Wearing Down

WEARING DOWN
I lie awake and you will come
and say don't worry it was all in fun
we sat outside and watched the old year pass
I knew one day that this would never last
if the words came easy
you say that's all you needed
and how you tried to save me
once the ties had faded
down below the railway bridge
I'll hold you close and closer still
on the rocks by that rolling stream
you say don't look now it's just a dream
if the words came easy
you say that's all you needed
and how you tried to save me
once the ties had faded
we slip down into a hole in the ground
I hope forever that we won't be found
under the earth and under the trees
you say we're both such simple machines
whoever thought we'd be slowly wearing down
without a warning and without a sound
if the words came easy
you say that's all you needed
and how you tried to save me
once the ties had faded

When It Goes Your Way

WHEN IT GOES YOUR WAY
they lie in waiting
they stand at attention
they feel just what they're speaking
they get just what they're after
all the days you left out
all the ways you're let down
oh the night's abandon
take away my chances
when it goes your way
you'll be waiting
your face cooked down
and worn thin
and all we found wanting
left the sound drifting
remember how
and so I'll follow
my love I forego
put all of my big plans
right here on this hand
oh these legs have wandered
for sure he'll put me under
oh my love forsake me
only lead can save me
when it goes your way
you'll be waiting
your face cooked down
and worn thin
and all we found wanting
left the sound drifting
remember how
all we have to do is wait and see
walk the streets and take what comes along
all she wants is just to sleep it off
all we have to do is wait and see

Just Play the Part

JUST PLAY THE PART
you were young and so was he
and all you hoped for across the sea
in the valley where all your dreams
reach through the dark in projected relief
and though you worry about your cause
I don't know why I let you off
so say you'll follow
where I go wrong
time to be leaving
thoughts of moving on
my little baby jane
don't go and leave me low
can't you see that once was me
now but a frame in my memory
all around you they go their way
when all they want is washed away
now you're left to cover your scars
cause no one likes a fading star
so say you'll follow
where I go wrong
time to be leaving
thoughts of moving on
my little baby jane
don't go and leave me low
just play the part
of the girl with the broken heart

Traces

TRACES
see these waters let them take you down
the empty shades of what we thought we'd found
feeling the weight of when we walked this ground
shed all the traces
of days we had it all worked out
see all these moments
fall away into the night
city lights below
don't you take it slow
city lights come on
and move me right along
and all those mountains that I promised you
picture these moments with a loaded heart
highs and lows and I don't wanna start
shed all the traces
of days we had it all worked out
see all these moments
fall away into the night
city lights below
don't you take it slow
city lights come on
and move me right along

NEVER GOING TO GET IT RIGHT
let's just wait this out
and keep our heads cast down
and all the shots we fired
like wind between the pines
so hold me up to a height
I can only hope to belie
and I'll roll down into your arms
and we can live like we did before
you say we're never gonna get it right
we're only gonna use it up
I'm only gonna
take your hand once you've moved on
call out your name once I'm all alone
oh dark veins of love
how to trust what I can't see
now all that's bleeding through
I ought to have kept from you
you say we're never gonna get it right
we're only gonna use it up
I'm only gonna
take your hand once you've moved on
call out your name once I'm all alone
I know it might be true
despite all I can do
like a fool I'll be waiting around
and tell myself it's not gettin' me down
i know you think you can beat it
you can't even touch or feel it
and all that you're holding under
night after night keep's callin'
