Fade

Every year, every life I’ve known without you
Swallows me like the river drinks the rain
And if I find myself again without you
Heaven knows I’ll love you all the same
And I’ve been lying to say I’m fine
And I’ve been lying awake all night
And I see your eyes when I close mine and I die every time
Every other life I’ve lived is fading out
Nothing left but the rivers and the stars
And if I find myself fading out
Heaven knows I’ll fade into your arms
And I’ve been lying to say I’m fine
And I’ve been lying awake all night
And I see your eyes when I close mine and I die every time
Tell me what’s new with this new hurricane
Tell me why I should be afraid
Maybe I’m drowning in this hurricane
Maybe I should just enjoy the fade
And I’ve been lying to say I’m fine
And I’ve been lying awake all night
And I see your eyes when I close mine and I die every time
Tell me what’s new with this new hurricane
Tell me why I should be afraid
Call me out cold, call me a renegade
But I don’t think I’m lying when I say
That maybe I’m drowning in this hurricane
But maybe it’s the reason that I stay
And maybe I’ve been drowning for you anyway
So maybe I should just enjoy the fade
Maybe I should just enjoy the fade
Maybe I should just enjoy the fade

Ironside

I’m too far from the ocean
To lose you in the waves
I’ve made you such a home upon the shore
But city life has spoken
And it turns a pretty phrase
And says that I can’t love you anymore
Getting lost downtown is harder by the day
‘Cause downtown’s where I gave my heart away
The tattoo parlour light is on across the way
And when I have cash
I’ll ink your heart away
I walk these streets without you
Through Vic Row down to Queen
And seldom do I miss where you once stood
But I wonder if I saw you
Could you still take breath from me
Or could Ironside seal you out for good
Getting lost downtown is harder by the day
‘Cause downtown’s where I gave my heart away
The tattoo parlour light is on across the way
And when I have cash
I’ll ink your heart away
‘Cause getting lost downtown is harder by the day
‘Cause downtown’s where I gave my heart away
The tattoo parlour light is on across the way
And when I have cash
I’ll ink your heart away
When I have cash
I’ll ink your heart away

More Than My Heart

If divinity were in my hand like a
Like a cigarette
I’d take a breath, let it take me in
Let it make me a fool for it
If my lungs could handle it, what a relief
Never mind the cancer
I would depend on it
If I had a prayer, or someone to pray to
Don’t you think I would?
Don’t you think I want to?
There’s a desperate light in the depths of the dark
Wishing I had a way to give you more than my heart
But it’s all I’ve got for you right now
If I could twist your arm, stem the flow like a
Like a tourniquet
I’d take the red, paint it something fresh
Make it something less frightening
If my arms could reach that far
They would wrap around us both
Sweetheart, I would hold you
If I had a choice, or if I could choose for you
Don’t you think I would?
Don’t you know I adore you?
There’s a desperate light in the depths of the dark
Wishing I had a way to give you more than my heart
But it’s all I’ve got for you right now
If I had a prayer, or someone to pray to
Don’t you think I would?
Don’t you think I want to?
There’s a desperate light and it’s dancing in the dark
Wishing I had a way to give you more than my heart
But it’s all I’ve got for you right now
It’s all I’ve got for you right now
It’s all I’ve got for you right now

When You Say You Love
03:47
|

You said that you were waiting for the moment to pass
And I wondered if you knew that each before you had said that
You seemed to know the script before the words had left your mouth
And if I’d wondered up ‘til then, well I sure as hell know now
That when you say you love
You really mean to say you love the me you’re dreaming up
And when you look my way
You see it in my eyes, so you say it just because
When you say you love
You never say you don’t love me enough
Well, I met a man last summer who knew everything I’d done
And he treated me like who I was and who I could become
But somewhere he decided that he could never be mine
And I never even thought to ask whatever made him try
And when you say you love
You really mean to say you love the me you’re dreaming up
And when you look my way
You see it in my eyes, so you say it just because
When you say you love
You never say you don’t love me enough
You would not believe how many times I’ve hurt the same
Maybe if you did you would have told me I’m to blame
But sometimes when I’m sleeping I can hear him through the door
Whispering through cracks that were never there before
So when you say you love
I know you mean it well, but there is more I’m dreaming of
And when you look my way
If you see it in my eyes, please don’t say it just because
And when you feel some rush
Say something but don’t ever say it’s love

Better Off
04:01
|

You never speak to me unless you’re on your knees
You tell me what you want but never what you need
I was always there; where were you?
Just tell me where you’ve been and what you’re doing
Are you better off without me?
‘Cause I’m better off without you
I’ve had an awful time being more than a pin on your clothesline
I kept you flapping in the breeze letting myself feel the sting of the frostbite
So you wouldn’t be alone
So you wouldn’t be alone
I was always there; where were you?
Just tell me where you’ve been and what you’re doing
Are you better off without me?
‘Cause I’m better off without you
I know it might seem cruel that I can’t bleed with you
But I’ve got wounds of my own, so why’s it up to me to be the one to come to you?
Just so you won’t be alone
I am always here; where are you?
Why’m I always waiting to be used?
So you were better off without me
Well, now I’m better off without you
You were better off without me
Well, now I’m better off without you

The Crow

Simple and plain is my love
Always the way I have been
You were sinful and played it so cool
I was dark and I bent with the wind
I thought it was magic
I thought you were magic
And the craziest thing of it is
I was only a moment from bliss
When the light touched the heart in my breast
I was only a crow that you once kissed
Do you believe in me yet?
I will be flying over
Careful your aim be so still
Bury me by your composure
I think it’s magic
I think I’m magic
And the craziest thing of it is
I was only a moment from bliss
When the light touched the heart in my breast
I was only a crow that you once kissed
Cry for the feather you stole
Oh, and lie when they ask how you’ve been
Seasons of lovers are passing through
Exchanging colours in front of you
And the craziest thing of it is
You were only a moment from bliss
When the light touched the heart in your breast
I was only a crow

Sweet Simple Love
04:57

In this season of love
Send me sweet simple love
Graceful and pretty like I never was
Send me sweet simple love
‘Cause I still wake
Just as restless and willing
I won’t take
The same breaths
‘Cause they’re killing me
So I’ll send you whispers from above
If you send me sweet simple love
Does it frighten you
Does it breathe in you
Tearful immaculate youth
Does it breathe in you
‘Cause I still wake
Just as restless and willing
I won’t take
The same breaths
‘Cause they’re killing me
So I’ll send you whispers from above
If you send me sweet simple love
Sweet simple love
Sweet simple love
‘Cause I still wake
Just as restless and willing
I won’t take
The same breaths
‘Cause they’re killing me
So I’ll send you whispers from above
If you send me sweet simple love
I’ll send you whispers from above
If you send me sweet simple love
