Make Up Your Mind
04:18
|
|||
I'm growing tired
Of this back and forth
of this in and out
Of this hot and cold
And you keep on telling me
That it's all in my head
That I should just deal with it
But I think that I should quit
Cause here I'm just biding my time
Praying you'd just make up your mind
This could be easy
At least it used to be
I'd show what I feel for you
You'd show what you feel for me
Now instead of getting
Any answers
All I'm receiving
Are only more questions
And here I'm just biding my time
Praying you'd just make up your mind
You say it's my fault
It's all in my head
But I have some thoughts
On where the blame should be pointed
It's sad but it's true
It's all on you
When you want me
When you don't have me
But when you have me
Babe, you don't want me
So here I'm just wasting my time
Praying you'd just make up your mind
Here I'm just wasting my time
Praying you'd just make up your mind.

Not Going Home
03:46
|

Last I pulled up in my car
And saw my clothes thrown all over the yard
And there she was, standing in the front door
She was screaming and crying and throwing a fit
And it looked like for hours, she was losing her shit
And I couldn't tell for what but I knew I couldn't take anymore
So I got back into my car,
Drove off and I left her there
Looked for somewhere else to go
Where I wouldn't have to put up with her
Cause I couldn't understand the game she was playing
But it seemed at this point, my decision was made
And there is only one thing that I know
Is tonight I'm not going home
So I went to the bar right by my house
To find myself a little bit of relief
And a woman walked in and sauntered over to the stool
Immediately next to me
She said that she's got a plan and all she needs is a man
To fulfill her every need
And that I looked like a fine candidate
To make her plan complete
I said "baby girl why you so upfront?"
She says "I only get like this when I'm fucked up"
And so I asked "What the hell are you on?"
She said "Nothing yet, but I'll get on whatever you want..."
Well, I couldn't understand the game she was playing
But it seemed at this point my decision was made
And there is only one thing that I know
Is tonight I'm not going home
Oh, what am I to do
When the loving part is through
Do I go find a little warmth
In another lover's arms
And I can't understand a thing that I'm thinking
But it seems at this point my decision is made
And there is only one thing that I know...
It's tonight I'm gonna leave my baby at home
And she can sleep there all alone
And there is only one thing that I know
Is tonight I'm not going home

Good Times
03:47
|
|||
I've spent too many nights in bars, I've spent too many days drinking on the job and I'm not sure how much longer I'll last. My liver's always trying to quit, I look and I feel like a pile of sh*t and I'm heading toward a bad place real fast. laissez les bons temps rouler, seems like everybody says, but these good times are gonna roll right over me. I'm just getting afraid that eventually one day, these good times are gonna roll right over me. I can't keep living every day like it's Mardi Gras 'cause I woke up one too many times in my drawers and I'm sure I know how you're gonna respond: that it happens to most of us, but I'm sure to lose many of y'all when I say I woke up in my drawers face down on a sidewalk, but hey.... laissez les bons temps rouler, Seems like everybody says, Lord.... but these good times are gonna roll right over me. I'm just getting afraid that eventually one day, Lord, these good times are gonna roll right over me. Maybe I should call a pastor, call a doctor, call a lawyer maybe I should turn myself in, go to rehab for a while just to get myself right and get back in the world again. But everyone who knows me knows when I get out then, I'll be hitting the bottle again... I'll be hitting the bottle again. laissez les bons temps rouler, Lord I better change my ways or these good times are gonna roll right over me. I'm just getting afraid that eventually one day, these good times are gonna roll right over me.

Where'd You Go?...
04:06
|
|||
Tell me where did you go
I’ve been waiting here for what seems like years
In the middle of the road
Taking up space on a congested crosswalk
And you really should’ve known
You can’t just disappear
And leave me waiting so long for you to show
So where did you go
Where did you go
I’ve been fumbling my keys in my pocket trying my best to gather the courage to walk away
But every time I start to move something tells me that I should probably stay
Do I have to wait forever?
exactly how long is forever?
I’ll Just be biding my time
Until I scan the crowd and suddenly your beautiful face is the one I find
I didn’t assume it would take so long so initially I didn’t mind
Not like you asked me to do this but I admittedly tend to be the waiting kind
But did you leave me behind?
Do I just give up right now and call it what it’s starting to look like what it is?
Or should I hold onto the slightest bit of hope that I can but
Do I have to wait forever?
Exactly how long is forever?
Do I have to wait forever?
Exactly how long is forever?
Do I have to wait forever?
Exactly how long is forever?
Do I have to wait forever?
Exactly how long is forever?

Up All Night
04:00
|

I think you're beautiful
You think I'm full of shit
And you make me unquenchably thirsty all the time I admit
I love the sun in your eyes
And the dimples in your cheeks
Every time you smile
You're everything that I need
To say that I want you is the biggest understatement
And when I'm with you all I know is
I wanna stay up all night
Falling in love with you
Yeah and it feels so right
It's all that I want to do
I wanna make love all night
And sleep when the sun comes up
Holding your body tight
Save your love for me, it's all I want
You drive me crazy
Make we question all I've known
Yeah, and maybe
Everything I've known is wrong
I can hardly wait
To have you by my side
No matter where you've gone
Without you I'm not alright
Oh, I just want to hold you when I see you
It's strange and funny how that's all I wanna do, oh
I wanna stay up all night
Falling in love with you
Yeah and it feels so right
It's all that I want to do
I wanna make love all night
And sleep when the sun comes up
Holding your body tight
Save your love for me, it's all I want
It's all I want
Maybe we won't work out I could suppose
That it's possible, that's the way that it goes,
But maybe we will see it through to the end
But until then
I wanna stay up all night
Falling in love with you
Yeah and it feels so right
It's all that I want to do
I wanna make love all night
And sleep when the sun comes up
Holding your body tight
Save your love for me, it's all I want

I Know We Will
04:58
|
|||
You're looking out the window, silent and full of thought
And there's something you're trying to hold and keep it bottled in
The tension is getting real and I'm unsure of what to do
And I'm starting to feel like there's a battle coming
With just one look, just one word
You can tear my world apart
We're in such a fragile place
And nowhere left to start
But go on...
Keep telling me that nothing is wrong
And we'll just keep carrying on
Like I know we will, I know we will
I know we will
I'm missing how we once were and I'm wondering even how
To fix it, when I can't even know where to begin
The distance, I see it growing and I wonder how I felt
And there's no way of knowing if I'll ever feel it again
If this is how it's gonna be
I don't know how long I'll last
It already seems to me
We're going nowhere fast
But go on
Keep telling me that nothing is wrong
And we'll just keep carrying on
Like I know you will, I know you will
I know you will, I know you'll
Go on
Keep this charade up the whole night long
If that's what it is you want
I know we will, I know we will,
I know we will, I know we'll
Burn this house down
Just to get our point across
Yeah, I know you'll tear it down brick by brick
It doesn't matter what you've lost
But go on
Keep telling me nothing is wrong
And we'll just keep carrying on
Like I know we will, I know we will
I know we will, I know you'll
Go on
Keep this charade up the whole night long
If that's what it is you want
I know we will, I know we will,
I know we will

My eyes are on fire
I feel a burning in my skin
And all I desire
You are withholding
Cause oh, it only feels like you want me
Oh, it only feels like you love me when you're feeling close to caving in
Oh, it only feels like you want me
It only feels like you love me
When the chemicals are kicking in
The sky is on fire
You leave me in a burning rage
And all I'm asking is why
I remain feeling this way
Cause oh, it only feels like you want me
Oh, it only feels like you love me when you're feeling close to caving in
Oh, it only feels like you want me
It only feels like you love me
When the chemicals are kicking in

Who's Loving You
05:12
|
|||
Do I even want to know what happened before I walked into the door
There's a strange smell in the air, and clothes strewn across the bedroom floor
And you look so surprised, babe. I'd love to know what for
Don't feed me no lines, I don't wanna hear your bullshit anymore..
Tell me
Who's loving you when I'm gone
Whose boots are under my bed when I'm not home
I've learned a few things between now and back then in my youth
Like:
-How to identify a good thing
-How to make it last, and
-How to tell the truth
...And these are concepts that have seemingly eluded you.
I'll tell you now:
I know what you've done, what we've gotta figure out is what to do.
But start with
Who's loving you when I'm gone
Whose boots are under my bed when I'm not home
Who's keeping you company, 'cause I know that you can't stand to be alone.
Tell me, who's loving you when I'm gone
I need to hear right now, who's getting love that's for me
I just want you to tell me before I leave
Tell me before I leave.
Tell me...Tell me.
Don't lie anymore, I could smell his cologne as I walked in the door. Tell me.
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Who's loving you when I'm gone
Whose boots are under my bed when I'm not home
Who's loving you
Who's loving you
Who's loving you when I'm gone
Whose boots are under my bed when I'm not home
Who's keeping you company cause you can't stand to be alone
Who's loving you when I'm gone

Shelter.
05:21
|
|
||
I caught myself today in the mirror
I didn’t like who I saw
I stared into my reflection
I didn’t recognize him at all
Which led to a bounty of questions
And none ever carried a modicum of truth
I see I’ve let myself go
Watched years and years unfold
And all I’m looking at is the proof
And I’ve been looking, hoping, praying for shelter
But all I’ve found is the cold I’ve been running from
I’ve been making friends with my demons
Found out too late what they want from me in the end
And my life so far
I’ve spent
Trying to drown them
But it turns out they all know how to swim
And I’ve been looking, hoping, praying for shelter
But all I’ve found is the cold I’ve been running from
I’ve been looking, hoping, praying for shelter
And now I know
This ain’t place where I belong
In all my running I just keep losing more and more
Maybe losing’s all I’m good for
Or maybe I should just keep running
Maybe I should keep running
Maybe I should keep running
I came here looking, hoping, praying for shelter
But all I’ve found is the cold I’ve been running from
Came here looking, hoping, praying for shelter
And now I know
This isn’t a place where I belong
Came here
Looking, hoping, praying
Looking, hoping, praying

Cicadas

This feels like the end
Or the end is steadily approaching.
There's something I can't fix
It's either you, or me, or it's us, and we won't make it.

The Tradeoff
04:12
|
|||
I'm Done.
We've gone as far as we can go
And sped blindly to the end of the road.
What I felt is gone;
Like it was wiped clean from my heart,
And now something else is taking hold.
All I wanted was
To give my all to you,
But we've run out of luck and out of hope.
'Cause someone
Is with all his might holding on
And you refuse to let him go.
So what do you say when he calls you?
What do you feel as he tries to win you back?
What part does he have when I need all of you?
Such questions I should never need to ask.
So you stay. I'll go.
I'd rather be alone.
I've seen enough to know
I'm better off on my own.
It's pointless.
It's a battle I'll never win.
Because every time I believe it's changed
You lift me only high enough to let me down again.
And I've gone way too far beyond my limit.
It's more than I could possibly take.
I've realized loving you is either a lesson,
Or a tragically pointless mistake.
So you stay. I'll go.
I'd rather be alone.
I've seen enough to know
I'm better off on my own.
You stay. I'll go.
I'd rather be alone.
I've seen enough to know
I'm better off on my own.
You stay. I'll go.
