The Bird 03:31
I know my words won’t do if I keep coming at you I know I use too many anyway And you’re the one I want to turn to, But I keep turning on you There’s a bird that calls my name Since a child I thought it vain To think the world was calling for me Through the tall grass, through the trees I know my words won’t do if I keep coming at you I know I use too many anyway And you’re the one I want to turn to, But I keep turning on you You’re not the one who hurt me then But you’re human just like him And I’m the one he left behind I’m the same old troubled mind And I know that I can’t see too clearly from The corner of my eye But you used to keep me flying I know that I can’t see too clearly from The corner of my eye But you used to keep my flying You’re the one I want to turn to But I keep turning Oh I keep turning Oh I keep turning Oh I keep turning On you There’s a bird that calls my name

Memorize Me 02:21
I’m gonna bundle you up Til the butter melts Don’t ask me how It’s summer now I’m gonna build you a little canoe And you’re gonna tell everyone Don’t ask me how I’ll get it done You’re my spider I’m gonna build you a little spider house Don’t ask me how, I’ll get it done All by myself You’re my pecan You’re my own little pecan I can do it, I can It’s summer now If I said I’d do it Babe, you know I’ll do it If I said I’d do it babe You know I’ll do it Somehow (x4) Could you memorize me Yes Thank you Could you memorize me Yes, til the butter melts

Janie Doe 03:50
She taught me the rules of her game She walks up, I fill her cup She walks away Nothing left for me but hope that she might stay I was never really with her Just chasing her the whole time I was never really with her Just drawing inside her lines I made it all up in my mind
She was never really mine So it goes, so it goes Like the last, so apropos Round and round, nobody knows So we’ll call her Janie doe I don’t know, no I don’t know I’ll let her break my heart I’ll let her go Like the last Janie doe Didn’t mean to cause her pain, But she couldn’t say the same And every time she yanked that chain More and more to blame I lost a little love for her With every siren’s song Til it was all but gone So it goes, so it goes Like the last, so apropos Round and round, nobody knows So we’ll call her Janie doe I don’t know, no I don’t know I’ll let her break my heart I’ll let her go Oh where have you been My darling Janie doe Oh where have you been Why do you come and go I’ll be waiting here With open arms and champagne And one day I’ll know your name

Around 03:44
If I had a drink Would it turn to two If I had another Would I turn to you If I had a drink What might it be named When I reach your lips Sweeter than rose A round on me, a round on you Around the room we flew Again and again Were I to be true Tell you all my names Would it make you sad Bluer than the rain If I were to wed On one sunny day Would the roses still be black As the night we parted ways A round on me, a round you Around the room we flew Champagne on the ceiling Next to that unmistakable feeling I guess I’ll never stop falling Again and again If I had a drink make a fool of me Could I put it down My new enemy A round me, a round on you Around the room we flew Dancing around the ruin As if we did not see it I swear I never saw it Again and again
5.
Opacity 03:27
I could hold you, and tell you it’s okay It’s just today, and other things that I could say Hold the winter daphne close to your face And I could’ve told you that you wanted to leave me But you would have not believed me You were always full of lines and full of love I thought I’d made myself clear So why again are we right back here Maybe it’s me Maybe it’s me Maybe it’s me Had you thought of that Of course you have Why would you have blamed yourself You don’t know how I could hold you to remind you of being safe It’s not a waste of time to make you feel that way To let it go wild in between us A gentle ricochet But we know that it can’t stay so In the end it gets away Safety is a holiday Maybe it’s me Maybe it’s me Maybe it’s me Had you thought of that Of course you have Oh I didn’t think of it til now Why would you have blamed yourself You don’t know how You saw right through me Have you ever been so wrong To have learned somebody to the point Of not knowing them at all You looked so hard Straight to the other side of me Was it rose colored glasses or a flag of opacity Maybe it’s you, maybe it’s me

I was playing it out I was writing you off It’s so easy to get soft It’s so easy to get lost Lost in it all Do you know what I mean Do you know what I mean Are you feeling it too How it doesn’t get old To be told I love you too If I can get up Turn off the review I’d still have nothing to do I’d still have nothing for you He’s sad but he ain’t mean Things are bad But they’re exactly what they seem And isn’t that nice Do you know what I mean I was playing it out I was writing you off It’s so easy to get soft It’s so easy to get lost Lost in it all Things are good, like I dreamed it But I don’t know how to believe it Even then, even now I don’t know how to not see it All the ways to put me out and put me through When I’m standing in front of you Playing it out Writing you off It’s so easy to get soft It’s so easy to get Lost in it all Lost in it all Do you know what I mean

When all my wildest dreams come true How will I know Will there be someone next to me To tell me that it’s so How will I know things will turn out like they should They probably won’t go wrong Then again, they always could How will I know when I know What it means to know it If I walked out my door tomorrow morning And ran into the perfect person How would I know to stop and say hello And not go on with my day How will I know things will turn out how they should They probably won’t go wrong But they have, so they could How will I know when I know What it means to know it And maybe when all my aunts are little old ladies And we have to plan the holidays alone And all the kids are grown and having babies of their own Would anybody show How will I know How will I know When all my wildest dreams come true
8.
I keep myself warm Under an electric blanket I stay forlorn Cause I haven’t had the chance to thank you yet I think I’d like to pass you by If only to wish you well Like ships in the night with our lights down low Haven’t seen you in a long time now I got into some trouble And I’m driving a new used car The headlight’s broken But I haven’t gotten pulled over so far I think I’d like to pass you by If only to wish you well Like ships in the night with our lights down low Haven’t seen you in a long time now (I remember falling in love I remember falling in love I remember falling in love And falling out) x3 I remember falling in love I remember falling in love I remember falling in love

To the Nines 02:15
I’m not having fun at this party Wishing that I had stayed home I could ask the man in the corner He’s been picking my brain all night long I suppose I could leave anytime But I’m out and I’m dressed to the nines I spent all my tips on a blouse I just stained Another thing I have to explain I’m not having fun at this party This drink is making me tired And I don’t think the people here like me So I’ve been sitting and tending to the fire It’s times like these I almost regret Not picking up a cigarette habit I’ll find better things to do with my hands Now that you don’t hold them You don’t hold them anymore And I’m not having fun at this party Think I said too much to that man There’s a good chance that he won’t remember it After all he could barely stand Saw him making his way round the dance floor Ain’t it awful to always want more I suppose I could leave anytime But I’m out and I’m dressed to the nines I’ve spent too much money on nights that don’t turn me on
10.
I watched my cup fill up And I watched you drink it down I watched as all the love I gathered fell into your mouth And finally, I cried for us And it took me down When I heard that song I knew it was your pain That leapt into my eyes and out As fast as it came And finally, I cried for us And it took me down Down It took me down And I gave into the sound of myself going down When it fell I knew at once something was amiss I wasn’t sad to see it go, only curious I didn’t say goodbye til it was gone I wouldn’t say you did me right Neither did you do me wrong And finally, I cried for us And it took me down Down It took me down And I gave into the sound Of myself going down Down It took me down And I gave into the sound Of myself going down

Lucky 03:21
Wasn’t scared of dying til I saw my name in marble Didn’t graze among the garden for my food was on the table Freedom wasn’t on my mind til I was told it’s cause I have it Growing old was just an idea in my youth I took for granted I always thought that I could break a habit As if it were a heart And I believed in the feet of rabbits And that the right side of a coin could keep you warm Am I really all that lucky Am I really all that lucky Is anyone so lucky as me We didn’t do much talking for three days in the winter My nails were getting shorter And my face was getting thin I always put an ear down to my gut So I could hear what I believed was true and right Could not conceive that it might lie And I never thought my need to turn both ways And kiss the door could rule my days I didn’t ask, I didn’t know My skies were gray cause I had yet to see the blue But I got someone to talk to I always thought that I could break a habit As if it were a heart So easy to pull apart I believed in the feet of rabbits And that the right side of a coin could keep you warm Am I really all that lucky Am I really all that lucky Have I really been so lucky Am I really all that lucky Is anyone so lucky as me
