You'll See 03:55
YOU'LL SEE Tell me why Your bed sheets Don't smell quite the same After I come and then I leave I'll pretend This is all my fault And all the doubt I feel Is I'm not trying hard enough We'll pretend This is all our fault Can't look each other in the eyes Without asking why We ever loved each other at the start Your knees are bruised From all the pews But who is really there The ones who you can't Seem to find Oh no you're wrong about me you'll see you'll see You'll pretend This all your fault How many metaphors did you here Before your mom and I stopped Returning all your calls Your knees are bruised From all the pews But who is really there The ones who you can't Seem to find Oh no you're wrong about me you'll see you'll see I'll pretend We'll pretend You'll pretend We'll all pretend Still can't see clear of who's looking down on you The suns out of focus but I'm in plain view Do Sunday mornings means shit When I am not in them Because when afternoon hits Who is smiling now Oh no you're wrong about me you'll see you'll see This is all your fault

Painted Gold 02:57
PAINTED GOLD Oh I know You'll try and calm her down But you don't Have the touch I did Have you found out reasons Why you won't work out If I didn't then you never will Oh I know I try not to focus on How ya'll sleep Birds eye view Of a love more sweet Her lips are painted gold But you're no trophy They belong to me
3.
Get Better 04:25
GET BETTER You get gravel in your knees Wishing it were me I don't want to think I don't want to Of your familiarity Coping with everything And then telling me Don't tell me I guess we'll call it new years Or a summers day Till you have something new to say Oh I can't hold on for long I'm not strong So anything would be great Well it just happened to be We had the same names Twenty three calls you missed Trying to find someone to blame I guess we'll call it new years Or a summers day Till you have something new to say Oh I can't hold on for long I'm not strong So anything would great If you can't sleep tonight Then I'm doing alright If things were to get better than they Would have already changed

Tampa Nugget 04:55
TAMPA NUGGET You'd pick up a penny But let go of your wife Is that what you taught me On my mothers porch Collecting change I'm sorry Things can't change Reflecting on the fact You miss her dearly now You can't change I want to hear the old war stories Tell me of your brother and their kids Was it Wilson building churches Spreading gospel to all the families Those pews are dwindling down every year Every other Saturday My mothers smile builds To see her fathers face You'd pick up quarter But let go of your life Were you just too scared to fight You say you're afraid More days behind you than in front I say You're not trying hard enough You didn't try I don't think We can dig more plots To plant flowers in your place
5.
Wasted Kids 03:30
WASTED KIDS I can't believe I'm seeing you here again At Angie's apartment I guess I'll refresh Stale conversations While you light your cigarette I can't believe I'm seeing me here again Been on my phone for hours Maybe warm up to the idea of talking To anyone at all I can't stay for long But I brought my fathers scotch Wasted on wasted kids Wasted on wasted kids I can't stay for long I can't stay I can't believe We're naked again Am I taking his place for an hour Do your regrets ever outweigh your actions Would you answer your phone if he texts I can't believe I wasted my time Worrying about Things that don't matter Starting to loosen up in my own skin I don't think I should wear it at all

Nature Walk 02:18

Mason Dixon 04:03
MASON DIXON Don't even try kid You'll be stuck in basements You can drive around Don't count the exits Pick apart inspirations You can't accomplish Why'd you have to go and Ruin a good thing Lose the confidence kid Because you don't fit in I'm crossing mason dixon And you're stuck home drinking Thanks for the time you wasted anyways I didn't go ruin a good thing Lose the confidence kid Because you don't fit in I'll lose the confidence in What you're saying I'm crossing mason dixon And you're stuck home drinking I'll burn your house down I'll crash into your car down 75 I'll raise your children and love your wife And I'll be laughing the whole time I'll lose the confidence in What you're saying I'm crossing mason dixon And you're stuck home drinking

New Jacket 03:41
NEW JACKET I bought this jacket A fucking week ago I'm starting to wonder why All the seams are broke Well I'm starting to think that You ripped them out Pour one last drink down Your pretty little mouth Hey who's to say Being alone would be too lonely any way And hey who's to say I'd be happier if I stayed You better call me when you're gone You said before I did something wrong So I can reach you while you're drinking And hey I thought I heard you say Something loving but I guess that's a mistake Hey who's to say Being alone would be too lonely any way And hey who's to say I'd be happier if I stayed
