Run There
03:52
|
|||
|
You can work on a skimmer
The wind and the salt in your hair
You always wanted to run away somewhere
Far from the house and it's circle of light
The sea and the sky look the same in the night
You always wanted to run away somewhere
Run there
You can move to the city
And get yourself lost in the crowd
Make some new friends and don't call them again
When it gets too loud
Working for nothing and saying it's art
Searching yourself for a beating heart
You always wanted to run away somewhere
Run there
(Run as fast as you can)
Run there
Cross the border
Follow orders
Lose all track of time
Never resting
The next best thing
Walks a crooked line
Run there
(Run as fast as you can)
Run there
You always wanted to run away somewhere
Run there

I Was Metal
03:28
|

|
We built a fort out by the mill
A sound that I remember still
Clacking of the wooden swords
Chasing paper minotaurs
Summer evening - kick the can
Power chords we had a band
Playing songs you didn't know
I was metal - you were stone
Round and round the block they go
All the pretty boys you know
Uniform that made the man
Denim jacket timberlands
But you chose another way
Heavy shadow - circled A
I was neither one of those
I was metal - you were stone
I was metal - you were stone
Then you met him
The clash in the park
Your legs intertwined
On your salty skin
A kiss in the dark
But it wasn't mine
We walked the line as we were told
Regal purple - solid gold.
You were smiling on the lawn
I turned around - you were gone
Like the fort and wooden swords
All from some forgotten war
That was mine to fight alone
I was metal - you were stone

Summer's A Memory
04:17
|

Step out in your summer dress
The one that don't leave much to guess
And all the boys love it
Empty beach in the heat of day
Sand so hot they run away
But you just float above it
The ocean is wide
Its pull is so heavy
A wave like a knife
Sharper than any
That summer's a memory
The caravans all move away
You find a place above the bay
With nowhere to go
Imagine what your lover's done
Feeling warm beyond the sun
But chilled to the bone
The sky is so white
The boardwalk is empty
Day becomes night
So soon on the jetty
When summer's a memory
You still wear that summer dress
To chase away the morning mist
And banish the rain
Until the boys return again
And laughter plays across the sand
Then is lost in the waves.
The ocean is wide
Its pull is so heavy
You wait for the tide
Your castle is ready
When summer's a memory

Me and You
04:54
|
|||
|
You showed up on a morning in the fall
The newest member of the band
I held your little hand
The one you used for writing on the wall
You never got when it was time to quit
When you were last to cross the line
Bloodied all the time
Even if you never wanted it
Now you don't do what others tell you to
And no one knows that quite like me and you
From the road it’s often hard to tell
If you were really having fun
If you believed in anyone
If you ever found the room to be yourself
You find your strength no matter what you do
And no one knows that quite like me and you
You are not the girl you'll be tomorrow
Time reveals what isn't now in sight
Like the first light of the morning makes a liar of the night
In a world of misdirection you're the north that's always true
And no one knows that quite like me and you
You played so pretty even all alone
And if they couldn't tell
They can go to hell
It's easy from the sidelines to throw stones
You're the only one you owe it to
And no one knows that quite like me and you
The years will melt together all our memories
Good or bad at least we sang in time
In my ears your laughter is as sweet as whey you cry
You're the one who takes it hardest just like I taught you to
And no one knows that quite like me and you

Last Bad Decision
03:07
|
|||
|
We’re gonna go out
We should’a stayed in
See if trouble’s gonna follow us home again
You said turn left
We turned right
I’m so good at taking your bad advice
If we hurry we still got time for the last bad decision of the night
We bought two bottles when one would do
Now there’s one for me and there’s one for you
They got .38s gotta get me one
Tonight every man’s gonna need a gun
If we hurry we still got time for the last bad decision of the night
Bought two bottles - should’a got three
If you’re done drinking leave the rest for me
Your friends are gone - they left ya all alone.
No problem honey I can drive you home.
If we hurry we still got time for the last bad decision of the night

Prospect Street
03:40

Is she really walking down the street and I'm alone again
Is she gonna take another chance - make a go again
She's talking about another plan
She's talking about another man
On her way home
Is she really walking down the street and I'm lost again
Is she really gonna do the math - count the cost again
She's talking about another start
She's talking about her broken heart
Driving her home
Where she knows
All of the people their ways and their means
of ignoring their love in the days in between
As they're plotting their lives and constructing their plans
From their myriad lies that are built on the sands
That are shifting and drifting
They're waiting for signs of their prodigal daughter
How did she survive
Another man - another time
Another man is driving her home
Is she really walking down the street in retreat again
Is she really gonna play that song on repeat again
She's talking about another rhyme
She's practicing another line
Driving her home
back where she knows
Chorus repeats
Another man - another time
(Driving her home)
Another man - another time
(Driving her home)

A Hill To Die On
03:22
|
|||
|
The men who named these streets
The men who named this town
Left behind a hill
A hill to die on
A map we made complete
We lived between the lines
Measured in the dark
That the years provide
Climbing higher and higher
Up a hill to die on
Climbing higher and higher
Up a hill to die on
We always smile and wave
Satisfied we're neighborly
But when we see the signs
Will we look the other way
Climbing higher and higher
Up a hill to die on
Climbing higher and higher
Up a hill to die on
Now we're digging up the front yards
Marching through one nation under guard
Many hands could tear that hill down
Tear it down
Climbing higher and higher
Up a hill to die on
Can we tear it down
(Up a hill to die on)
Can we tear it down

Don't Let It End
03:31
|
|||
|
I heard that you would suffer for your art
The leafy streets ain't really living hard
All you learned were kitchen table songs
You sang about anything
That was everything
But what you really want
The Delaware is dark and cold as ice
A mirror for a million city lights
On the stage where anything is true
You could be someone
You could be no one
So which one are you
Don't let it end
You'll have your day
Don't give it up so easy
(Don't let it end)
Or walk away
From a life that's short on crazy
(Don't let it end)
It's so much easier to let the path grow in
But don't you ever let it end
Anyone would want to have it all
It's only called a fallback if you fall
By the way, the bills don't pay themselves
When you’re getting nowhere
It's the same everywhere
Dreams are tough to sell
Don't let it end
You’ll write your part, if you give yourself the pages
(Don't let it end)
You’ll know your heart, when you see it in their faces
(Don't let it end)
It's so much easier to put away the pen
But don't you ever let it end
Don't let it end
(Know your heart / See it in their faces)
Don't let it end
(Have your day / Don't give it up so easy)
It's the same everywhere
Dreams are tough to sell
But don't you ever let it end

Wrote Your Name
04:24

A wedding on a hill
All the heartfelt wishes filling up the pages
A golden hour sun
You were standing still - adding up the evening
Another lonely person
One plus one
Funny how it goes
Half a year of magic
We were on that hill - a brand new start
You opened up my life like a book that needed reading
You scribbled love inside
Wrote your name on my heart
Wrote your name
Wrote your name
Wrote your name on my heart
Living our best life
Moved into the city
Acted out the movies
Played your part of the faithful wife
Who counted up the money
A bonnie to my clyde
I wrote your name on my heart
What do you say when I'm away and thoughts of me are embers
Kindle the flames - forging my name or you will not remember me and you
A wedding on a hill
All the heartfelt wishes filling up the pages we can't start
All these strangers will tear apart our story
They don't understand
I wrote your name on my heart
Wrote your name on my heart
