Hope 02:53
Give me just enough hope and I’ll hang myself Instead of sitting here to sulk when I am with anyone else And if that silence is telling, you could hear a pin drop, no one’s gonna change, least of all, I’m not And pretty girls make a mess of everything Pretty girls make a mess of everything When you give them their own song to sing, when you let ‘em pull at your heartstrings And I don’t! But pretty girls, they get away with everything Bluebirds over Manhattan are crows in New Jersey But I only hear a joyful noise when you’re flying over me Dear Miss, how can this be? When I close my eyes, yours is the only face I see But soon you’ll be running and then you’ll disappear, I’ll be the one left stranded here Like a kite, twisting in the breeze, where happy endings are not guaranteed SO LET IT GO, DON’T SAY NO SO LET IT GO, DON’T SAY NO

Fuse 03:25
This is when the bar clears out, this is when the lights go up Cheers to whoever you’re leaving with tonight, if it isn’t me, it isn’t me And we can’t stop falling in love And we can’t stop pulling the plug This song is what we do for ourselves, this is for no one else And the book says the past, the past has passed us by, but the past is not through with us, no, not this time When I’m with you, it’s electric When I touch you, there’s a charge and a kick When I kiss you, it’s kinetic But we’re here waiting for the fuse to quit

Sun Damage 04:13
Cold water on a burning heart You can douse the flames, but there’s always another spark Cold shoulders and broken arms And it’s such cold comfort seeing just how hard we’ve fallen All my friends like you, don’t you know? You wind ‘em up and then you let ‘em go You know you’re so charming when you bat those eyes You wind ‘em up and then you make ‘em cry I'm always losing you Who am I losing to? All my friends like you, yes they do It’s so damn easy to fall in love with you I always wonder if we are enough or if we’re just not made to amount to much I always wonder if we are enough I am in love with your sun-damaged skin And all the things that are bound within it I am in love with the words you make The way your mind moves you to create them I am in love with the shapes your lips make I am in love with the way the sounds escape I always wonder if we are enough Or if we’re just not made to amount to much! I always wonder if we are enough Or if we’re just not made to amount to much! I always wonder if we are enough...

Arc 02:29
Years spin ‘round like a 45 Singing along to the same old lines Humming out of tune just to keep the beat alive Oh, the rhythm of the same sad song With the same sad excuses just to get along And the beat slows down but the beat goes on and on This is the sound, this is the sound This is the sound of our history repeating [Blink and you might miss it] And it might seem trite This star-crossed night But your white skin In the arc of the light... It seems to me this is why we’re alive It's clear to me this is why we’re alive

Sub 02:51
Your head's getting cloudy, you knew it would The water's getting deep, and you can feel it in your blood 1000 leagues and you can't feel the sun We've only each other to lean on It’s getting heavy on me And these are heavy things We’re taking water in We’re taking water in Our satellites are falling down We’re sinking deeper in the sound And it's a bottomless fate we chase So what when the machine shudders and shakes? What when it's taken all it can take? Will we chase it til there's nothing left to break? This is our descent

The call came in, the ID said New York You said you were trying harder and harder, but you were still falling short Had your fill of scuttling notions and burying emotions You can’t put words on the way you think you feel And there isn’t any sense in building a bridge over the space inside your heart It’s a sinkhole, darling, and the two sides are only getting further and further apart Still the rain pours in, the rain pours down The rain pours in, and we are just trying to keep our feet on solid ground We’ll head down to Nashville and I’ll start a country rock band Play in every bar in town, and we'll dance with the drunks if they can take our sound And then we’ll hit the road when we’ve worn our welcome out Head for 65, and I’ll let you decide whether we head north or south And there isn’t any sense in building a bridge over the space inside your heart It’s a sinkhole, darling, and the two sides are only getting further and further apart Still the rain pours in, with the sound of a southern storm The rain pours in, and we are left wanting more We’ll run it 'til the car goes bust 'Til the gas runs out and the engine’s spitting dust And if we end up in Mexico on a windswept sunny shore With country desert desolation and never needing more And when we head into some provincial town I will sputter with my Spanish, you can laugh and point around Because your bright face speaks to everyone And there isn’t any sense in building a bridge over the space inside your heart It’s a sinkhole, darling, and the two sides are only getting further and further apart So let’s let it go to hell and we’ll just go... So let’s let it go to hell and we’ll just go...
