gonna watch it all fade
here i am in her room trying to keep myself awake
there's a spoken for that never made this 15 hour date
here we are in my room to see how much i can drink
fool around and make no sound and leave before you miss your plane
(chorus)
giving up
moving on
it's the same thing
i would play her with a stone just to save face
giving up
moving on
in the same way
getting lost on all the roads one life could take
here i am in their room only knowing how to stay
laughing through those precious few moments designed to keep me safe
here i am with no room patching holes inside my brain
fool myself that when he's out i'm going to finally win the day
(chorus)
(bridge)
(chorus)
gonna watch it all fade

Are You Listening
02:53
|
|||
you stopped to tell me through the wine
no need to worry you were fine
stutter and slurring every line
you've taken years from off my life
no one's attacking you if you hadn't noticed
but i'd fire first if i thought it could save us
(chorus)
are you on the run or are you having fun
are you lying now or do you think you've won
are you listening?
is it not enough to rise with the sun
do you have to live and die for someone
are you listening?
i disappear weeks at a time
surface in backgrounds of your lives
i change the story as you like
and fall apart with each goodbye
all that reality on you're so focused
would you end it all if they had traded our beds?
(chorus)
do you lie for fun or are you set to run
are you still that young or just playing dumb
are you listening?
is it not enough to rise with the sun
do you have to live and die for someone
are you listening?
(bridge)
my words get scrambled in my mind
but they came out right that one time
came out to only find you hiding
could you leave the bourbon on the shelf
could you ever stop to see yourself
could you stop just once to see we're dying
(chorus)
are you on the run or are you having fun
are you lying now and do you think you've won
are you listening?
is it not enough to rise with the sun
do you have to live and die for someone
are you listening?

Were Those the Good Days
03:54
|
|||
open eyes
touch feet to floor
and wake my head up for one more
this battle that i call my friend
has summoned me to live again
there's nothing here that you would claim
you'd fix or end it in my place
i meant to save my life by 3
but drank and played our history
(chorus)
oh god
were those the good days?
wake up find a girl
and find a job that won't destroy my soul
and yes brother my collar's blue
no mother it just pays for food
there's always babies always maybes
when i call friends from the 80's
as the world it hits repeat
it slowly starts to dawn on me
(chorus)
oh god
were those the good days?
+
and all we have is now
but i see something else
oh god
were those the good days?
wake up find yourself a reason
to put both your feet upon the floor
you got no motivation
drugs and genes and situation
left you feeling so alone
just dying for a reason to leave home
my words don't get to you
the only thing that's coming through
(chorus)
oh god
were those the good days?
+
and all we have is now
but i need something else
oh god
were those the good days?

we'll talk it out
and maybe find out our mistakes
maybe someday will be warmer
ain't that what we used to say
but i know
there's something wrong in the middle now
we're getting lost round the middle now
don't want to wake up
in the last act of one more family film now
(chorus)
but now
we're still out on the floor
it's exactly what you
what we were both meant for
we still lost all control
the grass is greener
i've never been here before
let's talk it out
maybe liven up the stakes
sure that someday will be warmer
showing whatever it takes
still i know
they're standing bored all around us and
their hope it rains down upon us and
no nothing happens when the lights go out
the sun is down now
they're falling down all around us and
they built this town all around us and
don't want to be here when the cowards they crowd around us
(chorus)
i'm crying out
i'm still out on the floor
we're exactly what i've
what we've both been made for
we still lost all control
the grass is greener
i've never been here before
(instrumental bridge)
(chorus)
but now
we're still out on the floor
it's exactly what you
what we were both meant for
we still lost all control
the grass is greener
i've never been here before

Is This The End
03:31
|
|||
take your pulse
as if they ought to know
you killed yourself
just thought that that might help
they'll sell it
five seven six
paid to paint the room blue
and they're talking to me
but they wanna know you
(chorus)
i'm doin' all right
is this the end?
keep them close
the only way you'll know
and you braced for hell
by a canyon with a swell
i felt it
five seven six
all the eyes
on the sky
and it's 9:35
one more try
i'm alive now
(chorus)
(bridge)
don't make their sense
don't play their card
when they call your name
hide until you starve
cos i've seen your fire
i know what they'll spend
but no you still insist
on another scar
so i've now come back
to watching a falling star
well i've got it now
i know it best
tell me what
did we ever really fucking miss?
(chorus)

Today Is Your Birthday
04:14
|
|||
so it's not the way you want your birthday
so it's not the way you wanted everyone to lie down for you now
and i got a room if you wanna listen
it's not a choice
it's not a choice
my voice is clean
and out of noise
i never said one day you'll get what all you paid for
i never said what all we both had made would die
i'm learning some days we get older
and the strength that used to hold us up
is gone
and i guess you got some words for me
you should've let go yesterday
but the water felt just fine until today
and i guess you blamed the therapy
for giving me a voice to read
it's accusing you of never being right
and today
i watched it rain
and today
i kept you safe
well that was fine when you weren't older
or drinking wine until you're sober
but that's all right man
yeah that's all right
slept through a time it was amazing
when you'd just know what it meant to me
to see the sun go up and down today
forget about what my friends all make
you're a lover and fairweather friend
i wish i knew you more than that
but you're wrong
you're wrong
you're god damn wrong
and if there's just one day to save you
and if there's just one day i could save you
and if there's just one day left to save you
then live alone or find a home
in this pale world

PM Sun
03:23
|
|||
said she was always good and
she's down to play along
you wanted me to know
resolved to tag along
screamed we'd have so much fun
i wanted you to know
(chorus)
the pm sun
has got us on the run
sick for the 10 seconds or so
i swore you were the one oh
the pm sun
is showing all my faults
i'm yours until my brain takes over saying
our mindless days are better spent just saying
fuck it cut it and run
you set to play along
game to show you how you're wrong
you heard the words i wrote
you set to play along
shamed at the sight of me broke
we set off for the coast
(chorus)
+
i know
you're wrong
full of sad and lonely
it's drowned your mind
i know
you're down
and i can't relate no
but i'll die to try
(solo)

You Against The World
04:18
|
|||
stay by the wires
i wanna be there if you call
stand by your lies
i'm gonna be there when you fall
now you're talking maybes
like you're sure
i've never seen you act this way before
sell me out or make amends
i need you to make sense of it
(chorus)
when they take you
farther than ever before
and i'll save you
it's you against the world
up on the wall
ear to the paint i've seen it all
all for a fire
gave up a road that's paved in gold
now they want to make you for this war
i've never seen you quit like this before
cover up or breathe it in
i need you to not stand for it
(chorus)

The Evidence
04:51
|
|||
thanks so much for the great night
it's been years since i felt me float away
i use to burn these nights to escape
i'm sorry if it seems i've
gotten quiet i go so far away
just know this time next week
you're away
(chorus)
if you're the evidence
then i'm to blame
if you're the medicine
then i'm a waste
if you're the present tense
then i'm away
if you're the evidence
well so much for the great nights
was so sure i'd be having every day
you'd laugh at how i fought to escape
now we're back for a good time
getting caught up in how they won the day
just wish for one night it wouldn't rain
(chorus)
if you're the evidence
then i'm to blame
if you're the medicine
then i'm a waste
if you're the present tense
then i'm away
if you're the evidence
then i'm to blame
if you're the evidence
then i'm to blame
if you're the evidence
then i'm the blame

twoish in the morning
and the thought's just seaping through
it's not the fear of getting older
it's not doing it with you
but i'll bleed for you
while the lights are burning blue
yeah i'll bleed for you
and i'm wide awake for you
(chorus)
don't take your last breath
don't make it easy on yourself
i'll be your last friend
i'll be the tread when yours runs out
and i'll stick around
i'll stick around
and we'll stick around
we'll stick around
don't you ever want to stay
do you always need some nagging proof
if i feel i'm flying babe
it's only fair you feel it too
but i'll bleed for you
while the lights are burning blue
yeah i'll bleed for you
and i'm wide awake for you
(chorus)
(bridge)
it's like we've been driving
farther than we have ever known or been before
i wake up to start lying
knowing that nothing's quite as good as it was before
i took me for a ride
(chorus)
