Throwing Stones 02:32
lyrics
buy track
So you came back and I froze My eyes were so wide while we spoke You were near and far to see the world and I was stuck here throwing stones I was so scared of what would be by the time you came back to finally see me Hoping I'll amount to something Could I do better on my own? My voice doesn't shake like it used to I'll say what I mean; I don't need you I like when you're gone and I'm free to pick and choose No redo With both arms around you I breath you in I just needed to clear my head Power and love you treat the same You're not worth the risk to start again Started fresh with someone new In the back of my head you grew Until you said you're done, I had my fun and I'll never think of you With both arms around you I breath you in I just needed to clear my head Power and love you treat the same You're not worth the risk to start again

Second Guess 02:19
lyrics
buy track
Dropped what you once called yours New smiles make it so easy Until the past finds its voice and makes it known that it's not leaving And I got this heavy conscience, and I know just how to stop it Stiff drinks and my own profit It felt so good at first but it doesn't last And she said "I don't want you to feel this way" Yeah I guess that the future it more like yesterday Never seemed to possess Weighing down on my chest So I spin and pretend like I'm changing I'll pause and look for a way out It's too late to take back/rewrite now And she said "I don't want you to feel this way" Yeah I guess that the future it more like yesterday Never seemed to possess Weighing down on my chest So I spin and pretend like I'm changing The water sits so clear 'til you jump in Then you see all the mud as your boots sink The man underneath says 'we all sin, just learn from this now while you still can'

Convenient Friend 03:06
lyrics
buy track
Was I just a crutch for you to lean? A placeholder while you found stable ground beneath your feet? Was I just a convenient friend? Do I have you figured out now? Was I a fool to think that maybe you needed me again ? People whisper in my ear saying things that I don't need to hear Now I'm caught up in a feeling so familiar, so familiar (2x) When I grow old will you still look at me? 'cause I'm blinded now and I know you're right And I keep saying sorry 'cause you stuck around And then I won't leave and I'll waste your life People whisper in my ear saying things that I don't need to hear Now I'm caught up in a feeling so familiar, so familiar (2x)

Ceiling 03:23
lyrics
buy track
I knew all along Knew right where this would end up First inside your bed Staring at you as you lay there Ignoring the sunrise My neck so red from your love-bites It's innocent and fun But I can't trust what you're saying I know it's over You made it so clear in your silence I know it's over I just hope you learn your lesson Lock eyes with the ceiling It's much more appealing than you right now You can't keep your story straight You say wait it out but why delay? I know it's over You made it so clear in your silence I know it's over I just hope you learn your lesson Here at home now I call a friend To weigh my options and clear my head I think of how I left you seated at your desk (I hope we can do this again, were the last words that I said) Half finished makeup, tears on your dress (I hope we can do this again were my last words) I write each thought out it adds up the same Still I tear out these pages and start again I know it's over You made it so clear in your silence I know it's over I just hope you learn your lesson I just hope you learn your lesson (4x) You know what I needed to see, and that I can't let this be You still haven't called and I'm sorry to say, that it's over

Fix Everything 03:30
lyrics
buy track
You said you can't commit to this I'm never there and you're feeling it, I wish that you'd stop crying You said 'please come here, I'm so alone' When you know I'm out you have to call You beg for sex when I'm gone too long And you pray that it will fix what's wrong Dry your eyes, my dear Stop expecting exactly what you wanna hear I can't fix everything that's wrong If not seeing me is your biggest problem, I think that you'll survive I'll play the saddest song in the world as you lay alone for six more nights Dry your eyes, my dear Stop expecting exactly what you wanna hear I can't fix everything that's wrong

So Long 02:29
lyrics
buy track
So long to the things we left forgotten, when you walked out and I got stuck with all the baggage somehow Our talks only help me while I'm spinning Whatever will be will be I hoped that you would meet me in December, so we could talk and you might love me one more hour, I wrote ya down another lovely letter Hope you weep the whole drive home I watch the time pass by, I still pull your hairs from my clothes The memories're in the rear view and they're dying 'cause it's cold Four months until we ask ourselves this question, will we Move on or start mending broken fences, I think That we, we both learned our lesson Not to late to make new plans I watch the time pass by, I still pull your hairs from my clothes The memories're in the rear view and they're dying 'cause it's cold So long to the things we left forgotten, when you walked out and I got stuck with all the baggage somehow Our talks only help me while I'm spinning Whatever will be will be

Almonds 02:45
lyrics
buy track
I'm always looking for things to distract me I can't keep this act up, I'm looking for something Something to relax me 'cause I can't sleep You want me, but as someone I can't be Even now that months have passed You would think that I'm finally back to normal But I can't seem to find my feet And this change is still hard for me To come to terms with the fact that you moved on again I'd like to feel anything for anyone again 'Out of sight and out of mind' is what you said But you still got a permanent place inside my head And now you see me as a lesson learned If that's all that it was then what the hell was the point of it? I'm always looking for things to distract me I can't keep this act up, I'm looking for something Something to relax me 'cause I can't sleep You want me, but as someone I can't be And I still make believe that you get me Guess it's probably 'cause I'm still spinnin' Always had a way of making me dizzy Play it over and over in my head (I keep wishing things were different) Still come over tonight if you let me Guess it's probably 'cause I'm still spinnin' (I keep wishing) I'm always looking for things to distract me I can't keep this act up, I'm looking for something Something to relax me 'cause I can't sleep You want me, but as someone I can't be

Cross Out My Name 03:52
lyrics
buy track
it wasn't what you said it was watching the words fall out of your mouth to the floor we both knew where this was going so you kissed me and made your way to the door And that's where I'll stay 'til I can think this through and in the morning I'll dry out You were right, this is forced, unexciting I couldn't take control when I normally do I still don't know my problem Was I not ready or was I just not into you? So that's where I'll stay Alone to think this through Until I finally dry out Don't get me wrong, I'm not losing sleep But you still cross my mind, I still see your face in every bar or crowded place Let's go back to being strangers and you cross out my name (cross out my name) Is this all that you wanted? When I showed up tonight was your heart still jumpin'? I'm too far gone to speak, but I hear just fine I agree this is alright Don't get me wrong, I'm not losing sleep But you still cross my mind, I still see your face in every bar or crowded place Let's go back to being strangers and you cross out my name (cross out my name) Don't get me wrong, I'm not losing sleep But you still cross my mind, I still see your face in every bar or crowded place Let's go back to being strangers and you cross out my name (cross out my name)
