VERSE 1 And if we wished on millions of hollowed point good-byes Do you think we could make it home tonight? Heart in hand your lungs in mine I would steal your breath across state lines PRE-CHORUS Distance collapse at the thought of holding on To someone who is holding on to you From events that just conspired with someone Who is holding on to you CHORUS Fight all your life waiting for a moment To complete your soul And tonight I’m not going to let you go VERSE 2 Reverse the speed a heart beats until you see What you mean to me you’re everything Reverse the apertures before our hearts explode You’re everything REPEAT PRE-CHORUS REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE Smoke stacks relapse everything you are is what I need Smoke stacks relapse everything you are is what I need REPEAT CHORUS

Last Transmission 03:23
lyrics

VERSE 1 Radio signals you used to send to me From your transmitter across the way But how was i so naive to think When these post marks date dismay? Your so far away and I’m standing in this rain CHORUS I wish I saved your last transmission So I could hear you breathing I wish I saved your last transmission So I could hear you breathing VERSE 2 And it goes, on and on and on With no resolution to the ones you’ve lost The ones that used to breathe and bleed Passion for your needs Your so far away and I’m standing in this rain REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE And I know breathe slow I won’t let you go, let you go REPEAT CHORUS (2x)

Miss You In Stereo 03:09
lyrics

VERSE 1 These satellites collide while burning out my eyes And your lips they go on like I don’t exist We’re breaking ground here and keeping spaces clear For you and for me For you and for me CHORUS This is the way I’m letting you know This is the way I miss you in stereo This is the way I’m letting you go This is the way I miss you in stereo VERSE 2 Another death by motion, six days til the final closing And your lips they go on like I don’t exist We’re breaking ground here and keeping spaces clear For you and for me For you and for me BRIDGE Let’s not slow this down Let’s just walk around Like we used to Like we used to REPEAT CHORUS

Boot Chick 02:43
lyrics

VERSE 1 Leave the records outside my room And I’ll listen to them real soon As stars have aligned on this night I’m trying to forget you But you know no one could ever take your place They never wanted us to So you can sleep in the finest dreams Just wake me when we’re through VERSE 2 I know these seasons have left you feeling cold Now that you’re all alone I drive by your house every night To make sure you’re still at home And I made my mind up all by myself To let it you, let you go The melodies have seemed to change The harmonies remain BRIDGE Catching snow flakes, you’re breaking these hearts You have no idea Cancelling plans, you’re ruining the best parts I have some idea What do you mean, you want me to go away? You have no idea Can’t you see you mean the most to me I have some idea

Five On Snodgrass 03:09
lyrics

VERSE 1 These nights and these fights fall just short of your lips From the lovers that you lost through your finger tips And you dance while I choke and gasp for air deprived of me And I miss this, I miss it, I miss you honestly CHORUS Don’t tell me that it’s through I swear, I swear, I swear I already knew We never watched these sun sets Cause you forecast rain until i drown VERSE 2 My hands are ripped to shreds from dialing inconsistent I still know what you meant when you said we need distance And oh the chords unwind to find the strings that bind You’ve cut them all too close REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE I wrote these words a thousand times To you from here And wished on every single one That you still cared It’s cold where you come from But it’s warm wherever you go It’s cold where you come from But it’s warm wherever you go so REPEAT CHORUS

Broken Pinkies 03:35
lyrics
buy track
VERSE 1 We all sit on roof tops at one point in our life And think about our only loves As we gasp at the thought of splatters on the concrete And mistakes we’re making with our hearts PRE-CHORUS 1 And there it was facing towards the heavens With an answer to all of the above Here I am racing towards collision With an answer not from the above CHORUS If this is anything you haven’t felt for me Please say it’s over And if I’m anything that I’m not supposed to be Please say it’s over VERSE 2 In this room we were one Fifteen after twelve I pinkie swore and it was February 6th I’d show you my collection of broken pinkies But I don’t think lovers should twitch PRE-CHORUS 2 Just let me feel your breath against my lips Why must everything be so uncertain? As you draw up your conclusions anesthesia knife impales My heart’s never been ready for expulsion REPEAT CHORUS If there’s anything you want from me But haven’t got the words to say I’m willing to forgive everything If it’s anything you haven’t felt for me Please say it’s over, it’s over And if I’m anything that I’m not supposed to be Please say it’s over, it’s over If it’s anything, it’s over If it’s anything, it’s over It’s over

Dreams Fall Away 02:44
lyrics

VERSE In blue light you wage a match for a stare I wanted this more than you know Dreams get occupied for days How can silence hurt so much? I wanted this more than you know CHORUS Don’t let the dreams die and fall away Don’t let the dreams die and fall away Hollow like your breath I designed blueprints for days Mapped out the coordinates to where dreams fall away REPEAT VERSE REPEAT CHORUS

The Reason 03:35
lyrics

VERSE 1 Tonight, we’ll sit and watch this world dance Through passive interference Afraid to fire back with a cause Effects of being lame While the East Ohio river burns Emotion feels so plain CHORUS 1 So you said you had a brand new way to cut it off And I am not at fault VERSE 2 A thousand martyrs come, while thousands more will go Empty handed, we’re brought up fast And all raised too slow Who will help me make This brand new recipe? To save this world from humanity CHORUS 2 So you said you had a brand new way to cut it off And I am not at fault Calendars aren’t meant to hold this many days feeling sad Why are you so mad? REPEAT CHORUS 2

No Stars Left In New Jersey 04:40
lyrics
buy track
VERSE 1 I thought we’d change these sky lines By letting go of stars and broken bonds I thought we’d change these sky lines By letting go of stars and broken bonds PRE-CHORUS So throw in all your details we’ll set them all ablaze Trajectories are broken but they still seem to amaze That you’re a human being but where’s your beating heart We’re stocking up on clouds while we’re running out of stars CHORUS There’s no stars There’s no stars left VERSE 2 If I told you I was dying from repeated shots to the heart Would you even care at all? If I told you I was dying from a lack of fucking stars Would you even care? REPEAT PRE-CHORUS REPEAT CHORUS OUTRO Your decision caused competition You let it all just slip away And your decision caused competition You let it all just slip away I know what we’re not I know what we’re not I know What we’re not We dream in color To forget light Sometimes I forget tonight

If I've Shaven 02:55
lyrics
buy track
VERSE 1 I trace these road maps to northeast civilizations I burned down in my sleep With photographs I must detach myself From your shell CHORUS 1 So you and me can finally see The thin lines between humor and tragedies I signaled a spark with objective sincere Please blink twice if you hear VERSE 2 AM/FM converse combine If i wanted this much static I’d disconnect the line And watch your signals fall somewhere in New York Far enough from you but missing was the worst CHORUS 2 And oh a sight I’d finally see Pinpoint the romance and shattered window schemes Throw your heart it falls or it flies and if I’ve shaven I’ve gone to Maine to die
