On the the blind side Long before me In the back of a notebook diary Photographs of the old Brooke Priory Folded map of the roads behind me Anyway Maybe I'll keep changing Maybe I'll stay the same thing Maybe I'll keep changing Anyway In the bloodline Long before me Golden gates overgrown with ivy No escape from what runs inside me Lay awake till the lightning strikes me Anyway Maybe I'll keep changing Maybe I'll stay the same thing Maybe I'll keep changing Maybe I'll stay the same thing Anyway Anyway Anyway

Easy Shape 03:09
well the rain has dried and the sky went white I hate that it weighs on me but I can’t decide there’s a give and take and an easy shape holding me out of reach but you find a way to hold on to me hold on to me hold on to me it was late last night there was a streak of light calling me from the street to come outside and I could hear you saying that you’d understand go if you want to leave and I almost can but hold on to me hold on to me hold on to me

Sleepless 02:24
when I woke you had your keys in your open fist it was all true there’s no love like the one you miss sleepless both been keeping secrets all we ever do is lie long division fire in the ignition tell me where you go at night well we both knew it was dangerous to start a fight and I would call you but there’s no language that comes out right sleepless both been keeping secrets all we ever do is lie long division fire in the ignition tell me where you go at night are we in too deep? only kissing teeth I could fall asleep I don’t want to no more fighting it no more trying to fit no more lying in bed sleepless both been keeping secrets all we ever do is lie long division fire in the ignition tell me where you go at night

No Time Left 02:37
a change is coming and it’s coming soon hanging in the hallway and our living room is your plane connecting back in baltimore? who was I expecting through the open door well we watched it burning saw the frame collapse and the one thing certain was it couldn’t last where the light is bending are you settled down? is the weight of old things getting heavy now? I remember one thing I should have said but the door is closing and there’s no time left a change is coming and it’s coming fast and my hands are pressing up against the glass

amy, I still have that dream where you’re waving to me on the street another door opens am i too late? your eyes are closing rewind the tape rewind the tape amy, i still have your things you left your photographs in the basement sink another door opens and i felt a wave we haven’t spoken but i feel the same another door opens and i held the weight i should have known then we made mistakes rewind the tape rewind the tape amy, i can’t turn the page i drove the 18 down and out of state but another door opens when i turn the wheel gonna see the ocean run out the reel another door opens and i’m not afraid my eyes are open and i let it play i let it play
6.
Leaves 02:47
close can i keep this when you go? when i lose you will I know don’t wait you left a light on by the door glowing in the dark hallway we stay long enough i can’t make you leaves change all of us i can change too cold but i still feel the same breathing out your name my name go it’s just words on a page you’re face to face don’t wait we stay close enough i can taste it these days come to us not one wasted
7.
at the end of the movie we both keep looking back “we don’t change that much, do we?” something strange in the way you ask we stay awake play in the dark looked up to see nobody was driving the turn away the tug of war I’m terrified it’s kind of exciting no, no, wait, no, don’t tell me get the cake and we’ll make a wish I could have made mine already but I’m occasionally generous and I’ve got a taste for color bars I’m gonna try to get it in writing no time to waste for carnivores I’m terrified it’s kind of exciting I know your name you’re one of ours we kinda like the thunder and lightning it’s time to face what’s in the cards I’m terrified it’s kind of exciting
8.
I was wrong it’s too late to change it put me on now I’m racing patience is it too late? is it too late to face it? I belong in the face of danger from now on I’ll be brave and stranger is it too late? is it too late to face it? is it too late? is it too late to face it?

Michael 03:16
Christmas of '80 I can't remember your name but I fake it in time go where you take me out on the bridge in the rain past the Washington sign follow the echo back to the canyon at night I would say everything harder to let go now that I know you were right I can see everything out on the Skagit you asked why I haven't come home and made up your mind if I can be candid it's not like we planned it, I know I just needed time follow the echo back to the canyon at night I would say everything harder to let go now that I know you were right I can see everything years since we'd spoken I saw you smoking outside Seventh and Bell Michael, forgive me I can't keep living a lie but you know me too well follow the echo back to the canyon at night I would say everything harder to let go now that I know you were right I can see everything

Kidding 04:29
in the same bed I’m afraid that this time it’s different it’s just a rain check it’s just a plane wreck some timing, isn’t it? don’t worry that you can’t take it back go on and let it go don’t take it rough life’s long enough go on and take it slow beat the playback find a way back read lines as written we drink the same glass till we’re weightless feels like we’re kidding don’t worry that you can’t take it back go on and let it go don’t take it rough life’s long enough go on and take it slow be the stained glass be the train tracks these lines stay hidden you’re the tape deck you’re the blank check this time it’s different don’t worry that you can’t take it back go on and let it go don’t take it rough life’s long enough go on and take it slow
