Roving Soul

I don’t want to die
I just want to fly
Don’t want to tear you apart
But I’d love to break your heart
I’m not getting any younger here (at all)
So scared to live another year (alone)
I skipped the train on the way to come back home (come home, come home)
Cause I’m ashamed of the way I’ve grown (I’ve grown, I’ve grown)
And there’s a great big light in the city sky
That's burning up so hot and bright
And it’s watching over me
And everything I try to be
How’s that new boyfriend of yours?
Are you on honeymoon or are you bored?
Does he turn to kiss you at the red lights?
Is he better than me at treating you right?
I don’t think I ever could learn
How to treat you right or how much love hurts

Happiest
02:12
|

Lost inside my head and
Tossed over the fence and
Dreaming of the time when
You were right beside me
I was the happiest I’ve ever been
I haven’t felt the same way since
And if you took it all away
Would I still be living here today?
Break my heart in two and
Pass half on to you and
Now that you have gone I’m
Killed by what I’m drawn to
I was the happiest I’ve ever been
I haven’t felt the same way since
And if you took it all back
What would you take away from it?
What would you take away from it?
What would you take away from it?

The Life
02:01

I don’t want to remember
Your face this time tomorrow
I just want the night now
I don’t want to feel alone
I’m trying to forget her
The one that I swore I loved
Don’t think you’re my new one
Don’t think of me at all
My sins will set me free
Don’t you dream of me
New girl every night
I thought it’d be the life
But I’m so alone deep inside don’t you know
That I’m still just a man learning to hate you on command?
My sins will set me free
Don’t you dream of me
Don’t you hate the dwelling by the phone?
Don’t you want somebody else to know
How it feels to sleep there next to you
Or how it feels to get broken in two?

Old Dog
03:51
|

There’s a light above the door showing what I’m longing for
Begging for a little more, turned down settling the score
Lost in feeling love and hate, I am sickened by the state
You said “Hey isn’t it great?” But I get lower every day
And I just cannot walk away
And I just cannot walk away
You said you drink with good intent and that I should surely bet
It’s as close to death as I can get without losing any breath
Go ahead and take a swig and light me up another cig
Start the fire, melt the rings and swear to god you’re living big
And I just cannot try to bring
Back what we had from everything
And I just cannot walk away
And I just cannot walk away
You’re intent on fucking up everything I’m working on
Haven’t you taken enough? Why can’t we both just grow up?
Leave this damn old dog alone, pack your things we’re going home
There is nothing worse I know than fucking up and letting go
And I just cannot try to bring
Back what we had from everything
And I just cannot walk away
And I just cannot walk away

Youth

I’m gonna try to find you here
I’m gonna hide here for a year
We’re in the basement of your home
It’s a full house but we’re so alone
You never know what you’re not told
You don’t love your youth until you’re old
I’m gonna fly away from here
I won’t indulge my stupid fears
I tried to move on but here I am
Begging you for just one more chance
You never know what you’re not told
You don’t love your youth until you’re old
I can still taste your lips to this day
And hear your voice as I fall asleep
I wish I never said goodbye
Leaving you is my worst regret in life
You never know what you’re not told
You don’t love your youth until you’re old
You never know what you’re not told
You don’t love your youth until you’re old

Fine/Flame
03:21
|

There’s a fire inside
Everywhere you thought to hide
You’re doing just fine in my mind
I’m alright
Now the camera is rolling
To catch you alive
And you’re coming in frame
Treating life like a game
I’m in love
With you my friend
You’re such a good girl
Hold me until the end
And there’s no more light
Shining on your pretty face
And there’s nowhere to hide
So I guess we should embrace
The end of all things
And our final goodbyes
And you’ll watch from your window
As I ride into the night
I’m in love
With you my friend
You’re such a good girl
Hold me until the end
