Maribelle 04:20
Oh Maribelle, you wear it well And the night falls down at your feet Those stormy eyes, they tell me lies You’re not getting what you need And you’re screening all your phone calls For everyone that’s not me You spend your days watching the walls There’s nothing there to see CHORUS Well you did all that you could Some things you didn’t think you should It didn’t turn out like you thought it would May have been wrong but it sure was good Oh Maribelle, you wear it well Holding lives in the palm of your hand A dirty mind is sometimes unkind Leaves you without a leg to stand If those walls could talk to you Don’t think I'd listen anyway It’s a bitter pill you have to swallow And it still can’t take you away CHORUS You spend your days watching the walls In your pastel colored cell If those colors spoke to you Oh the stories they might tell CHORUS

It must be hell living with me That’s quite a lonely place to be You’re always telling me I’ve changed Deep down I’m feelin’ just the same So what’s so different I don’t know You change your mood every time the wind blows There’s nothin’ left for me to do To get back to gettin’ along with you It’s been a cold November inside and out I can’t recall the things we fight about Why don’t we wake up and make up our minds Get it straight while we have the time It ain’t been easy getting by Have to admire the way I’ve tried Always talkin’ down to me Karma’s gonna bite you wait and see So what’s so different I don’t know I suppose it’s just the way we’ve grown There’s nothin’ left for me to do There’s just no gettin’ along with you CHORUS What’s happened to forever now? That’s quite a long time anyhow We said through good times and the bad But where’s those good times that we had So what’s so different I can’t tell But the best revenge is livin’ well There’s nothing left for me to do There’s just no going on with you It’s been a cold November inside and out I can’t believe the shit we fight about Why don’t we wake up while we still have the time Get it straight before we lose our minds

Said pretty lady come and look my way, I’m talking straight to you I heard you say that you like my face and the rest of me a little bit too You’ve got my attention and I’m standing tall for the first time since God knows when And I’ve got yours too I can tell by the way that you say you want to see me again CHORUS Let’s flip a coin as high as we can and watch it land on its side It’s a sticky situation we’ve gotten into so let’s strap in and enjoy the ride ‘Cause you make me feel better about me and you show me things that I couldn’t see And tell me I’m under your skin... that’s a damn good place to be I remember that night I was singing some songs and you watched from the corner of your eye Then a few cold beers and a martini later we were strolling beneath the streetlights We met in the shadows, by the look in your eye I could see what you had in mind I kissed your mouth and you bit your lip and the stars and your eyes both shined CHORUS So here we are and here we go again, we’ve got a little talking to do You think I’d be perfect if the circle was broken and the situation’s troubling you And you said you’re a handful but that don’t scare me, I know my will is strong We might not wind up where we thought we'd be but we'll end up where we belong CHORUS

Coy 05:29
It’s 6 in the morning We haven’t been to sleep yet Eyes wide open in your calm dark room Staring at your silhouette Outside there's a freezing rain It beats down on your windowpane The night is cold but your body’s so warm I pull you close so I can feel you breathing Don’t worry about tomorrow, or think about the day What we made together here tonight the light can’t take away CHORUS We both need clarity, so just give it a chance Because what you call bad timing, Might just be circumstance Let’s live inside this moment, And experience each other In this temporary non-fiction You tell me you’ve been hurt before Haven’t we all been hurt before And even though we both have secrets we could tell I won’t let you play that wounded role anymore You try to hide your soul from me You lock it tight and you swallow the key Acting so coy, won’t look me in the eye I pull you close so I can feel you breathing Don’t worry about tomorrow, or think about the day ‘Cause I don’t have to go if you just tell me to stay CHORUS You say your heart is like a riverbed After months with no rain I can fill that empty space And maybe you can do the same Will you smile when you think of me Or cry when you realize what could be You were the only one to make me lose my words Will you be there when I find them again Don’t worry about tomorrow, or think about the day ‘Cause I don’t have to go if you just tell me to stay CHORUS

Be Gone 04:14
There’s a new pair of boots under your bed There’s a new set of demons inside your head The room’s too quiet, there’s no chance of sleep You pull your hair and breathe in deep There’s a strange set of clothes scattered on your floor Unfamiliar and dirty, and they are not yours Smelling like liquor, looking like death If you can’t remember it ain’t hard to forget It’s the story you know best CHORUS: Who’s wrong and who’s right? Can you sleep through the night? What’s that at your door? Do you care anymore? Who’s that looking back at you? Is it a lie or is it true? Who’s right and who’s wrong? I think I’d best be gone There’s another new form in your intimate space And a void inside you that he can’t replace Just another contender sleeping in your bed Can’t show your hand so your body instead You give it away no need to say please You’re left with scars on your hands and scrapes on your knees Smelling like liquor, looking like death If you can’t remember it ain’t hard to forget It’s the story you know best CHORUS It’s the story you know best A little different from the rest CHORUS

You’re a picture in a shoebox on the bottom shelf I used to think you knew me better than I knew myself The color slightly faded, the edges slightly frayed The moment's long, long gone now but the memories have stayed Some are worth a thousand words, this one’s worth just three Your voice still echoes in my head from when you swore that you loved me My heart’s been broke so many times I’m surprised that it still beats But I can say I’ve lived and I’ve learned Better learn to swim ‘Cause that ship’s already sailed Tried to tame the sun and wound up getting burned When the best of times turnout to be the worst You’re my second favorite memory All the rest are tied for first A bit too much, a bit too soon, now it’s too damn late Left me feeling something I could not articulate No time to smell the roses before they up and died But I couldn’t keep the thorns out of my side You were a sight for sore eyes but it I looked a bit too long I suppose we've all got the right to be wrong My heart’s been broke so many times I’m surprised that it still beats But I can say I’ve lived and I’ve learned Better learn to swim ‘Cause that ship’s already sailed Tried to tame the sun and wound up getting burned When a blessing suddenly becomes a curse You’re my second favorite memory All the rest are tied for first I always said it wasn’t you but that was just a lie I suppose it might’ve been me too but at least I tried You wrote the part now you have to play the role No reparations made for all the minutes that you stole You burned down every bridge, just the ashes left behind That ain’t my kind of kind My heart’s been broke so many times I’m surprised that it still beats But I can say I’ve lived and I’ve learned Better learn to swim ‘Cause that ship’s already sailed Tried to tame the sun and wound up getting burned Just stop right there and nobody else gets hurt You’re my second favorite memory All the rest are tied for first

Do you recall when we were friends? That was how this whole thing started, looks like this is where it ends You took it all for granted and the lines have gotten crossed Somewhere along the way you got yourself a little lost Those eyes see hallucinations, your mind tells you they’re true All the while you’re missing what’s right in front of you Can’t get out of your own way, you can’t move fast enough It’s easier to just lay down when the walking gets too tough I wonder if you’ll keep all the letters that I wrote Does anyone even write them anymore? Learning how to fly like a broken winged bird Sometimes faith is a four letter word We can’t build a love with all these fits and starts And we can’t come together from this far apart Sleeping back to back, instead of face to face When all this time I thought that you would be my saving grace You’re cold like January, ice running through your veins With you I shared everything but I won’t share in your pain I don’t know how you live, don’t know how you even sleep And my shoulders so damn heavy, from the weight you put on me I wonder if you still have all the cards that I sent Does anyone even send them anymore? Don’t know if you were listening and I don’t think that you heard Sometimes trust is a four letter word I woke up this morning about half past five To the sound of your car creeping down the gravel drive We were living on stolen time, and you swore you told no lies But the truth is that the truth is something you can't quantify I hope that you find love, I hope you find your health But know you can't love anyone til you learn to love yourself I’ll put it all behind me, wave goodbye in the rear view And find someone who’ll look at me the way you used to do Do you remember all the things that I said Does anyone even say them anymore? Don’t know if you were listening and I don’t think that you heard But love ain’t a four letter word No love ain’t a four letter word

The Willows 04:54
She said, “Does anyone even love me, just for who I am? It sucks the life right out of me when I have to pretend” And I’d never seen fear before like I saw in her eyes As she chased her fifth of whiskey down with a twist off bottle of wine Her hands had the shakes and were a little rough from the farm But I’d have bet a month of paychecks that the other sides were warm I didn’t have the words for her, just spitting in an empty can But I could feel each one she said sometimes you’ve got to hurt to understand INTRO I recall the scent of the summer rain on that August night we met The hair she left on my pillowcase and the smoke from her cigarette Said she was only seeking virtue, somewhere souls and hearts are saved But an all night drive to Tennessee didn’t bring her what she craved I asked, “Is it Jesus that you seek, kneeling on that cold tile floor Searching for your slice of heaven you won’t find at the dollar store” She said, “This angel on my shoulder is trying to have her say, But it’s the devil on my tongue that always gets his way.” CHORUS And the willows ain’t the only things weeping And the vultures ain’t dead they’re just sleeping When she came undone it all poured out in a torrent and a rhyme Nothing left to spend but the time She said, “Don’t you get too comfortable, we don’t have that kind of time. Pretty soon you’ll go your way, and I’ll go mine.” I guess no one ever told her to come in from the rain Broken bones and broken hearts, they don’t heal the same She swallowed all your pride, washed it down with pills, A chalk outline around her and a prophecy self-fulfilled” She smirked and sank into the seat of her faded red Pontiac Said, “It took three years to change me, it’ll take twice that to change me back.” CHORUS

Checking In 05:51
I cracked my lids this morning unsure of where I am Swore I went to bed in Charlotte but I woke up in Cheyenne Shut the tv off ‘round 4 but could not shut off my brain And for the life of me I can't recall what time I'm due in Spokane I could use a cup of coffee but I never touch the stuff Just splash cold water on my face and hope that it's enough I'd drive all night 600 miles just to sleep in my own bed But the road back home’s three times that long so I'm stranded here instead So I’m checking in tonight, from a place that I can’t name Where the churches and the traffic lights all look about the same Try to wipe the weary from my eyes Just checking in tonight See the glow of a 7-11 sign from the edge of a dim lit stage Feels like I'm living in a line from Turn The Page The congregation to my right prays for another beer Silently wondering what the hell we’re doing here There's a girl across the room singing every word with me I wonder if she wonders what kind of lover I might be I wouldn't know what to say to her if it wasn't in a song So I just nod and offer half a smile before it's time to move along So I’m checking in tonight, from a place that I can’t name Where the women and convenience stores all look about the same Try to wipe the weary from my eyes Just checking in tonight All these yellow lines I leave behind Got me tied up so tight I can't unwind This world’s got teeth, and they're sharper than I thought They ain’t gonna bite me ‘cause I won’t be sold or bought The motel room is quiet now just the hum from the old AC Now it's just three of us I myself and me This bedspread looks familiar and I've seen this lamp before And this double bed they stuck me with ain't much better than the floor And I'm thinking about all those times you call me crying on the phone Every time I ask you why you say it's because I'm gone I don't have the heart to give you that tired old runaround ‘Cause I know it's more than gravity that keeps me on the ground So I'm checking in today, from a place that I can’t name Where the souvenir shops and rest stops all look about the same Wipe the weary in my eyes away Just checking in today
