July Fading to the background Still above ground Rehearsed conversations Merry-go-round Atlas found And in your head she whispers Late nights Hazy, still lights Sitting on a picnic table Kicking dirt unaware Old rocking chair And in your head she whispers Don't let your scars show Don't let your scars show The world is bigger than you know Don't try to fight it The world is bigger than you know Don't try to fight it Like castles that came before Ancient folklore Building on a spark from nothing Moments and magic signs In the firelight And in your head she whispers Don't let your scars show Don't let your scars show The world is bigger than you know Don't try to fight it The world is bigger than you know Don't try to fight it.

Weekend 05:13
Weekend Lonely, but not alone Hands fidgeting A Gatsby, longing for more We grew up on the weekend Driving all night for the thrill of it We grew up on the weekend Parties, red wine Not knowing that Age and time, will never feel the same Gasoline, and torn leather seats Remind me, of a lost feeling We grew up on the weekend Driving all night for the thrill of it We grew up on the weekend Staring at the stars trying to make some sense Even if we crash and burn We'll always have this night We grew up on the weekend.

Replaced She told me to go So I went It's hard, leaving, but I went Replacements, Replacements Take it from me, replacements, are few and far between Do you feel bad? Have you cried for me yet? Do you feel bad? Replacements, Replacements Take it from me, replacements, are few and far between Are few and far between It's been fading, It's been fading It's been fading, It's been fading For some time now For some time now Now see here I contest this I contest this.

Down the Way I'll see you on down the way I'm chasing some sunshine today The streets are quiet, no one out Been counting the days living in doubt As you know I'm on the mend Wrote a letter, but couldn't send Trying to look further around the bend Wondering when this feeling will end I remember her long brown hair Just smiling, just sitting there And I will miss it, I guarantee You want a fuck-up, just come find me.

Snow Day Still feel the cold When I walk down the road And as I'm told It will be And it's taken, and it's taken longer than I ever thought I haven't seen Clearly for days now Scattered thoughts running, presupposing And we, and we went apart 'cause you were faking 'cause you were faking you were talking but you were faking Where are we now? I'm not staying around And when will it ever be? What will Summer bring? I guess we will see It's the little things It's the little things . . .
6.
Passing Through Waiting on the starlight ahead Waiting 'til my candle gone dead Just passing through Hoping someone's waiting on me too Gotta try and do some good Hands dirty chopping wood Just passing through Hoping I paid my dues Looking back is a lost game And you know I'd try anything twice Looking out on the horizon Chasing the last day's light Faith ain't enough to survive Hard to love but at least I tried Just passing through Hoping I find my way soon.
