I'm at an all time high where you left me alone with the sky these branches are covered in white, all white I'm in the safest place now that the chill has won in the chase settled in, settled down who knows when spring will come back around Everything falls just so even the rain can't melt all this snow everybody is paying the price, the price who knows when my heart sank into the ice

On A Friday 03:24
know exactly what I oughta do I need to leave well enough alone but I'm still chasing after you Though you push and you pull me you love me you hate me I am trying to hold my ground last night I was sleeping, dreaming of nothing when suddenly I heard the sound of the phone ring so why did you call me so late on a friday just when I thought I was over you whenever I'm happy you're there to remind me what a sleepless night can do so how are the parties and all the people say hi to california would you there could be snow here for all that I know now it doesn't matter that it's still june so do you still love me I'm sorry I asked you cuz all I can hear is the sound of you breathing I'll always be dreaming of you, you and I'm dreaming I'll always be sleeping alone in my bedroom I do and I'm thinking of you

Far Away 04:23
In the broken glass on king street your true colors in the dark covered eyes, little lies a tiny crack in my heart covered eyes, little lies time will drive us apart until I'm so far away you'd hardly know me so the years become my shelter from the damage that you've done a city street, a country road if you saw me you'd never know a city street, a country road I hope you see me and never know that I'm...nothing's changed I'm the same man I used to be but distance will make you forget me I hope distance will make you forget me

Lady 02:36
It's been a month or two since she left it couldn't be a year by now, or it could it's funny how time passed so slowly oh man I really wish it would get back to the happier days it was always better, I remember she could even warm december maybe you're right I should get out some more maybe yeah fine I will unlock the door let in the light and get up off the floor it seems like I lose, I let the lady win I always thought I'd go down in flames, son I never thought I'd flicker, fade and burn It's funny how time passed so slowly man, I got so much to learn like back in the happier days it was always better, I remember she could even warm december It was only right to do please don't salt the wound it killed me inside to watch her cry but I had to do it she was out of her mind

Still Life 03:34
This is a song I never thought that I would sing this is a closet I'm never gonna open for every bitter word that I would say there's the hope that somehow you might know it This is a feeling that you're never gonna feel and if you did, you never would've shown it hours waiting for a phone that never rings not knowing if you ever would have told me I should have seen it, if I had thought to look you're gonna leave me the second you get the chance I'll be stuck here, you get to disappear I'm living in a still life painting Here's the way the silence echoes in my ears and there's nothing anyone can do to drown it your picture at the bottom of my drawer your smile stays just the way I found it

Sail The Sea 03:34
Well she wanted to be with me But she wanted to sail the sea and Make her grandfather proud the way her Father did in 1960 Like I said she wanted to be with me But she wanted to sail the sea and So she took all my love and money And left me here in my misery So don't tell me, don't tell me How it's going to be alright Don't tell me, don't tell me How it's going to be alright You don't know a damn thing about my life So why don't you sit down and listen Well she wanted to be with me But she wanted to sail the sea and Drown the weight of the world Beneath the blanket of the Atlantic sea Like I said she wanted to be with me But she wanted to sail the sea and So she never came back to me And that's all there is to that story So don't tell me, don't tell me How it's going to be alright Don't tell me, don't tell me How it's going to be alright You don't know a damn thing about my life You don't know a damn thing about my life Dreaming and dreaming and dreaming and dreaming Until we wake up, until we wake up

You Said 04:13
here is a moment that you'd fit right into if we felt at home just like we used to here is a night that you'd keep me warm your body was heated by something unknown then you said the words I thought you never would say they came down like the waves, washing me away but you have been my ocean, girl, for long enough to know you can pummel on my shores but I won't let you go so if you don't call me or anything I'll be here waiting for the phone to ring you don't know me you said that you'd come back to me and I believed you I will send you a letter signed always and forever you'll just send a postcard, ask about the weather it'll kill me when you do it but like the time before at least I won't have a scar I can't bleed anymore so if you don't call me I am through, sick of being always there to wait for you

I got it in my head that I gotta be silent I gotta move in slow, grab what I want, then go so I thought I'd try it, but I am divided with my best laid plans, will you still say no thinking about all these nights alone without or without every turn in the road will I still get us where we're going if I can't come up with a reason to stay if I keep getting in my own way will I still get us where we're going Intentions aside now, this stop isn't final if the worst case won our love would roll right on so I say we try it, it's me you'll rely on these are my best laid plans will you still move on so all these nights of loneliness add up when you do the math the arithmetic of happiness divided you out of the plan well I am divided, I am

Front Lines 04:30
like a killing frost in the dead of night that's how they're taking us this time they're coming for the youngest bones they'll take me before their take their own don't you give up on me this time don't you just leave me here I did the things you said I should I moved away because I could thought I was here to set things right I don't know what you've got in in mind don't you give up on me this time don't you just leave me here on the front lines in the middle of the night I see you looking back on what you've done and if I never get to meet you at least just tell me how come they put me on the front lines now all I got are desert stars so far from home I am so far and if I never see your face at least come find me where I lay why'd you give up on me this time? why'd you just leave me here

It Was You 06:02
work got out at midnight and I drove home while the snow fell through the headlights I could've sat here by the fire, watched the tv had a drink and turned out all the lights but it was you I felt like talking to this is vermont calling boston come on up here babe, you'll get a brand new start by now I have got no idea, what went wrong, where it fell apart all I know it's...our entire conversation I will hold my breath and hope it goes alright cuz tonight I've gotta sleep a little got to make it through to the daylight but it's just...
