Blackout Call me in danger But timeout Cause you're with a stranger Fall out of everyone's favor And get out before it's too late. Cause you had plans us for today But all your nights are up in the air And when it gets this late it's tomorrow I had plans for us tonight But all my days I'm chasin' you 'round And when it gets this late You'll be gone Take in another rejection Cause fakin' is out of the question All in This is the big one Your last night before we take off
2.
It feels just like a broken heart So give yourself some more applause But how could I even complain? Cause now I know it's beating at all (it’s time to get the fuck...) Out of this old hopeless tavern And back out on the street again (cause I got nowhere to be) I stayed in line when you named me Your backup plan for just the night So don't be shocked when you hear I am rooting for your failure now

Names 03:10
I've got a pile of excuses For why we never were together I've got a drawer full of photos That really beg the question Cause we had ups and downs We bared our souls Went to dinner and the movies Made some jokes that were our own But what was the name you used to call me? And was that the name I used to call you? You always said you were my best friend And that it wasn't worth the risk To be together for a moment And then apart for the rest And did I agree? Did I put up a fight? Well I'll have to check the records We'll have to check 'em twice And what was the name you used to call me? Was that the name I used to call you? So when you phone me in the evening With exciting news to share Please forgive my feigned emotion Cause you sure don't want to hear That I never moved on Never let you disappear So I won't crash your ceremony But that's the best I can give And what was the name you used to call me? Was that the name I used to call you? Well I guess we'll never know Cause your name's about to change

Lift Me Up 03:18
When you learn your count's been droppin' And the outlook ain't too good The mistakes when you were younger You're gonna pay for them today Just wait 'Cause I thought I did a decent job of taking care of me I swallowed all my vitamins But now it's hard to breath So come on Lift me up, 'cause I'm not ready to let go Lift me up, 'cause I'm not ready to LET GO Now the hospital's alright I guess If you can stand the cuisine But there's nobody around here To take my order for a drink And the thought of my last days Being spent inside of here Is too much for me to handle So would you call me a cab? Come on Lift me up, 'cause I'm not ready to let go Lift me up, 'cause I'm not ready to LET GO Now I've been thinkin' 'bout that time in Sante Fe Where we stumbled 'round like the fools just tryin' to seize the day I can't recall the details of how we got home Is this the last thing I'll remember before I go?
5.
Here we go, don't have to slow down 'Cause the traction is plenty And all these things, you think I would know Are brand new discoveries You see stars come tumbling down That's very interesting to me You see sunlight all around I'm very interested So find the time to notice our speed is steady, and flawless The second hand is cold and serene It's doesn't need us You see stars come tumbling down That's very interesting to me You see sunlight all around I'm very interested in you, Always searching, looking out In spectacles and stilts there you go Beyond the place where safety says That you should stop and turn around
6.
The ways that I have tried To make you crack a smile Are crazier than I'd like So maybe I won't mind If you hate me just decide to Stop feeling nothing for me And tell me you despise my lines And tell me just to please stop tryin' I'm wasting time on you So baby it's alright I'd be crazy to keep tryin' To chase you down tonight But it's painful when you hide That you hate me all the while So stop feeling nothing for me But you were the one Who's been crazy all this time 'Cause you, you think it's fun To fuck with me
7.
Apart 03:29
It's time to start a new chapter here Cause we found the perfect ending there Now I'm just tryin' to wait until the time Where we can take ourselves apart and make it right But if you change and leave me hanging Down below back where I started I'll paint your picture I'll say your name I'll write these words down just for you I'll paint your picture I'll say your name I miss you when she smiles at me With a little more sense of urgency Now I'm reminded of the better times When you were here and I was more alive But then you changed and left me hanging down below back where I started So I'll paint your picture I'll say your name I'll write these words down just for you I'll paint your picture I'll say your name I miss you when I wake alone And when I pass your house but it's not yours Now I will think about you every night I'll do whatever it takes to pass the time
8.
Up & Gone 02:03
When you see me comin' round We you hear that I'm in town Don't wait for me to call 'Cause I'll be moving on When it's all about the end You know not I'm another friend Before the time seems just right You gotta pick up the phone You know it won't be long Before I'm up and gone
9.
Crueler 03:10
Take me down to the spot by the trees Where I can breathe easily You've been tryin' to be honest and believe That I would notice if you were 'Cause the time's been crueler to you And now it's raining on me And the time's been crueler to you Unlit skies and the world is ashamed Of things we fear not to say now That the time's been crueler to you And now it's raining on me When it rains on you just Don't be crueler to me Cause the time's been crueler to you Ask me now what I'm not looking for A girl who's crueler than me
10.
Home 04:03
I followed you 'round 'til the end of the season You left me alone on the outskirts of town Remember the time when we thought we were creatures That never could die and would never get old? But time didn't care for our childlike reasons And no one could stop what was comin' on through Before the hours started slipping And then the days were next to go It's been years and now I'm wishing That we could find a way, just another way to go back Home To somewhere we know Cause we're living on our own And it's out of control So bring me back home To somewhere I know I've been living on my own It's gettin' out of control You're waitin' around for the start of the season I left you alone in the center of town Bring me back home
11.
Wait For Me 02:03
Wait for me there.
