Too many emotions Deep as any ocean Laughin' when we cry Crying when we're laughin' Tie me to the wreckage Everything is damage Life in undertow Sold imaginations I don't like responsibility I think the thought alone is killing me Bitter hearts and shallow words I don't mind just hangin' out Really think it could get better now You know I held you You know I would I remember all the little conversations I don't mind it when I wonder where the days went Something in the way I can't explain it I don't like responsibility I think the thought alone is killing me Bitter hearts and tangled words I don't mind just hangin' out Really think it could get better now You know I held you You know I would We'll remember saying nothin' at all How we felt real small How we felt I remember all our little conversations Always stuck upon our little conversations Laugh until we cry Cry until we're laughin' I don't like responsibility I think the thought alone is killing me Bitter hearts and shallow words I don't mind just hangin' out Really think it could get better now You know I held you You know I would You know I held you You know I would

They say love's a gamble Put it all on black Blowin' out your birthday candles Never gonna get it back So keep that big wheel spinning Because it's only livin' With you and me It's everything in between You know, I might make a good one yet You're my best bet (Ooooh) Yeah, you're my best bet (Ooooh) Hit me til I'm twenty one Straight over my head Singin' "Atlantic City" Baby, I ain't dead yet I'll be counting on you To help me see it through like 1, 2, 1, 2 With you and me It's everything in between You know we might make a good pair yet You're my best bet (Ooooh) Yeah, you're my best bet (Ooooh) Rolled the dice once or twice Now I'm spending all that I have Now jokers and thieves are just hatin' and I ain't mad Let's just keep on spinnin' Til' it's all day winnin' With you and me It's everything in between You know, we might go get lucky yet You're my best bet (Ooooh) Yeah, you're my best bet (Ooooh) Honey, you're my best bet (Ooooh) You're my best bet (Ooooh) Na na nana na, Na na nana na Na na nana na, Na na nana na

Buzzin (Live) 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Sew me up midnight, middle of a heartbreak It comes in waves I like the way you sing Oh, you sting me And I've been crying, words fall onto a page Will you stay? I like the way you send Oh, you send me And all my life I've been Something I wasn't Keep your light on Keep me buzzin All I wanted to be The sound of rain Is gonna put me in a better place That's what they say I like the way you say, "Are you Ok?" to me And all my life I've been Something I wasn't Honey shine on Keep me buzzin All I wanted to be All my life I've been Something I wasn't Keep your light on Keep me buzzin All I wanted to be Is a little closer to what I believe All I wanted to be

Wanna Be Love (feat. Lydia) 03:40
lyrics
buy track
I love the sadness It drives me crazy No ones perfect Don't try and change me Wanna leave this city Those big, blue buildings Go up the country Where everyone knows me I know you Never wanted anyone We'll sing until the night is gone You're the string that I'm pullin' on My wanna be love Hellhounds bayin' Outside my window Always hearin' their Wild crescendo That same cruel darkness Came through my garden, she said I wanna be love Not just somebody I know you Never wanted anyone We'll sing until the night is done You're the string that I'm pullin' on, on As we were staring at the setting sun Through the heart of the moon (Yeah) On my black balloon (Yeah) I sail out of view And fade into you And fade into you And fade into you

Perfume on the Page 02:38
lyrics
buy track
I'd like to swim in the ocean Like a bird likes to sing In a cage Without worry of offending Anyone who looks her way I'd like to dance near the lake Like a lonely lover waits In the waves of wonder Why a sudden change Is never the way you want it to Flowers bloom in June I can't explain the words that I would say I'm missing you like perfume on the page And I'd like to wait on forever, no forever Can't explain the words that I would say I never meant for you to slip away I'm missing you like perfume on the page I'm missing you like perfume on the page

Close to Me 04:09
lyrics
buy track
Picture frames, plastic rings I was never good at saving things Put me in a box, put me on a shelf I'll try too hard to impress myself Things you know they go The way they ought to be I'll recite your words to keep me company Lights go out, in this crummy town I hear your ghost You're not around It echoes through Every corridor Every place inside you've been before Things you know they go The way they ought to be I'll recite your words To keep me company Why can't I keep you close to me? Every tangled web I'm pulling out the seams Whatever was or is Or how it used to be Or how I got so old Or how I always was I would've kissed you on the mouth Would've said it was enough Things you know they go The way they ought to be I'll recite your words To keep me company I'll just hold my breathe I'll wait here patiently You always made me laugh Why can't I keep you close to me? Why can't I keep you close to me? Why can't I keep you close to me?

Grayside 03:07
lyrics

Black and white A whisper in the vines A brighter shade of blue Coming through too I can recognize the wrong and the right sides I can see the truth Just as well as you A head in the clouds A foot on the ground A race to the bottom Payin' no mind Livin' on the grayside Living life by the shadow of a lens A fire sign survives by flight and rebellion Two lost souls laid in the dead soil Innocence broken Wash, rinse repent Please forgive me for my sins A head in the clouds A foot on the ground A race to the bottom Payin' no mind Livin' on the grayside A shimmer of light We'll shine until the end Shine on you diamonds Payin' no mind Livin' on the grayside Everybody's gonna to take off their clothes Take off their clothes Everybody let their true colors show True colors show Wash, rinse repent Please forgive me for my sins A head in the clouds A foot on the ground A race to the bottom Payin' no mind Livin' on the grayside A shimmer of light We'll shine through the end Shine on you diamonds Payin' no mind Livin' on the grayside Payin' no mind Livin' on the grayside

Down (Live) 04:10
lyrics

Hey, I don't think that I belong here Hey, alone up in your atmosphere Down, down beneath the ocean blue Hey, maybe I can dive with you? I've been lonely now a time or two Only when I fall, I fall for you I'd go anywhere you want me to Down Hey, kiss the words right off your tongue Down, down below oblivion Oo, Ooh I've been lonely now a time or two Only when I fall, I fall for you I'll go anywhere you want me to Down Down, down, down I've been lonely now a time or two Only when I fall, I fall for you I'd go anywhere you want me to Down Down, down, down
