The walls in this home seem so thin Since the last time I let you in And every time I climb the stairs Every step is aware that you're not there. Chorus : But the sound of your voice won't escape me The sound of your voice keeps deafening me. The sound of your voice, when will it leave? The sun hasn't shone in four days The sky is filled with browns and grays But every thought I have of you Reminds me of the colour blue Chorus : And how the sound of your voice won't escape me The sound of your voice keeps deafening me. The sound of your voice, when will it leave? Someday it will all make sense But for now I'll sit here on the fence Chorus : While the sound of your voice won't escape me The sound of your voice keeps deafening me. The sound of your voice, when will it leave?

The Closer 03:24
I won't take this anymore You won't close the god damned door The dark ages were worse than this You've gotta stop taking the piss Chorus: Cause the closer you are to me The harder you'll break from she The faster you'll run from he The closer you'll be to me But the further away you are from reality Let's put it all into things that we can change Inspired by the thoughts we can rearrange Belief in something that floats around Just brings us down, just brings us down Cause the closer you are to me The further away you are from reality You've been drowning for way too long His voice surrounding your head once strong Chorus: Cause the closer you are to me The harder you'll break from she The faster you'll run from he The closer you'll be to me But the further away you are from reality
3.
Prize to You 03:19
I'm not going to right for you even if you want me to All the things that are out of sight will eventually come through The way I part my hair, the way that you just stare into space I keep thinking that I am some sort of prize to you Someone to conquer so unlike the others that you do Soon you will see, that all you want to do is change me. Chorus : I will give you one more chance to prove it I will give you one more chance to prove it to me But you had better move quickly, cause if you don't I'm gonna leave.

Wind and Sea 03:02
Been a year since you settled for what you didn't want Biding your time to leave He treats you as well as the way you feel Never gives your wounds time to heal You are face down in the water in the deep end Hoping to find something there Maybe you'll swim for a little while Soon you'll run out of air. Chorus : You're the wind and he's the sea Blowing through him recklessly Living by the hour would have saved you so much time What you hoped wasn't true could be Searching through space, now you know the size of it Still settle for mediocrity You are face down in the water in the deep end Hoping to find something there Maybe you'll swim for a little while Soon you'll run out of air. Chorus : You're the wind and he's the sea Blowing through him recklessly You're the wind and he's the sea Blowing through him recklessly You're the wind, the wind, You're the wind, the wind You're the wind and he's the sea

Every morning I wake up and say I'm done writing love songs Every morning I wake up and say I'm done writing love songs Then you climb into my mind's eye and oh oh, here's another one for the books Every morning I wake up thinking of you Every morning I wake up thinking of you Then you climb into my mind's eye and oh oh, here's another one for the books And you make me remember how good it can be You make me believe me again Yeah you make me remember how good it can be Make me believe Every morning I wake up and say I'm done writing love songs Every morning I wake up and say I'm done writing love songs Then you climb into my mind's eye and oh oh, here's another one for the books
6.
Tomorrow 05:03
A morning call put into you makes me feel something brand new You teach me patience across the line and tell me it will all be fine Move me from this place, let me step into the light So I can see you by the light of the moon Chorus: Don't be so hard on yourself, you said It's a big enough climb for us both to tread Just find a path that unwinds instead and it'll all be gone tomorrow. I worry about the changes, how our lives can take rearranging I'm boxing up history. Some of it still news to me There's years of things collected, some of it I've even resurrected Haven't a clue of what I expected Chorus: Don't be so hard on yourself, you say You've been sending me love from a long ways away I've had my illusions in my brain but they will all be gone tomorrow Yeah, they will all be gone tomorrow Chorus: Don't be so hard on yourself, you said It's a big enough climb for us both to tread Just find a path that unwinds instead and it'll all be gone tomorrow Yeah it'll be gone tomorrow, it will all be gone tomorrow
7.
Dust scattered on the streets that I call home Must have mattered when the sun beat down on the snow The air is warmer now that spring has had a day Change approaches now that I am on my way Chorus: Prairie winds please blow me home It's time for me to be alone Prairie winds please blow me home It's time for me to be alone The skies are bigger now that the sun has set it's rays She holds close to her, so close you feel her pain Her want to grow in you has planted only weeds To find an answer of what you want, not knowing what she needs Chorus: Prairie winds please blow me home It's time for me to be alone Prairie winds please blow me home It's time for me to be alone The walls I've built here are built from sticks and stones The words I carve on them they break my aching bones I'm getting older now, brittle is my mind To believe in something that I faked through the whole time Chorus: Prairie winds please blow me home It's time for me to be alone Prairie winds please blow me home It's time for me to be alone

Falling 03:38
Well it's a bad time to bring that thing up Because that thing is gonna waste us so much time It hasn't even happened yet, why would we be scared? The only thing we have to prove is that we lived Rows and flows of angel hair You find yourself floating in the air No need to look down cause you can't see the ground Chorus: Oh I'm falling, yes I'm falling I am falling, falling for you Well it's about time to bring that thing up Because you know it makes me laugh to see you squirm It's all out there, no attachments Living and breathing on its own Rows and flows of angel hair You find yourself floating in the air No need to look down cause you can't see the ground Chorus: Oh I'm falling, yes I'm falling I am falling, falling for you
9.
Paper 02:30
What does it really matter now? It's all ripped and tattered now Looking through me not much to me to you now This autumn feels like you did once This sudden chill, it was your season Guess I'll do without and I'll make it through somehow Chorus: Yeah you've got it all on paper You've jotted down all the things I did wrong Got it all on paper so I put it in this song Put it in this song I thought it through once or twice before I thought I knew, now I'm not so sure Was it all a lie, could it be goodbye this time? The things we said haven't gone away They're in my head almost everyday They may sting a while but I'll let them fly on by Chorus: Yeah you've got it all on paper You've jotted down all the things I did wrong Got it all on paper so I put it in this song Put it in this song
10.
Everything 02:58
Chorus: Everything you have works better than mine Your cat doesn't shit and your dog doesn't bite Everything you have works better than mine The grass isn't greener when I'm the one you live beside Your car is newer than the feet I use And the sky is bluer beneath your rooms Your clothes are cleaner and your gitch is white I can say I've had much interest in my whites being that damn bright Chorus: Everything you have works better than mine Your cat doesn't shit and your dog doesn't bite Everything you have works better than mine The grass isn't greener when I'm the one you live beside I'm the one you tell when you're leaving town I'll call the cops when your house burns down I don' t own a tool for every little deed And I don't keep them safe by some lock and key I may sleep all day and stay up all night But the last time I checked I paid my taxes alright Chorus: Everything you have works better than mine Your cat doesn't shit and your dog doesn't bite Everything you have works better than mine The grass isn't greener when I'm the one you live beside
11.
I'm waiting for some sort of answer from you A yes or no, a maybe so won't do Give me some sort of sign to tell me what to do So I don't keep wasting my time with you I've waited more than a week since you last called Drag my ass all day waiting for nothing at all The tears I've cried made me realize the truth That I just keep wasting my time with you Chorus: Oh, how I love you Days go by without the sound of your voice Maybe it would be different if it was my choice Give me some sort of sign to tell me what to do So I don't keep wasting my time with you Chorus: Oh, how I love you
