Lyrics: Can you feel my heart beating to the rhythm of the rain as it comes pouring down? These clouds don’t take minutes they make moments to talk about Can you feel my hands shaking like the leaves on the trees? As the wind tears them off, you’re tearing through me Oh, I do like this weather and I don’t think I’d ever leave unless your seasons changed with me Build me a staircase up to your cloud and don’t let me down, never let me down Build me a staircase up to your cloud and don’t let me down, never let me down My body starts trembling as the engine winds down but we don’t ‘cause what we need is boxed in all around Oh, I could break down these windows, take you somewhere only you know that I don’t but I won’t do that, no Build me a staircase up to your cloud and don’t let me down, never let me down Build me a staircase up to your cloud and don’t let me down, never let me down And now I’m standing, running, from the rain and I know I can’t go home And now I’m walking, talking, to shadows and I know that I’m alone Build me a staircase up to your cloud and don’t let me down, never let me down Build me a staircase up to your cloud and don’t let me down, never let me down, no

Lyrics: It's been two days on Mercury So what is, I mean, was this if you aren't for me Ms. "Rum and Coke with two limes"? You fuck him but you won't make love to me As I'm giving up every last day left of my being For just one to call you mine They say absence makes the heart grow fonder Yet I watch and wait as your heart wanders away You need five days on Mercury But is this, I mean, was this how it'd really be During the meantime? Where I hate to love you and you love to hate me Trading revelry and ecstasy for misery Our wrongs would make this right, right? No? Then I'll leave you alone if you promise me who You choose to love you does so as much as I do, I mean did I mean do, I mean did, I mean do, I mean did, I mean do, I mean did, I mean do, I mean did I mean do, I mean did, I mean do, I mean did, I mean do, I mean did, I mean do, I mean did, I mean do They say absence makes the heart grow fonder Yet I watch and wait as your heart wanders away

Lyrics: It kills me you’re not curious to fall back upon my lips I felt it on your fingertips at the coffee shop, face sun kissed A teardrop forms in the corner of your stoplight eyes I hate to love You did what’s right and left I guess, tomorrow you’ve got a plane to catch But that kiss, upside down, spun my world around The curve of your body between me and the ground I held you to it what did you hold on me? Blood runs quicker through my veins and I should’ve never thought this was happening But if you gave me just one night I swear to god I’d do you right You never thought to think and let me be the only thing on your mind at night You’re not the most faint of heart so let me have the other part ‘Cause that kiss, upside down, spun my world around I heard what you said before this knocked you down I held you to it what did you hold on me?

Lyrics: Romanticized misconceptions of this precipitous love that you won’t discuss So the last shred of optimism in me can only hope we are getting set up for something serendipitous I love who you are here and now but I’m in love with person I know you’ll be So if this is not fate and it’s destiny I cannot wait to meet them and to succumb to the woman that you’ve become In that moment of retrouvaille we’ll make the rest up as we’re making out ‘Cause that fire, desire, will have been deep inside us and there’ll be no one to put it out, to put it out

Lyrics: I was exorcised right it front of my own eyes In the other room to be exact Felt like fiction, it was fact Out of all it could’ve been it was my best friend so I’ll never touch you again Crimes against me, no apology for a love that can never be now In a fucked up way I wanna thank you but that don’t mean we’re cool ‘Cause my feelings clearly mean nothing to you Nearly lost my mind Had to leave my house to get high ‘Cause I could hear it through the walls Heard her running down my halls Out of all it could’ve been it was my best friend so I’ll never touch you again Crimes against me, no apology for a love that can never be now In a fucked up way I wanna thank you but that don’t mean we’re cool ‘Cause my feelings clearly mean nothing to you

Lyrics: I don’t have a plan and goddam do I need one now My cigarette butts have to long been littering this town I know that they’ll kill me if I don’t start putting them down But maybe that’ll save me from having to figure life out ‘Cause I’m closer to this past than I am the future Feeling less like an adult and more like a creature My parents have given everything that they could to me Maybe that’s why it’s been so hard for me to want to leave Nevertheless I have hidden some tricks up my sleeve To get out their basement- the ceiling’s to low for my dreams Still I’m closer to this past than I am the future Feeling more an adult who’s still on the bleachers What do I do in the meantime so I can get paid Until I’m making singing this song up on stage? I guess I could find a job that lets me still sleep in late So I could roll face and make it into work the next day See I’m closer to this past than I am the future Feeling less like an adult and more like a creature I do want a family someday so this shits gotta stop To give them the life that I’ve always been dreaming about Getting there will take just a little bit of knowhow Which I’m learning by letting this chapter of life take its bow Now I’m farther from this past than I am the future Feeling less like an adult? I didn’t either…

Lyrics: I looked at them and didn’t see your eyes Spoke to them and didn’t hear your lies Tasted them and didn’t savor goodbye Layed with them and didn’t start to unwind, I I looked at them and didn’t see your eyes Spoke to them and didn’t hear your lies Tasted them and didn’t savor goodbye Layed with them and didn’t start to unwind, I Danced at the same club where you left me that night Ordered a drink that I know you wouldn’t like So there and present I didn’t realize how naturally and easily I felt alive, and Like the sky is blue, in that moment I knew, I had forgotten about forgetting about you I had forgotten about forgetting about you I hope it kills you that I’m fine That feels so good to say that I think I’ll say it twice I HOPE IT KILLS YOU THAT I’M FINE And you’re no longer taking up my mind and my time I gave an arm and a leg just to try to make you mine Made a fool of myself to try to make you smile Wasted what gas I had to drive the extra mile just to keep the passenger seat warm with you for a while If only then I knew what to do- forget about forgetting about you If only then I knew- forget about forgetting about you If only then I knew- forget about forgetting about you If only then I knew- forget about forgetting about you If only then I knew what to do- forget about forgetting about you

Lyrics: Using the sheet to cover your breast We’ve tangled our feet and your heads on my chest Already, so baby don’t cover up yet ‘Cause we still have the morning to lay in this bed And I’ll hold you like you need to be held Tell you things you need to get told, yeah ‘ Cause you don’t know you’re showing me how to love the lover I have now You’re asking why? I’m asking why not? Fully in love you say you are- just can’t give what you’ve got But baby we’ve climbed that hill and it’s gorgeous up top So we still have running away to talk about And I’ll hold you like you need to be held Tell you things you need to get told, yeah ‘Cause you don’t know you’re showing me how to love the lover I have now

Lyrics: Watch as our children play and arrive at a thought ‘bout a newborn babe All their world- from a pawnshop ring Once you heard me say, fate, brought me a day when I righted all my wrongs through a metamorphic chase If it meant that you’d stay it was staying that way That way, that way, that way, that way That way, that way, that way, that way That way, that way, that way, that way That way, that way, that way, that way I know I’ve seen you before My memory goes so just to be sure- You’re the girl from the front porch swing where we rock away, sway We’re old and grey and been side by side so long we’ve said all there is to say And I’m more than okay with it staying that way That way, that way, that way, that way That way, that way, that way, that way That way, that way, that way, that way That way, that way, that way, that way I’ll rest and patiently wait for you to undress yourself at the gates Smile as I ask, “wanna meet the king?” In linen and lace, grace A hand on your waist as I pull you in so strong for an eternal embrace Since before we were made it was written that way That way, that way, that way, that way That way, that way, that way, that way That way, that way, that way, that way That way, that way, that way, that way That way, that way, that way, that way That way, that way, that way, that way That way, that way, that way, that way That way, that way, that way, that way
