Текст песни:

2 AM and she calls me ′cause I′m still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,
I don′t love him. Winter just wasn′t my season"
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites. You′re all here for the very same reason

′Cause you can′t jump the track, we′re like cars on a cable
And life′s like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe

May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a day" he said down to the flask in his fist,
"Ain′t been sober, since maybe October of last year."
Here in town you can tell he′s been down for a while,
But, my God, it′s so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe I′ll just sing about it.

Cause you can′t jump the track, we′re like cars on a cable,
And life′s like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe

There′s a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout ′cause you′re just as far in as you′ll ever be out
And these mistakes you′ve made, you′ll just make them again
If you only try turning around.

2 AM and I′m still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it′s no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I′m naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you′ll use them, however you want to

But you can′t jump the track, we′re like cars on a cable,
And life′s like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe.

Текст песни:

L.A. lights never shine quite as bright as in the movies
Still wanna go?
′Cause something here
In the way, in the way that we′re constantly moving
Reminds you of home

So you′re taking these pills
For to fill up your soul
And you′re drinking them down with cheap alcohol
And I′d be inclined to be yours for the taking
And part of this terrible mess that you′re making
But me, I′m the catalyst

When you say love is a simple chemical reaction
Can′t say I agree
′Cause my chemical, yeah, left me a beautiful disaster
Still love′s all I see

So I′m taking these pills for to fill up my soul
And I′m drinking them down with cheap alcohol
And you′d be inclined to be mine for the taking
And part of this terrible mess that I′m making
But you, you′re the catalyst

You′ll be the vein
You′ll be the pain
You′ll be the scar
You′ll be the road, rolling below
The wheels of a car
And all of the thoughts, on God
Don′t know if I′m strong enough now
You′ll be the vein
You′ll be the pain
You′ll be the
Catalyst

These L.A. lights, no no,
They don′t shine quite as bright as back in Frisco
Do you wanna go?
Still wanna go

Текст песни:

I′m sittin′ on a citadel
Contemplating life
Making a point to waste my time
I′m walking on clouds
Of white

What if I fall
What if I don′t
What if I never make it home
What if I bleed
What if I break
And I find that I can′t take
The city below the citadel
Holding my own hand?
Sittin′ alone

And I′m breakin′ on the balcony
Breakin′ window panes
I′m killing the pain of broken hearts
I′m walkin′ on clouds
I′m walkin′ on stars

What if I fall
What if I don′t
What if I never make it home
What if I bleed
What if I break
And I find that I can′t take
The city below the citadel
Holding my own hand?

Holdin′ on to something
That′s keepin′me from jumpin′
So afraid to go in alone
Holding up this fortress
With imaginary forces
Longing for a life down below

What if I fall
What if I don′t
What if I never make it home
What if I bleed
What if I break
And I find that I can′t take
The city below the citadel
Holding my own hand?

The city below the citadel
Holding my own hand?

The city below the citadel
Holding mine.

Текст песни:

I′ve tripped again and things are starting to get interesting
Don′t give me choices cause I can′t decide
My mind is soaked in words
I′ve come to terms with all my insecurities
And purity′s no friend of mine

And dreaming doesn′t do no good
Cause I don′t wanna lie
That I′m okay and I′m alright
I′d rather take it and forget it
Consider this a warning
Cause I′ll start another fight
And you′ll say its all alright
I′ll wait for the day when you find I′m too much for you, baby
So lay your hands over me
And feel what you only see
But don′t bother wasting your time if you′re trying to change me

You′re kinda cool but I know better than to break the rules
Of messin′ with a lesson that I′ll never learn
I′ll go from bad to worse and later back to better
But I′ll never better bridges that I′m bent to burn

And dreaming doesn′t do no good
Cause I don′t wanna lie
That I′m okay and I′m alright
I′d rather take it and forget it
Consider this a warning
Cause I′ll start another fight
And you′ll say its all alright
I′ll wait for the day when you find I′m too much for you, baby
So lay your hands over me
And feel what you only see
But don′t bother wasting your time if you′re trying to change me

This is a warning
This is a warning
This is a warning

And dreaming doesn′t do no good
Cause I don′t wanna lie
That I′m okay and I′m alright
I′d rather take it and forget it
Consider this a warning
Cause I′ll start another fight
And you′ll say its all alright
I′ll wait for the day when you find I′m too much for you, baby
So lay your hands over me
And feel what you only see
But don′t bother wasting your time if you′re trying to change me
If you′re trying to change me
If you′re trying to change me

Текст песни:

Talk about the weather
Will you miss me ever?
Lately I′m obsessed
And I need the rest
I hope that you′re impressed
She′s so pretty, I′m jealous
And she′s lost like Alice
In a painted past
In a looking glass
I see me looking back

I′ll take another Drink Me, baby
Slowly, I′ll disappear
And wear my life like a barbed wire necklace
So let′s play it truth or dare

So you′re a fan of Coltrane
I wanna be Curt Cobain
When the truth gets scary
I′ll take my gin and sherry
And some Drink Me they′ll be
Plath and Joplin with verse writing suiciders
Kennedy and Monroe come to see my rock show
I′ll be there in the front row

I′ll take another Drink Me, baby
Slowly, I′ll disappear
And wear my life like a barbed wire necklace
So let′s play truth or dare

And I won′t be around to play your games
There will come a day when you won′t know my name
And I′ll get smaller with
Every swallow you′ll
Wait tomorrow and things won′t be the same

Talk about the weather
Will you miss me ever?
Lately I′m obsessed
And I need the rest
I hope that you′re impressed
Cuz I need the rest
Yeah my head′s a mess
I need the rest
I need the rest
I need the rest

Текст песни:

Under the weight of your wings
You are a god and whatever I want you to be
And I wonder if truly you are
Nearly as beautiful as I believe

In my head
Your voice
You′ve got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another lonely night

Under the weight of your wings
Should ever we meet on your side of your stereo
I will pretend I know not of your thoughts
And even the way that they mirror my own
I′ll take you away in the way that you take me and go where I go

In my head
Your voice
You′ve got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another lonely night

Fall away to the sound of my heart to your beat
Melancholy and cool, kind of bitter sweet
Love on repeat
I′m echoing all your philosophies
And as I fall away to the sound of my heart to your beat
Melancholy and cool, kind of bitter sweet
Love on repeat
I′m echoing all your philosophies
And as I...

Oh...

I don′t
Wanna be fool-hearted
Baby, I′m out
Numbered in my head
I don′t
I don′t wanna be fool-hearted
Baby, I′m out
Numbered in my head
My head...

In my head
Your voice
You′ve got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another night

Yeah, your voice
You′ve got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another lonely night

Lonely night...

Under the weight of your wings
I make believe you are all that I′ll ever need

All that I need...

Текст песни:

Hey Mr. Love I′ve been singing and still
There′s a hole in my heart only a man can fill
But he′s had a blistered love and we′re sharing a bed
And he′s not in a state to be readily left in my hands
In my hands, in my hands, in my hands

Hey love, live it up
Cuz I′m getting closer
And I want love, give it up
This poetry and prose and words are not enough
Cuz you′re more than melody to me...I think

So morning come and I′m nervously clad
In these sheets not my own and these hands where they don′t belong
And I′m all but a victim in my prison head
I should run for my gun but I′m lying instead in your hands
In your hands, in your hands, in your hands

And you say hey love, live it up
Cuz I′m getting closer
And I want love, give it up
This poetry and prose and words are not enough
Cuz you′re more than melody to me...I think

And holding out our hands before us
All the world will love and whore us
My heart, oh Lord, is in your hands

In my hands, in your hands
In my hands in your hands
In my hands, in your hands
In my hands, in my hands, in my...
Ooohhhh, yeah

Hey Mr. Love, I′m too tired to sing but he is more than melody to me

Текст песни:

She don′t run from the sun no more
She boxed her shadow and she won
Said I can see you laugh
Through these bottle caps
And this wire around my neck ain′t
There for fun

But someday we′ll all be old
And I′ll be so damn beautiful
Meanwhile I′ll hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cause if I cant see you
Then you can′t see me
And it′ll be okay
Fly little bee away
To where theres no more rain
And I can be me

Yeah they talk about her
She smiles like shes so tough
She says
"hey can you talk a little louder,
I don′t think my heart is broken enough"

But someday we′ll all be old
And I′ll be so damn beautiful

Meanwhile I′ll hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cause if I can′t see you
Then you can′t see me
And it′ll be okay
Fly little bee away
To where theres no more rain
And I can be me

Some days I wade in the indigo
Singing that song on the radio
I blame these puddles on the rain
You know I gotta keep these cheeks dry today
Gotta keep my cheating strategy
And baby I′m gonna have it made.

But someday we′ll all be old
And I′ll be so damn beautiful

Meanwhile I′ll hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cause if I can′t see you
Then you can′t see me
And it′ll be okay
Fly little bee away
To where there′s no more rain
And I can be me

Текст песни:

Black and blue I chose my wave
I, the candid castaway
In a way delayed by one more broken season
To find reason for appeasing you and

So I found my guiding light
Lambent, flashing red and white
Through a starry night I′m better nowhere-bound
Than drowning on your solid ground

Satellite, save my life
I′m wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
A whisper on a two-way radio

Ahhhhhhh Ahhhhhhh

All in all I fare the same
Wishing on an airplane
As calling stars by name
A lonely song of freedom rings
In hope of someone listening and
So I send my feeble flare
Through the silent arctic air
Heading anywhere
Until at last I′ve finally found
A place to lay my anchor down

Satellite, save my life
I′m wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
You never know never never

Heaven help me I′m
Drowning and I can′t save me
Send some salvation
To keep me alive

Satellite, save my life
I′m wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
Satellite, save my life
I′m wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
A whisper on a two-way radio

Ahhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhh
