I wish I were an altruist like you.
I wish a song could change the world
I love you
Starstruck lovers on the lam
He thought of us
Red ink from quill dripped down his hand
Imagines us, imagined us
I'll never resent the thrill of our decent
And I'll always thank the ground
We'll have a place to settle down
I wish that I could quell the storm with just a word
The softest whisper lips can form to make you burn
His writing hand got heavy so he sleeps in peace
Beat us to our settling place
And kept the keys, and kept the keys
I'll never resent the thrill of our decent
And I'll always thank the ground
We'll have a place to settle down
I wish I were an altruist like you.
I wish a song could change the world
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

Dead Love

Last night I watched them take her away
Loaded the car and headed East
She was so pretty there
Soft rosie cheeks and amber hair
I was your smile
Last night I saw them put on the cloth
Just like she'd been a sleep
She looked to peaceful there
Had she lost her taste for air
You made me sad
Up to the heavens goes the soul
Or down below the fires roll
Some choose to fall and call it home
She wanted wings and so did I
But with heavy hearts it's hard to fly
We kept our feet and chose to die.
Then she played savior for a while
Undying love just aint her style.
Beneath the old and rugged tree
From pride and hatred you're released
Some hate the shade and don't go free
The wicked wind is at your side
I was a child when I lost mine
A warm embrace will turn you blind
Then I played savior for a while
Undying love just aint my style

Do you lie sometimes, do you steal?
To me you look as pure as this love I seldom feel
Well the walls came down and water red with with blood
And salvation brought you to me through the flood
If you must know I loved her so
But a love that's lost is like a statue in the rain
And like two statues old and gray the glory fades away
Will you stay, will you stay?
The pain has nearly almost gone away.
Will you stay, will you stay?
Do you know sin, have you no shame?
Suppose we're young but I'm tired of the games
Well the walls came down and water red with with blood
And salvation brought you to me through the flood
If you must know I loved her so
But a love that's lost is like a statue in the rain
And like two statues old and gray the glory fades away
Will you stay, will you stay?
The pain has nearly almost gone away.
Will you stay, will you stay?
My burden is heavy, yours is light
My burden is heavy this feels right
Will you stay, will you stay?
The pain has nearly almost gone away.
Will you stay, will you stay?

Milwaukee

The water's cool and murky
Lying on the bed of green lake.
I felt like diving into a crippling body of mistakes
My back did break and I thought about ways to die
That lake was green, eventually it changed the sky.
Your plane she flies, he's at your side
To shield you eyes from our green skies.
I hope Milwaukee loves him
Without a mention of me
Fifteen steps across the pier
One more into the sea.
Your heals hang off the edge
But then you see your mother cry
See for yourself she says
Before you jump look at the sky
Your plane she flies, he's at your side
To shield you eyes from our green skies.
And what is true? He says it's blue
And who's to say, it may as well be gray.

This is Living

She pulled it from her side
A dagger red and cried
A vessel full of sin
From age to ear she grinned
This is living
Aren’t you glad to be alive
Glad to be alive
She held it to her chest
His crimson hand professed
Thank God for blood to shed
With final breath he said
This is living
Aren’t you glad to be alive
Glad to be alive

Nothing for No One

Just like we never met
And you were fine with that
Free of history
Of romance and of lovers' dreams
Then you politely smile
But me, I've traveled miles.
I don't return your grin
You don't invite me in.
So I cut it all to feel secure
We never have to say we let it run its course
I cut it all and want you more
Instead of pining fill my head with such remorse
That's why I can't feel nothin' for no one... anymore.
So I return to Spain and wonder why I came
Guess I left you first, I don't know but this feels worse
Now it's you and him, that's my greatest sin
Believe I cast you there, now you don't even seem to care.
Yesterday I almost had my wedding made
But almost is such a lonely place
And yesterday I almost cried and watched you leave
But nearly tears just aren't enough to show I need you

Same Song
03:31

Learn to feed, then learn to love
Figure out a way to hurt
Love the way it feels, love the way it feels
Since we rose up from the dirt.
Born to lose and love again
Get it through your human head
What I watch I'm sure you've seen, we both fit in these worn out jeans
Same song, different melody
Same song, different melody
You can try to escape, you can try to break free
But the best you'll do is to find a new melody
Learn to despair, then learn to pray
Figure out a way to see
Love the way it feels, love the way it feels
Since we touched that gosh darn tree
Born to lose and love again
Get it through your human head
What I watch I'm sure you've seen, we both fit in these worn out jeans
Same song, different melody
Same song, different melody
You can try to escape, you can try to break free
But the best you'll do is to find a new melody
