Anatomy of a Crush

i'm feeling so blinded
by your shine
i wish you held my
hands through the world's grind
i can't seem to find you
but you're always in my head
i can't remind you
of the things i would have said
don't take your time
to figure out why
you couldn't untie
yourself to be mine
i can't seem to find you
but you're always in my head
i can't remind you
of the things i would have said
i wanna be a part of you
the part that stays
i guess that you already knew
i'd go away
i can't seem to find you
but you're always in my head
i can't remind you
of the things i would have said

Stick the Landing
04:03

we could fall in love easily
from here, from right here
let's try not to burn in the
atmosphere, atmosphere
i'll try and stick the landing
if you promise to
if you promise to
i guess it's time for us
to show our scars, show our scars
from wounds that we've been keeping
behind bars, behind bars
i'll try and stick the landing
if you promise to
if you promise to
now that we've cast ourselves
into this rhyme, to this rhyme
its up to us and that suits
you just fine, me just fine
i'll try and stick the landing
if you promise to
if you promise to

Myself Away
04:23
|

|
if i can let my thoughts roam
and lead my mind astray
i just might feel more at home
with myself away, myself away
as long as i'm incomplete
i've got it made
as long as this bittersweet
taste doesn't fade
if i can bang my heart on
these jagged days
it might break into something
to give away, to give away
as long as i'm incomplete
i've got it made
as long as this bittersweet
taste doesn't fade
myself away
to give away
as long as i'm incomplete
i've got it made
as long as this bittersweet
taste doesn't fade

House for the Leaving
04:39
|
|||
|
you'd figured it out
better off not dreaming
you casted your doubt
so that i'd stop believing
that's all you told me
from the very beginning
that's what you sold me
but i wasn't buying
after a while
and when i'd done some living
you watched me from miles away
i'd start returning
that's all you told me
from the very beginning
that's what you sold me
but in time i'd be buying
you're leaving me now
i'm the one left here breathing
with what time's allowed
in this house for the leaving
that's all you told me
from the very beginning
that's what you sold me
that i've bought now you're dying

Between Sundays

between sundays
another week has gone
gone and made you start
what you've already done
for so long now
you've always heard it's wrong
to keep hiding
what you've known all along
can't keep waiting
on something to come make it better
can't keep waiting
for what you really want
between sundays
it always comes undone
walking back from the steps
that you've begun
taking chances
to see if you'll outrun
what is keeping you
from what you should become
can't keep waiting
on something to come make it better
can't keep waiting
for what you really want
between sundays
it's time to wait your turn
wait and see if what you've got
makes others burn
for some more
of what you have barely learned
to say something new
when it's all been heard
can't keep waiting
on something to come make it better
can't keep waiting
for what you really want

Aelegy

if i'd have tried that much harder
if i'd have tried half as much as you
we would've gone that much farther
to where the sky and sea mix blues
where you were has been filled with air
that i can't breathe until i'm through
being sorry for the despair
and for all that was mostly true
you were the one that was better
at all the things that I could do
not very well if it mattered
but i was best at failing you
where you were has been filled with air
that i can't breathe until i'm through
being sorry for the despair
and for all that was mostly true

Just Don't Know
04:38
|

|
as another night
ensures the day has the fallen
over what it might have been
sounding kinda trite
this refrain i've been trawling
it's a net of knives i live in
in time i realized
i just don't know, just don't know
if get mesmerized
i'll let it show, let it show
it's taken time
to know that i won't figure
most of it out by hand
as long as you don't mind
i've only learned to slither
up the dizzy heights of sand
in time i realized
i just don't know, just don't know
if get mesmerized
i'll let it show, let it show
what i want
is probably not what i need
so if it's not
i won't be endlessly
in time i realized
i just don't know, just don't know
if get mesmerized
i'll let it show, let it show

Head Start to Light
04:10
|
|||
|
just when i feel like nothing is moving
toward a fight that I can't stop losing
losing my grip on what i always thought
i'd hang on, onto forever
remember to ask too much from this life
is something i wish i could forget
to make it real before i'm swallowed by night
i wanna feel kinda bright
the cosmos said it's alright
but with more time it just might
give me a head start to light
most of the time i'm almost choosing
between what might and what i have proven
with all that i was and what i always thought
i'd be, be forever
remember to ask too much from this life
is something i wish i could forget
to make it real before i'm swallowed by night
i wanna feel kinda bright
the cosmos said it's alright
but with more time it just might
give me a head start to light

Where All the Hearts Go
05:19
|
|||
|
don't seem to feel it
no words for this page
maybe there's nothing
left of me today
let's just pretend there's a place that's named
where all the hearts go on holiday
i guess i'll make it
one more time this way
i always imagined
there' s a better place
kinda reminds me about the time we stayed
where all the hearts go on holiday
i sorta feel like
there's more at play
and a little bit tragic
about how all things fade
sooner or later we'll all leave one day
where all the hearts go on holiday

Before We're Gone
04:43
|
|||
|
there we go again
just wasting our time
who knows if or when
we'll get what won't find
or what for all of us
might never see
let's be something half strong
and half wrong before we're gone
we are just beneath
but seem so far away
sometimes we feel so weak
sometimes we seize the day
same as it never was
forever be
let's be something half strong
and half wrong before we're gone
let's be something half strong
and half wrong before we're gone
