Just Because 03:20
We’re wasting our time Like we always do If nothing ever happens we’ll find other things to do Tap you on the shoulder Let you know I’m right You could mount your soapbox You could scream into the night Just Because If I need to If I would have cared at all But I’ve got so tired of it all It’s all done Just because I’ll afford to Oh, I’ll go until I won’t And I’ll settle down Power down I’ll turn off Far away any day curtains call to you But we’re wasting all our time Tensions raise, suffering, can you see it too And I’m feeling untied So ostentatious, face it, akin to what I won’t do I’ve been up for days just phasing out names of the past I knew Just because And it’s all in the name of progress When my backs against the wall And I would have stopped in good time when we’re old Just because If I need to If I would have cared at all But I’ve got so tired of it all it’s all done It’s done

Build 02:47
Well you could drown it in some alcohol You could count to three Or let it be Or you could pound your fist against the wall But that’s not me oh can’t you see But at least I stand for what I am If judgement day is just a stone's throw away Well at least I’ll say that I did it my way I’ll Just get back to you and me I’ve had a harder time with moving on But that’s just me questioning So if I built you up Would you bring me down You’re so dramatic and myself the same I wanna turn it around So if I build you up Would you bring me down We keep on at it or just stay the same at least we do more than now....again And I think I could take you by surprise Wait outside And I think I’ve got bedroom covered eyes Wait outside Oh you keep you on at it oh you keep on saying At least we do more than now Oh you keep on at it or just stay the same At least we do more than now
3.
Stay your patience now the best is coming It’s building all our castles in the dirt But the highway signs don’t hear well when we’re all just on our way Nothing beats us breaking a new day Stay your worried doubt The truth ain't coming Round about of where oh do they go But the high times only hear you when the winds can blow your way When the brightest moments weather through the storm When the coming lights don’t see you When we’re all just passengers Wondering if directions ever turn Or stay the way it’s now Oh the way it’s now If you say the way it’s now is the way it’s now If you say the way it’s now is the way it’s now I would stay the way it’s now Does he really want What he hasn’t had before He keeping up the night Or knocking at the door You’ve seen it once you’ve seen it a thousand times before Or stay the way it’s now oh the way it’s now I would stay the way it’s now oh the way it’s now

In Theory 03:17
It’s like I’m going backwards Ticking down to zero fast I want to break old habits Learn to be a whole new man I want a stiff wind that can pick me up for real I want to hold it and still know that I can feel But it’s your cold didactic way of saying you know best Well you know best I want to stick that landing but can’t see far ahead of if We’ve all had trials we’ve been pulled away Damaged but we can come back some day We used to say we all are one but were from old passages And can I see you again Part of me in theory wants a cleaner slate One we can wash we can wipe away Says you, who then, we’re on the mend I will hold it if I can And can I see you again And it’s a stalling tactic used whenever you go by Don’t want to stick my neck out I want to get a second try I want to see horizons but not what’s here in front of me Of golden shores but nothing really speaks to me It’s all forever until you say you know what’s next Well you know best
5.
And it’s a shame that when we ought to We rarely get it right When the house lights have gone out the day is night In a crowd of silhouettes I, I can’t see anyone I close my eyes imagine all that I’ve not done But in truth it seems what we have so often is took And the hero dreams that someone's out of luck Breakdown, takedown Give up Breakdown, fake how You won Breakdown, shake out Your rut Breakdown, breakdown You won And far away is where I thought you’d Would wind up in the end On a mountain towards the sky looking down on us But in truth it seems what we have so often is took And the hero dreams that someone's out of luck And the past can seem so open ended and made all through our lives So I’ll live and breath and try to make my own luck
6.
Won't Speak 03:42
I won’t hear you I won’t vindicate your wants We’re vampires on city streets that do whatever they want Don’t waste another moment If you have it you try to hold it And I won’t keep you From feeling any less than the others And I won’t speak to That feeling of I’m carried away Yes sir It’s past time I won’t steam roll it I won’t pound it in the dirt I won’t dance around what I have to say I’ll give whenever it works Feeling up and down But still I can’t see Feeling up around But still I can’t sleep Feeling up and down But still I can’t sleep Don’t waste another moment If you have it you try and hold it Don’t you

Clearwater 03:07
We’re high above the peaks I can feel the air When we never speak Of the world out there How cities never sleep And I can’t keep creeping in Through these narrow alley streets Waiting till the sun goes down The wheels are turning, they’re turning, they’re turning, they’re turning To show it’s working, it’s working, it’s working So you say I don’t suite you well praise and hallelujah I could beat, beat, beat, beat it Words said loosely tie me to an easy chair So you say that why don’t you kick the world that rolled ya But you just can’t keep it on Saved by notions winding down but who’s up We’re steadier than clear water We’re steadier than clear water We’re high above the peaks We’re steadier than clear water And words can never sink Waiting till the sun goes down So save your tired speech I’ve heard it all before Some words can never sink Even when you steer the goddamn boat So say then what you mean I think it’s warmer here outside And steady like a stream Like the clear water

C'mon 03:55
And Passerby on the street We’re moving into the light Imagining it’s a dream And everything is allright But wouldn’t it be nice if it’s done But the sirens only scream when come on, come on, come on, oh come on And wouldn’t it be nice if it’s done Is anybody thinking come on come on How nothing ever living is done And every single moment is gone Is anybody thinking come on come on We’re living here but do we belong When every single moment is gone And every single moment is wrong And heaven still won’t wait Oh even if we do it tonight Even if we hang up our dreams Hoping everything is alright But happenstance won’t end Cause nothing really stops So stack up and defend With everything you’ve got And these ceiling fans won’t do And I wish I could scale up this great big castle but in truth Would I were you I would take things as they come And would I were you I would make all these mistakes and just reel them back But if it’s true And would I were you I would take things as they come
9.
Heaven 04:11
Unmitigated, unrelenting, soul crushing defeat isn’t all that bad if you can make the most of it But I can’t stand losing arguments if you know just what I mean Scanning station after station through the boulevard Just one mistake and goodbye heaven Set a course and get the hell straight out of here Where lines are crossed, connections severed Half the way from all the darkness out to here But I want a better circumstance Rather dissolute than feign relent Salutations only take you so far This side of heaven So I’ll write it in my calendar, I will keep it all in mind Here’s to hoping things will turn out different from the last time So if life is like a circle navigation’s so easy We can always find our way back to the start We’re hanging back but you can join us Leaving scores of disappointment in our wake We’re have to haves but what’s the point of Having lots of little clever things to say So just please give me a second chance Would you throw out all this circumstantial Evidence that tells us who we are This side of heaven
10.
Hold Off 03:45
Clap your hands for second rate bands The ones that you don’t know The ones like me and you Who’ve suffered ills and heavy rate pills Who’ve got their scars to show Who are insatiable Egotistic maniacal And your well is drying up And the hardest part is giving up It’s what I’m going to miss And just hold off It don’t feel right Just hold off It don’t feel right It don’t feel right And we’ve had our thrills and our pictures in stills We’ve lined our ducks in a row Now do what’s practical And clap you hands for second rate bands The ones down on their luck Who’s wells are drying up But i could give a fuck And where were you wherein days are falling Or do you even think at all Or does it matter to not even bother Or to care about it at all Well I could care about it Just hold off It don’t feel right
