And I've got a story to tell you someday Sentimental values sometimes just get in the way And it, it holds you up and leads you astray The windows are closing and opportunities are slipping away I wanna be here next year but I don't wanna be here tonight and they say the neighbors have given up and died is there anything wrong with a few white lies? And some say a picture paints a thousand words but read between the lines and see what you can find the questions to answers and truths in a line there's so many people in this world that's it hard to say goodbye to I wanna be here next year but I don't wanna be here tonight and they say the neighbors have given up and died is there anything wrong with a few white lies? She moved to the country The captain moved overseas The drummers in the city, driving those crowded streets And I'm on this island walking on highways and starting at trees I drive by that house sometimes and wonder if it still owns me I wanna be here next year but I don't wanna be here tonight and they say the neighbors have given up and died is there anything wrong with a few white lies?

This pub in Provincetown feels like someone I know in southern Ohio it's starting the years first snow and my step brother's ashes hang around his Mother's neck like a halo Ribbons hide the scars and the tender heart in you Sunday is just another day for us to be closer to the future that we will reach And it seems that things are kinda shaky without a dream And on a tired day in July He Became Air A little taste of the tide and letting the grip just slip on things And it seems to be the only choices are comfort or freedom Ribbons hide the scars and the tender heart in you Sunday is just another day for us to be closer to the future that we will reach And it seems that things are kinda shaky without a dream Circadian misalignment is a curse that you feel all day The credit cards in your purse won't buy you a goddamned thing And it seems to be the only choices are comfort or freedom

O Sole Mio 03:48
I stole your birthday and Canada too Island adjustment eyes black and blue The Lighthouse keeper keeps the coastline bring Like a Xmas tree in the middle of the night And O Sole Mio, So What? The night will end soon enough The Sun will dance. Trees will sway They'll say farewell to yesterday A peaceful living room on a quiet day I've got so many reasons to stay Never come down until it's time to leave It's better to save yourself and to breathe And O Sole Mio, So What? The night will end soon enough The Sun will dance. Trees will sway They'll say farewell to yesterday

Silver Sound 04:01
Take a look into the banks below Forgive me if my feet are moving slow My eyes have grown accustomed to the grey and I hate to go my separate way Silver Sound I dream beside her everynight Silver Sound my heart is with her good and tight Silver Sound how do I walk away? I hardly smell the water on the wind Making tracks I cannot make again I know the coast is coated with your gold but silver is what I long to hold Silver Sound I dream beside her everynight Silver Sound my heart is with her good and tight Silver Sound how do I walk away?
