I thought we were the same
didn't have to think twice
I thought we were the same
thought I knew what it meant
never even asked any questions
thought I knew what it meant
I thought we were the same
didn't even have to think twice
I thought we were the same
I thought we were in love
without even talking about it
I thought we were in love
I thought I had a plan
thought I knew just how it would happen
I thought I had a plan
thought I knew what it meant
never even asked any questions
thought I knew what it meant
I thought we were in love
I thought we were in love
I thought we were in love
I think I was a fool
I think I was a fool
I think I was a fool

Loaner

I light up like a burned out star
it always feels like the summer wherever you are
didn't think you would notice, but it's what I hoped for
never thought that a loaner could get me this far
you would give it a thought, if it's something you want
you could take it apart if you could see in the dark
hey, am I just another fade-out?
I can never find my way out
down on my luck
hey, am I wishing for a dead dream?
torn apart here with the dead leaves?
but I couldn't tell
I light up, like a burned out star
you always feel like a stranger wherever you are
didn't think I would see it, but it's what I searched for
never thought that a loaner could get me this far
hey, I am safe inside my hideout
an empty room with every light out
I'm feeling alone (bring my dead dreams in the light)
but I light up like a burned out star (feeling alone here)
it always feels like the summer wherever you are (torn apart here with the dead leaves)
didn't think you would notice, but it's what I hoped for (what I hoped for)
never thought that a loaner could get me this far (could get me this far)

I left my pentrails on your page though you've been asleep in your room for days
all the things I miss but I can't explain, put my fist through walls in a choked up rage
I left my pentrails on your page though you've been asleep in your room for days
I'm in love with you in a million, but before you cross, better look both ways
so the story goes
so the story goes
I left my pentrails on your page though you've been asleep in your room for days
all the things I miss but I can't explain, put my fist through walls in a choked up rage
I left my pentrails on your page though you've been asleep in your room for days
though your mission here always stays the same, let the sparks collide 'til it's all ablaze
so the story goes
so the story goes
I left my pentrails on your page though you've been asleep in your room for days
all the things I miss but I can't explain, put my fist through walls in a choked up rage
I left my pentrails on your page though you're lost at sea on your ship for days
I am overboard in a million ways, throw my anchor down though it never stays
so the story goes
so the story goes
so the story goes
so the story goes
I left my pentrails on your page though you've been asleep in your room for days
all the things I miss but I can't explain, put my fist through walls in a choked up rage
I left my pentrails on your page though you've been asleep in your room for days
all the things I miss but I can't explain, put my fist through walls in a choked up rage
I left my pentrails on your page though you've been asleep in your room for days
I'm in love with you in a million ways, it reminds me of when the sunlight fades

Truth Is,
07:54

we'll let the earth move beneath our feet
we'll never let the air cool down on you and me
I'm not sacred anymore of anything
no, I'm not scared anymore of anything
we'll kiss the road until we've had our fill
we're shaking off everything that held us still
no, I can't stop, I don't think I ever will
no, I can't stop, I don't think I ever will
I wanna live without myself
'cuz I want you and no one else
I wanna look inside your shell
in your eyes I'm bending space and
time with you is racing through
my mind is wrong about every single thing
and it hurts so much that I cannot feel a thing
we'll watch the sun sink beneath the waves
there's a million places that we loved, but that we couldn't stay
but I can't see how there's any other way
no I can't see how there's any other way
I wanna live without myself
'cuz I want you and no one else
I wanna look inside your shell
in your eyes I'm bending space and
time with you is racing through
my mind is wrong about every single thing
and it feels so good that I cannot feel a thing
...I've seen it walk across your skin
and I've heard it whisper in your ear
I've seen it hold onto your hand
it's echoing off your walls again
it's echoing off your walls again

I've Been Found Out

I am here, but I'm leaving at the same time
at the same time
I am here, but I'm leaving at the same time
at the same time
I'm alone, but I'm with you at the same time
at the same time
I'm alone, but I'm with you at the same time
at the same time
I'm alright, but I'm hurting at the same time
at the same time
I'm alright, but I'm hurting at the same time
at the same time
I'm in love, but I hate this at the same time
at the same time
I'm in love, but I hate this at the same time
at the same time
I'm alive, but I'm dying at the same time
at the same time
I'm alive, but I'm dying at the same time
at the same time
I can breathe, but I'm drowning at the same time
at the same time
I can breathe, but I'm drowning at the same time
at the same time

Speaking Death
04:36

I'm jumping at shadows, at war with my skin
you're caught in a shipwreck, would you let me in?
I'm jumping at shadows, the beast smells blood
I hang from the gallows, we wait for the flood
I'm a lame excuse for a life form
I'm a lame excuse for a life form
I'm a lame excuse for a life form
I'm jumping at shadows, you could never tell
I'm scratching the walls here at the bottom of the well
I'm jumping at shadows, at war with my eyes
I'm up on your rooftop, and I'm ready to dive
I'm a lame excuse for a life form
I'm a lame excuse for a life form
I'm a lame excuse for a life form
Is there life outside?
I'm a lame excuse for a life form

Illinois

If you're not careful, you just might still be here
just keep your eyes open
just keep your eyes
it's just an expression, but you find yourself stretched too thin
the midwestern winter threatens to freeze your skin
all of the anger building up inside our cars
just open your window, watch it float away
and all the distractions creeping up inside your head
have every intention of going blind
I'm a lean, mean, dying machine
the biggest mistake that you've ever seen was me
packing my bags to leave
nobody daydreams of living in Illinois
what can I offer you now? I couldn't say
and all the construction workers out on route 59
will they make a difference? I couldn't say
I'm a lean, mean, dying machine
the biggest mistake that you've ever seen was me
packing my bags to leave
You're a lean, mean, crying machine
the biggest mistake that you've ever seen was me
hurting your feelings
If you're not careful, you just might still be here
just keep your eyes open
just keep your eyes

What I Want
04:40

Fall into place, watching the love roll off your skin
familiar place won't let you in
call it off and stay alone
when it starts to hurt, you know you're home
fall into place, watching the days roll by so slow
lost in a lifeboat on your own
all of your reasons on your list
all of the things you missed
but I don't want what I want
no, I don't want what I want
fall out of place, wander around in threadbare shoes
the last of you mind that you won't lose
every time I say your name
do you feel the same?
do you feel?
but I don't want what I want
no, I don't want what I want
fall into place, nowhere you go will let you stay
familiar faces drift away
something you said sticks in my mind:
"maybe you'll find love when there's time"

smile, like you've seen me before
like I took all your pain away
smile, like you've known all along
that things would turn out this way
give me time,
give me time,
more time
take all the pictures you can
so the memories won't fade away
fill all the spaces you can
so you don't lose everything
give me time,
give me time,
more time
close your eyes and read my mind
my voice is all used up
smile, as you start to descend
you feel your heart hesitate
smile, as you're reaching the end
I wish I could take your place
give me time,
give me time,
more time
more time
I need more time

Onward and Downward
04:46

step out of sight, you're gonna dance right out of my mind
and into the air, this old ship is sinking
drown in the sea, you're climbing down
down next to me, I'm still a mistake
the hell was I thinking?
you're talking in your sleep again
you're talking in your sleep again
you'll never notice me again
we're all just blurs and stand-ins
we'll fade off this earth we're ending
cut at the seams, I'm the fine line where your nightmares
turn back into dreams, I don't know what's out there
time, let it freeze, when your eyes locked onto me
I still don't know, know just what my life means
you're talking in your sleep again
you're talking in your sleep again
you'll never notice me again
we're all just blurs and stand-ins
we'll fade off this earth we're ending
we're all climbing up these dirty stairs
we're all climbing up these dirty stairs
