meet me at midnight down by the river
meet me at midnight down by the river
I receive all that you deliver
you're body curves just like the river
if I could dive in the river flowing
I don't care where I'm going
oh the burden that you must carry
oh the burden that you must carry
one day soon I hope that you'll be merry
if only I could like one tributary
washing away under the tide
washing away under the tide
washing away under the tide
come up for sunrise
meet me at midnight down by the river
meet me at midnight down by the river
and when you touch me all I do is shiver
you're body curves just like the river

Molly comes home now
so let's tuck it in
hide in the pantry
she won't suspect a thing
no no no she didn't change her hairstyle
no no no she didn't smoke when I was with her all that while
she changed to feel good
Molly calls her new fling
she's probably not wondering
what I am doing in her home
no no no she didn't own a cell
no no no she never told me her life was hell while I was there
she changed to feel good
(so you think you've found a way out)
(I won't tell your soul a word)
Molly makes more promises
she knows she can't keep
I'll leave here and never return
as soon as she's asleep

I can not let you in my arms again
cause I don't feel like trying
I would rather lay half awake in bed
I can't handle this
I don't understand
why I'm out of place
you know I got your aftertaste
neither of us really understands
what about us got away
and now I am wide awake
can't let go of this
whose got control of this
and how long is the wait
I don't even know what I'm going to say
when I get to your front door
but I can't take this silence
anymore
we can get through this
un make what exists
repair our broken space

Stephanie I hate this town without ya
stephanie the street lights don't seem to bright
but not as dark as when
the lights are out and you and I are undercover
and we're all about solving that mystery
Stephanie I make mix CDs to give to you
but I lose them in my car which has some issues
still not as bad as when
there's nowhere I'd rather be
Stephanie I hate this town without ya

Ms. Closed Off
03:53
|
|||
you're closed off, undeniably true
no one seems to understand what you're going through
as if you slipped on mornings dew
and fell off the face of the earth
you might find me a fool
but baby I'll get to you
might seem impossible to do
but baby I'll get to you
I'm determined, undeniably so
no one seems to understand all through which I'll go
and that's what makes us relate
so ms. closed off I'm climbing your gate

Make You
03:58
|
|||
I can't have you right now and that is fine
follow you till clocks lose track of time
and I'm falling, and I'm falling, and I'm falling for you
as it seems I've fallen, far behind
as it is I'm the one in front leaving signs
I'm gonna make you mine
I can't have you now and it doesn't feel fine
one day I'll be crossing, the thin line you're walking

The Birthday Song
05:05
|
|||
I saw your wave form
you wore the hell out of that dress and anything that came your way
I saw your dynamic range
you went all up and down the spectrum as if you were some queen
oh happy birthday to you lady
I felt your heartbeat I knew you wouldn't judge the hand of time for doing it's job
I missed your birthday I know I'd never see you like you were again
blow out the candles
this is the first time I've really noticed
how one year can remake you completely
I hope this year does whatever you want it to
wishing you the best, blow out the candles

this Town is Quicksand
04:58
|
|||
driving around at night, feels like and advertisement for something else
can I not get this right, or will I just fall asleep and dream of you
and everything else I can not have, or control
you don't want what's right
you just want what shines the most
can I be the spark in your
your eye that twinkles oh so bright
can I be that light
I'm managing to feel half on and half off
people say I'm like a new creature but all I think about is loss
can you help me take this mask off?
can I be that spark in your
your eye that twinkles oh so bright
and thinks about what is so planned
you know this town is quicksand
and I'm sinking
I don't expect you to save me
I just prefer that you claim me

Awhile
04:55
|
|||
I saw you on some indescribable day
cause where there were details you stood in the way
something felt different as it flowed through my veins
I don't know what it was and I never will
but if our eyes cross paths I know I feel it still
to bad we've got no time to kill
don't just wave goodbye and smile
please take off your coat
and stay awhile
you run through my veins
that's just a little extreme at this time
I just let my thoughts expand till they get out of line
but when I stop to think I realize that it's just fine
I don't know if I will ever find my place
but I could spend a long time in this awkward chase
I've bought a coat rack
just in case
you don't just wave goodbye and smile
you take off your coat
and stay awhile

Junk your Head
02:28
|
|||
official news
official debt
official break up
official dead pet
official law
official fault
official start tomorrow
official never start
junk your head if it's out of love and full of lead
you can't even get out of bed
then you've gotta go and junk your head
the sirens in your head
say everything is an emergency
just get that nothings important here
and you're achieve complete ecstasy

Turf the Lawn
03:51
|
|||
if you wake up and feel good where you are
you don't have to move your car
it can stay in my back yard and turf the lawn
if you wanna lay en wrapped in sheets
all day that'd be fine by me
and if I'm in them as well
I won't mind the snow
and no one has to know
that I will
and no one has to know
that you still
if you wake up and feel a bit bad I won't make a fuss or get sad, this can stay in the back yard and bury itself
if you have to get dressed and leave
and never again talk to me
that's alright cause I was wondering if you'd like to go
you and I moved on we are not the same
our paths separated sometime back in may
you may never really listen
and I might never have anything to say
some things between us will never change

who am I?
04:22
|
|||
the TV's on, they shot someone
the media, so much fun
glorify the shooting, while the sponsors pay for the spots
rock stars die, teen stars age
critics love, what critics hate
people judge the wrath of god with two thumbs up or down
who am I?
David Byrne, Kathy Bates
Mussolini, Pearly Gates
Heaven Makes me happy but is there any good real estate
horrid wives, lucky pimps
birth control, abstinence
nothing makes any sense
and I'm here to figure out why?
who am I?
identity is everything that's a part of me
to bad I had to go and break it apart
and do it as if it's an art
you are what you eat, you are what you think
you're there when you're not, you are when you sink

the One Inside Your Head
03:58
|
|||
you are all I want to feel
my touch can not withhold itself
though you're, under the weather
over the threshold and out of my league
you are all I want to know
my dictionary bores me so oh girl
I can't deny you, no need to refine you
I haven't built you up
if you're breaking
I'm your fusion
if you're falling
I'm your cushion
you will always have a place in my to rest
you are all I want to steal
the crime of the millennium
hide you far from your regrets, far from your fears
till you can work them out
and I have doubts that I can be
the one who fulfills all your dreams lets' try
trial and error, messing it up
somehow I know it all works out
I'll be the one inside your head
driving you crazy
I'll be the one inside your head
just as you are to me

Get to You
04:02
|
|||
I don't think that I am in love with you
I just like how are eyes meet from across the room
I am in love, I am in love, I am in love
with figuring out
how to get to you
if I achieve my goal, or if I fail
I wouldn't have much left to do, you see
forgive me for playing the part
of the one who messed with your heart

That's when She Smiles
03:08
|
|||
I had this dream that you got naked at christmas time
and you wrapped yourself around my christmas tree
you looked like the most beautiful ornament
that's what you said to me
nothing feels good when it's all out of style
just when I hit rock bottom that's when she smiles
everything's not going that well, I think you know
my prayer each day ends with please reality don't swallow me whole
I've been fighting with myself to get it right all this while
just when I hit rock bottom that's when she smiles

Bump
04:45
|
|||
misplaced your number
guess I'm not meant to call
been inside for a week
haven't heard from anyone at all
I'm just searching for an inkling
think I just had a feeling
think I just had a feeling
I wanna feel the way lovers do
when I bump into you
on accident
could've spent the whole day doing nothing
but I might never know
cause I keep thinking of all the ways
I told you so, I told you so
something sparks
something moves
maybe there's a small part in you that approves
I'm just searching for an inkling
think I just had a feeling
think I just had a feeling
it will be no accident
when I bump into you
