Back Then
03:31
|
|||
You and me are a different breed who cut our teeth on the same 6 strings.
Another week another basement show
Breaking glass on dead end roads.
We were young and dumb and a little fucked up back then
Chasing girls from private schools, sneaking into swimming pools
Rode our bikes all over town and cops would always chase us down
We were young and dumb and a little fucked up back then
But I wouldn't change a thing
Yeah we were young we burned it down
But the fire smoked us out
You were gone when I turned around
Nothing left for us to do now.
And time it always wins
And good things always end
Now that it came and went
Everything was better back then
Headed west for the very first time and the van broke down a million times
Didn't know where we'd sleep at night
It was the best time of our lives
We were young and dumb and a little fucked up back then
But I wish I could do it again
If it's a long way up, then it's a long way down.

Bottom of the Ocean
03:51
|

I guess you've seen it all
All the darkness and the light
I'm just a criminal
Trying to steal some of your time
Maybe the thrill is gone
And the magic has died
Here I am holding on
For one more ride
Where do you go?
When the walls close in on you
How do you know?
That the world is done with you
I was golden for a moment
But I lost it now I'm broken
Where do you go?
How do you know?
Watch all the smiles fade
Watch the sky turn blue to grey
It's hard to get away
With one foot stuck in the grave
Feels like a huricane
Came and ripped us all apart
I don't feel anything
In the dark.
Where do you go?
When the walls close in on you
How do you know?
That the world is done with you
I was golden for a moment
But I lost it now I'm broken
Where do you go?
How do you know?
Don't waste your time looking for secrets at the bottom of the ocean
Just keep your hands moving
As you try to fight through it.

Lost on the Way Home
03:15
|
|||
Honestly you don't want the truth
Cause it might kill me
To tell you what I've been going through
I lost control
When I sold my soul to rock and roll
I came so close
Now I'm further than I was before
I got lost on the way home
But I found piece of mind
Coming out of the stereo
And I knew that I'd be fine
As I stared out the window
And saw the world flying by
I got lost on the way home
But I'm fine
Promise me you wont turn back
And don't follow me
Cause I don't know where I'm heading yet
Full speed ahead
And I couldn't stop if I wanted to
Until I'm dead
I'll do exactly what I want to do
I got lost on the way home
But I found piece of mind
Coming out of the stereo
And I knew that I'd be fine
As I stared out the window
And saw the world flying by
I got lost on the way home
But I'm fine
I'll let go if you want me to.

It Doesn't Matter
04:06
|
|||
Locked me in a room
Left me in the corner
Block out my view and weigh down on my shoulders
All of the words hit me at once
All of the world would never be enough
I always knew that it can't last forever
But what do you do when you finally surrender
And see that you gotta leave
The only place that you wanna be
I'm gonna miss the way it rains
Yeah who'll catch you when you come down?
Who will be watching when the lights go out?
No doesn't matter where you're going now
It doesn't matter
Traveled down the road
Saw both the coasts
No one was there so I just went home
And did you get what you want from me?
Was it enough to take everything
I'm gonna miss the way it rains
Yeah who'll catch you when you come down
Who will be watching when the lights go out
No doesn't matter where you're going now
It doesn't matter
When it all comes to an end
Can't say we can try again.

Graveyard
03:19
|
|||
I came here looking for a ghost
But found out I was only chasing smoke
I lost you somewhere long ago
Like a song I’ve heard but don't know how it goes
You're laid to rest under the overpass
We hardly knew ya
Just hold your breath through the graveyard
Above our heads are the same stars
I'm not trying to be your savior
So just hold your breath through the graveyard
Paid all my respects to you and yours
Then the sun went down and the world kept moving on
You're laid to rest under the overpass
We hardly knew ya
Just hold your breath through the graveyard
Above our heads are the same stars
I'm not trying to be your savior
So just hold your breath through the graveyard
I'll go quietly into the night
Hold on tightly and say goodbye.

How Are You
03:35
|
|||
Found a picture of you today
Got me thinking about
How, How are you doing now?
Well me I've been ok
Had a lot of rain on my parade
But how are you
How are you doing now?
That everyone got their way
I heard you made your great escape
Where are you going now
Aint it funny how fast it changed
Built a castle just to keep me away
But I know you
If you wanted me to come back home
You never would have locked the door
Spin it back pointing fingers saying who shot first
I tried to runaway but I burned up in the center of the universe
When I lost you.

Should Have Been
02:07
|
|||
Watched all of my dreams all come true for someone else
Took a backseat took a backhand
But at least I know myself
Every story has an ending
Every chapter has a close
It might not be the one I want
But that's the way it goes
I should have been
I should have been
I should have been better than I am
It's been so many years since you haven't been around
If you could see me now
Well I hope I made you proud
I gave up everything I had
But never gave up hope
I'll take this fucking pain in me and turn into gold
I should have been
I should have been
I should have been better than I am.

Bottle Rocket
03:40
|
|||
I feel the pull from the undertow
As it drags me out to sea
Can you still picture me at 17
Before life took its toll
All my dreams and big ideas they won’t change anything
Yeah we watched it all fly by
The best things we've forgotten
Flashed before my eyes
Faster than a bottle rocket
I know how hard you tried
I'm only being honest
You burned up way too bright
Faster than a bottle rocket
The songs you know from the radio
That can take you back in time
What I'll miss the most you would never know
For a second the world was mine
All my dreams and big ideas they wont change anything
I'm just looking for a souvenir
Yeah we watched it all fly by
The best things we've forgotten
Flashed before my eyes
Faster than a bottle rocket
I know how hard you tried
I'm only being honest
You burned up way too bright
Faster than a bottle rocket
When I go don't you worry anymore.

Burning In My Blood
03:06
|
|||
Hang on go slow
Same spot as before
Old hands new clothes
Not scared anymore
Chin up move on
Take me back where i belong
Head first crash course
Not scared anymore
Like a chemical
I feel it burning in my blood
It's a miracle I can even get back up
I'll turn all my pain into a hand grenade
Like a chemical
I feel it burning in my blood
Break free leave home
I don't care where we go
Free fall no rope
Not scared anymore
Like a chemical
I feel it burning in my blood
It's a miracle I can even get back up
I'll turn all my pain into a hand grenade
Like a chemical
I feel it burning in my blood.

Paradise
03:03
|
|||
I got caught with the smoking gun
I'm not as smart as I thought I was
I'm not as young as I used to be
But there's some fire still burning in me
Every lesson I learned from you
Every record that got me through
Made me who I am today
Where we end up nobody really knows
I'll keep running till my heart explodes
Cause I know it's gotta get better
Sick of making these apologies
Sick of living life down on my knees
Cause I know it's gotta get better
Hold on to what you have
Cause when you go you wont get it back
On the outside all along
When all you wanted was just to belong
Every misstep and broken bone
Every time someone told me no
Made me who I am today
In another life
I’ll find paradise.

If I Knew Then
04:40
|
|||
I need a little bit a little more
Just enough to get me up off the floor
I pushed my confidence out the door
Cause I don't need it anymore
Remember being innocent and just a kid
Maybe for a minute I could go back again
And take a look at where I've been
And where I won't be again.
If I knew then
If I knew then
If I knew then what I do now
Maybe everything wouldn't be so bad
Found the polaroids you used to love
All the old guitars and cameras
Hung the pictures up down the hall
That I can't walk down anymore
I'll see you in a little bit a little more
You always said that life's too short
To ever give a fuck what they say
Just go on your way
If I knew then
If I knew then
If I knew then what I do now
Maybe everything wouldn't be so bad
Can you hear me at all
Out on the otherside
I remember it all
It's what keeps me alive
(If i knew then, this all that I get If i knew then everything has to end).
