[And] Tell me that thoughts are like seashells Washed up on the beach there, Wherever you are. And if you decided to listen closely, Faintly, you'd here me say, "I do" The sun fell off her string, And fell right into the sea. But I didn't mind the darkness around your every lie And so we said goodbye, On the alibi of springtime But I could not let you go: The things you can't forget They char your soul, And I still feel the ache Of a love that did take me far from home Just to be alone...

Right Now 04:22
Say what you said to me That night last when I was sober and you were fading. I saw through the smoke in your regret, But I held you like a last cigarette; Know you'll kill me, But don't burn out yet... I'll be what I said I'd be. I tried not to but I can't help it and you won't stop me. You always leave when you say you'll leave, And that's okay, 'cause who's stopping you? Maybe someday, yeah, I'll know how to The weather gets colder here every summer, The winters are longer than the distance between The flight I could catch from here to California, And stand in your doorway to see The light in your eyes will shine a little brighter, And I could take you in my arms. I like the way that we move as you show me the room, I'm coming right now, baby, right now for you (Right now for you) Take what you will from me, And hold tight to what you cling to if it's worth the reaching. I'll be where I said I'd be; In that place where I still like to dream. Yeah, in that place between awake and asleep Whenever the sun goes down We can run around this city. And maybe we'll take some time, Just you and I, To find our way through the stars, And baby this time we'll know, No matter how far the coast I'll always come home to you

Move 03:28
And I ain't got no clue, But I'm taken by the things you do. [And] the words come out so easily; Get caught up on my jealousy And still I held my tongue And if you wanna run, I'll be right here. It's your party so All these people you ought to know; I'll get your coat And I'll keep real quiet As I slip into the room, And make up all your lies... And I watch you move As you fall into the groove; You know you, you get me high And I don't want to come down, Yeah, I need you right here now But I saw him catch your eye, As I kissed your cheek And we said goodbye. [And] the moon shown with a colder hue, As the clouds rolled in to block his view And still you held his gaze, And played the games you play As an escape. I sold my dreams, And what's left of my memory Is there for sleep Where the hours move, Like the seasons changing the colors; When I, I think of you... Oh, you make me sway And bend beneath the weight of every passing day Knowing that you'll never come 'round; Oh, I been missing you for weeks now. And I don't want to go out; I know I'm letting myself down, And it feels the same

I've been to my share of one too many funerals, And I can't replace the ones you love. I fell for the chase and not for the one I was chasing, Oh, and you'll learn to hate what I become. And I could tell you anything you wanted to hear, But the truth is all you need. And I could try, To pull myself down from the heights of the attic. I'm so high, I'm not a bad guy I just got my bad habits, You could try to be understanding. I held that girl close and told her that I loved her, As we lay there kissing in the dark. I hate to be the one to bring up incandescence, But I can't seem to find my... Sparks, I said that I would and I'll try but forget it, I see stars; Forgot my head in the clouds, Memory is pathetic. I'm so high, so be understanding.

It was a chilly night in the dead of winter; Going out to a gift exchange at the Pastor's house. The mood was light and a coziness did fill the air, I found myself a place in a rocking chair. And you were all I knew, So I fell in love with you. I made up my mind and checked my pulse for warning signs; Put on a happy face and assumed that place. The room got quiet as I chose myself a gift that night, I found my Christmas wish in a candy dish. And I could not refuse, So you just had to choose. Christmas-time and coffee; Morning light and candy canes. I gave you chocolate kisses, You gave me such a bellyache. Take your time on me love; Wrap my head in cellophane. You're looking so delicious, It's just lack of air to my brain. I fight to keep awake, And to keep my demons all away; We play this stupid game, And I feel the same. You get real close and for a moment it's just you I see, If I only knew what you stole from me. Then I would have to choose, But you I just can't lose. And at the end when we all say our final goodbyes, I couldn't bring myself to look you in the eyes. The night was young but you and I we feel so old; Come over and warm yourself, Let's get out this cold. But you would just refuse, But I, I'd melt with you. Christmas-time and coffee; Morning light and candy canes. I gave you chocolate kisses, You give me such a bellyache. Take your time on me love; Wrap my head in cellophane. You're looking so delicious, It's just lack of air to my brain.
