- Nests
Oh mama, she broke my head
It's been four years and it does not end
Oh mama I lost my mind
but you must've heard that a dozen times
yeah, you must've heard that a dozen times,
today, today, today
On the way to my hotel
- Alright
I know the West was won this way
But God forgive the heartless way we let
It all burn down
I know, I know you're off on tour
Godspeed my love
I'll not be bored with all
The mess here, now
I’ll allow
- Beekeeper
Believe me,
Believe me, this loneliness won't go away
Hear me,
Oh, woman that has gone astray
Gone astray
Your friends,
Your friends will always just be in your way
- Charon
And It seems as though
I'm on my own
And time transcends, oh!
And it seems I speak
like waters leak
And I'm losing friends, oh!
- Corpse Roads
And I'm so damn scared,
Of dying without you,
But I've come prepared
Resolved for my life to wear a funeral suit.
And don't lie, don't lie
Don't lie I know we're fixing to die
- Damn, I love you
I'm sorry,
Can't make your party
I'll be busy burning
And I'm afraid
I'd kill your lover
While your back was turned
- Flesh And Bone
I am alone, so don't speak
I find war, and I find peace
I find no heat, no love in me
And I am low and unwell
This is love, this is hell
This sweet plague that follows me
- friends
What you've managed is to cheapen everything I've done.
And don’t pretend you know what I have been through son.
And these days grievances come creeping through my open door.
I guess that’s what friends are for.
I guess that’s what friends are for.
Can you not leave me alone?
Can you not leave me alone?
Can you not leave me alone? [al]'one.
- Gare du Nord
This feels right and I'm letting it,
and now I know just what to do.
Tire of me if you will my dear,
but I will not tire of you.
This is the world as I see it now;
turns out that nothing is fair.
You can leave me if you wish my love,
- If I'm to Die
[Verse]
If I’m to die before I reach you
Please know I’m meant to love you till I did
If I’m to slip beneath a train meant to take me
Know that I believe that it was worth it
Tell my friends goodbye
Tell my almost ex-wife
That I loved her and left her too soon
- if you must die sweetheart
If you must wait
Wait for them here in my arms as i shake
If you must weep
Do it right here in my bed as i sleep
If you must mourn my love
Mourn with the moon and the stars up above
If you must mourn
- Judging Books By Their Covers
I know I may be lean
not comfortable being seen,
but I feel like I am just what you need
and tho my body's thin I don't let anyone in
but I can't help but let this begin
and tho I may seem cold
and feel I am growing old.
I wish that you would just come home.
- Lying To Yo
I can see in your eyes that you mean it
I can feel in your arms that it's true
And though I just heard myself say it,
Baby, I'm lying to you
Baby, I'm lying to you
All of these years you've been lonely,
And knowing not what you should do
- Lying To You
I can see in your eyes that you mean it
I can feel in your arms that it's true
And though I just heard myself say it,
Baby, I'm lying to you
Baby, I'm lying to you
All of these years you've been lonely,
And knowing not what you should do
- Metaphors
Your features defy all metaphor
And I'm the king of those
Your hair is too pretty to be compared to a city
so I'll leave it out of all my prose
And your eyes are unlike any ocean
that I have ever seen
Unlike any jewels
- Milk Teeth
Don't think of me like that
Just picture me leaving and not coming back
I sat where we sat
Just picking the labels and lighting a match
Darling, your arms are worn backwards you know
Course you know
Darling, you wake for my love and it shows
- On The News
Hey baby saw you on the news,
Lookin' like you ain't got much to lose.
Now you feel you have enough to do.
Come on baby, make me fall in love with you.
Come on, please just make me tell the truth.
Do you wake up lonely everyday,
- sarah minor
And I know that there's friction
between me and you,
I know that you're uncomfortable,
believe me, I do.
I know that it's hard for you to tell me the truth.
But while we are doing so,
Sarah, I love you.
- Small Hands
Miss you terribly already,
Miss the space between your eyelids,
where I'd stare through awkward sentences
and avoid through awkward silence
Miss your teeth when they chatter,
when we smoked out in my garden
When we couldn't sleep for all the heat,
- Sweetheart, What Have You Done To Us
Sweetheart, what have you done to us?
I turned my back and you turned to dust
What have you done?
And oh please just come here, don't fight with me
I think you may have broken me, will you admit?
Ohhhh ohhhh
- The Pugilist
Oh I'm sorry I broke it
Never forgive me
Your love is the hopeless
Light that I need
To remind me I'm living
And that I still need it
You pulled me together
With blood and soft stitches
- Wounded
I would but I'm wounded
And so justify
If I could but I'm unwell
God knows I've tried
How late the murderer
Who lost his knife
And how safe the colonist
- You
If you must wait,
Wait for them here in my arms as I shake
If you must weep,
Do it right here in my bed as I sleep
If you must mourn, my love
Mourn with the moon and the stars up above
If you must mourn,
Don't do it alone
- You Don't Know How Lucky You Are
Does he know who you are?
Does he laugh, just to know
what he has?
Does he know not to talk
about your dad?
Does he know when you're sad?
- You Were Always On My Mind
Maybe I dind’t treat you, quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t love you, quit as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn’t hold you, for all those lonely lonely times
I guess I never told you, I’m so happy that you’re mine
