Neon Light 02:10
This town has so many bars and we ride past them on our bikes. We are soaked in neon light, we cut through it like a knife and it leaves me blind. How'd I get so worn down? Like pennies crushed out on the tracks showing our reflections back. Where the year once was engraved we left a shining empty space. Oh, we were so bold. How did we get so bold?
2.
You were born in a hospital gown, Concealed what hid inside. Sterilized your wounded heart, They said you'd be alright. They said you'd be alright. I was born with a surgical tool, and I came out alive. Am I some kind of miracle Or do I just survive? Or have I just survived? What have I survived? Happy birthday to you, and all our silly pride. Happy birthday to me, I hope it shows -- I've tried. I hope it shows -- I've tried. I hope it shows -- I've tried, I've tried.
3.
Sights on the roadside, I know, you know. Clouds on a grey sky, One more, I'll fold. Oh you are a straight line that I can bow. I'm holding my insides. I count my pulse and it goes, "Oh oh oh..." A glass for your tonic, my hand to hold. The apartment was haunted, I know you won't. The box in your closet, the window's broke. The light fell right on it, you held the note, like "Oh oh oh..."
4.
Waves 03:06
You had sand in your hair. You said the water's warped the floorboards. There was blood on your face. You said you were okay. There were lines on the shore. We saw waves through heavy metal car doors. I heard you call from the dark. You said you were okay.
5.
Rust 01:28
South of here gravel stones pave my old best friend's winding driveway. We found some old batteries, took your dad's flashlight, took off towards the pine trees. Your legs ache with the rain, you ran for miles to prove something to no one. I took our bikes to the yard, you told me they'd rust for a hundred years.
6.
Sounds 01:19
I hate the sound of the telephone I hate the train that passes my window I hate the sound I make when I'm alone But when you're near my heart goes "Oh, oh, oh..." I hate the sound of all the other bands Except the ones my friends are in I hate the loud bars and house parties But when you're with me my heart goes "Oh, oh, oh..."

Happy People 02:15
I'd be so delighted to grow old waiting for you to come home. What a pleasure it would be, if you'd let me, I'd take your heart and I'd keep it buried. I won't mind the wait at all. My body will freeze over for you to thaw. I would take such pride in my solitary life, your name the only prayer I'd abide. I'd sooner die alone than let the coffee grow cold before I see you coming home to me. I won't mind the wait at all. My body will freeze over for you to thaw.
8.
Summer Sun 02:58
Alone in the summer sun, we were told these days would come. The lines on the palm of hands divine your life will be long. And I hope that such an oracle may be true. Because your voice is just a wolf, your heart the moon. We burned even in the shade. We bared our teeth, we were not afraid. Beneath the surface of the sand our souls are close at hand. And I hope the stars align for you. And I saw one summer night how they do.
9.
Here I Go 02:39
I saw a light through the neighbor's crooked pine And I thought of you despite my better mind This heart has always walked a crooked line. We found a dead hair on my head last night And I've never felt less like myself Here I go, dying just like everybody else. But what do I know? What do I know about love? We make the same mistakes they've always written of What have we learned from all these books we can't get rid of? What if all the walls fall as I passed you by? Could I raise them up one at a time? Could I hold you for a second try?
10.
Such A Bore 03:07
What do I want? (What do you want?) Can't make up my mind. (Make up your mind) I'm in a rut (You're in a rut) It's deepening more and more with time. Even the wind might do me in. I think I'll stay indoors though you must think I'm such a bore. Well maybe if it rains I'll be okay, But I can't face the sun knowing what I've already done. I just can't let my heart out any more. Am I a fool? (You are a fool) Should I have stayed to the rules? (You should have stayed to the rules) What do I want? (What do you want?) If it's not you (Oh, is it you?) Even the wind might do me in. I think I'll stay indoors though you must think I'm such a bore. Well maybe if it rains I'll be okay, But I can't face the sun knowing what I've already done. I just can't let my heart out any more.
