When we were fearless
Charms against the world
Heart like a furnace
Moon shining like a pearl
Just an honest mess
Stepping off the cliff together
Oooo, in the shade of another year
I wonder where the hours went
So bright so few
So many ways to burn out
So much fades to blue
I wonder where the hours went
So bright so few
And then you just lay down
And let the waves take you
Is there a dark horse
Somewhere in this hymn
How do we sing it
Ain’t nothing like a dream
But this is where we leave it
Out with the fallen leaves forever
Ooooo, in the shade of another year
I wonder where the hours went
So bright so few
So many ways to burn out
So much fades to blue
I wonder where the hours went
So bright so few
And then you just lay down
And let the waves take you

Seems Impossible
03:54
|
|||
|
Spent your life pushing forward
Looking back
Spinning on the table with your hair pulled up
Staggering like a real princess
Where’s your hashtag
Feeling like a vision till you fall down flat
Seems impossible
But that’s the only road
Tell me otherwise what do we long for
Dear lord
Ain't nothing like the real world
Now dare we take a run for it
And see where we end up
Seems impossible
But that’s the only road
Tell me otherwise what do we long for
Left our home in the cool of night
Everything right in the world
Just the two old souls and the end of times
Everything else has to burn
Show me more, show me more

When the fire won't listen
I’m reaching for the wind for now
Telling myself it's the long game
God only knows the way out
Seeing all you women
Bless you all the same
But it takes just one for the heart come
Out in the light of day
We might have chance
Honey, we might have a chance in hell
Couldn’t tell you how I dreamed this up
Just watching you walk across the bar now
We might have chance
Honey we might have a chance in hell
Couldn't tell you what it looks like at all
Just throwing that penny down the dark well
If your eyes are killers and the past is near to die
Yes I came down south to never wonder
And let these demons lie
We might have chance
Honey we might have a chance in hell
Couldn't tell you what it looks like at all
Just throwing that penny down the dark well

The Rules
03:23
|
|||
|
Heaven help us
We’re a mess
Lawless
And I remember
First time I saw the look
Oh my god
I hardly knew ya then
Looking at the town bewildered
All the hearts
All the numbers
Moving through the day without a damn care
But I hardly knew you then
Who breaks the rules like us
Who gets through this part untouched
Who breaks the rules like us
Not many babe, not many babe

Who am I, twilight
Feeling like an all-nighter
What a fool, what a world
What have not had time for
Now can I stand idle
With the hours gracefully
Staring into the sea
Longing for nothing
Didn’t I want it bad enough
Maybe I wasn’t scared enough
With another day
You’ll be hiding from the last
In the brilliant haze of your beautiful youth

All This Rain
03:00
|
|||
|
There’s a hurricane in the Carolinas
Otherwise, never safer
Bless our hearts we’ve skipped a page
Making me feel like a little kid
Don’t you want to live, like a million years
Stealing all the biggest dreams
Don't you want to live
Well I’m guessing I do
All this rain and the well is dry
All this rain, this wind, these highs
All this rain and the well is dry
Put the body down for the evening
Don't you want to live
Well I’m guessing I do
It’s like a rodeo in the dark of night
Now show me all the wonder when I’m dry
Don’t you want to feel like a little kid
Don’t you want to live, like a million years
Standing in the biggest dreams
Don't you want to live
Well I’m guessing I do
All this rain and the well is dry
All this rain, this wind, these highs
All this rain and the well is dry
Put your body down for the evening
Don't you want to live
All this rain and the well is dry
Don't you want to live
Well I’m guessing I do

Moon Phase
03:03
|

|
Tell me, tell me darling
Is it just a phase somehow
Or will I never know your warmth again
On the dark side now
Always chasing something
Never meant to get in your way
But even when the fog from the fighting lifts
I’ll be yours to blame
Even when the fog from the fighting lifts
I’ll be yours to blame
Who was winning
Was that in the vows
Taking the tally the whole way down
But even when the strike from the gavel sounds
I’ll be yours to blame
Tell me, tell me darling
Is it just a phase somehow
Or will I never know your warmth again
On the dark side now
Will I never know your warmth again
On the dark side now

The Party
03:30
|
|||
|
She was that dark and stormy
At the age of twenty three
So we’d had no conversation of which to speak
‘Till the moon rose up on the party
And we skittered out to the trees
Just two lonely strangers, struggling
Not even I could reach deeper than my throat
You could not even know the fables and the hopes
But I think we both know if we get back to the road
There goes another path
There goes another soul
Thought I was made for this
For just a moment like this
But I just lost the focus
And though your eyes were wide open
I only see all that been
I only see all that’s left
I only see all the demons

Can U Beleeb
02:20

Feels like I'm traipsing into the void
Questioning my worth, holding back the joy
Seems Love is not the pinnacle anymore
Just an obstacle to avoid
Can you believe it's been twelve long years
And with matters of the heart feels even longer still
Now you’re the shape that I’ve been molded to
But who am I and who are you
It’s going to be just like it always was, no nothing new
It’s going to be just like it was when we were perfect and all confused
It’s going to be just like the worst of days we ever knew
It's going to be just a gentle breeze
Feel like a hurricane
What can I even say
Where would I be without you
Feels like I'm traipsing into the void
Questioning my worth, holding back the joy
Now you’re the shape that I’ve been molded to
But who am I and who are you

Treasure
01:59
|
|||
|
Where in your soul, darling
Are you occupied
Watch the clouds tonight
What keeps the birds in flight
What sets your eyes alight
Treasure, Treasure, Treasure
Treasure this
Is it in the mind?
Is it in the wild land?
But no one ever seems to keep it in their hands
And nothing stops the sands

Sweet Dissonance
02:05
|
|||
|
Too much time on our hands
No one walks into death
The light just comes unattached
Ticket in hand
Put my feet in the dirt
The red-cracked clay of the south
I think it’s how this game plays out
I’m split down the middle
To burn or fade with grace
We come made for this
That sweet dissonance
Nothing paves the road for us
My sweet dogs will die
your sweet eyes will dry
The cancer comes like a train in the night

Every Life
03:03
|
|||
|
I had the clearest mind
Day or night
But nothing lasts forever
Is this every life?
And just a wistful babe
Chasing light
But nothing fades the leather
Like being told what’s right
Just tell me something of worth
Or show me in this world
Feels like I’m dreaming in hours now
Not the free man in the hills
Amongst the heather
With the full moon
On my shoulders
I swear I had the clearest mind
Day or night
But nothing lasts forever
Is this every life?
No nothing paints the pictures
Like being bathed in morning light
I swear I had the clearest mind
Day or night
But nothing lasts forever
Is this every life?
No nothing paints the pictures
Like being bathed in morning light
Like staring into open sky
With eyes like wings
Tell me, is this every life?
