Firecracker

He says you're such a firecracker
But that's just 'cause he can't take the flame
Now here comes another boy to dance in your fire
While I'm watching through my two-way mirror pane
You don't have to know what you want to know that you're wanted
By every two-bit boy with a halfway decent smile
That's how the fairy tales go, the boy gets the girl
Then it's happily ever after for awhile
But I can see it, something ain't sitting right
And I can feel it when you look in my eyes
Is there something in my drink or am I flying?
I'll take another drag while uses all his favorite lines
Gonna ride this out 'cause all I've got is time
And later when you spill your guts, I'll remember tomorrow
But I'll fall asleep still wishing you were mine
Is there something in these stolen glances,
Waiting for a break from all this madness?
You don't have to know where you're going, but I'll follow
We said it, and I'm proud of us
I don't regret it, and my hopes aren't up
I just can't shut up when my heart's beating this loud
It's in the open, it's a big "now what?"
But don't sweat it, 'cause we don't know what we want
But I'll love you in all the ways a girl can love
...but not a boy.

I wanna talk to you
And I think you might want me to
But I don't know if I should say what I wanna say
I love hanging out with you
And I love your attitude
But if I open my mouth I'm scared you'll run away
Did I catch you staring at me?
Or just see what I wanted to see?
Can I ruin all of this with honesty?
Waiting for the right time
Is how life gets away
So I'm sayin' what I'm sayin'
I like you
Yeah, in that way
We don't need their rules
Their self-suppression tools
All the best things in this world are shades of grey
I'm always listening
And always wishing, wishing, wishing
And I might just have to speak up one of these days
This fear is paralyzing
I'm overanalyzing
My stomach's turning, babe
Just call my bluff
So kiss me, or don't
Just rid me of this lump in my throat
Just wanted you to know
I'm into you.

The Queen Of Abilene

Anywhere I sleep feels empty
I miss you so much that I think it's killing me
I still see you standing by your car
And I keep looking backward, no matter how far away
I want to stay with you forever
Or even just one more night
Cherish the time we have together
I want to wake up next to you
I never want to have to say goodbye
I think about yesterday as I drive away
This place has nothing for me, but everything's telling me to stay
It's so hard to leave you standing there
Maybe I'll come back again
Love can take you anywhere
Oh, don't I know...
You were just here
I'd give it all to feel you near
And I don't need anything but what you have to give me
Baby, please pick up your phone
And tell me that I'm not alone
I never thought I'd want to stay in Abilene

Monday At The Dew
03:51
|

The view from the deep end... is lovely
As you make your little sounds above me
Tonight is perfect, like the movies
As you kiss all of your pain into me
And I know loving you is not the right thing to do
So I'll sit right here and write another song for you
And I don't know who to play this number to
So I guess I'll sing it Monday at the Dew
The view from heaven is ugly
But I'd jump right down if I knew that you loved me
The clock ticks hard as Denver comes a-calling
But for you, my love, I just can't keep from falling
The view from beside you is daunting
'Cause every time you drive away, it haunts me
Why is it so easy to love when you don't want to?
Why is it so easy to love someone who don't want you?
And I know loving you is not the right thing to do
So I'll sit right here and write another song for you
And I don't know who to play this number to
So I guess I'll sing it Monday at the Dew
'Cause I know them shady dirtbags at the Dew
And I'm pretty sure I trust them more than you.

In this hotel bed, we'll pretend that we aren't dead
And count the lives we never led
You'll tell me just how you feel
And a fire lights in me because I know it's real,
And not just what I want,
But a flickering of truth
What do I have to lose to get you?
I'm beside myself with something to prove.
So will you take this to my grave?
All the things we know, but never say?
I'll take your love in any way
And if I have to take it to yours,
Hope you find all you're looking for
I wish I could have given you more
Please don't leave me alone
Take me with you if you sink like a stone
We'll hold hands at the bottom
(It's our new home)
Part of me died next to you in that hotel room
The part of me that wondered if I'd ever truly have you
The part that just ain't dying
Is the part that knows you'll always have me.
You got me.
In your heart of hearts, are you happy where you are?
What I'd give for a new start in a place that feels new
Fill all my time with thoughts of you
You can come along...
If you want to get away from all these expectations
Give ourselves some time to grow into the best parts of us
Give us shelter from the storm, but we can play in the rain
It's bursting out of me
I'm running out of time and so are we
What happens to the smallest memories?
I never got to love you, at least not the way I'd want
Laying there beside you (was the closest I ever got)
Respectful only says so much
What makes you happy? That's all that I want.
Kiss me once, or 'til we see the sun
Just please, please don't leave
Tell 'em it's your song I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
Just don't stop listening
Before you leave this earth
Tell her I'm sorry if it hurts,
But baby... I loved you first.

Hope You Haunt Me
05:32

I catch myself letting go all the time
Did it ever really happen?
Were those moments I cried over all just dreams?
An October evening
The leaves wet on the cold ground
Not as inviting as the summer that came before
When all the leaves go dead,
What do you do?
When you're another year older
From a burn to a smolder
What else can you do?
When the time came long ago to let go of you
What else can I do?
I'm a drop of water on her gentle leaves
Rolling off her comforts into the darkest space in me
I hope you haunt me
Will you stay and taunt me?
I catch myself giving in to those bitter worlds inside
I still long for what could have stayed and fucked up my whole life
An early departure
Hard to believe it's any better
When the years come rolling in,
What do you do?
When the wounds aren't healed, just covered in dust
Will hope be enough to carry you?
When the sun lights up the balance of what we put each other through
What else can I do?
Don't say the words that feel good in the moment
Don't spill your soul to every pretty face you meet
You can't fix yourself with another empty promise
You can't make these same mistakes year after week
You'll sow, then you'll reap.
I hope you haunt me.
