Over There 03:34
::: Lyrics ::: I think weʼre living in a vile Poured together with a smile. I think weʼre mixed up in the Hague With one eye black engraved. She told me, when youʼre sad and lonely Say pretty please and Iʼll give you what you need. But that wasnʼt good enough, that wasnʼt good enough, that wasnʼt good enough for me. Got my hands on my head And Iʼm going over there. Turn around, take it slow Way up high, way down low. And weʼll keep stumbling on ice Holding wishes with our lives. And if we shovel in parades For clovers grown over graves... She told me, when youʼre sad and lonely Say pretty please and Iʼll give you what you need. But that wasnʼt good enough, that wasnʼt good enough, that wasnʼt good enough for me. Got my hands on my head And Iʼm going over there. Turn around, take it slow Way up high, way down low.

:::lyrics::: Left right center and i'm stuck in the middle I've got a problem with feeling that i'll ever feel real and if I don't, what if I don't I'll get stuck back near saying you don't gotta go but you cant stay here there's a second chance on the way to the end where everybody you meet is just waiving retirement and then you mend and then you mend and then you try it again (repeat) We don't have to settle learn the lessons of your brothers heavy metal lip stained ride from the 7-11 keep your guilty keys to your guilty heaven we're a bunch of self reflectors shining silver apples drinking sour nectar make you feel safer if you call your waiter but you'll never be greater than your 1st grade paper there's a second chance on the way to the end where everybody you meet is just waiving retirement and then you mend and then you mend and then you try it again (repeat) We don't have to settle learn the lessons of your brothers heavy metal lip stained ride from the 7-11 keep your guilty keys to your guilty heaven.

:: Lyrics ::: We bought and sold each other from across the isle We knew it from the moment that we recognized We fought and held each other from across the isle We bought and stole each other when we recognized. And we danced and we kissed, So much love... happiness. And then I am convinced And then you, you resist. We thought and thought together when the chance arrived We found and stole each other when the time was right We fought and held each other from across the isle. We bought and stole each other when we recognized. And we danced and we kissed, So much love... happiness. And then I am convinced And then you, you resist. (x2)

Water Damage 05:07
:::lyrics::: I look up at the sun I see everyone, looking back at me. And they’re singing. La. La La La La La. La La La La La. La La La La La They’re saying wait. You don’t have to wait. You don’t have to wait. You don’t wait anymore. Oh no no no no. La. La La La La La. La La La La La. La La La La La They’re saying wait. You don’t have to wait. You don’t have to wait. You don’t wait anymore. Oh no no no no.

Argentina 02:29
:::lyrics::: Struggling for an answer. Wondering how. We were so close together We were the oldest feather I want I want some order. No way No way its over. Pieces of our happy night In the town south of Argentina. Don’t you want me for you. Don’t you need me for you. Don’t you see for yourself. Don’t believe no one else. We were so close together We were the oldest feather I want I want some order. No way No way its over. Pieces of our happy night In the town south of Argentina.

:::lyrics::: The pit is getting bigger While the stocks are falling quicker, and if the fit ain't getting fitter they’ll throw a fit before they finally get ya. Right now the rich aren’t getting richer, but every year they’re getting stiffer. And every year, I’m getting bigger. Can you move I got to take the picture now? Oooo, every seven years is another phase. Oooo, I can barely make it through seven days Your granny's gone green and you think its funny You went to college and you wasted your money Playing cards is your family business And when you're done you got to finish the dishes Then your girlfriend shrunk your favorite sweater You know the cause of the caps is the weather But there's a muscle man in the mountain Selling cups of fire from his mythical fountain Oooo, every seven years is another phase Oooo, I can barely make it through seven days I know, look out the window and then through the trees I know, I want to climb them, and then make believe I know, I’m trying to listen with a broken receiver I know, I’m feeding quarters to a broken meter I know, and if I try I think I’ll kill the disease I know, I like my coffee like I like my coffee I know, wake me up from this American dream I know, I’ll sell your soul if you give me the keys Oooo, every seven years is another phase Oooo, I can barely make it through seven days  (x's 2) My full kitchen sink, its a hot button topic 5 minutes late, it’s a hot button topic I grew a beard; it’s a hot button topic The gulf disappeared; it’s a hot button topic I want to record, it’s a hot button topic I want to go up north; it’s a hot button topic A double entendre, its a hot button topic And the kids in Rwanda, its a hot button topic Organic toothpicks, its a hot button topic Cookies for breakfast, it’s a hot button topic Staying the course, it’s a hot button topic Mom and dads divorce, its a hot button topic Hair in the drain, its a hot button topic Its not fair trade, its a hot button topic Cholesterol, its a hot button topic And two deer’s on the wall, its a hot button topic The history of time, its a hot button topic The crumbling mine, its a hot button topic No she didn’t want it, it’s a hot button topic And he couldn’t stop it, it’s a hot button topic Oooo, every seven years is another phase Oooo, I can barely make it through seven days  (x's 2)

In Lava 03:10
:::lyrics::: My friend says I need a pen from space Where I can be locked away and thinking about the stakes Everywhere I turn I someone’s looking to mislead Why cant they just let me be, whats the need Whats the need oh how Baby me and you We’ll make our dreams and have them too Baby me and you But only for a little while. We were young and free We were having fun. We were filled with sorrow, We were young and dumb We were young and dumb So young and dumb. We thought we knew it all We could see ahead. Who knew we’d end up just like We should have guessed. Baby me and you We’ll make our dreams and have them too Baby me and you But only for a little while.

Older Now 03:33
:::lyrics::: It’s over now. It ain’t coming back. You’re older now, Time to face the facts. It’s been a great run You got a whole lot of nothing done You’re older now. It’s over now. It ain’t coming back. You’re older now, It’s time to face the facts. It’s been a great run You got a whole lot of nothing done. You’re older now. It’s over now. You’re older now. It’s over now. You’re over now. That’s all for now.
