Track Name: Thank You
Damn
Outta money
The entire country sharing the same dialog
Home
I don't miss you
But I can't resist you
Indiana here's a 'thank you' card

I see the angels comin
I hope they can see me
We're hanging out of windows holding each others feet
Maybe if I leave here I'll learn to live alone
Unlock the doors
Let the burglars take my home

And I have felt defeat
Made the mistakes
But ask for nobody to carry me
Here we're on our own
So take a picture
Cause I won't be here for you to stare at me

Please remind me
Why you came to find me
Of all times, I was nearly six drinks deep
And some of these girls just can't get off
It all smells like roses
Till someone shits, and hey, we're all human again

I'm making you a promise
I'll make a dollar bill
But never for the riches, I've never been one to kill
Maybe if I leave here I'll learn to live alone
Take the keys, let the burglars take my home

Get me out of here, we're throwing tantrums again
Get me out of here, I lost all my friends
Get me out of here, I want no bitter end
Get me out of here, no time to pretend

I see the angels comin
They can't see me
Track Name: Bound to Collide
Like some phoenix from a flame
She was born into my eyes
And though I didn't know her name
She was peaceful, kissed me in a dream I had
Never thought she'd take some man closer to God

One of these nights
Open up the bottle, make you come to life
No need to be frightened
Your bed or mine, I think we decided
You and me were bound to collide

Like some virgin gone estranged
There was shaking in the briar
And movement on the range
There was red wine underneath her fingertips
Circling the lips of the glass
Only took, never asked
And I'm rolling over in my manger now
Never thought she'd take some man closer to God
Track Name: Strangers and Criminals
I heard the criminals broke into your apartment
Wrote everything they wanted on the wall
They took your smile, and they took your invitation
And they took you for granted
Oh no

Chicago has become a ripped up city
Strange, these memories I see
I only remember her making things pretty

I hear strangers spelling out your name in the dark
She's that stranger
Screaming "I don't even know who you are..."

I've made new old friends
We stay up till the sun comes only to pretend it never did
Stolen on the roof with the music, and the booze, and the mids
I could never miss you without saying that I miss you
Strange, the real separation here begins
The cuticle's cut, I'm bleeding
Come look at what I did

There is broken glass on every single sidewalk
Every single evening when I sleep
I dream its from the bottles left by the drunken men
Who got themselves in way too deep
And all the smallest shards get stuck inside my soles
So I shatter things with every step I take
I guess it would take you to be the one to say
I was awake
Track Name: MmmHmm
Talking first
Hold my hand, then
Then we walk and we run
How ya been?
I havent seen you since the last time I wrote...
Anything

Kiss my lips and touch my face
Feel the passion in my embrace
You're still so soft, don't turn me off

After all this, have we learned our lesson?
Living best intentions we are
For all I know, you make me go "mmmhmm"

So much time, take my clothes off
Dancing in the rain
Make me feel so much better
You're all I know
You make me go "mmmhmm"

If I catch one more glance of you
Walking on your own with your heart in two
I swear, we must be freezing over hell
For the first time in a long time we're doing well

Take my heart in your hands, love
You know I understand love
Track Name: Haunted Song
Better bring an umbrella, cause its rainin'
You got your hair whipped round like a blast from the current came
Got the tickets in my pocket
On your neck you got a locket
Given to your mother from your pa when she was ten years old

And I knew her to be frightful
I knew it when I saw
Her eyes open up as I lost control of the car
Now and then, I see her

Hey isn't that Kate?
Walkin past my door
Its strange, I swear, I thought I heard steps ion the floor
Hey isn't that Kate?
In the garden outside
With a parasol held, tryin to keep the sun out of her eyes

I'm of sober mind
I'm of mind to speak
But Katie came and went while I laid in bed for three weeks
Everybody starts to thank Jesus
My eyes open burning in the day
Turns out they chiseled in stone what her mother called her, 'stead of my name
And I still feel it

Hey isn't that Kate?
Puttin perfume on
I smelled it upstairs, it lingered for awhile now it's gone
Hey isn't that Kate?
Puttin pins in her hair
All of her things have been moving around as if somebody were there

Hey isn't that Kate?
Anymore I can't tell
I see my breath while my skin begins to turn pale
Hey isn't that Kate?
I thought I heard a voice speak
Cold as a kiss in the night
Alone while I sleep
