I heard you didn’t leave because you wanted to
But because you had to go and figure out things on your own
I hope you don’t mind all the vulgar words I write
It just shows that you’re the most important one on my mind
I’ve heard you in my sleep, I’ve even seen you in my dreams
And I wish that I could say that I don't know what it means
I know it may be true that I am still in love with you
But there is no one in the world that sees me quite like you do
Well I hope, when you venture off to sea
It's not the hard times that you keep
But the whole world that evolved into you and me
And you dive deep into the life that you need

If Only For You

I was looking through the fog of an early morning trying to keep you
Holding you flowers to last, I was cast in a feeling trying to hold you
But you were an ocean, love, I couldn’t hold you
But I didn’t lose it, I kept it together, if only for you
I’m stuck on the freeway, I’m dust in the doorway, if only for you
I’m hung on a heartache, I’m mad at the mistakes, if only for you
But I didn’t know that I would lose you so soon
I was looking for the light in a midnight hurry trying to keep you
Holding your towers of glass, I was cracks in the ceiling trying to hold you
But you were an ocean, love, I couldn’t hold you
But I didn’t lose it, I kept it together, if only for you
I’m stuck on the freeway, I’m dust in the doorway, if only for you
I’m hung on a heartache, I’m mad at the mistakes, if only for you
But I didn’t know that I would lose you so soon
It only took a trip to the coast
To have a week alone at most
But I didn’t figure it out
I didn’t overcome what I’ve been thinking about
I’m in love with someone who doesn’t want me around
But I didn’t lose it, I kept it together, if only for you
I’m stuck on the freeway, I’m dust in the doorway, if only for you
I’m hung on a heartache, I’m mad at the mistakes, if only for you
But I didn’t know that I would lose you so soon

Hollywood Handsome

I live alone
In a basement with you
Your Hollywood Handsome
Is holding on
If you could wake in my thoughts
You’d see the cringe worthy worries of my world
Yes, you’re still in my dreams
Yes, you haunt me daily it seems

Nightmare Like You
03:06
|

I woke up, I was screaming again
It felt weird without you here
You've never missed a nightmare
Darling, how am I supposed to know
If you're safe when I'm alone?
There's no way to know
When your hands are walking down my side
I've the feeling that I could die
Like that would be all right
I woke up, I was screaming again
It felt weird without you here
I've never missed a nightmare quite like you
Madball’s invited to a night of romance in my room
You can bring your demons, too
I love them as I do you
When your hands are walking down my side
I've the feeling that I could die
Like that would be all right
Like that would be all right

Mental Hurricane

You’re a mental hurricane
You’re dressed up like it’s Sunday
Sneaking your demons in
Keep them hidden under your dress
You smell like smoke and your hair’s a mess
When I can’t find the right words to say…
Please know that you’re looking beautiful today
Truth is I know what I want to say
But it looks like I’m not yours
And I’m not allowed to say it no more
Like a mental hurricane
You swept in and enveloped my brain
Now I can’t find the right words to say
You seem to invade all the functional parts of my day
And I’ve been trying to fight all the words that I want to say
But love if I may, I’d say…
Please know that you’re looking beautiful today
Truth is I know what I want to say
But it looks like I’m not yours
And I’m not allowed to say it no more
You’re a mental hurricane
(I want you, I love you, my mental hurricane)
I’ve been trying to fight all the words that I want to say

Capable Wolf

Sweetheart, I know you wanna go
But when you’re dripping in luna
I just can’t seem to show that…
I’m a wolf, I’m a wolf
I don’t know what I’m capable of
Just howling away most days
Then I said, “My sweetheart,
I think the bath tub is low”
As I’m turning my head ‘round
Ms. Luna she spots my woe
I’m a wolf, I’m a wolf
I don’t know what I’m capable of
Just howling away most days
I’m a wolf
(I’m a wolf, I’m a wolf)
I’m a wolf, I’m a wolf
I don’t know what I’m capable of
Just howling away most days
I’m a wolf, I’m a wolf

Studio of Love
04:02

It’s nights like these that I think of where I was
Just laying, staring at your ceiling fan
Thinking of how I could write you a perfect song
But I never could
I stumble through the dark putting all my clothes on
I leave odd numbers on volume knobs to feel numb
Just like we felt in your cold studio of love
Stretch me thin as wind
And maybe you can find another lover
To love you again
It’s hazy dawn like when your second mother died
A helpless feeling when you hung the phone and cried
To know I couldn’t amount to anything to shift the feeling inside
I tumbled over to the side where you were sleeping
You asked me if I’ve ever been in love
“Well, no, hun
I thought I’d before you, darling
But I couldn’t be any more wrong”
Stretch me thin as wind
And maybe you can find another lover
To love you again
When we were happy in love, we were dancing
We had a few of the same steps, “we’re matching”
But I couldn’t hold you down
I couldn’t keep you around
If I could have known what you wanted
Just before we had started, I’d like that
It’s nights like these that I think of where I was
Just laying, staring at your ceiling fan
Thinking of how I could write you a perfect song
But I never could

French Women
04:21
|

To the night we bundled up
In the backseat just for us
To hide in the tall grass
To watch all our love pass
To the time in your bathroom
I hid to cry further from you
But the smell of your perfume
Kept every memory of you
Your teeth, lit match, piano keys
Your sheets, a world underneath
Your love is lingering
When those french women sing
All the time that I’m fighting
Know that I’m pining
I know you loved this song
It’s sort of haunting that you’re gone
I just want you to hear me
I just want you to love me
Your teeth, lit match, piano keys
Your sheets, a world underneath

Sleep, Spun
04:06
|

You’re not missing out on anything
Nothing at all
You left me dancing without anyone
To sleepy records you spun
Why did you leave so much pain?
Why are you more, so much more than a name?
Why did you leave so much pain?
Are you lonely?
I’m not missing you much anymore
Not like before
For me it’s been harder to believe
This ever happened at all
Why did you leave so much pain?
Why are you more, so much more than a name?
Why did you leave so much pain?
Are you lonely?
Why am I lonely?
