Adult Party 05:17
i will tug on your sleeve when i'm ready to leave i'm the kind of girl who trips herself in gym i never just can win it's such a pretty world i wish i could jump in but it's just too fast of a spin i will tug on your sleeve when i'm ready to leave i'm the kind of boy that drowns himself in gin til everyone's a shiny friend kid you're looking spooked, maybe you should take a seat try not to stare at the screen i will tug on your sleeve when i'm ready to leave i'm the kind of dog that chases his own tail i never can feel well so come on and take me for a walk i promise i won't stray far i'll watch out for the cars i will tug on your leash when i'm ready to leave i'm the kind of cat that always lands on her back i never can get it right people all around so i bury my head in the sand nervous around new hands i will tug on your sleeve when i'm ready to leave this adult party

i sing my way through the days and sleep on people's floors and i drink what they give me and try not to be annoyed by the way they all love to say "hey are you doing okay?" well you used to be among them now you turn the other cheek say when'd you get so modest, you were never that way with me but you know i don't mind a bit it's all coming to a halt i'm moving on and it's nobody's fault now you travel place to place always looking for a soul to steal and you never claimed to own the game but you still spun the wheel and i used to be caught up in the tragic tales you tell but it's over now and i'm trying to get well but every reassurance just magnifies the doubt how do you rid yourself of sickness that you've never lived without? and all my friends and sedatives mean well but make it worse i'm just waiting for the days where it won't hurt

7.
oh how i'd love to kiss the flames that wrap around your wonderful head oh how you said once that you felt best on a camper watching the sun and oh how i'd love to tell you really how precious you are and all that jiving around and to the docks on her lonely eyes i am calmly tied and i will never stray and oh how i'd love you if you were near me but you're not so i do the best i can

i look at you you look away to the attraction on the stage he sings his songs we sing along and when it's over we'll go home through clothing stores and parking lots we walk around and talk a lot you show me yr brand new tattoo i say it's great and so are you you kiss my cheek right before you leave i stand in silence and watch you go i don't know when i'll see you again i only hope you'll stay my friend

11.
i will leave how i came hollow and afraid i took a walk in the woods but the monster never came the siren's fingers through my hair and all the words that her tongue bares wisps the winds that turn the tide as the waters start to rise and when she sings she sings meek and all she brings she brings to me another piece of prey in the gnashing of her teeth
12.
Take Care 03:09
sit down next to me in the light of the christmas tree i wanna hold your hand take care when you leave in the rain drive safe god only knows what i would do i'm so scared why in the world are you hanging around somebody like me your eyes are like crows and your heart's like soap and you make me clean it's so cold i make like a ghost so i won't be seen you speak like the dawn you really are something else wanna be the ink that your heart bleeds i'm so scared why in the hell are you hanging around somebody like me your eyes are like crows and your heart's like soap and you make me clean it's so cold i make like a ghost so i won't be seen take care if you leave i'll remember all you said to me

Girl Asleep 03:49
there's a girl asleep and she's next to me on this train and i wonder who she is, where she's going, and why she's came was it her mom or dad or has someone pushed her away is it some lover that's in a land far away i've got these thorns in my wrists and they're starting to piss me off i've got so much time but the time i've got is never enough and the stars start to make these impossible shapes and it reminds me soon this girl will be awake she'll be getting off this train she'll be forgetting my face she'll be on her way there's this empty seat and it's next to me on this train i've two stops left and i'll leave for good this place and i'll never see her again
