The Only One Swimming
Wait, you said the water is cold Hey, I think your comfort is sold You know I just wanna get wet First, I gotta pay off some debt Sometimes I am the only one swimming Sometimes I am the only one swimming Do you wanna dip in your toe How else are you ever gonna know Once my head goes all the way down I am not afraid I will drown Sometimes I am the only one swimming Sometimes I am the only one swimming When the water starts to get warm Then you're gonna weather my storm This is not a bet I will lose Babe, 'cause I have paid all my dues Sometimes I am the only one swimming Sometimes I am the only one swimming Way Over There Tell me where you left your expectations And what it is you started wanting more Have you ever really lost your patience What is it that you can't pick off the floor Way over Way over there Way over Way over Talk to me about your childhood nightmares When was the last time that you cried alone Have you ever loved so much you got scared Or felt your wanting rattle in your bones Way over Way over there Way over Way over, I'll Stay over Stay over there Stay over Stay over Purring and panting and wearing no collar I'll lay where you want me to Give me all the things that I can't pay for And I'll forgive myself what's overdue Have you ever seen what costs are in store Looking for someone who's loyal too Way over Way over there Way over Way over, I'll Stay over Stay over there Stay over Stay over while You're over You're over there You're over Way over there It’s All Your Skin You said that you would wait for me But I'm moving fast I saw you throw some bait for me That won't make it last When I clean beneath my fingers It's all your skin Even when I close my door You're still comin' in I heard you say it wasn't worth it To figure it out I saw you wash your hands in the dirt To cover your doubt When I clean beneath my fingers It's all your skin Even when I close my door You're still comin' in I know you find some value in it Whatever we got You know I find some value in it Whatever we're not When I clean beneath my fingers It's all your skin Even when I close my door You're still comin' in When I clean beneath my fingers It's all your skin Even when I close my door You're still comin' in Favors Still Run Deep I made it home in the morning And it was warm without a warning So I shed my skin I felt so tired in the daytime I get so wired when he arrives I see the veil is thin Is it alright Is it alright Tell me, is it alright Is it alright Is it alright Tell me, is it alright I take more shit than I'd prefer to I make more money than I used to I think I'll be just fine He played my fingers on the table On steel, we lingered when we were able To color out of line Is it alright Is it alright Tell me, is it alright Is it alright Is it alright Tell me, is it alright It is alright It is alright I say it is alright It is alright It is alright I say it is alright I started driving in the gloaming Did not want to see where I was roaming I never stopped to sleep Most days I get there with my own legs No more or less than I want to beg And favors still run deep And favors still run deep And favors still run deep Enough The last time I tried to break ground That patch of dirt was too tough I drank all my blood from the ground Until that dirt made me tough It wasn't all that rough I only hurt so much I tried to escape a car crash But that road was too tough I crawled through a pile of ash Until that road made me tough It wasn't all that rough I only burn so much Surely we still must be rotating toward the sun I climbed up a tree to see you But that view was too tough I fell through the branches to you Where our view made me tough It wasn't all that rough I only hope so much Surely we still must be rotating toward the sun I don't want anything else Except what feels like enough I won't ask for anything else If it feels like enough It shouldn't be that rough I only want so much You know I like it rough I always want so much Eat From Your Hands Take another turn in time Make another curve inside Break another steering wheel Shake another you don't feel And eat from your hands Eat from your hands Trace another scent of mine Taste another, unrefined Place another name at bay Chase another game in play And eat from your hands Eat from your hands Cross another broken bridge Toss another backwards hinge Wash another dirty skin Cause another falling in And eat from your hands Eat from your hands Eat from your hands Eat from your hands |
When To Burn
This parade I didn't see it come, I didn't see it come Where I laid Don't know where it came from, don't know where it come from I'd have paid More than just parts in sum, more than just parts in sum If they stayed I didn't see it come, I didn't see it come How we wonder When to burn Matters not If it's already our turn Where I stand I bet you didn't know, I bet you didn't know I had planned To be a blazing show, to be a blazing show With a band But I played it on my own, I played it on my own With these hands I bet you didn't know, I bet you didn't know How we wonder When to burn Matters not If it's already our turn There I fell I watched the flames go higher, I watched the flames go higher When we smell Smoke than there must be fire, smoke than there must be fire Please don't tell Me that I'm on a wire, me that I'm on a wire Heard you yell I watched the flames go higher, I watched the flames go higher How we wonder When to burn Matters not If it's already our turn Hunt For The Sound I've always been that kind of hound Dirty feet on the kill You're in the bushes making sounds I think I heard what you will From your mouth I've always been that kind of hound Sniffing for something ahead I know you wanna feel safe and sound I just want everyone fed From my mouth On the hunt for the sound On the hunt for the sound On the hunt for the sound On the hunt for the sound I've always been that kind of hound Circling under the gun You pull the trigger from the ground You know you don't have to run From my mouth On the hunt for the sound On the hunt for the sound On the hunt for the sound On the hunt for the sound Remember when you used to turn back time Now where ya start ain't ever what you find I've always been that kind of hound Rarely feeling regret Sometimes that means the long way around So what I want I can get From your mouth On the hunt for the sound On the hunt for the sound From your mouth On the hunt for the sound On the hunt for the sound From your mouth On the hunt for the sound On the hunt for the sound From your mouth On the hunt for the sound On the hunt for the sound Since I Felt Lonely You know it's been a while Since I felt lonely Every time I walk that mile I think if only I could just rewind the clock To when he used to know me Doesn't take too long to stop 'Cause nobody owns me I don't wanna burn too fast Seen enough ash under the snow Someone told me once I crash Sound is what never really goes I have the greatest sense That we're moving forward On a path of slight eclipse Still I'm moving toward Something tasting bittersweet Leaves me wanting more Ripened in an early seat Fingers on the floor I don't wanna burn too fast Seen enough ash under the snow Someone told me once I crash Sound is what never really goes I don't wanna burn too fast Seen enough ash under the snow Someone told me once I crash Sound is what never really goes You know it's been a while Since I felt lonely Every time I walk that mile I think if only I could just advance the clock To when he's gonna know me Doesn't take too long to stop 'Cause nobody owes me I don't wanna burn too fast Seen enough ash under the snow Someone told me once I crash Sound is what never really goes I don't wanna burn too fast Seen enough ash under the snow Someone told me once I crash Sound is what never really goes You know it's been a while Since I felt lonely Without These Promises You could have wasted our time more I would have let you go all the way in the red I'll try to stop feeling so sore 'Bout what's unsaid If you've forgiven somebody Don't for a second think that I am not at risk Of turning into nobody Who would you miss I'm ok without these promises You're ok without them, too You could have paid for our crime more I would have let you go all the way in the black I always open the front door Before the back Too many days I remember Love only coming with conditions, that's not you I'm really trying to surrender To something new I'm ok without these promises You're ok without them, too I'm ok whichever way it is I'm always waking up thirsty I take a sip like a new best friend you just met We go to bed when we're dirty Don't get up yet I like to sleep with the fan on When even after it's dark the air is so thick That as I'm dreaming I still want Something to drink I'm ok without these promises You're ok without them, too I'm ok whichever way it is We're ok, you want it, too Walking On Frozen Water Who's gonna hold you up Do you think you'd recognize the sound Of ice cracking underfoot If you knew you were about to drown I ain't no savior But I'm walking on frozen water There ain't no danger When you know you've already suffered If you had asked me Would I try again with another I'd tell you watch me As I'm walking on frozen water Sometimes you sound the same As my daddy did when I was young I understand that pain Changes shape but it is never gone I ain't no savior But I'm walking on frozen water There ain't no danger When you know you've already suffered If you had asked me Would I try again with another I'd tell you watch me As I'm walking on frozen water If you could hear your voice Through my ears, I wonder what you'd say If you could feel your choice Through my veins, I wonder how you'd play I ain't no savior But I'm walking on frozen water There ain't no danger When you know you've already suffered If you had asked me Would I try again with another I'd tell you watch me As I'm walking on frozen water I saw you write My name in the snow When the melting fights With you, where will I go After the springtime comes What new life will your fresh puddles feed I can survive a flood If it won't wash away what I need I ain't no savior But I'm walking on frozen water There ain't no danger When you know you've already suffered If you had asked me Would I try again with another I'd tell you watch me As I'm walking on frozen water I'd tell you watch me As I'm walking on frozen water Oh baby, watch me I'm walking on frozen water |
