Rent and Resolve
04:56

I ran into her again, that's just the way its been
maybe I shouldn't be so quiet
when I feel everything shuts down
Take your time don't go slow
make sure that you tell her what you want her to know
I feel like I've lived this life so long
Monday night another beer
Another night to justify the rent and resolve
This has gone along for so long
She has tattoo on her arm
it simply says show a little spark
I suppose that means you like things on fire
so lets not turn them into ash
Take your time don't go slow
make sure that you tell her what you want her to know
I feel like I've lived this life so long
Monday night another beer
Another night to justify the rent and resolve
This has gone along for so long
A little hung up on the past
you weren't the first
you could be the last
a little short of spontaneous
a little soon to call it serious
Take your time don't go slow
make sure that you tell her what you want her to know
I feel like I've lived this life for so long
Monday night another bed
Another night to justify the rent and resolve
This has gone along for so long

Stay
04:40

3AM the coffee's on
her bags are packed and she's headed out
opens the door whispers in
I ask JFK or Laguardia
Its a near ghost town on the parkway
fog on the Hudson and a sleepless city
we pull in front of the terminal
won't you tell me what you're thinking
I've been thinking a lot these days
about all of the words you've said
and I could barely sleep last night
and I want you to stay
its getting quiet at the old house
one more beer and I'll quit drinking
I'll say "yeah, this could use some work"
while I'm waiting for your post card
time crawls for the first week
I'm working late because there's no one home
I've been thinking a lot these days
about all of the words you've said
and I could barely sleep last night
and I want you to stay

Suzanne I've got something to say to you
and I know just what you're going through
yeah it feels like you can't love for a while
but girl that's not exactly what I'm asking for
go, go on whatever way and I'll erase my memory
and all these hopes of what could have been
and I'll write it off as something that wasn't meant to be
you say it's all the same and I look at you in a relative way
I always have to plea for a piece and I get it sometimes
before you say that you can't stay
always looking around at all my other possibilities
but let's not turn this into some kind of an affliction
not just yet
Suzanne I've got something to say to you
yeah I'm sorry if this wasn't enough for you
I'll sort it out all on my own
while you're out making your millions

Drain the Ocean
05:41
|

the days my dear
they're wearing me down
I've been trying to get so close to you
but you're so hard to reach
and everywhere I go
you get inside my mind
whenever anybody gets close to you
do you feel like you need to change?
breaking down the walls
I can never see how
anyone can get through to you
and will it get worn down
before I break myself?
look out
every time I see the light, there's another one going out
make way cause the tide's going out
I never know til its much much much too late
so here I go again
Wednesday morning
the dogs have been fed
but I don't want to get out of bed
if I could drain the ocean
we'd lay out in the sand
but it wouldn't mean much
cause I can't control the way
the tide shakes and swells inside our heads
I lie awake
I wait
I wait
every time I see the light, there's another one going out
make way cause the tide's going out
I never know til its much much much too late
so here I go, here I go again
