if there was any way
i could be there
instead of here
ya know i would
crushed little purple pills
on the window sill
just to prove we’re in love
it’s short wave
got it made
show up late for the big parade
sometimes it comes
sometimes it goes
mostly
you just don’t know
CHORUS:
cut the cord darling
cause baby i love
when you sing
if i could be
anyone but me
i’d probably be
you
a bleach blonde nihilistic queen
with a thousand and one
hairdos
it’s a different face
for every place
ya lose the war but ya win the race
i’ve said it before
i’ll say it again
you and me should just be friends
CHORUS
if there was any way
i could be there
instead of here
ya know i would

Get It Together Ed
03:13

waking up before sunset
i consider that a success
anything else is just too much for me
we're going down on this boone's farm
we aint safe but we mean no harm
and i hope that's something
that you can see
CHORUS:
get it together ed
it's all inside your head
we've been here before
and we'll probably be here again
we've got this box of wine
let's make the most of summertime
you and me
slippin on down the line
we went down to the liquor store
but they don't let us in there no more
it might have something to do
with how we act
and your dad he thinks
that we're a mess
i ain't guilty but i'll confess
i'm trying my best
to leave behind the past
CHORUS
so we drove out to cypress lake
as you poured that vodka in the lemonade
i felt the summer breeze kiss my face
sometimes i forget
i know you so well
and i don't know if this is heaven or hell
but i wouldn't trade it
for any other place
CHORUS

Melt Your Mind
02:37
|
|||
|
ruby loved her last man
before i knew her well
she thinks the stars are scars
from being stuck so far
'tween heaven and hell
CHORUS:
down in the parking lot
we hate to think most times
cause the past drags us blind
but i will try
to melt your mind
ruby only smiles
when she knows she's lost
but if it's everyday that you can't find your way
maybe you burn bridges
so you won't have to cross
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
ruby i'm here
to help you fade
i hope that's clear
every night
every day
ruby kisses me
but never on the lips
in the middle of the night i hold her tight
and it's like we
never exist
CHORUS

over the last hill
over the last piece of map
that you couldn't read
i'll bet
you'll find
everything you need
CHORUS:
oh there was something
waiting
in that last room
for you
if you ever find the comfort
won't you tell me
all the things
i never knew
they've got all your bones
they've got all your breath
they took every single thing
and you've
got what's left
CHORUS
over the last hill
over the last piece of map
that you couldn't read
i'll bet
you'll find
everything you need
CHORUS

Feel The Night

|
i feel the night
when you’re
by my side
it comes
in waves
sometimes
somedays
CHORUS:
it is my dream
to make you happier
than you have ever been
i will do my best for you
and then i’ll do it again
i feel alive
when you’re
in my eyes
now it’s so clear
i’m gone
when you’re
not here
CHORUS
i’ll get it right
when you’re
in my life
if the stars crashed
in the sea
i’d still have you
you’d still have me
CHORUS

I Wanna Be An Architect
02:50

if dreams
are just dreams
then what are we scared of?
we're actors ruining scenes
and misunderstanding
love
CHORUS:
what
i don't know
and what
you won't say
always seems to grow
a little every day
juggling stars
out there
on the wire
i said all my prayers
as we both walked through
the fire
CHORUS
if dreams
are just dreams
then what
are we scared of?
actors ruining scenes
and misunderstanding
love

Beach Day
03:40
|
|||
|
i remember it well
though i couldn't tell
you a single thing
that happened
the cigarette smells
the broken church bells
the way nothingness can
spring into action
as i sat in the car
and stared at the stars
i realized what you meant about
last summer
the weight of the world
and such a pretty girl
living with all
the darkness
we uncovered
CHORUS:
sometimes i read the signs
sometimes i feel brand new
but you know that i can feel the change
everyday's a beach day with you
everyday's a beach day with you
to lie in the sand
and, not understand,
but to share some kind of affection
for the highs
and the lows
and the way that life goes
in every single direction
as it started raining
you know
we just had to laugh
i spend my days straining
to answer questions
you never
will ask
CHORUS
you drifted out
further than i thought
would be advised
i felt the coldest surge
of doubt
as the water rose
over your eyes
to see you go down
like that
and never come
up for air
it's strange
how some feelings
always last
it's strange
how you're
never there
CHORUS
i remember it well
though i couldn't tell
you a single thing that happened
