it breaks my heart that you're taken
some days i wish you were faking
that smile could last for miles...awhile
those green eyes could light up a room like marble tile
let's change the dial
i'm getting sick quick of this emptiness
i think i need to go home
it breaks my heart that you're taken
some days i wish you were faking
run away flaking
and that laugh could last for miles....awhile
those green eyes could light up a room like marble tile
oh let's change the dial
i'm getting sick quick of this emptiness
and i think i need to go home

Why Buy
01:56
|
|||
I might not always be there for you to call me up in the middle of the night to tell me about some guy or how you failed your family you say you always let mom and dad down but i still have faith.
I still have faith in you even though I can't stand some or all of your decisions the choices you make and I know I'm not the all saving grace that needed to take place but I'll sure give it one hell of a shot.
I'm bored of your game. I'm bored of your game.
Why buy the man when you get the love for free?
Why buy the man when you get the love for free?
Why buy the man when you get the love for free?
Why buy the man when you get the love for free?
I want it all....

From A Shoebox

how does it feel?
how do you even feel?
there is a shed of guilt
shit on everything they built
it's kind of what they expected
it's kind of what they thought
i guess there is a time and a place
where those things may not mean what they seem
it seemed to meant a lot more back when
oh yeah! smile, shrug and play it cool
i guess it's what they expected
it's kind of what they bought
it's kind of what they wanted
it's kind of what they got
smile, shrug and play it cool
how does it feel?
a pit of despair
there is a shed of guilt and it cuts
and it will heal but i'm sure it will scar
it's kind of what they expected
it's kind of what they thought
it's kind of what they wanted
it's kind of what they got
smile, shrug and play it cool
how does it feel?
how does it feel?
how does it feel?
how does it feel?

I Left You
03:07
|
|||
I left you at the 7/11 and I had somewhere better to be
or so I thought at the time
imagine if I would have stayed with you
you were crying
i was cold and i had somewhere better to be
and I ended up staying up all night
with a love that doesn't want to be
I left you at the 7/11 and I had someone I had to see
or so I thought at the time
imagine if I would have stayed with you
you were lying
it was getting old and I always have somewhere to be
and I ended up staying up all night
with a love that doesn't want to be
I left you at the 7/11 and I had somewhere better to be
I left you at the 7/11 and I had someone I had to see
or so I thought at the time
imagine if I would have stayed
you were lying
it was getting old and I always somewhere to be
and I always have somewhere to be
I ended up staying up all night with a love that doesn't want to be
and I left you at the 7/11 and I had somewhere better to be

the waiting is the hardest part
sometimes i get so anxious at the slightest things
i know there is nothing we can do to fix you
we all float down here
we all float
when you're down here. here with me.
yeah we'll all float. yeah we'll all float too
when you're down here here with me
we're through and through
i'm through and through with you
we all float down here
we all float
when you're down here. here with me.
yeah we'll all float. yeah we'll all float too.
when you're down here. here with me
we'll all float. we'll all float too
we are through and through with you.

A Song For Or About You
02:01
|
|||
i'm compulsive
i'm addicted
i'm compulsively addicted to you
isn't that what you wanted
for me to write song about you or is it for you
i can't even make up my mind
but i'm glad you can make up yours
its quite clear that i should forget about you
its quite clear i'd be missing you
it'd be quite clear i'd be missing you
i'm compulsive
i'm addicted
i'm compulsive addicted to you
isn't this what you always wanted
what you always needed....
it'd be quite clear i'd be missing you
and it'd be quite clear i'd be missing you
i'd be missing you

i'll see you

All About Owls
01:54
|
|||
it's like an eastern glow in the northern sky
your eyes light up like the fourth of July
and i think i'm the only one that understands me
and i wish
i wish you'd just talk to me
and walk me through
i wish you'd just talk to me
and walk me through
and it's like i never existed at all
and it's like i never mattered at all
and i wish
i wish you'd just talk to me
and walk me through
i wish you'd just talk to me
and walk me through
i wish you'd acknowledge me
and talk me through

Laundry Day
02:40
|

she awaits for the words as i wait at the crosswalk wearing yesterday's pants. no mustard stains don't worry i checked. the flashing lights tells me its alright to cross. i look both ways.
i look both ways as i cross. i look both ways as i cross.
one day you'll come back. come back one day.
one day you'll come back.
and she prays to the cross and i pray that she'll come back one day.
i look both ways as i cross. i look both ways as i cross.
she prays to the cross. i pray that she'll come back
come back to me. one day you'll come back.
one day you'll come back.
come back one day.
come back one day.
come back one day.

The Worst Zoo
02:20
|
|||
it feels as there has been a great weight lifted off my soul
i've had a lot of time to assume the worst
it feels so liberating. it's kind of like freeing monkeys from a zoo
and yeah... the kangaroos...they can come too
but the lions stay they are liars
and the leopards will eat your face off
the lions stay they are liars
and i've had a lot of time to assume the worst
i've had a lot of time to assume the worst
but the lions stay they are liars
and the leopards will eat your face
the lions stay they are liars
and the leopards will eat your face
i've had a lot of time to assume the worst

Crowds
03:36
|
|||
Back on the bus I find a window seat
and I pray that no one sits beside me
the big wheels turning, the motor roaring, the lights dim
back of the bus you can find me drinking
from a bottle of rye in a passenger bathroom
and I pray that no one finds me
Back at the Greyhound station I make a beeline for the washroom
stand in the stall to roll a joint
and I pray that no one finds me
I take a walk around the block and think that
I should start talking to myself to prove that
I'm crazier than everyone else
and I can't face all the faces
all the people I meet are creeps
I know its my job but I feel odd
I feel off
Here at the venue I play songs for you
and I pray that someone gets what I do
the girls with the green eyes has a pretty smile
too bad I will never know her name.
I'm too nervous and weird with everything to prove
you'd like me more if I had the guts
and I could sell a million albums if I had the guts
but I don't and thats what I'm just me
I wonder if anyone is as lonely as me.
I pray that someone finds me
I can't face all the faces
all the people I meet are creeps
I know its my job but I feel odd
I can't face all the faces
all the people I meet are crowds
I know its my job but I feel off
I feel odd
Back on the bus I find a window seat
and I pray that no one sits beside me
the big wheels turning, motor roaring, the lights dim
and I shut my eyes

Cultus
02:20
|

I heard your name through the cemetery trees
the leaves telling me to leave
I don't want you to go. I want you to stay
I don't want to go home.
I don't want you to go. I want you to stay
I'm trying to build a home
I have done this a million times before
it oddly feels the same
I don't want you to go. I want you to stay
I don't want to go home.
I don't want you to go. I want you to stay
I'm trying to build a home
every time i close my eyes you look away
I don't want you to go. I want you to stay
i don't want to go home
i don't want you to go. i want you to stay

Let It Be

I love the smell of your hair
I'm over here
you're such a wonderful person
as far I can see
let it be
you're such a wonderful person
as far I can see
let it be
I love the smell of your hair
I'm over here
Your bobby pins on the floor
and in your hair
I'm over here
I'm over here

maybe I had a bad day?
yeah that's what I think
it's kind of funny in a funny kind of way
welcome to everyday
welcome to the rest of your life
you can kill them off. you can kill them off.
welcome to the rest of your life
they come back to haunt you
they come back in threes
one day you'll know what I mean
welcome to everyday
welcome to the rest of your life
you can kill them off. you can kill them off.
welcome to the rest of your life
