She Always Catches Me
01:40
|

She don't pay me no mind when I'm naked
Standing here before her in the flesh
She don't pay me no mind when I'm charming
Not a spark or a smirk on her lips
She doesn't bother with her man when he's singing
We're working or we need the rest
I would guess every man who's held her
Has got the same song floating from his chest
If I'm pulling up weeds
Or hitching fences
Must be expected or my work's just that unimpressive
One might think she doesn't notice me at all
But she always catches me when I'm doing something wrong
Yeah She always catches me
Said she had my number all along

Mean Time

Oh regret
Hangs heavy ‘round your neck
You trusted in silence
Left each moment an island, oh
But You were a mountain
Of reckless Abandoned
(Til you) Tripped on a canyon &
shed your companion
Oh in the Mean time x3 … It was not kind x2
Oh I'd ill lie
Tell you it was mine
We're pros at pretending
That its never ending
Now my coven of outlaws
Don't let it come out wrong
(When we sing)
Fa La la la la la la
Lala la lalalala
&oOh in the Mean time x3 ... It was not kind
Once we were younger
Funer and dumber
Promise a fading now yr
In the cab waiting
Now We mirror the bitter
Although we know better
Whether or not we were ready to change
Oh In the mean time x3 … -do do- -do do--
Oh in the mean time
These hearts still remember
Fala la lalalalada
For the lost and departed
And those that yet to get started
Falalalalalalala
Mean time
Was not kindx2
Mean time
Was not kindx2

Bad News

Noah screamed from the bow of the arc
Lord is this all you've got
We caught eyes from across the bar
Is it not meat thou art
Sure it's sad
But here I am
At the ink (on your back) where your belt
Meets your tan
And they warned me about you yeah
They all said (that) you ...were
Bad news
We were Abel ceremoniously slain
There At the bank stood regretfully Cain
Their best guess it was something she ate
We arrived at the ER a day too late
(Took her to) (got to)
(Drove to )
Just happened once but that's
Quite enough
For the tiniest of bugs
Get the better if us
Now it's hard to find peace
Cuz, every time the phone rings
Bad news
Mary gasped as they mocked her son
W the cross on the back of the chosen one
And children shake with their books on their backs
(Good guns to protect from the guns that they have/guns that are bad)
(Armed guards see to that they safely pass)
And sure it's sad
But here I am (we've been had)
Little boys (on the street)( with) seen too much
Eyes glazed over like men
Will this fight make us safer
see everytime i open the paper
Bad news
Hallelujah sang Peter and Jude
As their hands touched the flesh of their savior's wounds
Under fire; on the grounds; double crossed
We believe we believe we believe at what cost
Sure it's sad but here I am
Airing yesterday's fight over the promised land
it's so far from me But everytime I put on the tv
Bad News

Nothing At All
04:07
|

What could you mean by that
Nothing at all
And what good could come of this
Nothing at all
I hear what you're saying
But I know what I saw
Guess were better just taking the fall
I mean, it's better than nothing at all
I heard your father say
Nothing at all
Even on Christmas Day
Nothing at all
Then when your mama passed to the good lord he called
Could've let slip something so small
That'd been better than nothing at all
What has become of us
Nothing at all
We used I talk so much 'bout
Nothing at all
Then came the New Year's Day
When it all fell apart
A truth so wide and so tall
That we're held up by nothing at Alli
Don't worry
It was nothing at all
We always fight when we hurry
Over Nothing at all
Give it to me straight sir
Can you tell me how long?
We should grasp (at) this dirt and crawl
Bc it's better than nothing at all
Shoot me straight, sir
Have you gathered the answers?
What's all of this worth?

Winter Keeps Me
03:19

Winter keeps me walking crooked over straight lines.
Winter keeps me covered
Winter keeps me blind
Winter keeps me hunted
From a bow I know I wield
Wild
while we may feel
-
Winter keeps me humble
With this water to my knees
Winter keeps my nights up
Listing absentees
Winter almost had me
Lay down my arms
Despite each yarn
We'd spun before
-
Until - we will - and we will- until
-
It s no wonder that the wonder
Slowly disappears
Even winner's lay wasted
By this wicked year
Her Blue eyed distance
Down on the avenue
I've been troubled -but hey-
what's new w you?
Until - we will - and we will- until
Winter keeps me walking crooked over straight lines.
Winters got us cornered
Winter keeps our kind

Never Give Up The Heart
02:07
|

You chase your son right up the aisle
Of a Church thou you hardly go
Some may come
Some come apart
But don't ever give up their heart
If we're run aside
In the twisty tide
If we light this whole damn arc
We were Mondays rule
We were sitting dark
But never gave up the heart
In the wicked rain
We stand now unnamed
We were battered and broke apart
pray the roaming winds
Though we could restart
'Cause we never give up the heart

Little Dings

Little dings and other things
Add up
Until you're stuck
Outta luck
you couldn't give a fuck
you were just
some distant sound
after the beep, before the pound
From a payphone in the lonesome west
But I can't promise you anything
You know, darling, that's the thing
I just want to so bad
Little dings on shiny things add up
Until your stuck
Like the wreck of an old pick up truck
You were lost all along
I wrote you a song
It was wicked but never mentioned your name
Bc I can't promise you anything
you know darling, thats the thing
I want to so bad
So lets douse it in kerosene
Make the biggest noise they've ever seen
Scatter the seeds
So we can do it again next spring
You know I try my best
To play these close to my chest
I mean, I want to so bad.
So lets douse it in kerosene
Our love, Adeline & Marie
Who gathered the seeds
So we could do it again next spring.

Used To

Picking up the pictures that fell off the shelf
You carry out what you brought in
Know your mama loves you from the way
she signed her letters
She wrote to you each time you went away.
Just thinking about the way you used to x3
It can’t be bad when you expect it get worse
Everything you hold is bound to be left
This boy lies or sits in his chair
He can sleep just fine when he wants to
(Yeah I sleep just fine when I want to)
But got no reason to get up early
They’re fishing for us with worms
Got no worries there ain’t no problems
At least, nothing we can’t sleep off.
Just thinking about the way you used to x3
With no one left to disappoint,
if you could hold me
Just hold me.
Hold me so I can let it go.
Coming to terms with the mug you were stuck with
Our job it to watch things disappear
And the Shipping canal is flexing it’s muscles
We walk into church and we sit.
We go to church and just sit there
Just thinking about the way you used to x3

Done
Never seen something so done
Light it up with only one
That we struck across the back
Some one told me that the sum
Of it all when it's done
Is the good we've left behind
And as we roll it back we see the rings
That start out small then grow then start to shrink
There's really not as much time as we think
Guess what were doing
As were guests
All the haunts stand unimpressed
Til they're ruble on the ground
And mine is the remnants of my mind
And the seeds we've left behind are still floating with the sound
An as it hits the walls they plainly hear
Your sorrow filled echoes of despair
For when we said it then nobody cared ...that it was their's
Home well it may feel like were home
But our souls were made to roam
We're the lightning in the storm
And words that you thought went unheard
were just hiding with the birds from the rumble that you'd born
And out of all the turmoil a resolve
To say our peace and how we came to solve
for ours have passed yey somehow this survived
And Now it's your time
