1.
Back Out 01:35
Think I'm going back out there to get on my feet It's been so long stuck in trial, if I work myself up, it feels worthwhile I've made my bed Have you?
2.
Always 04:02
You wanted to mention that I left a lasting impression, but I watched you walk away, step into a house that isn't mine Take a breather, step to the side, I look for you in every eye I turn left when the light is red, I hope it’s you who slams on the break Can't always be the right one for them
3.
Easy 05:28
Shadow in a window tinted pink Adrenaline, when you're passing, Catch my breath, I saw myself in a oiled puddle You had them all singing and gazing in your eyes, come rest easy Watch you grow in bright ways, a sentiment stuck in my head Papa was a rodeo, you're like him, you're a wildfire – you'll go out with some time You had them all singing and gazing in your eyes, come rest easy
4.
Dayspell 03:43
You can be anything, if it helps you to leave, I will watch in disbelief I can’t wait for my break ‘cause I got a heavy pack that’s been sitting on my back You can’t get out of your shell I can’t get out under your spell You can’t get out of your hell ‘cause it lingers like a distant bell I have watched Miss August bite the skin off of her lips and pretend no one saw it But I know that she’s worth so much more than what she sees Hide the musk under the sea You can’t get out of your shell I can’t get out under your spell You can’t get out of your hell ‘cause it lingers like a distant bell
5.
Remember 03:03
Change of rusty strings, staring out a bathroom window for too long – a bird caws at me, tries to get me out there to show me rings Fold an old t-shirt that was yours but then mine, a distant memory I wanted to hold, put it at the bottom of my drawer At least I’m feeling something Saw you at the show, couldn’t get myself to hear what you wrote, so I stared at the floor – try to not remember flushed skin, chewing on a strawberry with the stem At least I’m feeling something
6.
Swim 03:18
Spare key in the front yard, underneath the bed of flowers, they’re plastic, you can come in whenever you’re wanting or needing to be somewhere other than homestead Tell me something I wish you could have said Tell me with notion so I believe it Warm salt water to wash out all the things I wish I had spoken, but time loosened the pin I’ll never feel ready for what’s coming, but if a salmon can swim upstream then I can learn to swim Tell me something I wish you could have said Tell me with notion so I believe it
7.
True 04:18
I’m making my way through the southern states to get some miles away from you, to get myself in tune Leaving in a week, still tasting you in my cheek Feeling sick to my stomach I saw a street with your name Kissing thumbs as promises, wrapped up in your blanket, came to mind like a flash flood Leaving in a week, still tasting you in my cheek Feeling sick to my stomach And I knew back when time called it that I’d never feel true again
8.
Oak 00:53
9.
Sapling 04:43
I hear dirty dishes rattling, and I know it’s my turn, but the chair is holding me like a loved one does I know someone's rolling over in their grave, they want to tell me I’m missing out on living Another year is passing, and I don’t feel as old as it says on my license until I’m told that I’ve grown into a great big wild oak, and I’ll always be a sapling to my mother I bet the Texas Rangers would win, and soon the room was divided And Kevin would laugh If I had my way, and only give me a pat for my birthday
10.
Annie 01:07
Annie races me to the pantry She wants to believe in love that’s lasting, love that’s passing in and out the door Forevermore “Honey, there’s water on the floor”
