Worth A Shot 03:41
We’re building our castles of sand Out of seemingly promising plans The excitement is almost tangible The typical honeymoon phase Only lasting a handful of days We’re leaving behind a naked core But I’m glad we tried even though It will mean it’s the end our efforts die And no one lied Now we know what to do for next time If there’s one And we need to fail sometimes And make mistakes sometimes Slip sliding becomes revealing Foundational layers peeling Its visible what our hand will bring Not even a hand worth dealing Now only a sinking feeling No longer each other’s everything But I’m glad we tried even though It will mean it’s the end our efforts die And no one lied Now we know what to do for next time If there’s one And we need to fail sometimes And make mistakes sometimes Now only a sinking feeling No longer each other’s everything

Time Away 03:24
It came today and I’m not sure And haven’t been before Picture what to say Time away Higher ground than in the past Remember how your last Made it though one day Time away Your last holiday Was more than I wished to stay All the while lost a smile It came today and I’m not sure If I could care no more Go back to my way Time away Higher ground than in the past Remember how your last Made it through one day Time away Your last holiday Was more than I wished to stay All the while lost a smile It came today and I’m not sure And haven’t been before Picture what to say Time away

Backing Out 02:59
If backing out is hard to do You could always try and see it through Now’s the time speak your line It could surprise and really turn out fine Things we do to keep at bay Our day-to-day unknown Magnify the lesser known Trip you up you think you’ve barely grown All’s in check and all is well After all it’s getting hard to tell Things we do to keep at bay Our day-to-day unknown Can’t you see that she loves you More than most will show Love to you Magnify the lesser known Trip you up you think you’ve barely grown All’s in check and all is well After all it’s getting hard to tell Things we do to keep at bay Our day-to-day unknown Can’t you see that she loves you More than most will show Love to you

I'd Do More 03:16
It’s such a daunting task To convey or even ask How do I feel about it all? It’s easier with hate To turn out something great Opposite this time I don’t hate you I have never done The things we do for fun And I’d do more for you And I’d get sick for you And knowing that It scares me too If you could read my mind You’d think that you were blind A mirror image of you Is all you’d see I have never done The things we do for fun And I’d do more for you And I’d get sick for you And knowing that It scares me too

Angelo 02:23
Some precocious kid Brought up bright and now a prodigy That’s what I should have got A blessed lot I might have that spark in my eye But I’m not seeing the fire Bow and spindling Not much fun and not my kind of (not sure on this word) I like the fantasy I’d rather be In my zone In monochrome hatching cathedral domes Don’t’ believe the lead Grace is grit and not felicity Years spent in agony ecstasy I might have that spark in my eye But I’m not feeding the fire

Grand Design 03:34
I’ve got eyes for the good life But I don’t know gleam from gold And it’s not fair to the one I wanted I’m not even fair to myself An overcautious calculator With a grand design When I win what I am after A little lick of luxury Not it’s not what I really wanted It’s just a little short of perfect It’s just a partial paradise that’s Hardly worth the time I’m not close to sure I Even want what I want I keep thinking I might Grow into my dreams I’m OK with living lonely I can deal in my ideals Keep them tucked in a jacket pocked Take em out when no one’s looking Tac em to my bedroom ceiling Constellate the rhymes I’m not close to sure I Even want what I want I keep thinking I might Grow into my dreams Am I stuck on an endless snipe hunt? Never catching on to the joke Is that satisfaction I see Peeking through the pines?

Sunday Again 03:50
I love your warmth and you love mine too Could be anyone’s is it true? Is it the warmth or is it you? Just cut me in half Wonder which half will last Wanna see your autumn gear Go through the motions of a year Can’t see it without you here I want everyday You say, “let’s get away” Limbo is best place To feel the fucking worst Just imagine what you’d say From the outside looking in Can you trust the distance if It isn’t what you want to hear? Somehow it’s Sunday again You still say “someday” but when? If it’s gone will you want it then? Maybe there’s still fun Fight the impulse to run Limbo is best place To feel the fucking worst Just imagine what you’d say From the outside looking in Can you trust the distance if It isn’t what you want to hear?

My Yard 03:14
I peered over the fence again today Looks like they’ve got a sick pool On the way Don’t think I could pay What they had to pay Wonder if my yard is any good Do they ever peer over like they could? Is my grass the greener type they wish they grew? I can’t help looking over there I know comparisons aren’t that fair My yard is what I can control Maybe we could splurge for An aboveground pool But you can’t dive in Don’t see the earthly use Are we getting it just to be cool? I can’t help looking over there I know comparisons aren’t that fair My yard is what I can control

Anymore 02:39
If time is wasted Then I should make it You can’t take mine away from me Anymore I wont be punished For you escaping I need to get it before I loose Anymore, anymore, anymore Try to find the balance always I can’t help but feel the decay If time’s not on my side then where? Time doesn’t feel so fair I trade my time for your affection But you’re making out with half of the score I’ve been faithful, but what’s it to you? Can’t we work it out for a little bit more? A bit more, a bit more Try to find the balance always I can’t help but feel the decay If time’s not on my side then where? Time doesn’t feel so fair

Untitled 02:30
How did you know That when you showed me The finer things My interest would grow Pulling me to the fruits they bring Convocations were a treat And I’d see your smile every time That we’d meet To eat with the queen again And loved ones too I wouldn’t trade our then Calling out to you The love that you give Forever living long after you And memories forgive Each one reminding how I miss you Convocations were a treat And I’d see your smile every time That we’d meet To eat with the queen again And loved ones too I wouldn’t trade our then Calling out to you
