Oh home
When will I be
Where I wanna be
and see what I wanna see
Oh home
When can I be
Who I wanna be
and see what I wanna see
Oh home
The taste of regret
Lays heavy on my tongue
See what i’ve become
Oh no
I’m living in a memory
It’s all that i’ve become
Look at what I’ve done
Home
Strangers all around
I’m looking to be found
I’ve fallen to the ground
Oh Home
Will this ever be
good for me?
Am I who I wanna be?

In Another Life
03:22
|

|
when these marks on my body fade away
when the words you said to me dissipate
I’ll question my fate
when I stop ignoring when you say your name
and the games you play
I’ll know what to say
you’ll never change
but maybe we can find the time
in another life I know you were mine
lovers or friends we were one of a kind
it's hard to say, but I know I must say goodbye
but I’ll see you in the next life
or maybe far down the road we'll align

Two Front Teeth
04:12
|

|
tell me that I’m wrong
I’m sick of being right
safe harbor of stability
is that what you see in me
wiser for my years
but never quite wise enough
so lie to me through your two front teeth
and pretend that I’m dumb
And drunk drive your way into me
Just drag me along
So put your hands round my neck
Don’t let go
Oh please just leave them there
Oh no don’t move em
Don't ya dare
Just leave them there
Don't move em, don't move em
Don’t you dare
so tighten your grip
and I’ll loosen mine
I’ll be what you need
because I forgot who I wanted to be
so stay with me til the end
eventually we all just bend
to the will of another friend
between your teeth it’s just a means to an end

Again

heaven I know it can’t be
oh comfort can be so good at deceit
old habits seem to be
what’s inhabiting me
it's holding me close now
I was doing things I wouldn’t wanna share with anyone else
finding what I should know
knowing what I should do
finding time between the lines
I guess that’s what I’ll do
looking at you
passing my time
well wouldn’t that be fine
I'm falling apart again, again, again
why can’t it be easy?
knowing what is is right, I wish it was black n white
time can only tell if this will go well
it's holding me close now
I was doing things I wouldn’t wanna share with anyone else
finding what I should know
knowing what I should do
finding time between the lines
I guess that’s what I’ll do
looking at you
passing my time
well wouldn’t that be fine
I'm falling apart again, again, again

Where You Are

he’s outside smoking and I’m inside trying to decide
the smell won’t stop lingering
I think it’s time for me to say goodbye
but when I’m with I just can’t find the words to reply
I guess I'll stay in my head, it’s safer here by your side, by your side
and I wonder where you are
who your with
he'll be outside smoking that spliff
staring at the ceiling knowing who I'd rather be with
I want to talk to you for hours
lets pretend it’s all okay
like i never loved you anyway
and so I wonder where you are
who your with
he'll be outside smoking that spliff
staring at the ceiling knowing who I'd rather be with

My Maria

my maria in the morning time
my maria in the evening light
she's cold as winters snow
she’s awful don’t you know
and i’m learning
you reap what you sow
oh maria in the summer sun
not a care she’s always having fun
thin and rotten through
I'm jealous for only you
and I’m learning that
I am what I say
I am the people I hate
I'll take back what I’ve said
who you knew is now dead
I’m no better than the rest
I’m even worse for thinkin less

Daughter
03:43
|

such a sweet sixteen
on the presidio green
smoking hash with the eighteens
don’t grow up so fast
I swear it'll pass
loosing sight
of the little girl dressed in white
she's never had a taste
she’s never been touched
so what can i do
i’ll drink more than the both of you
i’ll put a smile on your face
i’ll drink the whole case
don’t grow up so fast
I swear It'll will pass
do you see yourself in me?
is it resent or envy?
I’m learning from our mistakes
am I your daughter?
and I just wish so could’ve known her
so hold me tight
like you aren’t right
because you’ve never been wrong
since you decided to be a mom

Forgive Me
04:20
|
|||
|
waiting in line to say goodbye
should I just leave before we talk
you drove me here in your car
you're drinking a beer
you said you would stop
every Friday it’s the same
I’m driving you home
I’m taking care
it’s driving me insane
I’m biting my nails
I’m picking my scabs
I don’t know if I should go back
and I don’t know myself at all
I’m loosing myself
it’s all my fault
the lessons I’ve learned, the things that I’ve done
won't you forgive me for this one?

Nevermine
05:26
|

|
three missed calls, it’s a sign of his withdrawal
seven mistakes, I’m not lucky, it wasn’t fate
mattress tied to the top of my car
driving down five with my scars
exposed
knowing I waited
knowing I tried
knowing you sat there without me in mind
you were always hers never mine
the other women it seems, is what’s become of me
always behind the scenes, never to be seen
knowing I waited
knowing I tried
knowing you sat there without me in mind

I’ve always like new towns
there’s room for memories around
new faces doing all the talking
and my past is forgotten
so what does it mean to have a home?
because living on the road is getting old
I’m tired of being afraid
of wanting to stay in place
and I don’t want them to know my face
it’s my voice I hope that they save
and where I’ll go next, I cannot say
