Oh No 05:50
Oh No Where’d the day go? I can’t recall Was it the winter when I stopped caring? Or the aptly named fall? The seasons They run They run together It’s something About About the weather Summer’s not as long As it used to be when we were young Oh no We can’t make a living Out of constantly forgiving All the reasons They run They run together It’s something about the weather The seasons They run They run together It’s something about About the weather

My head is soaked and saturated And I can’t let you wring it out I’ve got to hold on to this feeling Give me a physical reminder Of every place you found me in Where i was lost or loving Memories burn Bruises fade I want to purge all possessions It’s hard to clean up messes And if we lose all connections Will you hold on to me sweetly? I can make room for this moment I swear

You You You 05:52
Every time I walk outside I look up to the same dark sky The sun is always hiding behind the same cloud The one that blocks you out The one that knocks you out of love Daily trips and daily grind Empty pockets and no more time Mountains of forgiveness for valleys of wrong When today is yesterday and yesterday is long gone On my list of things to do Everything up through number two Are things in life I have to live through ‘Cause at the top of my list is you The sun is always shining behind the same clouds The ones that knocked you out The ones that block you out from love I’ve a list of things to do At the top of the list is you Every punishment, every bore Every knife that runs me through Are all in my way to get to you All of these things to get to you You you you

How am I supposed to go without you After all this time? Even though you’re better off without me I just want to know you’re mine Remember when we used to run like animals Burning in the heat? Now tomorrow when we both wake up We will both have different needs I don’t even know how to spend my time What did I used to do all day? Is it that I’ve stepped out of a time machine And I don’t know what to say? Remember when we used to run like animals Late into the night? Now I don’t know how to get you in here What I say just isn’t right If you don’t want me Don’t want to see me I’ll save my breath and Blow all the candles out

Felt 04:48
I could sit here for a year but i couldn’t bear it To sit here and listen I could waste the hours hanging on the minute When you’d glance to catch it Hey, I swear I felt it that time When you caught my eye I didn’t make it up that time As I sat here waiting for it Your hand just slipped away As I sat here waiting for it Hey, I swear I felt it that time
6.
Nostalgia filled a hole with delicate dirt From days gone by And muddied me with moods that only made you hurt And made me blind To every turn and your point-of-view I need to prove I never had the room For anyone but you Please come back Is there nothing I can do? Change my face? Put my faith in you? Listen hard to your point-of-view? Please come back
7.
There’s no difference between you and me But I can see spaces Gaps in the calendar A catalog of places I should go and work it out Shut it down and try to escape Let me go and work it out Shut my eyes and lose today Young hearts are always breaking From giving more than they can take Young hearts are always breaking Forgiving more than they can take
8.
Sewn back together This patchwork of time Cover up the holes Worn through from praying and sleeping Tripping on bluffed up moments of forgetfulness With nothing left to cling to Finding silver thread coating the outside Of every clouded moment When I was away Pinned down by painful regrets replaced by common thread Lying at the edge Finding silver thread on every clouded moment Sewn back together This patchwork of time Nothing to patch up just stitches to show Nothing to patch up just worn through holes.
9.
The fluids that I am under are fine I am an anchor drifting in brine Fallen in anger Twisting my line The winds are too strong Pushing you up there and Dragging me down here It's taking so long The winds are so strong The hot air that I'm using to ride Out through the window into the deepest night Is our love up above the sea Don't care where I'm blowing as long as I feel your line Twisting my fingers keeping you locked in time Is our love up above the sea? The winds are so strong Pushing you up there and Dragging me down here It's taking so long Is our love up above the sea?
