How I Know 03:16
lyrics
buy track
I slept through the storm Woke up for the flood washed up alone and abroad Learned to swim and I dug A tunnel through the earth and came out on the other side of... Now I captain this mattress Across the carpet, along this atlas But I still have this Anchor in my head that weighs down my bed Meet me where the waves Waves break through the ground Wait and I'll come up for air Dig the surf and you will drown Sand soaked by the snow Soul worked to the bone Found some sound under the sheets Took to the sea and let it go Woke up in my home And I was alone Looked out the window That's how I know Drifting back to sea Noises follow me The distance in between That's how I know I put my faith in you And you faithfully made believe you trusted me too The storm washed over me And I got wet but I never got clean A love that stays with me Cradled in a dream I'm not going anywhere Just floating out to sea Disappearing is easy If no one sees you leave I'm not going anywhere Just floating out to sea

A Writer That Doesn't Write 01:56
lyrics
buy track
I should, I could, I can't and I know I won't I say what I don't mean so nobody knows (I say I don't know know what I want) Too ashamed to defend Things that I've done and I've said Say I will, but I don't when I know that I could and I should There is nowhere left to go that I know Don't know what I want A plan no one liked So what makes yourself so special now When you define yourself by what you're not? They pushed you out the frame A singer that don't sing A secret know one keeps A writer that don't write And when it's done, we'll want this year back I'll want this, I accept that Fliers or liars I won't or I will So I left in the Wright way When courtesy failed

Cut That Wave 02:48
lyrics
buy track
She's gonna suck you in and and she'll spit you out She's gonna suck you in, make you twist and shout Can't see straight but can see all around Treading water standing on the ocean ground You gotta cut that wave (You' gotta ebb away) You gotta cut that wave (You will fall into into yourself) You gotta cut that wave (You gotta ebb away) You gotta cut that wave (You gotta run away from yourself) Soaking wet, I'm not worth the weight I'm not all this I'm not waving, I am drowning I'm not all this Can't float away, forced by the waves I'm not all this Being driven by being left behind I'm not all this A comedy of terrors, I'm drowning in laughter Stuck at the bottom staring up at the rafters It's getting darker but I'm all washed out Tide me over until she settles down

All I'm Waiting For 02:59
lyrics
buy track
I left pieces of me floating out in the sea It baited my heart and It tore into me Made a castle in the sand, and I rebuilt royalty Without apology, Caused casualty My heart falls to my hips as words fall from my lips It's all I'm waiting for but I can't wait much longer My blood sinks in the sea, it shakes my soul And I can feel the beat, but don't have the heart to... Paradise doesn't mean paradise when you leave Every bow that I took, took the power from me Took the blue from my eyes and put it into my veins Now they're a just pair of kites, and I'm floating away My heart falls to my hips as words fall from my lips It's all I'm waiting for but I can't wait much longer My blood sinks in the sea, it shakes my soul And I can feel the beat, but don't have the heart to dance

Rest my head up in the clouds Fall asleep on moving ground When the sun has washed me out in the shadow of a doubt Get out

Gone 03:10
lyrics
buy track
I'm gone and I don't belong where I am or where I'm from I got stuck in between how it is and how it should be You're the difference between disappearing and leaving I don't want you to stay, I just need you to wait I'm lost, I'm out of place Am I moving on or just moving away? I am mine to lose, mine to find Found myself and lost the time Are you waiting or have you gone? So I made a mistake, and she's mad at a dream And that's how I know you weren't waiting for me So you can't see the wood for the forest for the trees Islands of all sizes get lost in the sea

Used to Be 04:16
lyrics
buy track
So obsessed with talent only cameras can catch A past I'd rather forget Cause I know that I've done something wrong, but what? Sadly, I'm not the child that I used to be I miss my pets, I miss my family I have none of my own to look up to me We don't see, all the same stars When I'm awake, you sleep, when you're up, you just worry Cause you think that I've done something wrong, but what?

Accelerating 01:27

Her eyes were locked, my tongue was tied Our minds were lost, our hearts went blind We thought we'd overcome our differences in time But it ran out with her Now every minute reminds me we're lost

Chako Paul City 04:05
lyrics
buy track
I get so sleepy Please forgive me if I drift off during our wedding These traditional things are such a drag to me (You don't believe in true love) But I'll wake up when you leave (I don't believe in true love) You say you goto Cha-ke-bo Hide somewhere that is nowhere You waste your time When you tell me things like that Can't change your mind Once you go you don't come back Please, please don't leave me They're not as happy as they seem Come back to me, love And we'll wake up from this dream You cut your fingers Pretty little hands weren't made for manual labor They were meant for making up your lips and eyes (You don't believe in true love) Now nothing runs, when you cry (I don't believe in true love) I'm so sorry Drag my body Just to pass and bring you back They waste your time When they tell you things like that You change your mind Once you go you can't go back Please please, let's leave them They're not as happy as they seem Come back with me, love And we'll wake up from this dream

Romance Language 04:00
lyrics
buy track
She understands the language but she doesn't speak it I heard what she said, It didn't make sense I don't know what she meant Romantic, arguing semantics I know what I meant not what I said We went over our heads I can't say it sincerely when I'm not sure what it really means I can't say it any other way, another language, it's not the same Too busy with translation to stop and listen I was her third man in the third Rome The first romance language she couldn't learn alone (2)I am not myself when I'm not on my own/But I can't be myself when I'm in your home (3)The last romance language I'll learn on my own Took me in from the cold but she's got seven sisters They want me, want me on the street Filled with 60's spy film scenery Push and pull, stressing out our syllables She heard what I said but it don't make no sense She doesn't know what I meant I can't say it sincerely when I'm not sure what it really means I can't say it any other way, another language, it's not the same Too busy with translation to stop and listen I was her third man in the third Rome I am not myself when I'm not on my own (3)The last romance language I'll learn on my own I can't say it sincerely when I'm not sure what it really means I can't say it any other way, another language, it's not the same Too busy with translation to stop and listen I was her third man in the third Rome The last romance language that I'll ever learn alone

Want 02:05
lyrics

Tell me what I want and tell me what I need Cause I don't see it Tell me what I've lost and tell me where you'll be That's where I'm going Takes a captain to lead his men his men to mutiny From faith to fury Defect and decide what's wrong and who's right What's true and what's a lie A love I didn't earn is a love I can't return, a love I don't deserve I love you, goodbye I love you so I am leaving It's all that I want What do I want? What do you want?

The Lower 48 02:42
lyrics
buy track
If you go around the world, remember you will end At the same place that you began A painfully plain explanation For surviving in a place where other people live Just cause it's what you want, don't mean that you belong (Oh what do you want? It's never enough) You fit in but it doesn't mean that you belong You're surrounded but it doesn't mean you're not alone Sit and watch it spin Never leave again More Abbot than Costello Your wordplay is absurd You took some nouns hostage Declared a war on words Stories and phrases that do not translate You'll never rise above the lower 48 What do you know? I learned...I don't know

You commandeer my head I forget everything i said My arms are slowly losing tread I float away with no regret My ears are ringing Please forgive me if i drift away I drift out of a dream The noises follow me Its the distance in between It's how i know You read the stars, I do the math We cut the waves and carve a path I'm dreaming I was dead When the surf is up it fills my head
