Against The Tide
03:36
|
|||
they don't tell you
how it feels when it all starts to unwind
no ports to sail to
when you're packing up your things that one last time
heaven knows I know it's over
and when it comes, you know
I'll fall and rise against the tide
but I'm dying inside
so why'd you try
to make things so
hard on me this time?
and what I lack
is no reason
to tear apart my life
we're going down
as the tide rolls in
and when it comes
you know
I'll fall and rise
fall and rise
against the tide
but I'm dying inside
so why'd you try
to make things so
hard on me this time?
and there's no time
to be feeling
like it's all so unkind
heaven knows you know it's over
when it comes you know
I'll fall and rise
fall and rise
fall and rise
against the tide
but I'm dying inside
and why should I
be forgiving when you've been so unkind?

Black Cloud
02:49
|
|||
black cloud hanging over me now
and it keeps on rolling where I'm going
there's no cure for this misery now
but it always finds me
where I'm hiding
rolling down all the streets of my town
there's nowhere to run when it comes around
cold wind blowing through me again
and it keeps on rolling where I'm going
there's no cure for the state that I'm in
but it always finds me
where I'm hiding
knocks me down sends me face down on the ground
it's always the same
when it comes around
you took it from my window
now it's gone, yes it's gone
pulled me from the wreckage I was on
took it from my window
now it's gone, yes it's gone
hoping it's not coming back for long
rolling down all the streets of my town
there's nowhere to run when it comes around
black cloud hanging over me now
there's a black cloud hanging over me now
black cloud hanging over me now
black cloud hanging over me now

Under My Skin
03:56
|
|||
there's a light in my window pane
blending with the scenery
staring through my open blinds
now it's got it's on me
peering through my window sill
staring at the scenery
but you know it's only done
when you say that's all I need
and I said that's all I need
you keep getting under my skin
you keep getting under my skin
feeling like I got no time
always slips away from me
I always try to cut it fine
and I guess that's why I bleed
here it is, I know it's wrong
but now I guess I'm coming clean
everyday's another song
and I guess that's why I sing
yeah I guess that's why I sing
you keep getting under my skin
you keep getting under my skin
you keep getting under my, under my
you keep getting under my, under my
you keep getting under my, under my
you keep getting under my
here it is, I know it's wrong
but now I guess I'm coming clean
everyday's another song
and I guess that's why I sing
you keep getting under my skin
you keep getting under my skin
you keep getting under my skin
you keep getting under my skin

Pay No Mind
03:18
|
|||
all the time
just walking in a line
I never fell behind
all our days
beneath the golden rays
you never saw the light
and you deceive to do as you believe
and said that's just my right
so cross my name off every list you made
I know it ends tonight
this time I got nothing to lose
I'm not wasting my time on you
I'm not sure why you pay no mind to me
I'm not sure why you pay no mind to me
all the nights
I tried ot be polite
and let you have your way
all the slights beneath the burning lights
I watched it melt away
and you returned
no lessons ever learned
just silence in its place
so cross my name off every list you made
and leave without a trace
this time I've got nothing to lose
I'm not wasting more time on you
I'm not sure why you pay no mind to me
I'm not sure why you pay no mind
to me, to me
to me, to me
this time I got nothing to lose
I'm not wasting more time on you
I'm not sure why you pay no mind to me
I'm not sure why you pay no mind
to me, to me
to me, to me

Emily Strange
02:35
|
|||
they call her Emily Strange
But that's not her name
Flying high in the big sky over their heads
The birds in the trees
Riding high on the breeze
Wonders when they will be migrating
She ponders on all things
That she sees through hazel eyes
It's giving Emily wings
and she flies
They say that Emily's strange
Or slightly deranged
Never bothered to really know her at all
It's just like the world
Losing sight of a girl
That they're not really understanding
She reads her books all day
And the pages come alive
It's always Emily's way
And her world
So goodnight Emily Strange
Time to call it a day
Til tomorrow we'll do it all over again
The moon's coming out
And the sun's going down
It's time for a new beginning
Emily Strange

Hurry Up And Wait
04:34
|
|||
crawling slowly down 95
we're getting nowhere most of the time
there's red lights flashing in lanes to my right
I see them coming, but it's alright
Just passing through
And we're all passing too
Crawling down the innerstate
Falling back into place
AM stations
we're scanning the dial
it's all just static and highway miles
there's blue car stalling in lanes to my right
tailights fading, and it's alright
start moving soon
we'll be moving too
crawling down the innerstate
Falling back into place
It's OK - we gotta hurry up and wait
It's OK - we gotta hurry up and wait
Getting nowhere for most of our lives
Time moves slowly til it passes by
Then some random Tuesday it all falls apart
It breaks the silence, it breaks your heart
Just passing through, and we'll be passing too
crawling down the innerstate
Falling back into place
It's OK - we gotta hurry up and wait
It's OK - we gotta hurry up and wait
It's OK - we gotta hurry up and wait
It's OK - we gotta hurry up and wait

Local Scene
03:25
|
|||
they came cross town
up through the underground
when it all just had begun
it's come to an end
now that money's changing hands
there's no room for everyone
had to find out
to believe it
we're all learning how to swim upstream
when they can't give
any reason
you're too local for the local scene
too local for the local scene
there's a lock
on the door
that wasn't there before
it's all who you know, my friend
yeah they changed all the rules
and they're turning all the screws
to keep you out any way they can
had to find out
to believe it
we're all learning how to swim upstream
when they can't give
any reason
you're too local for the local scene
had to find out
to believe it
we're all learning how to swim upstream
when they can't give
any reason
you're too local for the local scene
too local for the local scene
had to find out
to believe it
we're all learning how to swim upstream
when they can't give
any reason
you're too local for the local scene
had to find out
to believe it
we're all learning how to swim upstream
when they can't give
any reason
you're too local for the local scene
too local for the local scene
too local for the local scene
too local for the local scene
too local for the local scene

Let It Burn
03:53
|
|||
never knew we faded
to a place so jaded
but I guess we have arrived
everything that mattered
was left broke and shattered
all the pieces left behind
now I've been set free
walking outside on my own
and it's clear to see
with open eyes, open wide
now my heart's still beating
and it's worth repeating
we're still finding out in time
everyday I'm learning
every page I'm turning
see you somehwere down the line
now I've been set free
walking outside on my own
from the sound and sea
it's Friday night, Friday night
all those things retrieved
piled up here on the lawn
gonna watch it burn
gonna let it burn
gonna watch it burn
gonna let it burn
how did something magic
ever turn so tragic
I guess we're finding out in time
now I've been set free
walking outside on my own
from the sound and sea
it's Friday night, Friday night
all those things retrieved
piled up here on the lawn
gonna watch it burn
gonna let it burn
gonna watch it burn
gonna let it burn
now this portrait's fading
colors bleached and graying
so much I can't recognize
now the fire's burning
and the page is turning
guess I'll see you down the line
now I've been set free
walking outside on my own
from the sound and sea
it's Friday night, Friday night
all those things retrieved
piled up here on the lawn
gonna watch it burn
gonna let it burn
gonna watch it burn
gonna let it burn

Parts Unknown
02:45
|
|||
when there's nowhere left to hide
I still wanna run
when the light breaks through the sky
I'm already gone
anywhere I roam
traveling to parts unknown
anywhere I go
traveling to parts unknown
there's a place inside my mind
that's calling to me
every road that I must drive
it's still outta reach
anywhere I go
traveling to parts unknown
anywhere I roam
traveling to parts unknown
anywhere I roam
traveling to parts unknown
anywhere I go
traveling to parts unknown
anywhere I roam
traveling to parts unknown
anywhere I go

Sweet Carolina Blue
03:56

Oh, sweet Carolina blue
Oh, how do I get to you?
From our hometown
We drove on down
Cross state lines
We drove
Oh, sweet Carolina blue
Oh, how do I get to you?
On our way
Through wind and rain
til I can't see the road
Oh - moving the country as those hills roll by
Oh - watch the sunlight breaking through those cloudy skies
Oh - she's sitting in the backseat, under wind blown hair
I like the tilt the review just to watch her
There, sweet Carolina blue
Oh, how do I get to you?
Town to town,
We rolled on down
On our way back home
Oh - staring out the window, watch the world go by
Oh - looking through the windshield up at crystal skies
Oh - she's sitting in the backseat, under wind blown hair
I like to tilt the rearview just to watch her there
Oh, sweet Carolina blue
Oh, how do I get to you?
We rolled in round 3 AM
10 more hours to go
Oh - sitting in the front seat watching clouds go by
Still a few more hours til the Georgia line
She's sitting in the backseat, under wind blown hair
I like the tilt the review just to watch her
There, sweet Carolina blue
Oh, how do I get to you?
Oh, sweet Carolina blue
Oh, sweet Carolina blue
