The Closer I Get
The Closer I Get 3:45
When I said I would try to be calm
I lied to prove myself wrong
the truth is in the details first,
and the writing's on the wall
and the closer I get to being strong,
the less to go wrong
When he said times are changing
I thought he meant times were changing
for the better but they weren't
the truth is in the details first,
and the writing's on the wall
and the closer I get to being strong,
the less to go wrong
Stride 2:46
Feeling good, feeling like I should
deep inside, I think I made the right decision here
You and I we take it all in stride
you and I rely on little things to get by
Feeling right, feeling OK to like you inside
I think I made the right decision here
You and I we take it all in stride
You and I rely on little things to get by
You and I rely on little things to get by
The Hazards of Sitting Beneath Palm Trees 2:43
With your summer hat and smile,
you came here to leave there
and as the sun stains your legs and your arms
the men arrive with their one track minds
and you like that they're there when they ask you the time
and they say what they do and they'll do what you say
and they'll tell you some lies if you let them stay
And you laugh, but not too hard
and you look but not too far
your eyes drift across the beach
and just before you reach me he speaks
his face is red and he is talking degrees
and you get up to leave as the sun hits the trees
and you jump in the water with him at your feet
and I laugh, but not too hard
and I look but not too far
Bullet 5:09
I turned the radio up a bit
rolled the window down and took it in
I'm going too fast but I don't give a shit
because something's chasing me and I have to win
It makes sense to forget what it takes
I found a bullet outside my door
I think it's me it was intended for
It makes sense to forget what it takes
Waiting For A Chance To See Her 2:39
*no lyrics*
Two Doors 5:14
I saw you in line when I checked in
and I thought that you smiled but I'm uncertain
I know all the lines but they don't work for me
so I just turned away and let it be
There's only two doors in between us
I've got a bucket and I'll get some ice
we'll watch a movie and we'll feel alright, tonight
we'll watch a movie and we'll feel tonight
On the way to my room I saw you in the hall
our rooms were side by side in this huge hotel
I could hear through the walls you were watching what I was
so I picked up my guitar and I wrote this for us
There's only two doors in between us
I've got a bucket and I'll get some ice
we'll watch a movie and we'll feel alright, tonight
we'll watch a movie and we'll feel tonight
we'll watch a movie and we'll feel tonight
Between Us To Hold 2:06
I taught you to play guitar last night
we'd been sick for days and we were stuck inside
and I held your arm as you hit the strings
and I pressed your fingers down and started to sing
The heater was shaking because the city was cold
and my favorite guitar was between us to hold
and I held your arm as you hit the strings
and I pressed your fingers down and started to sing
Better Off Inside 3:02
Did you open your eyes when you first saw me
Did you open your eyes when you first saw me
It's funny how things make sense when you're lonely
it's funny how you want more whne you're happy
I'm coming over, will you open the door for me
I'm better off inside
In your eyes I see you in disguise
you're talking bacwards, telling lies
It's funny how things make sense when you're lonely
It's funny how you want more when you're happy
I'm coming over will you open the door for me
I'm better off inside
Instrumental With Mellotron 2:20
*no lyrics*
Memphis 3:37
How do you protect a forty-two year old from himself
I saw on TV, his road manager speak of his demise
The pain is here, and it won't be long
In Memphis, tens of thousands of fans paid there respects
The pain is here, and it won't be long
Nights Like These 2:48
My loneliness brings me down
When the air is this cold I'm allowed to have nights
like these where I can't be found
When my thoughts are fears I'm bound
I told you the day before last, something tells me this is the best
things will get and I'll be left with dreams I had but never kept
You Are All I Have 5:17
You are all I have
If you go away I don't think I will survive
I'll wait outside the front door till you arrive
the light of day will shine inside of your eyes
inside your eyes I see me there by your side
Am I all you have
If I go away I know that you will survive
You're stronger than me I have just realized
you won't be outside the front door till I arrive
the light of day will shine inside of your eyes
I'll Tell Him Tonight 3:41
I remember the day it came
flashing lights and sirens rang
it took you and put you inside
I walked around the house ten times
and I'm writing down to let you know
that I love you it doesn't show
when we argue about the car I want you to know
that I am so thankful that you're here
How come everything has to change
I wish we were four and six and in the rain
when we were six and eight we dressed the same
when we were twenty-four and twenty-six
I wrote this down
and I'm coming down to let you know
that I love you, oh it doesn't show
when we argue about the car
I want you to know
that I am so thankful that you're here
