Fix Our Mistakes
03:26

I hopped on the first train to Memphis
Showed up at your door
I asked about old worn out feelings
If you had anymore
But time won't wait
for us both to learn how
to fix our mistakes.
And after years pass
it will seem obvious
when looking back.
I drove up an Illinois highway
to prove that I cared.
You left for Kentucky the next day
And no one was aware.
So "wait for me" I shout.
It's better to feel the sting than to be left out.
But I'll be around
if you ever find yourself back in this town.
I stayed up all night with the dishes
and you slept through it all.
Even when you had what you wished for
you decided to run.
But time won't wait
for us both to learn how
to fix our mistakes.
And after years pass
it will seem obvious
when looking back.

Lion in the Grass

I bet you didn't think that you'd be left alone
with nowhere to lay your weary head.
But in a den of liars you have made your home.
There's vipers at the foot of your bed.
You can say one thing
but actions show what you really believe.
Now I'm left with just one thought in my mind.
I shoulda seen it coming this time.
I have no excuse on my side.
I'll keep cherishing what love I can find
cuz ever since you left from my life
the clouds won't keep away the sunshine.
I wonder if you knew that I had reached the end.
My patience had expired at last.
From this position how can you defend?
You've unleashed a lion in the grass.
You might play your part.
Your actions show me who you really are.
Now I'm left with just one thought in my mind.
I shoulda seen it coming this time.
I have no excuse on my side.
I'll keep cherishing what love I can find
cuz ever since you left from my life
the clouds won't keep away the sunshine.
You have all the time left, you can make a change.
You don't have to always be this cruel.
Or do you like feeling so unloved and ashamed?
You act the victim, I play the fool.
You say what you want.
Your actions reveal what you're made of.
Now I'm left with just one thought in my mind.
I shoulda seen it coming this time.
I have no excuse on my side.
I'll keep cherishing what love I can find
cuz ever since you left from my life
the clouds won't keep away the sunshine.

Winter

My hands are always chapped in winter.
They look older than they are.
They're all dry and cracked and blistered
falling apart.
So I rub them down with chapstick
as soon as I can see it start.
And I keep some moisturizer in the car.
The cold it always seems to linger
longer than the year before.
And it blows right through the crack under the door.
So I don't take off my slippers.
I put my space heater on high.
But the chill it still surrounds me on all sides.
Why did you destroy what we'd built up so far?
Baby, how'd the winter's cold get in your heart?
Yesterday I found a gray hair
on the left side of my head.
I cut it off and then collapsed upon the bed.
Two weeks ago I hid in the bathroom
doubled over on the floor.
Wept until I had forgotten what for.
When all the more each day our bodies fall apart
why would you let all this death within your heart?
Within your heart
Within your heart
Within your heart
Within your heart
I drove all day back home from South Bend
thinking "what could be the cause?
Was it parental or some childhood loss?"
I can't figure out the answer.
My stern reasoning won't help.
There's just some people only care about themselves.
Well I don't think that you were like this from the start.
So baby, how'd this evil shit get your heart?

Why the Sudden Change?
02:21

Oh why the sudden change?
Oh what has motivated?
Bumped into your mother just the other day.
She said you're doin fine.
Then you asked if we could take a different way to work.
I guess that's alright.
But when I see you Monday I don't ask you where you've been.
I don't inquire 'bout your odd new way to dress or your new friends
but for a while now
something's been different.
I can tell.
Oh my vision's gettin' black.
Oh this feeling that I've tried so hard to run away from's coming back.
Had a conversation just the other day
about your broken ways.
I dispensed a fumbling remark or two
of wisdom gained with age.
But growing up is really not that hard. Listen to me.
You just learn to fucking tell the truth. There's nothing else you need.
And all those bad dreams
and bad feelings wash away.

Take You Home
03:57

There's an aching
when I'm alone.
Or more like anxiety when I don't know where to go.
So I list everything
that there is to do
but when the day's over I haven't crossed out but a few.
I'll leave you alone
if that's what you want from me
but I would rather be taking you home.
I've been talkin
talkin to you
and you're weaving some sort of deception that I can't see through.
So I've been thinking
and searching for the truth.
But it's a long way before evidence constitutes proof.
I'll leave you alone
if that's what you want from me
I'll sit back silently waiting for you
to light up my phone
and carry on pointlessly
when I would rather be taking you
I guess your signals
were misunderstood.
But if you would let me talk straight with you baby I would.
I'll leave you alone
if that's what you want from me
I'll sit back silently waiting for you
to light up my phone
and carry on pointlessly
when I would rather be taking you home.
