You’ll always know, I’ll always tell you so You’ll give to me and I’ll give you anything Born to bend, and twist, and take All the blows that life and time will create Free to give and make mistakes, And here to deal on turns along our way When my fingers were broke, you let me know You’ll always know, I’ll always tell you so You’ll give to me and I’ll give you everything
2.
Evens 01:49
When you’re looking through eyes that won’t explain things You better never stop believing in pain I get the best You know you little sidewinder, you’re full of surprises You keep up, It’s never enough You keep me evens, you keep me even stevens Keep it right, but keep it held back Until your arms stop bleeding And take, take a little look You know that all of martyrs are just wearing disguises You keep up, it’s never enough You know you keep me evens, you keep me even stevens
3.
Breaks 02:26
Window, clear and falling in Making all that sense I’ll never think twice Part the whole to amend I won’t be here again Won’t you ever ask me why Don’t you ever lock horns with anyone that you trust Don’t you ever be alarmed when everything Breaks in the light and the darkness just alike
4.
Mosquitoes 02:18
Say my name, even now We can fall apart and be okay Rolling with the tides and punching waves Oh, we’ll never die or be erased Man, all things are real You know some days are mosquitoes and there is no reason On my own, easy now Once all the air left my lungs All the little strings that kept me hung Far from any home and there you’ll come Oh, with friends like these You know some days are mosquitoes that don’t bother me though In a world so cold, I could build a house with all the strength Of every moving part giving place Even when the deal is not so straight We will be just fine You know some days are mosquitoes, that’s alright with me though
5.
Party Lights 03:37
Where do the party lights come from Way up in the sky I want to go to that party, but I wont cause it’s not mine No I won’t, cause it’s not mine Come on with honest explosion That hits between the eyes I can leave in under ten minutes, or stay out all night I’ll stay out all night
6.
Spin It 02:08
Tell me things I’ll do almost anything Cause I, I’m on a need to know And you’ve got to let me know Drink with me I’ll drink almost anything Just make sure the fire keeps And bend your favorite knee Each day just moves so fast I just want to spin it And never let it stop
7.
Butterscotch 03:01
Butterscotch and broken clocks They line the streets where you were born All the while, you never stopped and said alright You just closed the door Oh my my you’re on the phone with All the folks from the mausoleum I adore you, rip the world To see your face light up the dark So sweet to me Always on my tongue
8.
You bring winter coats I’m lit and made of smoke I, I’m with you I’ll wear chimney pants And do a naked dance I, I’ll be your fool
9.
I can feel it, boiling over The heart of another winter The day is over before I get there No shadows, dark figures Oh I can’t wait, no more I’m so old – You’re far too young So bitter – And here because To follow – It’s what you want This winter Come on August Streets full of people We’ll escape their reaches Oh I can’t wait, no more Just take a moment for this front to blow over Takes rain and sunshine, makes all those rainbows I’m here because – You’re here because It’s what I want – It’s what you want So let’s get up – I’m all git up And get out Oh, never wait
10.
The wind cuts through my sleep And howls like a dog in heat How long, How long To be a better friend And take all the hands I left When I thought the world was large How long Till I’m not second besting I can’t get off my feet Or hold down a thought to ease the night And turn the day How long must I wait Till I’m not second besting myself
11.
Let Me In 03:28
No future to continue the mistakes that live here Taking tolls on a long avenue First up, beginners, make space for the quitters Giving a home to nothing that is new Follow, don’t lead me, to fields that are seething Billowing fog on a perfect afternoon Okay, I believe it, gold days, dark seasons Swallow me whole, don’t let it get away I falter on your honch and be your favorite number one And if we hold back on a punch, and be your favorite number one Be your favorite number one Be your favorite number one
12.
Coming Home 01:17
People live in houses, live in buildings full of flames We are not those people that get hung up on the breaks Believe me now, I’m not the same I’m coming home to meet you in the bed that I made Here in open water, open-hearted and okay We can feel the needle drop, now you’re off the fence All in front and pushing the pace I’m coming home to meet you in the bed that I made Now I know you’re on your way You’re coming home to meet me in the bed that you made
13.
Every day you’re getting older Our faces recess like old jack-o-lanterns Every day if it’s not something new It’s something old that still keeps me confused Every day, you’re getting older too Every day sweat and forfeit And feel the heart beat everything out of it Every day if it’s not something new It’s something old that still keeps me confused Every day, you’re getting older too Here comes your life, Here comes your life Here comes that long lost feeling again One more time One more time In love, I can feel it I’m in love, but I only get one chance In love, heaven help me I’m in love, I only get one chance Your face, your face It’s who you are You’re always best in show, but you never show off Here comes your life, Here comes your life Here comes that long lost feeling again One more time One more time
14.
If you want heartache And a burgundy rose I am on fire, my arms are aboil And if I never, met any other one I’d be so happy cause You touch me and let go Hide all the toothless Smiles that we give Tell me your secrets, secrets never live In a place, surrounded by us Be there when it comes And touch me, and let go It’s just enough To make us both believe that there are better things And all in front Is where it ought to be Touch me, and let go
