Never made sense to be your friend
I never had a problem with letting this end
Cheap shots come too easy the love too slow
A weight this heavy ain’t hard to release
Don’t mind paying when the prices are cheap
Shots come too easy and the love too slow
And I never had a problem with letting you go
These hands on the wheel don’t look like mine
Seen ‘em before familiar shape and line
But they ain’t gonna do the damage you done
There’s wolves in the woods when the sheep get together
Hounds in your head but now I got your measure
Nothing in the distance I don’t already know
You’re only ever angry or down
You’re never easy to be around
Been too long out in the weather
We’ve been trying to fix this forever and ever
Time ain’t no healer and I ain’t no fool
Ain’t gonna carry your cross or keep my cool
We both know which way this wind’s gonna blow
I never had a problem with letting you go

Every Night
04:26
|
|

Velvet lips speaking truth in the face of liars
Fingertips, trace my name in the sand tonight
Sinking ships, setting all that you love on fire
This is this, to the heavens I turned and I cried
And every night, through the darkness and the light,
We say our goodbyes
Poison gifts, given by the weak to the kind
Timid souls, scratching there mark in the wild
Love is bold, like a child pure as the night
And the cold truth, always gets found by the light
And every night, through the darkness and the light,
We say our goodbyes
And every night, through the darkness and the light,
We say our goodbyes
Silver shines in the corner of my blue eyes,
Punching blind into power and all of it's lies,
To the stupid and cruel, the greedy the fools
Say goodbye tonight
To the golden and true, the light's there for you
Turn your face to the sky
And every night, through the darkness and the light,
We say our goodbyes

I Must Be Somewhere
04:59
|
|

Up here with the moon
There’s so much room
I can feel you
I know that I can’t stay
But I’m up here anyway
Where I can feel you
Down there with the dust
And all that’s made to rust
I never found you
So I’m moving through the night
Like a broken satellite
Just looking for you
It’s all amazing grace
Up here between the space
No one can hear you
There’s no air to carry sound
Like down there on the ground
Where no one hears you
I’m making like a ghost
As I orbit up the coast
But I don’t see you
All the lakes have turned to ice
I miss you in my life
I’m looking for you
Always be looking for you
Wish I was where you are
But I ain’t no shooting star
I’ll never find you
Looking down upon the blue
It’s strange what people do
I’m looking for you
Always be looking for you

Nowhere (You Wanna Run)
03:49
|
|
||
You were standing in the back of the line
Empty pockets and no peace of mind
You drew the shortest straw they had
Thanked them for their trouble tipped your hat, yeah, you took it real bad
Now there's nowhere, nowhere that you wanna run
Now you've come undone
She decided that you were the one,
You decided you were tired, and you'd had your fun
Now you see that fire burning down
And there's no use in crying cos you're never gonna leave this town
Now there's nowhere, nowhere that you wanna run
Now you've come undone
You were standing in the back of the line
Empty pockets and no peace of mind
You never started, never tempted fate
And all that you learned is there's nothing worse than too late
Now there's nowhere, nowhere that you wanna run
Now you've come undone

Heartbreaker
03:11

You never broke my heart
You know I always thought you would
I was always looking out for it
You were always looking good
And you never broke my heart
I was always wasting time
All the time on my hands
I was busy making waves for us
While you were busy making plans
And I missed all the signs
Sleeping in the back seat like a fool
You can’t fix a broken wheel, honey
If you aint got the right tools
It aint no way to love you
Like I’m hooked on the fall
I keep on pretending
That I can’t love no one at all
I was always taking shots at you
Honey, more than you could stand
I was shooting for the heart
But you were only shooting cans
And I missed all the signs
Sleeping in the back seat like a fool
Tried to keep it on the rails
But I never really had the tools
It aint no way to love you
Like I’m hooked on the fall
I keep on pretending
That I can’t love no one at all
Photos in a biscuit tin
Boots underneath the bed
Somewhere out there on the wind
Is everything I should’ve said
And you never broke my heart

Night Wheels
03:31
|
|

Standing on the outside
Trying to make it right
Grew up kickin’ at the front fence
And lyin’ awake at night
I always had a notion
Someday I could get to you
My heart held an ocean
For the island i was swimming to
It’ll be the death of me
When I found you
It was beautiful like a song
Something bigger than love came down
I never knew that it could be so strong
So I'm standing on the outside
It all could’ve been so good
It’s strange it’s so hard to change
You know I did everything i could
Gonna drive this car like it’s stolen
Out into the dusty golden
Drive into the great wide open
Forget the way it feels
Let the night fall under my wheels
It’ll be the death of me

Everyday, Everyday
04:42

ou set your teeth like steel
Inside you are a spinning wheel
It wears you down
You know the lines you know the tricks
Hold it together but nothing sticks
It can wear you down
Follow the heart and not the head
Pretty sure that’s what they said
It can wear you down
Know the truth know how to lie
Get sad and then you get wise
It can wear you down
And you might find me out here if you choose to look
But you’ll never take me back or know how much you took
Everyday,
Everyday
No need to leave a lamp light on
No looking back from where i’ve gone
I won’t be coming round
There was nothing here to leave behind
I’ll keep a diamond in my mind
You’ll never wear me down
You might find me out here if you choose to look
But you’ll never take me back or know how much you took
Everyday,
Everyday

Dreamer
04:52
|
|

Walking on the rails they were shining in the rain
Trying not to break my teeth calling out your name
Dreaming of an end to all the things we gotta do
Dreaming of a life somewhere outside of me and you
Time it is a stealer
Can’t remember how it felt
Only a fool would shoot the dealer
Before the cards were even dealt
Tired of the talk and tired of the game
Rounding up the horses running loose inside my brain
Sent a message in a bottle but the bottle wouldn’t float
There was nothing I could do to fix the holes beneath the boat
Time it is a stealer
Can’t remember how it felt
I’m just a fool who shot the dealer
Before the cards were even dealt
So I balance on the rails
In the back streets of my mind
Fall in and out of place
I shake all down the line
Buckle under my own weight
And recover in my own time
Rattling the cages howling at the moon
Always something I was trying to say and you hanging up too soon
A piece of information somewhere loose upon the wind
Everything I had to give before our love was thinned
Time it is a stealer
Can’t remember how it felt
Only a fool would shoot the dealer
Before the cards were even dealt

Gold Rush Blues
04:35
|
|

A handshake deal by a roulette wheel and a crooked smile
Between you and me and the deep blue sea
They sold us out by the mile
It's the last, the last deal gone through
Leave's you and me with the gold rush blues
A back room scheme, bought sight unseen, selling hope for time
weigh the hours, weigh the cost
By the horizon line
Chasing silver, curse the air, they push on through
There's you and me with the gold rush blues
There's you and me with the gold rush blues
A paper trail, ghost town fire sale, a needles eye
Count their money, pockets full, while you count their lies
Slight of hand, vanished, leave no clues
Just you and me with the gold rush blues
Just you and me with the gold rush blues
There's you and me with the gold rush blues

By Now

No sleep tonight
I’m lost in the light
The words rattle under my brow
May be too far gone
To change what I did wrong
Thought I could’ve done that by now
I had a dream
I was chasing like a dog
It was shining like a leaf on a wet bow
I was gonna shake it
We were gonna make it
Thought i could’ve done that by now
Show me the escape
How to cut the tape
I don’t know if I can make it out
It’s on my chest
You always knew me best
I should probably know myself by now
Something’s got to break
How long can I stay awake
The weed ain’t working now
These things can rule your life
If you don’t make them right
But right could never do somehow
Show me the escape
How to cut the tape
I don’t know if I can make it out
It’s on my chest
You always knew me best
I should probably know myself by now
So I’m sitting tight
Outside your house tonight
The words rattle under my brow
Trying to find a line
Back to where you were mine
Thought I could’ve done that by now
