1.So Easy
There you sit with the TV on
It could be work but it looks like fun
You must be happy that I came home now
Now you've been practicing your furrowed brow
Everybody gets along with everyone
It's so easy
Everybody gets along with everyone
The debonair in the way you dress
Is taken absolutely from the best
Brando and Monty had some kind of style
And you've been working on your west coast smile
Everybody gets along with everyone
It's so easy
Everybody gets along with everyone
Now you're out there in the big spotlight
But was there something you forgot to hide?
Stranded naked in the cruelest wind
Armed with nothing but your boyish grin
Everybody gets along with everyone
It's so easy
Everybody gets along with everyone
It's so easy
2.Thanks A Lot
Lyricist:Teddy Thompson
Thanks a lot for the invitation
But I believe I'm already taken
I'll maybe catch you somewhere
Along the way
I can't believe the words I'm reading
Hotel lobby is suddenly freezing
God, you think you'd have
Something nice to say
But you think
You're such a big man picking on me
Well, you'll never get another chance
You should make plans to get away
Before an accident comes your way
Don't be thinking you'll get off easy
Letter bombs are user friendly
Making up for a troubled childhood
You know there's people
You could see, you could talk to
You shouldn't be on the street
For one more day
I'm lying here in the next hotel room
I feel like I've been hit by a sonic boom
God, you think you'd have
Something nice to say
But you think
You're such a big man, picking on me
Well, you'll never get another chance
You should make a plan to get away
Don't be thinking you'll get off easy
I.R.A. is doing freebies
Maybe you could just say you're sorry
Full retraction, bended knee
Maybe you could
Just save your firstborn for me
But you think
You're such a big man, picking on me
Well, you'll never get another chance
You should make a plan to get away
Don't be thinking you'll get off easy
Wife and kids are just gonna love me
3.Love Her For That
Lyricist:Teddy Thompson
She's a feeler and I love her for that
No matter how long, I will always come back
There's a bond that we share, it will always be there
She may be holding but I love her for that
There are reasons that I'm out here so far
Blows are weaker from an ocean apart
And I guess, I could run from my place in the sun
She wouldn't let me and I love her for that
And, oh, you steal her
You love her and deceive her
She did nothing so wrong, so wrong
Voice of angels ended quick by his knife
Bonds are broken between a man and his wife
And the songs that are left to remind of the theft
She'll let you sing them and I love her for that
4.A Step Behind
Lyricist:Adam Teddy Thompson
It's not so much that you left
It's that you didn't come back
It's not the pain that you left
But the obvious lack
I was always a step behind
I was always a step behind
It wasn't watching you go
But the way that you went
With a kiss on the cheek
And a check for the rent
I was always a step behind
I was always a step behind
It wasn't really your fault
'Cause you made it mine too
While you were looking around
I was looking at you
I was always a step behind
I was always a step behind
And I hope you remember
When it comes around
The gentle of release
Of letting me down
And the way that it felt
To be high on yourself
Blindly running into the new
I haven't relearned to walk
It's hard to learn that
And it wasn't the fall
It was the push in the back
I was always a step behind
I was always a step behind
I didn't see it coming up from behind
I was always a step behind
5.Wake Up
Wake up, everybody's leaving.
Daylight has a way of creeping up, when you're in love, when
you're in love.
Sickness, everybody has it, mine just happens to be hidden.
And you, what about you? What about you?
Chorus:
I won't even begin, telling you how sorry I am.
Those days, moving so slow, I kept it alive not to be so alone.
Real life, we were never in it,
Seemed like trouble to begin with.
But I, never refused, I never refused.
So don't stop, better keep it moving,
Although, memories are soothing,
I, can never go back, never go back.
I won't even begin, telling you how sorry I am.
Those days, moving so slow, I kept it alive not to be so alone.
I'm feeling like a child
Like someone might find out
I shouldn't be here at all
But these things do come around
And it may as well be my turn to take it all
I won't even begin telling you how sorry I am
Those days, moving so slow, I kept it alive not to be so alone
I won't even begin telling you how sorry I am
Those days, moving so slow, I kept it alive not to be so alone
6.Brink of Love
These are letters I don't write
Every evening I give up the fight
And I see beauty in every day
But the beauty of words won't come my way
And I don't care what you think about love
I've heard stories, honest and true
Flowing rivers that lead into you
And things get easy when you let them out
But you pack in your pain 'til you're ready to shout
And I don't care what you think
I'll just sit here, here on the brink of love
And it's a long way down
You should have held my hand
I liked you better when you lied
You were more to the point
And you looked me in the eye with love
These are letters I don't write
Every evening I give up the fight
And I see beauty in every day
But the beauty of words won't come my way
And I don't care what you think
I'll just sit here, here on the brink of love
I don't care what you think
I'll just sit here, here on the brink of love
7.All I See
I miss you tonight in the company of new friends
I can't seem to speak my mind
The city is so real, the people look through me
And everyone knows my sign
All that I see
All that I see here is you
I'm wreckless out here where time has no meaning
The nights seem to last for days
But the time that I spend and the ones who are with me
They don't pretend to stay
All that I see
All that I see here is you
And it's too late, it's too late to try
Separation is so hard to find
All that I see here is you
So listen up now
For the sake of my own life
This one is for you
8.All We Said
It was getting late
Am
But she said let's stay
And you can help me smile
But the lights went up
And the music stopped
And all her mystery died
She was looking for someone to carry her through
She was looking for a way to keep it all new
So she took my hand
And we tipped the band
And went along the way
But the night was young
And she needed fun
Or so she liked to say
She was looking for someone to carry her through
She was looking for a way to keep it all new
So lay your head on mine
And stay with me tonight
So we spent the night
And the morning light
Crept across the bed
And we said goodbye
Without meeting eyes
And that was all we said
She was looking for someone to carry her through
She was looking for a way to keep it all new
9.Missing Children
Wake up and check the mail
Hoping to find a letter from you
But all I find are missing children
Turn on the morning news
Hoping to see a resemblance of you
But all I see are missing children
Tell me - do you miss me like a missing child
Trying to start my day
Pouring the coffee, reach for the milk
And the carton says...have you seen these children
So I go to church and pray
Down on my knees when the plate comes with
'Please give what you can for the missing children'
Tell me - do you miss me like a missing child
And I do feel bad for faces in my face all day
But the circumstance means I can't think of anything but you
No I can't care for anyone but you
So I try to get away
Whole different place but the signs are the same
There's always more, more missing children
And when I close my eyes
I used to dream sweet dreams of you
Now all my dreams are missing children
And I miss you - I miss you like a missing child
Yeah I miss you - I miss you like a missing child
10.Days in the Park
I bet you think it's over
The misery is gone
Turn your back and promise
Days in the park
The hours that we wasted
Reading our lines
Ribbons that I gave you
Fall like pine needles to the ground
Your heart is safe, it can't be found
And the postcards that you send
Excuses for the letters you can't write
And don't you think I care
When you don't come home at night
It's always something special
That brings you home
You're better on occasions
To let me know
The pleasures of your new life
Lead you away
The path of least resistance
There's always a safe way to let me see
The things you try your best to feel
And the postcards that you send
Excuses for the letters that you can't write
And don't you think I care
When you don't come home at night
I wonder if you see it
As something you've done
Turn your back and promise
Days in the park
