Time Bomb

Way off in the distance
I see how it goes
The storm clouds will gather and the air will grow quite cold
I’ll be touring and drinking
For that’s how I hide
From all of the pain I keep locked up inside
It’s a time bomb don’t you hold onto me
It’s a time bomb don’t you hold onto me
It’s true that I want you
So much that it’s strange
I can’t recall ever quite feeling this way
But I am no good at love
I never have been
I always find a way to turn things dark by the end
And it always ends
It’s a time bomb don’t you hold onto me
It’s a time bomb don’t you hold onto me
It’s a time bomb don’t you hold onto me
It’s a time bomb don’t you hold onto me

It’s been three weeks since I had her in the backseat of my car
It’s been two weeks since I met you trying to put those others far
And I want you and I like you and I need you
But I’ve been in a strange state of mind
I kissed you ever lower when we went back to your house
You rode me like salvation and it emptied me all out
And I want you and I like you and I need you
But I’ve been in a strange state of mind
I walk along the cold hallway between warm bodies
I walk along the cold hallway between warm bodies
I walk along the cold hallway between warm bodies
And think of you
It was 2 days before we met that I met her at the bar
We got as close as we could yet I still felt very far
And I want you and I like you and I need you
But I’ve been in a strange state of mind
You Kissed me ever lower as we went back to your bed
I rode you like salvation and the light filled in my head
And I want you I want all of you want it all for me
But I’ve been in a strange state of mind
I walk along the cold hallway between warm bodies
I walk along the cold hallway between warm bodies
I walk along the cold hallway between warm bodies
And think of you
I walk along the cold hallway between warm bodies
I walk along the cold hallway between warm bodies
I walk along the cold hallway between warm bodies

Holding On
03:19
|

|
I’ve never seen someone love someone
Like the love for that man from that woman
Now she wakes in the morning and he is gone
She ain’t living she’s just holding on
She can hear the next world calling
She thinks about leaving so often
Now she wakes in the morning and he is gone
She ain’t living she’s just holding on
I don’t know what it’s like to love so much
You can see through their eyes and feel their touch
Then wake in the morning and they are gone
She ain’t living she’s just holding on
She dreams it’s a misunderstanding
He’s still with her and she is so happy
Then she wakes in the morning and he is gone
She ain’t living she’s just holding on

By Your Side
03:33

I’m a stranger here and feel so damn alone
You were the best feeling that I could own
I was by your side your were not by mine
I was giving love you were passing time
When I held you I knew that I had it bad
When you felt like the only thing that I had
I was by your side you were not by mine
I was giving love you were passing time
I feel harder then I knew I still could
I loved you more than you thought that I should
I was by your side your were not by mine
I was giving love you were passing time
I was by your side your were not by mine
I was giving love you were passing time
I was by your side your were not by mine
I was giving love you were passing time

Cocaine Angel

Cocaine Angel likes to dance
She knows well that nothing good can ever last
Cocaine angel eyes bright green
You’re the wildest girl that I have ever seen
Cocaine Angel when you die
You’ll have wings and you can fly
To the cocaine in the sky
Cocaine Angel likes to kiss
You can taste cocaine on her red ruby lips
Cocaine angel burns so bright
We are all in awe of your exploding light
Cocaine angel when you die
You’ll have wings and you can fly
To the cocaine in the sky
Cocaine angel when you’re gone
You’ll rise up and you’ll float on
To that cocaine cut by God

Pop Star
03:19
|
|||
|
God damn I fear maybe I have been lying
I would sell out it’s just that no one is buying
Make me down to be a pop star and then
I’ll show everyone how I’m cooler than them
And let them streams roll in
Just tell me what to sing about because the money is getting thin
I would join with you soulless bastards if only you would let me in
Make me down to be a pop star and then
I’ll show everyone how I’m cooler than them
And let them streams roll in

No Road Home
03:11
|

|
I wish I hadn’t left Ohio
Wish that Mormons drank more
Wish I could trade in all this freedom and could buy myself a home
I wish I had myself a dollar I wish I had myself a dime
I wish I never came west on the California Line
There’s no road home
There’s no road home
I wish I still had Jenny’s number
Wish there was someone I could reach
I wish these pretty Utah women didn’t treat me like a freak
I wish I had myself a dollar I wish I had myself a dime
I wish I never came west on the California Line
There’s no road home
There’s no road home
I wish I wasn’t born to ramble
I wish I wasn’t born at all
I wish I had myself a brother or a friend that I could call
I wish I had myself a dollar I wish I had myself a dime
I wish I never came west on the California line
There’s no road home
There’s no road home

No Sorrow
02:26
|

|
When this world is no more
We will meet on the shore
And all the love that we’ve known will be our home
And I won’t be afraid when they carry me away
To the land where no sorrow is known
To the land where no sorrow is known
When this body is done
I will rise and be gone
And only love I’ll taking with me
And I won’t be afraid
When they carry me away
To the land where no sorrow is known
To the land where no sorrow is known

Midnight Bloom

Here’s to you here’s to me
Here’s to liars here’s to cheats
Here’s to life living you
Here’s to our midnight bloom
Here’s to him here’s to her
Here’s to fires that don’t burn
Here’s to love that’s too late
To see the light of the day
I wish I was married to you
Not him
I wish I was married to you
Not him
Here’s to yours here’s to mine
Little lights sacred shine
Here’s to risking it all
Just to see to you once more
I wish I was married to you
Not him
I wish I was married to you
Not him
I wish I was married to you
Not him

When We Were Younger
03:43
|

|
Tell Claire I’m home
No more I’ll roam
“Oh you don’t know
That Claire is gone
Claire is gone”
Take me back when we were younger
All we had then was each other
Why’d I set out with the thunder
Left her alone
And now she’s gone
“Claire she fell ill
She’s on Spring Hill”
I loved her still
I hope she knew
I hope she knew
Take me back when we were younger
All we had then was each other
Why’d I set out with the thunder
Left her alone
And now she’s gone

Beside You
04:36
|

|
You took the red line home that day
The sky was grey and you were looking blue
I wrote down some more things to say for the day I finally talk to you
Then I watched your kitchen window
From my favorite coffee shop
And you did all your dishes
At about 8 o’clock
I’m always there beside you
We took a walk on Saturday and ended up at the Lincoln Park Zoo
Oh but then that man was there girl I swear that he don’t deserve you
And I was by the zebras
You were by the giraffes
And I saw him say something
That really made you laugh
I’m always there beside you
Walking home a lonesome man
Watching you my love around his arm
I was stuck inside my head when I stepped in front of a passing car
I woke up on the asphalt
And there you were
And I told you I loved you
As my vision blurred
I’m always there beside you
