Winter Song 01:05
I can't wait till summer, because all the leaves that fell this past year have been buried underneath a blanket of broken dreams. I think it's time to rake the yard and get all of those dead things out of the way. And let some new dreams grow up towards the sun, because I think that's where all living things come from. Don't let them get you down or kick you around today, because we've got the whole world yea we've got room to play!

Swingset 01:56
I missed you sittin' on that swing set on those September days when we used to dream about moving away. But now you're gone and I'm still here. Thanks for that beer you bought me last week when you came to visit me. Walking on those paths we used to walk and now we never talk because your too far away to share my company. It's too bad you're not here to make some memories because we have some good ones and there's plenty of room for more And we just wanted to be anywhere but herrrreerrree! So I'll sit around on this swing set and save this seat for youuuuu!

Body in the centerfold only for the young to hold It feels like you've struck gold, your blood runs cold Now this is the ending it's time to move on but you want to hold on to something that's not there

Distractions 02:42
It doesn't take a whole lot of time for a lot to happen. I can see the fire in your eyes was burning bright, but now you're taking chances, and you fell for the disguise, again. It doesn't take a whole lot of smoke in the sky to tell me that we're dying. So take these moments when rainbows reach across the sky because now I feel alive, again. And distractions can cause disasters but I don't care. With all these anxious actions, I just can't bare. So take me to the places that I long to go. Whoa oh oh It doesn't take a whole lot of thought to put your mind at ease, but the stars don't shine as bright anymore because the lights from all these cities are breaking up the sky, again.

Sometimes I wish it were a little different. Maybe, somehow like it used to be. Where are those feelings we had? And are we getting old when people at the show are just standing? Let's move around a little, show some feeling, show everyone we still care. Cause I sure as hell feel a little different. People are changing, the weather is moving and the smoke is filling up different rooms. And that's when I saw you. Purple and blue the room was attacked with love. And even though your words are still new. Hey little different you taught me so much!

Wash Away 01:44
Lazy? Or am I maybe losing track of time? I've always had this fear of losing my mind. And I hope I don't grow old and alone. This constant wonder of where to call my home. So I just... So I just sit here wondering what's best for me. This rock it's spinning, it's spinning and oh so dizzying. So we just attach ourselves to the things that we just are, but these buildings aren't the only thing falling apart, so we just... So we just wash everything away with these songs that we play!...

We have no one to save ourselves from this thing called life so we just try to find a way to save ourselves for tonight Pick up guitars and pick up our hearts Pick up our voices and scream so loud that our neighbors can hear I'm sorry but this is just how I release all the bad things inside of me I have no one to save myself from this empty heart in my chest And even though it gets me down, I'll still try to hide it. Like all the rest. So let's! And I just wanna say that everything will be ok Everything will be ok! Everything will be ok! Everything will be ok! If we just!
