Stop and Go 03:33
I wanna live in a box with rusty hinges and broken locks dirty dishes and scattered socks I should probably put away I want no windows in my room that way the flowers will never bloom I'll sweep the trash up with a broom into a corner cause it's always stop and go I'm walking fast but I'm moving slow there are places I want to go where you won't find me I'll escape from the outside cause all I want to do is hide just push pause and then rewind back to the beginning I don't wanna see the sky answer questions or wonder why yeah sometimes I get real shy and stop talking I just want to be alone where no one calls me on the phone I'll throw some rocks and skip a stone to keep busy cause it's always stop and go I'm walking fast and moving slow there are places I want to go where you won't find me I'll escape from the outside cause all I want to do is hide just push pause and then rewind back to the beginning

Sandy Knees 03:25
in a broken ship on the sea would you like to spend a little time and float around with me I don't know much about the cost I can't keep track of all the little things I've lost and I can't take you very far but we can lay around and stare up at the stars I lost my sail in the wind it tore right out of my hands I won't be touching it again now we can drift around all day with no one around to hear the secret things we say my compass fell overboard now you're my map that leads my lonely heart to shore sandy knees swaying trees you and me that is all I'm wishing for an island vast and full of green we could swim a thousand miles and escape this dream but we might drown if it gets too deep our bodies like treasures at the bottom for the ocean to keep I like it here right next to you on our sinking boat surrounded by nothing but blue sandy knees swaying trees you and me that is all I'm wishing for

Old Things 02:53
I'm banging my hands on the wall again cause I'm still dreaming about a new obsession my head's full of promises I won't be keeping but I can't stop loving old thing I can't stop loving old things I'm raising my hands in the air again cause I've been messing around with new possessions my head's full of faithlessness wish you could set me free but I can't stop loving old things I can't stop loving old things

One Day 03:37
one day you'll want to go home one day you'll want to be alone choose a way and you'll get there feel the wind blow in your hair watch the flowers on the hill blooming in the sun one day you'll want to walk around one day you won't want to be found choose a way and you'll get there feel the wind blow in your hair watch the flowers on the hill blooming in the sun one day you'll want to say goodbye one day you'll want to cry choose a way and you'll get there feel the wind blow in your hair watch the flowers on the hill blooming in the sun choose a way and you'll get there feel the wind blow in your hair watch the flowers on the hill blooming in the sun

I'm driving with no shoes on the crows are telling you their stories to me it only sounds like vowels we like to stay at nice hotel rooms and run away with all the towels I'm driving with no shoes on you drink two bottles at a time I smoke too much when you're away there's fighting in our conversations let's save it for another day I'm driving with no shoes on I'm never clean I need you to fix me you're always lost when I'm not there I'm burning out on expectations but lately I don't really care I'm driving with no shoes on
6.
all my favorite things are at your place my nicest shirt my cleanest tie your face I used to watch you walking around I crave your touch I want your words I miss your sound I found your things laying on the floor I read your letter on the door guess I don't need much anymore cause baby your love is all I need your eyes were always bigger than mine you could see a flame that was burning out and you could make it shine everything I have I would give to you my luck my charm and my sweetest afternoon I found your things laying on the floor I read your letter on the door guess I don't need much anymore cause baby your love is all I need
7.
stumbling along trying to keep this feeling strong in my fantasy mind I'm lost in my thoughts all the time I can't do this on my own I need you to walk me home hold my hand so I don't fall and push me up against the wall lost in a bar pushing it all a bit too far it's all a game and every day just feels the same I can't do this on my own I need you to walk me home hold my hand so I don't fall and push me up against the wall
8.
if you were leaving I don't know what I'd do I might stop breathing until my lips turn blue I'd start running until there's a hole in my shoe cause I can't imagine living without you If you were leaving I wouldn't believe it's true you're telling me a lie maybe you have the flu I would make you a home-cooked pot of chicken stew cause I can't imagine living without you If you were leaving I wouldn't find someone new I'd lock myself in a room without a view and I'd watch detective movies and search for every clue cause I can't imagine living without you
9.
you turn your head from side to side too many questions on your mind which way to go and what's the time your friend is waiting for you in line my feet are dragging on the ground my hands are stuck in the lost and found my head is sometimes in the clouds but I'll bring it back when you're around stay with me forever and a day we can live like kings and queens far away in a great big castle on a hill with lots of little flowers on the window sill you share everything with everyone and won't end a fight until it's done comb your hair and fix your eyes on the floor hang little decorations on my door I can tell you lots of things in a while but I know just what to say to make you smile follow me into the streets and in the sea where you are is where I want to be stay with me forever and a day we can live like kings and queens far away in a great big castle on a hill with lots of little flowers on the window sill
