broken down in town while it's getting cold at least we have our hands and our bellies full of lust we can pop the cork on the chardonnay pretend we need the heat as we lose the day and touch laughing at the words we could never say passing up the people who never crave our trust racing over hills while the tide came in they yelled that the 10-speeds were made too big for us i never wanted to be this way living off of shades of grey of course we are the songs that are brilliant lost and breaking bones but resilient to love putting on the same clothes from yesterday i washed them last week, but they still won't quite zip up living in the sand with our heads tucked in never more happy to not know where we've been it's hard to tell now, but i think the only time that God keeps is our time in loneliness i never wanted to be insane but i don't have much choice today i'll break my back if you break yours my yellow breast unties the cords relationships that we've outgrown to climb a cliff we've never known it's such a silly thing to see you walking with your back to me i never left, i never tried to beg you like to bat your eye

Lady 02:40
the worry on your face says you led me on i'm sorry for the pace, but i'm too far gone oh lady, you're not for me they'll recognize your face all around the town you're pretty, but our age is a broken sound oh lady, you're not for me this could never be, but it sure felt good i'll always keep you close, 'cause i said i would oh lady, you're not for me we have time to say "we were too alone" so then what does it mean when we both grow old? circumstances change and yeah, so do hearts when people stay the same that's when i get bored oh lady, you're not for me if we were ever meant for a bigger plan don't you think that God would have moved our hands? oh lady, you're not for me "maybe" never paid bills or built a home but maybe we were a fire in the freezing cold we have time to say "we were too alone" but maybe we were a fire in the freezing cold

Reasons 05:06
i play your face like a Psalm in my mind God, i love how you dance and you twirl and laugh loud pretty girl in her prime i've seen the same look before but this time i can't sort it at all and you tell me you're fine, and i know you're not fine but I don't dare talk but enough about me let's talk about you and the reason i can't hold your hand without shaking inside like i do enough about me all of the tamed lust that pours from your eyes we just stopped making sense and the time that we spent making jokes to disguise a personal thing and i know what you mean when you're talking like that you say you're alone and in love and you just want to be where i'm at but enough about me let's talk about you and the reason i fell for your charm so swift and so warm and i knew i can't make you see how i picture the scene when i play you a song i keep hoping to learn what you feel and in turn maybe we'd get along but enough about me but enough about me let's talk about you and the reason you withdrew your love like a $20 bill for new shoes enough about me 'cause the water can't clean all the sins in my heart i stopped living for life now i'm dying to die just to make a new point enough about me

Spectrum 05:07
it's not my fault; it's my head it's been staying up late and thinking while i slept but it's a long walk home from your bed i got some sense and two good feet under my legs it's late enough, but no one's knocking off you're sweaty, and your face looks pretty lost so i grab hold and lean into your smile i haven't felt a woman in a while there we go i'm in too deep or so i read i saw the sparks in your mouth and the lights go on in your head i don't want to know what your mom said just leave, just leave, just leave just leave and be done with it i did enough waiting for us both i shook it out like a good boy through all the cold i can count my friends on one hand and two thumbs i wonder what kind of man Riley will become there y'all go to the best damn night of sex i ever had just me and you so sore we couldn't stand you had me girl, like Scarlett had Rhett we burned it down and watched the fire dance we were a flood on desert sand

Echoes 03:59
all that i want is a little bit of love and i don't feel right cause it's you that i'm thinking of no, i don't feel right we were echoes walking tightropes along shakey knees you think, i know i sink, you grow and float flawlessly all that i want is to feel like i belong i spent a long time depressed sleeping in at home and i don't feel right sometimes i think would you shake me if i didn't move? it's the last time we'll speak and you won't answer me 'cause life is untitled and cruel
7.
don't know how i envisioned it then still i keep asking what words Riley meant another word tore me apart when you saw the pictures i thought of as art right? but life goes and goes and goes until you can't make out ashes from snow until you try coming the same way you go until you keep fire in your eyes until you've perfected surprise that's why it looks easy for me the last time i took something seriously it's probably the same way for you pouring through pictures and missing our youth right? but time runs and runs and runs until you forget how we ever got along until you can't listen without hating my songs until there's no fire in your eyes until you stop being surprised tonight on the way home i stopped across from the street where i thought you still walked not sure if i wanted to see or just wanted someone who's as lonely as me the first time i felt your bare skin freckled and whiter than angels have been we wasted five days sleeping in and tangled up more than my laces and grin we promised forever and that's what we meant we had it. we wanted it; every piece and part of it we had it. we had it. we had it but love slows and slows and slows til i don't touch more than your clothes until you don't wonder when i'm coming home until we forget the feel
8.
do you recall staying up late stoking the fire? our son's blue/red eyes calling our names; i knelt to his side we watched him grow; a curious boy confused by this world he asked me real slow, "what makes a man fall in love with a girl?" everything the back of her hands, the whites of her eyes when she takes a stand, refuses to cry the curl of her toes, wrinkles of her nose the last time she said "i love you" to me everything nothing else at all can keep you so down or up all night long you said something's wrong, but i don't reply; pretend i'm alone awake on my side, you played with your yarn, taking out the burls you read my mind; you said, "what makes a man stop loving a girl?" anything the passing of time, a two-faced white lie the shadow of doubt on a lighted sign a slip of the tongue, a heart in your lungs a daydream of anything that isn't her anything
9.
cursing out loud at Eve and Adam the same things we shout to seem like giants among men insane liars we are we say "go die" and just go although stranger than love it's somehow stronger since the same hate flows in your heart i've come to agree i need the silence so i'll go

Moment 09:59
(oooh) we had a long talk and i had a plan but i got distracted by the spectrum on your hand your glass looked empty so i poured you more and the color filled your cheeks like it used to years before but it's only for a moment and it's what you wanted too so i lay me down with you (oooh) i confess nothing and you'll do the same we both made mistakes babe and that's why i'm calling today man, i was a burden and you were my kite but we were a spectrum and our son was the light but it's only for a moment and it's only for our youth so i let you know the truth (oooh) the people who raised me i hurt with each word that i write get close, but don't chase me open up, but don't let me inside i heard about your confidant i smiled without losing my bluff it's not that i was young it's that i never loved you enough (oooh) but i can't get you back darling and i can't keep stalling time so i let you off the line
