Swimmer 04:31
-- Lyrics -- I have dreams about your old house And the trees lining the way Leaves move like underwater But I can’t recall the street name But you there, sprawled out on the sidewalk With my hands tangled in your seaweed-hair Wind blowing currents all around us When you forgot how to swim I wrote you a tribute I wrote you one hundred songs Just like this one That you’ll never hear Cause this is just a conversation with myself Still every night I dream I’m swimming through the air Every night I dream I’m tugging at your hair Every night I dream this never happened at all Every night I dream I’m swimming through the air Every night I dream I’m tugging at your hair Every night I dream this never happened at all

Island 04:10
-- Lyrics -- Just the luck of the draw, I guess I’m no better than all the rest But you told me I was special Shouldn’t have said I was special at all So I’ve given it thought I should just go away to an island I’ll disappear You’ll never have to think of me again Oh please tell me I’m wrong, tell me I’m fine Say it’s all good, I’ll be alright Tell me you want me to stay forever Just the way things are meant to be, I guess Got no sway on my destiny, I guess you could say But I can’t make sense of every time you pick me up and you put me down Every time you take me back and then you throw me out I can’t make sense, I can’t make sense of it So I’ve given it thought I should just go away to an island I’ll disappear You’ll never have to think of me again Oh please tell me I’m wrong, tell me I’m fine Say it’s all good, I’ll be alright Tell me you want me to stay forever Oh please say you forgive me Can we just go back to the way it was? Can we just go back, can we just go back to the way it was? Cause I’ve given it thought I should just go away to an island I’ll disappear You’ll never have to think of me again I know I’m right, know I’ll be fine and it’s all good I just need to get away from everyone I’ve ever met So I’ve given it thought I should just go away to an island I’ll disappear You’ll never have to think of me again I know I’m right, know I’ll be fine and it’s all good I just need to get away from everyone I’ve ever met But tell me you want me to stay and I’ll forget all of this

Three 05:42
-- Lyrics -- If you treat me like a prize Come take what’s yours Follow my lead Come get what’s yours There’s nothing wrong with asking for what you want There’s nothing I can’t take This is no game, but if it were You always win the race I see you eyes wide open I can’t think straight I see you hands out open Asking to receive I see you eyes wide open I can’t think straight I see you hands out open Asking to receive, asking to receive I’ve been waiting for you to take it down south I’ve been craving, oh sour taste of your mouth But I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game I only drew a straight line, what did I get? A triangle, so tiresome, not asking for it But I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game Why don’t you tell me what it is that you want? I’m tired of begging for it, I’m tired of begging for it I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game I’ve been waiting for you to take it down south I’ve been craving, oh sour taste of your mouth But I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game I only drew a straight line, what did I get? A triangle, so tiresome, not asking for it But I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game I’m tired of playing the guessing game, the guessing game But if you treat me like a prize Come take what’s yours Come take it all Take me, I’m yours There’s nothing wrong with asking for what you want Easy enough to see This is no game, this is no game This is no game for three I see you eyes wide open I can’t think straight I see you hands out open Asking to receive I see you eyes wide open I can’t think straight I see you hands out open Asking to receive Asking to receive

Will You? 03:35
-- Lyrics -- My hands don’t work so well no more My mind ain’t so sharp either My hair in piles on the floor My appetite now meagre Slowly slipping off the edge of this world Will you take care of me when I’m dying? Drown in my salt water when I’m crying? I’ve been trying all night, trying to make it fit The pieces aren’t quite right, not like this Crying all night, I can’t dry my tears River meets the ocean soon The world is a hollow place And I am just an empty shell Might as well loosen my grip If we are all going to hell Slowly slipping off the edge of this world Will you take care of me when I’m dying? Drown in my salt water when I’m crying? Will you take the fall, get on your knees and burn it all? Will you speak the psalm that I’ve been waiting for so long? Will you take care of me when I’m dying? (Are you ever gonna tell me what I wanna hear?) Drown in my salt water when I’m crying? (Are you ever gonna tell me what I wanna hear?) Will you take the fall, get on your knees and burn it all? Will you speak the psalm that I’ve been waiting for so long? Crying all night, trying to make it fit The pieces aren’t quite right, not like this Crying all night, I can’t dry my tears River meets the ocean soon

Aquarium 03:50
-- Lyrics -- You’ve been swimming inside an aquarium Let me reach in and scoop you out, help you out of there You’re just moving in circles You’re just making me dizzy I wanna do everything right for you Let me keep saying all the right things Til you tell me you’re just fooling Will it ever be simple as you and me? I don’t think I’ve ever heard those words together before I can’t stand the sound of you thrashing around Trying to get your head above Let me raise you up I wanna do everything right for you Let me keep saying all the right things

Horse 04:02
-- Lyrics -- Watching you there Playing your guitar, sweating bullets Holding every girl in the room, but I don’t care Cause you’re not good enough for me If you don’t stutter when you speak You can’t hold your breath to ten But you give good face at nine, eight, seven, oh But I’m not buying what you’re selling, no Cause you’re not him and I’m not jealous Aching, wishing it would ache like the last time But it never does, it never feels like it’s right And waiting, clutching at the fence saying L-I-L-Y Can you scratch my itch? I wish It’s time But you don’t know what I don’t show I wish But there’s no more time to take it slow I wish But you’re not him and I don’t know I think you’re letting the fame go to your head I think that’s enough I think you’re letting the fame go to your head I think that’s enough, enough, enough I think you’re letting the fame go to your head I think that’s enough (repeated) You never change, you never grow Into someone I could love And I don’t think you’ll ever know how to I never change and I never grow Still hung up on that same old Same old, same old love I think you’re letting the fame go to your head I think we’re done

Don't 03:59
-- Lyrics -- Don’t leave the cats out too long They get lost in the alley Don’t stay up working all night again We don’t have long Don’t leave me out on the counter I’ll go sour All night and every night You stay up and cry While I say sorry all night All night and every night You stay up and cry While I say sorry all night Now I’ll stay Every night and I’ll never leave I’ll stay every night, never leave I’ll stay every night and I’ll never leave you again Every night and I’ll never leave I’ll stay every night, never leave I’ll stay every night, never leave you again Every night, never leave I’ll stay every night and I’ll never leave I’ll stay every night til they make me leave again Don’t leave the cats out too long They get lost in the alley
8.
-- Lyrics -- You say I’d be so good for you But I’m never good enough Leave your place crying, like I always do I’ve got five years on you I should have my shit together Leave your place crying I’m just a big dumb kid You’re up late night calling me You say you wanna talk Then talk You didn’t have to go so far if you needed space I’ll give you all the goddamn stars if you want some space So I leave your place crying I thought I was better than this, I’m not I guess I am just controlled by my emotions Just like everyone else I’m up late night, holding up hoping you’re gonna call Please call You didn’t have to go so far if you needed space I’ll give you all the goddamn stars if you want some space You didn’t have to go so far if you needed space I’ll give you all the goddamn stars if you want some space

Seeking 05:18
-- Lyrics -- I’m sorry for calling every night Like I was entitled to love Like some kind of bully But not worthy of I thought what I sought was seeking me too Reaching around in the dark All of the while I protest like a child Who doesn’t get what they want I see now what’s going on I’ve been the worst kind of fool Should not have come round every night As if I could force you into love Like some kind of deranged Like you didn’t make it plain Like insane I thought what I sought was seeking me too Reaching around in the dark All of the while I protest like a child Who doesn’t get what they want I see now what’s going on I’ve been the worst kind of fool I see now what’s going on I’ve been the worst kind there is Can’t take it back, I can’t take it back Anymore than you can I wish you well, oh I wish you well Hope you have forgotten Can’t take it back, I can’t take it back Anymore than you can I wish you well, oh I wish you well Hope you will not forgive
