- Chasing Pirates2:41
Letra
In your message you said You were going to bed But I'm not done with the night So I stayed up and read But your words in my head Got me mixed up so I turned out the light And I, don't know how To slow it down My mind's racing From chasing pirates Well, I'm having the squeems While the silliest thing's Floppin' around in my brain And I try not to dream But them possible schemes Swim around, wanna drown me in sync And I don't know how To slow it down Oh, my mind's racing From chasing pirates And I don't know how To slow it down Oh, my mind's racing From chasing pirates My mind's racing From chasing pirates My mind's racing From chasing pirates - Even Though3:52
Letra
Something by the way he touched me was so slow The way he'd put his arms around me Even though I'm feeling lonely I'm feeling lonely Don't understand the words he said made me do wrong But now there is nothing else in my head And though it's strong I wish he'd leave me alone I wish he'd leave me 'Cause I know trouble will follow But I have to go, I have to go 'Cause I know trouble will follow But I have to go, but I have to go He makes me think that I don't know me So unsure when I remember all the things he showed me And I want more, I'm feeling lonely Oh, I'm feeling lonely - Light As A Feather3:53
Letra
While the seasons will undo your soul Time forgives us and it takes control But separate our things to put us back together We're light as a feather Heavy as the weather, If it was raining stones Put our hands together to applaud or pray It's like a show was over but we're too scared to walk away All for the better, worse for the way We're light as a feather Got you and I together Meanwhile outside me, it was raining stones You didn't know God bless your soul We're light as a feather Heavy, as the weather We're light as a feather Got you and I together - Young Blood3:38
Letra
I'll pretend my heart's not on fire If you steal my true love's name Broke down subway in this city of spires Tape your picture over his in the frame We'll imagine we're sleeping revolvers Shotgun wedding in a strange SoHo Our chambers hold silvery collars Gun down werewolves wherever we go We gun down werewolves wherever we go Midnight phone calls in the back of a Mustang Creased white pages torn right from the spine Kissed my neck with a crooked, cracked fang You always hoped one day you'd be mine Threw our fathers on funeral pyres I'm not sure we were playing a game Busted gasket in a field full of liars No one noticed we set five boroughs aflame No one noticed we set five boroughs aflame Young blood, young bone Old ghosts go home Band of gold with a diamond implied You wrote letters that you never sent I made promises I'll always deny Now we'll never know what the other meant Watch is ticking like a heartbeat gone berserk Lost the chance to wind the key Roosters are nothing but clucking clockwork Our fears are only what we tell them to be Our fears are only what we tell them to be Drown the last of our matches Burn the rest of each other You were strongest when I ached for breath Through the thick of smoke we'll finally smother Young blood, young bone Old ghosts go home Young blood, young bone Old ghosts go home Young blood, young bone Old ghosts go home Young blood, young bone Old ghosts go home Young blood, young bone Old ghosts go home Young blood, young bone - I Wouldn't Need You3:30
- Waiting3:31
Letra
Hush now, watch the stars fall Into a fire wall I am waiting here Waiting for you to come home Sinking embers glow Melting icy snow And I am waiting here Waiting for you to come home And I watch them burn When will I ever learn? If I wait it doesn't mean You will return And I watch them burn When will I ever learn? If I wait it doesn't mean You will return Now all the stars have gone Faded into cracks of dawn And I'm still waiting here Waiting for you to come home I am waiting here Waiting for you to come home - It's Gonna Be3:12
- You've Ruined Me2:45
- Back To Manhattan4:10
Letra
I'll go back to Manhattan As if nothing ever happened When I cross that bridge It'll be as if this don't exist I've a prince who is waiting And a kingdom downtown I'll go back to Manhattan As if nothing ever happened We don't have to speak at all I won't look in your eyes And I won't have to fall We don't have to speak at all But Brooklyn holds you And holds my heart too What a fool I was to think I could live in both worlds We don't have to speak at all I won't look in your eyes And I won't have to fall We don't have to speak at all I should go back to Manhattan It's just a train ride away I know nothing 'bout leaving But I know I should do it today - Stuck5:16
Letra
You shove your way Through the room from the street And finally to me You ask me what I'm drinking My friend Johnny Tugging on my sleeve Asks if I wanna leave But what I'm really thinking is Why can't it be easy, easy? Why don't you leave Leave me, leave me be? I can see you swaying I can't hear what you're saying I'm sitting here stuck And plastered to my seat I think up a reason to leave When you finally stop speaking I'll take a long slow Walk down Washington Street Half asleep on my feet Half aware if I'm dreaming I'll go home alone, a sinking stone A switched off telephone I'll go on, be free, a frozen breeze A fallen down factory But I still see you swaying And I can't hear what you're saying I just lost the plot, got a little caught In a little knot I just hit a wall had a little fall Felt the swinging wrecking ball And why should that be? Why don't you tell me? Why don't you tell me? I'm sure you'll tell me Why don't you tell me? I guess you'll tell me, tell me - December3:06
Letra
December, come to me I hope I can see You're not just in dreams I will let you be Why can't you believe How much you really mean? December, won't you come Back with snow, even sun? Don't say that it's done I will carry you home Take you from the loneliest place You have known I will carry you home Take me from the loneliest place I have known - Tell Yer Mama3:26
Letra
I won't cry for you When the night grows long And I won't die for you Because you done me wrong So tell your mama I said hello And that she raised you too damn slow You're too damn slow Too damn slow 'Cause I've been waiting For your time And I've been missing Out on mine So tell your father that I said so long And thanks for raising you so damn wrong You're so damn wrong You're so damn wrong, so damn wrong - Man of the Hour2:57
Letra
It's him or me that's what he said But I can't choose between a vegan and a pot head So I chose you because you're sweet And you give me lots of lovin' and you eat meat And that's how you became my only man of the hour You never lie and you don't cheat And you don't have any baggage tied to your four feet Do I deserve to be the one who will feed you breakfast, lunch and dinner And take you to the park at dawn Will you really be my only man of the hour? I know you'll never bring me flowers Flowers they will only die And though we'll never take a shower together I know you'll never make me cry You never argue, you don't even talk And I like the way you let me lead you When we go outside and walk Will you really be my only man of the hour? My only man of the hour My only man of the hour
