Well, you can’t un-spill it if you never really tried This miserable business it's an empty mine Go ahead and kill it don't just let it die The floor is the ceiling and no one ever cries It’s barely alive That’s hardly a lie I’m reserving my sunshine For some other yard Cut your losses cut out the lights Nothing grows around here anymore Except for random little paper lies You'd fight your own shadow if it didn't carry a knife It’s barely alive That’s hardly a lie I’m reserving my sunshine For some other yard Sometimes it’s hard To read between your lines So i'm reserving my sunshine For some other time I’ve gotta find a way to cheapen the day I’ve gotta find a way to cheapen the day I’ve gotta find a way to blow your cloud away i've gotta find a way to make you go away It’s barely alive That’s hardly a lie I’m reserving my sunshine For some other yard Sometimes it’s hard To read between your lines So i'm reserving my sunshine for some other time I ‘ve got to find How to make my time fly again I ‘ve got to find A way to make my time mine again So i'm reserving my sunshine For some other time i'm reserving my sunshine For some other time

I Know They're Blue Come on over and wake me up What’s in store for me today? Grey, green, brown and blue Come on in and make me wanna stay Go on try to shut me up It feels right to say what I wanna say I don’t need the dress rehearsal Only want a part in your play I don’t know what it is but it looks good from every angle Something different with every turn and you know I want to learn I don’t know how it works but it’s shining from every angle All alone in a crowded room and this one’s gonna burn Come on over and prop me up Give me your warm place to lay Grey, green, brown and blue Let me make you wanna stay Go on try to fuck it up It’ll feel good some other day Leave the mess I can use it all Just hang with me for today I don’t know what it is but it looks good from every angle Something different with every turn and you know I wanna learn I don’t know how it works but it’s shining from every angle All alone in a crowded room and I hope this one doesn’t burn I know what I’d choose I know what you’ve gotta do Either way I know they’re blue I don’t know what it is but it looks good from every angle Something different with every turn and you know I want to learn I don’t know how it works but it’s shining from every angle All alone in a crowded room and I'll bet this one’s going to burn

Who boxed you up and trapped you in Or did you climb in and shut the lid Did you set a trap & pull the string To shield yourself from what you’ve seen Our love will come from down under Bright like lightning born from thunder Piece by piece to be revealed These hands we’ve only dealt ourselves Oh Halo moon, the sun will sing But do not ask Mary before day-bring If your house comes down without a fight It can’t hurt you because cards are light Risked a kiss stayed up all night Come glow again for me tonight Our love will come from down under Bright like lightning born from thunder Piece by piece to be rebuilt These hands we’ve only dealt ourselves Oh Halo moon, the sun will sing But do not ask Mary before day-bring The moon you painted looks like i sang to you I believe in the truth I imagine as you I won’t leave you alone to water the grass These afternoons are proof of that This time it won’t be like that I promise you I promise that Never again will it be like that I promise you I promise that You’re not alone anymore We’re not alone anymore You’re not alone anymore We’re not alone anymore You’re not alone We’re not alone

Let down your hair So I can climb up Fast or slow? I’ll take you in reverse If you’re not there The way I never was I’m gonna wait you out And still find you fair I'll paint you a picture Frame it in the sky Hang it by the sun But I can’t find the words Tell you a story That won’t make you cry Too much of not enough But I can’t find my brush The barroom cheers They can't even compare Why don’t you slide Your chair over here I'm Glad you came back But where did you go? You’ve still got your colors Though your white is now black I’d paint you a picture Frame it in the sky Hang it by the sun But I can’t find the words I’d tell you a story That won’t make you cry Too much of not enough But I can’t find my brush I like the way your concentrations crinkle You search for a phrase and your lip trembles It’s much more than a maybe it’s much closer to where I’d meet you Anywhere I’d paint you a picture Frame it in the sky Hang it by the sun But I can’t find the words tell you a story That won’t make you cry Too much of not enough But I can’t find my brush paint you a picture tell you a story Though we’ve both been We’ve both, we've both been spliced Too much of much too little For much too long Will never suffice.

If you were going to You didn’t cross that bridge you would have by now but you ran it off the ridge sometimes the space it takes a little time it’s just room to waste it’s not yours it’s mine Don’t try to tell me I’ve let you down whatever we had Isn’t there anymore You don’t get to tell me I’ve done you wrong There’s empty space Where I held you before I can’t remember your face I'll bet it’s not as fine dropped off the pace it’s time I drew a line no more demands no more complaints I reserve the right to deserve to be right Don’t try to tell me I’ve let you down whatever we had Isn’t there anymore You don’t get to tell me I’ve done you wrong There’s empty space Where I felt you before Don’t try to tell me I’ve let you down whatever we had Isn’t there anymore You don’t get to tell me I’ve done you wrong There’s empty space Where I held you before Don’t try to tell me I’ve let you down whatever we had Isn’t there anymore You don’t get to tell me I’ve done you wrong There’s empty space Where I felt you before Don’t try to tell me I’ve done you wrong whatever we had Isn’t there anymore You don’t get to tell me I’ve done you wrong There’s empty space Where I held you before it's sad to see how far a once good thing can fall don't try to tell me i've let you down don't try to tell me i've let you down don't try to tell me i've done you wrong don't try to tell me i've done you wrong don't try to tell me don't try to tell me

It shouldn’t be long you know it should be soon Make me a man I’ll make a woman out of you I've got reams of paper and tubes of blue They convalesced into something true On the first day of fall I’ll call yeah I’ll come for you Why Didn’t I It’s a funeral celebration of a birthday death A make-believe party of let’s play pretend Can you sit in the corner and barely take a breath When night turns grey who are your midnight friends? On the first day of fall I’ll call Yeah, I’ll come for you Oh Why Didn’t I? Half the night in a barn you know I’m tattered and torn Hide the knives 'cause soon they’ll be home Make a light come on don’t shatter without warn Roll down your window 'cause you know I want more On the first day of fall I’ll call Yeah, I’ll come for you Oh Why Didn’t I? Oh Why Didn’t I? Oh why Didn't I It’s brighter over here It’s a brand new year

say you’ll stay awhile give me an easy smile this air is very charged from the sound you left behind spin me off a little web of your gold make everything new that used to be old I found an escape hatch from the attic where 2 red stars can collide no binders no blinders you'll like what you might find scrape my eye with fabric kiss me with your rhyme i've nothing left to offer but i'll give you all my time. I’ve got sweeping proclamations Written in bold Let’s do it in the morning When it’s time to unfold Something like this can never be controlled nothing like this can be ever be controlled let me be your satellite so in your orbit i can fly this time is not a try so make your planet mine though we come in pieces we fit together tight I prefer the view from above you Shine on with your little light. I found an escape hatch from the attic where 2 red stars can intertwine no binders no blinders you'll like what you might find scrape my eye with fabric speak to me in your rhyme i've nothing left to offer but forever is a long time. I’ve got sweeping proclamations Written in bold Let’s do it in the morning When it's time to unfold Something like this can never be controlled nothing like this should ever be put on hold something like this can ever be controlled nothing like this should ever be put on hold. Something like this Something like this Something like this There’s nothing like this.

Hotel O.K. 10:26
There’s a new battery of tests underway it's ok-if the boards fall beneath your feet as long as this new dead-end street leads you quickly home to me with all my flattery directed your way as the rain fills your lap don't make me set your yard on fire to wake you from a 17 year nap is there anything that i've missed other than you my only dear the lights in the sign they are all fixed well there is no vacancy here. I ran to nothing while you dreamt awake Beneath your transient maple tree they could not catch what could not be received merely hoped to lull the grave to sleep though many mistakes lay in the wake but the lesson learned is more what we had these last gasps of the past must be retired to open the present we've always had. is there anything that i've missed other than you my only dear the lights in the sign are all fixed well there is no vacancy here is there anything that i've missed other than you my only dear the lights in the sign they are all fixed there is no vacancy in here. what we've wanted for so long has made us do so many things wrong what we've wanted for so long has made us do so many things wrong is there anything that i've missed other than you my only dear the lights in the sign they are all fixed there is no vacancy in here. what we wanted for so long has made us do so many things wrong what we wanted for so long can still make us...it can still make us Strong

your breath is like a dull razor and your claws are sharp as winter should've burned down the altar on the 1st of november thanks for all the nothing and the things i won't remember i still wear my ring but it's on my middle finger get out of my ear get out of my house slipped up on the slipstream don't ever take a spouse don't forget your black cloud on your way out on your way out don't forget your black cloud hope not to see ya later that's a promise not a threat that paper certificate? i burned it in triplicate do me one more favor because you know it's time to go stop trying on people you know you're gonna outgrow get out of my ear get out of my house slipped on the slipstream don't ever take a spouse don't forget your black cloud on your way out on your way out don't forget your black cloud on your way out just shut your mouth
