Make my plans Watch them fail Try again Must prevail One by one They return Make my bed Now I burn Couldn't have sent anybody any better Couldn't have said anything to you Couldn't have sent anybody any better I know I said I knew, I knew Couldn't have said anything to you

Finally, one less thing to bother me Check and see for signs of life Tennessee, well you're nothing but a memory But I know, never say goodbye Crooked teeth, well that's all that stands in front of me When I see the mirror shine If you'll please excuse the haste in getting here Because I know wouldn't get another try There's a fall And a rise And you know how to get by And we go About our lives Like one long day and night Actually, I never thought we'd get to this point Entropy, gravity, and all the rest And you see when it's gone it's gone for good So let's not go, let's not go, let's not go Just let it go for this one time There's a fall And a rise And you know how to get by And we go About our lives Like one long day and night Like one long day and night Like no one else alive Like one long day and night

That grass is getting brown beneath your feet It always seemed so green this side of the street Just got to have it or you feel incomplete The other side of the street the restless don't sleep All I needed was to have a little fun Show you I'm not made of stone And there are failings that you could learn to love And all you needed was to have a little fun Go out amongst those bramble briars Get your dress snagged, but you would come on home I'm so sick of trying to leave Can't you see it's pointless to be So persistent So resistant If the truth is such a hard thing to hold Why are you endlessly pleading for me to convince you So you can just breathe it in

Sinking Fast 02:02
I'm sinking fast, I'm sinking deep I don't know why I can't get on my feet I hold my breath Heaven hold me I don't know why I can't get on my feet

It's amazing how much changes And how much stays the same Watch the waves wash away sandy shores But how much still remains I know that there's something there but there's something missed I thought that I saw it all but I only caught a glimpse That's the problem with a light like this It sells your eyes the smooth, false images It's amazing how much changes And how much stays the same Watch the waves wash away sandy shores But how much still remains I never want to be the one who's so convinced That I've got an answer wrapped up in bows and pretty prints Packaged neatly by the scientists Because you don't know what you don't know And the unknown keeps being unknown It's amazing how much changes And how much stays the same Watch the waves wash away sandy shores But how much still remains

Wanted More 03:20
I'm not sure if you'll remember But I'd like to forget Our memories are faulty They're chemicals at best I wanted more I wanted to be so much more I'm sure we will embellish The finer points and details Mull over, mull over The mental souvenirs I wanted more I wanted to be so much more I'd like to forget I wanted more I wanted to be so much more You deserve more I wanted to be so much more

Can't you just admit that you were Can't we just have one moment of Can't you just admit that you were If I never said anything you could never take it the wrong way Can't we just have one moment of If I never take anything there's never a chance I won't pay I won't pay There's a hole, an imperfection where the smoke creeps in It chokes my lungs because it fills the spaces where the air had been If we were to speak with honesty I can't breathe, I can't see Can't you just admit that you were If I never said anything you could never take it the wrong way Can't we just have one moment of If I never take anything there's never a chance I won't pay I won't pay There you are and here I am in a doorway stance Arms are crossed, eyes are locking in a threshold dance If we were to speak with honesty I can't breathe, I can't see Slipping the string of the kite out Defying the gravity Watching the world from the lighthouse Get swallowed by the sea Can't you just admit that you were Can't we just have one moment of

The unknown magical purpose of what brings us here to love I'm still trying to understand the higher laws, the master plan All I know is that I found you, this is the truest of the truths Okay not to comprehend in how we arrived, the means, the ends There's something I can't put my finger on Your eyes are as bright as the morning sun They shine like the gold on the horizon Away There is a wonder inside of me I am a child that is still learning that the energy that you give is reflected back and it pulls you in You are standing there bathed in light, a piece of the grand design, a piece of the master plan And how we got to this place and now we're hand in hand There's something I can't put my finger on Your eyes are as bright as the morning sun They shine like the gold on the horizon Away

Little one the pieces fall all around your head When you jump out of the water into bed We'll all fall to pieces when you make your effort there Comfort comes in quickly and the thoughts all lose their sted When you jump out of the water into bed Congratulations you made it Congratulations you made it When you jump out of the water into bed

Awkward 03:50
It's a slow drift but the current here is solid and it will drag you in Well you can start to feel you have lost control of your body It's involuntary I try and I try to get out of my head but I'm sinking in deeper I'm falling in It's a long way when you set your sight on horizon but your feet are concrete Disappearing Dear me, I wish I was just disappearing I try and I try to get out of my head but I'm sinking in deeper I'm falling in Stand five feet back from myself and I'm looking in horror As I'm saying something that I know isn't appropriate And I blame it on my awkward human nature Try and I try to get out of my head but I'm sinking in deeper
11.
I've got this terrifying feeling in my head It's made a home and found its way into my bed Permeating all we've done and said A shade of green, a tinge of red We got what we came here for I am not believing it anymore But was it what we deserved There is no concentration, it's a useless mess The whole entire situation is a wreck And I've got no one to blame except myself A shade of green, a tinge of red We got what we came here for I am not believing it anymore But was it what we deserved Go on believe whatever it is you will believe That's where the circumstances take you with their lead Fell in a hole the echo keeps playing on repeat All been a wash in a shade of green We got what we came here for I am not believing it anymore But was it what we deserved

So Long Dear 02:27
So long dear, so long So long dear, I'm going The day's getting wasted so I'm moving on In summer we were lovers from the seeds planted spring But when the leaves change their color you said you'd see differently So long dear, so long So long dear, I'm going The day's getting wasted so I'm moving on The winter, oh the winter, with its cold and its snow Makes that summer feel much further than it ought to you know So long dear, so long So long dear, I'm going The day's getting wasted so I'm moving on
