I've grown tired of my place out here Rest assure that you're still home Living all alone with ghosts And I wish I was the most out there But you're too closed to find your place and care All these places and disgraces Leaving all your hopes behind Maybe you're just there for me Since you have nowhere else to be And leading me to somewhere sadly where I don't think I belong Chorus: But I was born when we first me In the places where I'll regret Hold me tight when it gets dark And I'll lead you there with an only spark For me to hold you still, but for you, I will All the glistens in your eyes They speak louder than an abstract mime Where we cross our parallels And I'll only wish you well when you start to become A little more like what you saw in me Chorus: But I was born when we first me In the places where I'll regret Hold me tight when it gets dark And I'll lead you there with an only spark For me to hold you still, but for you, I will

The Same Now 03:19
Well I'm sitting by this train track Waiting for the sun to come back up for you And only time will tell Like a pretty maiden's eyes Sinking little lover's ships I'd be up against all I'd ever seen Well I've gone home and my loneliness is traveling through my bones I wish that I was leaving and it's a shame that I have grown Since I've been tired of the leaves changing and talking to my ghosts If I can't be the same now then I guess I'll never know If we're rolling through desires and a journey with no end I'll declare myself to mine my thoughts away And if you rest assure again Like a diamond on your wire Then I've been struck by apophenia, selling meaning out I've come undone by all the ins and outs that I have strung And your tear drops shake me more than a black hat's loaded gun As the lawyers teach me how to be their one and only favorite son If I can't be the same now, then I guess they all have won But I can't hide and escape from this lovely, truthful tribe As I mingle with the tenure of your weary, starry sky You can forget the melodramas with a whisper as you die If I can't be the same now, then I guess I'll have to lie

Back Home 04:36
I'll take a walk way down south If it'll mean that I'll get to you We'll make amends by our picket fence And then circle the sun if you Chorus: Say you'll love me when you come back home Say you'll love me when you come back home And if you're close, I'll bury your toes In the sands that brought you here And if you're words are all I ever heard I'd be fine if all I'd hear is you Chorus: Say you'll love me when you come back home Say you'll love me when you come back home Bridge: But I don't know if I'm getting closer To closing off my distance Colored feathers and stormy weathers Will define our coexistence Chorus: Say you'll love me when you come back home Say you'll love me when you come back home Say you'll love me when you come back home Say you'll love me when you come back home

It's set in closer to my eyes With you just sleeping there How I wish I could compromise with you And if it's always understood It's also always there And then I know I'm out for good with you You just notice as I speak As I'm too crazy for The things that make you come between you and me And I just know that I'm no good Tell me one decision And then I know I'm out of the woods from you But you're just taking mine You're just leaving high and dry And I'm not closer to the things that make you operate like you do And I'm just standing there As you're just going where you go And all of this I find, God I wish I knew what was going on inside This is not where I belong With voices that I came across But only wished that I'd be wrong again And you're just talking with your lines And if it's closer too All the things I wish that I could hide from you With your just sleeping there And I'm just standing face to face With all we know that's working And I don't know if it's with you who I can anymore And you're just sleeping there Standing with your wavy hair And all of this I find God, I wish I knew what was going on inside Going on inside God, I wish I knew what was going on inside
5.
I start talking in my sleep now Saying what I can’t to you Mandatory cab rides But it’s coming through, it’s coming though in twos And if the skies are waiting for you To bury all your tears and dreams The furtherest star are the ones to aim for Until you realize, the shooting ones aren’t seen And you say Chorus “If I hold you, would you stay here, Stay another day with me?” I’ve grown tired of all the prophets and the psychics Telling me, what they can’t easily see, which is what you mean to me Abiding universality The generic man in me The lawless coming of devastation I’ll be your one way out if you’re the serpent to my seed Casting spells of political elements Believe a counterfeit bride too Begging saints of Babylon To reveal if the eighth mountain was made for you But you just said Chorus “If I hold you, would you stay here, Stay another day with me?” I’ve grown tired of all the prophets and the psychics Telling me, what they can’t easily see, which is what you mean to me Bridge Well they said we wouldnt make it But I’ve seen balloon parades make it though a road of blades And they said it wouldn’t matter While they passed color bars in eleven shades of grey Riding through a tortured bottle Still believing truths I speak But I forget who I’m convincing Embracing presage, of the last seventy weeks But you said Chorus “If I hold you, would you stay here, Stay another day with me?” I’ve grown tired of all the prophets and the psychics Telling me, what they can’t easily see, which is what you mean to me

Save your song for somebody else Because I don't know your words anymore And you're so ambitious You would even crawl to the stars if you had to You say that nothing's out of you're reach Like anything ever was The sky is dark except for some bright lines above So close your eyes and make a wish So close your eyes and make a wish Close your eyes and make a wish You're all alone so you might as well sit tight And wish yourself out of this night You're on your mound and no one could ever knock you down But you're still the girl with the dirty mouth Tie your shoes and fix the back of your dress And how could someone not say enough And how could someone not say enough And how could someone not say enough When all you are is just the words that I hear Then I guess I'm just a pair of ears But you're smile is all I need to see Yes, you're smile is all I ever really need to see You're mentally gone but as long as you're here that's all that matters Since you don't care it'll just shatter
7.
The tone of your voice is inviting Your actions, they seem like they're fighting The urge to stay here and talk it out But if you wanted, oh if you wanted We could wait until the clouds passed by Please don't take me out of your sight Hold me closer but not too close Because I'm afraid to get too attached I'd rather say that I was than to say I've never been But go ahead and just leave me right now Go ahead and just leave me right now Go ahead and just leave me right now

Redbox 03:48
Happiness is what I need from you Is it so much to ask Frustrated is all I get from you Seems my question was too much Love is what we all could use right now Open up and say you care Don't hate the fact that you're by yourself tonight Someone out there needs you bad Disguise the way you really feel Don't you dare let me figure you out It's nice when you say that we are real Because counterfeit thoughts are not allowed Loneliness cannot be felt by two So how can i feel this way around you And if we're meant to share this measly place Maybe my solitude will erase But you're redbox is calling you You're redbox is calling you You're redbox is calling you You're redbox is calling you

Joy Ride 03:02
I'll turn you on when I sit down inside I'll back you up so we can go for a ride Don't let me down because I need to get there real soon And if you stall that doesn't make sense Because you've automatically passed the test But shine your highlights out on me when it gets dark Chorus: Despite what it might seem to be Ten years gone and I couldn't see me with another When it's late you get me there safe Even though we could roll over this place I'm doing fine even though you break down sometimes Chorus: Inside you were all that I need to know Make it right so we take it real slow Still inside you're such a disaster I only wish I could get there faster But I'll wait just as long as we're in the same lane But i'll wait just as long as we're in the same lane
