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?

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
