VERSE 1 we stuck together, you and i, like glue but that was before you said there was somebody new you packed up everything you own and wrote me out a final note and it read just like a suicide i tried so hard to keep us alive CHORUS 1 you got it in your head some things are better dead you lost my number and your never gonna call again time wouldn't let us be together you and me i sent ya flowers from overseas VERSE 2 and all that i wanted a digital love and to see you every few months to get on a plane and come right back home where you could heal my broken bones but you were here and now you're gone a dissapearin' act gone wrong in the dead of night, on the very next flight two carry ons held all your life (and)

VERSE 1: you were standin alone on a balcony overlookin our fair city and all that i wanna know is why you're gonna throw me to the wolves when they're most hungry CHORUS: well we're comin along just fine in the middle of the wintertime we got a little bit of money saved and got a little one on our way VERSE 2: you put on too much sun screen now you haunt my beach just like the ghost i thought i left in my house last night and you don't catch no waves you just gimme that face my love like you're too good for us but i won't make a fuss now

VERSE 1 Later, I saw you on the buses and subways That morning, you didn’t blink Dark lonely seats, between you and me The cinema all but was empty BRDIGE We forgot the goodbye We forgot the goodbye We broke no one’s hearts but dammit we tried VERSE 2 Later, I saw you Your silhouette, your face It was all the same, unchanged and Clint started to bleed on the movie screen but your face was flat as slate (but your eyes were gray as slate) CHORUS you're so temptin when you don't let me go i let you go you were bound to bend and break our city apartments are wooden boats we float apart and water's risin every day
5.
somethins wrong when you tell a joke and no one laughs and you wanna choke on the words that left your mouth pack your bags we'll move down south where people talk like everyday folk not about the novels they wrote or who their wearin on their back pretention sets in till you feel trapped i wanna be in the country side i hope you packed you're beautiful mind cuz this party is old and stale lets move somewhere we can't get mail all i wanted was some love recognition from above but my words they were ignored but i'm my own savior and lord ooooooo i shouldn't be lovin you

My Love 03:12
you were sick i could see it you've been ridden down right into the ground well i'll take you out to greener land lemme lead ya right by your hand my love well you've been kicked, you've been beat and scratched you've been hit upside your head with a slap and i let it happen, no i ain't too proud i was standin in the silent crowd my love my love well we try and make it all right it only happens late at night when we're layin in your queen-sized bed and all the wine has floated to your head my love my love
7.
Sea Legs 03:02
you gotta get your sea legs right quick cuz this subway is a sinkin ship this city can swallow you whole captain ahab in a sea of petrol the cars and scooters swirled around a tornado of lights and sounds but you'll be alright if you pretend that your home is in your head everytime my city gonna let me down i let go take it to the coast and then I ride until the sun go hide in the horizon gotta find it by tomorrow and when it finally rises it'll be over the best coast
8.
Strays 03:22
you better listen up ya hear somethin's gotta change my dear we can't go on livin like this frightened sirens cryin dreamin of a white picket fence is never gonna make much sense cuz all we got are beds of cement a portrait of a languid vagrant you just gotta let me know where it is you wanna go cuz i know we'll make it out of this town one last hit now you threw me out at long last dumped me on the corner like trash so pick me up and put me back together i'm all pieces scattered
