I'll close my eyes and I will fall asleep to dream of a world where you would follow me and if we fall apart by the morning light I wanna freeze that moment in time In this moment in time I wanna freeze right here When I stand before your eyes I wanna break that stare I remember talking over everything But now there's a wall of glass that's caught between and if we break the glass and we bleed and cry I wanna freeze that moment in time In this moment in time I wanna freeze right here When I stand before your eyes I wanna break that stare

Ostrich 03:48
Wrapped up in this cold, New England winter I stayed locked inside my room Racked my mind up over you and all without a sound, without a wimper I read Ginsberg under sheets feeling like a total creep How could I prove myself to you when I don't know quite what you want me to do But I don't want to hide my head underneath the sand or the water I just want to be Tonight I'll dream that I've become and ostrich and I'll run so far away in a sea of tape delay I'll feel like I've been holding myself hostage and I'll wake up in cold sweats all alone over my bed But how could I change my point of view when I ain't got nothing to pull me through But I don't want to hide my head underneath the sand or the water I just want to be aaaahhh!

I ain't doin' no more talking I'll hide away in time for you to see that when you're done with all your conversation I'm just pretending that you found me I've barely even broken free got no excuse to disagree but you'll get nothing out of me If I feel no danger, then why can't I breath? If I feel no danger, then why can't I let it be? I'm stuck inside a memory of all your facts of things that used to be and you you're doing too much changing and I'm just pretending that you found me I've barely even broken free got no excuse to disagree but you'll get nothing out of me If I feel no danger, then why can't I breath? If I feel no danger, then why can't I let it be?

You're in the middle of a lie shaping yourself up to size pretending to be something that you're not I heard you crying on the phone Don't you remember coming home? and if I threw the first stone, I pray my aim's dead on when all your fancy friends are gone I'm shifting shape again, oh no I'm shifting shape again, oh no I tried to take you with me past the boundries of the thoughts that kill me So you put yourself in line and you tried to redefine the things you always seemed to think you'd need but when these 9 years pass away and you see the light of day do you even think you can be freed? and if you come on home to me I'm shifting shape again, oh no I'm shifting shape again, oh no I tried to take you with me past the boundries of the thoughts that kill me

I don't know why I even tried. Your silver smile spat rusted lies Not that you never let it show, but I was too young and dumb to know I've been starting over baby I don't need you by my side I've been starting over baby and it's time I said goodbye My heart is shining brighter now I've seen the light and cast you out Don't want to brag but, I have to say I don't need you and I'm OK. I've been starting over baby I don't need you by my side I've been starting over baby and it's time I said goodbye

Full Moon 04:12
I was fine getting back into my shoes, after falling apart pushed rewind put it back into it's case before I had time to start a full moon can't shoot me in the back and walk out of line from my view all covered up in black and shivering down my spine I was blind pulling teeth out with a pen under every light I found myself standing closer to the edge without a rope in sight. a full moon can't shoot me in the back and walk out of line from my view all covered up in black and shivering down my spine (summer, august, 1949, 1949, 1949, summer, august, 1949, 1949)

Worse Things 02:56
Darkness looming around me lately I cannot shake this feeling I won't be here too long You tried, but down inside it stopped you left you with your excuses excuses to be alone But if you let me, let me, let me Let me love you Don't you know that there are Worse Things you could do? And if you let me, let me, let me Let me love you Well don't you know that we could start over a'new. I've been locked up inside my bedroom Cooped up and feeling gloomy --Feel like I'm losing friends. It's been raining inside of my heart. Filled it right up and drowned me, Tore me to odds and ends. But if you let me, let me, let me Let me love you Don't you know that there are Worse Things you could do? And if you let me, let me, let me Let me love you Well don't you know that we could start over a'new.

You took to me like a leaf takes to the wind when it's fallen from the trees Now we're said and done what I needed was a lover and what you needed was some fun You stole my heart You stole my heart You stole my heart You stole my heart You went on the run away and over me and you left me with the dust How can it be done? How can you just give it up? Why do fools fall outta love? You stole my heart You stole my heart You stole my heart You stole my heart my heart my heart my heart.

Assateague 02:47
Call for me. Why don't you call for me? Why can't you understand? It's a problem now. And if you see, that you need company I hope you take my hand, 'cause it's a problem now. Misery He loves his company so if you understand it's a problem now, Come with me. Hop down to Assateague. And we can try to solve our problems, now.

Bicycle 03:19
If you paid attention, honey You would see my face turn red. and if I forgot to mention, baby I will never turn my head and everytime that I fall it's hard but I get back on and then I ride along I'll remember always wear my helmet tight I'ma ride this out just like I ride my bike. I ride my bike. I love you just like a fixed gear, baby You're in style, but you don't make sense. And I burn Like a toaster, baby. I can hardly wait to break my bread. and everytime that I fall it's hard but I get back on and then I ride along I'll remember always wear my helmet tight I'ma ride this out just like I ride my bike. I ride my bike.

Running Dry 03:59
I went down, in the middle of a big fight-- Movin' out. Just to see it's running dry. It's running dry. and If you cared for a question, in the midst of another night, You'd see it's running dry. You'd see it's running dry. Can't you see me standing naked? I won't do nothing, if you don't make me. I was leading onto something If you can't hear me, I won't do nothing. Hold my hand, for a minute on the edge of the pier tonight and you'll see I'm running dry I'm running dry. And if you have my attention, don't waste it in the light Don't you see I'm running dry? Can't you see I'm running dry? Can't you see me standing naked? I won't do nothing, if you don't make me. I was leading onto something If you can't hear me, I won't do nothing.

(exit music) 04:43
(train noises) (secret track: 'When We Danced') When we danced alone in your bedroom I felt a way that I hadn't for a while. A mason jar, I filled up with sunlight, saved it for you in the hopes that you would smile. And I would like to sing along, cause I've been solo far too long When we live alone on the ocean, it's just a dream, but I've had it for a while. I super glued these things to a toaster, Gave it to you in the hopes that you would smile. And I would like to sing along, cause I've been solo far too long
