White Wash 03:55
I'm becoming comfortable in my shoes Everywhere I walk leaves a little room In these electric times I've always known the way I've walked back and forth between night and day This small town has lost too many friends Some wrote songs and others taught lessons In these electric times we've learned to touch what's there Holding tight, forever can't feel my stare When I look around It seemed clearer before When I look around It seemed clearer All I see is this repeating night Where hearts don't break, they're just lost from sight These electric times can spin out of control When emotionless dancing takes it's toll I watched my southern town get covered in snow When all the black was gone, only beauty could show These electric times could use a white wash Because I have seen true love's cost

4am 03:29
Here's my breath that turned to sound It's my ears, they're on the ground In a heat wave from another town Sweats a soul you've never found All those times that I went to bed 4 in the morning replaced my head All that silence has yet to fade away Out of sight Here's the place I've learned to love It's my mind, it's flown above Setting sights on another town But walking here makes a sound All those times I heard you say 4 in the morning replaced your grace All those heartbeats you earned like charity That short week when we stayed awake 4 in the morning could never shake All your glances aimed straight to the west In due time
3.
There's a day that we want to breathe With the lungs that we've always held Like the sting from a leaving love That left your heart a beating drum Our time, it keeps ticking by With the strength from our own two arms Like the ones on your lover's hands That squeeze too tight when they help you stand As hard as it to tell These are not my feet My words are not this sweet Because I have turned no leaf At this place that we've finally reached We'll stand up straight with all the things we've seen Like the dust that lays around lazy And your past has now gone hazy
4.
Second Wind 03:55
You're sleeping in, you're sleeping off Those tired eyes you wear so proudly You've wanted this second wind You're breathing life, you're breathing death You walk upstairs, you turn sideways You've wanted this double take You hum along as you go to work You leave your clothes around the city You've wanted this Scream out your fears even louder now that I have let you go I stumble to the top Scream out your fears even louder now that I have let you go I'm never here, I'm never here, I'm never here I'll let in on what I've seen The sun first sets and then it rises I've wanted this nightlife I'll let you in on what I know I breathe in deep and then I breathe out I've wanted this
5.
Blame 03:13
Blame it on the moon Because I can't see the sun I put my faith in sound Then walk fast and slink around I put my faith in sound Then talk fast and stand around This is only best When space fills your happiness This is only best When space is your happiness I put my faith in sound Then walk fast and slink around
6.
You are here sick with me With heavy light that's hot to breath Holding hearts that sing for free Head inside, here comes the breeze Everyday is listening Arms you hold fall on me Here I am, I came to be A brand new man I'll never leave Breaking arms and showing feet Waving hands that come for cheap Everyday is listening Arms that hold the blame for me I'm the one that sees the same go, go, go You are only seeing me now Here I am, I came to be A brand new man you'll never see Meeting hearts that gain no ground The breeze is here, but it makes no sound Everyday is listening Arms that hold the blame for me
7.
Station 02:52
Waiting at the station tonight Waiting just to shed you some light Then you'll see me brighter Waiting on a seat by the bar Waiting just to catch your eye Then I'll bring up the old times Because I can I am going no where I'm breathing in colors But I'm seeing the same dark scheme Waiting at the scene of the crime Waiting just to say goodnight And I've seen it all now Finally I am dancing too close I'm breathing in colors But I'm seeing the same dark scheme I laid awake last night With a searching heart laughing at me Waiting at the station tonight Waiting just to see you alive
8.
Tight Rope 03:04
I am not afraid of anything that could trap me next to you Like a simple sound, that could tackle down a heartbeat that I could feel When the morning comes you could set aside our truce I have never met anyone from here that could tell me what's out there Holding diamonds in their pockets for a future that lives to scare When the morning comes you could settle down for cheap All of this This is mourning In the morning Outside I have never made anything from time that can treat me like you do Like a single note, from a tight rope, walking side by side with me Late this afternoon we could set that pressure free Then down the line I will hurry down your street
9.
A Book 03:01
Hey, why'd you come here? Hey, why'd you pick here? A book from a friend, who dared to pretend And look at you now Hey, how'd you get here? Hey, how'd you make it to me? A train, through a fire? Oh, you liar And look you're safe now Help myself when no one is lost Climb to the top just to see across Again Hey, aren't you curious? How, how I picked here A book, thrown at me by old suburban queen And look at me now
10.
There's a bird outside singing in the key of D It fit so right, i'd swear he wrote it for me The truth is that he wrote it for a girl Whose name I can't remember anymore There's this ghost I've known for all of my short life Who swears everyday that he's going to find a life Pick some skin and help us get by Love us all and stop those fucking lies That ghost outside he hums a long with me Repeats everything we say, and says it was he He's never told the truth before in his life I'm exaggerating, maybe once or twice There's this girl in my face and she's crying about me I could say something but I think I like what I see She says she's done all that she knows to do I could cry with her but then she'd know the truth There's this teacher who taught me since the day I was born Fed by a spoon and played me like a horn Until the day the girl she made sense "To love a ghost" is all in present tense
