Don’t know what to do
Seems I’m still in love with you
Drunken kisses on the lawn
Sure can make a man feel warm
I gave away my pride
Lost all hope in suicide
Now I’m making love to rope
To burn away this taste I hope
But how would I know what I want?
How would I know what I need?
Been pushing it uphill
Doing battle with my will
Don’t recommend that bitter pill
‘Cause now I know I’m down here still
I gave away my clean
Disposition’s but a dream
Now I’m coming back to you
Don’t ever let me go
Yeah how would I know what I want?
How would I know what I need?
When it’s not clear to me
Don’t know what to do
Seems I’m still in love with you
Drunken kisses on the lawn
Sure do make a man feel warm

I don’t know why
You can’t see what’s killing me tonight
But I know I don’t mind
If you’re pretending that it’s alright
And I know it’s too late
For me to go back in time
And these scars are a broken vase
Where love is only one chip away
And our boy is a miracle
Nothing but sunlight in his smile
But those eyes will grow cloudy now
And we can’t wash those stains away
And you’re finally happy now
Between the laughter and the tears
I’m gonna bet on you baby doll
Gonna call your every single raise
I’m all in.

Toward the Light

Waking up in your house, felt so good to be alive
You dressed me and you combed my hair, you told me not to lie
The reason I’m not broken is, you held me late at night
I hope to do the same for you and move toward the light
Take me back to seasons, where the real love is born
And tell me there’s a reason for the sunshine after storm
The reason I’m still standing is, you thought the whole thing through
This test of time falls into line, the moment I need you
Now we’re so much older but we feel just the same
I never tell you quite enough, I’m scared when it will end
The reason I’m not broken is, you held me late at night
I hope to do the same for you and move toward the light
The reason I’m still standing is, you thought the whole thing through
This test of time falls into line, the moment I need you

Come with me sister, take my arm
We’ll speak the truth, and hold back harm
That little boy he’s got your heart
Bright as the sun, this world don’t know it’s dark
Remember the time we broke from home
Neither of us was left alone
But home in the distance growing dim
If there’s a way out, then there’s a way back in
But underneath the floorboards, I’d never go
Trying to discover, I don’t know?
Whether there’s a window out to a swing
I’ll push you, so if you can’t push, well it doesn’t mean a thing
Come with me brother, lose your way
We’ll burn one down, and light the day
Now I’m not the man I hoped I’d be
But you’re far too smart to tell me what should be
Remember the time we ran like hell
From big kids with broken bottles, well
I’d never seen you turn like that
To face them ‘til my sister got safely back
But underneath the floorboards, I’d never go…

Anastasia

Through the camera there’s a smile
Get back to living in a while
Can’t remember all their names
Doesn’t matter, it’s all the same
Can’t forget that you’re an ordinary girl
A diamond in the world
Ballerina twirl
And though it’d be nice to tell you everything
The secrets and the sins
Anastasia is within
Now there’s an ocean on the line
And I can’t promise you more time
So are we real or make believe?
It’s only myself I deceive
I can’t forget that you’re an ordinary girl
A diamond in the world
Ballerina twirl
And though it’d be nice to tell you everything
The secrets and the sins
Anastasia is within

Pins and Needles

There’s a woman in my back lane, who screams into the empty night
Something about the changing face of everything she knew as right
So be careful what you say to her, she only wants to find
Those fleeting faces from before, that keep slipping from her mind
Then she will be happier… those memories to last forever more
There’s a guy in my front yard, he jumps the fence and hangs around
He mostly whispers to himself of battleships that ran aground
And he still believes in Superman, and it’s just as well he might
That man of steel might not be real, but my friend with second sight
Knows something that I don't know, something that I just don’t know anymore
‘Cause underneath your bravest face, good fortune favours your boldest moments
Pins and needles tear our skin, and change my mind on what’s important
The only true words we just spoke, were…
I don’t what, I don’t what, I don’t what matters… anymore (repeats)

Don’t wake that old dog, let his old body go
Don’t wake that old dog, let his old body go
‘Cause he don't know the way home
He don't know the way home alone x2
Don’t ask, don’t listen, don’t lie
It’s raining outside…
Don’t ask, don’t listen, don’t lie
Won’t bring him back to us
Black dog watchin’ over you, as he’s standing guard
Black dog watchin’ over me, always standing guard
But he don't know the way home
He don't know the way home alone x2
Don’t ask, don’t listen, don’t lie
It’s raining outside…
Don’t ask, don’t listen, don’t lie
It’s falling inside…
Don’t ask, don’t listen, don’t lie
It’s over in time…
Don’t ask, don’t listen, don’t lie
Won’t bring him back to us

What a long slow autumn, next season’s fearful
‘Cause it don’t wanna change, and I don’t wanna change
I’ve been inside your life, I’ve been around your crimes
And you don’t wanna change, and yet know we have to change
So stop! You’re tearing this apart
You owe it to the formless days ahead
Remember what it was that fired you up
‘Cause I don’t see you changing no-one’s mind
Little lies, little lies
What a hazy winter, pace is crazy too
Creatures know you’re there, but they’re afraid of light
You’re well inside my mind, you brilliant friend of mine
But you don’t wanna change, and yet we know we have to change
You’re tearing this apart
You owe it to the formless days ahead
Remember what it was that fired you up
‘Cause I don’t see you changing no-one’s mind
Little lies, little lies
