Talking to Myself
04:32

Fly away on a big jet plane
I’ll be fine, I won’t go insane
Or feel the fear in my bones
That I can’t do it all on my own
And you could talk to me at night
Lay your head down by my side
Tangle me up in your strings
Add on to my list of things
But when I’m calling out your name
You’re standing still and out of frame
And when I’m asking for your help
I’m only talking to myself
Complications will ensue
A consequence of loving you
But measured out and understood
Ain’t a way I’d go, darling, if I could
So call me a fool, call me names
Call me out for all the ways
I come up short, that’s just the way
Love will go when love goes away
And you could talk to me at night
Lay your head down by my side
Tangle me up in your strings
Add on to my list of things
But when I’m calling out your name
You’re standing still and out of frame
And when I’m asking for your help
I’m only talking to myself
All my memories on the floor
Don’t matter much to me anymore
Faces blurred by time gone past
The ache of love I lost at last
The ache of love I lost
And you could talk to me at night
Lay your head down by my side
Tell me all the things you do
How all I have, I owe to you
But when I’m calling out your name
You’re standing still and out of frame
And when I’m asking for your help
I’m only talking to myself

Colours Bleed
05:40

You grew up straight, you grew up true
Now look what’s become of you
You’re all broke up, you got no glue to hold
On your toes your whole damn life
And balanced on the sharpest knife
With nothing left to bet before you fold
I’d climb eight hundred flights of stairs
If you could only meet me there
I’d give my life away to get yours back
I’d stare into your deepest void
And shine with all my colours, boy
And watch them bleed away into your black
But I’d never do to you all the things you always do to me
You ask if I can help you down
You float too far off of the ground
You always get so high when you run low
And it felt so good way back then
To think I could make you right again
But the curtain’s been long drawn on that whole show
I’d climb eight hundred flights of stairs
If you could only meet me there
I’d give my life away to get yours back
I’d stare into your deepest void
And shine with all my colours, boy
And watch them bleed away into your black
But I’d never do to you all the things you always do to me
I’d never lie straight to your face
Or make you watch me while I break
I’d never run you down and out of steam
I’d never let your favourite smile
Hunt you down across the miles
And let it slip its way into your dreams
But I’ll answer every time
Your memory comes knocking on my mind
I’d climb eight hundred flights of stairs
If you could only meet me there
I’d give my life away to get yours back
I’d stare into your deepest void
And shine with all my colours, boy
And watch them bleed away into your black
But I’d never do to you all the things you always do to me
No, I’d never do to you all the things you always do to me

Thankful
03:48
|

I’ve become quite thankful
Even as our time runs out
For every mile I’ve walked with you
And every mile I’ll walk without
You’re not scared to leave
You’re not certain what you’ll find
But I sure as shit am certain
You’ll be always on my mind
And always on the corner
Of the street I’m walking down
Always in the smoke
Rising from this factory town
And I’ll be always holding
To the years it stole away
Where we didn’t go
Every word we didn’t say
Who here knows the difference
Between a love and loss
Between just you and me
It’s what you give and what you got
High beams on the highway
Space in every room
Roses on the ground now
Cut upon their bloom
I’ve become quite thankful
For the things that come to pass
For the days all falling forward
For no flame was lit to last
Yes, I’ve become quite thankful
You might say that I have learned
Not to sacrifice a second
When they’re all so quick to turn

Tightrope
05:43
|
|||
I swear, I'm not trying to run away
From all the trouble that I made
I just need a little break every now and then
I know it isn't fair to leave like this
To leave you hanging on a kiss
That just won't come, no matter how I try
But when I am gone and gone to dirt
Will you hold on to every hurt
Every stain upon my shirt
And when they turn me over to the ground
If there's no one to make a sound
The roses scattered all around
Will you be there to lay me down
I've learned a tightrope has no room for two
Even with all we've been through
There's just no way we're gonna land on our feet this time
So go far, go east where the trade winds blew
Where the mystics all move through you
The push and pull will pull you past it in your own time
But when I look back on us that day
I see your smile start to fade
Something I never thought I'd say
So when I am gone and gone to dirt
Will you hold on to every hurt
Every whisper you ever heard
Will you remember what we were
