Highway

Out on a highway nearly breaking down
These prairie winds they send me home
And I remember the last time that I drove this stretch
But it never felt so alone
Always going somewhere seeing someone
I was always coming home back to you
And I remember the last time that you said you loved me
Well I know now that these words were untrue
And I'll watch you take the high road
It passes over my heart
And I\m dying here under the bridge
All these memories now scars
These memories now scars
The last time I did this you still loved me
The last time I drove home you were still there
The last time I called you there was answer
The last time I broke down you still cared
And the last time I drove this road
I was coming back to you
Prairie winds never felt so cold
When I was coming home to you
When I was coming home to you
Ooh Ooh
Getting myself back now that I'm getting over you
Ooh Ooh
Making my way home now that I'm getting over you

The Rules
04:58

|
You've got the strangest way about you
You got a beautiful soul
And I feel the strangest way about you
Even though you'll probably swallow me whole
And you built a wall out of coloured candy
The kind you get from Japan
You built a wall so now I wanna break it down
Wishing that I was your man
Darling you make me wanna break the rules
When I'm staring at your face
Darling you make me wanna break the rules
Even though you'll probably put me in my place
You grew up in a suburb of London
Wearing chains and platform shoes
And when I'm staring in your hazel eyes baby girl
I forget everything I have to lose
And you built a wall out of baggy hoodies
It was stronger than mine
And you built a wall so now breaking it down
Is how spending all of my time
And darling you make me wanna break the rules
When I'm starring at your face
And darling you make me wanna break the rules
Without doing a god damned thing

Rock Show
03:53
|

|
We first met at a rock show
between sets you were having a smoke
laughed at your friend as you took a drag
The cherry glow lit up your face
And I, Ithink I can love you
Do you, think you can love me too
That night that we got together
One day one song one moment bleeding into forever
We first met and I didn't know
That emotions are hard so you'd rather joke
Or the way that you hate it to hear your friends brag
Or that you'd rather die than get caught in the rat race
And I, Ithink I can love you
Do you, think you can love me too
That night that we got together
One day one song one moment bleeding into forever

If You Stay
03:01

I won't hurt you
If you stay
I promise to love you better
If you stay
I won't ever hit you again
I mean like ever again
Things will be better my dear
If you stay
And is this love or just the pain that I deserve?
It makes me feel like shit but it brings me back to earth
And I won't call the cops
If you leave
And I won't have to block your number
If you stop calling me
I thought that this could be better
But this can't be healthy
I thought that I'd be over it but it still gets to me
And is this love or just the pain that I deserve?
It makes me feel like shit but it brings me back to earth
And is this love
And is this love
And is this love
Is this love
This can't be love

Delicate
04:40
|

I'll wash the sins off of me
Shield your sweet eyes cause you're delicate
When you stand right next to me
We're brisk little lovers so delicate
This love is delicate
It's so delicate to me
This love is delicate
It's so delicate you see
It's delicate to me
The little dance you do while you're undressing
Reveals a body so delicate
Before we both get too far ahead of ourselves
Let's take a step back we're both delicate
And I'll take you anywhere
Wherever you wanted to go
And I know you're scared
But your heart's beating so slowly
This love is delicate
It's so delicate you see
Our love is delicate
It's so delicate you see
It's delicate to me

Next to You
04:36
|

|
I'll be here in the morning if you stay
That way I can kiss you tomorrow
We should go for breakfast at my favourite little spot
I like you a lot, I like you a lot
And I'll love you forever if you wait
We can watch the birds fly south and back another day
And I won't get tired of staring at your face
As long as you stay true of heart I'll never fall from grace
Time keeps passing me by
As the weather gets warmer and there's wrinkles in our eyes
And if you stay here with me
I'll love you forever
And I could used to coming home
As long as you stay loving me wherever I may roam
At times I know I'll drive you mad
As long as you can hang with me there's loving to be had
And at times I know I'll drive you wild
Something I did that rubbed you wrong I was acting like a child
You're the magnetic pull that's holding up my world
Like a current needing grounding yeah you know I need my girl
Time keeps passing me by
As our bodies fade away oh there's still beauty in our eyes
If you stay here with me
Then I'll never leave
And I wanna wake up next to you
And I wanna sleep right next to you
And you you know that it's true
That I wanna spend my life with you
I wanna spend my life with you

Over It
03:52
|
|||
|
I pray that my morning half cigarrette is enough to get me through
Driving to work without thinking of you
And then driving my car in to a ditch
Because I can't stomach
The way that you left me
Now now
Left me
Now now
And right now I should be over it
Like all over it
Could start forgetting about you
And I'm wishing that I was over it
Like all over it
And I could start forgetting about you
I'm lying that it's over cause it never really started
I was on that plane but it never departed
I guess that I'm just tired of knowing that I was lied to
You can't flip the blame on me and say I never tried to
But you loved me
Now now
You said you loved me
Now now
And right now I should be over it
Like all over it
And I could start forgetting about you
And I'm wishing that I was over it
Like all over it
And I could start forgetting about you

Bicycle Thief
02:50
|

|
There's a dog on the street near the bicycle thief
A busker who smokes, steel toes on his feet
This place is strong with the love of a family
And you are okay
You are oh so okay
You are okay
You are oh so okay
The street lights don't care if you're getting laid
The creditor can wait 'til the day that you get paid
And when you talk to god they'll turn to you and say
You are okay
You are oh so okay
You are okay
You are oh so okay

The Wanting
04:29
|

|
in moments she became the heart of my many fixations
a long night didn't shorten as I learned she was taken
and I imagined our whole lives just transfixed on her picture
and all that I have left for me is this screen and its flicker
when he breaks your heart can I buy you a new one
maybe not a heart but some coffee or wine
it'd sure be shame if he met another girl and he fucker her
and you're not a man's property but I'm wishing you were mine
and I'm thankful for the wanting cause it's hope that gets me through
a spinning wheel in my head of a future me and you
and I know that I tell myself that it's better not to find out
but that's a lie I use from time to time just to give myself some room
just to give myself some room because
when he breaks your heart can I buy you a new one
maybe not a heart but some coffee or wine
it'd sure be a shame if he ran away with another girl
and I know that it's pitiful but I'm waiting here in line
yes I'm waiting here in line
and when he breaks your heart
and when he breaks your heart
and when he breaks your heart
and when he breaks your heart

Memories
04:42

Do you remember getting stoned?
Behind the house that I was living in then
We made love until the morning came
That's the way that I remember you best
Never really was my thing before I met you
Take these memories so I can keep the rest
Never got to say goodbye
We never talked so I couldn't learn the reason why
And all of these memories
Make me think the best of you
All of these memories
Hope that you still have them too
Do you remember Red Rocks?
Uber driver nearly killed us on the way
He's got kids to feed
So I tipped him well and gave him five stars anyway
Never been there before I met you
So your thought is tangled in my memory
Well someone call a sheriff and a lawyer
Bring the troops to come evict you from my head
And all of these memories
Make me think the best of you
All of these memories
Hope that you still have them too
All of these memories

Anymore
04:28

She used to be the sun that set out his childhood window
He used to be the one that she made swear he'd never go
As times went on his eyes would fade and lose their charming glow
As times went on her heart became unsure
Saying I don't think I love you anymore
Saying I don't think I love you anymore
And though he kept his promise well his heart began to roam
Towards his dreams and down an open road
When he'd come back from where he'd been
Her stares were growing cold there love was put away and growing mold
Momma I don't think she loves me anymore
Momma I don't think she loves me anymore
So he sits and thinks and he smokes and drinks just starin' at the floor
Feeling stupid useless drunk and poor
The door opens to an empty hall
And her memory permeates these walls
And as time went on he became unsure
Jesus I don't think I love me anymore
Jesus I don't think I love me anymore
Sleeps and walks and he grieves and talks
And packed her crap into an empty box and he slowly
Stopped going to the liquour store
And with his friends about the town he realized that he's better now
And that hardship is a gift of learning too
Well he had to learn to love himself some more
He had to learn to love himself more
And momma I don't think she loves me anymore
Well she told me she don't love me anymore
And he had to learn to love himself some more
He had to learn to let it all go
