Can't Slow Down
03:53
|

Fall doesn’t linger cause you want it to
The proof’s in the snowflakes in my hair
And I used to know I had a hand to hold to keep me warm
But now there’s nobody there, there’s nobody there
And love doesn’t linger cause you ask it to
The proofs in the way you’ve let me go
We stand at the bus stop you’ve got ten minutes to make me stay
But I know that you won’t, I know you won’t
And I can’t slow down, words run round me til I’m on my knees
You don’t need me no more
Can’t slow down, days run round me til I cannot breathe
And I cannot linger though I’m aching to
Every bone in my body wants to stay
I can’t help but memorize the way you look as you say goodbye
It hits me like water on the sand
It breaks o’er me again and again and again
And I can’t slow down, words run round me til I’m on my knees
You don’t need me no more
Can’t slow down, days run round me til I cannot breathe
I can't stand here waiting to leave you for the last time
Wipe my eyes on my sleeve you're so stone cold
My heart broke into pieces but it's almost time, it's almost time
And I can't slow down

Your Pretty Heart
04:01
|
|||
You don’t get to be the one to pull the trigger, fire the gun,
And shatter this stale silence we’ve been in
Cause I’ve been doing quite all right with bitter days and loveless nights
And now you find your patience wearing thin
A smug look on your face and a half hearted embrace
Say ‘baby it’s time for a fresh start’
It’s so plain to see that somebody has to be
The one to finally break your pretty heart
Oh
You don’t get to up and go and take the high road when I know
You planned to play me like you always do
Don’t bother with apologies for I’d have been blind not to see
The broken hearts that tend to follow you
Darling give it up I knew you’d never love me proper from the very start
It’s so plan to see that somebody has to be the one to finally break your pretty heart
Oh
Not a moment was real, you don’t really feel
You don’t get to be the one to pull the trigger fire the gun
When I’m the one with aces left to play
See I’ve been doing quite alright just sitting pretty, biding time
While you cheated lied and dug your own sweet grave
Darling baby please while I’ve got you on your knees
Tell the truth you never loved me from the start
It so plain to see in the end I’ll have to be the one to finally break your pretty heart.

Solid Ground
03:48
|
|||
I ward off love by swearing I’m just lonely
But my name rolls off your tongue like something holy
We’re a flame in the darkness
Hard pressed to find a space we can’t light up
And it’s a shame I can’t erase the memory
Of the way your lips first felt when you kissed me
It’s a train wreck disaster
No happy ever after meant for us
Just like gravity you have got a hold on me
Stronger than I can believe pulls me close
Just like gravity, solid ground under my feet
Moves when you are next to me and I know
Down, down, down we go
In the daylight I can see this ending
And I know it’s not right we should stop pretending
But the night comes too soon
And I know it’s you my heart will rush to meet
Just like gravity you have got a hold on me
Stronger than I can believe pulls me close
Just like gravity, solid ground under my feet
Moves when you are next to me and I know
Down, down, down we go

Freshly Fallen Snow
03:33
|
|||
Here in this moment my voice is failing me
We’re at the corner; it’s almost time to leave
The streets are crowded, we stand here now and I
Cannot look you in the eye
I tell my secrets I answer anything you ask
Can we just drop it, can I just take this whole thing back
Honestly, honesty and me
Don’t get along from time to time
Oh I talk a lot about a lot but I don’t say a thing that means a thing
This time I’m keeping something in
I’ve given all that I’m willing to give and I’ll keep living with the knowledge
There are things you’ll never know
I cannot bear to be this wide open out here in the freshly fallen snow
Your breath is floating, hanging between us as a mist
My cheeks are burning part from the wind the shame your kiss
It seems to me it never means what I hope
When you pull me in so close
For you’ve had me frozen, you’ve had me held right in your hands
You’ll never notice, you’ll never truly understand
I cannot wait and I cannot stay but I
Cannot find the strength to go
Oh I talk a lot about a lot but I don’t say a thing that means a thing
This time I’m keeping something in
I’ve given all that I’m willing to give and I’ll keep living with the knowledge
There are things you’ll never know
I cannot bear to be this wide open out here in the freshly fallen snow

Find The Sun
02:55
|
|||
Sea meets sky seamlessly, how do I seem to be tangled up in blue
Endless horizons no clouds are in sight but I always find a few
Doesn’t it get tiring, instead of silver linings, I always look for rain
Say you wanna hold me, you don’t really know me if you did you’d think again
Considering I’m fragile, considering I’ll probably fall to pieces in your arms
Considering that when I get low I get so low I cannot find the sun
Do you still wanna be my only one?
Like soft kisses, warm breezes, softly she taunts, teases her way into my bones
Sweet as a siren’s call I watch your face fall as I hear the thunder roll
Isn’t it exhausting constantly rewatching all the ways that I can break
Say you wanna hold me you don’t really know me if you did you’d think again
Considering I’m fragile, considering I’ll probably fall to pieces in your arms
Considering that when I get low I get so low I cannot find the sun
Do you still wanna be my only one?
I won’t ask you to stay, I won’t beg on my knees
For I’ve got these clouds to keep me company
Considering I’m fragile, considering I’ll probably fall to pieces in your arms
Considering that when I get low I get so low I cannot find the sun
Do you still wanna be my only one?

All of My Life
04:50
|
|||
I’ve been in love with you all of my life I just didn’t know
You’re in the margins of days all gone by waiting to be exposed
Stick with me baby we could be fine
No guarantee but why don’t we try?
I’ve been in love with you all of my life, now I see it’s true
Every heartbreak and heartache was leading me back to you
Stick with me baby we could be fine
No guarantee but why don’t we try?
It’s not a fairy tale or a perfect fit, it’s just the way you hold my hand
And I have been waiting for you for my whole life
And suddenly I understand
I’ve been in love with you all of my life I just didn’t know
Safe in the margins of days all gone by waiting to be exposed
Stick with me baby we could be fine
No guarantee but why don’t we try?
It’s not a fairy tale or a perfect fit, it’s just the way you hold my hand
And I have been searching for you for my whole life
And suddenly I understand
Cause I’ve been in love with you all of my life
I’ve been in love with you all of my life
I’ve been in love with you all of my life

Time To Go
04:19
|
|||
It’s time to go I said in the throes of a party you threw for your friends
With eyes half closed I put on my coat and I wandered out in the wind
Oh what a heavy heart I’m holding
The empty streets make my sneakered feet echo and repeat like a bell
‘neath streetlamps shadows I let my mind rove through darkness I know too well
Oh what a heavy heart I’m holding
It’s like a stone in my pocket it drags me under the raging waves
I finally know though I don’t like it I’m the only thing standing in my way
You say I’m alright you blame the late nights you think you might understand
But dear you don’t see the thin line between swimming and sinking you can’t
Know what a heavy heart I’m holding
It’s like a stone in my pocket it drags me under the raging waves
I finally know though I don’t like it I’m the only thing standing in my way
And I can’t move, I can’t breathe, I can’t seem to do anything but flounder
Too much time and space to think has me struggling to keep from going under
It’s like a stone in my pocket it drags me under the raging waves
I finally know though I don’t like it I’m the only thing standing in my way

A Clear Conscience
02:42
|
|||
Old letters I never sent burning holes under my bed
Calling out my name
Late at night I think on you and all the things I put you through
I feel so ashamed
And a clear conscience is hard to find
You’re on my mind, you’re on my mind
Tell myself that I’m all right, a pretty little neat white lie
I tie like a bow
And I wonder if you think on me who treated you so callously
And left you on your own
And a clear conscience is hard to find
You’re on my mind, you’re on my mind
You’re on my mind, you’re on my mind
Begged and borrowed on my knees, I wish you would oh pretty please
Just let the whole thing go
And a clear conscience is hard to find
You’re on my mind, you’re on my mind
You’re on my mind, you’re on my mind
You’re on my mind, you’re on my mind
You’re on my mind, you’re on my mind

Coffee
04:34
|
|||
I always liked this place
Smells like leather and musty books
I awkwardly say as I rearrange my pie
You’ve been so quiet these days
It’s been a while since I really looked
I see the dark circles nesting ‘neath your eyes
Oh and I don’t wanna talk around this
No I don’t wanna let it lie
Oh and I don’t wanna let you go without knowing that
I know and you know you’re not all right
All my well worn words
Up and flew away
Into the atmosphere when I opened up my mouth
Like some curious birds
I see them fluttering into space
Despite my efforts I cannot pull them down
Oh and I don’t wanna talk around this
No I don’t wanna let it lie
Oh and I don’t wanna let you go without knowing that
I know and you know you’re not all right
So you drink your coffee
And I’ll sit here wondering
How we could be so far apart
Across a table, I’m not able
To find a way to start
I always liked this place
It used to make you smile
And I used to know how to do that for you
Once in a while
Oh and I don’t wanna talk around this
No I don’t wanna let it lie
Oh and I don’t wanna let you go without knowing that
I know and you know you’re not all right

Come Back Home
02:04
|
|||
Oh won’t you come back home
And swear to never leave
Oh won’t you come back home
Come back home to me
Oh won’t you come back to the mountains where I held you once
Place your feet in icy rivers, turn your face up to the sun
We’ll ramble in the wilderness until the day is done
Won’t you come back to the mountains where I held you once
Oh won’t you come back home
And swear to never leave
Oh won’t you come back home
Come back home to me
Oh won’t you come back to the prairies where the strong winds blow
See the sky go on for miles see the fields all flushed with gold
We’ll lay down in the grass and let you rest your weary soul
Won’t you come back to the prairies where the strong winds blow
Oh won’t you come back home
And swear to never leave
Oh won’t you come back home
Come back home to me
Oh won’t you come back to the coastline where the water’s wild
See the endlessness of blue, taste the salt upon your smile
We’ll dip our feet into the sea that reaches out for miles
Won’t you come back to the coastline where the water’s wild
Oh won’t you come back home
And swear to never leave
Oh won’t you come back home
Come back home to me
