Evergreen
03:38

I came by 8:15 to meet my evergreen
Evergreen, my evergreen
With eyes as bright as light
And a charming sense
And I knew you could be
My evergreen, evergreen
My evergreen
Embrace me with your branches all the time
And whistle with the breeze day and night
And watch the other trees shake their leaves
Oh but you will stay with me
My evergreen
Summer skies roll by
Even winter nights can't wither out the leaves
Of my evergreen
She glistens in the rain
With that outer bark
That can never, ever fail
My evergreen
Evergreen, my evergreen
Embrace me with your branches all the time
And whistle with the breeze day and night
And watch the other trees shake their leaves
Oh but you will stay with me
My evergreen

Jesus Vs Mary Jane
03:42
|

I'm struggling to reconcile
With Jesus under Maryjane
I suppose the influence
Makes me lazy to repent
For things I cannot change
But here we are again
Chasing imaginary circles
Round and around and around
I cannot restore this old bridge
That I had to burn
But I promise…
I was caught off guard
When I saw you come out the other day
Was it as bad as I did?
Did you anticipate it, too?
Well, you know there's still consequence
To face for things we cannot change
They'll say, “I love you but your sin
Are you sure, is this really you?”
My darling
We cannot restore this old bridge
That we had to burn
But I promise it'll be alright
It'll be alright
We cannot restore this old bridge
That we had to burn
But I promise it'll be alright
We will be alright

New Drugs
03:30
|

I need a new drug that kills all emotion
So I can't feel this or anything
Yeah, it's such a bitch
‘Cause I'm constantly moving
Find a place to hide and be worry free
Trapped in the subconscious
Inches from your ghost
I'm running from your shadow
Are you worried now about my conclusions?
Did I make a mess, or did you cause all this?
Yeah, you're such a bitch
You constantly haunt me
I need a place to hide from you and all your sins
Trapped in the subconscious
Inches from your ghost
I'm running from your shadow
Five years I find myself fighting the need
To make myself feel numb
I am an addict in denial
But man, I've had enough

Afloat
03:45
|
|||
Well it's hard to stay afloat
Especially at night
When I'm all alone at my home
With my thoughts and another glass of wine
I've been contemplating
Ending it all tonight
But the thought of breaking your heart
Is enough to make me think twice
When the tapes become demagnetized
And the leaves begin to fall
Darling know that I'll still be around
In your heart and in your mind
So I apologize if I disappear
I know I'm selfish and I'm tired
Of coping with the things unknown
And the ones I keep chasing off the road
When the tapes become demagnetized
And the leaves begin to fall
Darling know that I'll still be around
In your heart and in your mind
So when I'm finally in my darkest hour
And I'm giving up the fight
Just the thought of breaking your heart
Is enough to make me think twice

Sunday Morning

Sunday Morning
I woke up with a cold sweat on my forehead
I just dreamt that I was told to go
Live on my own
And I feel confused
And I feel so lost
And I feel alone and dry
So I poured myself a glass of rye
Red cups were empty
Then I asked my friends to go for a drive
But they wont let me
I felt confused
And I felt so lost
And I still feel alone and dry
Monday morning
I woke up at home without memory
But someone had written on my door
To remind me
You are not confused
And you can't be lost
And you will never be alone and dry

Over Time
03:24
|
|||
It's difficult to see it first
When everything is such a blur
Then you realize the end is creeping to a near
They say it's better where you'll be
Rest in the clouds where you can roam free
No more tears and pain
And no more uncertainty
Overtime
The constant fear we learn to dread
When living things come to an end
But we shouldn't be
Because our fates are guaranteed
Instead we should be living in
The present time where we can be with
Who we love and make our lives worth living in
Overtime

X-Oh
03:25
|
|||
Trying not to spiral down
Anxiety's a heavy crown
Come on, love, come rescue me
Over pillows
Beneath the sheets
And we'll sing “Oh…”
Fiber optics and a screen
Such a distance in between
Can I fold a paper map
So you and I can keep holding hands
And sing “Oh…”
Can't wait to get you on the phone
Even better, you and I home alone
Leaving the world outside the door
Come and really make my heart overflow
Really make my heart overflow
Overflow, overflow

Wherever You Are
05:29
|
|||
I've done it before because I've been lonely
Different people with the same heartbeat
Handshakes to hugs, kiss on the lips
She unlocks the door
Then we rolled on the floor
It's no mystery
I'm singing old gospels in the dead of night
I may not believe them but they sure have been kind
Unlike time and love, who's shown me no mercy
Wherever you are, I'm waiting for you
With my saddest guitar
I was impatient, I was unkind
Made stupid decisions, backslide all the time
And if you come, I hope you don't mind me
I may be a mess
But I'll do my best
And give you my love
I'm singing old gospels in the dead of night
I may not believe them but they sure have been kind
Unlike time and love, who's shown me no mercy
Wherever you are, I'm waiting for you
With my saddest guitar
