Altitude
03:31
|

|
Streetlights are going out all over town
And I might know why
My feet are picking up off the ground
The way I recognize
My hometown flickering underneath my shoes
All the height in the world
And I’m sick from the altitude
And I’ll be floating for the whole damn night
I’ll be floating for the whole damn night
Something’s in the corner of my eye
But I couldn’t turn my head an inch
To save my life
They left their cars running right on the road
With the keys inside
The same Twilight Zone episode
I’ve got it memorized
The view from twenty-thousand feet
Is looking bleak
And my hometown’s black and white
Like the mountain peaks
And I’ll be floating for the whole damn night
I’ll be floating for the whole damn night
Something’s in the corner of my eye
But I couldn’t turn my head an inch
To save my life
When I fall
I don’t remember anything at all
But something’s in the corner of my eye
Staring all the time
There no matter what I try
Don’t look down, don’t look down
(I know you wanted, you wanted, you wanted to)
Don’t look down, don’t look down
I know you wanted, I know you wanted to
Don’t look down, don’t look down
(I know you wanted, you wanted, you wanted to)
Don’t look down, don’t look down
(I know you wanted, you wanted, you wanted to)
It goes away, it goes away
If you want, if you want, if you want it to
But you smile, and you stay
Cause you wanted, you wanted, you wanted
Streetlights are going out all over town
And I don’t know why
My feet are picking up off the ground
And I’ll be floating for the whole damn night
I’ll be floating for the whole damn night
Something’s in the corner of my eye
But I couldn’t turn my head an inch
To save my life
When I fall
I don’t remember anything at all
But something’s in the corner of my eye
Staring all the time
There no matter what I try

Lazy
03:29
|

If I sit by the river
Maybe the answer will come to me in a vision
So I’ll close my eyes on the train
And daydream a new life by myself in Berlin
And if I knew, if I knew
That everything I did would matter so fast
I would do it all the same
Cause I’ll never grow up, but I’m losing my hair
And it doesn’t matter if I’m going nowhere
If I stand this way maybe I can make myself look thinner
If we call quit the game, everyone’ll feel like a winner
And I’m holding your hand even though it’s going ice cold
Cause I’m lazy and I know
What happens if I let it go
And if I wait by the river
Maybe it’s sound will numb my aching nerves like a drug
Cause I’ll never grow up, but I’m losing all my hair
Repeating to myself that this time I’ve run out of air
And if I knew, if I knew
That everything I did would matter so fast
Maybe I’d’ve pushed up on the glass
Cause I’m losing but mind
But I don’t t think I care
My river flows, but it’s going nowhere
If I stand this way maybe I can make myself look thinner
If we call quit the game, everyone’ll feel like a winner
And I’m holding your hand even though it’s going ice cold
Cause I’m lazy and I know
What happens if I let it go
If I stand up straight maybe I can make myself feel better
If I don’t move today, I can just blame it on the weather
Cause you’re holding my hand even though I wanna let go
Cause I’m lazy and I know where my river really flows

Hearts Lose
03:26
|

|
This driveway runs for
Miles and miles
And no-one can find your door
With the windows closed
The walls always feel warm
Cause safe inside
You’re on fire
Let me feel it one last time
I don’t know where
Where it all went
But it doesn’t matter
It doesn’t matter
And we’d stay inside all night
Without saying a word
We’d play a stupid game
Where heads win
And hearts lose
Now I’m driving home
And the sad part’s coming
And everything else is a blur
Everything else is a blur to me now
I’m driving home
And the sad part’s coming
Everything else is a blur
Now everything else is a blur
I don’t know where
Where it all went
But it doesn’t matter
It doesn’t matter
You’re in sharp focus
And everything else is a blur
Everything else kinda hurts
You’re in sharp focus
And everything else is a blur
Everything else kinda hurts
But I keep coming back for more
You’re in sharp focus
And everything else is a blur
Everything else kinda hurts
But I keep coming back for more
You’re in sharp focus
And everything else is a blur
Everything else kinda hurts
Cause everything else isn’t her

Magic
04:13

I can’t even look
So don’t look at me
As I fall into focus
Was that even me?
Can you hear the ringing?
All you wanted
Was a taste of magic
But you forgot
What happens when you have it
I can’t help but stare
At myself over there
Tearing apart my old bedroom
Do I even care?
Can you hear the ringing?
I don’t know where it’s
Where it’s coming from
But it’s hurting my head
Yeah it’s hurting my head
Yeah it’s hurting my head
All you wanted
Was a taste of magic
But you forgot
What happens when you have it
All you wanted
Was a taste of magic
But you forgot
The way it makes you get sick
How many hands
Hung out the window
Of a stranger’s car
Torn apart
How long can you go
With the ringing sound
Getting loud in your head?
Yeah it’s hurting your head
And it’s all in your head
Yeah it’s all in your head
Yeah it’s all in your head
Yeah it’s all in your head
Yeah it’s all in your head
Yeah it’s all in your head
Yeah it’s all in your head
Yeah it’s all in your
All you wanted
Was a taste of magic
But you forgot
What happens when you have it
All you wanted
Was a taste of magic
But you forgot
The way it makes you get sick
Now
It’s all in your head
Yeah it’s all in your head
Yeah it’s all in your head
Yeah it’s all in your head
Yeah it’s all in your
Yeah it’s all in your head
Yeah it’s all in your head
Yeah it’s all in your head
Yeah it’s all in your head

Everglades
04:30
|

|
Don’t trick my heart
With your empty desires
I got so little time
Always under the wire
Even daydreams
Have become a routine
Well I never thought
I could’ve felt so seen
How could words so sweet
Ever sound so mean?
Now I’m a side note
In an old magazine
I don’t want
To spend all of my time
Thinking ‘bout you
Thinking ‘bout the Everglades
The beautiful mistakes we’d make
Forget what’s real
Chasin’ the way it used to feel
Like middle school holidays
Nothing good ever stays
Don’t hurt my heart
From over there on your bed
I got so little sleep
And now you’re inside my head
And my daydreams
They’re here to stay
I never thought I’d
Still be playing this scene
Rephrasing my lines
Through a time machine
I’m an old silent film
On an empty screen
I don’t want
To spend all of my time
Thinking ‘bout you
Thinking ‘bout the Everglades
The beautiful mistakes we’d make
Forget what’s real
Chasin’ the way it used to feel
Like middle school holidays
Nothing good ever stays
You shoulda said something
Cause now we’ve got nothing
Now we’ve got nothing
Chasin’ the say it used feel
Like middle school holidays
Nothing good ever stays
We kick and scream
Till it’s all back how it used to be
Like middle school holidays
I wanna hide inside of yesterday

Like I Love You
01:54

If a meteorite hit Earth tonight
Well that’d be okay
If we were all lost in an age of ice
That’d be just fine
If I dozed off
And drove across the double lines
I think somehow I’d be alright
‘Cause I know you
Don’t wanna love me
Like I love you
‘Cause I know you
Don’t wanna love me
Like I love you
If my heart didn’t ache with every beat
Well that’d be so nice
I could smile as I fall asleep
To dream a lonely paradise
Two perfect halves
Don’t always end up whole
So I drive the icy road on cruise control
'Cause I know you
Don’t wanna love me
Like I love you
‘Cause I know you
Can’t love me
Like I love you

How I Fell
04:26
|

|
I don’t wanna tell you how I fell
Cause then you’re gonna think it’s your fault
But I’m scattered all over the room
Hanging in the air like aerosol
If I peel back my body
To show you my bones
Would it make you believe me?
My heart cleansed with cheap alcohol
‘Cause I think I know it somehow
Somehow deep down
A supernatural motion
Is pushin’ me around
I think I worked it all out
But there’s no-one to blame
What I’m sayin’s up until now
You’ve had no skin in our game
What I’m sayin’s up until now
You’ve had no skin in our game
I don’t wanna tell you how I fell
One foot at a time
Into a bedroom like quicksand
Pillows up to my waistline
So if I peel back my body
Would you hold onto your stones?
And would it make you believe me?
Or do I climb out alone?
‘Cause I think I know it somehow
Somehow deep down
A supernatural motion
Is pushin’ me around
I think I worked it all out
But there’s no-one to blame
What I’m sayin’s up until now
You’ve had no skin in our game
What I’m sayin’s up until now
I’ve hid your skin from our game
I don’t wanna tell you how I fell
Cause then you’re gonna think it’s your fault
But I’m scattered all over the room
Hanging in the air like aerosol

For Keeps
04:17
|
|||
|
Don’t waste all your minutes in the sun
With your head resting on it’s pillows
What were you thinking?
What are you thinking today?
I don’t even know if I could stand
If I felt your heart
As you do
Paper melts under your pen
Still trying to write an end
No amount of common sense
Can turn fear into your friend
But you’re not one to talk
And it’s so hard to see
If your head is playing for keeps
I don’t even know where I would start
If I fought so hard
Trapped every night
In the back of my eyes
Glarin’ at the future
You’re goin’ through hell
All ghost and no shell
And all your fears are singing together now
All your fears are singing together now
But you’re not one to change
The same dream stuck on repeat
God I hope you’re playing for keeps
What’s it matter anyway
If you’re held by the throat until you stay?
Stuck in the back of your eyes
Spinning clockwise
Cut all your ties
What does it matter anyway?
What’s it matter anyway
If every second feels the same?
Cut all your ties
Throw out the dice
Claw out your eyes
What does it matter anyway?
All ghost and no shell
Spinning ‘round in your prison cell
Your fears are singing
Louder now
You’re so damn used to the fucking sound
But you’re playin’ for keeps
You’re playin for keeps
You’ll never sleep
While your half-heart beats
You’re playin for keeps
You’re playin for keeps
Accepting defeat
You’re playin for keeps
You’re playin for keeps

I'll Drive
03:27
|

|
Well don’t walk home
I’ll drive
Put down your phone
I wanna see your eyes
Fill the car
Up with words
But what you’re thinkin’
You’d never say
I wanted to
I wanted to love you
I wanted to
But everything got in the way
I wanted to
Build a world out of you
I wanted to
But nothing I love ever stays
Well don’t walk home
It’s almost midnight
I can tell you’re angry
But I don’t wanna fight
We can drive in silence
In a highway trance
And dream our separate plans
In advance
I wanted to
I wanted to love you
I wanted to
But everything got in the way
I wanted to
Build a world out of you
I wanted to
But nothing I love ever stays
If you walk home
That’s alright
Don’t pick up your phone
Crystallize
You’d grow up fast
On your own highway
But what you’re thinkin’
You’ll never say
I’m holding my head
In my hands
Thinkin’ where the hell did I go wrong?
I’m holding my head
In my hands
Thinkin’ where the hell did I go wrong?
Watchin’ my world
Turn into sand
Like it had been planning along
I’m holding my head
‘Till it shakes
‘Till I can change
Or ‘till it breaks
‘Cause I want it to

Down With A Fight
04:20
|
|||
|
All the nights you were up until five
Watchin’ your whole world in black and white
You’re goin’ down, down, down all the time
You’re goin’ down with a fight
All the times you were too polite
Pullin’ a face ‘till it hurt you to smile
Took you in from the wild
A flower child in broad daylight
You’ll go down with a fight
You’ll go down with a fight
Keep you up every night
‘Till you go out of your mind
You’ll go down with a fight
You’ll go down with a fight
You’ll go down with a fight
‘Till you’re all out of time
‘Till you’re down to the wire
And you think it was right
All the nights that you picked up the phone
When I thought I was up alone
And now it’s all I know
It’s all I know
I’d have to burn off every touch
Torch my memories and bury the dust
Loathe over lust
Or learn how to give up
You’ll go down with a fight
You’ll go down with a fight
Keep you up every night
‘Till you go out of your mind
You’ll go down with a fight
You’ll go down with a fight
You’ll go down with a fight
‘Till you’re all out of time
‘Till you’re down to the wire
And you think it was right
It has to be right
The sensation’s lost
A thickening semigloss
It’s out of my control
Sharply doubled-crossed
Stamped gold and embossed
Everyone’s gone cold
All the stories that held me up
Stare at my hands
And play with the dust
Gold plate on top of rust
All the times you were too polite
Holding a face ‘till it hurt you to smile
Now I know your style
And a lie means a fight
The sensation’s lost
A thickening semigloss
It’s out of my control
Sharply doubled-crossed
Stamped gold and embossed
Everyone’s gone cold

Next Year's Light
03:17
|

|
Gotta feeling I won’t have enough time
Locking my eyes
Into next year’s light
Heard every word
But never saw the signs
Now everything I believe Is takin’ me for a ride
And I hope
For something I won’t ever have
A love without a road
One that stays right on the tracks
Whoa
But a change is coming
Yeah a change is coming
Yeah a change is coming
I can feel a change is coming
Yeah a change is coming
And I can’t hide from it
Stare at the ceiling
Until I see the sky
And fill up my eyes
With next year’s light
Somehow this silence
Shouldn’t be so quiet
While everything believe
Fades away before my eyes
‘Cause a change is coming
Yeah a change is coming
Yeah a change is coming
I can feel a change is coming
Yeah a change is coming
And I can’t hide from it
‘Cause a change is coming
Yeah a change is coming
Yeah a change is coming
I can feel a change is coming
Yeah a change is coming
And I can’t hide from it
Gotta feeling I won’t have enough time
Locking my eyes into next year’s light
But this moment
Is a different kind of bright
A camera flash
Never lasts
But I’ve got it all in black and white
Whoa
But a change is coming
Yeah a change is coming
Yeah a change is coming
I can feel a change is coming
Yeah a change is coming
And I can’t hide from it
‘Cause a change is coming
Yeah a change is coming
Yeah a change is coming
I can feel a change is coming
Yeah a change is coming
And I can’t hide from it
