Vacation 04:16
when I close my eyes I hear the beat of this busy city and it’s run down streets in the wisp of the clouds that land on our heads in the morning I gotta get going I need a long vacation or just to move away I wanna find somebody who don’t know my name oh there's gotta be some place to go a place where no one knows me I have made mistakes and I’ll make more Breaking mirrors off the wall smashing dishes off the floor in the wisp of what was good that leaves from our mouths when we’re angry I gotta get going I need a long vacation or just to move away I wanna find somebody who don’t know my name oh there's gotta be some place to go a place where no one knows me

Watch You Go 04:09
go and get my heart I think you left it by the door take it all apart scattered pieces on the floor I don’t even know where this breaking up began I have lost myself with the whispers in the wind Its not the tears of pain on your cheek cause all i see is air where you should be I can't watch you go I can’t watch you leave Down this lonely road Drive away from me There’s no words in my mouth cause I can’t even breathe it feels like love, but I can’t let you know I can't watch you go go and get your heart you were left out on your own feel it fall apart from words you never spoke this is all we need another sympathy parade an avalanche that bleeds all our simple mistakes

Funny Way 04:24
You got a funny way to say you love me Slept all night with my phone beside my head You eyes that are more than lovely If I don't hold on tight I'll fall right in If I don't hold on tight I'll fall right in If I was granted just three wishes I’d fly through time and space to where you are The second one would be for a last kiss And the third would be to mend my broken heart Yea the third would be to mend my broken heart Buts its all, for nothing like a cigarette Its burns and fills a void inside your chest And its over, like the songs on the jukebox Wishing that the music never ends Wishing that the music never ends You said you’d never seen the ocean I said I got a full tank in my car We split a bottle and watched the sun set I cashed in all my chips to buy your heart Yea, I cashed in all my chips to buy your heart You picked up and moved across the country I still regret most the things I’ve done When I look west I know you're still walkin And I see your silhouette against the sun And I see your silhouette against the sun

The Island 03:53
I heard the mine caught fire and burned off all of your clothes you left behind this city packed up both your wife and home moved em down to the states to find a better life worked in a garden from morn till night I know where we went wrong You remember how the rivers runs through your backyard and out to the sea I miss you when you're gone You believed you better off going elsewhere to raise a family my door is open and I will always be your home I heard you’re doing well Send me postcards in the mail Come back and visit for a summer hide our feelings behind a veil Bring em back to the states And keep them in a drawer No matter what you think I miss you more
5.
I got all the reasons wrong to find matching heart Like holding someone’s hand when I’m alone But loneliness deceives us from its broken start we burn our bridges before we’re ever home its plain to see that promises are easier to break than keep cause no ones getting younger anymore I made a mess from running around building this castle just to burn it all down they say that love is the answer to cards you show, dear I don’t even want to know We forced ourselves to find out what it's like to love But nothing forced is ever truly real Still we drank our tea and lived inside a broken house and choked our way through every lukewarm meal
