The mere mention of your name
Reminds me how I came
And what I left behind
My body won't allow
My heart to miss you now
I push you from my mind
And I feel like I been walking around without my feet
Like I have been released from some kind of captivity
But I don't know which way to go without you standing
In front of me
Baby I
I been hanging around you
Just a little too long
And I can't justify
How much
I been loving you
And how little I've done
To keep on living my life
To keep on living my life
Been going through this shit
You're kinda hard to quit
But I long for something else
You said I could be free
But without you it's just me
I'm running from myself
And I feel like I been walking around holding the key
But I have come to love the chains you use to bind me, babe
But I don't know which way to go without this taking
A piece of me
Baby I
I been hanging around you
Just a little too long
And I can't justify
How much
I been loving you
And how little I've done
To keep on living my life
To keep on living my life

Downtown

Keep your pennies
Keep your clothes
Keep the lies you made up to soften the blow
Take your keys
Take the rack
Take my heart but don't ever bring it back
Mattress on the floor
I'll be what I was before
We fall to pieces
Did I let you down?
Did I let you down?
We're trembling under
The weight of this town
Come pick me up on your way downtown
Downtown
Make your mark
Make your mind
Make it all seem worthless in the interest of time
No regrets
No looking back
No one ever made me want to live in the past
I flew into the sun
You're not just anyone
I'm not just anyone
We fall to pieces
Did I let you down?
Did I let you down?
We're trembling under
The weight of this town
Come pick me up on your way downtown
Downtown
We're going in circles
I guess I let you down
I guess I let you down
We're trembling under
The weight of this town
Come pick me up on your way downtown
Downtown

Lover to friends
We went from lovers to friends
What a punch in the gut
When you took away your touch
But I just couldn't let it end
Somebody new
I found somebody new
Your the leak I should bail
She's the wind in my sails
Isn't this what you told me to do
Suddenly your tides have turned
But I can't unlearn what I learned
Let's just be friends
Oh honey, get up off the floor and let's just be friends
We can live and let live
We can do it for the kids
I just can't go there again
Nothing at all
Now I feel nothing at all
You got no one to blame
Walking around with my name
You're gonna have to make the call
Suddenly your tides have turned
But I can't unlearn what I learned
It's too late (repeat)

Nobody But Us

Maybe a north wind blowing
Brought you to me
Maybe a June day showing
What's hard to see
How about an endless drive on
Up to the house
How about we talk forever
Into my mouth
Like there was nobody but us
Maybe you come by Sunday
Help with the tree
Maybe you come by Monday
And don't ever leave
Millions of tears for every
Memory made
Millions of years I knew you
And now it feels like it was just one day
And there was nobody but us
Are you near me, love?
Can you hear me, love?
Do you see me now?
I'm here on the ground
And I can't explain
When I call your name
I can hear you now
All around

Desperate

Baby's back
Children lock up your dads
Well I been gone for so long from this luck I never had
Oh, do my best
Put on my trying dress
This brand new start and naked heart are all that I got left
And oh you
Always shone like a sun shower
So you
Can't help me so save your shit
I know that I can get by just perfectly fine on my own
But I don't want to
I don't want to
And if I sound desperate, it's probably cuz I'm fucking desperate
I want someone
They way that you have someone
Hand in hand
A sight I can hardly stand
The world is choosing curtains and I'm still playing with the band
Oh, summer dies
Watching the years go by
This flash of youth is fading, taking hits and getting high
And oh you
Pick your life out from pictures
So you
Don't get to tell me jack shit
I know that I can get by just perfectly fine on my own
But I don't want to
I don't want to
And if I sound desperate, it's probably cuz I'm fucking desperate
I want someone
They way that you have someone
Nice to meet you
I am simple and worthy of your love love love
Your love love love love
And you could love me if you only got to know me
And I need love love love
I need love love love love love
I know that I can get by just perfectly fine on my own
But I don't want to
I don't want to
And if I sound desperate, it's probably cuz I'm fucking desperate
I want someone
They way that you have someone

Suicide
03:25

Where did your love go when it died
Did it commit some suicide
Is it heaven or hell on the other side
Why's my love still alive?
It's been 365 days since your text
And I still can't believe that you just up and left
Like a flame in the wind, like a ghost in the dark
The burn of the whisky goes straight to my heart
And you dared me to kiss you, you begged me to come
By the light of the fire you did not seem so young
And I don't know what held me, your tongue or your ear
But your spell made those people just all disappear
By the break of dawn
I knew I should be gone
I'm not the only one
Where did your love go when it died
Did it commit some suicide
Is it heaven or hell on the other side
Why's my love still alive?
I've never seen beauty I couldn't withstand
Like you bathing in sunlight asleep on my hand
Your hair spun of gold, and your skin made of snow
A life denied you is a death to be slow
And I know what becomes of the heart left behind
I should have known better, it's not my first time
But seduced and reduced to the whims of a child
The simplest questions are driving me wild
By the break of dawn
I knew I should be gone
I'm not the only one
Where did your love go when it died
Did it commit some suicide
Is it heaven or hell on the other side
Why's my love still alive?
Tell me where did your love go
Where is your love?
