1.Pack Your Things And Go
Where are you off to this time
I promise I'm not chasing you
No one's demanding your loyalty
I just thought that maybe this time
I'd come too
Just when I need you
You pack your things and go
You made promises you didn't always keep
But I guess that's what youth is for
I give you presents but you throw them all away
I've been under the impression
That I mattered to you more
Just when I need you
You pack your things and go
2.So Sad
No one notices such a slow decline
I used to be yours and you used to be mine
You used to be mine
You used to be mine
You and me alone here
Is just a memory
Nothing grows here and nothing ever will
It all died a while ago but I wait here still
I wait here still
You and me alone here
Is just a memory
I can't help you
And you can't help me
It's so sad
So sad
No one notices such a slow decline
I used to be yours and you used to be mine
You used to be mine
You used to be mine
You and me alone here
Is just a memory
3.Over
Watching the insects devour
The last of the summer flowers
Listening to the same old thing
But nothing is the same
Watching the only thing I ever really wanted
Slip away
Feeling the heat, I'm suffocating
Well aware that no one's waiting
Here or there or in between
Desperately holding onto what I think I need
Everything's over
Everything's over
You say nothing could be wrong
But I know things don't take this long
If they're okay
Nothing's okay
Wasted all my time again today
I'll never amount to anything
If I go on this way
Watching the ocean take back
Every wish I make
Throwing sand back to the sea
Watching the sun go down and
Wishing that the waves would take back me
Everything's over
Everything's over
You say nothing could be wrong
But I know things don't take this long
If they're okay
Nothing's okay
Nothing's okay
4.No One At All
Side by side they're beautiful
And yet I let them go
Now there's no one at all
Make my bed and lie in it
Gleefully I will steal covers
From no one at all
Everyone knows unrequited
Love's the best way to stay alone
Watch me chase the bad one
Yearning for the worst one
Laughing as I end up
With no one at all
5.Tracks And Tunnels
Way too far away
Two days
Have another drink on me
Now you're finally free
I wish I could make this train
Go faster than it does
I wish I could make this train
Go faster than anything
Tracks and tunnels covered in snow
I should have gone home a long time ago
This seemingly endless fight
Ends tomorrow night
I wish I could make this train
Go faster than it does
I wish I could make this train
Go faster than anything
You and me both abandon all of our hope
We leave it for somebody else to find
I raise my bow and aim
Missing every time the same
No use being angry at anyone
Like we've already done
I wish I could make this train
Go faster than it does
I wish I could make this train
Go faster than anything
I wish I could make this train
Go faster than it does
I wish I could make this train
Go faster than anything
6.Excellent
You say that nothing is better than this
I feel the same and let you know with each kiss
That I love you
This thing is bigger than you or me
From here to heaven or across any sea
It's true
Oh sweetie everything's excellent
Oh sweetie everything's fine
I know I've said it already before
But every time means even more
I swear it's true
I'll never go back to how I was
I don't have to now because
I have you
Oh sweetie everything's excellent
Oh sweetie everything's fine
How did I get so lucky
Or when will someone wake me
From this dream
It's much too good to be real
I can't belive the way I feel
But it's true
Oh sweetie everything's excellent
Oh sweetie everything's fine
Everything's fine
7.My Foolish Way
Hide and seek now I'm fast asleep
Once again I missed my turn
I feel so naive next to her
But maybe I'll get better
Maybe then I'll never ever ever again
Disbelieve when you say
You love my foolish way
She knows you
So much better than I do
I toss in my sleep
And I fret all day long
You find it charming
That I'm always wrong
Maybe I'll get better
Maybe then I'll never ever ever again
Disbelieve when you say
You love my foolish way
8.The Best Days
I want you to see boats, so you took me to the sea
I felt like I could fly in this new sky you showed to me
Airplanes passed above us, so only I could hear
When you whispered 'I love you' so sweetly in my ear
These are the best days (2x)
Night time on an empty shore - foggy like my head
Drifting off to sleep to all those silly things you said
Waking for a moment, to say that we'd be fine
You hid your smile with one hand and with the other you held
mine
These are the best days (5x)
9.Fortune
Burden overcomes
Even the best of us
But I forgive you
I forgive you
Fortune finds
Even the worst of us
But I forgive you
I forgive you
Jealousy overtakes
Even the best of us
But I forgive you
I forgive you
10.Splintered Hands
Maybe you tried but I know better
Than to hear your side
I'd feel better maybe if you cried too
Eyes teary and sore
I'm ringing the bell and I know you hear it
But I can't tell if you're laughing or crying
You hide it so well
You've done this before
With splintered hands
I keep knocking on your door
With splintered hands
I keep knocking on your door
You offer your help but I don't want it
Keep it to yourself
I'd rather die than do that again
I've made that mistake before
You just stand there
You see I'm bleeding all over
But I don't care I'm used to this
There's broken glass everywhere
I'm cold and sore
With splintered hands
I keep knocking on your door
With splintered hands
I keep knocking on your door
With splintered hands
I keep knocking on your door
With splintered hands
I keep knocking on your door
11.About You
I thought you were nice
I'd like to tell you twice
Hey I like your band
Come and take my hand
We'll travel to a distant land
I thought you were too cool
I feel like such a fool
Well I live two hours away
I'll be back another day
Maybe we could take guitars and play
I don't really know you
I've heard things about you
About you
12.Anywhere But Here
Too shallow to see
The damage is already done
You can no longer count on
Anyone
There's never enough time
To make it all disappear
You'd follow me anywhere but here
Two weeks and six days
And seven hours late
Practicing saying goodbye
While I wait
There's never enough time
To make it all disappear
You'd follow me anywhere but here
13.Winter Pageant
Was it really so long ago
We were taking photographs
Of each other in our winter pageant clothes
Skipping school going home
Running for shelter from a sudden thunderstorm
Kissing raindrops on your nose
What part did I play
In making you the way you are
What more can I say to convince you
You didn't have to go so far
You didn't have to go so far
You may as well live a universe away now
I'll probably never see you again
I wonder where you went
Where do you go what do you see
And do you ever think of me
And california
And all that time we spent
What part did I play
In making you the way you are
What more can I say to convince you
You didn't have to go so far
You didn't have to go so far
14.Make Up Your Mind
I see that you're still wearing my ring
I stopped wearing yours
Don't you have some decency
But if you didn't care then
Then why should you care now
So you manage still somehow
To make a fool of me
But I'm alright this way
And though you seem okay
The truth is showing through
I'm just another disaster
You managed to avert
Nevermind how much it hurt
Or do you ever feel that too
Or is your mind already made up?
Or is your mind already made up?
