I pulled the pages out of books just to catch my breath
I kissed every girl i knew and then i dreamed a dance of death.
I was thunder against water as I thrashed around the room
I knew the sunset when i saw it
Shared my visions with the moon.
my letters turn like hurricanes in notebooks filled with coffee stains swaying with the record player never growing old again and if I write a seasick waltz or disappear to shopping malls take refuge from the wind and rain and we could find our way to fall
Stardust, fools, and nonsense
Some things I want to say to you
We meant all the things we said back then
Some promises fall through
And when we came in from the wilderness
and when we stayed awake all night
i was the prayer inside a moving car
I was the last electric light
If I commit the perfect crime make little sounds from broken chimes repeating in a feedback loop to say your name a million times and if i write a melody of ashes in infinity and count the space between the stars then there’s a place for you and me
But in between the weeks and days
we stumble and we lose our way
unravel from the inside out
and lose the things we dream about
my letters turn like hurricanes in notebooks filled with coffee stains swaying with the record player never growing old again and if I write a seasick waltz or disappear to shopping malls take refuge from the wind and rain and we could find our way to fall

East Coast
03:25
|

i came in from the east coast
now i'm tired and i'm broke
and no one here is laughing
at any of my jokes
got a high and lonesome feeling
i've been haunted by the ghost
and i feel so disconnected
from the things that i love most
and i miss you
i miss you
if i could only tell you everything
that my heart wants you to know
then we could turn the tides around
we could let these hard times go
and go back to the beginning
and we'll be better that before
and you would fall into my open arms
just like a wave against the shore
and i miss you
i miss you

Dreaming Wide Awake
03:54
|
|||
Ive been thinking of that moment my eyes first met yours
After hours stealing glances from across the floor
then we're talking, standing closer and we're losing track of time
when we go i don't think twice before i take your hand in mine
and everything i know is gonna change
and now it's hard to tell where things fit it
but i can feel my heartbeat getting faster and i'm in a state i've never been
daylight breaking, we go walking through this sleepy lakeside town
feels like dreaming wide away and there's no one else around
kiss you in the tall grass underneath the weeping willow tree, put my hands around your hips and I pull you close to me
but everything i know is gonna change
right now it's hard to tell where things fit in
and i cant feel my heartbeat getting faster and i'm in a state i've never been.
I was fine before
I was stumbling around in the dark
and i never wanted anything more
but i didn't even know my own heart
i was busy making plans
there were things i wasn't ready to face
but now is the only time
this is the only place
and everything i know is gonna change
and now it's hard to tell where things fit it
but i can feel my heartbeat getting faster and i'm in a state i've never been
because everything i know is gonna change
and now it's hard to tell where things fit it
but i can feel my heartbeat getting faster and i'm in a state i've never been

Hard Times, Go!
03:47
|
|||
Are you headed for somewhere?
Are you running away?
Do you call it religion?
Or a game that you play?
Now the summer is over
See the leaves turning brown
Do you feel like a failure?
Did your dreams let you down?
Hard times come and hard times go
Its hard to change when its all you know
I don't say the things I need to say to let you in
I haven't been as brave in how I've loved you
As I know I should have been
I thought if I kept quiet
You might think I was strong
And now that its over
I can see I was wrong
When the parachute opens
Is it fun anymore?
Are you more scared of falling?
Or just being bored?
Our love was a promise
That we made in good faith
And it all seemed so perfect
But the circumstance changed
So I spend my days in a fever dream
In a lakeside town with the kings and queens
I don't say the things I need to say to let you in
I haven't been courageous in my love
the way I know I should have been
I thought if I kept quiet
You might think I was strong
And now that its over
I can see I was wrong

Days Like Diamonds
04:57
|
|||
my mind is daylight and broken flowers
storm clouds and falling silver stars
i was the wind in abandoned buildings
watching the sunlight fade alone in my car
solving my problems with melodies
lost in the minor keys
waiting around for something new
i made my home by the willow tree
alone in my revery
but all i could think about was you
hold on
i've been dreaming about this day
we'll be ok
i know that i'm asking alot of you
this time i can see where i need to change
i'm not the same
let's go
we are young and our hearts are true
my mind is longing for days like diamonds
waiting for weekends underground
i went back home with the broken records
somehow i'm always getting lost in the sound
solving my problems with melodies and lost in the minor keys
i try not to worry anymore
down on the boardwalk with hazy eyes
the band's playing lullabies
at sunset we walked along the shore
hold on
i've been dreaming about this day
we'll be ok
i know that i'm asking alot of you
this time i can see where i need to change
i'm not the same
let's go
we are young and our hearts are true

Strange Harmonies
03:40
|
|||
And in those weeks after the war
We tried to walk a million miles
To find the things that we had lost
And let ourselves go for a while
We needed time to make mistakes
A chance to change or stay the same
To break with what we’d done before
And sleep to dream of golden days
I wanted all of you
You wanted all of me
And I was standing still
Then I was falling free
We stayed awake for 7 days
We wrote our names on paper bags
People and places fade away
And conversations start to drag
When we survive the fiery crash
Will you say prayers for all the dead?
When you put on your lion’s mask
And shadows fall around our heads
If I have all of you
And you have all of me
to fill the empty space
With strange harmonies
And I’ll have all of you
And you’ll have all of me
Cause we were standing still
And now we’re falling free

Never Let You Down
04:01
|
|||
i'll never let you down, always let you down
always let you down, never let you down
but it's the simple things that i'll remember in the end
how the light bends around your body in our bed
i'm sorry for the times when i made you feel second best
it's just that sometimes i get lost in my own head
i'll never let you down, always let you down
always let you down, never let you down
it's good to be alone sometimes to settle down your mind
there are some things i had to learn all on my own
but stay away too long and you'll feel lonely all the time
and when you're gone this place just never feels like home
you're staring at the ceiling
i'm staring at my shoes
if we ain't got nothing left
we got nothing left to lose
wake you in the morning
maybe we could start again
because you're all i think about
baby and you're my best friend
i'll never let you down, always let you down
always let you down, never let you down

it seems like everywhere i go
somebody's asking me what's wrong
so i keep saying things are fine
and everybody plays along
but i remember how it feels
pretending everything is new
but then i find myself alone
i'm wondering who i'm talking to
chorus:
if it's time to go
can we go now?
far away from here
let's just go now
we put our dream into this house
you sign your name, you chose your fate
but was it someone else's dream?
or was it already too late?
this is the town where we grew up
the stars collided in our hearts
we never wanted more than this
one day it all just came apart
if it's time to go
lets just go now
cause we're drowning here
can we go now?
if it's time to go
can we go now?
far away from here
let's just go now

September collapses
it feels like forever, it’s bringing you down
the phantom you’re chasing
will bend and retreat into patterns of sound
and secret transmissions
they’ll make you a crown out of radio wire
before you set sail on
an ocean of fire
Come back and find me, I’m waiting for you
Here in the half light, I’m waiting for you
Where everything’s perfect
and everything’s empty and everything’s fine
we’re perfectly empty
it’s best that we all try and have a good time
the ones who burn brighter
will have no ambition for fortune or fame
but i know you better
because we are the same
Here in the half light, I’m waiting for you
Come back and find me, I’m waiting for you
Come back and find me, I’m waiting for you
Here in the half light, I’m waiting for you

Head Underwater
05:13
|
|||
the freeway divided our hearts and the neighborhood changed
the radio speaks of a love that can take away pain
I'm faraway falling asleep to the sounds of the sea
I'm thinking of you, wondering if you think about me
and love isn't something to hold in the crux of your arms
I'd turn all my days on their head just to keep you from harm
remember that time when we danced in your mother's backyard?
I wanna go back to that place but you make it so hard
It wasn't our dream but we played along
we followed the rules, but then things went wrong
meanwhile, back in the city it feels good to be lost
there's freedom in being alone, but it comes with a cost
the subway is keeping me safe from original sin
the sunlight is opening doors and I'm stumbling in
the freeway divided our hearts and the neighborhood changed
the radio speaks of a love that can take away pain
I'm faraway falling asleep to the sounds of the sea
I'm thinking of you, wondering if you think about me
head underwater and heavy heart
we keep it together to fall apart
it wasn't our dream but we played along
we followed the rules, but then things went wrong
and I can remember why we should stay
so head underwater and heavy heart
we keep it together to fall apart
our senses unravel and fly away
