Honest To God

if i’m being honest with me
if i’m being honest with me
if i’m being honest with me
we’re barely holding it together
if i’m being honest with you
if i’m being honest with you
if i’m being honest with you
i’m not impressed talkin’ ‘bout the weather
if i’m being honest to god
if i’m being honest to god
if i’m being honest to god
i’d consider signing back up
they’d just have to allow a few dissensions
but it was easy
being in the church
making mom happy
looking at my friends
waiting for the snacks
going to confession
lying to the priest
or just coming up with things to say
“i’ve been bad
i didn’t brush my teeth
just the other day
talked back to my dad”
he wouldn’t look the other way
never
he wouldn’t look the other way
hey hail mary
if i’m being honest with me
if i’m being honest with me
if i’m being honest with me
we’re barely holding it together
if i’m being honest with you
if i’m being honest with you
if i’m being honest with you
i’m not impressed talking bout the weather
i don’t care that it snowed
by your house
even though it never does
enjoy your time inside
lord knows i do
and if i’m being honest to god
if i’m being honest to god
if i’m being honest to god
i’d consider it (holding it together)
i’d consider it (holding it together)

Is It Enough
03:37
|

this is not the time
for the
worries on my mind
you can leave behind
your god
i hear they’ll always be there
is it enough?
knowing
it’ll be enough
somewhere
with someone
is it enough?
show me what i cannot see
For i am ready to believe
I am ready for a fall
pride will never change me
and you say
is it enough?
knowing
it’ll be enough
somewhere
with someone
is it enough?
who will pay my ransom?
who will go my bail?
who will shoe my dreams now?
they’re too big to fail
is it enough?
knowing
it’ll be enough
somewhere
with someone
is it enough?
I am ready for a fall
Pride will never change me

Missing The Point
03:23

Tell me, why did you call?
I’ve wondered over and over
Course i remember you at all
My little four leaf clover
No matter where i go
You’re all around
You cover the ground
A beautiful plain
But you’re missing the point
I can no longer explain
some like a mirror
some like a window
some hide instead
and bury their head
under their pillow
no matter what you see
when you close your eyes
on the other side
it happens the same
and you’re missing the point
i can no longer explain
pushing away your fears
like you shove something under a rug
don’t anyone come too near
don’t anyone fall in love
but if you do you better think it through
better know how you’ll for at least a few years
until babies and maybe a house on a hill
you’ll move out of
It was winter outside
When you said it was over
What an unlucky night
My little three leaf clover
Now we watch
The snow coming down
It’s killing the love
That covered the ground
It turns to rain
But you’re missing the point
I can no longer explain

Stuck With Someone
04:35

you can say what you want to say about the time we’ve had
we were thrown, we were due
i’m back to basics, how about you?
you can live for hobbies now
shoeless, careless
dauntless, wantless
well i, i was so free
i could always roll
to where i chose to be
there was a beauty
but i wanna be stuck with someone now
yes i wanna be stuck with someone now
it was never enough, and how could it be?
that summer, that spring
i tried everything
you can make care casual
weightless, spineless
same page, different stage
and i, i knew the score
why settle for less when you can settle for more?
there was a beauty in the fantasy
but i wanna be stuck with someone now
yes i wanna be stuck with someone now
i wanna be crowded and cornered
red brick and mortared
over my head and yet gasping for air
drowning in normal
instead of breathing in sickness
constantly turning the dial
for a while i was close
for a while we wondered
my heart sped and it slowed
you can make the space smaller
and fill it with bullshit
or just leave it
i wanna be stuck with someone now
i wanna be stuck with someone now
i wanna be stuck with someone now
i wanna be stuck with someone now

Lose Your Way
04:05

i tried cleaning
i tried sleep
i tried running
i tried
same old feeling
some new morning
catch me healing
sometime
this is not an alarm
this is not an alarm
but someone better sound it
the moment i come round and scream
i found it
i found it
i’m not supposed to say
but everything is better
when you lose your way
i tried planting
i tried pulling
i tried dancing
i tried
some new haircut
same remorse
saw you there but
nothing
this is not an alarm
this is not an alarm
but someone better sound it
the moment i come round and scream
i found it
i found it
i’m not supposed to say
but everything is better
when you lose your way
you’ve got to reason with your lack of reason
you’ve got to trade your comfort for a colder season
and if you find me sitting on a dock somewhere
take care and know i haven’t bought a boat
they still make me sick
i just like to watch them go
i tried praying
i tried sleep
i tried saying
i tried
