1. every single night
you're the last thing on my mind
no use counting sheep
it's just you and me
and the memories i keep
every day i wake
mother farther away
no use wondering why
it's just you and me
and the longest wave goodbye

CH
the story didn't end
like i wanted it to 
and i can't find a pen
to save your life
it hurts to pretend
anything would be different
if you were alive
i still wish you were alive

2. every time i breathe
you're the lungs in me
no use holding the inhale
it's still you and me
hanging crooked on the nail

CH

​i've got a friend who thinks she's jesus
but only when she's starting to climb
if you take away the storm she's braving
i think she does enough saving on her own time
she don't need the divine
 
i've got a friend simply known as V to us
she gives music away for the joy that it brings
she lives beautiful verse after verse
and sometimes that chorus can hurt
but she's gonna play anyway
she's gonna sing
 
she's got a friend who'll stand in her corner
round after round swing after swing
i've seen some scary shit
but i'm not afraid of it
cause she gave that gift to me
 
i'm in a band with my friend veronica
sometimes she's in command
sometimes i tow the line
so V i'm gonna wait for you
in every single waiting room
i don't care how many times
cause time always takes time
 
i've got a friend
and she's got me

you’re in a hurry to heal
but you can't move too fast
this ambulance is screaming
but it's running out of gas
and the feeling's you feel
they're hard like a cast
don't try to make haste
give it time, give it space
this too shall pass
 
let it pass, let it pass, let it pass, it shall pass
 
you’re in a genesis
it's your lot in life
just stay on track
don't ever look back
don't end up like lot's wife
you wanna throw a fit
but you gotta show some class
quit making plans
cause it's out of your hands
this too shall pass

​there’s a shroud of silence
that sends us off to sleep
there’s a cloud so dense
filled with words we dare not speak
tongues are tied, i can’t explain
if mine is biting yours
guess we refrain from the rain
cause when it pains it pours
 
there’s a shred of sunlight
that wakes us in the morn
there’s a miracle of life
like a baby being born
voices blend i can’t explain
which notes are yours or mine
guess the lights is why we fight
cause when we sing it shines
 
there’s a shrug of shoulders
that moves us up the road
there’s a hug of wases and weres
and a kiss from the unkown
fingers crossed, i can’t explain
if it’s a wish or command
guess it’s best to give it rest
cause when you trust it lands

beautiful soul
where do you go
what have you learned
that we don't yet know
 
it's terrible and tragic
it's beautiful and magic
there's joy in the sadness even when it's invisible
i see you even though you're invisible
 
beautiful girl
you left the world
in every shell
a shining pearl

​she, shiny, exciting and new
me, comfy, safety, old news
we barely escaped from the noose
so please, if you need to run
at least wear my shoes
 
i know what it takes
to communicate
trust and truth are always used
courtesy, it’s all i need
to keep walking these miles in your shoes

the past is scarred
the future scared
the present hard and unprepared
your eyes so kind
your face a doll's
your ears so blind your tales too tall
 
when will you be stability for me
cause i've been a rock for you
when will you know, next time i'll go
probably never
cause i never do
 
if people don't laugh
well, they’re going to laugh soon
at the elephant, giraffe,
and the whole fucking zoo in the room
fool, full of ache
we both have made
don't make me hate
the day i stayed

perfume, whiskey
music makes me frisky
don't say that, it excites me
we're too old for infidelity
but i would make love to you in another life
and in that life i'd make you my wife
 
let's talk about the things we wanna do, but never do 'em
our partners back home are waiting, don't wanna screw'em
just stick to words and no one gets hurt
just spend all of your time with me
and we'll live in a fantasy
where new stays new and free stays free
and no one's name is lindsay
 
poor me i can't pretend
don't you think we could be more than friends
let's entertain the thought but not the action
our lovelies at home, need protection
but i would make love to you in another life
and in that life i'd make you my wife

the truth was a check
til you confessed, yeah til you bounced it
you were confused, i was a mess
a crashing plane, kept trying to ground it
i've been moved like a game of chess
you took my queen and i'm still astounded
still i refused to say i'm through
i never liked the way that sounded
 
and i know why i couldn't go
and i know why i never could
i know why, but you should know
you have my heart, you always will, you always should
 
time is a test and it will tell us if we pass it
diamonds shine the best when you polish every facet
love is no contest, no one's winning any sashes
so i'm just gonna rest watch the time while it passes
 
and i know why i'm being strong
and i know why i wanna fight
i've known why all along
you have my heart, please treat it kind, please treat it right
