1.
Well I was looking for a destination, And a line in the sand to start from. I lay down on holy ground, Straining for an uncharted sound. All I needed was a conversation, With a brother in arms, got a voice like a neon sign. Take my lies, turn them into stories all the time. And if I fall down, I know you’ll believe in me All my plans are broken, All my lines are stowed. I won’t let you sing this song alone. I won’t let you sing this song alone. And I was searching for a constellation, And a place in the sky to point to and rest my eyes. I’m on fire, like I lived a lifetime on the wire. And if I fell down, I know you’d believe in me All my plans are broken, All my lines are stowed. I won’t let you sing this song alone. I won’t let you sing this song alone. I knew you’d believe in me. Yeah, all my plans are broken, All my lines are stowed, I know I can’t sing this song alone. I won’t let you sing this song. You know I will sing along. I know I can’t sing this song alone. You’re not alone! You’re not alone!

Not For Us 02:53
I’ve been taking cheap thrills I think are dreams. But all our heroes that can sing this song, They never seem to last that long. Oh, why! This feeling that’s inside. Well do I bite my tongue or say goodbye? Cause it’s not for us! No it’s not for us! No it’s not for us! It’s not for us! Splitting off in two rooms without a view. I think this crawl that slices through my skin, Makes me think I’m far too in to stop. You’re dropping off the block. So maybe we just need a new mantra. That it’s not for us! No it’s not for us! No it’s not for us! It’s not for us! No, no, no, no, no, no! I’ve been taking cheap thrills I think are dreams But all our heroes said the same damn thing! That it’s not for us! No it’s not for us! No it’s not for us! It’s not for us!

Alabama 03:28
You know I’m always gonna let you down again: Someones gonna get hurt. Oh you thought I was a knight in armor? Well baby, it gets worse. I always had myself a fantasy, About a woman with a neon soul. And I was on the radio, And you were in the know Cause you’re leaving for the summer, from the city, Back to Alabama, where your money came from. I smoked so long, I don't think I can rebuild the fire. You’re leaving for the summer. Back to Alabama, where the people want you around again, Like a willow in a wanderin’ wood. And I see you’re on your own again, Like baby I wish I could But you’re leaving for the summer, from the city, Back to Alabama, where your money came from. I smoked so long, I don't think I can rebuild the fire. You said I had a problem in the city, That I should try the water where your mama comes from. I hoped so long, I don’t think I can walk on the wire, Goodbye girl, You’re leaving. Back to Alabama. Back to Alabama Back to Alabama

Out East 03:44
Make a wish in a well. Don’t ask and I’ll never tell, Of all those modern sins. How could we forget, When our time was short, And the day so long. Just trying to tune out, whatever we got on. Rewind to 2009, when I first left the state. You can tatter it up, And I’ll throw out the date. But picture perfect is cruel, If you can’t say that name. Don’t worry I’m cool. Let’s just get out of this place. Cause I’ll be out East until it’s over, Making sense by the sea from all that’s broken, Wrapping up sweets and skipping the darkness, Just trying to believe that we could be what we want. Well I know you best when you’re walking that line. Left could be what’s right to buy a little more time. Oh and it might snow if you want it to, Don’t you go cold about what we been through. Cause I’ll be out East until it’s over, Making sense by the sea from all that’s broken, Wrapping up sweets and skipping the darkness, Just trying to believe that we could be what we want. We could be what we want, yes we could be what we want! And I could be what I want, and I might do it a lot! Oh now you? You can be there, too! We’ve just got to believe we can be what we want!

Hold Her 03:56
If you want to hold her, there she goes. If you want to know her deep down in your soul, Well there a million things I’d rather do, Than to set on down that road. But if you want to love her, I’ll take the load. If you want to hold her, there she goes. If you want to know her deep down in your soul, Well they’re a million things I’d rather do, Than to set on down that road, though, If you want to love her, I’ll take the load. Love will find a way, Getting harder every day. Yeah, love is gonna find that way! If you want to hold her, there she goes. If you want to know her deep down in your soul, Well there a million things I’d rather do, Than to set on down that road, though, But if you want to love her, I’ll take the, oh, I’ll take the load! Love will find a way, Getting harder every day. Love is gonna find that way! If you want to hold her, there she goes. If you want to know her deep down in your soul. Oh, you want to hold her, there she goes. If you want to know her deep down in your, oh deep down in your soul! There a million things I’d rather do, Than to set on down that road, though, But if you want to love her I’ll take the load. Yeah there are a million, million things to do Than to set on down that road, though, If you wanna love her I’ll take the load!

Lose You 03:48
With every word I say, I’m trying to lose you. How come i’m so blind, There’s nothing left to lose? I must be broken somewhere. Inside me, it’s somewhere, That only you can see. These things you do to me With every touch I place, I’m trying to unfold you. So I can crease you again, And put you away. Where only I know, somewhere. It’s secret, that’s somewhere, That only you can see. These things you do to me. Because if I’m standing all alone I’m not dancing. You need to pick me up on the dance floor. And then get me swinging to the rhythm. With every word I say, I’m trying to lose you. How come i’m so blind, There’s nothing left to lose? I must be broken somewhere. Inside me, yeah it’s somewhere, That only you can see. These things you do to me And if I’m standing all alone I’m not dancing. You need to pick me up on the dance floor. And then get me swinging to the rhythm. I’m just trying to lose you! With every word I say!

I'm No Hero 03:58
I’ve been waking up in my sleep. Because you’ve been rolling in the deep. But babe I won’t go out, If the sun ain’t down. I been waking up in my sleep, Cause I know soon you’ll think of marrying me. And I’m not the man I think you want me to be: I’m no hero. You think there’s nothing wrong with me, That I’m like a captain on a calm sea. But baby there’s an ocean that you can’t see, I’ll say goodnight and go. You’ve been running all along. Because I been up way too long. So baby come on out, The sun ain’t down. I been waking up in my sleep, Cause I know soon you’ll think of marrying me. And I’m not the man I think you want me to be: I’m no hero. You think there’s nothing wrong with me, That I’m like a captain on a calm sea. But baby there’s an ocean that you can’t see, I’ll say goodnight and go. I been waking up in my sleep. But I don’t make a sound, When I’m crying out. I been waking up in my sleep, Cause I know soon you’ll think of marrying me. And I’m not the man I think you want me to be: I’m no hero. You think there’s nothing wrong with me, That I’m like a captain on a calm sea. But baby there’s an ocean that you can’t see, I’ll say goodnight and go.

Ninth Avenue 03:24
Walking down 9th Avenue. Saw the two brothers that we saw on the roof. It’s getting late and you want me to go. Well I got the news baby: I can’t let you go Cause it just felt so right! Won’t you stay another night? And when this fantasy is dead, We can say all the things unsaid. And treat it like a play. And baby, you can be my friend anyway. Liters deep at that bowling hall. No hands in the photo or someone might catch on. We’ve slept in late. Can’t miss the limo. But I got the news baby, I can’t let you go. Cause it just felt so right! Won’t you stay another night? And when this fantasy is dead, We can say all the things unsaid. And treat it like a play. And baby, you can be my friend anyway. Cause it just felt so right! Won’t you stay another night? And when this fantasy is dead, We can say all the things unsaid. And treat it like a play. And baby, you can be my friend anyway.
9.
I can’t think about it. I can’t think around it. I hope that June comes with all this behind us. I know we’ll turn this around. Cause Tennessee’s waiting. The red sign will save me. But I drink every night to quiet the sound of the storm, For now. The west side of the island, is there if i just close my eyes. A frame calling strikes, every line, As I’m drumming my show. Mi Sueno Eterno. And amidst all this fog, I lost my big shot. Cause reality’s gone, And I’m just holding on with strength that’s left. The west side of the island, is there if i just close my eyes. A frame calling strikes, every line, As I’m drumming my show. Mi Sueno Eterno.
