A Reminder

Verse:
I won’t go wasting my time again
My love is everything I’ll forget
But when I look out you look back again
My love is everything I’ll forget
Sometimes I dreamed I could be
Someone that I could be sure of
But I keep falling back
Into your eyes again
Oh I keep falling back
Till I think I’m all gone
God damn I’m wasting my time again
Start over I’ll sing all these lines again
Chorus:
I don't know if i can find myself
I lose it when you go
You cut my face out from this town and built a city of your own
I know I’m not the boy I was then
This love’s a reminder (I couldn’t find my way, I couldn’t find it out)
Everything ends (I couldn’t find my way, I couldn’t find it out)
But if you want me now I'll find my face and bring it to your door
Verse:
Sometimes I dreamed I could be
Someone that I could be sure of
But I keep falling back
Into your eyes again
Oh I keep falling back
Until I think Im all gone
God damn I'm wasting my time again
My love is everything I’ll forget
If I just sing all these lines again
My love is everything I’ll forget
Chorus:
I was lost but I can find myself
It comes back when you go
I’ll cut your face out from this town and build a city of my own
I know I’m not the boy I was then
This love’s a reminder (I couldn’t find my way, I couldn’t find it out)
Everything ends (I couldn’t find my way, I couldn’t find it out)
So I can’t want you now, it’s time I face this living thing alone
Post-Chorus:
I was losing sleep to pass the time but I won’t wait for you to call me back
Our conversations drew a line your words weren’t anything I’d understand
I was losing sleep to pass the time no I won’t wait for you to call me back
Instead I’ll scream into the night all of the words that we could never have

Winona

|
Chorus:
Winona you won’t be gone
Light bounces back from everything
And so I will meet you home
When home is on your way again
Though I know you leave tonight
You won’t be gone we’ll keep some light
Winona we’re not alone
As long as distance keeps us close
Verse:
The city stone feels real again
Stopped losing words by repeating them
But Wisconsin is far, and I’m not sure if you are coming back, still
We helped each other to breathe again
and so
Chorus:
Winona you won’t be gone
Light bounces back from everything
And so I will meet you home
When home is on your way again
Though I know you leave tonight
You won’t be gone we’ll keep some light
Winona we’re not alone
As long as distance keeps us close
Bridge:
Ok I'm not sure
If I'm old enough to cry
But it's time that I decide
And if I’m away for awhile
I'll keep counting back from ten
Till I find you again
Verse:
The city stone feels real again
Stopped losing words by repeating them
Oh oh
Chorus:
Winona you won’t be gone
Light bounces back from everything
And so I will meet you home
When home is on your way again
Though I know you leave tonight
You won’t be gone we’ll keep some light
Winona we’re not alone
As long as distance keeps us close

Ghost Towns
02:59
|

|
Chorus:
Oh back when I was young
I thought I could be yours
I wasted all night waiting on
The sense that I’d fit in
But now that I’ve found myself
I’ll leave those ghosts aside
And make some time to
Build a life without
The one I left behind
Verse:
Don't throw my words back
They'll follow us both then and open up
The things that we lost back when we were young
Oh you never proved that
You wanted me more than some other son
Oh I… I’m not falling for it
(Oh back when I was someone young)
Half-Chorus:
But now that I’ve found myself
I’ll leave those ghosts aside
And make some time to
Build a life without
The one I left behind
Bridge:
Oh I've been locked out
So I can't get back home
Till I
Assemble this song
Take lies and lost hours
We can ferry them on
To a forgotten old shore
Oh back when I was someone young
Oh back when I was someone young
I’ve found my way out I won’t go back to ghost towns
Chorus:
Oh back when I was young
I thought I could be yours
I wasted all night waiting on
The sense that I’d fit in
But now that I’ve found myself
I’ll leave those ghosts aside
And make some time to
Build a life without
The one I left behind
Oh I've been locked out
So I can't get back home
Till I
Assemble this song
I’ve found my way out I won’t go back to ghost towns

Right Here
01:24
|
|||
|
If I’m alive then I’m awake thinking “It’ll be alright,
You’ll be holding me close, when the cobwebs are building”
but
I can see myself alone
When my life is at a distance
yeah
I can see myself alone
When my life is at a distance
“It’ll be alright”
“It’ll be alright”
Call me, won’t you say that
You didn’t mean to say anything
I want to find some new words tonight
I want some time to be right here
I want to give up this other life
I want some time to be right here
Right here

Younger Nights
03:33
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
There’s this song in my head it keeps circling the same phrase
But i can’t seem to write down the words I’m supposed to say
I’ll find someone else to be alive
So I can give this up
It's just me all alone back at home every damn day
I keep pacing the halls wondering if it means anything
Each step cuts through my open mind
In words I should have sung
Chorus:
So give me flight
Give me younger nights
I’ll build a basement cut from time
Where I’ll scream until I build a life
Bridge:
It just goes by
Refrain:
I was hoping I could love myself
I was hoping I could love myself
Verse 2:
There’s these holes in my head they’re all built on the same phrase
That “someday you’ll be gone and you won’t have made anything”
And they scream into the night
In words I should have sung
Chorus:
So give me flight
Give me younger nights
cause I’m just hoping I can find someone who wants to build a life
Refrain:
I was hoping I could love myself
I was hoping I could love myself

Anna (Worried Days)
03:20

Verse 1:
The fall brings back a long lost night
When you invited
My young blue eyes in
To your bedside
Your body turned age ninety five
The day you told me
That you'd like to die
Pre-Chorus:
I'd think I'm a failure
Your hands pushed that away
Held me up and safe from
Long nights and worried days (x2)
Well
Chorus:
I don't know your face anymore
In each of your eyes I see open doors
Where I am singing softly to console myself
"I won't leave you this way"
Verse 2:
On days I felt I was too blind
I kept the time
By looking out into your eyes
To open mine
Pre-Chorus:
I'd think "I'm a failure"
Your hands pushed that away
Held me up and safe from
Long nights and worried days but
Chorus:
Well you don't know my face anymore
In each of my eyes you see open doors
Where you are singing softly to console yourself
"I'm gone from you today”

Space By Your Side
04:08
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
The sun was a violent mistake
So it figures it would burn out now
But I think I found my place
In the stars it left out
I used to believe I was made
From the roof of my mother’s house
But like the cities we create
That home will go now
Chorus:
People never fade
They leave you out
They leave you out again
People never fade
They just fall in love
And leave you out
And leave you out again
And I know we can’t seem to fall back in time
But some nights I think there’s still space by your side cause
People never fade
I think I want out
I think I want out again
Bridge:
And I know we can’t seem to fall back in time
I was wrong, the space by your side wasn’t mine
But I don’t think you meant to leave me behind
So I’m not running away from this
Verse 2:
Surrounded by silence some days
Noise is all I know
The sun on my fire escape
Ringing out a note
Says maybe I’ve found my place (With sun in my eyes, I know I’ll find the light this time)
In its warming glow
As it tells me what I should say
Things I’ve always known
So
Give me back love give me some space where this summers gone
And I can dig up my own name in the yard back home
Where it hid from your silence
and whiled the pain away
So I say
Chorus:
People never fade
We just fall in love
And leave them out
And leave them out again
People never fade
We just fall in love
And leave them out
And leave them out again
People never fade
People never fade
I think I want out
I think I want out again

Conversation
01:12
|
|||
|
I thought I couldn’t
Feel anything
My soles on pavement
As confrontation
So when your words they
Caught up to me
Our conversation
Would be anything but
I won’t be around here
Anymore
And I wanted to be gone
And I wanted this
No, I won’t be around here
Anymore
And I wanted to be gone
And I wanted this oh

Oh West

Verse 1:
I know I can't pretend
This all wasn't my fault
So I'll meet you tonight
We'll tape up our eyes
So we can’t see who’s wrong
Still most times I can't cry
I just sing some old song
And hope melodic disguise
Makes me realize
What I couldn't say out loud
When you’re lost just pretend and keep it down, it down low, keep it down low (x2)
Chorus:
Hold me close
We’ll sing silence tonight so we don’t feel love
Cause I am so afraid of it
Cause I am so afraid of it
Though I know that if we just tried then we could sing out loud
But I am so afraid of it
But I am so afraid of it
Verse 2:
April nights I'd want to see your face but I, I wasn’t strong enough
Kept the time by thinking of anything but us to keep the silence up (x2)
Chorus:
Hold me close
We’ll sing silence tonight so we don’t feel love
Cause I am so afraid of it
Cause I am so afraid of it
Though I know that if we just tried then we could sing out loud
But I am so afraid of it
But I am so afraid of it
Bridge:
I know I cant pretend this all wasn’t my fault
When I call you, when I call you, when I call you (x2)
And I think i will
Still most times I can’t cry
I just sing some old song
But I’ll meet you tonight
We’ll lose this disguise and the silence will go
Chorus:
Hold me close
We’ll sing silence tonight so we don’t feel love
Cause I am so afraid of it
Cause I am so afraid of it
Though I know that if we just tried then we could sing out loud
But I am so afraid of it
But I am so afraid of it

Interstate

Verse:
There's this buzzing inside my throat and the static won't go so I’ll let it grow
Cause you remind me of a feeling I know covered up by a garden where we used to go
Pre-Chorus:
Still I’m afraid that we aren’t the same as we used to be
At seventeen when we ran outside you meant so much to me
Chorus:
So please be a friend
We'll feel our way home
We'll climb up the stairs
Till we can see everything
No I wasn't there
When they took you away
But we'll be ok
If we can feel anything
Verse 2:
But when I see you you don’t see stars
You just stare at the walls and count as breaths go
So I’m not sure what I should say at all
Maybe if I count along
We’ll find out where to go
Bridge:
Interstate I was hoping we could take a drive again
Into cold midnights where you told me how you'd rather die than live
For this
Can you wait for this?
Just give me a sign we’ll be building our lives out of old times again
And if you call my name I’ll rush right back here to make this right again
For this
Can you wait for this?
We started a fire
It covered us all then burned out
We’ll start a new fire
oh someday oh someday
so
Chorus:
Please be a friend
We'll feel our way home
We'll climb up the stairs
Till we can see everything
No I wasn't there
When they took you away
But we'll be ok
If we can feel anything (x2)
Post-Chorus:
Interstate I was hoping we could take a drive again
Into cold midnights where you told me how you'd rather die than live

Verse 1:
Down here
I’ve become
The photographs and poems
Of someone I used to know
Did they leave me for good?
And each piece of
The man that I’d known
Is a fall leaf found in a far and distant town
Thats underwater now
Chorus:
You left me under the ground so
When I wasn't with you oh
Where did you go
(Don’t leave please)
Verse 2:
Down here
I’ve become
The forgotten old prose
Of someone I used to know
Did I leave them for good?
And each touch of
His hand falling against my shoulder
Is a fall leaf found in a far and distant town
Thats underwater now
Chorus:
You left me under the ground so
When I wasn't with you oh
Where did you go
(Don’t leave please)

Verse 1:
Follow me back home, there goes another night
Of losing sleep with a ghost just to realize I’m more alone
Refrain:
You're
All I wanted
I don't want it
Verse 2:
I think I’m not myself, I’ve been caught in the seams but
Hell I'm bound to fall out
so fuck it I'm yours, we can’t live in between
Refrain:
You're
All I wanted
I don't want it
Verse 3:
I’d lost my sense of how to be more than what I’d left in the seams
I was nothing at all
We won't call out for help, but can we call ourselves liars
Let's just sit here instead
And pretend that it’s love so we don’t have to find it
Refrain:
You're
All I wanted
I don't want it
B Section:
Let me in December’s coming back again
It feels like when we'd begun
God knows I was too god damn sure of myself again
I should have known that I was wrong
Wake up you don't know if your alone
Or if they see right through you
Into that old hope that you were more than just a ghost like they were
Wake up I don't know if I'm alone
Or if they see right through me
Into that old hope that I was more than just a ghost like they were
Refrain:
You're
All I wanted
I don't want it
