Photographs 03:54
Photographs Your youth has run its race Creeping up slowly Your mothers face has changed Ain’t wearing those mini skirts anymore Drink the world it just won’t fill you up Holdin’ on to something and you can’t let go You’re hitting up the bottle right before the show She’s never mentioned word of it to another soul ‘Cept for somethin’ that she’s feelin’ like the Holy Ghost Photographs of younger days Will never make their way Into your grave Your father shaves his legs It’s from his football days Everyone’s doin’ it to be cool Doin’ it to be just like you Holdin’ on to something and you can’t let go So you’re hittin’ up the bottle right before the show She’s never mentioned word of it to another soul ‘Cept for somethin’ that she’s feelin’ like the Holy Ghost If you’re leaving in time for the mourning show I’ll believe you’re using faith from the depths of your soul I’ll believe you’re using faith from the depths below Photographs of younger days Will never make their way Into your grave

Baby, I 03:46
All of the things I thought I knew They went out the door when we gave birth to you Stay in the chair and thread the thread Leaving the pistol on the table ‘til the end Baby I baby I baby I Kill myself for you Baby I Baby I Bay I Kill myself for you And no matter how you shake it I don’t have the words to say I thought this melody would suit you Sometimes you’re too exhausting to pursue If I woulda known I’d make it worse Then I would go back and hang the lantern on this verse Didn’t your daddy raise you right? I’m polishing these adverbs while you hang me out to dry Baby I baby I baby I Kill myself for you Baby I Baby I Bay I Kill myself for you And no matter how you shake it I don’t have the words to say Yeah no matter how you shake it I don’t never have the perfect thing to say Baby I baby I baby I Kill myself for you Baby I Baby I Bay I Kill myself for you And no matter how you throw it no I’ll never have it perfect so Baby I baby I baby I Kill myself for you Baby I Baby I Bay I Kill myself for you Yeah no matter how you spin I’ll never have the word No matter how you phrase it’s gonna sound absurd No matter how you shake it I’ll have nothing left to say

Cars 03:39
I heard the sea Whispering our secrets back It said the truth Owes nothing to the facts You know if you cannot obey Then you cannot go My way my only foray You cannot go And you stood and looked me in the eye The day we toasted in July I’m always on time But on that day you had your hair pulled back Ready to meet the crowd And oh the way you threw your shoulders back Tryin’ to make ‘em proud The spots are sticking to your palm The locks are drippin’ with your charm Wake up Meet me at the back door I’ll be right on time Wanna have a conversation See nothing’s quite that easy Tired as you are I’ll be waiting ‘til the sun appears Wake up Meet me at the back door I’ll be right on time Don’t forget your alibi See nothing’s quite that easy Tired as you are I’ll be waiting ‘til the sun appears

Come to California, Flee the wasted east Resurrect my Princedom by the Sea School is overrated Your education bleak Can’t you see you’re better off with me? If you want dear, I will drive all night Just rest your head here Miles will wash it white Be my Greek Pretender My sweet Virginia Poe Weave these laurel branches from the road I’ll teach you ‘bout the Monarchs While you pull off their wings In all that ether they won’t feel a thing If you want dear, I will drive all night Just rest your head here Miles will wash it white If you want dear, I will make it right It’s kinda spooky Playin’ for keeps How ‘bout best two outta three? Don’t you know me? While I’m grippin’ the deck Like I’m scared half to death Cause it’s not this easy We’ve been running all year Yet, and still you don’t know what I want

Dawn 04:37
I want a perfect body I wanna be in control Let my nails grow long before biting them short I wanna be your princess Your klondike girl Promises from weekends are good until How did I believe you when you said Don’t worry now, don’t worry now How did I believe you when you said Don’t worry now We traveled in one suitcase The trips to San Jose I scratched it in my notebook And the gloves that you crocheted The smoke is in the curtains The carpet’s lost it’s curl Promises from weekends are good until But I wanted her deleted I wanted her gone All stitched up with kisses And sold out on the lawn How did I believe you when you said Don’t worry now, don’t worry now How did I believe you when you said Don’t worry now Dawn of the work week She’s Dawn from your work team Dawn, you’ll need mercy What’s done is done is done So you hid her in the backyard Inside you put your hand through the wall And you ring finger was easy to fix When you left me Dawn of the work week She’s Dawn from your work team Dawn, you’ll need mercy What’s done is done is done

Just say the word and I’ll be right over, honey I’ll meet you on top of the Garden Street rooftop When will all the distance be forgotten? Porcelain doves chime above the highway hum The metronome keeps our bodily rhythms in check Just say the word and I’ll be right over, honey I bought you a skirt from a Japanese novelty shop When will all the distance be forgotten? When?

Drafty Rooms 04:06
The morning hit our hearts with a pang Here we go again Frigid cold and empty skies We breath this but we don't know why Here we go again You pack your bags And find my note You're flying high I pull back home It's cold as hell Pacing through the night Cracking brittle fingertips Drafty rooms inside our homes Winter touching all the wounds Sunsets always go Foreheads pressed against the glass We're trapped and buried with the grass Smothered by the snow The last leaf falls And the frost sets in The sun gave up 'Cause she got so thin But I'm holding on… Cracking brittle fingertips Drafty rooms inside our homes Winter touching all the wounds We have time to make mistakes

Sleepy Time 02:49
Cannot you see the ending from the start? Didn’t you tear it broken fall apart? Fall on me Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here? Runnin’ around in white capes in the dark. Wooden and mostly chopped up on the floor Wooden and broken glass, our feet are sore And bloody as hell and Why don’t you take the wheel? Wouldn't you care to steer? Try not to drive those horses through my door.

Part through the rain And tell me where you’ve been Stir up the hearth And shutter out the wind I’ll just watch, watch you smiling there Absently wringing out your hair Bare me your shoulder Warm your cheek to mine Spread out your hair And tell me one more time I’ll just catch, catch these yellow strands Braid them all, with my shaking hands I’ll just wrap, wrap your throat around Pull it tight, don’t you make a sound We’ll sit all through the night Firelight, eyes still wide You'll stay here by my side Cheek still flush, flush to mine O my Porphyria! Did it hurt my little bird? We sat all through the night, And God ain't said And God ain't said a word Fiesta, My Love I cannot hear you now You’re somewhere under water And if I could my breath that long I’d dive into This is not the same We cannot be blamed for This is just what I’m saying This feels just like love This feels just like love This feels just like love to me No, I still cannot hear you, love Tell me, how long have you been calling? And if I get tripped up long enough I’ll fall into The summer left alone With memories of our song The highways creep up in the distance That’s our home This feels just like love This feels just like love This feels just like love to me

When summer is done The sun melts into autumn on the lawn But fall doesn't last too long And trees bear a wind That skins their backs as winter bullies in And winter goes on and on I feel like dying my hair a lighter color now 'Cause winter goes on and on If you come over now I'll make it worth your while Don't you wish that we could beat the weather Hide out on some island in December And stay all winter? If summer could stay Then we'd play croquet outside Each night 'til half-past nine While winter would pout on the sidelines We love the beach, we could go every week Just to see the sea and watch it move and breath While winter stays home and whines I feel like dying my t-shirts tie-dye colors now 'Cause winter goes on and on Everyone, everyone's dying from dihydroxyacetone 'Cause winter goes on and on If you come over now, girl I will start a fire Don't you wish that we could beat the weather Hide out on some island in December? Don't you wish that we could beat the weather? Don't you want to see me moving in the water? Don't you wish that we could beat the weather forever?

I lost my way on a trip meant for two We left our hearts in a suitcase, unused High above Chicago I’ll be home tomorrow Flight patterns fight ‘gainst the weight of our world I keep rehearsing these lines When we meet face to face Will it all fall away? First steps and first words while I was away Always believed that they’d get you to stay I was in Chicago You were gone tomorrow Flight patterns fight ‘gainst the weight of our world I keep rehearsing these lines When we meet face to face Will it all fall away?
