1. Swingset 
Watching you watching me  
in my sheets 
Could you see my smile 
hiding underneath 
Seems like each moment 
your eyes find mine 
I lose a little less 
of more reason to hide 
from you 

Swayin' so sweetly on a swingset so fine 
the harder we'll fall the higher we climb 
why waste time worryin' about playin it safe 
when we could give into gravity 
and get carried away 

So no need to tell me it's complicated 
the sun is coming up and talk is overrated 
you can be free, and I can pretend 
I won't be dreaming of 
seeing you again 

I won't ask a thing of you 
just to be surprised 
when you come through 
ever so simple, ever so sweet 
just to hear you say 
good morning to me.  

So no need to tell me it's complicated 
the sun is nearly up now and talk is overrated 
i will be free, and you can pretend 
you won't be dreaming of  

Swaying so sweetly on a swingset so fine 
the harder we'll fall the higher we cimb 
why waste time worryin' about playing it safe 
when we could give into gravity 
and get carried away.  

2. Serendipities  
These lazy bleed  
like watercolors to me  
Innocently left out in the rain  
The little circles leap and meet so beautifully  
Into serendipities  
Into serendipity  

But he's countin lovers like children collect rocks 
They've all started lookin the same and they'll all be  
forgotten and left in lots 

but somethin' bout you  
didn't mean to 
didn’t mean to slip and fall  
but I fell 
and I fell for you 

 
So call it crazy 
or we'll call it happenstance  
when the world wont stop cause we're not makin plans 
but since i've trickled into you 
there's nothin that I'd rather do 
than marvel at the masterpiece 
of our serendipities  

To tell you the truth I'm terrified of you 
I've been building walls standin’ far too tall for you 
to reach me through  
But you don't seem to mind  
No, you don't even care 
all you ever say is there's no reason to be scared.. 

Guess somethin bout me  
Must'a set you free  
No, you didnt mean to fall 
but you fell for me  

So call it crazy 
or we'll call it happenstance  
when the youve trickled into me 
there's nowhere that I'd rather be  
than singin this here melody  
of our serendipities  

....there's nowhere that I'd rather be  
than singin this here melody 
of our serendipities  

3. Quiet Company 
You know I dreamt we hopped a train 
and headed to the sea 
just to spend all my days 
in your quiet company 
we bought a little place out west 
humble as the breeze 
the kinda place you build a home 
maybe start a family 

and risking everything 
if only for a moment we 
packed our bags with these 
foolish fantasies 
you grabbed a hold my hand to make a change 
to take a chance 
on me  

ain't but a single road 
or market place for us to go 
ain't no better way  
to build our better days 
we'd stay up late inventing our childrens' names 
you'd promise me this feeling would never fade 

we'd find our joy in simpler things 
rest our dreams in what each day brings 
and in the morning time we'd rise 
to etch our memories in the skies 

now risking everything if only for a moment we 
could back our bags with these 
foolish fantasies 
come grab ahold my hand to make a change 
to take a chance 
on me 

you know I dreamt we hopped a train 
and headed to the sea 
just to spend all my days 
in your quiet company

4. Paper Mache 
Even though I know you've come so far 
Still I feel you holding back the shards 
Left behind, from all of the ways that she broke you.  
Crumbled up like paper mache,  
I'm tryin' hard just to fold you through your days 
Held you in my pockets from the start, 
Prayin' she don't tear your world apart 

Baby, don't you let her change you 
Rearrange you like tape, 
misshape you.  
Fabricatin' all the debris 
pieces of who you used to be.  
And how i've feared it'll leave you impaired 
Tattered and torn beyond all repair 
A ragged, haggard patched-up piece of a war, war man's history.  

Fade into her shade of grey again 
Wager all you've had at stake  
and guild it on her silver plate 
Driftin' away like paper mache 
I'm so sick of the sound of your  
Shrouded, slow decay 

But who am I to judge an ill-fated track, 
not even I can throw this paper back. (x2) 

Keep Up 
Little girl, little girl 
you wanna run with the bulls 
your shoes are filled full 
pebbles keep your cool 

little girl, little girl 
dontcha wanna really shine 
insist it's your time 
what's a little white lie 

you'll never be more  
than the little girl 
sneaking lemon drops 
from the candy store 
cause their so sweet 
you always complain of the growing pains 
you always slip away to another plane but 
can you... 

Keep up 
can you keep up 
can you 

Who you trying to fool  
always gonna be the same 
best to drop your cards and leave the game 
you only got yourself to blame 

don't you think that they know 
behind the coat your stilts still show 
don't you think they know 

Keep up,  
can you.... 

5. Linger 
Hallucinatin' saving grace 
he prayed she'd leave him alone 
he was afraid to find that  
she had haunted here all this time 

so point the finger 
god forbid you let this feeling linger 
but given the chance 
would you show me your song and dance 
ba da ba, ba da ba 

and you, and you 
you let her push you through 
and you, and you 
just linger like you do 
and you, and you 
you can make me 
you can make me bad 

he came to compromise  
but simply could not sympathize 
he went and knocked me down  
to scratch me up up off of the ground 

so how low, how low 
how low do you go 
how low, how low  
how low do you go 
how low, how low 

how low, how low 
how low will you go? 

6. But a Memory 
Sick & tired of always sittin on the sidelines 
always playin' nice 
always been the one to pay the price 
if I could build it up 
if i could make it strong 
i'd maybe make it to the end of this goddamn song 
i would lose my shit 
finally throw a fit 
finally fine a way to finally be through with it 

I wanna hate you. 
wanna break you. 
wanna make you see all the ways you've 
broken me.  

Can't help but want to defend you  
when the wolves come sniffin' round 
they use their dirty words to tear you apart 
they bring you down 
i know were better than that 
i've been the first to stray from the pack 
but after one, two, three, four times 
I'm giving up on giving out 
giving into your lies 

Does she know bout the kiss that you stole 
that night from me 
on that lamp lit street, no 
does she know bout the kiss that you stole 
that night from me 
does she know you cheat, oh 
does she know 
cause you know 
you're nothing but a memory to me.  

so you come crawling to me 
aw shucks, 
so sweet.  
trying to pry one last night 
from me 
unless you came here tonight 
to start a fight 
best get movin it,  
this time i'm losin it 
been here before, now 
baby i'm through with it 

How dare you 
try to be 
any more than a  
memory to me 

how dare you 
try to be 
any more than a 
bad, bad memory 
a bad, bad memory  (x      ) 

....you'll be nothing but a memory to me.  

7. One More Day  

One more day 
one more night 
one more gig 
before I might 
find my way into your life 
there I'll stay in your delight 

Chorus 
Just one more day 
till I find my way  
to you 

one more call 
before I leave this all 
behind me 
after this one last call 
swear I, swear I'll leave this all behind me 
but after this one last time will you, will you 
still be mine 

One more smile is all I need, please 
one more kiss before I leave, just 
one more joke to make you laugh, 
one more road till you get back 

8. Names we Forget  
I know I'm bout to sound insane 
but I'm thinkin' I could marry you someday 
took you from the bar to my bed 
should have left you at my door instead 

So why'd you have to go and make me laugh 
why'd you have to go and fit so perfectly inside of me  
why'd you have to go so soon 
why'd you have to go... 

probably shouldn't have noticed you  
but that smoky smile clouded my view 
roll me a cigarette  
and we'll joke bout' names we both forget 
joke bout' names we both forget 

beer or two down at the bar  
you'll show me what a fool you are 
lead me to the floor dance 
and I'll make believe it's real romance 
make believe it's real romance 

Lying round my living room 
Just sinkin in those timeless tunes 
Spill to me your dying dreams 
And I'll up and give you everything 
Up and give you everything  

watch you walk out to your car 
And I'll scratch myself this brand new scar 
Bite my lip and say we're free 
But these flings don't fly,  
they clip my wings.  
flings don't fly 
they clip my wings,  
flings don't fly  
they only clip my wings 

months from now I'll make it big 
and you'll write yourself your first big hit  
find yourself along my path  
and we'll look back to this day  
and laugh... 

I know I'm bout' to sound insane 
but you know I thought maybe I would marry you someday
