42 Weekends
03:58

Silhouettes on a landscape
as I look back into the sun
It’s not that hard to love you
When you’re hair’s on fire
I know that Pete told me not to
but I’m in love with a feeling
Stuff that’s easy to fight for
are things impossible to end
Maybe I’ll go back to the open fields
and get myself together there
And if I see the clouds they send me
it’s all good in the end
When the days fly by
but the year feels long
And my weeks are hard
42 weekends to go
And out of my heartache
came a different me
Now it’s harder to love me
It’s impossible to be free.
When the days fly by
but the year feels long
And my weeks are hard
42 weekends to come go
I am waiting for,
I am waiting for,
I am waiting for,
I am waiting for,
A new year.

Rainbow Junkie
03:13

You’re licking your empty beer-can
with your eyes open wide
and then you’re riding through my neighborhood
with flowers on your bike
You say you don’t wanna live like them
You say you don’t wanna live like them
You’re singing songs from your good old days
and they’re echoing out of the alley
and then you’re riding through my neighborhood
in the middle of the night
you say you don’t wanna live like them
you say you don’t wanna live like them
you say it brings you down all day,
those with their suitcases while they’re on their way.
and that the way you’re stuck is a better way
to stay alive, in these crazy times
You’re the Rainbow Junkie
and when you light up a cigarette
The fire twinkles in your eyes
when you say that I won’t regret it.
you say you don’t wanna live like them
you say you don’t wanna live like them
you say it brings you down all day,
those with their suitcases while they’re on their way.
and that the way you’re stuck is a better way
to stay alive, in these crazy times
you say it brings you down all day,
those with their suitcases while they’re on their way.
and that the way you’re stuck is a better way
to stay alive, in these crazy times

All this time I’ve been dreaming on
i’ve been singing songs
but can you hear me at all?
In my life I’ve had a shitload of luck
I’ve been driving on
that is waiting to run dry
So please don’t count on me
I am running out of fuel
I forgot to count my years
Is this all that I’ve become?
My heart is like a setting sun
i’ve been leaning on
but I can’t pass the nighttime
In my life I’ve had a lot of friends
I don’t know where they went
All alone again.
So please don’t count on me
I am running out of fuel
I forgot to count my years
Is this all that I’ve become?
And please don’t say my name
I hate that sound so much
Please don’t mention my age
So please don’t count on me
I am running out of fuel
I forgot to count my years
Is this all that I’ve become?
And please don’t say my name
I hate that sound so much
Please don’t mention my age

One Drop
03:43
|

|
Take the leaves out of my yard I hate to watch them die
Take the birds out of the sky I don’t wanna see them fly
When I can’t see myself.
And save a date for all the walls that once surrounded me
When I bleed much and there is red all around me again
When I can’t see myself.
But one drop
one drop
Can fill my luck, my love, my cup
Can fill my luck, my love, my cup
It could take the black out of the days that were blue in a way.
can you take the birds out of the sky today?
‘Cause I can’t see myself
But one drop
one drop
Can fill my luck, my love, my cup
Can fill my luck, my love, my cup
When I can’t see myself
When I can’t see myself
When I can’t see myself
When I can’t see myself
But one drop
one drop
one drop
one drop

My days are getting harder, while my days are getting lost.
and all the movements I make, they’re distracting me.
and I know that I don’t wanna be here and I know that I’m a fool.
I would rather leave me than leave you.
All our dances, all our nights.
all our fires, all our fights.
all our faces, all our lies.
all our places, all our ties.
I’m never gonna move away from here.
I’m never gonna move away from here.
I’m never gonna move away from here.
I’m never gonna move away from here.
My days are getting harder, while my days are getting lost.
and all the movements I make, they’re distracting me.
and I know that I don’t wanna be here and I know that I’m a fool.
I would rather leave me than leave you.

Killing Time
01:58
|
|||
|
Put my eyes underwater
or put my head in the sand
Put my soul in a song
just to kill some time
just to kill some time
Turn my Monday mornings
into Saturday nights
Turn my saddest thoughts
into an everlasting high.
just to feel alright
just to kill some time.
A walk through the daylight
could open my eyes
but for now I am leaning
on killing time
just killing time
When time forgets
that I’m still around
then I forget
how it sounds
when I’m killing time
when I’m killing time
when I’m killing time
when I’m killing time

Pour Me (I'm Drifting)
03:38
|

|
It’s not my story anymore
it’s time to go back and leave the stuff I love
It’s not my story anymore
I think it’s too hard to walk my road alone
Pour me, I am drifting
Pour me, I am drifting away
and I tried so hard not to fall back again
oh I tried so hard not to fall back again
It’s not a secret anymore
I fall with every step I take into the right direction
It’s not a secret anymore,
I think it’s too hard to walk my road alone
Pour me, I am drifting
Pour me, I am drifting away
and I tried so hard not to fall back again
oh I tried so hard not to fall back again but
Pour me, I am drifting
Pour me, I am drifting
Pour me, I am drifting
Pour me, I am drifting away
and I tried so hard not to fall back again
oh I tried so hard not to fall back again
Pour me, I am drifting
Pour me, I am drifting
Pour me, I am drifting
Pour me, I am drifting away
and I tried so hard not to fall back again
oh I tried so hard not to fall back again
Pour me, I am drifting

If Birds Were Songs
03:49

I miss the songs in my head
I miss the songs in the morning
I miss how they just fly flew out
Like caged birds at a wedding
Now I’m a deer in your headlights
On my way into the dark
The forests are hollow
without a song in mind
You make it real
You make it way too real for me
You make it real
You make it way too real for me
I miss the songs in the night
I miss them once in a while
I miss the birds in the pines
and how they sing sang their story stories
I miss those fantasy lines
and feeling high as a kite
And as I stand at the crossroads
Your headlights blinding my sight
Can I write you out of my mind?
Just once in a while?
‘Cause you make it real
You make it way too real for me
You make it real
You make it way too real for me
Can I write you out of my mind?
Just once in a while?

You’re all alone now
in you're little world
You’re all alone now
in you're little world
You should fly off
You should get out of my sight right now
I carry your name but
I don’t carry your soul
I carry your name but
I don’t carry your soul
you’ve got holes in your heart
Do you have anything to live for?
You’re all alone now
and you’re trying to build up a storm
You’re all alone now
and you’re trying to build up a storm
But one little breeze
and you fall down on your knees
You're all alone now in your stupid head
You're all alone now in your stupid head
You’ve got holes in your heart
Do you have anything to live for?
Fly off
Fly off
Fall down
Fall down
Come back
Come back
You’ll learn from it.
You’re all alone now.

You put a mirror to my face
you said it’s all that you regret
you said it’s not because of you
you said it’s me cause i’m a fool
we met up the other day
and you left for a month or more
you needed help so i picked you up
you filled my glass and i felt the buzz
That’s how friends become strangers
That’s how they push you right to the edge
When i care too much, it always happens
It makes me stronger than i’ve ever been
we meet up at a place by the beach
I take a left, you take a right
You go to a place i don’t wanna be,
I take a swim, i don't wanna fight
we play some tunes,
we share some laughs.
we pour a drink and drink it fast
I take my car I go back home
you find new friends you don’t wanna go.
That’s how friends become strangers
That’s how they push you right to the edge
When i care too much, it always happens
It makes me stronger than i’ve ever been
That’s how friends become strangers
That’s how they push you right to the edge
When i care too much, it always happens
It makes me stronger than i’ve ever been

Still The Mess I Was
02:06

I’ll take a shortcut home and I I’ll strum the power chords
Then get my head straight, lie on my back
and watch the ceiling of my living room.
And you, you play my favorite songs
And I wait for my tears to come
Then get my head straight, lie on my back
and watch the ceiling of my living room.
Get my head straight, lie on my back
and watch the ceiling of my living room.
I’m still the mess I was
I’m just the mess I was
