Match To Spark
02:33

|
Honesty revealed behind the steering wheel
and all of these emotions of mine that I don't want to feel
the light of the car showing only a few feet ahead
oh another lost highway to another dead end
I don't smoke as much as I think I do
only smoking when I'm smoking with you
so baby let's go for a little ride
feel the rumble of the road
and we'll both know we're alive
But don't stare too long at the sun she says
or else you'll go blind and you'll never see again
and we can all use a little light when we're trapped in the dark
oh it's a struggle sometimes just to get that match to spark
Baby I know this life is killing you
You've seen what it's done to me honey, you know it's killing me too
so won't you just stare into my eyes
and watch the sun reflect you as it starts to rise
But don't stare too long at the sun she says
or else you'll go blind and you'll never see again
and we can all use a little light when we're trapped in the dark
oh it's a struggle sometimes just to get that match to spark

I'm Not Your Someone
04:07

I’m not a stranger to the spotlight
I put it on me most of the time
But it’s risky business baby
To go it alone
We don’t have to say goodbye
If you want to give us another try
I would offer you a smile
But would either of us believe me
You could send me a postcard
If you want to stay in touch
I’m collecting cobwebs
In all this dust
A year from now where will we be
Probably up the block or down the street
I’m too close to my sickness
To be noticing symptoms
I’m not your someone
I’m not your somebody
I’m not your someone
I’m not your somebody
But if you can hear me call my name
And if you see me first do the same
If you can hear me call my name
And if you see me first do the same
I don’t really know what you want me to say
That it’s my fault anyway
We’re all gonna get
What’s coming to us
I’m so sick of chasing ghosts
Following them wherever they go
Digging up the bones of memories
I’d rather forget
I’m not your someone
I’m not your somebody
I’m not your someone
I’m not your somebody
But if you can hear me call my name
And if you see me first do the same
If you can hear me call my name
And if you see me first do the same
I’m not your someone
I’m not your somebody
I’m not your someone
I’m not your someone

Along The Shoreline
02:51
|

|
Swaying through the summer sun, rests the tired breeze
Low hangs the waning tide, as the night comes with ease
Crisp and lonely, I feel your lovely eyes
Conspiring against me, 'neith the star-lit sky
You say forever, but you mean tonight
Hand in hand we walk, along the shoreline
Playing together, like two birds in flight
Touch each other craving more, and that's all right
You grab me by the hand, take me to the cool water
And we dance with, the swimming tide
Your cold wet hair, silhouetted by the moon
Your sun dress drifts away, leaving you behind
You say forever, but you mean tonight
Hand in hand we walk, along the shoreline
Playing together, like two birds in flight
Touch each other craving more, and that's all right
You say forever, but you mean tonight
Hand in hand we walk, along the shoreline
Playing together, like two birds in flight
Touch each other craving more, and that's all right
Touch each other craving more, and that's all right
Touch each other craving more, and that's all right
Touch each other craving more, and that's all right

Where Did The Day Go
02:35
|

Where did the day go?
Are you still set in your ways?
Breathing in real slow
Is that enough to numb the pain?
Ain’t it the same though?
I can see you wasting away
We’re gone for sure love,
Though we never could stay.
A cannon blast
From the past
And another from tomorrow
Losing sight
Of our dying light
And bathing in our sorrows
I promised I would listen
If you wanted me to hear
But I guess you found your sunshine
And left me behind, drowning in my tears
Enough with your ego
Just tell me what you want to say
Same goes for me though
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Your silence speaks volumes
But I can’t understand
Was I just a replacement
Did you ever give a damn?
A cannon blast
From the past
And another from tomorrow
Losing sight
Of our dying light
And bathing in our sorrows
I promised I would listen
If you wanted me to hear
But I guess you found your sunshine
And left me behind, drowning in my tears

Sweet Nothings
03:22

I’ve got something to discuss with you
My mind’s made up, let’s hope I follow through
Oh maybe baby you can tell me something I wanna hear
And I promise, promise that I’ll listen to you
There ain’t nothing but shit lying down this road
But we’ll go there baby, if you wanna go
Sweet nothings sound so good in my ear
They’re the only thing I wanna hear
Oh sweet nothings sound so good in my ear
Well if you wanna spit in my face, that’s alright by me
Honey with you by my side, there’s nothing that I need to see
Oh you know there ain’t no place I’d rather be
So baby, baby won’t whisper to me
There ain’t nothing but but shit lying down this road
But we’ll go there baby, if you wanna go
Sweet nothings sound so good in my ear
They’re the only thing I wanna hear
Sweet nothings sound so good in my ear
There ain’t nothing but but shit lying down this road
But we’ll go there baby, if you wanna go
Sweet nothings sound so good in my ear
They’re the only thing I need hear
Sweet nothings sound so good in my ear

7 Hours
03:02
|

A silhouette of your shadow
Asks me for the time
I just quiver and offer you
My last dime
Seven hours of my day
Seven hours and it’s always the same way
I don’t think I’m cut out for all this
Oh and I guess your guess is just as good as mine
I feel my heart still beating in my chest
And I guess the rest is just a waste of your precious time
I can taste the salt as I lick my wounds
But they ain’t healing so what’s the use?
Is that you I hear calling my name?
No, it’s just a memory.
Seven hours of my day
Seven hours and it’s always the same way
I don’t think I’m cut out for all this
Oh and I guess your guess is just as good as mine
I feel my heart still beating in my chest
And I guess the rest is just a waste of your precious time
