Sorry Darling

I'm sorry, darling
I've got an axe to grind
I've got a sense to find my way out of this mind
You got words for sure
But is that all you know how to do?
Build a paper house for two just to burn it down
You cast a spell to hold me well
Don't tell me what to say, I've got my own way
I'm sorry, lover
I've forgotten how to love
I view it from ten thousand feet above
And if it's going through the motions
Then I'm awash in these oceans
I only kick to keep my head above the waves
You cast a spell to hold me well
Don't tell me what to do before we're through
I'm sorry, partner
This is the end of the road
This is the casting of the stone that shatters us
I know you're not perfect
But that's never what I asked for
Just a kindness to carry us through the worst parts

Wish You Hadn't

I wore your heart around my neck
In brass and silver and the stain it left
And when you left I was a wreck
Falling to the ground with all the thanks I get
And every once in a while
We'll sit and sip and smile
Oh, every once in a while
You'll say you'll call or I say I will
It happens once or twice a year
In the summer or November you reappear
And suddenly it's so unclear
Like shaking up the glitter in a souvenir
Oh, and every once in a while
I'll wonder where the time goes
Every moment compiled of all the things that we chose
And every once in a while
I'll lose myself to this
And every once in a while
We'll sit and talk for hours
And every once in a while
I'll remember what was ours
And every once in a while
I'm so glad you could make it
Tonight I just can't fake it
And I wish you hadn't come
I wish you hadn't come
I wish you hadn't come
I wish you hadn't come
And I wish you hadn't come
I wish you hadn't come
I wish you hadn't come
I wish you hadn't come
I wish you hadn't come
I wish you hadn't come
Another decade is done
And I wish you hadn't come

In Theory
02:49

Don't you wait, it's just a mistake
Lying in dread of the bed you make
I try to say what I see in you
I hide in the corners of deserted rooms
I think too late and I speak too soon
I try to say what I see in you
But there's a window near
And I hold it dear
And it beckons the jump to scare
'Cause there's a wall springing up with us now
I can feel it without a doubt
You make it hurt
They'll make it good
In theory
I know this darkness oh so well
This vigil by the wishing well
I try to see a way to see this through
Is this a chance to change this path?
Or free myself from what we have?
Yeah, I try to see a way to see this through
But can this be more than fantasy?
Or do I risk the leap?
'Cause there's a wall springing up with us now
I can feel it without a doubt
You make it hurt
They'll make it good
In theory
Heart of my heart
Don't tell me
There's a light in this room
Where you'll find me
And this feeling will burst and fill you, too
'Cause there's a wall springing up with us now
I can feel it without a doubt
You make it hurt
They'll make it good
In theory
In theory
In theory
In theory

Language of Touch
04:26

You're pulling me close
I can feel your heart beat faster than the speed of sound
So all I can do is read the words on your lips that teach me to understand
This language of touch
This language of touch
It's a lonely night
The brush of the rain paints shadows in black and white
I'm tracing the steps
Back to the place that I know that I feel all right
This language of touch
You're weaving a spell and it's moving me so much
A rush of leaves from a whisper to scream
Spins me around in the depths of this dream
I'm gasping for this energy
So I breathe you in like the air that I need
Without you
There's a light in this dark
It's the feeling of this every time that you leave a mark
Like I'm an open book
Left my corners with folds just to remind me of
This language of touch
You're weaving a spell and it's moving me so much
A rush of leaves from a whisper to scream
Spins me around in the depths of this dream
I'm gasping for this energy
So I breathe you in like the air that I need
Without you
You're pulling me close
I can feel your heartbeat faster than the speed of sound
So all I can do is wait
For this moment to come and swallow me back to
This language of touch
This language of touch
This language of touch
You're weaving a spell and it's moving me too much
A rush of leaves from a whisper to scream
Spins me around in the depths of this dream
I'm gasping for this energy
So I breathe you in like the air that I need
Without you
A rush of leaves from a whisper to scream
Spins me around in the depths of this dream
I'm gasping for this energy
So I breathe you in like the air that I need
Without you

Waking Up
04:58

Driving home from their show
There is nothing like the joy of the people who know you
The ones who hold you when you feel you don't deserve it
When the thought of your life leads to "oh, why preserve it?"
And the fog is thick and all the streetlights are off
But you're driving like tonight is enough
So you said a dumb thing and I snapped
It's just that sometimes relating, it makes me feel trapped
But they know a place and it's gonna be ok
Sometimes dreams come true, they say
And the windshield is hazing over 'cause we're all breathing the same air
And the times are changing now 'cause we're close enough not to care
And the life that I want doesn't sit on a cloud
And the part that feels sorry just can't speak the loudest anymore
Something is coming in the space I'm taking up
I'm waking up
And the road is still not clearing
And all of the windows are covered now
All the steam from all our breathing
I guess that we're all lovers now
And we're trading bridges for tunnels with so much hanging left unsaid
Lost at sea, we desperate couples we work so hard to push through the dread
And the life that I want doesn't sit on a cloud
And the part that feels sorry just can't speak the loudest anymore
Something is coming in the space I'm taking up
I'm waking up
Up
Up
Up
Waking up 'cause I owe it to them all
Waking up 'cause there's nowhere further to fall
If I'm here and I'm planning on staying alive
And I swear she looked me in the eye
And the life that I want doesn't sit on a cloud
And the part that feels sorry just can't speak the loudest anymore
Something is coming in the space I'm taking up
I'm waking up
Up
Up
Up
Waking up 'cause I owe it to them all
Waking up 'cause there's nowhere further to fall
If I'm here and I'm planning on staying alive
And I swear she looked me in the eye

No Angle

Wednesday morning in a bad way
I'm sitting alone without much to say
And I'm trying, I'm trying
To be cool with it
I spend a lot of thought on this economy of hooks
Peeling back the layers of my favorite books
And I'm trying, I'm trying
To say something
So I'll stumble 'til I walk
And I'll mumble 'til I talk
'Til I say the words that I've been meaning to share with you
There's no angle
There's no angle
I just want to talk to you
There's no angle
Just a pane of glass to break through
Saturday evening and I shiver in my shoes
It isn't the cold, just the distance from you
And I'm trying, I'm trying
To keep warm
I pace around the house, I'm moody and sore
I beckon you close and then I shut the door
And I'm trying, I'm trying
But these habits are firm
So I'll stumble 'til I walk
And I'll mumble 'til I talk
'Til I say the words that I've been meaning to share with you
There's no angle
There's no angle
I just want to talk to you
There's no angle
Just a pane of glass to break through
There's no angle
There's no angle
I just want to talk to you
Yeah, there's no angle
Just a pane of glass to break through
Don't you tell me that I'm not ready
I'm just waiting for the thought
And there's a good reason for this change in season
As soon as I find the words, you'll know
There's no angle
There's no angle
I just want to talk to you
There's no angle
Just a pane of glass to break through
There's no angle
There's no angle
I just want to talk to you
Yeah, there's no angle
Just a pane of glass to break through
Just a part of my life that I don't have to cling to
