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

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

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

Bravo Warrior

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
01:48
|

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

Good Thing You Love Me
03:01
|
|||
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

Border City Love
04:45
|

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

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

The Turning of the Wheel
02:21
|

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

Best I Can Do
01:42
|

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

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
