As you
Dance around the room
To a perfect tune
I don't care
What you're wearing
Or where this goes
Over my head
I suppose
As you dance alone
Afraid of what I know
I used to
Dance around the room
Holding you
That perfect tune
Your thirsty heart
I refuse
Another thing
For me to lose
So I dance alone
Afraid of what I know

Hostile Possibilities
04:14
|
|||
|
I crave space
The way you crave my gentle touch
Your grey eyes, your soft lips
Never meant as much
A restless kind of man
Always ready to start again
But I guess you knew that goin' in
As I walk
The fragile road to condemnation
I phone in my reservation
Do you see? Do you see?
The hostile possibilities?
It's your social season that you keep on missin'
There's a reason for this but you cannot listen
I could make this well but I don't pray
And as far as I can tell it's better this way

Mary

It doesn't make sense
What you said
It doesn't make sense and I don't know why
You let angels pass you by
And everywhere that Mary went
Everywhere that Mary went
Everywhere that Mary went
I would go
I'll be brief
Suspend belief
I'll be brief but you'll condescend
'Cause you're too honest to pretend for me
And everywhere that Mary went
Everywhere that Mary went
Everywhere that Mary went
I would go
And everywhere that Mary went
Everywhere that Mary went
Everywhere that Mary meant
I would go

By The End Of The Day
05:36

Who's kicking down the door
I don't know him anymore
What could he want?
What could he want?
I'm not sure
But I'll know
By the end of the day
My actions defined
You say you're leaving
But I know
That you never will
'Cause you are mine
Who's that making all that noise
In a chemically altered voice
What is it he wants?
What could they possibly want?
I'm not sure
But I'll know
By the end of the day
My actions defined
You say you're leaving
But I know
That you never will
'Cause you are mine
I know it's not easy on you
It's hard on me too
What you learn to accept
What I've come to regret
It always seemed strange to me
That you'd keep such company
A man battered and beaten by the fall
A man battered and beaten by the fall

You don't have to be
More than you are
I couldn't think of anything
Better than you

And I
04:05
|
|||
|
You and I
Were on the mend
A broken fence we have to tend
Is comin' up around the bend
For a moment
You can pretend
Cause another deal
Is comin' up around the bend
About that night
You could forget
You'll never bring it up again
'Til it comes around the bend
You think strength
Comes within
But like the truth it never did
It comes around the bend

That And Lots Of Things
01:40
|
|||
|
You always cry when you're talking to me
It's distracting and a little overwhelming
I never really wanted to be but you made me what I see
Losing you in the details
You say, "yeah. That and lots of things."
What's happened happened
I guess we learn
I guess we burn

A Marginal Victory

And be happy with me
I just wanna laugh
And be happy with you
I just wanna laugh
And be happy with me
