Knowing You 05:00
lyrics
buy track
No one could be more wrong; That's right 'cause we all gotta' die alone You want it to be just like it was before I know but nothing can bring that back I guess it would be a shame if we lived like that oh so sad You take every chance you get to say that we don't need no sunny days baby Maybe something this time will show 'cause I'm on my way, baby now This time I just know You're running out of promises; So long 'cause now I won't wait around anymore 'Cause I wanna' be someone who don't got to be alone But nobody really cares if you don't go home Did you think so? You take every chance you get to say that we don't need no sunny days baby Maybe something this time will show 'cause I'm on my way, baby now Yeah knowing you, I don't think so

February 04:05
lyrics

February came around again It had me falling on the ground again I got a bullet in my chest again I just did what I thought was best again But you know me In time slowly You won't believe My inconsistencies with you ring true in your head My inconsistencies with you ring true You know me But you don't know what love is and you go anywhere you want to February came around again It had me falling on the ground again

All The Things We Did Today 04:42
lyrics
buy track
I got something to tell you but I don't know how to start The things you did to keep me here are driving us further apart But what do I care? I just don't believe all the things you say now I just won't know what's keeping me falling in Sometimes I feel like going out Sometimes I feel like nothing at all All the things we did today tomorrow will show they're all mistakes But what do I know? I just don't believe all the things you say now I just don't know what keeps me from falling in

Phases Mvt. 1 "Stray" 02:57
lyrics
buy track
In some dark corner you can stay love but they'll use you all up But I'm just some little stray waiting to follow you home and get you all alone I gotta' do it again before I get scared Well it's no wonder you ever thought that could fix up your past I just don't care to ask another "Is your heart mine?" The city will decide I gotta' do it again before I get scared But don't you know that there's a star tonight and it looks alright

Phases Mvt. 2 "Lights" 04:46
lyrics
buy track
First the lights, it won't be long 'till I'll be gone Because the thing we're dreaming of it won't be love I know We don't really get too long Next your lock, that little key but not for me 'Cause in the darkness of that night you weren't alright I know We don't really get too long When we don't come back this time well I can't say I'll be surprised 'Cause though you're good book says it so well I don't know that's right

Tampico 03:35
lyrics
buy track
I don't claim to know what's right I guess I'm just wasting time Staring at your photograph Talking 'bout your New York plans I guess it's fine 'cause you don't wanna' talk right away I don't even mind 'cause I won't see you anyway No no Running errands for your friends You're going out when I come in All those things that you could have You're talking about it every day I guess it's fine 'cause you don't wanna' talk right away I don't even mind 'cause I won't see you anyway I don't mind I don't claim to know what's right But I guess I'm just wasting time Staring at your photograph I wonder what it's like out there I guess it's fine 'cause you don't wanna' talk right away I don't even mind 'cause I won't see you anyway I don't mind

You Started A War 05:41
lyrics
buy track
For the first time in a while I was thinking I was fine Big block letters chased away Lonely wagers for today But I don't care what you say don't care no I don't care at all I warned you You started a war by coming down my way with a sweet face and a hand grenade behind your back waiting if I'd flinched when you told me that I was lovely But now your dug out is crumbling down I could have saved you I could have tried I tried Now I don't care what you say don't care no I don't care at all

Watching Yourself Disappear 03:28
lyrics
buy track
Another day alone and I won't be alright but that's what I do Standing all alone on the bus at home well it makes me nervous Oh well I could change all the things that I like to do I could change anything if you asked me to, it's true but I don't know what to do And I don't know why I try I never really thought that I could be so cold but I'm trying to make it better Staring back at her the whole ride home and she thinks it's creepy Oh well if I step in your direction do I lose my place? It's just the fear of never knowing couldn't be erased, it's true I'm in love with you But I don't know why i try It's like watching yourself disappear (I'm wide awake, and I'm almost ready; I'm already gone)
