LA

It's been six months or more since i saw you
now you're calling me up kinda late in the day
"how are you, saw you got back from LA"
but you cut me off mid-conversation
hear you taking deep breaths at the end of the line
I'm sorry
wish we could turn back the time
but you know i aint giving up on you yet
no matter what you tell yourself
I ain't giving up on you yet
no matter what

Need You Now
03:54

I was a young man
with my heart on my sleeve
and I ran into your arms
without taking a moment to breathe
you became all that i had to lose
so now that it's breaking, I've got no foundation
to keep me from clinging to you
I need you now
I need you now
(more than I ever thought that I would)
(more than I ever thought that I would)
more than I ever thought
You wrote me all the words I wanted
since day one
still it's not enough to wash away
all of the problems
but
what can I say?
you blinded me once and I know that
it's only your way
get under my skin and control it
it doesn't matter to me,
when I get you stuck on my mind
all that I can think is
that I need you
I need you now
I need you now
(more than I ever thought that I would)
(more than I ever thought that I would)
more than I ever thought
..and then, you come back to
the place we got together and I hoped that you would
stay
it was on your way
to come collect your records and your books and then
you leaned in and caught my lips
(or at least that's how I've imagined this to go)
cause it seems I
I need you now
I need you now
(more than I ever thought that I would)
(more than I ever thought that I would)
more than I ever thought

Slow Motion
04:32
|

when i called your name
i saw you hesitate
before you turned away
well now i can't say that I blame you
thought i gave you space
but i left you waiting on a warm embrace
that was never gonna come
i'm never gonna come back to you
things are never gonna be better than
anything that i said i'd do for you
i hope that you now know better than
to let yourself believe anything i promise you
Can we move in slow motion
so i can get over you
you had your heart set on forever
but over time it crossed your (I could tell it crossed your mind)
that maybe I was not the one for you
now we're not talking to each other
you've moved on to the next one
and I can't help but feel that
I'm losing a part of myself that I can't quite point out
but you say that
things are never gonna be better than
anything that i said i'd do for you
i hope that you now know better than
to let yourself believe anything i promise you
Can we move in slow motion
so i can get over you

Catch A Wind
01:55
|
|||
|
I know it's wise
to keep you at a distance
while I'm doing fine on my own
but every time
i hear your name in passing
its another reminder of when
you were the life i'd always dreamt of living
if i leave you behind, where does that go?
is our love gonna catch a wind?
is our love gonna catch a wind and go?

So Good
04:34

Saying what you say as if i need this now
turning back on me, putting words in my mouth
i cant be free, i cant be free
you say we'll get it back if I can just hold out
the time for you to clear your head and figure out
but I can't be free, i cant be free with you on my mind
so if it's so good why do you want to find another now?
If you want me, you've got a funny way of showing how
I can't be free with you on my mind
you call me in the dark to say you can't move on
you're hoping that I haven't found another one
I can't be free, I can't be free
I know the words you want but can't make myself say
maybe I never really meant them for you anyway
I can't be free with you on my mind
so if it's so good why do you want to find another now?
If you want me, you've got a funny way of showing how
I can't be free with you on my mind

This Is Your Dream

If this is your dream, then I can't stand beside you anymore
If this is your dream, why should I hang on your every word?

Take Care
02:31

Be still for a second babe
you're buzzing like a wasp trapped in a cup
and I'm trying to hold on to you
but you don't make it easy to keep up
I can't keep up
and I'm ignoring all the voices that are whispering in my ear
"just give it up"
thought that I was all you needed
til you went and turned your back on us
You know that I will take care of you
I will take care of you
I will take care of you
but you don't want me to
how can i try to explain
love as we may, sometimes I'm afraid of you
the push and the pull at the seams, it's tearing at me
but god it's a rush that i cannot refuse
you're holding out for something better
holding out for something more than me
and I know I can't hold this together
but I will never be the one to leave
You know that I will take care of you
I will take care of you
I will take care of you
but you don't want me to

Shoulda Been
03:36
|

|
Long nights, they pass me by
smoking cigarettes and waiting on the phone to light up
it's all I really want
just to know that i'm still on your mind
I can't make the first move
don't I get some respect for holding it back?
but you've already moved along
and i can't help thinking that it
Shoulda been over with you
No use hanging on what's been done
but you turned it back on me like you gave me up
I can't help thinking that enough's enough
it was a long time coming and it
shoulda been over with you!
I know it's cold to bring this up
but with you i never felt that i was good enough
you held love over me beyond my touch
just so you know, well it
shoulda been over with you!
I made my mind up
but I hadn't expected the rush that I'd feel
when you called up, saying you wanted me
I had to pull back
and remember the reasons that pushed us apart
remember the lows I just made it out of
and it's killing you now..but it shoulda been over with you
No use hanging on what's been done
but you turned it back on me like you gave me up
I can't help thinking that enough's enough
it was a long time coming and it
shoulda been over with you!
I know it's cold to bring this up
but with you i never felt that i was good enough
you held love over me beyond my touch
just so you know, well it
shoulda been over with you!
am I strong enough to stand here without you
don't know if i can make it on my own
am i strong enough to stand here without you
well it should have been over with
You
No use hanging on what's been done
but you turned it back on me like you gave me up
I can't help thinking that enough's enough
it was a long time coming and it
shoulda been over with you!
I know it's cold to bring this up
but with you i never felt that i was good enough
you held love over me beyond my touch
just so you know, well it
shoulda been over with you!

Poly

i know myself
and i would go and carry on
pretending i could bare it all
but you cut me off
saved me from myself
guess i'm grateful love
i know too much to ever fully let you go
no i can't forget everything you told
you went and let me in to your darkest place
now i'm good and tangled up
guess i never could admit that I
didn't have the strength to go and hold you down that way
and i'm sorry that i could not say
everything you needed
god knows i once felt that way
goodbyes are never easy
hold on for me, I'm cheering for you
I know you can't quite see yet
but you'll find the one that you're looking for
well i know myself and I would be the chosen one
but you can't go back, and i can't go on
til we ask ourselves what we really want
is it the love we had, or just the comfort of
lying in your arms beneath the lamplight
your warm breath on my backbone in the cold night
i can't fuck around it just brings me down
and i can't think right
gotta make it on my own
guess i never could admit that I
didn't have the strength to go and hold you down that way
and i'm sorry that i could not say
everything you needed
god knows i once felt that way
goodbyes are never easy
hold on for me, I'm cheering for you
I know you can't quite see yet
but you'll find the one that you're looking for
Well I know myself
and i should really let you go
but I don't regret any time at all
I won't turn my back, but I hope you know
you gotta find yourself
I can't do that for you

Don't U Know?
02:25

What I saw that day
you with your head down and your back turned
you said to me "I don't know why you stay
I'm never gonna change"
I could see in the moment
you just wanted someone to agree
well I can't stand here in silence
while you tear down all that's dear to me
don't u know you're everything i ever wanted?
don't u know you're everything i ever wanted?
don't u know you're everything i ever wanted?
don't u see it in my eyes?
