Lazy Nights 04:01
So nice of you to stop by but I'm afraid I've learned to love those lazy nights I'm wrapped up in bed claiming to have a sore head Cuz I've seen over the line Cuz I've seen what's left that's mine your face is big and bright but i can tell by second sight It's gonna turn around the sun a few more times then slow its run before another trip is done wake up my love what have you become? a broken wheel? a good dog? Who needs to be number one? It must be nice to go try but I'm afraid I've learned to love those lazy nights I'm gonna turn around the sun a few more times then slow my run and then another trip is done

Paint me gold ship me off i'll find the line in time, so gracefully in time, no apology Paint me gold show me ropes tie my hands behind my back a while and I'll sing your praise Lost souls will follow my shadow but a good man can help chase the sun up and down the hours Paint me gold just a once over I can't recall a time I shone bright alone, till the moment by the edge peering out beyond the edge Paint me gold, silver tongue...ruby lips on white speak my name only if you've stopped to look inside lost souls will follow my shadow but a good man can help chase the sun up and down the hours

Had a Laugh 04:10
I thought, my my, it's getting late but the sun gave a nod, reached out her golden arms and picked me to show me light, can last a little longer with an open mind and i could near recall the fruits of spring wasted when the time was not a thing that you'd hold near shaking in your hands to break free hold dear better chain yourself to bed till next year then you'll find yourself...and maybe fall I had a laugh, the first in weeks my head felt like a summer breeze, and i pushed the pedal to the floor and sped away in a figure eight and damn it felt so good to burn do you feel those fleeting palpitations? wake up buying your ticket at the station? starry-eyed and chasing no particular tomorrow? Nothing that you'd hold near shaking in your hands to break free hold dear better chain yourself to bed till next year then you'll find yourself, and maybe fall

Hatteras 03:08
Oh, breaking sea, how you remind me that all is fine with peace of mind we all just have to crash sometimes Oh thunderclap, you've a bad rap we all just want our babes to sleep and ignore the songs the gods sing My love, my drugs, my beating heart all take root in dust from stars so I should wish for stronger arms time and time and time again i put blinders to the wind and ignore the chance to spread my wings

Ponyboy 05:57
Calm 'fore the ever-approaching storm's sure slipping over my head I need a good rest breezes are blocked out by windows so I still get heated by the sunset Do I feel your eyes upon me? Though i cast aside that dreaming? For wont of growth for childish reasons, I could not wait for turning seasons Wide awake, counting reasons to slip away, but i fear the nights too long without a chance to sing another song clear as day, love will fall like silver rain, on the heads of those with faith throw up their hands and sing another song Lovers led me through shadows, maybe that's what I needed got good at catching demons fathers of other peoples' children said I got what I had coming time and time again But a true man has bled out from both hands in one a gun the other soup cans neither one for sitting idle i'll take one more night, then off and I'll go Wide awake, counting reasons to slip away, but i fear the nights too long without a chance to sing another song clear as day, love will fall like silver rain, on the heads of those with faith throw up their hands and sing another song

The Swan 02:49
I am glad you are just another shooting star up in my skies laughing like the world revolves around just the things you see with your eyes I would guess you see the morning light and don't think twice to curse the fleeting night But you wasted time, collecting dreams skimming surfaces so clean sitting naked at the beach waiting for love from the tide What have you done to me?! Oh no! Oh Lord! What have I come to fall for?! The swan, of course! Her eyes drive me wild, big blue moons, I'm on trial! AHHH! Jäger in the morning's got the magic touch to give the sunrise spice The fire in my belly's all but out since I last heard your voice I sure miss our Tuesday morning fights I once took one right between the eyes But it was wasted time, i'd lie awake with my body turned away and my eyes on empty space perusing dreams, skimming surfaces so clean sitting naked at the beach waiting for love from the tide What have you done to me?! Oh no! Oh Lord! What have I come to fall for?! The war, of course! There's no once else around who could put me in the ground! AHHHH!!!!!!!!

Who's knocking? I see a pair of old blue jeans and I smell a little bit of drifting weed and I hear a guitar... Who's talking? Why are you telling me to jerk the wheel? Is this how those lonely twenties feel? I believe it so far... I remember dancing fury in the rain I remember the touch of the morning sun the light that it laid when I stopped and sang it a song Please don't assume you've got an answer tried and true for all the lonely people out here with me I won't put up a fight as I hurdle towards the light But I might as well kick back and dig the sights pretend to know why I'm getting high Who's walking? His feet hurt but I bet his head feels swell Smells like shit, but he wears it well skinny Buddhah he ain't Please don't assume you've got an answer tried and true for all the lonely people out here with me You dig my broken heart, while you tear me all apart It's cute that you've got it, got it going on so leave me be there's nothing wrong You'll never see me make a fuss! You'll never see me run for the bus! You'll never see me cry over losing a pile of dust!

50,000 MPH 04:21
I'll drive down to Austin, in my broke-down imagination no MasterCard, could by me up my dreams I've got bright horizons down here, floating in the desert striking matches when it gets to dark to see I'll wake to see your eyes on the sides of rolling hills so i'll bring my bag of pills and kiss the rain I'll take the songs I'm given now, and sing 'em to the end without a coda to cling on to, just to fade I know, you're here, awake I can see you all curled in a ball I'll return when I learn my place If you see a stranger scrawling senseless on an envelope and staring out for hours at the street he could still be seventeen with years spent courting dopamine so life would seem as good as on TV you don't have to smile, you can turn and toss your change but don't pretend you've seen beyond a shade

If all these words, were a moving picture if all this dirt was gold if the hounds of hell were removed from scripture would i fear getting old? No, no, no, there's still that brow-beating blow from the harbor, in my eyes I don't recall brighter days I don't remember, what she said to me but it shined brighter than our first and last gold rays After all, they all shine the same. If the some of all my biggest blunders equaled what I learned there might be something worth believing as bad as I've been burned my, my, my I've got no reason to cry just a shoulder chipped and tied I don't recall better days I don't remember, what she said to me but it shined brighter than our first and last gold rays After all, they all shine the same.

Going Great 03:18
I don't need your smile I don't need your hands I don't need your lashes on my neck I don't need your coat I don't need your walls I don't need to be stayin' 'round at all but it's all that I know it's all I've to show I will open up I will search the stars I will overcome my fear of bars half a decade gone I'll turn back to the Lord I'll pray whenever I feel I've done good it's all that I know it's all i've to show Watercolored rose blowin' in the wind frozen still in time, my biggest fear but it's in the sun sleeping when he wants touching what he loves till all goes dim I don't need a bed I don't need a beat I don't need no sand under my feet but I want I'm inclined to all the moments I rewind to clawing through the day, it's always you I can kiss the wind or lay with the Earth but only feel a heartbeat when my hands are in the dirt they're worked to the bone but I don't mind anymore

So strange, it feels like autumn when I watch the heat rise from the street and it feels just like this afternoon we set off clad with bare feet smiles painted broadly like we wanted all to see and point their hands at mirrors of the kids they used to be and no one could put on a show like I got reelin' in my mind pictured against roadsides and slipping into true tales when I hit rewind One more exit till I cash in all my free will and somehow that's okay sometimes that shit gets in the way I got a wanderer in my headspace and I can see one in yours too when we start to see the billboards of the city we'd assumed would burn down in our absence or change colors to match the mood of anyone who's seen the light and came running back to soon and no one could put down a man with a good heart of fool's gold you can find them on roadsides and listen to the beating of their hearts in odd time One more exit till I cash in all my free will and somehow that's okay sometimes that shit gets in the way and I've got it locked down, but I don't know what I'm even aiming for and somehow that's okay sometimes that shit gets in the way
