The Chase 03:53
THE CHASE she told me "boy, you don't have to stay." so i kindly took a leave i packed my rags, left my bags down to new orleans it's a drunken day on a waterway bay but a river ain't a stream and now it's all or nothin babe oh, you know what they say it's the chase well the ghost of you ain't nothin new crawl into the bed she takes it off, her skin so soft and you're back inside my head i'm wasting time yeah, i'm wasting mine but i haven't found a fit and now it's all or nothin babe oh, you know what they say it's the chase it's the chase it's the chase she's drunk alone in her hotel home passed up by her life and she drops her guard down so hard she calls to make it right there's a ringin phone but no one's home you can try another night because it's all or nothin babe oh, you know what they say it's the chase it's the chase it's the chase here we are, hearts apart spun round by the mill and we're twirling, babe, in an open grave yet to get a fill well here's the plan: you had your chance asking me to dance and now it's all or nothin babe oh, you know what they say it's all or nothin babe oh, you know what they say it's the chase it's the chase it's the chase

Hollywood 03:50
HOLLYWOOD you packed your bags, you left your number and you promised to come back home but day to day the road gets longer and the telephone line gets cold and though it's hard for me to say it i know that you've gotta stay in hollywood i played the fool, lay down beside you thinking everything turns out fine but now you're gone without a warning chasing dreams that you had last night and i could see the life you're leading if i could get to sleep hollywood is fading away, and i can't see you hollywood is fading away hollywood is fading away, and i can't see you in the backseat, on the backseat, with the windows down and you're screaming at the radio there you are, your love behind you and a future you paid to own the sun goes down, and all around you the stars are coming out, making their homes but i don't need your night life, baby i am too alive hollywood is fading away, and i can't see you hollywood is fading away hollywood is fading away, and i can't see you in the backseat, on the backbeat, with the windows down and hidden in the sound is a promise that you'll see me again but i won't see you hollywood is fading away hollywood is fading away hollywood is fading away (i don't mind if i can't see you) hollywood is fading away (i don't mind if i can't see you) hollywood is fading away (i don't mind if i can't see you) hollywood is fading away (and i don't mind) you packed your bags, you left your number and you promised to come back home

Dandelions 02:48
DANDELIONS take the clouds for granted while you form the shapes yourself of a boy you haven't met yet search the hills for hours looking for his flowers crush my dandelions underneath your feet, that's fine because my love is yellow and flies when it dies it's a powder umbrella for a weed set in flight you could sow me forever and reap nothin at all or you could weave me in your hair... climb the tallest tree until your eyes take in the view of his eyes passing right over you and blame the constellations as your day turns into night but you can't turn this black into white and that's fine, yeah, that's fine because my love is yellow and it flies when it dies it's a powder umbrella for a weed set in flight you could sow me forever and reap nothin at all or you could weave me in your hair... and on and on and on and on...

Horses 03:21
HORSES you took me on down by the river you bathed me, you washed me in the blood forgiveness beyond the empty bottle i drank you down, and you filled me up then you sped me on the backs of your revival you led me, you strung me by a thread to the race line, all alone you claimed a victory you said you'd won, you held your head but you better get off you better get off your horses right now baby you better get off you better get off the way you better get off you better get off your horses cause right now it's too late to pull in the reins to pull in the reins you told me "this is only the beginning" you held me, like a baby in your arms but i know now how the truth can be deceiving so i'm bowing out, i'm leaving town but you better get off you better get off your horses right now baby you better get off you better get off the way you better get off you better get off your horses cause right now it's too late to pull in the reins could you really hold your own and say "do you believe?" would you really pride your promise, babe if i'd gone away? you better get off you better get off your horses right now baby you better get off you better get off the way you better get off you better get off your horses right now baby you better get off you better get off the way you better get off you better get off your horses cause right now it's too late to pull in the reins to pull in the reins

Ain't About 04:18
AIN'T ABOUT a fallen angel in the snow tonight promises of never returning frozen fingers grip a jagged knife hanging out the backs of us all together in despair our season it ain't about the leaves buried after the fall it ain't about the dirty sunset or the call it ain't about the loving or the leaving the giving or the getting at all, no and it ain't about christmas no it ain't about you can bet your ass gone are the days of paper snowflakes hanging from the ceiling and walls and all the innocence they imitate brittle white, in symmetry all together in despair our season it ain't about the leaves buried after the fall it ain't about the dirty sunset or the call it ain't about the loving or the leaving the giving or the getting at all and it ain't about christmas no it ain't about we could break our chains tonight crawl out of graves dug deep and we could laugh a lullaby oh, it's softly singing us to sleep together in despair all together in repair now it ain't about the leaves buried after the fall it ain't about the dirty sunset or the call it ain't about the loving or the leaving the giving or the getting at all and it ain't about no it ain't about

Hand In Hand 04:01
HAND IN HAND lover, won't you come back home there's a cup with your name where it sat, there's a stain and lover, don't you cry alone there's this shoulder of mine and there's dust where it dried the last time hand in hand our love be damned and hand in hand we rise fallow to fall from the gallows again hand in hand lover, when you call my name won't you give it some time cause you don't sound the same and lover, when i fall apart will you just hold me tight cause it might be the last time hand in hand our love be damned and hand in hand we rise from the fallow to fall from the gallows again we could fall back together again but the pieces weren't meant to fit in we could all lose ourselves in the end hand in hand our love be damned and hand in hand we rise from the fallow to fall from the gallows born in the shallows again hand in hand

In Time 03:48
IN TIME in time your wounds will close, child the scars will fade and all that you'll remember is the memory of a time your heart will heal, child when the pieces are all sand they'll fill the bottom of the glass will it last? or will it pass? in time the world will cool, child the tempers of our fathers will be blood beneath the water and in time we will sing, child aloud all of the melodies we dream in any color that we deem could it be as it seems? do you believe in love? do you believe in time that we will all come back together? and we will hold the line? do you believe in love? do you believe inside that we will all come back together in time? in time we'll have our way, child drain the well of water spend the pennies on your dress and in time we'll run away, child into the arms of everyone we left when we were running from ourselves would it help if i yell? do you believe in love? do you believe in time that we will all come back together? that we will hold the line? do you believe in love? do you believe inside that we will all come back together in time? there's a knock at the door baby, is anybody listening? then we'll empty our lungs baby, as we sing out do you believe in love? do you believe in time that we will all come back together? that we will hold the line? do you believe in love? do you believe inside that we will all come back together in time? we will all come back together in time

Baraboo 03:49
BARABOO come beside me brother while i tell you a story we never did a thing we didn't do the day before we dance among the ashes of our fallen angels and sleep beside the fire without the fear of burning away oh yes we did in old baraboo where we relived our youth in old baraboo in baraboo we smashed up all the clocks on the rocks by the lake that we found there we swam across the devil's breast and back again, yeah we named our willow humphrey and we climbed beneath his boughs we tied a plank of wood to him oh yes we did oh and i'm going back to old baraboo where we relived our youth in old baraboo oh, in baraboo it belongs to you and me in old baraboo in old baraboo la la la la oh and we're going back to old baraboo where we relived our youth in old baraboo oh, in baraboo it belongs to you and me in old baraboo in old baraboo in baraboo

I Don't Mind 03:09
I DONT MIND if i had a million dollars tell you what i'd buy a million cups of coffee tip the waitress as she walks on by tell a million stories embellished i admit but there's no damage in the details it's the ignorance we sip in all its bliss and all this cold has chilled me to the bone but i'd rather bundle up than have to face that shit alone i don't mind livin in a bubble baby long as i got you there ain't nothin we can't do i don't mind livin in a bubble baby knowin we got nothin and it's just enough to get us through well i've met a lot of people and i've heard a lot of lies about promised lands and perfect hands and livin for the night but the sun goes down about anywhere and i'm happy in the dark in the rain out on the shoulder in an old havana car i don't mind livin in a bubble baby long as i got you there ain't nothin we can't do i don't mind livin in a bubble baby knowin we got nothin and it's just enough to get us through we could open wide the skin upon our eyes as we begin to focus baby and we could learn to find a love that lies inside i don't mind livin in a bubble baby long as i got you there ain't nothin we can't do i don't mind livin in a bubble baby knowin we got nothin and it's just enough to get us through

Seeds 03:24
SEEDS before i found out you had poison in your teeth i was the charmer, you were dancing to the beat that i would play dizzying array before you took for granted every word i wrote i payed you for a visit, grabbed you by the coat we stumbled down evening on the ground and they were telling me don't plant your seeds so close together they will all die off in stormy weather if you plant your seeds so close together they will drown you gotta plant em in the sound before i found a reason to up and leave for good i spent the growing season wasted where i wouldn't be remembered then i remembered that they were telling me don't plant your seeds so close together they will all die off in stormy weather if you plant your seeds so close together they will drown and they were tellin me don't plant your seeds so close together they will all burn up in fiery weather when the lightning strikes and it all comes crashing to the ground you gotta plant em in the sound
