Start of Everything
03:36

I thought I'd come out swinging
At the start of everything
And claim my new beginning
I could hear the angels sing
I thought I heard you whisper
A promise to me
But when everything goes quiet
I'm not sure I believe
You even said anything
I thought I saw a morning
Rising above my head
And an offering would be waiting
That you gave in my stead
I thought I heard you whisper
A promise to me
But when everything goes quiet
I'm not sure I believe
You even said anything
I thought I caught a glimpse of
What you had for me
Waiting on the shoreline
So I leapt into the sea
Though I'm not sure I believe
You even said anything

Hard to Lose
03:04

I don't know why you're waiting up
When everyone's filling their cups
And they drink without you
Keep looking for a reason to
And what happened to all your friends
Every road is a dead end
The job doesn't pay much
Quit actin' like a crutch
Oh, nothing I could say to you
Could take away all the blues
Heaven knows I tried breaking through
Locked in a room like Howard Hughes
Talking through both sides of the door
Habits always begging for more
I think I've seen this one before
Someone crying on a bedroom floor
Oh, nothing I could say to you
Could take away all the blues
Heaven knows I tried breaking through
Locked in a room like Howard Hughes
You say some end is always coming soon
But everything I hate is so hard to lose
Hard to lose

Production Line
04:19
|
|||
|
I was drivin' late last night toward the production line
A small sacrifice to make, puttin' in my time
I know it's not the kind of thing you dream of as a child
But it's enough to get us by at least for a little while
I've always been chasin' down some kind of mystery
Like something got caught in my head that I saw in a dream
I never could find much room for all those kinds of thoughts
So I put 'em all away as I pull into the parking lot
Now, I drive out here every night
Got my family back at home
Still tryin' to find a better plan before the kids are grown
But when the grind is wearin' down I get too tired to pretend
I drive home in the morning
Start it all over again

Always Around
03:39
|
|||
|
Just like the day is over
I'm gone but I'm coming back again
Now that I'm a little older
I don't feel so restless in my skin
But the weight of every moment
Will still come bearing down
When there's no room left to hold it
You always are around
You always are around
When you wake up and start thinking
Of how we got where we are
And how everything was sinking
You'll feel so high above the ground
But the weight of every moment
Will still come bearing down
When there's no room left to hold it
You always are around
You always are around

Break the Spell
03:00
|
|||
|
It looked like you were running
With all the wind at your back
I saw that your prize was coming
Holding the work in your hands
And don't think for a moment
I'd want to see anything else
Just know that it's hard to show it
When you're trying to break the spell
Look out into the open
Endless wonder and mystery
But some devils got my number
And he's keeping it all out of reach
And don't think for a moment
I'd want to be anywhere else
Just know that it's hard to show it
When you're trying to break the spell
I saw you in the distance
A song carried on your breath
And hard as I tried to listen
I could not understand what it meant
And don't think for a moment
I'd want to hear anything else
Just know that it's hard to show it
When you're trying to break the spell

Sympathy
04:09
|
|||
|
It's been at least seven or eight years
Since the last time that we met
And in between I only heard your name
In quiet and concerned conversations
You know so much about just where I've been
And you seem so interested
You have a lead guitar you never learned to play
Now you're looking for a job
I think back to when we were just kids
With so much hiding underneath
I guess it all comes out eventually
Now there's nowhere left to hide
Now there's a fog between you and everything
And I don't know what put it there
I finally give my sympathy
When I don't know what else to to say
I don't know what else to say

Think the Same
03:40
|
|||
|
I'm taking my time as you wait for an idea
I go to sleep hoping I wake up new
Nothing exists except for what I've already done
My promise for when is always coming soon
Sometimes I am concerned that this is all there is
Yeah, you think the same thing (You think the same thing)
You think the same thing (You think the same thing)
I always have just the right thing to say
Enough to keep spirits afloat for awhile
Well, I'm going out now and I'll be back with all the answers
Come back tomorrow, try the same thing again
I don't need another reason if this is all there is
Yeah, you think the same thing (You think the same thing)
You think the same thing (You think the same thing)
I'm looking for landmarks, trying to find a way out
Drifting away, nearly falling asleep at the wheel
Well, I know the right way buried deep in my chest
Can you keep things steady just for a little while
I still have the best reason, baby it's all I need
Yeah, you think the same thing (You think the same thing)
You think the same thing (You think the same thing)
You think the same thing (You think the same thing)
You think the same thing

Forgot About
02:36
|
|||
|
Looked around for a little while
After I hit the ground
Take a moment to breathe it all in
I try to remember how
Then you ask me to stay awhile
Say it's nice to have you back
Well, it feels so good just being here
Guess I forgot about all that
An exception to all my history
Where have the troubles gone
Make my promises, tie up the loose ends
I fear it won't be long
Then you ask me to stay awhile
Say it's nice to have you back
Well, it feels so good just being here
Guess I forgot about all that
