Ain't It Always
02:55

Ain't it always true the one you really want
Is far away from you on another's arm
Ain't it always true
Ain't it always hard to look on from distance
Sunning her yard's still serving time in prison
Ain't it always
I know, I know
Love doesn't need to be the game I chose play
Ain't it always?
Don't it feel mean our love came
If she's not standing next to me
I hope that no one is standing next to her
Don't it feel mean
I know I know
Love doesn't need to be the game I chose play
Ain't it always?
I know, I know
Love doesn't need to be the game I chose to play
But ain't it always?

Ex-Lover
05:03
|

I'm gonna drag the road 'til the caffeine lets me go
Dream another song for my ex lover
Slip away to Graceland on the radio
When I hand the van keys back to another
I hum and whine like a railroad track
Back to where I came before the cold November snow
Put me on faux-leather, put me on my back
I'm gonna sleep beneath the black of North Ontario
Oh ex lover I cannot deny it
I need restitution in a long, dark time
Oh ex lover I don't want to hide it
I cannot feed your fire if I can't feed mine
All this cryin' when I let you go
I had my troubling lyin' to you when I choke
and I's a little shaky when I told you I was done
Cause you won't like my reasonin'
Standing on the corner with a nozzle in my hand
Freezing 'neath the light of one more Petro-Can
Trying to make it big in a rock and roll band
Is like trying to talk the frostbite out my cold cold hands
Oh ex lover I cannot deny it
I need restitution in a long, dark time
Oh ex lover I don't want to hide it
I cannot feed your fire if I can't feed mine
All this cryin' when I let you go
I have my troubling lyin' to you when I choke
cause I's a little shaky when I told you I was done
You won't like my reasonin'
Señorita, spanish roses
Springsteen had a way with women that I don't
When I leave impressions of the girls I used to roll with
I couldn't find the details I was looking for
I find home in the arms of every open door
I promise I won't run straight to another
If I couldn't make the time for you ex-lover
I cannot deny it
Baby I need someone just to feel alright
But oh ex lover I don't want to hide it
I cannot feed your fire, if this gun just ain't for hire
All this crying' when I let you know
I have my trouble lying to you when I choke
I'm gonna take some time, rolling like a railroad
Down the county line on down to Mexico

Pale shades
North West
I'll let
I'll let
I'll let you know
Soft skin
I've been
Too high
To think
I lost control
Oh babe I need to wander
If I come back alone
I'll let
I'll let
I'll let you know
Moonrise
All day
All night
Alright
I'll let you know
Fast car
North West
Changes
Your head
You let me go
When pastures brown and dying
Give way to fields of gold
I'll let you know
No means
No reason
To fight
We're free
But we don't know
I'll let
I'll let
I'll let you know

Burn Out
04:31
|
|||
Making a living, barely alive
living the dream or wasting your time
It takes a little more than a couple of dollars to keep me in line
We are all just burn outs baby
Won't you burn out with me?
We are all just burn outs baby
When all of your luck's burnt to the ground
and all of your friends are skipping town
Instead of swim you think you'd sooner want to drown in all these flames
All these flames
We are all just burn outs baby
Won't you burn out with me?
We are all just burn outs baby
All of the dreams you once held close
All of the different words you chose
Everything you love will one day slowly decompose into nothing
We are all just burn outs baby
Won't you burn out with me?
We are all just burn outs baby
Won't you down out with me?

Pure of Heart
04:00
|
|||
She is a young woman trapped in her old ways
She has an older lover she can't break away from
So she tries to get free, make a new start
Because she is a young woman trying to be pure of heart
She has a new lover lying in waiting
she knows that nothing's for sure
But feels herself wavering, wavering now
She wants to leave her old life in the dust
So a new one can catch a spark
All the while trying to be pure of heart
All the while trying to be pure of heart
Stare at a blank canvas
Or out at a road so lonely and wide
Feeling the true desolation of life
Ring out like a gunshot right across that great, great divide
If you want to get free
If you want to escape
Stare at a blank canvas
Heavy in heart-ache
Cut loose from those ties that reach out from the past
Before they can pull you apart
All the while trying to be pure of heart
All the while trying to be pure of heart
All the while, you're walking away from commitments
All the while, dream of beginning anew
Fighting for truth and a new way restart
You are a young woman pure of heart
She is a young woman
Trapped in her old ways

To Fall
04:15
|
|||
Running all your water down the drain
Because your firewood gets wet out in the rain
Is like trying to get acquainted with your pain
By putting words to everything that you can't explain
You write from every angle that you can
To recognize your heart and all it's wounds
By the way it breaks when life gets out of hand
To how it falls and apart from overuse
A fall is never under your command
Hits you late or comes a little soon
You always slip when life gets out of hand
It's never up to you
Why you fall
Crazy and the day is tired and long
Hazy like a morning fog is blue
You stretch out with your back against the lawn
And you lay there til the haze rolls out of view
When nobody is sticking to the plan
Cause everyone is sticking it to you
Boy that's when you start to understand
You only ever get to plan the follow through
A fall is never under your command
Hits you late or comes a little soon
You always slip, when life gets out of hand
But it's never up to you
The heart never is under your command
The heart is never listening to you
Go ahead and try and make a plan
I've never seen the good the plan has done, you
A fall is never under your command
Hits you late or comes a little soon

Unrequited
04:29
|
|||
I haven't written many songs since you've been away
I only sing the hits if only I had hits
I'd pay to bring you home with all the benefits I'd make on the back end
Until somebody builds a phone that calls forward in time
So I can ring you up at a more convenient time
You'll be nations ahead when I'm dragging behind
Feeling unrequited
Unrequited, unrequited
Something wasn't said
Like a song that needs a bridge
I'm playing it anyway trying to pen it in
Between the shows it's like I'm trying to teach the miles to sing
Unrequited, unrequited
Something wasn't said
You're the song I'm just the bridge
I'm playing you anyway trying to pen it in
It's like I'm trying to teach the miles to sing
