Should've Known

We're walking a fine line in the middle of now and never
And the tree of knowledge is as soft as newly tanned leather
You should've known
You should've known
That there is no name attached to my skin that I can remember
So if there were ties that bound us together let's sever
Cause you should've known
You should've known
You hide yourself from the sun cause you can't stand the burning
You wait impatiently holding out your arms for the one you yearn for
Cause she brushed you off
And you should've known
Trains pass every minute on the hour and you're afraid you might fall
So you walk round trip around your world that is so small
Cause she brushed you off
And you should've known
That we're walking a fine line in the middle of now and never
And the tree of knowledge is as soft as newly tanned leather
You should've known
You should've known
That there is no name attached to my skin that I can remember
So if there were ties that bound us together let's sever
Cause you should've known
You should've known
You hide yourself from the sun cause you can't stand the burning
Trains pass every minute on the hour and you're afraid you might fall
So you take pills, take time, take one
It will make you feel better
But the more self-sufficient we become
The less we wanna touch each other
So I brushed you off
And you should've known

Fall Into Grace
04:55

I hear your name it’s like a pounding in my brain
Like a hangover that keeps me sleeping in my bed
So I throw the covers over me cause I don’t want nobody to see
These visions of azure that you gave here to me
Like a present that I stole
Now it’s written across my face
I will feed upon your hunger til we fall into grace
I ain’t go no shame
No I ain't got anything to hide
Cause shame is something that you feel when you’re trying to cover up something inside
But these presents that you stole
Now it’s written across your face
You will feed upon my hunger til we fall into grace
What’s her name?
Do you whisper into her ear at night, “My sweet baby girl, don’t cry, everything’s alright.”
Meanwhile she’s over by the riverside
She’s holding onto rabbit's feet praying for the missing peace of all the nights that will follow no more.
You can call this sentimental
You can call this whatever you like
But my rage now has a face when I close my eyes at night
With these presents that you stole
You know they're written all across your face
You will feed upon my hunger til you fall, fall, fall
Gimme those presents that you stole
See the pain all across my face
I will feed upon your hunger til you fall, fall.

March step by step and side to side
60,000 wide into this darkness we fight
And I've got sweet Georgia on my mind
I came here running blind, into a heart so open wide
Her beauty young and kind
I have to march all night, 60000 wide.
Like a distant lullaby, the nights are ligned with a million fireflies
Green was the valley that lived in her eyes
Covered with moss white roses ivy vines
Soiled in scarlett red like wine over century old blood lines
War is so unkind.
March step by step and side to side
60,000 wide into this darkness we fight
And I've got sweet Georgia on my mind
I came here running blind, into a heart so open wide
Ready
Aim
Fire
A million fireflies
Green was the valley that lived in her eyes
War is so unkind.
Sky is falling trees are burning down, down, down
Tide is turning love is burning down, down, down
Did you think our love could last after the fall?
Did you think our love could last after the fall?

Sunday Morning

Baby don't make me wait
This rat race is always in the way
I wanna give my love like Sunday mornings and holidays
I love you like my heart breaks
All at once
All the time
You're the first thing I wake up to
You're the last thing on my mind
It's you
With me
And all the world's inside and at our feet
Our faults
Are wings
Let's fly
And touch the open sky
Whatcha gonna do about it?
I do anything for you
Even when I'm scared
The risk of love is worth it for the home we share
You're mine tonight when the lights go out and this race is through
Win or lose.
It's you
With me
And all the world's inside and at our feet
Our faults
Are wings
Let's fly
And touch the open sky
Whatcha gonna do about it?

Let You Go

I gave you the keys to our memories
You get to keep as far as your eyes can see
Not what’s inside of me
That part’s now free
But it’s been so long
I don’t know what to do, how to think, who to be
And oh those memories
Those long days, longer nights shared between you and me
We were trying to set fire to our dreams
One of my favorite games was trying to catch your flame
But then you called her name, nothing would ever be the same
You asked me to jump
And you said the risk was worth taking
I would do anything for the love we were making
You’ve given her everything and I’m trying not to care
But this pain i’m feeling inside get me going no where
Yeah, there’s been a lot of talk around town
Seems like everybody wants to know my business
You took all I had and now I don’t need it
Cause I’m gonna let you go
There’s no way to know
If this will go fast or slow
I just know it hurts like hell
I’m gonna let you go
There’s no way to know
If I do this right or wrong
I guess only time will tell
There will be no last dance
There will be no second chance
No silent reviews of the time I made you cry
There will be no hand shake
No goodbye like on our first date
This time I’m gonna cut the red ribbon
It’s the end so I could begin

YOU COME LIKE A MEMORY
WHEN WE’RE LOST ON OUR STREET AT # 33
THE SMELL OF SWEET MAGNOLIA
IT LINGERS IN YOUR HAIR
I CAN SEE IT EVERYWHERE
YOU USED TO LIE LOW TO THE GROUND
AND PRAY NOT TO BE FOUND
I TOLD EVERY LIE I KNEW TO KEEP FROM LOSING YOU
KEEP FROM LOSING YOU
WE USED TO KEEP WATCH VERY NIGHT
JUST TO STAY SAFE FROM THE FIGHTS
BUT WHAT WE FELT INSIDE
YOU’D LIKE UP LIKE A CANDLE
BEFORE LETTING ME SEE YOUR EYES
WITH BURNING FIRE INSIDE
BUT THE BOND WAS IN OUR VEINS
AND I FELT THE SAME
OH NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY
KRISTINE I DON’T KNOW WHY
I DON’T KNOW WHY
NOW HERE WE ARE AGAIN
WITH YOU MY OLDEST FRIEND
WHERE THE BEGINNING MEETS THE END
YOUR SKIN SO PAPER THIN
WE’RE DANCING ONCE AGAIN
JUST YOU ME AND THE WIND
ASHES TO ASHES WE ALL FALL DOWN
YOU THE OCEAN, ME THE GROUND
IT'S BEEN SO HARD TO SMILE UNTIL THE RAINBOW CAME
YOU MUST’VE SENT IT MY WAY

If you’d realize the coldness inside of me
Then you’d know that I’ll never let it go
No no no
The slow end of what once was a dream
The mirror shows what you are, not what you want to be.
No no no
Yet nothing will ever feel as good as when you leave
Expect nothing so obscene as when you believe
And I’m gonna haunt you for that
The world around you that used to mean so much
When seasons change it really treats you so rough
No no no
You could have it all and it still won’t be enough
You love to need and you really love to touch
No No No
Yet nothing will ever feel as good as when you leave
Expect nothing so obscene as when you believe
And I’m gonna haunt you for that.
You can never guess what’s inside an exoskeleton
Lament the meat but save the rest all for your lies
To take all that garbage that’s inside your mind
But never forget nothing fits you like your second skin.

Hands To The Sky
05:21

Now I got you, the jig is up
I rolled up my sleeves and discovered what was hidden the whole time
Yeah you were playing like a Spider-man with me
But when I took off your mask, I discovered you were not really mine
Yeah you were playing with my who, what, where, when, why
You were trying to be everyone and everything to me
You scored 4 out of 5 in record time
While I was acting out your script, but I was really reading blind
You can call this what you want
I can sing it like a song
I can feel it roll around my mind before it slips off my tongue
But the past is in my bones and I can’t wash that off
Like mascara at the last goodbye
When I couldn’t find a tear to cry
If the past gives me my present then I don’t know why
I raise my hands to the sky to measure the distance between you and I.
Beyond the treetops the star light hits your face, and I can’t make you stay
Well you ain't no bird, no fighter plane, no Mr. Superman
I'm no damsel in distress, I just need a helping hand
You saw my cuts shine like diamonds in the light
How was I to know that was your kryptonite
Yeah you were playing with my who, what, when, where, why
You were trying to be everything I want and everything I need
Scored 4 out of 5 and half the time you were trying to convince me that you could read my mind
And you can call this what you want, I'm gonna sing it like a song
I could feel it roll around my mind before it slips off my toungue
I got some coulda shoulda woulda's wreaking havoc in my mind
Circles can't fit into squares like I can't change the time
No matter what I say or do or try
If the past gives me the present, I don't know why
I raise my hands to the sky to measure the distance between you and I.
Beyond the treetops the star light hits your face, and I can’t make you stay
But the past is in my bones and I can’t wash that off
Like mascara at the last goodbye
When I couldn’t find a tear to cry
If the past gives me my present then I don’t know why
I raise my hands to the sky to measure the distance between you and I.
Beyond the treetops the star light hits your face, and I can’t make you stay

Dear Lee
06:14

I’m so goddamn lonely
I eat by myself
I talk in the mirror, it don’t talk back
At least I have my health
I think of my dear Lee
Then I go see a movie
I cry the whole time
There’s a fine line between comedy and tragedy
I miss you Dear Lee
Send your love to me
Take away my misery
and run into my arms again, sweet Lee
And I still have them photos
I look at from time to time
Yeah those were the good times
Acting like sad clowns and drinking red wine
We look bad in these pictures
But that camera don’t lie
So I close my eyes, and we look glorious
I remember you better in my mind.
I miss you Dear Lee
Send your love to me
Take away my misery
and run into my arms again, sweet Lee
Remember that River Road
Or parking the car?
Or laughing and crying, and screaming and moaning and moaning for hours
Remember the moonlight?
Or walking on fire, or trying to reach heaven trying to get higher, and higher, and higher?
Remember this song that you’d sing to me?
I sang this song a thousand times
But the only thing I could never touch is your tone-deaf melody
Your tone deaf melody
I miss you
Send your love
Take away my misery
and run into my arms again

There must be a rainbow, somewhere
After that hurricane has ripped up apart
Left nothing but memories
Soggy houses and broken hearts
There must be a rainbow, somewhere
Close or far from the siren’s howl
Trying to save what the rain decimated
Keep people safe from harm
Power lines are down now
It will take time before they’re up again
There must be a rainbow, somewhere
In the distance there’s thunder and lightning
Mother nature are you trying to tell us something
Or are you so far gone, it’s frightening
There must be a rainbow, somewhere
It’s time to go out and see
The Hail can’t shoot it down
Neither can a bullet
Neither can we
