Tuned Down 03:41
Fell down the well like a little kid Got caught in the blast radius again, Walked out like you'd never get a taste of it Slow down you walk right through me I was only waiting for you to call my name in the dark rooms hiding I could barely learn to love you even when you showed me how Now you're shaking in the cold Now you know You never had control Face down I know I'm a better man Oh how I'm learning how to live with it I'm found though I know I'll be lost again Worn hands will lift me gently I was only waiting for you to call my name on the crowded dance floor Show me how and I will love you even when you let me down I can count these numbered days Wait in silence, listen for the ghost trains We could fall asleep in patience holding hands and listen as the others run You're shaking in the cold Now you know You never had control

There's a cup, on the counter, leaking soda from the soaked through cardboard And it's dripping on the floor, absorbed into my sock but i never find another pair And your face, is smiling brightly, right below the list on my refrigerator humming softly like the bad news, coming from the TV in the next room Was there a ghost of someone living here before me, maybe a little bit taller, maybe a little less anxious Cause in my dreams I look like someone you know, recognized from far away in dim light It only happens after midnight Stand up, like you won't fall Like choices are only illusions Like the shadows on the wall Now my feet are leaving sticky trails down the hallway, leading to a staring match with myself Reflections always linger just a little bit longer than I can bear to hold my gaze, at least I think they do The radio is telling me things that I already know, the waiting is the hardest part, baby we were born to run What are we running from Is it the moon or the sun Stand up, like you won't fall Like choices are only illusions Like the shadows on the wall When your back's against the wall Oh the dishes in the sink oh they never get washed, cause I've got another stack and other chores to be forgot But I never forgot about you You're my writing on the wall You're my winter and fall

Acting Tough 03:32
You walk alone, down your streets of gold I could always tell what you were on Always tell who did you wrong Sell me songs, I can sing along I could always read between your lines See the wonder in your signs Feel my love, when I'm acting tough I could only tell you where we were Never tell you where it hurts I could be the sun, setting over white mountain tops Steal the light from darkened homes Steal the heat from shaking bones Love me when you can

Genius 02:26
When you're a genius they'll ask you about your name They don't want nothing but they're just too scared to say They never knew they could trust somebody with the answers to it all They never knew they could love somebody as dumb as... The saw you coming, it's always there I saw you coming on and on When you're a genius they'll ask you about your shoes They don't got nothing and they got nothing to lose He saw me coming, it's always there They saw you coming on your way From miles away All they have is dirt and dust And all their love it turns to rust All you want is just as close As the one you know you love the most

Bandwagon 03:25
Slow down you move so fast You've got to wait for the moment to pass And then we'll jump on the bandwagon As it starts to move on And we'll be the last to be cool Don't try to say what you mean Because it makes sense when you're Keeping it clean of all the nonsense That you think you believe And in the past tense I thought we could be something cool But sooner or later you're fooled In to thinking that lies can be true Now there's nothing to hold on to And you bring the whole ship down too Poison always works its way in When your guards down Then it comes for the kids It's like a bad song that gets stuck in your head And before too long You miss it like you miss a friend Who lets you down in the end

Last of a breed found in ocean waters Dark as the deep where no light would dare A colder kind of Hell reserved for those who wander Holding your breath, chalk it up to new adventures I feel what you feel I feel it all Over, under All around God bless, God damn Gods love, all around Slowest of speeds as the light grows stronger Calls from the deep lost on absent fathers Weightless and free to find the broadest shoulders The colder the love the warmer the need to wander I feel what you feel We feel it all Over, under All around I see what you see We see it all Over, under All around All I know falls from me Never home where I need
