1.	I'll Be Fine 03:36	lyrics	download
When you say my name It’s not the same As when you scream it But that’s okay When you held my hand I thought I’d understand When you dropped it But anyway I've been tied so long I don't mind Moving on When you changed your voice You said you made a choice And it’s not me, love That’s all right I’m healthy and young It might hurt a ton But don’t you hold back Cause I don’t mind My feet are stable now I'll be fine Standing ground I’ve been up so long I don’t mind Coming down Babe, I want you to know When you go Just let me down easy And I’ll be fine
2.	Storm Clouds 03:47	lyrics	download
Stone tired I could have kissed you and then said goodbye I didn’t try Now I’m leaving with two lips too dry Given the seasons that change Rearrange and exchange all we made Crashing like waves and the tides And the covers that hide all your shame How can I sleep? With these storm clouds You’ve the warmest bed around When the thunderclaps get loud I will run from the sound Stone tired Like a rock I will sleep by your side I’ll stay through the night And will sneak out with morning’s new light Given the time and the grime And the sand that we scrubbed from our feet Polished to prim, prepped, pristine, Purified, and kept clean in the heat How can I sleep? With these storm clouds I’ve the loneliest bed around When the thunderclaps get loud I will run from the sound I won’t give up But I might stall I’ll just keep picking up What you let fall Stone tired I still miss you when I hear goodbye I’d give it time But your face is still burned in my eyes Given the host who will toast To the ghost of the holiest man I could have stayed, could have swayed Could persuade you to give me your hand How can I sleep? With these storm clouds You’ve the warmest bed around When the thunderclaps get loud I will run from the sound
3.	Day's Worn Clothes 03:48	lyrics	download
Fell asleep with all the lights aglow Was too beat to even shed my day’s worn clothes Got to dreaming and I let it go Think it’s time to catapult my line I cast it out there but the fish they just won’t bite A simple breeze can leave you far behind Floating, swimming In the morning I awake to find Myself asweat with the lake still on my mind I once told you love that “I’ll be fine” I was lying A pack of memories, the perfect day The things you left me when you sent me away I never moved in but I meant to stay Godspeed, godspeed Board it up And keep me out Walk away or run Whatever you do, just keep moving A silver whisper lined in grey shouts Done means I can't keep doing Narcissism boasts the world’s collapse I tried a leap and I landed on my ass Pick myself up? What an awful task Buck up, grow up Catatonic catty chasms collide Darling, doubt derails desire in my eyes Corrupt, corroded, and capsized Goddamn, goddamn Board it up And keep me out Walk away or run Whatever you do, just keep moving A silver whisper lined in grey shouts Done means I can't keep doing
4.	How We Roll 02:58	lyrics	download
They said significant others were welcome, you see Well, I’d like to think that you’re significant to me And we can hold hands if we want to And probably will ‘cause I want to But do they know? Oh, will they know? That’s how we roll Do you think we can kiss before we go to bed? If not, I’d be fine just to lie here instead I might look in your eyes just to see you And probably will ‘cause I need to But do they know? Oh, will they know? That’s how we roll Something changed, yeah something happened to us I can’t believe you tainted my trust And you might quit ‘cause you see through And probably will ‘cause you need to But did I know? How could I know? That’s how you roll
5.	Home Run 05:19	lyrics	download
7 miles running And I’m told 7 miles And I’ll be home I miss my lady 5 miles running I’m getting sore 5 more miles And I’ll be home I miss my family Tired of fucking running It’s getting old 2 more miles And I’ll be home I miss my baby 1 mile running I’m getting slow 1 more mile And I’ll be home I miss my lady
6.	Jamie 02:54	lyrics	download
I am slow And don't you know? I can't decide How to spend my time I could love the way you laugh And the way you say my name But the world just might collapse If our hearts are not the same If I had more I'd shine X and Y If you could turn on a dime I would commit my crime I could love the way you play If the ball was in my court But I've come to sensing that Your sport just ain't my sport
7.	Shone 03:49	lyrics	download
Leave me alone Leave me to shine I’m shown But I know You won’t leave me alone I can break your heart in two I can rough up everything you do You can run in fact I want you to But I can’t make you go away Leave me alone Leave me to shine I’m shown But I know You won’t leave me alone And everyday when I am with you There’s something else that I would rather do I feel I hate myself but it’s really you Oh, won’t you fucking go away? I can see myself shining I can see myself aglow I can see myself shining If you just leave me alone I can break your heart in two I can fuck up everything you do You can run in fact I'm begging you Oh, won't you just leave me alone
8.	Crock Pot 03:55	lyrics	download
It’s a long way We have come so far And you know I’m in it For the long run And, darling The days are telling me It’s a good one I was equipped for war But it’s been nothing more Than a long walk With you, hand in hand Through Prospect Park And I wonder What your mom would say If she saw us today I wonder What your mom would say If she saw us together I wonder What your mom would say If she was alive Today Who’d'a thought that I’d be growing old With you by my side and I’d Be a mother To a girl with Curly hair just like mine and I’d Have a real job I wear high heels to work I belong to a gym and I Own a crock pot And I never leave home Without moisturizing And I wonder What my mom would say If she saw me today I wonder What my mom would say If she saw us together I wonder What my mom would say If she was alive Today You’re a good one And I’m starting to think I’ll keep you around some I’m the right one And you know that by now So quit your kidding Well you caught me But I happen to think You’re cute when you’re angry That is not true I am cute all the time Much cuter than you And I wonder What your mom would say If she saw us today I wonder What my mom would say If she saw us together I wonder What Denise would say If she was alive Today
9.	Brand New Glasses 04:35	lyrics	download
At the stroke of midnight You saw the moonlight Out your door Watching Degrassi Drinking Carlo Rossi That’s amore On the way home I contemplate those Memories Your face it flashes In your brand new glasses Looking my way And I know you don’t Want to be alone So call me, babe On the telephone It takes dedication To defend the nation And here I am Your gold locket Fills my pocket And warms my hand Back in Cleveland You made me believe in The Tribe Your brand new glasses They attract the masses To your eyes And I know you don’t Want to be alone So call me, babe On the telephone Things I say They could make you cry But your brand new glasses They will shield your eyes
10.	Suitcase 04:23	lyrics	download
Would you like to hold my suitcase? Would you like to hold my hand? If I could be anything you want me to be Would you want me to be your man? It’s not like me to worry It ain't like me to care But if you want me to hurry on home I suppose that I could meet you there And all the days you loved me Did I wait too long? The articles in my suitcase Think I packed it all wrong And all the ways of my past life Did I lie in a song? Stones and thrones, thrown and sat on Hesitation lives on I’m not the kind you can rely on To have an amazing life If you can't help but keep up with me We’ll have to take it all in stride My German blood and Swedish sorrow I’ll try to help it if I can If I change to be something that I am not Would you want me to be your man? And all the days you loved me Did I wait too long? The articles in my suitcase Think I packed them all wrong And all the ways of my past life Did I lie in a song? Stones and thrones, thrown and sat on Hesitation lives on
11.	Always Earl Grey 03:48	lyrics	download
I have a karaoke book Pick a song you’d like to sing Maybe Tusk by Fleetwood Mac Or Sultans of Swing Grab yourself a microphone And I will take one too We’ll sing ourselves a sweet duet Until the song is through Words you said to me that day That day marked on my mind The salty scented memories And meanings assigned Have yourself a cup of tea So we can sing all day There’s always green and always black And always Earl Grey Half of what I said to you Meant something at the time But now that I am looking back I cannot seem to find The meaning in the words I spoke And all that I would do It’s always green and always black And now I’m feeling blue Give emotion I’ll try to Bring the ocean To my eyes and I’ll Sing it loudly So you’ll hear and I I will conquer That stage fear It’s gone Half of what you said to me Meant something at the time But holding on and holding back Will make me lose my mind The pink words are for me to sing The teal ones are for you There’s always green and always black And now I’m feeling blue Pick another tune my dear We’ll sing it all the day There’s always green and always black And always Earl Grey Give emotion I’ll try to Bring the ocean To my eyes and I’ll Sing it loudly So you’ll hear and I I will conquer That stage fear It’s gone
12.	When I'm Dead 03:34	lyrics	download
You know sometimes I can’t lie Your big green eyes Delay goodbyes All these feelings I hold ‘em deep inside And over time The stack grows high My heart’s still bleeding red And I’m hearing things you said In my head Oh the time I crossed state lines And at what cost Babe I got lost My heart’s still bleeding red And I’m hearing things you said In my head “You will get it right,” you said When I’m dead
