Hey what's this all about
It's like you're taking my words, turn em inside out
There's not much use getting through to you
When you think you're never wrong
Hey what's this all about
It's like you're taking my words, turn em inside out
There's not much use getting through to you
When you think you're always right
It's that much easier to roll over, turn out the light
If I tell you "you were right"
It's that much easier to roll over, turn out the light
If I tell you "you were right"
It's that much easier to roll over, turn out the light
But hey, we can work it out
And if you meet me halfway you can have no doubt
I'll always be here beside you
Through the good and bad I'm yours
Holdin' hands beside you
Nobody understands the way you make me feel
I just need to hear we're right
I'll never be the one to roll over, turn out the light
If you tell me we're alright
I'll never be the one to roll over, turn out the light
If you tell me we're alright
I'll never be the one to roll over, turn out the light
With you, I'll never be the one to roll over turn out the light.

Was packing up my suit and tie
Had tickets on the next redeye
To an unfamiliar place but
If only for a moment
Caught my face in the reflection and I thought
What about those bills you pay
You can only get so far away
From a dedicated rent collector
If only for a moment, hung my head and reconsidered
That in time, I may say goodbye
But for tonight, well I guess I'll miss that flight
Was writing all my fond farewells
To ones I used to kiss and tell
On postcards from the corner store when
If only for a moment had a thoughtful observation that the
Other side of the lines been cut
So who am I to interrupt
What new boyfriends won't appreciate and
If only for a moment caught some karmic retribution
So in time, I may say goodbye
But for tonight, we'll I guess I'll skip that fight
Was lying in my bed that night, I was
Dreaming about that redeye flight to an unfamiliar place but
If only for a moment had a stubborn realization
That even if I play that part
There's no new starts for broken hearts
On the back nine side of twenty eight
If only for a moment
Caught my face in the reflection

The Smoke After The Kill
04:12
|
|||
I'm burning the midnight oil
Trying to find some peace of mind again
But I caught a taste far too young
A taste for what I can't describe, caught on my tongue
So tell me how you feel
Like getting caught first time you steal
Like getting tight behind the wheel
But you can only sit so still
When old habits are hard to heal
It's the temptation that you feel
It's just the smoke after the kill
Just the smoke after the kill
And now my days are spent disputing parking tickets
With the law
Doing yoga in the morning, count the hours on the wall
But when Colombian means coffee, then your
Thrills are in your head
Unless you choose to throw the dice again
So tell me how you feel
Like getting caught first time you steal
Like getting tight behind the wheel
But you can only sit so still
When old habits are hard to heel
It's the temptation that you feel
It's just the smoke after the kill
Just the smoke after the kill

When you call my name
I get a momentary stop of my heart
And nothing feels the same
I've been waiting for this feeling
For too long now that's for sure
But I would wait a lifetime more
Just to prove I could
Cuz it's all the same til I'm alone with you
When I fall in love its always
Head over my heels
Ain't too proud to beg
Ain't too low to steal
I do what I can to make you feel what I feel
Cuz it's all the same til I'm alone with you
Til I'm alone with you

Worst Way Possible
04:22

Early morning, raise my head
Sunlight warms an empty bed and motions me
To clear the corners of my eyes
Move to the kitchen where we spent eternity
Pouring coffee into mason jars
Turnin' over records, slide in socks across the hardwood floor
The kettle whistle pulls me from the dream
So I close my eyes
And try to picture moving out again
Burn my day with play pretend situations
A west coast flat on the second floor
Plants in the window locking in my expectations
Of pouring coffee into mason jars
Turnin' over records, slide in socks across the hardwood floor
Your smile missing pulls me from the dream
So I close my eyes
You've got me wrapped around your finger
In the worst way possible

Only One For Me
04:03

I've gotta go
I've overstayed my welcome
Time that I hit the road
Before too long I'm itchin' for some
Time on my own, nobody ever runs my speed
But don't feel bad, it's nothin' personal
Like missing a fad, I'm always anxious until
I'm on my own, not everyone can run my speed
But I, I've got a lot to figure out
Cuz I, I never learned to shut my mouth
And I, I never figured people out
And so I, I see that
I may be the only one for me
So I better split
Before I make a fool of myself
Pushin' a bit, I always gotta be the one
To take things too far
Never learned how to read a room
But don't feel bad, it's nothin' personal
Like missing a fad, I'm always anxious until
I'm on my own, nobody ever runs my speed
But I, I've got a lot to figure out
Cuz I, I never learned to shut my mouth
And I, I never figured people out
And so I, I see that
I may be the only one for me

Halfway Out The Door
04:13
|

Why does it feel like everything's out of reach
But when I get it in my hands it might as well've been the
Flavor of the week
It's easy come and easy go to you
It's never what you think that you want, that's true
Anyway, you're probably wondering
What the hell I'm waiting for
But by the time I realize it, baby
You're already halfway out the door
If easy come and easy go
That's why I'm always lost
Cuz I'm sittin' round and wondering baby
If love is worth the cost
Yeah if love is worth the cost
There's only one thing that matters
And it's what I'm waiting for
Cuz if it's easy come then easy go
That's why I'm always lost
I'm always lost

Pull back the curtain and sigh
Roll out a hotel bed
Now you're back in your car
You were here, now you're gone
Not another train to catch
A plane to chicago
Got a couple shifts to cover
Late night before the tour
Still you throw me one more
Goodbye that I could borrow
I can't complain
Still I do
If I'm here today
Without you tomorrow
Until the next planned vacation
My situation stays the same
Never been a stranger to the destitution panic
I stretch a buck a month and a half
Gotta see a man about a shift that might have opened
Gotta file a form before the tax evasion catches up too
Gotta pay the ledger, keep my head above the water
Til I'm back in your arms
Where I'm here today
Without you tomorrow
Still I
Gotta see a man about a shift that might have opened
Gotta file a form before the tax evasion catches up too
Got another train to catch
A plane to chicago
Then I'm back in your arms
Where I'm here today
Without you tomorrow

Waiting For You

Tell me what you're waiting for boy
You're running out of time
You gotta make up your mind
Cuz it's all we can do
Waiting for you
So tell me what you're waiting for boy
You really gotta make a go
Cuz it'll be over now before you know
That it's all we can do
Waiting for you
But I'm just tryin' to make it through the night
Yeah I'm just tryin' to make it through the night
I'm just tryin' to make it through the night yeah
Woo-ooh hoo
So tell me what you're waiting for boy
You really gotta make a go
Cuz it'll be over now before you know
That it's all we can do
Waiting for you

No Exit
04:16

Heat coming in off the city streets
The light pouring in from the train
The hum of the rotating ceiling fan
Only broken by the sound of the rain
But you got what you wanted
And all it cost you was your peace of mind
From betting smokes with insecurity
While shootin' dice with your alibi
So tell me do I really need
Somebody to hold at night
Or could it possibly be
I was wrong I was wrong I was wrong
And baby you were right
