Cowardly Lion 03:46
lyrics
buy track
Now I’m getting mixed up in my thoughts and in my dreams Was it New Year’s 2015 that we drank flutes of champagne And painted red our voices and covered up our screams There are things that I remember, and things that I forget Things that make me happy and things that make me sad Like the sinking of my heart when you uttered your regret I think I heard you saying that you hate confessional songs You no longer loved that record; it’s no longer who you are There are times that I feel silly, there are times that I feel brave Now is just a time for feeling sad I’m happy to be feeling like I’m a different man, I hope you take the time to understand There are different kinds of people, There are different kinds of loves, Mine is just kind you leave alone?

Something Told Me I was Wrong 04:07
lyrics
buy track
Is that the way that you talk When you’re in love with someone else The way you’re wrinkling your nose And then you cast away your laugh Something told me I was wrong To walk away and then turn back And every moment that I held you Is still an aching in my veins When we drove through the mountains With my finger deep inside I tried to tell you that I loved you But it just shattered in my throat, I felt I was lying Something told me I was wrong To sit and talk to you again To try again to win you back When you had given up yourself And I can’t help myself but think of you all the time And the lonesome thoughts still fly when I land at ORD Something told me I was wrong To walk away and then turn back And every moment that I held you Is still an aching in my veins

Beasts 03:09
lyrics

We’re all body and soul Till we become, Whatever comes next I don’t like to imagine What you will become I know you love A man who is gone He was floating away the summer we met I don’t like how I feel When I am with you Oh I am a beast who’ll come back again and again All my kindness My love is blindness

Song for Emmie 04:04
lyrics

You are so lovely, Are so lovely, Yes you are You taste of sunshine Kissed by daisies In the month of June I want, always want to be held by you Your smile Is so radiant It makes me swoon You You’re telling me stories They make me love you more I want, always want to be next to you Gold leaves and discarded things I talk to you like I talk to my old friends But I don’t know what I’m up against Dirty dishes in my kitchenette We walk around in the streets of my new town Painted postcards in the village pub

All Roads 06:16
lyrics
buy track
All your roads, All your roads are just highways All your roads, All your roads are just highways All your roads, All your roads are just highways Maybe I’m the wrong woman for you Maybe you should choose whatever you wanna choose Put it in a note Leave me all alone Maybe I was born to sing the world the blues Take another chance that maybe I’m a fighter Take your time again cause maybe I’ll be waiting Put it in a song Leave me all alone I don’t wanna waste my time again But maybe I am more than good enough for you Don’t deserve the the bulk of what you put me through Get it off, get it off, now get it off my chest Lifting all the weight from off my back

Five Night Stand 02:53
lyrics

Go ahead and let your eyes light up You know you gonna do it anyway You always said I should know You were never gonna stay I can’t help it if I feel too much I always feel you’re gonna be the one Who’s gonna stick around know what I am all about It don’t matter much to you But know that I always hope That this thing will turn to be More than just a fling

The Very Last Blue Bird 03:44
lyrics

Up this road The old wooden house Where I saw you kill The very last blue bird I wanted to hear you sing The very last flower of spring I heard them say Her song will die out in time I miss your voice Makes me feel empty inside I drove the highway Up to Chicago Passing through New York I’m missing you I’m missing you I’ll always miss you

The Falconer 06:43
lyrics
buy track
I read in the news today that some people got shot I was listening to that song I like about Denison and Morrisey It was poking a hole in my logical views It made stop to think about the way things are, and how they ought to be Oh, oh, that’s why people say The world’s slipping away That’s what people say It’s all falling apart Oh, oh, that’s why people say Oh, oh, that’s what people say ‘bout the world today There’s blood on our hands Life is moving now at an elliptical pace Voices on the radio Yeah they reek of lies, colored black and white I hope we’ll all be alright More than we are today I hope we’ll all be okay In a meaningful way I don’t wanna live in a world where we hate each other as much as we do

Song for Frida 01:54
lyrics

One day when I'm not broke, I'll buy you a diamond ring And we'll celebrate our love until death comes Some day when I'm not sad, I'll tell you everything, And we'll laugh and cry all night until daylight I will wave my handkerchief at you I will wish you and Djuna farewell too One day when I meet a girl, I will play for her your songs, And we'll celebrate your voice through morning time One day when I'm feeling strong, I'll hold you in my arms, And we'll celebrate our love until death comes Yes, we'll celebrate our love until death comes I will celebrate your love until death comes
