In The Water

In the water, in the water
I’ll never drown
In the fire, in the fire
You put me out
At the party, at the party
You show me ‘round
If you tell me, if you tell me
I’ll never doubt
Won’t you tell me how?
Won’t you tell me?
(I know you)
I know that you
You don’t have to
(I love you)
You don’t have to, no
But you help me out
In the temple, in the temple
I kneel and bow
And If only our younger selves could see us now
If we’re put here for a purpose
That I don’t know about
Then I’ll laugh about later
Right now I don’t know how
No I’m not sure how
Won’t you help me?
(I know you)
I know that you
You don’t have to
(I love you)
You don’t have to, no
But you help me out
Well I want to rig the table
So we never lose
And I often go and buy things
That I’ll never use
But I’m learning not to suffer
Or to pity fools
And that you got to be wise
To know when to break the rules
I don’t break the rules
But you help me
(I know you)
I know that you
You don’t have to
(I love you)
You don’t have to, don’t have to, no
(I know you)
I know that you, I know that you, I know that you
You don’t have to, you don’t have to, you don’t have to, you
(I love you)
But you help me out

Bitter
03:48
|

It's not that giving in
Is easy or hard
This is a vacuum we're living in
Where you just have to let go 'cause
I, I know
The bitter taste of falling down
Oh, oh I, I know
Just what it takes to turn around
It's not a measure of sacrifice
We all need someone to blame
But would it be so unnatural
If we could live without pain
Why do we have to wait so long?
Why do we have to wait so long?
I’m quite aware the road is long
Well, you don't have to explain 'cause
I, I know
The bitter taste of falling down
Oh, oh I, I know
Just what it takes to turn around
Tongue tied, misconstrued
Even in the lie
There’s an element of truth
It's been a hard year for you
But don't think life don't hurt me, too
Please don't say you don't know how
Not everything you read is set in stone
That's why I much prefer to be alone
And in the morning I don’t want to wake
'Cause you give advice you’re not prepared to take
And it's such a shame
Why do we have to wait so long?
Why does it have to take so long?
I’m quite aware the road is longs
I've even given up
When living ain’t enough
You help me fill my cup
When living ain’t enough
You help me fill my cup
I, I know
Oh, oh I, I know the bitter taste of falling down

Don't Believe
03:50
|
|||
|
Come as simple as the sun
And as steady as a breath
Let the evening come undone
And the thoughtful take a rest
And if you don’t, believe me
If you don’t, believe me
If you don’t, believe me
Lord I know it don’t come easy
And if you don’t, believe me
If you don’t, believe me
If you don’t, please believe me
Lord I know it don’t come easy
Turn away from the crowd
And the weight on your chest
(How does it tell?)
Play a song that’s too loud
And reminds you the best
(How does it tell?)
We’re all inherently alone
But I bet you feel it coming home
And notice when you’re on your own
You’ve always known
And if you don’t, believe me
If you don’t, believe me
If you don’t, believe me
Lord I know it don’t come easy
And if you don’t, believe me
If you don’t, believe me
If you don’t, please believe me
Lord I know it don’t come easy
I suppose you’ve always known
We are inherently alone
Now the gut is never wrong
And the stomach’s never strong
And there’s no choice it takes a hold
But there are perks to getting old
Please do exactly what you’re told
Don’t get bold
And if you don’t, believe me
If you don’t, believe me
If you don’t, believe me
Lord I know it don’t come easy
And if you don’t, believe me
If you don’t, believe me
If you don’t, please believe me
Lord I know it don’t come easy
There is no choice it takes a hold
So, do exactly what you’re told

I Would
04:26
|
|||
|
I was quite the non-believer so I knew you were
Never meant to be all mine and no one else’s
You’d already sussed it out and so you knew we weren’t
Ever in control
I just never thought that I could be so helpless
But you know I would
Honey yeah, you know I would
For you, you know I would
Young philosophers and poets they will charm your day
And warm your nights
But they won’t save your life
Like you know I would
Yeah, you know I would
They won’t let you be in ways you know I would
All the others went and bought their cars
And built their houses
But I think we make far better dancers
And they pay no mind to their interjections
And careless questions
Still you always give such thoughtful answers
Like you know I would
Yeah, you know I would
They don’t unusually see the things you know I would
And you know I would
Well, you know I would
I’ll take good with the worst just like you know I would
Sticks and stones will break my bones
But your words simply destroy me
But I’ll have to just rebuild myself
Like you know I would
Yeah, you know I would
Like you know I would
Yeah, you know I would
They won’t do the things for you I would

I'm Done Waiting
03:16
|

|
No, I’m not proud of myself
I hope it makes a difference
You’re not convincing when you say
That nothing’s wrong
I’ve never known a sadder face
I want to see a difference
I wish that could I guarantee
It won’t happen again
Is it beginning or an end?
Can you tell the difference?
Let’s take a midnight drive
To the the ocean side
No one told me, I wasn’t ready
I only mourn the dead, so I…
I’m done waiting
I’ve waited for more
I know I seem impatient
Knocking down your door
I know you want to talk but
We’ve been through this before
I’ll always want your love
But I don’t need it anymore
I’m trying my best
You don’t seem to be impressed
Are you some kind of drug?
Or sent to me from above?
I wouldn’t know the difference
I’m done waiting
I’ve waited for more
I know I seem impatient
Knocking down your door
I know you want to talk but
We’ve been through this before
I’ll always want your love
But I don’t need it anymore

It Goes On
03:32

And I’m finding
When we leave it alone
That it takes a toll
And I’m finding
When we leave it alone
That it takes a toll
What you see ain’t what you get
So it’s bad for my health
When you describe me just as I see myself
Call it an infatuation or just blind faith
Don’t ask ‘cause I don’t really care
(And I’m finding)
Even though I’m uptight
(When we leave it)
I’ll be dangerous tonight
(That it takes a toll)
I like to over-analyze
(And I’m finding)
Let me hold you ‘til daylight
(When we leave it)
Even though I’m baptized
(When we leave it)
I’m prepared to never be right
(That it takes a toll)
If we create a new style
(And I’m finding)
It will mean we can never be wrong
And it goes on
Yeah, it goes on
And it goes on
Yeah, it goes on
And I’m finding
When we leave it
That it takes a toll
And I’m finding…
Every day you’re by my side
I’ll give it right back to you
It seems all the others lied
I’ll tell the truth to you
Every time it drives me wild
(And I’m finding)
I won’t let it get to you
(That it takes a toll)
I’m feeling like I’m still a child
(And I’m finding)
But I see what we’re building is strong
And it goes on
Yeah, it goes on
And it goes on
And it goes on
It goes on
Yeah, it goes on
Yeah, it goes on
Yeah, it goes on
And I’m finding
When we leave it alone
Yeah, I’m finding
That it takes a toll
Yeah, I’m finding
When we leave it alone
Yeah, I’m finding
That it takes a toll

Heaven Knows
04:00
|

Well I’m probably getting far too sentimental
You know how I get
So I promise I won’t put this on the pile of things that
That I will regret
Heaven knows I don’t mind
‘Cause the devil knows when you care
Heaven knows I don’t mind
‘Cause the devil knows when you care
I remember last time we caught up
Well it left me a wreck
Well you asked if I’ll be there for you when you’re dying
I want nothing less
I don’t have an idea of where the hell I’ll be
So I’ll let this feeling wash over me
Now I wonder if you still think it’s odd that I
Meditate on death
Heaven knows I don’t mind
‘Cause the devil knows when you care
Heaven knows I don’t mind
‘Cause the devil knows when you care
Heaven knows I don’t mind
‘Cause the devil knows when you care
Heaven knows I don’t mind
‘Cause the devil knows when you care

I Was Often
02:40
|
|||
|
Wanted to say I never felt more alone
Wanted to call you just this once
Wanted to tell you
I don’t know the things you want
I don’t know how to give them any more
I guess I was caught out
Heaven knows the way I feel
Heaven knows the way I feel
Needless to say I
Looked at all the things I’ve done for you
And all the ways I went about it wrong
Leave your light on
Leave your light on
Even when I’ve done something wrong
Leave your light on
Please leave your light on
Even when I’ve done something wrong
I’m absolutely miserable without you in my life
Heaven knows
I wanted to see you

In A Mood
04:04
|
|||
|
Don’t feel the need to take it out of context
It’s not complicated just a little complex
The storm is unaware of houses it wrecks
I don’t need to tell you about cause and effect
My cool is not a virtue I always keep
I have to stop myself from sinking too deep
My shirt’s expensive, why do I feel so cheap?
What I need now is just a really good sleep
I got no reason to pretend
That you fell in love with everything
I didn’t mean to be so rude
Well you caught me in a mood
Yeah, you caught me in a mood
Well, you caught me in a mood
Yeah, you caught me in a mood
(It’s you)
You know it’s you
(I’m telling the truth)
I’m constantly loving you
(It’s time)
It’s time you knew
(You know the truth)
I’m constantly loving you
I got no reason to pretend
That you’re in love with everything
You love a can-do attitude
But you caught me in a mood
I know it’s not a good defense
But I’ve been feeling pretty tense
Still, I didn’t mean to be so rude
When you caught me in a mood
When you caught me in a mood

I've Been Thinking
04:30
|

|
I was floating on the surface
I was pulled into the depth
I was dreaming of a purpose
But I still haven’t found it yet
No, no, no
I’ll probably never see the summits
Or the surface of the moon
But no one really knows what love is
You make me certain that I do
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh yeah, oh
I don’t deserve it
Neither do you
I’m feeling nervous
I want to figure it out with you
I’ve been thinking about you love
How it’s all or none
I’ve been thinking about your love
I can’t get enough of it
I’ve been thinking about you love
How it’s all or none
I’ve been thinking about your love
I can’t get enough of it
I’ve been thinking about you love
How it’s all or none
I’ve been thinking about your love
I can’t get enough of it
I’ve been thinking about you love
How it’s all or none
I’ve been thinking about your love
