still 03:28
thought i saw you out the window out there reflected in the starglow but your silhouette just fades into the background of the rainflow thought i saw you in my bedroom up in the ceiling's spinning headroom but your outline turned to faded stucco white noise in the shadows but i still see dear, i still see these memories before i sleep so i'll still hold on i know there isn't anything to say now wake up and i'm never really ready for letdown retracing everything that i would change replace and let out but i still see dear, i still see these memories before i sleep so i'll still hold on i'll see you again before long

ours 02:41
i had late sleep the thought of autumn questions need relief springtime, late night i watched the sunlight crawl around the blinds we're both ours you taught me how to love again ruby red coast i watched the sunlight crawl across the water to our toes ruby red coast we watched the sunlight crawl

swamp 04:30
i'll show you luxury, champagne and cigarettes touching the tips of our tongues we love how the bubbles are filling our bellies and smoke's filling up our lungs but how did we get so far away from our home and what have we learned out in the swamp we just couldn't stop at all i'll show you empty whimsies and heavy hearts locked in the trunks of our cars in that way they're safe, we can waste days away without showing the shame of our scars where did we learn running is better than hurt? what have we learned out in the swamp we just couldn't stop at all so be it heart, bid me farewell without end what have we learned out in the swamp, we just couldn't stop at all

oh, heaven hold on i don't think we're ready yet oh heaven hold on he's got things that he regrets he sees our smiles and he knows our faces he just doesn't know our names he sees my smile and he knows my face, but he just doesn't know my name oh, heaven i hear you singing songs to me oh heaven hold on, i don't know the melody i see their smiles and i now their faces, i just don't know their names

morning 06:07
you told me you had alright in 2008 told me your father lost love and can only hate and when he went back to the bottle, everything remained the same you told me you had it alright in 2009 told me your sister lost taste for the sober life and when she went back to the cocaine and the pipe she got peace and quiet save it, save it, save it for the morning save it, save it, save it I'm in mourning you told me you had it all right in 2010 told me your brother was fighting but lost again and when he went back to the plunger and the pin it just begins you told me you had it for good in 2011 told me it'd been seven years since the drugs had won told me you'd be a better mother for your son save it, save it, save it for the morning save it, save it, save it I'm in mourning i won't be long for you, i won't be long for you so sing it alone

better 06:19
she said wake up now it's time to play maybe then it'll be easier to wait her silk smooth hand against my face there's that memory I always chase but i believe i'm getting better loving more my heart's unfettered i believe in turning over staying young while growing older she said have you not heard we never change? i said i don't want to live that way i thought i'd found love in the strangest place but it's the same old love i always erase but i believe i'm getting better loving more my heart's unfettered i believe in turning over staying young while growing older
