Year One 04:28
How did we get here anyway? Where were you headed when I said your name? What if I never got it wrong? Where would we be now if I'd just stayed home? Often an accidental chance Never becomes a proper song and dance But now we're rolling up our sleeves Make it a habit, turn doubt to belief Has it been a year? This dream it seems so clear Taking all your time, and giving all of mine Haters can't compete with lovers in the street You make up my mind, please don't fall behind tonight Am I just waiting in the wings? Know I'd never push you to formality Weren't we foxes all along? Caught in a spotlight where we don't belong I never cared about the rules You never cared about the jewels I always want you in my world You always want to be my girl We say we'll take it day by day But is there any other way? Aren't we where we're supposed to be? I'll stay with you, you stay with me, okay... Look at your abalone ring A little material, a shell, a thing Know it was always up to you, baby No one could ever tell you what to do, could they?

Slugs 03:18
Through the smoke, tonight I can see you, star Who set you on fire? Who called you a liar? And who sent you twisting down into this trail of scars? Take my agenda, pretend it got lost on the way No choice is not need, no love is not greed And no place is safe once your soft side has had its say For the moment I'm asking you only for tongue What time is now? What time is it not? What time have we lost drawing our lots from the young? Am I breathing? This air feels unreal to me No voice to believe, no heart to deceive And no slug in this shell your fingers have plucked from the sea In the morning I see a blue sky through the trees How did we survive? How many denied? How the hell can I face a new day without you beside me?

Hellfire 03:22
There might be a limit, and maybe I have hit it But baby I just pray you stay so patiently committed My body has been breaking, my confidence is shaken Blame me, maybe everything fate gave me was mistaken No abuse is earned, it's luck and it will turn Maybe I'm just lazy, or there's nothing new to learn Pity, pity, pretty city lights cannot defeat me Bury all my burden in this bowl that drains beneath me Fire, fire, bloody hellfire found its way inside me Now I can't embrace the angel lying naked right beside me Try to get some rest, we go out less and less Every night I spend at home with you is for the best I've got everything to lose, I'll try anything you choose Baby please don't make me pull the plug on drugs and booze No excuses given for bruised I've kept hidden Baby please don't lose faith on the truth as it is written

Closer 03:12
Something here just doesn't seem right My head is spinning and my chest feels tight Try to understand a look in your eyes I've seen it before, before, before Before I met you I gave up my love And all that it got me was push and a shove Now here in your arms and now at arm's length I don't have the strength, the fight, the pain And I feel closer to death when you push me away The way that you cry makes me want to stay And I'll lie here with you until the break of day I can't sleep, the heartbeats keep me awake... The curve of your lips has taken a turn Another down trend, a lesson to learn Support or resistance? To heal or to burn? I had a bad dream, a dream, just a dream I feel like the streetlight gets into my head Believe in the fiction of words left unsaid I know what is real when we're lying in bed I want you, I need you, I feel you, I feel you

Trust 04:28
Tell me who ran off with the real economy? Everything is happening at the same time And there's so much slush in the simultaneous I'm waiting for my baby on the bottom line Bike to the beach, grinding metal teeth Praying for relief from this blinding dichotomy Back in the neighborhood, drinking in the sink A wet cigarette might bring me back to reality Sun is coming out, now we're leaving town Cause no one else knows how to have fun anyway How many more hours of this running around Before we're undone and down to our final memory? There's only one word left, so you can save your breath Just give me trust, trust, trust, trust...
