1.When She's Near
My cover is blown, I'm faded and dreary when my love is away
my cover is blown, when she leaves me alone
I'm weathered and weary,
the nights are the days when my love is away
When she's near the new year's here
and there is not a resolution that I cant do,
I see things clearly when shes near me
when she's near me all the world is new
When life is revexed I stop thinking clearly
I can get so afraid that I push her away,
repentance is next, I miss her so dearly
see those nights are the days when my love is away
When she's near the new year's here
and there is not a resolution that i cant do,
I see things clearly when shes near me
when she's near me all the world is new
I'm waiting for the day when I am on her mind,
I'm waiting for the day when loves no longer blind, blind
When she's near the new year's here
and there is not a resolution that i cant do,
I see things clearly when shes near me
when she's near me all the world is new
when she's near me all the world is new
when she's near me all the world is new
2.Out Of Order
out of order
keeping quarters
out of order
keeping quarters
yes indeed, it's time to rearrange
what not is normal in my life
used to be so strange
i remember days when it took
so much more to slow me down
i've been lonely too long
i've been lonely too long
out of order
keeping quarters
straining to see through
the fog of all these things
promises and threats
satisfaction guarantee's
i remember days when it took
so much more to get me out
i've been lonely too long
i've been lonely too long
3.Not Sure
How long will it take
For these ties to you to break？
They're much stronger than I thought
I'm not sure that I'll get over you
I'm not sure that I want to
How long till you're gone
From every troubled thought？
Cause you're still here to heal what's wrong
I'm not sure that I'll get over you
I'm not sure that I want to
We both made the call
And it was only my fault
Such a beautiful view
With a long way to fall
I was afraid how it could hurt
To leave the safety up above
But if it doesn't, it's not love
How long till I don't feel
Like you're still right here
Reminding me of what is real
I'm not sure that I'll get over you
I'm not sure that I want to
I'm not sure that I'll get over you
I'm not sure that I want to
4.Betrayal
I don't remember much about that night
I'm pretty sure it rained the day I died
I think it rained, I think it rained
I'm pretty sure it rained the day I died
You and I were always closet friends
It's women that make enemies of men
A pretty face, a pretty face,
A pretty face would one day do me in
Her eyes were like the winter when she goes
Holding secrets only winter knows
And winter knows, winter knows
Winter's seen the wolves in women's clothes
She came to me in middle afternoon
We held each other close the whole night through
And love was blind, love was blind
I never saw her let you in the room
Someone always wins
And then they write a book
I sing my defense
Fingering a different crook
A gun shot was the only word you said
And all of my defenses came out red
Love was red, love was red
She left with you, you left me lying dead
So I watched her as you put me in the dirt
She had my wallet tucked inside her skirt
And I went numb, I went numb
So I'm not dead if what you did don't hurt
5.Elements Combined
to the girl i told to run away
the ghost i saw a hundred times a day
you weren't like me no you weren't afraid
you are elements combined
earth, air, fire wine
someday you'll be mine
everyday you'll be mine
you stuck around, but we didn't fly
weighed down by all i hid behind my eyes
i only hope that you realize
you are elements combined
earth, air, fire wine
someday you'll be mine
someday you'll be mine
i'll bury all excuses,
burn all the reasons why
i cant be everything you want,
and everything you need
we talk a lot but it's always small
tiny bricks that make a giant wall
i hope these words are a wrecking ball
you are elements combined
earth, air, fire wine
someday you'll be mine
you are elements combined
earth, air, fire wine
someday you'll be mine
6.War In My Blood
I've got a girl
She tastes like rain on my tongue
She's got the moon in her hips
And her eyes burn up like the sun
When I'm gone from my girl
When I leave her alone
It ain't nothing that I'm running from
There's war in my blood
I've still got wars to be won
My baby is soft and sweet
Somewhere between a flower and a gun
And where my girl is now
Someday that's where I want to be from
But love is dollar that's already spent
And love is a song that we've sung
There's war in my blood
Love ain't the tune in my lungs
So here's my consolation
An opponent is enough
It takes two to go to war and only one to fall in love
I had a girl
I know precisely what made her run
Her skin was like the sky
It made my heart beat itself like a drum
I long for my girl
When I meet her in my dreams
I tell her she'll always be my only one, yeah
There's war in my blood
There ain't a thing love could've done
There's war in my blood
There's war in my blood
There's war in my blood
There's war in my blood
7.Throw It Away
I think about the life I live
A figure made of clay
And think about the things I lost
The things I gave away
And when I'm in a certain mood
I search the house and look
One night I found these magic words
In a magic book
Throw it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every day
And keep your hand wide open
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you
There's a hand to rock the cradle
And a hand to help us stand
With a gentle kind of motion
As it moves across the land
And the hand's unclenched and open
Gifts of life and love it brings
So keep your hand wide open
If you're needing anything
Throw it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every day
And keep your hand wide open
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you
Throw it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every day
And keep your hand wide open
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you
8.Closer Than You Think
you've got a vision of some far off day
beautiful and bright
a carrot hanging out of reach
but always in your sight
there's an icon in your mind
that stands for happiness someday
a picture on the wall
of a kingdom far away
but oh, it's closer than you think
oh, it's breathing in between
oh, it's closer than you think
oh, it's right under your feet
the sky is much more blue
and the clouds are always white
the streets of course are gold
and always lit with rays of light
there's nothing on this earth
that's as good as whats up there
life is so much better
when you're floating in the air
but oh, it's closer than you think
oh, it's breathing in between
oh, it's closer than you think
oh, it's right under your feet
forget about your bother
if he doesn't seem to understand
the heaven you've concocted in your head
never mind your sister
when she asks you silly questions
about all the broken people left unfed
the burning questions are better left for dead
you can spend your life inside a box
looking through stained glass
and dream about a better day
and home that it comes fast
but oh, it's closer than you think
oh, it's breathing in between
oh, it's closer than you think
oh, it's right under your feet
oh, it's right under your feet
oh, it's right under your feet
9.Please Don't Call It Love
You were indifferent
I was young
We were both drinking fiction with greedy tongues
You were waiting for someone
Something to happen
Something irrational
Climbing the walls and falling in love
How do you find me here my dove
Where my sun also rises
Sure enough I was waiting for someone
Something to happen
Something ridiculous
Climbing the walls and falling in
what I'm now would call your love
Please don't call it love
Screaming our screenplay off the cuff
We were both stop pretending
Our drinks were enough
I awoke in the morning
Mourning the day
I thought I could have you
Miles away from falling in love
To find starring sweet enough
Please don't call it love
10.Mostly
This is the darkest day I've seen
I can't find an opening
I've never felt this pain in me
I've never known this anger
I feel like a curse
I feel like I'm getting worse
I'm bored with war in songs
I've been bitter far too long
Come on prove me wrong
Tell me I'm no longer
Tell me I'm not crazy
Maybe just a little bit
Maybe just a little bit crazy
Mostly to prove me wrong
I know there's something in my head
I can hear you insulting me
Thanks for nothing, imagined friends
I can hear you laughing
I feel like a curse
I feel like I'm getting worse
I'm bored with war in songs
I've been bitter far too long
Come on prove me wrong
Tell me I'm no longer
Tell me I'm not crazy
Maybe just a little bit
Maybe just a little bit crazy
Mostly to prove me wrong
I feel like a bomb
Like I'm screwing up my song
It's like I don't belong
No point in going on
Yeah come on prove me wrong
Tell I'm not crazy
Maybe just a little bit
Maybe just a little bit crazy
Mostly to prove me wrong
11.We Ride
Sun rising over troubled waters
Over troubled fathers of the sons
Of sun and sand
Steady now, you're the loosest cannon
Not yet a man, but we're not children,
We're not kids anymore
And we ride
We ride
We ride
Down these living seas
Down these living seas
Down these living seas
Winter comes
And the deep is free
And turns clever thieves to steal the breath
From angry seas
Hold me down where blood meets water
Where time is black
And white bright blue until you breathe
Breathe
And we ride
We ride
We ride
Down these living seas
Down these living seas
Down these living seas
Down these living seas
Down these living seas
12.Look For Me Baby
What you hold dear
Starts to disappear
You can tell what you trust
By the things that you fear
You can look for me, baby
Oh baby I'll be long gone
Yeah who warned you,
You white washed hue？
Please tell me why
As long as they do
You can look for me, baby
Oh baby I'll be long gone
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That I'm the fake
That can only end it blown
You can say I'm sure to go
But that I only go to show
Yeah you can give my regards
To your house of cards
You're dead in charge
Your embarrassing shards
You can look for me, baby
Oh baby I'll be long gone
(Look for me, baby)
Oh baby I'll be long,
Look for me, baby
Oh baby I'll be long gone
