time and time again
breath and count to ten
there are no accidents
somebody told me
everything I’ve been
i saw in magazines
never what i seemed
it was the old me
i’m gonna be
just right
catalogue
in mint condition
i’m gonna be
bright eyed
now in color
early edition
i’m gonna be
new
i’m gonna be
new
not too late to start
an imperfect work of art
hitched up to a star
i've begun to
stay up late at night
constructing prototypes
oh the things I’ll do
because I want to
CHORUS
I’m gonna be
sure-fire
they'll discover
what they've been missing
I’m gonna be
empire
there's no other
can do like this one
i’m gonna be
just right
catalogue
in mint condition
i’m gonna be
bright eyed
now in color
early edition
i’m gonna be
new
i’m gonna be
new

Hold On
04:02

i lived a dead year of caution
i took my strange heart to auction
all i knew was o my god when
i first saw you
you keep your head up in the air
you know that i could take you where
you wouldn’t care who doesn’t care
cause they don’t know you
i hear the screaming in your blood
could i be your ordinary love
all the consequences of
they think they own you
we are miles above that now
but who are we when we touch down
is it china or chinatown
just below you
hold on
if you want
i got you
we walk this rope without a net
leave back what hasn’t happened yet
forget the birds around your head
the things they told you
those futures hanging by a string
the threads laid down for following
false ties and and imitation things
nothing to show you
there is no perfect outcome
there is no perfect another one
we’ll do this thing until it’s done
if you want to
straight up or watered down
what's gonna happen now
is it china or chinatown
just below you
hold on
if you want
i got you
i lived a dead year of caution
i took my strange heart to auction
all i knew was o my god when
i first saw you
oh my god
i first saw you

Stuck Behind a Train
03:16
|
|||
in my head i put the window down
calling for you
and i drive in circles with nothing but a name
phantom step makes my feet not know what to do
will the fake who told the future make it all come true
please know
i was on on my way
i was stuck behind a train
went back the way i came
please know
backwards is the longest way around
in my head is a heartbeat sound
in my head i try to guess how i look in your heart
imagining the exact position of your mouth
while you make the sound of words unsaid
while you make no sound the words fall out
please know
i was on on my way
i was stuck behind a train
went back the way i came
please know
backwards is the longest way around
in my head is a heartbeat sound
i was stuck behind a train
i was stuck behind a train
i was stuck behind a train

Home in My Love
04:08
|
|||
you’re free as felons
sound as a savage
you’d be hungry in heaven
but you’re home
you're as mild as a maelstrom
frugal as a feast
and a hundred miles from harbor
you are no one’s to keep
but you’re home
you’re as subtle as a siren
heavy as heat
i’m as humble as harvard
dry as a drink
and we burn the coals back to fire again
when you’re home in my love
you’re a crooked constellation
a tame or torrid tide
and it don’t matter where you're going
when you're home
and we burn the coals back to fire again
when you’re home in my love
you’re home in my love
home in my love

Royal Blue
03:14

standard issue cotton sheet
a fort the wind cannot defeat
the moon is caught up in a tree
stars remain in revelry
and you
you’re wrapped in royal blue
you
you’re wrapped in royal blue
is that the sound you sing in my mouth
you put your face to my face
the moon is cut down from a tree
what remains
remains in revelry
and you
you’re wrapped in royal blue
you
you’re wrapped in royal blue
you
you’re wrapped in royal blue
you
you’re wrapped in royal blue

Summer Blade
03:06
|
|||
noon is a gun scatters us apart
moon is remote control for the heart
you can disappear in many ways
and leave them begging for the summer blade
we had more forever when
i was your bread you my medicine
but night got longer every day
waiting for the summer blade
sometimes i drive 'til i can’t find home
sometimes my mind is only snow
you can disappear in many ways
on the cutting floor of the summer blade

Only Fire
05:01
|
|||
like water
like water
from the split of your lip
speak louder
words
like fire
like fire
from the deep of the spell
you were under
burns
so quiet
why so quiet
now
from the bottom
from the bottom of the wild wild wild
from the bottom of the wild wild wild
now we’re halfway up
now we’re halfway down
ash and smoke
spun round and round
we're halfway up
we're halfway down
ash and smoke
spun round and round

and when i go
will not go alone
i’ll be
with me
and when you go
do not go alone
take you
with you
and when i go
will not go alone
i’ll be
with me
and when you go
do not go alone
take you
with you
the road
is home
we know

Machine Jurassic
04:39
|
|||
break the roads, rip out the trees,
the sun is drunk on the concrete
i wanna see ahead for miles
bring down everything
i wanna see ahead for miles
bring down everything
doze it down
the sun is setting
is what we had synthetic
i wanna see ahead for miles
machine jurassic
i wanna see ahead for miles
machine jurassic
everything that came between
has changed into a quiet green
i wanna see ahead for miles
bring down everything
i wanna see ahead for miles
bring down everything

Cracked Plate
04:22
|
|||
in a southern town
without a sound
i’ve kept you
off of their tongues
a secret to some
you hold me
under the water
it keeps getting hotter
i want to
wash this away
unsay what i say
won’t you
put me down
but put me down easy
i’m a cracked plate
put me down
but put me down easy
i’m a cracked plate
crawling to land
satellite hands
surrounding
all legs and my arms
the water is warm
i wonder
how is it real
i’m holding you still
could never
wash this away
unsay what i say
i want you
to put me down
but put me down easy
i’m a cracked plate
put me down
but put me down easy
i’m a cracked plate

ooh my love
gold for eyes and eyes for sterling
couldn’t keep the fire from burning
ooh my love
night was long and night was calling
no i couldn’t stand from falling
heavy is the head that wears the crown
how high you've hung the moon won’t you come down
ooh my love
gold for eyes and eyes for sterling
we were tried and still found wanting
ooh my love
love was wrong but it kept calling
eyes of stone you saw me darling
ooh my love
knives for eyes and eyes for sterling
no I couldn’t run for wanting
