Hard 04:15
I threw a rock into the upper Ohio Standing in a shallow part I felt the summer pushing down on me White t shirt on a lonely heart It’s been five years now, you should know I’m not looking at anyone else But if I could stop time drop a line just to say I’m in love with you, I would I thought I lost you for a second there Somewhere that we’d never been I’m back now I get far sometimes and my cell phone calls bounce back now I’m not trying to ghost when I need you the most to bounce back now You like talking bout’ the future so much Unfurled and wet and shimmering A signal pointing us out West again A dream of where you want to be

Scenic Beach 03:50
She walked home in duress The fall of Rome came down with her dress A new horizon an identity possessed The aching want for what she left She packed up and just left How did it feel to be? After we stayed a week And we were skipping more than stones that season in a comfortable haze Your hair stood shining as it fell out of place It flickers by me when I’m low and in pain We’re lucky that we never did, rekindle it Inside a picture there’s a note to myself Forget the image the inscription still held If you walked by me I don’t you could tell But you’re inside by the lake and by that wine up on the shelf Well I don’t drink no more I left it on the shore And we were skipping more than stones that season in a comfortable haze Your hair stood shining as it fell out of place It flickers by me when I’m low and in pain We’re lucky that we never did, rekindle it We were the worst kind of love That was the worst time to love

On God 04:16
Eleven years ago you said “The beauty is inside you” From a hospital bed you took my hand Morning sun broke through A brother’s light that shines in my eyes I’m holding you still I’ll see you if there’s an afterlife Running through the daffodils I’m reaching for something to let go of But I can’t find you I know I should have been there for you but I thought It wasn’t your time to move on The next hours were all a haze I fought with our dad About where you’d spend your final days He chose above the liquor cabinet That’s where you lie today Out by the creek Filling up the hole you left Stepmother’s antiques So much of my brother was passed down to me I got it from him I learned everything The way I cut my hair The way I wear my jeans The way I play guitar The way I brush me teeth

She just wants to get high On whatever she can She don’t mind Living on the other hand You try and act like you don’t need no one You try and reason when the reasoning’s done All you want to hear is how these feeling are gone But they’re not gone, they’ve just been buried too long I almost wish that I never said You're so much like perfect I’m trying to protect you You're so much like perfect I’m trying to forget you His eyes are red and white Stoned looking for a chance A kid without a concept He asked you for a dance She saw his heart again and felt something Not belonging to a substance or dream All she wants to know is “goddamn, what does this mean?” their lips meet they’re back and blushing to the beat He told her softly I quit too soon Why did I ever let go of you? I guess the drugs they told me to I’ll never let go of you Even if they tell me to

Breaking In 04:08
They’re waiting for you on the other side of the earth And I’m stuck Consuming anything accessible I was on the take And hung up You found me face down on the upright that you played as a kid Blacked out Mumbling to the birds outside your parents house I was tore up Leaking like a spout I know I never said goodbye to you At least I don’t remember it Ten years of dying to say So long I left you In my dreams again One too many times

Facts 03:59
I found out My ear to the pavement The statement we made was all wrong It’s all wrong, the needle was off, the records are lost Erased in a house fire And my face burned up Believing late night stories beside a bed of lavender lies Feels like it’s just our time We’ve been lost a time or two But we needed the concern There’s no window to an out If perspective’s overturned And you spun me around again Like I spin you around again our chances drifted away we’ll be soaked if we waste it it’s so close I can taste it the hours and your dried dead flowers hang in vases unseen why did you come for me? a framed and faded memory of what you’d hoped I’d be it's all wrong, you’re all wrong, I don’t believe that it’s the end of it all

Day 1 03:51
I’m stuck here on the blind side From flashes of what could have been Your voice left me stumbling off On a beach out there in Bremerton Well I was there. Where were you? I went home for a couple days Saw what I expected to I sat parked in the driveway of A house I’m not connected to Your eyes opened so wide As I cried when I was begging you The salt spun The distance is gone The long run The silence lives There’s a shadow in my backspace I’m cleaning out my life again Old spark turned flame Only to extinguish it

Love Much 03:50
felt his world slip away he says “listen up if you wanna” He broke a window last time he was here just dying for attention I felt like jumping right out of my seat When he looked in my direction And I could tell that he was already beat and shaking like a leaf in the breeze He don’t love much I could tell from his eyes it was more than teeth that he missing His knuckles told me it had been a long night of asphalt kissing I looked away so ashamed I knew he needed my protection Born in the woods life was good now he’s ashamed of his reflection He don’t love much He's afraid of losing it all Jeremy’s already lost

Stuck Inside 04:19
In spring of 78’ Dreaming of escape Empire State I took a new last name to set him straight Enlisted in the service for a change I met a lovely gal it felt like a daydream Fast forward three years and we had babies We gotta live the lie now It didn’t last She craved the touch of someone less depressed The oldest died of poison in his chest The youngest son is all I have left He’s messed up he’s stuck inside a daydream Thank God that Nick hasn’t had babies He’s gotta straighten things out Don’t tell me I’m wrong There’s gotta be a lesson here Don’t tell me I’m wrong I’m not the listening type There’s gotta be a lesson here I left you on the other side
