Closer Then
01:53
|

Turn these lights out
And shut me down
I've stopped holding
On to you now
And it won't get closer then
At the time it seemed that anything could go
You've stopped talking
I'm leaving soon
You're still staying
Down in my room
And it won't get closer then
At the time it seemed that anything could go for you
Look at us both in the mirror
Without me you're much clearer
And I won't get closer then
At the time it seemed that anything could go
Anything could go for you

Porcelain
02:24
|

You’re like a porcelain doll
It seems your face is blue
Your face is blue
You stopped breathing now
Your words: I “did this to you”
I “did this to you”
This mess is in my
This mess is in my hands
This mess is in my
This mess is in my hands
So I'll burn this time with you
This ain't my home
You’re not my home
I’ve stopped breathing now I'm blue
You're not my home
You're not my home
This mess is in my
This mess is in my hands
This mess is in my
This mess is in my hands
And the message on the phone says you won't call again
And the message in my mind says you're not here
And I can't stand to see another day
This mess is in my
This mess is in my hands
This mess is in my
This mess is in my hands
And I can't stand to see you any more
Wish you'd walk out the door
And leave

Severed Strings
02:00
|
|||
These hollow bones can't hold me up now
You would take it all if you could
Now wouldn't you
Heighten gravity until I fail
Hold me down and I'll disconnect
I'm gone
With these severed strings
Stretching miles behind
But I can't let go of you
And the wind burns on my skin here
And it waters my eyes, this velocity
'Til I can't tell which way is up
Lost the bearing to navigate
I'm gone
With these severed strings
Stretching miles behind
But I can't let go of you
I fall back to the ground it seems
Fall back to the ground
I've got the strength
But I can't make it work
I fall back to the ground it seems
Fall back to the ground
I've got the strength
But I can't make it work
I can't make it work

Up To Zero
02:17
|
|||
Every time I get close to you
We talk and then you have to go
Guess I'll see you in the summertime
When I won't lose my mind
We can catch up on old times
Old friends I never cared to know
And it doesn't matter anyway
You're leaving in a day
And it adds up to zero
Adds up to zero
Adds up to zero again
Adds up to zero again
You were talking with your eyes closed
Smiling like you knew just what to do
We were driving in the blue car
Down the country roads
Miles away from your school
We were talking like we had all day
We never watched the minute hand go around
And it's my fault
You're gone again
All adds up to zero
Adds back up to zero again
All adds up to zero again
And I don't know why I'll see you
Only ends in memories
God only knows why I need you
Guess I didn't want to lose sight
All adds up to zero
Adds back up to zero again
All adds up to zero again

Temperature Drop
01:49
|

It may seem
That I won’t adhere to this
But the times I've tried
Always seemed to be so hit or miss
She's the one with the hourglass in her hand
I'm the one with the second hand wrapped around my neck
Feel my temperature drop
With every thought for her
But these tired lungs
Haven't had a thing to breathe today
To say these things
She's the one with the hourglass in her hand
I'm the one with the second hand wrapped around my neck
Feel my temperature drop
I'm asleep
And I can dream, here, anything
And I don't feel alone
When she comes to wake me up
If my conscious ain’t got a clue
Then my conscience isn't being used
She saves up all her time
Wrapped in her fingers while it slips through mine
She's the one with the hourglass in her hand
I'm the one with the second hand wrapped around my neck
Feel my temperature
Drop

Doubleback
01:43
|
|||
Would it seem low
If I didn't want to see you
I stood in the freezing rain
And watched you drive (away)
Is it any wonder
Does it really matter
Would you blame me
Could you even bother
Watched ‘til you were out of sight
Then I turned and you doubled back
If I gave you what you gave me
You'd be standing holding nothing
You'd be standing holding nothing
If I gave you what you gave me
You'd be standing holding nothing
Is it any wonder
Does it really matter
Does it really now

What I Set Out To Do
03:05
|
|||
As it stands
She's never going to hang around again
Wish I could see her
Every time I do
It just gets worse
Wish I had told her
Every time I tried
I’d get tied up
Now I'm out of time
And not in the frame of mind
Wish I could do
What I set out to do
Wish I didn't hold my hand out
I can't be alone
As it stands
She caught me going back and forth again
I tried to keep my mouth shut
Ended up no use
As it stands
She's never going to see my face again
I'm tied to
I'm tied to her
I'm tied to her
And I wish I could do
What I set out to do
Wish I didn't hold my hand out
I can't be alone
Do
What I set out to do
Wish I didn't hold my hand out
I can't be alone

I'll Repay You
01:37
|
|||
It’s happened more than once
And I know
It's gonna come through now
It's like I thought so many times before
Didn't say a word 'til now
As long as I can see what's going on
I can get to thinking
You’re coming back again
These last few days with the television on
Waiting for the phone to ring
I got myself to thinking I was wrong
I’ll never be right again
As long as you can tell me where I belong
I can get to thinking
You’re coming back again
Give me the price and
I'll repay you
Or you can give me the place
And I'll meet you
I'll meet you
As long as you can tell me where I belong
I can get to thinking
You’re coming back again
Coming back again
