Tigers Jaw - Never Saw It Coming
I played with fire, I burned it all down.
Well, I made more mistakes than you can count.
Major League - Seasons
And I can’t lie to myself forever
Even if every step forward is five steps back
At least I’m getting somewhere
The American Scene - Last Chopper Out Of Saigon
Tell me what it was you think you missed the most,
Was it the city lights reflecting off the coast?
Or my self-destructive style?
You could hear me sing for miles and miles and miles,
About the hand that I was dealt being so unfair
Oh my god, just to think I’d be caught at square one once again,
And I know how that sounds
But I swear to God that I’ll be coming back around again…
I think I’m almost fine for the first time in a long time.
I’m finding out why none of this made sense when I was on my back.
I started picking up the slack that I let float away over the past 365 days.
We were spending late nights on the phone,
After months without a single call back home.
And for a second I thought you were making me okay
But, then I took a step back and remembered all the wasted days.
Maybe everyone’s right, maybe I spent too much time
Collapsing in on myself.
I think I’m done collapsing in on myself.
I think I’m almost fine for the first time in a long time.
I’m finding out why none of this made sense when I was on my back.
I started picking up the slack that I let float away over the past 365 days.
I’ll take a step out of my mind;
Draw open the blinds; let the world back in once again,
‘Cause I spent a summer making promises I never planned to keep.
I spent the spring before in bed wanting nothing more than to stay asleep.
She said, “Just settle down a little, settle down kid…
Just settle down a little, settle down…”
Alright, I’ll settle down a little, I’ll turn my shit around…
Yeah, I’ll settle down a little, and turn my shit around!
I think I’m almost fine for the first time in a long time.
I’m finding out why none of this made sense when I was on my back.

Man Overboard - She’s Got Her Own Man Now
At my best, I’d suggest
I’ve been weird since she left.
It’s normal autumn stuff,
I guess I never thought enough.
Look at me almost free
from my crippling disease,
shoot bullets through my foot
I think that’d work out real good.
Call me out,
call me out,
she’s calling me out.
And I guess she didn’t know better cause she
Called me out.
Call me out,
she’s calling me out.
I guess that’s why
she’s got her own man now.
She’s doing fine.
She’s got her own man now
and I guess that’s why she called me out.
Call me out, whats she talking about?
I guess she didn’t know better
cause she’s got her own man now.
At my best
put to test
I’d score average or less.
I can’t apply myself
if I could just untie myself.
She wants the yes’s
gets the no’s
before long there she goes.
I guess she dug too deep
and now she’s just too bugged to sleep.
Call me out,
call me out,
she’s calling me out.
And I guess she didn’t know better cause she
Called me out.
Call me out,
she’s calling me out.
I guess that’s why
she’s got her own man now.
She’s doing fine.
She’s got her own man now
and I guess that’s why she called me out.
Call me out, whats she talking about?
I guess she didn’t know better
cause she’s got her own man now.
You made yourself the guest of honor
and the party got stopped
and everybody just went home.
A Loss For Words - Pirouette
We both sat there in denial
I was miles away
You dusted off your old flats
And you practiced your plies
Blank stares across an empty vacuum of stubbornness and vanity
Instead of saying what you really mean
You just dance away from me
I know your shadows
I’m engrossed in silhouette
You know just how that dance goes, my Queen of Pirouette
Cold breezes and colder shoulders to make this night complete
Do I dare drag my feet
Dare to sleep alone?
Will you keep dancing to the beat?
I know your shadows
I’m engrossed in silhouette
You know just how that dance goes, my Queen of Pirouette
I will scream it from the rooftop
Get this out of me
And bellow out of key
I’m too tired
And now I just want to fall asleep
But you just dance away from me
I know your shadows
I’m engrossed in silhouette
You know just how that dance goes, my Queen of Pirouette
Turnover - Sasha
I called you up to say goodnight
I thought that things would be alright
But I guess I was dead wrong
And I just want to stay asleep
Because thoughts of you are all I dream
But when I wake up you’re gone
For weeks the days I spent felt like forever
I couldn’t get you off my mind
I wondered how you got inside my head
And made me think that you were mine
I thought you meant it when you said forever
I guess that was a lie
I still get choked up when I think of you
It happens all the time
Well there’s a place that we used to go
I pass by now and feel alone
And wonder if you ever stop here like I do
And someone told me that they saw you there one night
Skipping rocks down by the water
All alone, tears in your eyes
For weeks the days I spent felt like forever
I couldn’t get you off my mind
I wondered how you got inside my head
And made me think that you were mine
I thought you meant it when you said forever
I guess that was a lie
I still get choked up when I think of you
It happens all the time
Your time’s all gone
It’s all been spent
Who’s left by your side
Not me anymore
And I don’t believe in fate
The only fate is the fate you make
Major League - Some Kids Just Can’t Hang
I’d rather pretend that I don’t know you then to ever have to admit I ever knew you at all
You will stay because you think you’re happy. You will stay because you don’t want to be alone.
Man Overboard - Rare
I’m cut off, out of the loop, back of the line.
Can’t get a word in,
Can’t feel your body close to mine.
And yeah, it’s really quite more painful than it sounds.
I can’t believe we’re losing the connection that we found.
I’m heavy with the weight of missing you, my dear,
And I would tell you how but you’re too far away to hear.
That this was the worst day,
Cause this was the first day that you’re gone.
I would like to think you’re okay without me
And your happy thoughts are rarely about me.
You’re so worth all of this torture.
You’re so worth all of this torture.
I’m fucked up, end of the noose, back of the line.
I feel sick when I think of the life I left behind.
And yeah, it’s really quite more painful than it sounds.
You barely gave a fuck before my body hit the ground.
I’m heavy with the weight of missing you, my dear,
And I would tell you how but you’re too far away to hear.

Cause this was the first day that you’re gone.
I would like to think you’re okay without me
And your happy thoughts are rarely about me.
You’re so worth all of this torture.
You’re so worth all of this torture.
This is the hardest time to keep your head up.
This is the hardest time to feel safe and sound.
This is the hardest time to keep your head up.
This is the hardest time to feel safe, to feel safe and sound.
I would like to think you’re okay without me
And your happy thoughts are rarely about me.
You’re so worth all of this torture.
You’re so worth all of this torture.
