Real Good 04:14
"You are a cannonball" She says like I don't know it "Tearing through the stone without a thought for skin that might surround it" And it feels real good After the alcohol I'm looser and unguarded I'll put it in a song, more than just a chance to talk about it And it feels real good Hiding from a chance to play a part Making your excuses in the dark And if we don't go now we are never gonna leave Trust me Maybe I'm dead wrong And this is all dishonest Truth is never sung, it's never just a chance to talk about it It's a way to validate my luck 'Cause when I'm long gone At least I won't be haunted By countless idle tones that might not be my own and strip me to the bone Look, I need you in my corner I'm never, never never Gonna be so willing to fade Hiding from it Making your excuses in the dark And if we don't go now we are never gonna leave Trust me Hiding from a chance to play a part Making your maneuvers in the dark And if we don't go now we are never gonna leave Trust me

Haunted By 04:01
The cigarette between your lips just Reminds me of the smoke that's still inside every single small town that we burned to the ground I didn't know that you had a magic hand Collecting road maps in your sleeves and driving on I'm fond of all the stories you tell Another look at yourself They keep me honest And if I'm being honest everything's haunted by a bad memory It's a little dramatic, but that's a habit, it's what I have to offer If I'm being honest I don't wanna hear this song so Please, please, please come home And if I'm being honest everything's haunted by a bad memory But there's a desert in every letter that you send out that door The same seven bars have been repeating for too long so Please, please, please just Collect these bones, assign an image Each line, each crack, each curve could coincide with each time we fell down, each new life that we found And then abandoned - we'll never get them back A bandage torn off as a plea to find a home Be honest - take a look at yourself What are you willing to sell To get what you wanted? And if I'm being honest everything's haunted by a bad memory It's a little dramatic, but that's a habit, it's what I have to offer If I'm being honest I don't wanna hear this song so Please, please, please come home And if I'm being honest everything's haunted by a bad memory But there's a desert in every letter that you send out that door The same seven bars have been repeating for too long so Please, please, please just

All alone in your apartment Carving names into the walls I know it wasn't what you wanted And your voice is full of salt You wanna throw it in the river But that river's been dammed And it's safe to go swimming Made a new years' resolution Thought I'd lose a couple pounds Then I got a weed prescription Started buying by the ounce Now I still got that little belly But I don't give a damn As long as I know you're still thinking about me fondly Let's go outside What's the worst thing that could happen to you? We will be fine I know you're certain that the world's turned against you But you keep pushing back now Can't you believe for once you don't deserve it all? We still have time Like I said it isn't something about you But you keep pushing back I'll be on the couch pretending we could have it all I know you won't forget your problems But it isn't all you are So scratch your name off of the plaster And unfold your paper heart And if you're still gonna worry Try the best you can To remember the terror you feel in your chest isn't fatal We will be fine I know you're certain that the world's turned against you But you keep pushing back now Can't you believe for once you don't deserve it all? We still have time Like I said it isn't something about you But you keep pushing back I'll be on the couch pretending we could have it all Let's go outside Like I said it isn't something about you But you keep pushing back I'll be on the couch pretending we could have it all

FM 04:25
I hear it on my radio, radio, radio See it on my computer screen, what's it mean, mean to me? Another night alone, my eyes bloodshot, mind distraught, locked up top Feel my thoughts, why don't you feel my thoughts, why don't you won't you notice me, notice me, notice me? We've been on our feet all night There's nothing left but this Hold my hand and let's embrace that hippie shit And in the pitch dark I know where my friends are We know it won't be the same alone, so Let's jump in together Losing our minds in common time, 'cause I'm sure of this: Every beat, each heart, each sound, they're everything! Can't feel it through my radio, radio, See it on my computer screen, what's it mean, mean to me? Another night alone, my eyes bloodshot, mind distraught, locked up top Feel my thoughts, I know you feel my thoughts, I know that you are here with me, here with me, here with me My brain is so fried But I'm where I need to be At six we're still here, still smiling Intertwined, better than before Keeps us up, keeps us wanting more! Can't feel it through my radio, radio, radio There's just something that's intangible, in my bones, feels like home And late at night is when we're at our best, look like trash, caked with sweat Feel my thoughts, I know you feel my thoughts, I know that you are here with me, here with me, here with me Can't feel it through my radio, radio, radio There's just something that's intangible, in my bones, feels like home And late at night is when we're at our best, look like trash, caked with sweat Feel my thoughts, I know you feel my thoughts, I know that you are here with me, here with me, here with me Can't feel it through my radio, radio, radio No

Maginot Line 05:07
And if you're walking it home alone and there's a red light Just stop and think of looking back Right now the dozen strangers on the train Lift their faces as you pass between their feet in business class Pay no mind I know you're trying to put the miles away But I keep staring at the map, wondering when you might come back I won't find your maginot line Life shouldn't be about what you leave behind You know your heart won't be calm If you keep changing your mind Struggle keeping up You're such a runner Never gonna stop Can't touch you, runner It's getting worse for us Just lemme talk to ya Never gonna stop Just so you know - I've been trying Struggle keeping up You're such a runner Never gonna stop Can't touch you, runner It's getting worse for us Just lemme talk to ya Never gonna stop Just so you know - I've been And if you're up before dawn alone, and there's a red light Just stop and think of looking back By now your mouth can't even form my name It's not like I'm giving up, but my lungs are full of dust And I won't find your maginot line Life shouldn't be about what you leave behind You know your heart won't be done If you keep changing your mind Struggle keeping up You're such a runner Never gonna stop Can't touch you, runner It's getting worse for us Just lemme talk to ya Never gonna stop Just so you know - I've been And if you're up before dawn alone and there's a red light Just stop and think of looking back 'Cause you never were an Orpheo You can find your name in what you know Struggle keeping up Never gonna stop It's getting worse for us Never gonna stop

(Walkin' alone, walkin' alone) I keep on hiding when you turn into an animal 'Cause I know you want me for dinner And I'm old enough to know better Or am I just too old? It's Sunday evening and I haven't been home at all If I'm gonna lose my center It better be worth the effort 'Cause I feel like I'm hitting a wall You say, "I'm 28, it's slipping away" and I can relate But you've got me divided 'Cause I don't wanna be the guy losing the beat Who won't shut up about 2007 I don't know what kind of trouble You're gonna wanna get up to tonight Is it the kind that's gonna make me get up tonight? Or is it the kind that's gonna make me wanna stay inside? You've got me walkin' alone You've got me walkin' alone, walkin' alone So give me the keys, I'll get you a drink I don't even think that I know what I'm losing 'Cause if I feel like this around all of these kids that I've stuck myself with Then I must be losing something I don't know what kind of trouble You're gonna wanna get up to tonight Is it the kind that's gonna make me get up tonight? Or is it the kind that's gonna make me wanna stay inside?
