Alight 04:32
You were talking about moving to the west coast About leaving the lone star for the golden state My California is full of ghosts And I guess you're just another one that haunts me from time to time You stayed late at my house that night After all of my friends had left And you know how much I love you So you stay as late as you want And I opened your letter put it in my box Your smile lights up the room Even the darkest of rooms you're there And suddenly it's all Beautiful My friends were talking about you They say you've gotten hot but you've always been We're looking out with your telescope You see the stars and all the light I just see the darkness You're kinda crazy But I guess I love that about you And you're blind but you're kind You always mean well And you sat there in that coffee shop Saying that I never call you enough But did you know that if I pick up the phone I'll fall back in and I won't get out And you meant the whole world to me You were the whole library But I think that I was just a book All worn out and up on the shelf You pick me up in your car It's 10:30 on a Saturday You pick me up in your car

If I keep loving you If I keep loving you If I keep loving you Til I get tired If I keep chasing you If I keep breaking you If I keep loving you Til I get tired Til I get tired You were staring at me From the balcony Took one look at you and now I can't breathe All that I know now is I don't Know anything at all Count the steps to your door In the morning light Hold me close tell me all will Be alright If I hear you in the doorway If I hear when it stops, if I hear you when it stops, if I hear you when it stops If I keep chasing you If I keep breaking you If I keep loving you Til I get tired If I keep chasing you If I keep breaking you If I keep loving you Til I get tired Til I get tired Til I get tired Til I get tired Til I get tired If I keep loving you If I keep loving you

Dogma 03:04
Coffee in my dog mug sitting in the corner We're talking about how we adore her And now it's her birthday and you don't wanna go You're too tired and oh I know Do I get on the highway you say to turn right Ask why I'm always a little uptight And at my place you pick up my guitar Play the song that was on in the car Ooh I can feel myself starting to cry Wipe the tears from my puffy eyes In the bathroom on a Tuesday night Play a sad song, make me feel alright Got a problem? Would you tell me so Instead of never, ever, ever letting it go

Saltwater 03:57
You're the sea of saltwater I was looking for a drink Drank you up with a straw Now I'm losing everything If I, If I, If I, If I keep trying, t-t-t t-t-t trying If I, If I, If I, If I keep trying, t-t-t t-t-t trying Drowning in something celestial In your lotus eyes Trying to drive but it's too crowded They're all trying to stay alive If I, If I, If I, If I keep trying, t-t-t t-t-t trying If I, If I, If I, If I keep trying, t-t-t t-t-t trying I'm gonna love you til my days get old I'm gonna love you til my heart explodes I'm gonna love you til I sing you a song About everything in a love gone wrong Gonna sit here at the subway station Gonna read the paper and talk in a language I don't know, that you don't know That you don't know That you don't know That you don't d-don't d-don't d-don't-don't That you don't know That you don't know That you don't d-don't d-don't d-don't-don't That you don't know That you don't know You're the sand and I'm the baby Who's stepping in the bit Push me and I'll just cry harder And make you wanna quit If I, If I, If I, If I keep trying, t-t-t t-t-t trying If I, If I, If I, If I keep trying, t-t-t t-t-t trying I'm gonna love you til my days get old I'm gonna love you til my heart explodes I'm gonna love you til I cry on my pancakes Listen to Jewel to ease the heartache Gonna sit here at the piano bench Gonna see my neighbors and talk in a language I don't know, that you don't know That you don't know That you don't know That you don't d-don't d-don't d-don't-don't That you don't know That you don't know That you don't d-don't d-don't d-don't-don't That you don't know That you don't know That you don't d-don't d-don't d-don't-don't That you don't know That you don't know That you don't d-don't d-don't d-don't-don't That you don't know That you don't know If I, If I, If I, If I keep trying, t-t-t t-t-t trying If I, If I, If I, If I keep trying, t-t-t t-t-t trying

Blue Screen 03:04
You started listening to Elliott Smith I thought that it was kinda strange I didn't think he was really your style You've changed You seem a lot taller than me I think I grew half an inch too Or maybe it's just my tennis shoes You're the blue screen Screaming at you, screaming at me You're my movie You're the TV Watching you, watching me Watching you, watching me blue screen, and sometimes, I think I should call you, but I'm scared you'll think that I'm still in love wth you. You sip your coffee Talk about your mother And I cover up the emptiness for today When you leave I don't think about it I'm blasting my music on the highway You were talking about moving to the west coast You keep talking about moving to the west coast Talking about moving Keep talking about moving Keep talking about moving Keep talking about moving Would you take me with you? You keep talking about moving Would you take me with you? You keep talking about moving Keep talking about moving Keep talking about moving Keep talking about moving
