Secrets and Lies

It's the secrets that you leak
While you're tossin' in your sleep
Cos you talk while you're turning, you don't mean it
And the truth slips out
But be advised now, little one
Secrets always come out wrong
And you'll learn the consequences
They aren't pretty, and your heart might break
But I'll take such good care of you
And you'll know better soon
Then we'll play fair if they'll take care
And we'll be happy too
I'm all grown now, had my fun
And my secrets hurt someone
Well I didn't mean to do it
But I did it and I'm stuck with it now
Ever since, I have been wise
Keep my heart tucked deep inside
And I'll teach you how to do it
We'll be members of that twice forgiven crowd
And we'll take such good care of you
And you'll know better soon
Then we'll play fair as long as they'll take care
And we'll be happy too
But what ever happened to true, true
What ever happened to love, love
I know you bought into fairy tales when
They were always lies
But i'll take such good care of you
And you'll know better soon
Then we'll play fair as long as they'll take care
And we'll think we're happy too
Oh we'll think we're happy too

City Song

You couldn’t possibly be
Everything I think you are
All the things I think I need for you to be
But at least I know,
And I love you still
I’ll take the good with anything you throw
Cos I’ve heard your heart,
It beats in perfect rhythm with my own
And I want to be anywhere you are
I think I’m ready to try your city on for size
Cos I’ve felt its heart,
It beats in perfect rhythm with my own
And I don’t belong here
I know I don’t belong here
I know I’ve got to get out
I know I’ve got to run
Even if I never do
I have dreamed it so hard
Every door on every corner, every street
My home
Cos I feel their hearts,
Beating in perfect rhythm with my own
And I know my heart,
It beats in perfect rhythm
Prepped to run
Away.

Liar

You want what you can’t
And you can't have me
I wanted you first, but you can't have me
And so here we sit
With grass in our feet
And nowhere to go but up
Or maybe down, I don't know
But I'll be a liar for the rest of my life
I can't take it back, and I wouldn't know how
It feels kinda wrong
For feelin so sickly right
I lose the weight of it all
When you look in my eyes
Please don't look in my eyes
Cos I'll be a liar for the rest of my life
I can't take it back, and I wouldn't know how
Yeah, I'll be a liar for the rest of my life
I can't take it back, and I don't wanna try
No
Blame the alcohol, blame the music
Or blame me, I don't care
Just please never, never say a word
Cos I'll be a liar for the rest of my life
I can't take it back, and I wouldn't know how
Yeah I'll be a liar for the rest of my life
I can't take it back, and I'm not gonna try
No
If you could just hold me for a little while...

Quiet in the Morning
04:39

Did I blink too soon?
Oh swift imagination, come run away with me
And mark these tender wounds
Destroy the heart that bleeds for them
With useless memories
Oh did you think you'd wake
And this would all be done?
Quiet in the morning sun
You're quiet in the morning sun
Now those words you don't recall
Sincere prevarication, just means to pleasing end
Still cut me with their guile
So quickly I believed in them
So stupidly I fell
Did you think regret
Could ever make this right?
Quiet in the morning light
You're quiet in the morning light
And you know me too well
To make this meaningless
But you made me meaningless
In one fell swoop
Did you think less of me?
I was so weak to care
Quiet in the morning glare
You're quiet in the morning glare

Nope, Not Us

Too quick to say "Never"
Too scared to say "Always"
And so on, they all go
And I've watched so many fall
And every time my heart, it breaks
For what they're losing
And I cry for them
And I cry, cos I know
You are not like them
And I am luckier than I thought I'd ever be
And I've been questioned so much
But you're my answer every time
And so, on we go
And I've been so afraid before
Cos I thought I made a mistake
But then I see you
And I cry, cos I know
You are not like them
And I am luckier than I thought I'd ever be
And I won't back down, I won't back out
I won't back out, I won't back down
I won't.
I'm all in

Sea and Scape
06:10

You could have gotten out
You could have escaped
But you stayed
And now you're lost
Toy planes and moon boots
A child's play
Could have flown you far away from this place
But you stayed
When you cry and when you sleep,
You are just alone
But you've promises to keep,
And you're miles from home
One by one they all left you
For sea and scape
You swore you'd follow after someday
But you stayed
When you cry and when you sleep,
You are just alone
But with promises to keep,
And miles from home
{break}
No one recalls
The promise you made
To join them far away from this place...
When you cry and when you sleep,
You are still alone
No more promises to keep,
And no more home
And no more...
