When you gonna bring me love? When you gonna bring me love? When you gonna bring me love? When you gonna bring me love? When you gonna bring me love? When you gonna bring me love? When you gonna bring me love? When you gonna bring me love? I woke up in the meadow The field inside my head The northern cross below me The beach above instead I want you to be happy Whatever that means But When you gonna bring me love? When you gonna bring me love? When you gonna bring me love? When you gonna bring me love? I'm empty as a pocket There's nothing in my hands But When you gonna bring me love? When you gonna bring me love? When you gonna bring me love? When you gonna bring me love?

Get out of The City So I can hear my self think My hotel room at the end of the hall I can just sit here Nobody bothers me Serenading the ice machine I'm the Queen of Wands tonight I've been drifting but it's alright They put flowers In the swimming pool It don't cool me the way it should What if I miss you What if life's lost that thrill of the lonely love affair? I'm the Queen of Wands tonight I've been drifting but it's alright I don't remember the last time Someone thought about you It's hard to say what can't be spoken Let the cards fall where they may Kiss some stranger In some stranger's bar It don't kill me the way it would Maybe I miss you Maybe life's lost that thrill of the lonely love affair? I'm the Queen of Wands tonight I've been drifting but it's alright I'm the Queen of Wands tonight I've been drifting but it's alright

Wanna feel those desperate things Cold furs and platinum rings But I know when the deal's gone dry Only light from highway at night Ohhhh here I go again They try to tell me that love is no good Falling trees in a forest No one there to hear what I should I've been driving around This town Ohhhh hell here I go again Here I go again And every consolation is my prize I've been taking blue and gold every time How can I convince myself what's mine Ohhhh hell here I go again Here I go again Wanna feel those desperate things Cheap motels between interstate rings But I know when the deal's gone dry Only light from the highway at night Here I go again ​

Race to see what will kill me first kind of bet no one wants to win Packed my things in plastic bags I got from the front desk But they break so easy No, I don't want to talk on the phone Every time I start to tell the truth My voice gets caught behind my throat And it breaks so easy You could never be a normal person I can't find the cash after the show 9am and you get drunk before the radio Break so easy Nothing now can keep me in my place Not the cheap sunglasses you've got on your face You were always in a different state Anyway Funny I think about that record player I bought for us when things seemed brighter Heard you sold it to a friend the day you moved away And it breaks so easy Grit my teeth whenever I remember All the ways you me feel so small Keep me up all night, slamming the door against the wall And it breaks so easy Nothing now can keep me in this place Not the rusted razors that you drag down your face You were always in a different state Now I've packed my things

Natural Life 02:51
Even if nobody else does I can see you As much as you’d like to Hide away ​Why do you linger standing on the edge of the living room Don’t you wanna be good Don't you want to be free? And I won't drag you down this time And no one will do that again for the rest of your natural life Maybe I've got no business Writing a love song If every single one's gone wrong Before now? ​Maybe love was More like a picture than a road race? And I've been picking up paint All over town And he won't drag you down this time And no one will do that again for the rest of your natural life All young lovers Your endings lead you back to the start ​

Beehive 03:08
He was in love with a sound from the past I can't remember Sometimes it's hard to love when you don't Belong I changed my hair to thousands of fashions I traveled around smoked cigarettes to ashes But lonely finds you And lonely grabs you by the neck Are the tears still wet? The palms up against the fret Lay your bones on the bed And try try to forget Every line another song Every lover an album cover My collection lingers on and on He was in love with a sound from the past I can't remember Sometimes it's hard to love When you don't belong ​

True Crime 03:28
Sink my teeth into the universe Just to try to catch a spark Though you're halfway across the atlas I can feel you in the dark But I'm surprised when the fire starts And there's horses in the parking lot This is the true story of a love This is a true story of a love If it's half of my heart that you want Or more of my time I can meet you in the restaurant Bring me back what's mine I deserve better yeah I think I do Sometimes the words can be cruel to you They get lost in the jungle green Of what I say what I feel and what I mean But I'm surprised when the gun arrives So I scream back down the dusty drive This is the story of a love This is the story of a love If it's half of my heart that you want Or more of my time I can meet you in the restaurant Bring me back what's mine ​

Well it's too hot for lovers too cold for friends Find myself alone again This is how the world ends in My one room apartment Don't believe a word you said From the first breath to the last This is how a heart breaks Slowly then fast Coming out of a deep depression I can't catch a break Every time I see the light It's the eye of a train I'm down on my back Tied To The Track ​ Find myself drunk again Surrounded by some empty friends This is called a great start But first watch me fall apart ​ Coming out of a deep depression I can't catch a break Every time I see the light It's the eye of a train I'm down on my back Tied To The Track Ooooh if I could I would shut my mouth But I can't keep from calling out If it makes any difference to you I can't stop it now Coming out of a deep depression I can't catch a break Every time I see the light It's the eye of a train I'm down on my back Tied To The Track

What are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do now? Venus or Aphrodite Meet me tonight I've gotta bone to pick with you Yeah you used to excite me But I've been burning up that highway in between Texas and Queens Tell me did you come down yet To see who won that bet? My Reason vs. Love I lose again I lost control Venus Aphrodite Don't care what the hell they're calling you now You can keep the milk + honey I've had enough to Last a lifetime Oh the troubles' mine Tell me did you come down yet To see who won our stupid bet My Reason vs. Your Love I lose again I lost control But when I think of the beauty that you bring Try as I might I can't stay mad all summer What am I gonna do now?

Come to me Hang me in the stars lonesome sugar Bend my strings to bow Already packed my things to go Lonesome sugar Come to me Dust in my mouth again Walk to the coffee shop and then I call on you Lonesome sugar This nowhere town Can't find it on the map Follow the sound That leads you back to me Come to me Give away the things I love the most Keep me up all night for what you think I owe Your heart Lonesome sugar This wayward town Can't find it on the map Follow the sound That leads you back This lonesome town Can't find it on the map Follow the sound That leads you back to me ​

The Breakers 03:26
I don't want to fall in love I get lost in the breakers I just want to sit still Let the waves take me out to the sea ​When you're young Everybody says Isn't love the greatest thing? Then you grow up Waiting around for something to happen ​I don't want to fall in love I get lost in the breakers I just want to sit still Let the waves take me out to the sea In my dreams Everybody says You're the greatest thing Then I wake up Waiting around for something to happen I don't want to fall in love I get lost in the breakers I just want to sit still Let the waves take me out to the sea
