Evensong 01:39
The night is falling... Because I want it to.
2.
(On My) Mind 03:41
(ON MY) MIND I miss you on the ceiling When your hair is weeping down above my eyes How come I always sing when I’m stealing And dream of things I used to memorize It gets cold on a satellite So hold me in your hand You are always You are always on my mind You are always You are always on my mind Until the end of time You should say what I’m thinking Everything I know you taught me twice And I’ll try to save your soul when you’re drinking But God forbid I take my own advice It gets cold on another night So hold me in your hand You are always You are always on my mind You are always You are always on my mind Until the end of time Until the end of time Until the end of time You are always You are always on my mind You are always You are always on my mind Until the end of time Until the end of time Until the end of time
3.
Say When 04:31
SAY WHEN I don’t think I’m in the right place The night isn’t mine They’re making a name for themselves On borrowed time I can still taste the smoke in her hair Coffee on my breath I wanted to see for myself Kids cheating death But now I want to go home These aren’t our friends We don’t belong here (Come with me) ‘Cause I wanna be ignored I wanna be ignored You think there’s plenty of time But I know we’re cutting it close You think we’re fine on our own But they’ll never leave us alone You think I won’t run again But you just need to say when Say when Say when Say when Say when I want you to look at me now The way that you would I’m not meant to stand in your way So I’d always fall when I could Take me home All my words Only made it worse (Come with me ) ‘Cause I wanna be ignored I wanna be ignored You think there’s plenty of time But I know we’re cutting it close You think we’re fine on our own But they’ll never leave us alone You think I won’t run again But you just need to say when Say when Say when Say when Say when
4.
Wet Clothes 04:13
WET CLOTHES I regret the way that I met you Such a little thing But you never saw me And I never held you right You came right in Like it was your apartment Wearing the rain so I’d know to resist you You said ‘it couldn’t wait’ I looked through your shirt I knew it’d be the last time I’d see you like this I’m going to think about it forever When you knew me I still hear you in the weather But you lose me My whole life I’ll follow that sound Maybe you’re with him And maybe you’re nowhere But when the rain’s coming down You’re with me in wet clothes Did I deserve what I lost? Same as before I’ll sleep through the summer My heart, it doesn’t beat to the rhythm outside So until you call for me I’m going to think about it forever I’m going to think about it forever I’m going to think about it forever When you knew me I still hear you in the weather But you lose me My whole life I’ll follow that sound Maybe you’re with him And maybe you’re nowhere But when the rain’s coming down You’re with me in wet clothes Did I deserve what I lost?
5.
Unbecoming 03:47
UNBECOMING I’m unbecoming All the things I never thought that I could live without And if I dance with death when I hold my breath I could dare to change my mind And say it’s too late for time Yeah Say what you want to me And then I’ll read your mind Tell me I’m anything Make these stars align I know what you did But I’ll find the good in it I’ve got souls to save But I don’t know where to take them I’ve got all I need, but do I? I’ve got some kind of fire in my eyes That I don’t recognize I’m unbecoming All the things I never thought that I could live without And if I dance with death when I hold my breath I could dare to change my mind And say it’s too late for time Yeah Say what you want to me And then I’ll draw a line I’m so bored with everything Your angel under mine I know what you did But I see myself in it I’ve got souls to save But I don’t know where to take them I’ve got all I need, but do I? I’ve got some kind of fire in my eyes That I don’t recognize I’m unbecoming All the things I never thought that I could live without And if I dance with death when I hold my breath I could dare to change my mind And say it’s too late for time Yeah
6.
Swan Dives 04:50
SWAN DIVES You’d tell me how you felt sometimes Unusual like always Seasick on a subway train Swan dives on your mind I’m not lonely But I’ve got time I’m not one to pretend like you're mine Shallowing sounds Leave all the lights on And wait ’til the night’s gone I’m not your heart I’m not your heart I’m not your heart I know I’m not You’d tell me what to do sometimes Unusual like always Poke some fun at graveyard speak And bedroom eulogies I’m not lonely But I’m nearby I’m not one to play dead before I die Shallowing grounds Leave all the lights on And wait ’til the night’s gone I’m not your heart I’m not your heart I’m not your heart I know I’m not Dream me down ‘Cause I miss extraordinary Dream me down Or lose me sleep Before I dive too deep Leave all the lights on And wait ’til the night’s gone I’m not your heart I’m not your heart I’m not your heart I know I’m not Swan dives Swan dives Swan dives Swan dives

MARRYING FOR LOVE I had a feeling that you’d call me baby But I kinda thought that I’d be someone else Still you know it feels good I had a feeling that you’d show me something But I kinda thought that we’d be by ourselves Still you know it feels good To somersault the night I’m not above Marrying for love My life is only under you Yeah, I’m not above Marrying for love Might say it’s even overdue ‘Cause you know I’m not above Marrying for love I had a feeling that you’d need me someday And I was kinda scared that I would need you back But God you know it feels good Good enough to cry I’m not above Marrying for love My life is only under you And we’re not below Giving it a go Might say it’s even overdue 'Cause you know I’m not above Marrying for love
10.
The Nominee 03:28
THE NOMINEE Fall from below The boy’s the undertow So what? I don’t want to be The nominee Release me Burst with the moon The boy’s a blond balloon So what? Won’t you come and free The nominee Release me Can you hear your heart in me? Is it sitting still Humming fire drills? Fall from below The boy is mistletoe So what? I was meant to be The nominee Release me Release me Release me But before you free The nominee Dance with me Your nominee They’ve come to see The nominee Release me Release me
11.
Overjoy 04:36
OVERJOY You found me a good time That I don’t understand I just sit and wait for your eyes To light up again Is there anyone out there (I know) Is there anyone out there (I’ve done) Is there anything out there? I did what I do best Believe it Show me the stars under the light of day Nobody ever takes my breath away Show me your love But tell me anyway You’ve always meant to mean what you mean to say Bargain, borrow, destroy Yeah, I’m overjoy You found me a good time The kind I’d never want How did I end up Everybody’s confidant? Is there anyone out there (I know?) Is there anyone out there (I’ve done?) Is there anything out there? I did what I do best Believe it Show me the stars under the light of day Nobody ever takes my breath away Show me your love But tell me anyway You’ve always meant to mean what you mean to say Bargain, borrow, destroy Yeah, I’m overjoy
12.
Die 03:40
DIE I want to die But there’s no use in telling you why I hate how it sounds And I don’t have the grounds To pursue it I want to die But you don’t have to worry tonight I love you too much I don’t mean it a touch I won’t do it I swore that I knew How to it felt to be you I’m so selfish I swore off my life Before I met my wife In a daydream after dark As long as you need something I’ll find it to give As long as you need someone I’ll find him in me And I’ll stay wherever you want us to be As long as you let your time Die with me I want to die But there’s no way I’m saying goodbye When the planet turns cold And our photos get old We’ll get through it The moon & the blinds Turn your skin into lines I’m not moving The sun & the glass Are like honey & brass Yeah, I’m dreaming after all As long as you need something I’ll find it to give As long as you need someone I’ll find him in me And I’ll stay wherever you want us to be As long as you let your time Die with me You swore that you knew What it meant to be blue Like it matters I swore off my life Before I met my wife In a daydream after dark
13.
Heaven Moves 05:07
HEAVEN MOVES It’s not my fault That I’ve been doing alright The world’s unfair We felt so old But it was only the light Let’s get young somewhere In my heart I store up everything you do In case something should happen To everything else I want you And I want you to lead We’ll dance under the doom When Heaven moves And all of my love is still with you When Heaven moves We’ll dance under the doom When Heaven moves Like nothing ever happened When Heaven Moves You found my pain While you were being polite The world’s unfair I love your mind But you weren’t thinking all right Let’s be dumb somewhere In my heart I’d never turn you into me We mock the possibility I want you I want you to lead We’ll dance under the doom When Heaven moves All of my love is still with you When Heaven moves We’ll dance under the doom When Heaven moves Like nothing ever happened When Heaven Moves
