Running Start
02:57

New notebooks
And old guitars
Some new faces
Some faded scars
We're so close, so far
We don't know
Just where to turn
Clouded minds
Oh how we learn
And we're so close, so far away
Wall to wall
Can hardly breathe
Same faces
In different cities
We're so close, but so far
Summer days
Spoken smiles
Twist and turns
Down the aisle
And we're so close, so far away
So close, yet so far away
So long ago since you passed my way
Girl, it's easy for you to have that change of heart
When you've got that running start, that running start

Shrug
03:19

I can feel your eyes upon my skull
I'm back in town and now you know
That the pain you left deep within my heart
Was not the end of my pitiful life but the start
And I dare you to say my name out loud
I know girl, you can’t be too proud
Of how you left our little game so unfinished
Your apology is long girl, but it won't diminish
Well it seems like only yesterday
That you led my heart so astray
Now its one year later and you give me all your love
And all that I can do in return is shrug
I was young when you decided to pass by
I dreamt of you and offered the sky
But little did I know your heart belonged to another man
It broke me up when I wasn't part of your plan
Well it seems like only yesterday
That you led my heart so astray
Now its one year later and you give me all your love
And all that I can do in return is shrug

Across the Sea

Goodbye, fare thee well
It sure has been swell
We'll meet another day, another time
I can't afford to stay
It's hard to see you this way
Darling the waves I must ride
(Chorus)
Across the sea
Is where I'll be
I'm sorry to leave our love behind
It's hard to define
What I have to find
Just know you're always on my mind
Oh honey, why the tears?
I'll return in two years
We could send letters across the sky
Honey I'm going miles
To get money in huge piles
I'd go the whole world to see you smile
(Chorus)

Father's Bones
02:45
|
|||
|
They say you can't outrun where you're from
That didn't keep him from trying
He stole the heart of Greenwich Village
The only groom for their bride
He'd fill the shoes of old Saint Peter
That was his fortune told
But his only son stood still in earth
Draped in his father's bones
Draped in his father's bones
Many times his story said
Filled and locked away
He stands in darkness shrouded by
The shadow of his day
The shadow of his day

Old Flames

On a January day
I was with an old flame
When I screamed your name
She faded away from view
Once I caught a glimpse of you
Running off into the street
You didn't seem to have a plan
So I grabbed your hand
Underneath that night sky
When I stared into your eyes
And I saw that secret
That you held in your heart
The one that tore your whole world apart
Darling you've got me tied
There's no remedy I haven't tried
To alleviate the fire
Be the only one I could admire
There's no turning back now
There's no shame to take a bow
On a February day
I broke it with that old flame
I didn't feel the same
What the hell did I do?
Does my heart still know what's true?
Running off into the street
I didn't seem to have a plan
So you grabbed my hand
Underneath that morning sun
When I took it on the run
And I saw that secret
That you held in your heart
The one that tore your whole world apart
Well, darling you've got me tied
There's no remedy I haven't tried
To alleviate the fire
Being the only one I once admired
There's no turning back now
There's no shame to take a bow

Tennessee Dreams

Come listen to the sound of the man on the corner
Listen to his strings, secrets only he knows
Got to keep his woman fed, she's always working hard
Living in some cardboard next to train yard
Well at night on the ground they lay
He says "baby you know I'm going to make it big one day"
"Come on honey let's burn this box down,
Go on an adventure to another town
Let's go"
"Let's hop on in a train, go to Tennessee,
So much there to do, so much there to see,
Let's go"
With matches in hand, with dreamy eyes
He says "honey we're going to take this whole world by surprise"
As the box is engulfed they hear the whistle blow
He says "honey it's now or never, come on let's go"
"Let's hop on in a train, go to Tennessee,
So much there to hear, so much there to see,
Let's go"
