Saul,
he's been giving chase
when i look in his eyes
all i see is my face
are you still on my back
after all these years?
chasing me out of hell
and my nice veeners
i don't know how you stand
when you've got no floor
or how you can breathe
with your hands on boards
i just want to be not what i am today
i just want to be better than my friends might say
i just want a small part in your passion play
do you hear when i call
in the midst of wrong?
do you hear these here words
while i sing this song?
are you caught up in me
like i heard you say?
or just some big cashier
And she comes to me when I am in my sleep
Let the night fall here to hurry her again
Like a thief I wait to steal her to my arm
She is gold in shadow and she will remain
Let the night fall, well, if only here to stay
Let the night come, well, if only to remain
And I hold on even when the morning comes
Like a bird resists, the pushing from a nest
She will shelter me when daylight bends below
I will be with her in shadow once again
Let the night fall well, if only here to stay
My children are born
But I'm still half afraid
They'll turn out like me and this mess I've made
This marriage I've taken for granted for so long
That trip that I took to the school back in March
You stayed with your sister
That girl that I told you was only a friend
Turns out that I kissed her
My sister's a wreck
She has been for years
She fought with her father
I wonder if he knows she'll be alright
Because God can fix her.
I know I can't be forgiven
Why would I try?
I know I can't be forgiven
Why waste my time?
That guy that you talked to over the phone
You said you were lonely
I gave you permission to call his part
If you cook for me only
I left all my shirts in the closet upstairs
Right next to the bathroom
I wonder if you could make sure they were clean
Before you return them
I know I can't be forgiven
Why would I try?
I know I can't be forgiven
Why waste my time?
Because I can't find my way home
I'm not comfortable with how we never talk
And I miss you since you went out for that walk
Its been 13 months since May
It still feels like yesterday
I was scared to fix what I had broke
Its a lonely place to live with just a ghost
There is love left in my life, I will see
But you still hurt me
I can still see all your clothes thrown on the floor
There are friends who never call me anymore
I remember throwing out all of your things
But I think I kept your ring
I'm not comfortable with how the story ends
We were lovers and now we're not even friends
You were perfect and I guess I'm just a creep
This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what
I'm used to
Just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention
I kissed a girl I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
hope my girlfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl I liked it
No I don't even know your name
It doesn't matter
You're my expiramental game
Just human nature
It's not what
Good girls do
Not how they should behave
My head gets
So confused
Hard to obey
I kissed a girl I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
hope my girlfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl I liked it
You girls you are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
It ain't no big deal, it's innocent
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
hope my girlfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl I liked it
How long should I wait before I let you go?
How long should I decide?
Whose side should I take
When both of us were wrong?
When we both share the blame
Oh but I love you even still even now
Even though we fell apart
Even still even now
But I hope we'll meet again
Whose eyes will you look in
When love is in your heart?
Whose hand will hold your ring?
Whose voice will serenade
To help your baby sleep?
To make it all okay
Oh but I love you
Even still even now
Even though we fell apart
Even still even now
And I hope we'll meet again
Even still even now
Even though we fell apart
Even still even now
Broadest road that I can travel
I am drawn by what I see
Spirit living deep inside me
Is fighting to be free
I'm a homeless man who's trying
(And I do not have a home yet)
Find a place to lay his head
Find some comfort in this journey
(Just another taste of pleasure)
At least before I'm dead
There she is inside, waiting on another
Chance to make it right
There she waits until, her brokenness can brake her
And finally be still
And these sidewalks speak of demons
(There are demons all around me)
They are stepping on my toes
And my head just spins in circles
(I can't even stop this movement)
Round and round it goes
And I've got so many pipers
(And i think I hear my song now)
Leading me right to my death
I'm a slave to my indifference
(And I'm comfortable in chains now)
I'm a corpse with borrowed breath
There she is inside, waiting on another
Chance to make it right
There she waits until, her brokenness can brake her
Moonlight will fall
Winter will end
Harvest will come
Your heart will mend
Good morning
Good morning
You will find love
Good morning
You will find love
You will find love
You will find love
Good morning
You will find love
Good morning
My demons walk with me
They told me not to leave them alone
I put you on that tree
I tore your heart to pieces
You swept me off my feet
You gave your heart to me alone
I left you out at sea
I left you there to bleed
But please forgive me
Please, please forgive me
My demons waltz with me
I begged them not to leave me alone
And so your heart is free
Fourteen years is all you made it
till forgiveness was frustrated
I was sorry you missed Christmas
do you think that you'll still miss us
i was angry when you left us
and it showed up on my mattress
and i told myself it's better
if we only talk in letters
you broke my heart
you broke my heart
did you think about my mother
when you shared the same bed cover
did you wonder if it changed her
when your sons became your stranger
when will you admit your lonely
since we split apart the family
all the pictures are updated
all of us are separated
you broke my heart
you broke my heart
you broke my heart
i don't feel it anymore
you broke my heart
I don't feel it anymore
Love me, treasure me
Say you'll never leave me
Lollipop, my lollipop
Hold me, pleasure me
Say you'll always need me
Lollipop, my lollipop
Love is sweet
Sugar sweet
You're a sweet as candy
Lollipop, my lollipop
Baby please marry me
Tell me that you love me
Lollipop, my lollipop

Say you'll never leave me
Lollipop, my lollipop

This house is full of secrets that i
have kept from her for far too long
i hope i make it through the day
my conduct should be suspect and my
intentions should be checked buy i'm to
involved in making plans for my soul
her heart is full of kindness that she's
given away and now she is tired
of all the parts of life that she made
she tries to help out everyone
but i can only help myself
i question whether she knows she's safe
i hope you find it
cause i could not find it in me
i can't say when i'll leave you for good
my selfish heart hopes you don't go first
God knows i couldn't make it one day
i'll ask that you find someone to help
like you treated me like you were myself
you broke your back to make it okay
these parts of life that i cannot hold
you carry me along with your load
you're more than i could ever repay
i hope you find it
There are words inside my bedroom
scribbled all across the wall
saying something bout the way that
you won't talk to us at all
and i don't believe your protest
that you swear you didn't know
how to even change a diaper
or to teach me how to throw
please don't go
please don't go
there were words you told my brother
how you never had the choice
to decide if you would father
two rambunctious little boys
please don't go
please don't go
now we're stuck in this together
and i don't think i can run
from the ties that you have started
