Rising Water 03:49
Rising Water I know you're trying, we've been doing the best we can Stuck on an Island, laying low for another plan I'm Glad it's not like you, to struggle with despair Oh The rising water, surging towards your head Grab my hand we'll take the plunge But baby hold your breath Can't stand to die here Working from morning til the day is dead We're so alone now What good is money if you've got no friends? I'm glad it's not like you struggle with despair Oh The rising water, surging towards your head Grab my hand we'll take the plunge But baby hold your breath Oh my babe, sweet visions of us on some sunny day Far away from all the heartache and pain Girl we've got to run Oh The Rising water
2.
Summertime 03:57
We're a Blank Slate and the days are long, up all night, Sleep at dawn Yeah there's work tomorrow, but for now we'll dance We may not get a second chance I took you to the lifeguards chair, we must have spent three hours there 'til the sun came up, and burned our skin so we went to find some shade again In the Summer, in the Summertime You'd do your hair for friday night and all the boys would set their sights You'd pick the ones, with the wild eyes They'd grab your hands, and you'd just smile But they didn't know you like I did How you keep your heart so well hid And while your miles away in some northern trap Come July, you'll be coming back. In The Summer, In The Summertime
3.
Give It Up 03:56
I find it horrifying, the way you left your dreams totally dismembered, buried near the trees But how much money keeps quiet your heart and soul I never thought you'd fall but now you do as your told Why do you give it up so easy? Why do you give it up so easy? You could have it any way you wanted The almighty dollar, has got you out on the chase now you're sad as a piano, that nobody plays But how much money keeps quiet your heart and soul I never thought you'd fall but now you do as your told Why do you give it up so easy? Why do you give it up so easy? You could have it any way you wanted Why do you give it up so easy? Why do you give it up so easy? You could have it any way you wanted
4.
Veered from the road, wandered off the path Burned the only bridge that could take us back Roam baby roam, run for the woods Wade down the river, oh ain't life good We'll yell through the hills, Climb till we're dead Paint a pretty life we could hang in our head Embers from a fire, causin clouds of blue Been thinking to myself you're such a beautiful view I'd go wild with you I'd go wild Thunder in our heads, lightening down our spines Hiding from the rain in a diamond mine Howling at the man, smiling in the moon Eating what we find in our Red Rock room I'd go wild with you I'd go wild
5.
I never wanted this of me, for you But it's like you said, what can we do? You showed me such pretty things Then came to paint them black I want my freedom Want my colors back Trying to resist you, when suddenly your naked on the floor begging me to kiss you But I don't want you anymore i don't want you anymore
6.
Riverlust 03:55
Winter is retreating, Summer heat settles in I'm creeping through the tall pines Where no one's ever been I filled up all the pages, with poems of the sun Sweat's dripping towards my fingers The cricket's start to hum I've got a heart full of riverlust I'm searching for the cool, cool water I've got a heart full of riverlust I'm searching for the cool, cool water There's bits of silver dancing, streaming past our feet Wild flowers where we're lying, fall sets fire to the leaves I've got a heart full of riverlust I'm searching for the cool, cool water I've got a heart full of riverlust I'm searching for the cool, cool water I lost my breath, as the water swept over me My blue lips and shivering turned into a calm relief I've got a heart full of riverlust I'm searching for the cool, cool water
7.
Every time, I try to make it right, reaching out to find all the truth inside Let's admit, part of us is wrong, part of us is right, we don't have to force it no Half of what you're thinking, Isn't all of innocence take me to that darkness in your mind Half of what you're saying, i can tell your faking Give me those tall promises that you said The Strangest part of being half alive is you barely feel the crying, oh oh Can't ignore the coiling snakes at dawn poisoning your plans Striking at your hands oh no Half of what you're thinking, Isn't all of innocence take me to that darkness in your mind Half of what you're saying, i can tell your faking Give me those tall promises that you said
8.
I'm Through 03:34
Cake on the makeup catch my eye, as you float on by tall tales and short replies, as you drift into the night When I caught you red handed, well it wasn't no surprise I always saw it in your eyes I'm through living with a lie I woke from sleep I was at peace  Looked out the window, heard the leaves Then I turned to see you'd gone Or maybe never came home You were out late with friends people hiding from the sun well I hope you had your fun I'm through living with a lie I'm through living with a lie There was a time I needed you to help me up and get me through the bad track record on my skin Kicked out my conscience, let you in i'd hurt myself and you'd just laugh come up with stories for my friends I was waiting for the end I'm through living with a lie I'm through living with a lie I'm through living with a lie I'm through living with a lie
9.
It's a nightmare, waking up with no teeth On some sinking ship, bouncing around on the sea With the captain's hat hung by your door Wont be writing no letters no more It's a dream inside a dream inside a dream Who knows which is which, or what it means It's a dream inside a dream inside a dream Who knows which is which, or where it leads You want to fly, but you can't find no wind so you just spread your arms and run till you lift It's all so much fun, until she takes off her face  And you want to run, but you're just jogging in place It's a dream inside a dream inside a dream Who knows which is which, or what it means It's a dream inside a dream inside a dream Who knows which is which, or where it leads
10.
Troubles 03:21
Slam the door shut, baby don't look back You know that life did you no good you were running off the tracks Take a load off, let it lift away Your friends aren't really friends at all You're better off this way Change is gonna come And you know it ain't too soon Creepin with the cover of the moon You're free as you'll ever be When everything is wrong These troubles can't last that long It's time to repaint, and fix them up All those kid things you said you'd do are covered up in dust It ain't over not even close You've lived whole lifetimes in your head except the one that mattered most Change is gonna come And you know it ain't too soon Creepin with the cover of the moon You're free as you'll ever be When everything is wrong These troubles can't last that long
11.
Lines 04:40
Warm beer, cold women, can get your head just spinning Sitting cross legged outside the county fair Chain smoking cigarettes, while some ballerina pirouettes A dragon tattoo running down her leg The ferris wheel just blew a fuse, now they're stuck but what a view it's a red sunset, and the young ones try some tongue I never thought i'd be the one hammered drunk at the house of fun Little kids, stepping all over my head it never was in my plans, to be the kind of man Outside the fortune teller, Cursing the lines in my hands Didn't win no prizes, no not one always got the worst water gun and my date up and left me for the worlds strongest man And all the animals have no rights and the carnies stay up all night Gamblin away, all their minimum wage  The cotton candy starts to stiffen as the lights cease to glisten Some frown faced clown, follows the last family out I never thought i'd be the one hammered drunk at the house of fun Little kids, stepping all over my head it never was in my plans, to be the kind of man Outside the fortune teller, Cursing the lines in my hands
