Fifteen Hours

She said I think I'm in love with you
And I said you ought to listen to this Henry Rollins interview
Then I asked myself what the fuck is wrong with you
She said come to Tampa and I drove to Raleigh
It was 2 AM and I could have been kissing her outside of Amalie
Fifteen hours behind is not a measure of distance or a matter of time
For me it's a state of mind
For me it's a state of mind
She said I'm sorry I'm so into you
And I think I said you have nothing to be sorry for
And I guess I felt sorry too
Because then I asked myself what the fuck is wrong with you
She said you should have me on your apocalypse survival team
And I laughed back like I had no idea what that really means
But I know what that really means
Fifteen hours behind is not a measure of distance or a matter of time
For me it's a state of mind
For me it's a state of mind
And it feels like every day
Somebody I know falls in love and moves away
To flip their life up on its head
But most of those days I can't even get out of bed
Fifteen hours behind
Fifteen hours behind
Fifteen hours behind is not a measure of distance or a matter of time

Out There
03:10

I would say I always admired you
For the ways that we were different too
But then things changed and you became
More like the parts of me I wanted to peel
I used to feel like it was us against the world
Can you imagine my surprise when I saw you
I saw you out there
There were times that we were young and dumb
And we tried never to get old and numb
But years went by and you left my side
Along with everything I thought to be real
I used to feel like it was us against the world
Can you imagine my surprise when I saw you
I saw you out there
I saw you out there
And we made our own mistakes along the way
But I never thought we'd pay
For the things we used to say no one could steal
I used to feel like it was us against the world
Can you imagine my surprise when I saw you
I saw you out there
I saw you out there
I saw you out there
I saw you out there

Pull The Stars Down

They're building new buildings
They're gonna block our view
And I do suppose it's payback in turn
For those we did the same thing too
Along bypasses and ring roads
I've been rerouting for years
When the feeling gets old and the question takes hold
Am I siding with love or with fear
So put on your good shoes and silence your phone now
Brave the trains and meet me across town
We'll go out spinning stories
Trying to pull the stars down
Trying to pull the stars down
At night the highways are humming
A little dimmer than they did back then
And oh the shadows they cast like pleas from lovers past
We're never meant to hear from again
But there's a buzzing in the back of my brain now
Like this conversation's happened before
And ain't it a shame to admit
Your favorite version of something you miss
Might not exist anymore
So put on your good shoes and silence your phone now
Brave the trains and meet me across town
We'll go out spinning stories
Trying to pull the stars down
Trying to pull the stars down
Trying to pull the stars down
We'll go out spinning stories
Trying to pull the stars down
Trying to pull the stars down
And did you take a couple pictures
So you could prove that you were there
Or did you stick to that tired old narrative
That nothing ever happens here
So put on your good shoes and silence your phone now
Brave the trains and meet me across town
We'll go out spinning stories
Trying to pull the stars down
Trying to pull the stars down
Trying to pull the stars down
We'll go out spinning stories
Trying to pull the stars down
Trying to pull the stars down

Bad Hand
06:31
|
|||
Loss can fill small towns as fast as word gets around
Like there’s news about the neighbors underground
You say it’s in how the pieces fit
It’s in the clenching of my fists shaking
It’s where my eyes avert when connection fails
To where we hail
Where the bar’s as low as we can set it
And where we go to gather and recall
Try to forget
If we’ve got to die my only fear was doing it here
But you caught a bad hand
You caught a band hand
And you scorch the land
Don’t you understand
When we can’t stand we scorch the land
There’s a shake in your demeanor
It’s meaner than the rising sun
So you go saying things like you won’t see another one
You think home is where you hang your anger
Had the future ever failed
To take what’s done us wrong and catch the gale
Set them to sail
Where the bar’s as low as we can set it
And where we go to gather and recall
Try to forget
If we’ve got to die my only fear was doing it here
But you caught a bad hand
You caught a band hand
But imagine if we were sitting in the car
Just you and the weight of a small world and me
Still free to take flight rather than flicker like the lights
Outside the bowling alley OTB
When I curse all it holds I guess I’m cursing you too I suppose
My angel of mercy
There before me with her hand on the garden where all life grows
And she says stop
It’s just another tired place somewhere in America
But I have to see it
I have to live with it
I can’t forgive it
I’d like to watch it burn down
And I'll say it again
When we can’t stand we scorch the land
