Two Years (Lyrics)

I'm dressed up like before,
Like before I lost it all.
I'm caught up in the night before,
I've been caught up for years.

And we know what only drunkards know.
We've gone where only drunkards go.

And I've been gone for too long,
Two years I've been away.
You said it's time to come down,
And everything is better when you're around.

There may be time for hesitation,
Though you know I hate to stop.
It's springtime when you're here,
Though I know you love the cold and chill of winter.

Danny (Lyrics)

Run, run, Danny, run
If you can hear me calling, won't you come back home
Cuz you've been down for too long

And I wish that we would want what's best for us,
But you and me, we just won't get it right..
It's our underage pretension,
We're not sold on anything

And I would be ok if I could just slow down.
And you would be ok if you could just come down,
Cuz you've been high for too long

And I guess the blind just follow the blind,
But it would ease my worried mind
If my eyes could rest on you for a while

And we could pretend we were small again
And we could pretend your life is not the mess it is.
And I could pretend I could hide away,
Oh, I could pretend I'm not worried all the time,
Cuz I been troubled too long

Lay You Down (Lyrics)

Lay You Down (Lyrics)

Suburban kids commune with the city over radio
While I'm overwhelmed by the words on every window.
Words on every corner,
I see words on every window.

And we're always late,
We're always hurried.
We're always worried we won't make it to the end--
Oh, but I see the end.

It's when I'll sing Hallelujah,
Oh, and I'll pull you in,
It's when I'll sing Hallelujah,
Oh, and I'll lay you down.

And the leaves are falling down again,
They're fallin' down.
And the world comes apart,
I've seen it happen time and again.

But I'll find you in shade,
Like the trees that rise above it.
Oh, you rise above it.

And we've seen our lives played out on stage,
And we're tired of pressin' forward,
Tired of pressin' on.
And I'm tired of movin' forward,
Wanna stay just where we are.

Winter (Lyrics)

Winter (Lyrics)

It was coffeeshops and whiskey
We were floating down the Ohio River .
We were singing for strangers,
We were headed down the highway,
I said I'm packed up,
I'm ready to go.
But then the shops filled up
And I couldn't remember why I came

Cuz I'm sick to death of winter and
I'm sick to death of you

It was all night parties and
The summer streets at night,
It was the end of the world
And we knew it
But then the moon caved in
In all your yawning glory
And I said maybe I'm just
Tired of being underwhelmed

And I see you're still doing
That big country show.
And meanwhile my touchstones
Have faded in and out and I said
Baby, I'm just no good, no good for you

No Way Out (Lyrics)

No Way Out (Lyrics)

You're the light in the trees
And when you left me I don't know that I was surprised

And I'm afraid there's no way out.

A new moon shines through my window,
And you know I can't sleep.
So I said, ‘Don't lose your mind, whatever you do.'
Cuz I can't watch you fall
I can't watch you fall away.

And I find myself atop the stairs,
And I ain't said nothin'. No, I ain't said nothin'.

Alone (Lyrics)

Alone (Lyrics)

You love your reflection in my eyes,
Magnified three times your natural size.
And once I take you to that place,
You let me go.

And I wish you'd leave me alone,
Why do you leave me alone?

No one will ever be enough for you,
But you might just be enough for me.
You are my bad news,
You are my worn-out blues.

This Town (Lyrics)

This Town (Lyrics)

This world’s hard, but it’s not cold.
Cuz you have faith and you believe,
While I have dread.

But the sun is coming out on this here town.

I miss my voice when it’s gone, and it’s gone.
With your whispered words, you’re leading me on.
Lead on.

It’s a long and lonely walk,
When I’m walking from here to there.
And I know you. I fear I’m just like you.
We can’t take it, we can’t take it, we can’t take it.
