Dirty Lies

|
It started with an elevated heart beat
Turning round to see you in a southern California autumn heat
The glass you were holding it was down past halfway empty
but you were looking thirsty so I offered you my drink
Dirty Lies, dirty lies would fan the flame
Dirty lies, dirty lies ain't that a shame
Flashing forward you were saying all the things that every girl
wants to hear
I would be your favorite one and only counting down into
new years- three two one
But that wasn't true was it? Sold me some line like you were
Aes Sedai and I was a kid
Must be a glutton for some punishment cause down the road
I bought it again.
Dirty lies dirty lies would fan the flame
Dirty Lies dirty lies ain't you ashamed
Now I know that if you take the time to listen you'll say,
'Honey, thats not fair.'
No whats uneven is me grieving when you're
running 'round like you don't really...
Give a shit.
Dirty lies dirty lies would fan the flame
Dirty Lies dirty lies ain't you ashamed
Go ahead and tell me that I'm crazy
like this aint some kind of convoluted love in disguise
Dirty lies, dirty lies, dirty lies.

Slow it Down
02:29

Give me a minute just to breathe
Give me a second to feel the breeze
everything's wasted on saving faces
I know you want to slow it down with me
Give me a reason to believe
theres nothing better waiting in the wings
Come close my darlin, lay down for real
life is longer when you're sitting still
Watching a river up on a hill
middle of the day it aint the biggest thrill but
I'll tell you something, I'll tell you right
it feels so good to rest a troubled mind
Give me a minute just to breathe
Give me a second to feel the breeze
everything's wasted on saving faces.
I know you want to slow it down with me
I know you want to slow it down with me
I know you want to slow it down with me

You Should Know

Honey you should know
better how
you build a wall I take it down
Tell the truth is it over now?
Cause the bed is cold I'm all alone
Honey, you should know.
I can't see my way out
you're side to side you left I'm right you're up and down.
That kind of dance, well, it wears a soul
My feet are worn from spinning for your ebb and flow.
Honey you should know.
Tell me that I'm losing my mind
I want to believe you
Say you'll be with me every night I need a love of the foolish kind
Honey if my way don't make you smile
then I don't know how I'm ever gonna do you right
And I can't wait any longer, no
If you want to go then tell me so
Honey you should know.

Sway
03:38
|
|||
|
Don't want to romanticize
no blue bird cry
when he float on by
Don't want to pick apart a night
leaving holes in the sky
or an illusion of light
Don't want a grey way and I
don't want to put up a fight
when all I see is
Black and white
I could be the blood in your heartbeat
the low drumming hum in a tune
I could be the sway in your breeze
something you feel when you move
mm hmm
Don't wan't to romanticize no blue bird.

Lyrebird

Honey I never thought you
capable of doing all those
foolish things you've been doing to me
But there you are careless as a lyrebird
mocking all the beauty in our lovers slipstream
Oh
All my friends keep telling me
he'll be missing you soon
isn't that kind?
Still I'm not sorry I loved you
I'm just sorry for myself cause
I held tight
But how much longer would you leave me on the back burner?
The fire's lighting I've had enough.
Oh
You can take the blame I'm keeping every other thing
except your dirty sheets and the dog bed
Still nothing more can help me
forget all we could've been
Now I've got to be leaving.
Cause how much longer would you leave me on the back burner?
The fire's lighting I've had enough
Oh
How much longer would you leave me on the back burner?
The fire's lighting I've had enough

Mistaken
03:25
|
|||
|
I feel I'm sliding away
Down to a watery grave
Growing pale brilliant by the moonlight
I feel I'm sliding away
Growing like vines on a hill ( thoughts are stronger than will)
Will you be loving me still? (once the jasmine are quelled)
All that we are we betray
All that we love we ashamed
And down the well I will fall
Drink to the loss of it all
and if you think you see it in the bricks leading to me you're mistaken
I feel I'm sliding away (did you say that you)
down to a watery grave ( would be wading though)
par une fuite cramoisi
And down the well I will fall
Drink to the loss of it all
and if you think you see it in the wind oh honey you're mistaken

Lions
05:42
|

|
Winters changing
I've got no one bringing coals to the basement
and if you should choose to go
I'd be lighting fires by the wayside
on my own.
Lions melting
my soul didn't know
the wound they'd be letting
bleed out once ice had gone
but it's staining their world
with my lonely bitter love
ooo
Darlin I never meant to do you harm
But lately it seems thats all I was meant for
Shadows moving
around the corners of my eyes leave me wondering
Is this my real life
or am I slowly losing my mind
ooo
Darlin I never meant to do you harm
But lately it seems thats all I was meant for

Coffee Stains
04:19
|
|||
|
I've been waiting for you to strike seven
it's been so long
I don't know when life became lines on your face
but honey youth will run
After hours of looking out for what we lost along the way
I know your color still
But there are coffee stains in my eyes and grey
is any lingering light
Time becomes all we do
and if those clocks keep ticking honey
I know I'll be loving you
I still feel you in the wind and the world spinning
but now I'm spinning too.
Please
lay beside me, let me feel you warming me
is it the real thing?
Time becomes all we do
and if those damn clocks keep on ticking honey
I know I'll be loving you

Seasons
04:36

Ain't it the tale of too many kinds
wasting away a precious life
I was trying to get the one I know
I've got right
when down came the sky
Some never learn their way around the world
every time I wonder, I do wonder if I would
be better flying higher with all them pretty birds
their movement's faster, but is faster just as good?
ooo I could beg the stars to align
ooo but it won't change the night
If there was something that could save me now
wouldn't it be them seasons slowly coming round
I knew a sailor who had travelled east to west
with that refrain just put one foot infant the next and
Wouldn't you know he made it over to my shore
but he didn't sail oh no he walked the ocean floor.
ooo I could beg the stars to align
ooo but it won't change the night
If there was something that could save my life
I'd be waiting for that wind in mid July
cause when all fair weathered friends are heading south
you know those seasons that you need are coming round

Time Waits for No Man
04:30
|
|||
|
They say time waits for no man
slowly it seemed
to slip out of our hands
Darlin I was waiting
all the time forsaking
everything I wanted
Did it cause I love you
don't know any other way to live.
Blue and hazel eyes
how could I say goodbye
Will you grow up taller
kinder, smart and strong or
does the cost outweigh the good
Closest that I come to
praying would be that you
never hurt the way I do
Blue and hazel eyes
I couldn't bear to see you cry.
