It was her laughter
That first pulled me in
She was the ocean
And I couldn't swim
She was Joan of Arc
With a sailors mouth
She used fighting words
I tried to hear her out
And her eyes consumed me like a raging forest fire
I was thirsty kindling
She was white hot desire
Sometimes I let myself daydream
About where you went and who you'd be
But I'm not wasting away alone just me
Still who you been kissing, Josephine
Her eyes flashing like golden green
Pulling me deeper
Than I'd ever been
Honey words could fall gently from her mouth
Spoken quietly
I swore to hear her out
And her eyes consumed me like a raging forest fire
I was thirsty kindling
She was white hot desire
Sometimes I let myself daydream
About where you went and who you'd be
But I'm not wasting away alone just me
Still who you been kissing, Josephine
Well I'm not bothered that you found love after me
You make bridges of the coldest concrete
But I'd be lying if I said I didn't care
That you're living wild dreams somewhere
And I can't be there
Sometimes I let myself daydream
About where you went and who you'd be
But I'm not wasting away alone just me
Still, who you been kissing, Josephine
Still, who you been kissing, Josephine
Still, who you been kissing, Josephine

Scared Of The Sun
04:04

I
I didn't know you
We were young
I kept my distance
You were older
I was scared of the sun
And time crept by so slowly
I was fine
Letting you go
But now it's different
How your eyes they held mine
But maybe I could be the kind of girl that could love you
Maybe I could be the kind of girl who tried
My friends say you're something
Say you're wild
But know when to comfort
And that you're full of the wonder I left behind
Still I
I'm scared of the darkness
You might find
If I get too close to you
The stillness between us
The things I try to hide
But maybe I could be the kind of girl that could love you
Maybe I could be the kind of girl who tried
What if I've waited too long
Oh I'm sure you've just moved on
It's just wishful thinking I've changed
That it's not too late
That maybe you might just be the kind of girl that could love me
Maybe this could be our time I swear I will try
Well maybe I could be
Well maybe I could be
Well maybe I could be the kind of girl who tries

Strange Fire
04:19
|
|||
|
Forget everything I said
It came out fast and all in red
Nothings as simple as I made it
Passion tells lies to steal a moment
We'll go on just like we did
I'll pretend it's all in my head
Secrets seldom kill the keeper
But truth revealed is the buried knife plunged deeper
I swear I'll keep it to myself
I'll borrow time won't kiss and tell
Love burns long to sooth desire
To the grave I'll take this strange fire
Woman of my unrealized dreams
You have many names
Your face it's changed
You're a wanderer untamed
A balloon with no string
Despite all my gravity
You're so far above me
And it's not a crush or a game
I love you too much to risk a change
So I watch you fall for everyone else
I'll be here the crater to your crash
I swear I'll keep it to myself
I'll borrow time won't kiss and tell
Love burns long to sooth desire
To the grave I'll take this strange fire
I beg you let this be unrequited
You might be where my self control ends
Where my natural disaster begins
Please don't test me cos I fear
You'll wreak havoc in my atmosphere
So I'll just keep it to myself
I'll borrow time won't kiss and tell
Love burns long to sooth desire
To the grave I'll take this strange fire

Damn Jean
03:41
|

|
It was just a dream
The way your hands were in my hair
The way your lips moved on my neck
The way I kissed you and you gasped
I promise I don't see you like that
I got a baby and she loves me back
And I ain't looking for anything to happen
But damn, Jean
You're the hell of a tease in my dreams
I guess I'll be honest
You had me tripping in my subconscious
One moment you were hot for me
Then went and played it cold and aloof
And I promise I don't see you like that
I got a baby and she loves me back
And I ain't looking for anything to happen
But damn, Jean
You're the hell of a tease in my dreams
I told you I don't see you like that
I got a baby and she loves me back
And I ain't looking for anything to happen
I promise I don't see you like that
I got a baby and she loves me back
I ain't looking for anything to happen
But damn, Jean
You're the hell of a tease in my dreams

Nothing Like Me
04:26
|

|
Oh this courage
This courage knows no shame
Till it's Jekyll borrows time to save face
But wasn't this the original sin
To speak before I think
To feel before it's safe
This is nothing like me
These thoughts they terrify me
This is nothing like me
My soul it goes without me
Shackle my confessions
To the roof of my mouth
Stop these floodgates
From impulsively rushing out
Dare me to be silent
Dare my heart to recall solitary confinement
Dare me at all
This is nothing like me
These thoughts they terrify me
This is nothing like me
My soul it goes without me
I'm the archaic walls built higher than your will to climb
I'm the promise that your heart will break well before mine
I'm the distance that I'll run before your inch takes a mile
I'm the lie that claims indifference masquerading with a smile
Oooh, oooh, ooh
Oooh, oooh, ooh

If You Wanted To
04:00
|

|
We could drive all night to the beach
All the windows down and the wind blowing
Through your hair
Through your hair
We could make new friends at the dive bar
Hear their stories wish we had longer
I would hold you hand
Hold your hand
Oh there's nothing to it
Oh there's nothing to it
We could spend the day stealing moments
You'd make me laugh I'd catch you staring
If you wanted to
Wanted to
We could race like kids on the boardwalk
I'd let you win you'd let me think that
I could fall for you
Fall for you
Oh there's nothing to it
Oh there's nothing to it
We could act like we'll stay here forever
We could dig our toes in the sand
And forget the end
It never ends
We could scream at the edge of the ocean
I'd tell the truth you could kiss my lips
If you wanted to
Wanted to
Oh there's nothing to it
Oh there's nothing to it
To it

Chicago

My days are set
I write them down
I watch the sun kiss the clouds
It's comfortable way up here
I miss the ones that I held dear
Well you're my only real friend in Chicago
You're my only real friend in Chicago
River north
It winds, it swallows
I watch the faces burn and wallow
Break it to me if I'm too much
I'll catch your drift
Won't push my luck
But you're my only real friend in Chicago
You're my only real friend in Chicago
I'm happy right where I am
I'm not a project
I build my fate
I can be lonely it's not my shame
I still walk these streets
I give I take
I give I take
But you're my only real friend in Chicago
You're my only real friend in Chicago
You're my only real friend in Chicago
You're my only real friend in Chicago

Love To Wake
04:58
|

|
I never loved the morning
I've always stayed in bed
I've clung so tightly my sleep
I've missed so much I must say
But you came
You came around
And you made me want to wake
You came
You came around
You made me love the mornings with you babe
I've never loved the brightness
Shining through my window pane
I've never been one to wake
With a smile upon my face
But you came
You came
And you made me love to wake
You came in the mornings
And I love dearly to wake besides you babe
I never loved
I never loved to set my feet upon ground
If it was cold out when it was warm out
It was too early I'd hide my head in the ground
I never loved
I never loved to raise my head up
I always feared how the day would go
What the light would bring me
So I kept my head down
But you came
And you made me love
You made me love to wake
And you came
You made me love
You made me love the morning break
You came
And you made me love
You made me love to wake
You came
And you made me love
You made me love the morning break
