Haunt On 04:19
It's difficult enough, just the way it felt Now all the plans you make are conveyor belts Pulling you along It's difficult enough, to imagine it Oh, the things a hand can steal Oh, but the way it fits When you're drunk and you know you're wrong. So haunt on, haunt on. By the time they call off the search We will have whispered through walls The things we've known all along And by the time we decide to emerge All those things that we've known They will rest in our bones And we'll sail them into trees Like paper airplanes in the breeze And from the mountain we'll look down and we'll see That though this all was a hoax Real love's a true ghost And now you are free And we'll sail them to the sea Newspaper boats floating down the stream And from the fountain we'll look up all relieved For though this all was a hoax Real love's a true ghost And now you are free To haunt on.

WKNDS 03:31
I am on a learning curve What a thoughtful choice of words And compounds swirl in her On the weekends And she's got it ear to ear And I'm just trying to run a business here But maybe I'll get to see her On the weekends Well, I fell a catacomb Of all the things I thought I had known With a grin, and a single stone On the weekends On the weekends I'll feel right at home On the weekends, oh

I put up my seatback, considered flying I think about this all night and all day I'm quite proud of the fact That I never know when I will go from all white to all grey My teeth clench to white And I swear this time Things will be different Oh my This is what it looks like When I'm turning back into myself Can't you tell? And this is what I look like When I try to turn into myself And I will Everybody just take a step back Just give the man Some room to breathe 'cause help is on the way No need for all of that Wrong cause and wrong effect But I'm so close I can taste it This is what it looks like When I'm turning back into myself Hurts like hell Oh but this is what I look like When I try to turn into myself And I will, I will

Well, I shook and I shuttered Oh what's the other thing that I felt? When I ditched on this island I swore I'd keep the finer thing for myself But a kink in a hose says, "All that does grow, without water, will die" What a typical me, to just stare at my feet And hope they stay dry But I drank from the well And I saved up like hell And what did I buy? I guess I never was much For all that reading and such So I bought myself time And then there's the 'me' With a red handkerchief All full of my clothes And it's tied to a branch And slung right over my back So everyone knows And they'll know That I no longer require your presence To feel at home. So I came on my own accord I wasn't bored or just towing that line I found a hole in the fence And as you would've guessed It was green on that side. You can dance, I can tell And I would if I felt That'd it all be alright I guess I never was much For all that moving and once I sat down I felt fine But then there's the 'me' With a red handkerchief Folded on my shelf Held down by a stack Of books I borrowed way back When I needed some help But now I'm helping myself And I no longer require your hand For mine to be held I've never felt better and I've never felt better, Thanks for asking

Close Enough 05:35
A little less fortified A little more out of mind Now we're walking with feet so light Alright, alright All of that banging in The cage your heart had then They were screaming so loud, "Just let me in, I'm human" When I said 'love' What I meant was... When I said 'love' When I said 'love' I meant 'close enough' But when I said 'home' I meant every shore but yours Was so foreign 'til I found my own When a period ends the line It's just a scar for a word I couldn't write And whenever I mention time It just means I've always changed my mind But where I wrote 'sunrise' It meant that I'd been so blind But where I wrote 'fine' I just meant 'fine' And where I wrote 'whiskey glass' My greatest mistake, I guess The word that I wrote When I should've screamed 'yes' And when I said 'love' I meant 'close enough' But when I said 'home' I meant every shore but yours Was so foreign 'til I found my own. But I don't expect you to know.

Clap Song 04:12
There are no colors for me to turn now I borrowed your book Built a shelter for a match And burned the page out And I don't know And you don't mind This is only a matter of time And I don't know You don't mind, do you? Well, look at you... There are no matches for me to burn now Nor should I try I think we both bet on what we expected To happen the first time But I think former or latter is fine This is only a meeting of minds I think former or latter is fine It's fine, don't you? Well, look at you... There are no colors for me to turn now There are no matches for me to burn now

What did I do To be stood in a room No judge and no jury here The strangest of trials, dear What do I got to prove I never said never And he never really let her Be who she ought to be So she did what was best for me I'm telling the truth I am beginning to understand The way my voice breaks and bends Things I said but never meant Make me who I am Who makes the rules And adheres to them too? I long for the finer things But the smoke clears and I always sing Those hypocrite blues I never said forever But he wrote it in his letter So I see what I wanna see And then I act accordingly I'm telling the truth And I have now begun to understand That allowing my voice to crack Things I said and never took them back Make me who I am So please, please, please Put some wind behind your teeth Let your voice crack, it's only me Embrace those shakes, it only means It means this is real.

I can be what you want me to be I just can't be seen I can be what you want me to be I just can't be seen Oh There was a picture in my head Don't get me wrong, here Don't get me wrong, here There was a picture in my head Don't get me wrong, here Don't get me wrong, here I can be what you want me to be I just can't be seen I can be what you want me to be I just can't be seen Repair me, repair me Repair me, repair me I can't be seen

Lo and behold! It's remarkable I've been warned before That blinking reds And local law enforcement Kept us from our beds Sleeping on floors And I want to go home I want to go home I came in with nothing And when I leave here I'll have most of it left, dear And Lansing and Things I never said It's not that they weren't ever meant I'll admit that Sometimes I miss you so bad I miss you so bad
