Saw a picture of you and it took the division of your head and your hands and your heart away Well your hair was a mess, you were wearing that same dress You were wearing that same dress Somebody tried, somebody tried to write a song about you Somebody tried, somebody tried to put you down forever But the words that came out when they opened their mouth they were just a lot of nonsense I think I can do better Caught a whisper of you, and it went in my right ear It was like you were right here for a moment And the wheels of my car count the hours to the middle of nowhere We'll be half by the morning We'll be half by morning Somebody tried, somebody tried to write a song about you Somebody tried, somebody tried to put you down forever But the words that came out when they opened their mouth they were just a lot of nonsense I think I can do better Well they'll put you down forever They'll put you down forever Don't let them put you down forever We'll be half by the morning We'll be half by morning Somebody tried, somebody tried to write a song about you Somebody tried, somebody tried to put you down forever But the words that came out when they opened their mouth they were just a lot of nonsense I think I can do better Give me a chance...

You took a fast train east of the city, said "I'm never coming back" I left a handful of bills in your pocket, trying to surprise you Feels like I'm always throwing money away It's too hard to explain and too easy to pay St. Yesterday I picture you somewhere deep in the desert, and a canopy of stars Empty miles and emptier decisions traveling behind you Feels like I'm always throwing people away with so many words and so little to say St. Yesterday It's too easy to pay, it's too easy to pay It's too easy, it's too easy to pay You took a fast train east of the city, said "I'm never coming back" I left a handful of change in your pocket, trying to remind you Feels like I'm always throwing favors away They just cut their ties to me any old way St. Yesterday It's too easy to pay, it's too easy to pay It's too easy, it's too easy to pay

Best Friend 04:05
Blue September day dawned as if to say come out, come out to play But it's a serious world you share with someone who looks up, looks up to you and reminds you what to do and what not to Sleeping all night in your bathtub Windows shut tight, keep your guard up Look at you now, how's this gonna end Never turn back on your best friend Gray October sky shifting in my eye It's a violet lie, but it's a dangerous world you broke beyond repair and it hurts because you care It's just but it's not fair and it leaves you doing things Sleeping all night in your bathtub Windows shut tight, keep your guard up Look at you now, how's this gonna end Never turn back on your best friend Look at you now, look at you now

Slick black rain and the weary glow of headlights staring double at me I'm in love with the way that these things are not the way they used to be I want to hold you but it's complicated I want to wish you the best in your new life But it's complicated Long black sleeves cover every bruise and scar where you pushed the mark in I think you should find a place to park your car and another door to darken I want to hold you but it's complicated I want to wish you the best in your new life But it's complicated I want to carry you across the ocean I want to welcome you back with open arms But it's complicated Ooh, when you don't know where you belong Ooh, when you don't know where you belong Slick black rain and the weary glow of headlights staring double at me I'm in love with the way that these things are not the way they used to be I want to hold you but it's complicated I want to wish you the best in your new life But it's complicated I want to carry you across the ocean I want to welcome you back with open arms But it's complicated It's complicated

I Can't Wait 04:54
I wonder what it feels like to be anchored to your side in the middle of a crowd of busy strangers All their voices fade as my arm rests against your hip and we slip into the sweetest kind of danger I can't wait, I can't wait You know very well that I've got no sense of direction but you humor all my wandering until The rain starts getting heavy so we shelter in a doorway and your hand would make a place to hold mine still I can't wait, I can't wait Under the roof of a streetlight we'd take a vow without any words We'd take a vow without any words at all We could find a room in any old hotel downtown and open up our windows to the night air and the city sound After we are fast asleep the whole wide world will be awake baby they've got nothing that I want to take I can't wait, I can't wait

Michigan 03:20
With your new electricity, you drove west into the sun The future was calling you, and your next life had barely begun Well it seemed for a while as if everyone was saying your name But when we finally met I could tell from the get we were so much the same Hey Michigan, you got to me just in time Ooh Michigan, you got to me just in time Well your brother got lost and I know it tore a hole in your heart too big to forget, you said never anymore not yet No fucking around, that was always just your attitude And I wouldn't ever try to be what I'm not but I have to stay true to the way I feel Hey Michigan, you got to me just in time Ooh Michigan, you got to me just in time If you're gonna do it at all you better do it Detroit style If you're gonna do it at all you better do it Detroit style If you're gonna do it at all, do it at all Hey Michigan, you got to me just in time

He got lost, it was his choice and when he chose to use his voice he declared "all these pieces fit and I can see no sense in wasting it" So he took one for his mother, one for his sister and one for his daughter to be Torn in three She got tired one night too soon Her only witness was the moon and uncertain sky as she waved goodbye and her hands drew deeper shadows She made one for her father, one for her brother and one for her lover to see Torn in three It's crazy to think that what lets us run for a while leaves us some place to hide You want to get out, you want to get off but this is an all night ride Outside of town he stopped to catch his breath but it escaped him in a rush of regret So he laid his head against the steering wheel and he tried to feel the cars that passed him on the road He counted one for his honor, one for his anger and one for his will to be free Torn in three

Riding on a #7 bus at night sitting next to a girl with a black eye And I don't think she fell down but she didn't want to talk about it It's easy to remember what it's like to be young Used to play in a band with a friend of mine til he was underneath a bottle all the time I just don't think he knew how much anybody cared about him It's easy to remember what it's like to be young It's easy to remember when nobody bothered you and you didn't have to know what to do But sometimes there's not an answer that's true You swear it will be alright You swear it will be alright It's easy to remember what it's like to be young It's easy to remember what it's like to be young what it's like to be coming undone what it's like to be no one

With so many reservations in my head it's hard to tell if we're in love or just in bed This kind of trouble isn't hard to find This kind of trouble isn't hard to find Talking around it is a waste of time Lights go down anywhere in the world This race already run Tomorrow morning is another battle ground We take a petty disagreement and we spin it round and round I try to tell you not to lose your cool I try to tell you not to lose your cool You say I really should have stayed in school Lights go down anywhere in the world This race already run and done, wasted so much time I've been waiting for you to make up their minds I've been waiting You've been waiting Another promise we can never keep Another promise we can never keep Turn off the TV and go back to sleep Lights go down anywhere in the world Eighteen million candles shining out your name Lights go down anywhere in the world This race already run This race already run

Crashing 04:27
The wicked witness where you go Too dark for dust, too clean for shadows You are the distance barely missed My perfect insurrectionist We are always crashing into it If I don't speak it's not that I don't care And if I don't look it's not that I don't know you're there If you drink too much I can drive you home just like always If I think too much will you not leave me alone We are always crashing into it Trapped under the sleeping tide and waiting for the wave that makes us rise out over the arching sea to the rhythms of our hearts and bodies Not at the same time Never at the same time I want to breathe each word you speak Kiss the warm skin beneath your cheek We are always crashing into it

Underneath a sky split by fences of fire two defendants hide but are seen Through forests that have fled burned as black as the moon and rivers that have run to ravines Could you carry the waiting world on your shoulders Could you carry the waiting world A witness on the run, a defendant in love Listening for engines coming round the curve Unrequited greed, people take more than they need More than they can hold, more than they deserve Could you carry the waiting world on your shoulders Could you carry the waiting world Too scared to be set free and you can't say you're sorry No you can't say you're sorry It's not good enough Second to the last Your dreams die faster than fast Second to the last one of all Could you carry the waiting world on your shoulders Could you carry the waiting world Too scared to be set free and you can't say you're sorry No you can't say you're sorry It's not good enough
