City On Hold

there's no point in arguing with you
here is the flag; you know what you have to do
while I've been gone, you've gotten old
I'd been imaging the city on hold
coins in their pockets, nothing bought, nothing sold
winter came and went but it never really got that cold
there's no point in arguing with you ; 'cause I will most certainly lose
but you have no idea how much I think about the time when we were alone
and just in case you were afraid that I could not survive this world without you
breathe out: it isn't true
one of these days, one of these mornings; open your eyes, without warning
you will unknot your shoulders and you will start to change
driving home, with the radio off
couldn't understand it, and it's not your fault
the loneliness comes when the quiet's been there for too long
so reach for the dial and turn the company on
there's no point in arguing with you ; 'cause I will most certainly lose
but you have no idea how much I think about the time when we were alone
and just in case you were afraid that I could not survive this world without you
breathe out: it isn't true

At The Door

You can leave your demons at the door, at the door
There’s no space for them in this house anymore
They’ll bring you down, ‘fore your feet leave the ground, so
You can leave your demons at the door
Pack up all your sorrows, and ship away your tears
A lifetimes worth of boxes, and we can’t store them here
Not worth the trouble, all this water on the floor, no
You can leave your demons at the door
It’s true, everyone cares for you, they do you don’t have the slightest clue
It’s true, everyone listens to you, they do, you never even asked them to
You can leave your demons at the door, at the door
They can’t come to claim you, in these halls anymore
Why reconsider, what you’ve defeated, once before?
No, you can see your demons to the door
It’s true, everyone cares for you, they do you don’t have the slightest clue
They do, you never even asked them to

Easy

When you treat your love like capital you’re the only one on your mind
You invest in the ones who’ll give you the steadiest footing for your climb
Like a shirt that catches your eye; you decide to try it on
But if the pattern ain’t working for you or the cut is all wrong
You can try a new one, any time you want, anytime you want
When you realize the ways you’ve chosen
have left things charred instead of glowing
And the best that you can do is look away
The truth is that you caused the fall, then you just as soon forgot it all
Left that trail of smouldering remains
Like deciding to take a new way home on the weekday in the eve
You just get off an exit early and drive the rest of the way in the streets
You can go a new way, anytime you want, anytime you want
You can go a new way, anytime you want, anytime you want
You make it sound so easy, easy; you make it sound so easy to change your mind
When you realize the words you’ve chosen have left things
Scarred instead of growing; and the best that you can do is run away
You swore that you’d be liable until a loss seemed undeniable
Left that trail of wreckage in your wake
Like deciding to take a new way home on the weekday in the eve
You just get off an exit early and drive the rest of the way in the streets
You can go a new way, anytime you want, anytime you want
You can go a new way, anytime you want, anytime you want
You make it sound so easy, easy, you make it sound so easy to change your mind

No Romance
06:39

There’s nothing to see here; no romance in the room
Best not to get too excited; everyone will be going home soon
You know it’s getting dangerous to think about the things you love the best
You know you probably should lay low the days you feel the ache inside our chest
You tried so hard, you did your best, the answer wasn’t obvious
Now see how time goes flying by; you’re more afraid to live than you are to die
I’m terrified, to look inside, to look inside
I’m terrified, to look inside, to look inside
It had no color, had no shape, the feeling would take years for you to name
A passing cloud and then the sun, invisible to all except for one
Our arms don’t have to touch for me to know you’ve sacrificed so much
Now see how time goes flying by; you’re more afraid to live than you are to die
We know; we know, we know it hurt you so
But you, you have to fix it on your own
Yeah you have to fix it on your own

You Love Me Better
04:31
|

I’d like to live here in this moment; the one where I can hardly stand the wait
Lost in the sweet anticipation, of the moment where I finally kiss your face,
It’s true, you think the same things that I do, you think the same things that I do
You never promised you could give me the things I never thought I’d need to take
We always thought it would be easy to talk about the things we couldn’t name
It’s true, you think the same things that I do, you think the same things that I do
You love me better when I’m far away; you give me everything I need
When there’s time & space between us, calculations happen at half speed

The Peripheral
04:17
|

don't look too long; you don't want anyone to get the wrong idea about you
or what you're doing here
make yourself small; you know the meaning of the word peripheral
make everyone more comfortable
you used to shine all the time; barely even had to try
you were so bright, no one could have guessed
that you, you were just reflecting the light
everyone says it's the most cinematic scene when you fall;
but I don't feel a thing
maybe I'm broken, or is it possible they're mad?
all you see are the things you've never had
you used to shine all the time, barely even had to try
you were so bright no one could have guessed
that you, you were just reflecting the light
