Little Bird 00:46
And if you got nothing left to say Then don't say a word My little bird And let the song take you away

Santiago 02:27
I’m afraid to fall away Fall away, off the corner of the Earth I got my feet planted so deep So let's see you jump first If we close our eyes Will you hold my hand? Will you hold me tight? Promise me that no matter what happens Or no matter who happens to show you around That you will never forget the look Or the breath you took with me If we close our eyes Will you hold my hand? Will you hold me tight? If we close our eyes Will you hold my hand? Will you hold me tight?

Rose City 03:11
Full of empty Fill me up, fill me up, fill me up, fill me up Drink it in careful Nothing can’t, nothing can’t, nothing can’t be made worse And back of the line now 'Cause all of us, all of us, all of us were here first And after the war there was a time Ever since, ever since, ever since we’ve been cursed Change for the bus you owe me Change is the scariest word I know this city ain’t exactly rosy But don’t you dare go unheard Start with the rust, then slowly Paint over, paint over, paint over the hard times You’ll get to the point, I promise You’ll get to, you’ll get to, you’ll get to a good sign Change for the bus you owe me Change is the scariest word I know this city ain’t exactly rosy But don’t you dare go unheard You can’t go home The way you came ‘Cause you might not be able to tell But darling you’re not the same Change for the bus you owe me Change is the scariest word I know this city ain’t exactly rosy But don’t you dare go unheard

And it’s so long to the worry That has made itself, made itself known And bravo fine warrior And it’s good to the, good to the bone Stray far from, from the outline 'Til death tumbles, death tumbles in And time after hard time We keep losing, we keep losing just to win Sorrow sweet sorrow You let me down, let me down hard And there’s a picture upon the wall and There’s a thousand honest dollars left on the card Just hold me right ‘Cause it’s the last chance we got tonight We got this here ‘til we got a little more Just hold me right ‘Cause it’s the last chance we got tonight We got this here ‘til we got a little more And don't pick this fight Leave it alone, everything's gonna be alright We got this here ‘til we got a little more Just hold me right ‘Cause it’s the last chance we got tonight We got this here ‘til we got a little more

High up above there’s a window That you’ve been looking through And way down below there’s a crack on the sidewalk You might slip right through And somewhere inside there’s a silo Dividing you in two You could sit in your room and contemplate your view Or you could boots on and sky blue And lock all your doors when you get there We were taught when we were new And just look away if someone looks your way And so that’s what we do And right in the thick there’s a magic If you can read between the times Tucked far away on the very back pages There that’s where you’ll find Na na na na na na na
6.
The window’s frozen open On this the coldest day of the year So on top of sleeping in sweaters All the drunkards we can hear Well I guess we should be in our own place Or at least be getting near Instead the sink won’t stop leaking And the paint won’t adhere And so it’s a good thing that you love me On this our latest frontier ‘Cause if we never waste our minutes And if our hours all are dear Then, darling, we can never waste our years It’s the coldest damn winter Since they started keeping track It knocks you down face first Before stepping on your back No this is not what we pictured When all the stresses we lacked So until we find our sweet spot We’ll keep waiting to unpack And so it’s a good thing that you love me On this our latest frontier ‘Cause if we never waste our minutes And if our hours all are dear Then, darling, we can never waste our years And so it’s a good thing that you love me On this our latest frontier ‘Cause if we never waste our minutes And if our hours all are dear Then, darling, we can never waste our years

From the banks of the Detroit River I saw the sadness in her eyes You know I’d move mountains if I were a stronger man But it’s all I can do to try And from the passenger side window I felt the disappointment rise You know I’d turn back the hands if I had the time And I’ve tried, Lord, I have tried And as the Atlantic keeps growing So does the distance of her mind You know I’d fix it up and I’d paint it new If the directions I could find The border city it loves you The border city will see you though The border city is above you And you can start all over If that’s what you want to do And so we strap our boots on nightly And just keep moving through this life Ya know one of these days we’re gonna stop in our tracks We’re gonna treat ourselves just right

Seasonlong 03:18
The marina, a place for dreaming A place that we could not afford So we bought a shitty little outboard And I should’ve told you so much more Just like boys in the summer Ten minutes up the river If we fill the rusting red can Can you take us in the old van? ‘Cause we’re living for the summer And it’ll be cold before long Then it’s cold the whole damn winter And we wait the whole damn seasonlong And as I ran backwards on the dock You screamed my name as I fell right off You lost your glasses as I kicked to the light And now I’m wishing I was more forthright And on the day I learned of pipe dreams I threw my hat against the wall The doctor didn’t even flinch though And there were strangers down the hall ‘Cause we’re living for the summer And it’ll be cold before long Then it’s cold the whole damn winter And we wait the whole damn seasonlong 'Cause we’re living for the summer And it’ll be cold before long Then it’s cold the whole damn winter And we wait the whole damn seasonlong
9.
If I run out of time Before the sun sets Learn from all my regrets And if I surrender Before the sun awakes Get strong from all my mistakes And before we fall victim To the turning of the wheel We’ll spend all our hours getting real And if I go first Want not for the days They’re just bastards of mercy fading away And if you should happen To carry the weight Just hold on ‘til the daylight recreates And before we fall victim To the turning of the wheel We’ll spend all our hours getting real And before we fall victim To the turning of the wheel We’ll spend all our hours getting real
10.
I broke my bike and I lost my shoe I broke my teeth and my promise, too I’ll say I’m sorry if you want me to But I’m doing the best I can do I know what I want, and what I want it’s you ‘Cause nobody knows me like you do I’m an obvious fool, but I speak the truth And I’m doing the best I can do I'm searching for signs but I got no clue I had a plan but I lost that, too And my favourite shirt it just wore right through And I’m doing the best Baby, I'm doing the best Don't you know that I'm doing the best I can do

C'mon, Love 04:46
C'mon, love, it's time to go It's just a little further on down the road We got a car that runs and a tank half full So c'mon, love, it's time to go Remember when we first met years ago? Fell in love so good and watched the city grow But home is wherever we say so So c'mon, love, it's time to go And how 'bout the time that we talked all night? 'Cause we just can't sleep when something ain't right We found the highest highs in the lowest lows But c'mon, love, it's time to go Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na You got a box full of books and an armful of clothes I got six old strings and a ring you chose Now we love this place but we both know That just about now it's time to go Ya we love this place but we both know That just about now it's time to go Let's go Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na C'mon, love, it's time to go It's just a little further on down the road We got a car that runs and a tank half full So c'mon, love, it's time to go
