Why is it now everyday feels the same
Probably same reason why the girl behind the counter at the liquor store
Calls us by our middle names
I look into the mirror like I'm looking out to space
Wondering if any life will ever be found
Oh oh oh
Why is it now we spend our days like this
Sprawled out limbs wrapped around empty whiskey bottles on the floor
Probably same reason why there's empty whiskey bottles on the floor
Oh oh oh
Why is it now is it now we sing these tired old songs
Probably same reason neither one of us will ever admit to being wrong
Oh oh oh
Why is it now we are questioning our habits

Talking to Theodore

The heartbeat of the sky was slowing down
Your hazel eyes were resting above a frown
One harsh winter coming around
Hindsight is as clear as the black ice on the ground
You tried to warn me
You tried to warn me
You were wondering out loud why the river hadn't frozen
Pale flat Clouds contemplating death when the wind blows in
Hindsight is clearer than the water that flows in
If I knew then what I know now I would've dipped my toes in
You tried to warn me
You tried to warn me
Seems so obvious now
Why couldn't I see
You tried to warn me
I wasn't having any of it
I'm so sorry

There’s a picture in a picture frame on the bedroom table. Theres a windowsill behind the table. The window’s open and the rain is falling outside and inside through the window. The bedsheets are getting a little damp and the rain keeps falling and the wind keeps blowing and the picture on the table somehow stays dry. And the wind keeps blowing and the rain keeps falling and the wind knocks the picture over. The bedsheets are pretty damp now. And the wind keeps blowing and the rain keeps falling, there is no one inside the room. The wind keeps blowing and the rain keeps falling and the bedsheets are drenched. There is no one inside the room, if there were don’t you think they would have closed the window. don’t you think

We tried we tried we tried to make it count
We lied we lied we lied a fair amount
I cried I cried I cried a lot that night
I died I died I died a bit inside
I feel I feel I feel like I'm gonna heal from this so slowly
We conceal we conceal we conceal our insecurities
We kneel we kneel we kneel and question our maturity
We had a talk about the weather
I keep having dreams about the past
How long was it before
We both knew this wasn't gonna last
Sure we fought we fought we fought over little things
And we bought we bought we bought a lot of cheap whiskey
I ought I ought I ought to know that's not medicine
I caught I caught I caught him coming in
I knew I knew I knew it all along
I spew spew I spew my heartache in these songs
We grew we grew we grew apart
We threw we threw we threw away our healing hearts
We had a talk about the thunder storm
I keep having dreams of ghosts
How long was it before
You realized who this would hurt the most

Small Space

I know it's over but I thought you should know
I brought you a gift last night before you told me to go
I left it in the top drawer of your bedside table
Just yesterday - it was our - bedside table
As I lay sleepless in this tent tonight
I wonder what will happen when that cassette meets your line of sight
Will you put it in you put it in your walkman
Or just toss it in the trash
for now I'm almost certain
It's lying there unseen
Confined in a small space
Like the one where our promises once gleamed
But like chaos everywhere our differences only expanded
And sure we fought for survival like a crew whos crash landed
But I guess it wasn't in the cards
Now I'm sleeping in a strangers backyard
Trying to fall asleep but I just can't
Maybe it's the the thoughts on my mind maybe I'm just cramped
In this small space
Can't even lie down with my legs straight
If you do play the tape
I hope you appreciate what It has to say
But for now that tape is just like me
Silent, in a small dark space, waiting to be free

Lover's Lullaby

Sing to me a lovers lullaby
Tell me what you think about when you look up at the sky
Sing to me a lovers lullaby
Tell me what you think about when you look into my eyes
The windows closing
My hand is nowhere near yours
The windows closing
And you have one hand on the door
Sing to me a lovers lullaby
Tell me what you think about when you look into my eyes
Sing to me a lovers lullaby
Tell me what you were thinking when you told me that lie
And I didn’t mean to snoop but you must’ve forgot to sign out of gmail on my computer
Sing to me a lovers lullaby
Tell me what you were thinking when you told me that lie
Won’t you Sing to me a lovers lullaby
Tell me why oh why we should give this another try
The window is closing
but my hand is nowhere near yours
The window has two tired hands pushing down on it
And you have both feet out the door
