small town lover
02:20
|
|||
|
Know when it’s over
I’ve grown weary from the city
Isolated and abandoned
I’m turning in the key
Turn down the lights
Stay in for a quiet night
Once I find my small town lover
Once I find my small town lover

we lied together
02:28
|
|||
|
You keep getting reasons
For being distant
Why can’t we admit
This just isn’t working
She could be an angel
Mostly she’s a hassle
My love and I could strangle
One another
We lied together
So perfect for each other
Fading memories
Reshape history
Hard to distinguish truth
From tricks of the mind
Maybe in time we’ll put both aside
And see eye to eye
We lied together
Said we’re perfect for each other

all those old movies
03:15
|

|
If we could only rewind to younger eyes
When everything felt untouched,
We were so impressionable
Time goes on, the exciting grows stale
All those old movies used to be new, you know
If we could only be reminded of the good signs
We would see the stars aligning
And why there’s no need for crying
All those old movies used to be new
Trying desperately to find the best way
To address the elephant in the room
Once was so impressed
Has become depressed
We used to laugh
We used to dance
We used to romance

matchmaker (strung out)
02:46
|
|||
|
Matchmaker, set me up
Matchmaker, let me down
Matchmaker, I’m giving up on the runaround
Matchmaker, feeling low
Matchmaker, I feel so alone
Matchmaker, next time warn me she’s a heartbreaker
You’ve been pulling my string so thin,
I’m strung out

it's menthol
01:59
|

|
I was maybe 16,
she passed a drag from her last cigarette
It tasted my Christmas to me
I asked her what kind of cancer is this?
She replied, “it’s menthol”
Returning to my old ways,
Nights all blending into days
Instinct has taken over now
Won’t slow down or go away
Won’t slow down or go away

I do hope that you can understand where I come from
I’m still learning not to reach for your hand now that you’re gone
Once again I’m falling too hard too fast
It’s a bitter pill to know that this won’t last
I do hope that you can understand where I come from
I’m still learning not to reach for your hand now that you’re gone
