One, Two, Three
Counting on your fingers
And your ABC’s
Writing twenty-six letters to me
Walking through the trees
Look what we discovered
Ancient mysteries
Buried undercover of leaves
Of leaves
I guess we’ll have to wait and see
Until you’re older
And it’s time to set you free
If you’ve grown away
From
Mornings in the park
You know they’ll never happen
Cause we’re up to late
Playing and a laughing
Till three
Till three
Laying on a beach
Waiting for an alien
The dark rift was coming
Here we are in twenty-thirteen
Thirteen
I guess we’ll have to wait and see
Until your older
And it’s time to set you free
If you’ve grown away
From
I guess we’ll have to wait and see
Until your older
And it’s time to set you free
If you’ve grown away
Oh, don’t you grow away
Don’t you grow away from me
Do you wait by the phone
For your life to call
Do you try to deny
That your past is gone
Do you look far away
For your closest dreams
Do you try to describe
How you used to be
In these times I’m out drinking and stoned
It helps to drown my pain you see
But I’m not lonely
Because in hard times
Well I’m hardly alone
It helps us make it through the day
Do you turn to your friends
For that undying love
Do you pray in your head
That there’s a god above
Do you look far away
For your closest dreams
Do you try to describe
How you used to be
In these times I’m out drinking and stoned
It helps to drown my pain you see
But I’m not lonely
Because in hard times
Well I’m hardly alone
It helps us make it through the day
But don’t you wait for me to find you
My time is coming
My time is coming
Don’t you look skin deep to find out
If your time is coming
If your time is coming
And don’t you wait for me to find you
My time is coming
My time is coming
Don’t you look skin deep to find out
If your time has come
Your time has come
Yeah
Because, in these times I’m out drinking and stoned
It helps to drown my pain you see
But I’m not lonely
Because in hard times
Well I’m hardly alone
It helps us make it through the day
C’mon Suzie
The hook now hangs empty
No songs left to play
The strings were all dusty
With no reason to stay
The times when you’d give me everything
I’d have nothing to spare
I’m selfish and needy
I’m the farthest from fair
Old pictures lay piled
And pulled from display
I can’t find the strength in closure to throw them away
The times when you’d give me everything
I’d have nothing to spare
I was selfish and greedy
I was the farthest from fair
But don’t stop until we’re there
Without a care
In this world
Such a girl
The sun beams in softly
Where you used to lay
I wake up half shadowed
Part night and part day
The times when you’d give me everything
I’d have nothing to spare
I’m selfish and needy
I’m the farthest from fair
But don’t stop until we’re there
Without a care
In this world
Such a girl
And I was thinking
You were kinda special
And I was dreaming
That we’d be together
Well 10 years ago
And the moment that we had
Well now-a-days
Well it makes me quite sad
I shoud’ve known that we’d never would’a last
But now your gone and it’s late
And I was thinking
You were kinda special
And I was dreaming
That we’d be together
Well 10 years ago
And the moment that we had
Well now-a-days
Well it makes me quite sad
I shoud’ve known that we’d never would’a last
But now your gone
And it’s too late for me now
To forget her
And it’s too late for me now
To surrender
And it’s too late for me now
To convince her how
That I miss her
And Heather
It’s late
Well 10 years ago
And the moment that we had
Well now-a-days
Well it makes me quite sad
I shoud’ve known that we’d never would’a last
But now your gone
And it’s too late for me now
To forget her
And it’s too late for me now
To surrender
And it’s too late for me now
To convince her how
That I miss her
And Heather
It’s late
Is he better than me
I ask endlessly
Or does he show you the love
From the stars above
Does he listen when you
When you speak your lies and your worn half truths
Or does he show you the way
To make tomorrow better than today
Well I don’t know why I’m the one repenting
I don’t know why I find the urge so tempting
All alone in the middle of the night
Take your wrongs and I try to make them right
You made a point to surmount
All my fears and doubts
With every slip of your tongue
Well the less I clung
To the thought of the days
When I dreamed that you’d never go away
And then through shaming assaults
Well I know now that it’s not my fault
Still I don’t know why I’m the one repenting
I don’t know why I find the urge so tempting
All alone in the middle of the night
Take your wrongs and I try to make them right
Is he better than me
I ask endlessly
Or does he show you the love
From the stars above
Does he listen when you
When you speak your lies and your worn half truths
Or does he show you the way
To make tomorrow better than today
Well I don’t know why I’m the one repenting
I don’t know why I find the urge so tempting
All alone in the middle of the night
Take your wrongs and I try to make them right
The room is breeding silence
The thoughts pour through my head
The love that once lay beside me
No longer warms my bed
Just wait here I’ll be back here tomorrow
There’s some things your mind should never think
Just wait here and I’ll come to you in the mourning my love
And I know the night seems long
But I’ll come back where I belong
In the mourning
The weight, a faint memory whisper
A dream I’ve come to know
A gift from a life built on wishes
This one I can’t let go
Just wait here I’ll be back here tomorrow
There’s some things your mind should never think
Just wait here and I’ll come to you in the mourning my love
And I know the night seems long
But I’ll come back where I belong
In the mourning
Just wait here I’ll be back here tomorrow
There’s some things your mind should never think
Just wait here and I’ll come to you in the mourning my love
And I know the night seems long
But I’ll come back where I belong
In the mourning
Hey Doscha
Did you see the sun beams
Shatter sharply
And fall right out of sight
Hey Doscha
Could you hear the moon scream
In the darkness
Black and freezing night, night, night
Leaving you dark
Dark in the sky
My heart
Heart could never take
A few stars
Just you and I
My light
Light will never break
Hey Doscha
Did they visit your dreams
On that Thursday
Third day since they died
Hey Doscha
Cherish what you have seen
It’s just their way
Way to say goodbye a last time
Leaving you dark
Dark in the sky
My heart
Heart could never take
A few stars
Just you and I
My light
Light will never break
Leaving you dark
Dark in the sky
My heart
Heart could never take
A few stars
Just you and I
My light
Light will never
Leave you dark
Dark in the sky
My heart
Heart could never take
A few stars
Just you and I
My light
Light will never break
There’s a super double agent in this border hick town
You know

He’s gathering all the secrets
Go on home now and call all your friends

They’re rounding up the rejects
Go on home now and warn all your friends

If you’re the last to know
You’ll be the first to go

But you know no one will believe you
You clawed your way towards home
Bloodied and drugged
Bloodied and drugged
The darkness drags you back
While the land mines light your way
It’s all burning
Burning

There’s not an honest one among us now
We missed the pass
We crashed the curve
There’s no return
Judging by the life you lead
You wear your blinders and you just agree
You just agree
And wait for them to pack up and just to go
There’s a thousand soldiers lined up in row
You wear the flag
Escort them along their way
Into your fight
While safely home you stay
There’s not an honest one among us now
I’ve said the words
And that bridge is burned
There’s no return
They’ll judge us by the lives we lead
Where pain and suffering’s all painted green
It’s all painted green
You wait for them to pack up and just to go
There’s a Thousand soldiers lined up in row
You wave the flag
Salute them along their way
Cause you’ve learned to live
To fight another day
There’s not an honest one among us now
They smashed your will
And they broke your nerve
There’s no return
They’ll judge us by the lies we leave
Where fear and silence was the main decree
Was the main decree
You wait for them to pack up and just to go
There’s a thousand soldiers lined up in row
You fold the flag
And cover another grave
And convince yourself
They didn’t die in vain
You said I’m living in a Fog Of Grass
Point your finger
Got 3 pointing back right now
So hold on
I’ve been dwelling on it every day
What you stole and what I gave away that night
So hold on
Read my rights
Then they’re gone
When you change into a different key
Mixing up all the harmonies
Right now
(Right now)
So hold on
(So hold on)
Yeah I’m right
(Yeah I’m right)
And your wrong
I’m tangled up in all your slack
Moving higher but you jerk me back on down
And hold on
Yeah I’ve tried about a million ways
For you to listen and have my say
Right now
So hold on
This ain’t right
No it’s wrong
When you change into a different key
Mixing up all the harmonies
Right now
(Right now)
So hold on
(So hold on)
Yeah I’m right
(Yeah I’m right)
And your wrong
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
I’ve taken tons of flack
For setting anchor and not turning back by now
So hold on
I keep wishing for a windy day
Drop this weight off and sail away
Right now
I’ll hold on
Cause I’m right
And you’re wrong
When you change into a different key
Mixing up all the harmonies
Right now
(Right now)
So hold on

Yeah I’m right

Old pictures lay piled
And pulled from display
I can’t find the strength in closure to throw them away
The times when you’d give me everything
I’d have nothing to spare
I was selfish and greedy
I was the farthest from fair
But don’t stop until we’re there
Without a care
In this world
Such a girl
The sun beams in softly
Where you used to lay
I wake up half shadowed
Part night and part day
The times when you’d give me everything
I’d have nothing to spare
I’m selfish and needy
I’m the farthest from fair
But don’t stop until we’re there
Without a care
In this world
Such a girl
And I was thinking
You were kinda special
And I was dreaming
That we’d be together
Well 10 years ago
And the moment that we had
Well now-a-days
Well it makes me quite sad
I shoud’ve known that we’d never would’a last
But now your gone and it’s late
And I was thinking
You were kinda special
And I was dreaming
That we’d be together
Well 10 years ago
And the moment that we had
Well now-a-days
Well it makes me quite sad
I shoud’ve known that we’d never would’a last
But now your gone
And it’s too late for me now
To forget her
And it’s too late for me now
To surrender
And it’s too late for me now
To convince her how
That I miss her
And Heather
It’s late
Well 10 years ago
And the moment that we had
Well now-a-days
Well it makes me quite sad
I shoud’ve known that we’d never would’a last
But now your gone
And it’s too late for me now
To forget her
And it’s too late for me now
To surrender
And it’s too late for me now
To convince her how
That I miss her
And Heather
It’s late
Is he better than me
I ask endlessly
Or does he show you the love
From the stars above
Does he listen when you
When you speak your lies and your worn half truths
Or does he show you the way
To make tomorrow better than today
Well I don’t know why I’m the one repenting
I don’t know why I find the urge so tempting
All alone in the middle of the night
Take your wrongs and I try to make them right
You made a point to surmount
All my fears and doubts
With every slip of your tongue
Well the less I clung
To the thought of the days
When I dreamed that you’d never go away
And then through shaming assaults
Well I know now that it’s not my fault
Still I don’t know why I’m the one repenting
I don’t know why I find the urge so tempting
All alone in the middle of the night
Take your wrongs and I try to make them right
Is he better than me
I ask endlessly
Or does he show you the love
From the stars above
Does he listen when you
When you speak your lies and your worn half truths
Or does he show you the way
To make tomorrow better than today
Well I don’t know why I’m the one repenting
I don’t know why I find the urge so tempting
All alone in the middle of the night
Take your wrongs and I try to make them right
The room is breeding silence
The thoughts pour through my head
The love that once lay beside me
No longer warms my bed
Just wait here I’ll be back here tomorrow
There’s some things your mind should never think
Just wait here and I’ll come to you in the mourning my love
And I know the night seems long
But I’ll come back where I belong
In the mourning
The weight, a faint memory whisper
A dream I’ve come to know
A gift from a life built on wishes
This one I can’t let go
Just wait here I’ll be back here tomorrow
There’s some things your mind should never think
Just wait here and I’ll come to you in the mourning my love
And I know the night seems long
But I’ll come back where I belong
In the mourning
Just wait here I’ll be back here tomorrow
There’s some things your mind should never think
Just wait here and I’ll come to you in the mourning my love
And I know the night seems long
But I’ll come back where I belong
In the mourning
Hey Doscha
Did you see the sun beams
Shatter sharply
And fall right out of sight
Hey Doscha
Could you hear the moon scream
In the darkness
Black and freezing night, night, night
Leaving you dark
Dark in the sky
My heart
Heart could never take
A few stars
Just you and I
My light
Light will never break
Hey Doscha
Did they visit your dreams
On that Thursday
Third day since they died
Hey Doscha
Cherish what you have seen
It’s just their way
Way to say goodbye a last time
Leaving you dark
Dark in the sky
My heart
Heart could never take
A few stars
Just you and I
My light
Light will never break
Leaving you dark
Dark in the sky
My heart
Heart could never take
A few stars
Just you and I
My light
Light will never
Leave you dark
Dark in the sky
My heart
Heart could never take
A few stars
Just you and I
My light
Light will never break

There’s not an honest one among us now
We missed the pass
We crashed the curve
There’s no return
Judging by the life you lead
You wear your blinders and you just agree
You just agree
And wait for them to pack up and just to go
There’s a thousand soldiers lined up in row
You wear the flag
Escort them along their way
Into your fight
While safely home you stay
There’s not an honest one among us now
I’ve said the words
And that bridge is burned
There’s no return
They’ll judge us by the lives we lead
Where pain and suffering’s all painted green
It’s all painted green
You wait for them to pack up and just to go
There’s a Thousand soldiers lined up in row
You wave the flag
Salute them along their way
Cause you’ve learned to live
To fight another day
There’s not an honest one among us now
They smashed your will
And they broke your nerve
There’s no return
They’ll judge us by the lies we leave
Where fear and silence was the main decree
Was the main decree
You wait for them to pack up and just to go
There’s a thousand soldiers lined up in row
You fold the flag
And cover another grave
And convince yourself
They didn’t die in vain
You said I’m living in a Fog Of Grass
Point your finger
Got 3 pointing back right now
So hold on
I’ve been dwelling on it every day
What you stole and what I gave away that night
So hold on
Read my rights
Then they’re gone
When you change into a different key
Mixing up all the harmonies
Right now
(Right now)
So hold on
(So hold on)
Yeah I’m right
(Yeah I’m right)
And your wrong
I’m tangled up in all your slack
Moving higher but you jerk me back on down
And hold on
Yeah I’ve tried about a million ways
For you to listen and have my say
Right now
So hold on
This ain’t right
No it’s wrong
When you change into a different key
Mixing up all the harmonies
Right now
(Right now)
So hold on
(So hold on)
Yeah I’m right
(Yeah I’m right)
And your wrong
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
I’ve taken tons of flack
For setting anchor and not turning back by now
So hold on
I keep wishing for a windy day
Drop this weight off and sail away
Right now
I’ll hold on
Cause I’m right
And you’re wrong
When you change into a different key
Mixing up all the harmonies
Right now
(Right now)
So hold on
(So hold on)
Yeah I’m right
(Yeah I’m right)
And your wrong
When I change into a different key
Mixing up all the harmonies

One, Two, Three
Counting on your fingers
And your ABC’s
Writing twenty-six letters to me
Walking through the trees
Look what we discovered
Ancient mysteries
Buried undercover of leaves
Of leaves
I guess we’ll have to wait and see
Until you’re older
And it’s time to set you free
If you’ve grown away
From
Mornings in the park
You know they’ll never happen
Cause we’re up to late
Playing and a laughing
Till three
Till three
Laying on a beach
Waiting for an alien
The dark rift was coming
Here we are in twenty-thirteen
Thirteen
I guess we’ll have to wait and see
Until your older
And it’s time to set you free
If you’ve grown away
From
I guess we’ll have to wait and see
Until your older
And it’s time to set you free
If you’ve grown away
Oh, don’t you grow away
Don’t you grow away from me
Do you wait by the phone
For your life to call
Do you try to deny
That your past is gone
Do you look far away
For your closest dreams
Do you try to describe
How you used to be
In these times I’m out drinking and stoned
It helps to drown my pain you see
But I’m not lonely
Because in hard times
Well I’m hardly alone
It helps us make it through the day
Do you turn to your friends
For that undying love
Do you pray in your head
That there’s a god above
Do you look far away
For your closest dreams
Do you try to describe
How you used to be
In these times I’m out drinking and stoned
It helps to drown my pain you see
But I’m not lonely
Because in hard times
Well I’m hardly alone
It helps us make it through the day
But don’t you wait for me to find you
My time is coming
My time is coming
Don’t you look skin deep to find out
If your time is coming
If your time is coming
And don’t you wait for me to find you
My time is coming
My time is coming
Don’t you look skin deep to find out
If your time has come
Your time has come
Yeah
Because, in these times I’m out drinking and stoned
It helps to drown my pain you see
But I’m not lonely
Because in hard times
Well I’m hardly alone
It helps us make it through the day
C’mon Suzie
The hook now hangs empty
No songs left to play
The strings were all dusty
With no reason to stay
The times when you’d give me everything
I’d have nothing to spare
I’m selfish and needy
I’m the farthest from fair
Old pictures lay piled
And pulled from display
I can’t find the strength in closure to throw them away

I’d have nothing to spare
