ALONE

Whenever I'm alone I get this feeling, it's happening once again
I'm at half a glass without you, drowning in a whirlpool on the shallow end
But whenever you're around I am a fever, a hot flush in your face
The vermin in your garden, overgrown yet trying to pick up the pace
So I'd rather be alone
We're told to behave when there are borders and I'm afraid of heights
The walls you scale are frightening, tall and overwhelming,
They stand to remind how I just can't be myself in this atmosphere, it's much too thick
I just keep on choking instead of only breathing and I'm over it
A-L-O-N-E
All would be fine if you'd just leave me
A-L-O-N-E
All would be find if you'd just please leave me alone
I get this feeling, it's happening once again
And how dare you remind me, living in fond memories
Pretending we're still friends
Cause whenever I'm with you, I yearn for answers
Neat, wrapped in a bow
A simple explanation to expel frustration that you'll never know
Cause I'd rather be alone

DAISY

Like the sun in the aurora you were pink and gold and blue
I didn't want your answers, but all dead ends led to you
And I'd rather be wasted than wasting my time wishing someday maybe you could be mine
Cause here's the problem, darling: you were more than just an itch
Every time I'd scratch that glass you'd just reflect right off of it
And I'd rather be wasted than wasting my time thinking someday maybe you could be mine
She said, "Daisy, don't be waiting, cause he'll come home to me,
And I'm sorry that you're lonely, but you'll never be free
If you keep your hands in your pockets trying to find what you need,
Oh honey, save that last song for me..."
Release me, like you need me
Do you want me? Can you feel me?
Release me, don't come clean, oh Daisy
Release me, like you need me
Do you want me? Can you heal me?
Release me, please believe, oh Daisy...
He said, "Daisy, I've been waiting,
Won't you come home to me?
Don't be sorry, we're not lonely,
Honey we're meant to be
And we'll keep our hands out of our pockets,
Cause we found what we need,
Oh honey, save that last song for..."

ALASKA
03:48

The bottle almost empty, it went straight to her head
She cradled you in envy, you wished for her instead
Was it her eyes that night dancing in your mirror?
Was it her lips that lied before they locked on yours?
Maybe you weren't meant to know
Lately in my sleepless nights I'm waiting on a sign
But when it comes it never stays
And lately I've been searching for my peace of mind
I'll spend my time looking for Alaska
"To be continued..." uttered in the dark
She held your heart in fire and you lived for that burn
Was it her curve that moved you to be a better man?
Was it her words that taught you to never understand?

NERVOUS
03:12

When all we've said isn't enough
It rarely is, and babe, it never was
We trace our fingers through the rust
These amber stains are proof of what's to come
And sometimes when you don't deserve it I pick a fight without a purpose
Just to wake myself in case it's all a dream
Cause I know nobody's perfect,
But you still make me just as nervous as the days I felt you weren't within my reach
So walk with me through the woods
Let's shake these trees and see if they've got roots
This soil is ready for rebirth
A little hope is all it takes, a seed sown in the earth
And when we tire of these verses, I hope the ground steps in to save us
Keep the earthquake rumbling beneath our feet
Cause I know nobody's perfect
But you still make me just as nervous as the days I felt you weren't within my reach
Nail marks on my palms, your face in all my favorite songs
It's like my stereo is blaring in your smile
And this I promise you: no rings, no vows, I'd still be true
Yeah, even in the tamest touch our love runs wild
And when there's nothing left to hinder, I'll hear our story in your whisper
Hushed memories like visions in our sleep
Cause I know that we're not perfect, but you still make me just as nervous as the days I felt you weren't within my reach

CRAWL

He carved a letter for everyday she was gone
An alphabet recounting our rights and our wrongs
But when he was alone the words never came easy
They slid and they hid but no one believed me
So we took to the skies, hoped we'd never be found
And all the ones back on earth said, "kids, you better come down!"
I was thrilled and in love but my words, they were greedy
They hemmed and they hawed - would you ever believe me?
You say you've got questions but we want the answers
And you say, "slow down," while we're screaming, "faster!"
If you think you're so smart then why don't you do it?
There's only one way out and I'll crawl through it
She cried every night and set it aside in a jar on the mantle,
A gift that she hides in a cavern built out of all of her fears
Well it swallowed her whole, she lost track of the years
And if you look real close you can see time stand still
A balancing act that it's chosen at will
But we can't be the crutch upon which it is leaning
Because when that clock stops then who will believe me?
There's only one way out

BIRTHDAY
03:02
|

Well I spent time being angry,
I spent time feeling sick
Over you and all the shit you pulled back when we were just kids
But how was I to realize you gave hints all along?
You could've slapped me in the face and I'll still hang around
And ever year your birthday'd come
And I'd still think of you
I knew you'd find it strange but it's true
Spent a bright and sunlit day thinking how you've gone away
And wondering if I talked to you if maybe you'd have stayed
And I know that sounds self righteous, I know it's probably wrong
But I guess the fears turned into years left me too numb to call
And every year your birthday comes and I still think of you
I know you'd find that strange but it's true
Hope you don't find it strange cause it's true
