I have body parts not connected sleepy or otherwise sometimes attention waivers do something new something you not like before with the wooden smiles and given clothes propped up like a president parlour tricks for fun what is it is I do or not do to you that makes you cry or curl up to die I know a place where space is no issue where hopeful is happy and stars are like tissues reminders you once knew this is my time spent with you

Any Sweeter 02:48
If you were and sweeter they'd cut you out like the frogs in the river that sunk the boats people said they were blind and giant in the night with stars and moonlight people would drown some saw shadows turn boats over in the dark Isn't it right tonight It's the same light tonight It's almost creepy how you looked that day a moment in time and the picture fades now grown, looking back you feel the same way Something like that day It's the same light today

The days come and find us our hearts live in the woods marked by trees tall and lovely barely branches you could reach I can see the appeal now Bring it in slow It's the end of summer bottoms who told you you are able to see the streetcar cables and breathe the stale, fresh air something comes between us place it here bring it in slow I must pause with out a friend I'm drowning in love Before my feet could reach fades with the best of me my arms make the most of it a love I wont regret

Radio Love 04:06
Who are you? drifting too? a sea of consciousness together we find it Like before, inside we have it grab it Right to qualify can't be satisfied all the rules inside and the mixed reviews Show them to me flowing through me Radio Love There's something to be said for consciousness and dreams have brought the future in our minds we are the same kind when it is right we will feel it every day
5.
Out of Sight 03:58
Never mind the unkind things she said running through his head eyes a soft grey hush come over to my bed maybe her hair was red, was blonde or was she brunette? never was she anything but everything he needed just then, just then flowing through his body, hoping for a piece a peaceful greeting, merely a kiss as if to say 'yes bliss' overnight she will make it right see you soon he said to her she knew he'd sail away the laughed together in his eyes I watched them through the blinds just them, just then, just them i see them alone

The Moon 03:33
She'd always been to honest she lied before she spoke no one knew too much of her at least that they could hope everything predictable in step for her own time windows, mirrors shaped in rhyme she wakes up in the afternoon it's still too soon wishes she could be the moon it's everywhere she's been and she saw the witches too they followed her around to make sure she would hollow out a hole with in the ground it'll take you down the colors were magnificent feathers floating by colors ripe, a seagulls night pinks, reds to make you cry colors that are everywhere the edge of something light
7.
Soledad 03:15
The fellas I used to wish for even with the best before me and I can't tell you why only loneliness cries that way There's a word that i've heard of it means what i'm trying to say it's in another language only loneliness cries that way so tell us when to win and take me home again and make it all pretend that we don't love you the moments I used to wish for even dreamed about i never said them out loud
8.
Cadbury Egg 02:53
You make me so mad you make me so mad crushed like a cadbury egg insides oozing out for everyone to see how delicate a chocolate egg can be you left me alone and you never listen you already know this is it so i keep it inside taped back together but everyone sees the cracks hiding the good stuff darling wont you take me back you left me alone and you never listen it's important to know this is it I'm melting away when I hear what you say you know you can't take it back I gave you my lovin and baby you just make me sad
9.
Lucky Girl 02:50
I'm coming across all wrong I laugh but sing sad songs sometimes I talk too much I know I'm out of touch But I am a lucky girl who loses herself in other worlds the fact that I mention them shows a lack of determination Feels like I make mistakes In the things I say or maybe it's what I think or is it just from drinkin I try to get used to life windows show the other side shadows of another world all the boys and girls
10.
The Waltz 02:30
I better not although it haunts me you see the truth I can't please bring me sodas or whatever I need when I'm hungover Again a word or two seems plenty don't make me come over there I'm sorry I tore your sweater and messed up your hair my friend no matter what, we live on in rooms and warm showers when i see a memory I feel it for hours like then
11.
who's gonna look out for you? I've done it before something in return I'm not supposed to say I've lifted, I've searched haven't found very much people need love when it won't touch them the heart beats so fast it never lasts there's a princess on the pillow my mind is somewhere else swells with the thoughts of maybe and gives me no rest who's gonna make sense of it? you know I can't things are leaking in people need love i need your love
