The Story Of Us 04:16
lyrics
buy track
Day by day seasons change in the story of us Sad lonely broken people together Well I'll speak for myself I've been trying to get to a place Where our lives will meld While you do what you can on your own Never asking for help Saying I don't provide what you need While our lives go to hell And you dream of a man with career, confidence, and wealth Run baby run baby run baby run Run to your river of dreams Run baby run Run baby run Run to your river of dreams Your dreams So you drink and you think you're not ready for this or maybe The truth is that simply you are not happy with me And the path we've been walking together seems too limiting And laying beside me at night's not where you want to sleep, no Maybe someday you'll realize that love is truly the only way anybody ever gets free I mean that honestly Run baby run..... You're always looking around In the heart of downtown For handstands and toasts to your health From strangers, and past loves, and friends Who won't be there in the end So run baby run As you trip to the magical water swim, try not to drown Just remember when it's time to get out that I won't be found anywhere around Because I can't be second or third unless I'm someone else And I can't deny or love less I can just be myself I never thought you'd be the one to make my heart go black But I'm telling the world in a song I was wrong about that So wrong about that Run baby run....

Hearts get harmed in the fight I knew you once in a dream The years, we lost to the drinking The love, we pledged by the sea There was something that we both really wanted When we were young enough to believe Before we understood that the truth was We were never gonna have those babies Sadness hits like a tropical storm It's easy to dwell on the harm we've done But you see You'll be fine And I'll be fine Just don't get sentimental on me True love doesn't leave in the night It takes a lot of neglect to recede We were broke, co-dependant, and thirsty Drinking thinking that we were free There was something and we both know we lost it But when it happened is much harder to see Before you go let me tell you the truth is There's something that's not right inside me Sadness hits like a tropical storm It's easy to dwell on the harm we've done But you see You'll be fine And I'll be fine Just don't get sentimental on me

In The Dark 03:18
lyrics

God it's been a pretty long time How did it all come to this (remember you) Walking down these city streets And the sweet taste of your kiss Our hearts were broken and we needed to move on Now my nights are drunken and I'm Never sure what I've done In the morning In the sunshine I'm in the dark Well you're still so pretty baby I saw your picture just the other day (can't help but) Think about you often Then forget you as fast as I can Why did you choose him? Oh yeah, that was all my fault Sure I've got my freedom now It's like being locked inside of a vault By the door With no key In the dark I don't want that much at all I don't need someone to love I just want a girl to touch Darlin' since we called the party off Part of me's been hollow and numb (every) Door in this city hides a pretty girl But I've forgotten how to love 'em You broke me baby Filled me up and spilled me out I wish I never knew ya Maybe I could be living now Instead of wandering and drinking In the dark God I spent a pretty long time in the dark

No Resurrection 03:19
lyrics

Don't look at those letters on the paper baby Don't read my name Don't let it hit your heart Because it hurt me enough for the both of us Don't let yourself feel the pain We both know when I let go And I'm talking about the first time The grim reaper passed like a snake in the grass between us And even though it's been so slow Now everything is about to unwind I never thought it would feel so much like dying Don't think about it just sign and walk away Don't dwell on the shame Don't let it fan the flame in your heart Because it's time to let everything die It's okay don't be afraid We both know once you let go Even though the past was sublime The death rattle will sound in the direction it will lead us And in the afterglow of all we've been through There will never be another time I can't believe how much this feels like dying I spent my days with you Drinking 'til I killed us I never meant to hurt you when we died There are miles of road we will never know And I can't say that it'll be fine Because there's no way to fix what's broken between us And if you want to know how the love could go Honey I think the fault was all mine But there's no resurrection so keep crying There's no resurrection we stopped trying There's no resurrection it's why I'm dying

Losing Her 05:13

A lot of days I sit at home and cry A lot of days I've been staying in bed Everywhere I go reminds me of her Bill Callahan singing "it's time to put God away" I know it's time to stop worshipping her To stop wanting her To stop missing her To stop thinking about her But I can't change my dreams at night So every morning I wake up with her on my mind Then it all starts again I'm so sad I'm despondent I'm so sad about losing her I'm so sad I'm despondent I'm so sad about losing her There are moments when I become paralyzed Thoughts of her can keep me from speaking Dream of her breath in my ear and I cry But everybody reminds me that I'm better off without her God she was cruel a lot of the time But when she was kind Oh when she'd smile When she called me honey My soul would surrender to her My heart and body were hers to use as she wanted I just wanted to be near her forever I'm so sad I'm despondent I'm so sad about losing her I'm so sad I'm despondent I'm so sad about losing her
