Paper Mâché Houses

Paper mache houses
build them up with nothing else
tell me what the sound is
Telephone keeps ringing out
heard them in the next ro
om
don't know whose side was wrong
I really hope it stops soon
Or someone turn the TV on
Talking to your best friend
Never knew your middle name
Stay until the show ends
Or at least until the latest train
Held the bottle like a baby
Protect it till we got
back home
Drank upon the rooftops
And wonder where the city's gone
CHORUS
Wake up wake up wake up
Why don't you take a little time to breathe it in
Don't try to tame the sun but you could try to feel it on your skin
Could of let the whole world just hold
me back
I'm steady making choices from the life I had
Can't we just talk about it
I know that we can work this out
Talk around in circles
Speak until we both get tired
Look up at the street lights
And wonder how the world is wired
Pressure makes me slee
py
Avoid the stuff at every cost
Wind up at the same spot
And relish in the time we lost
Chorus x2

Comin' Down
03:22

Baby lives for the weekend
Really hope she finds it
Someone get my lipstick
We can leave in a minute
I don't got time to make plans for you
mama
Leave you right where you stand
Make sure the money's still in your pocket
What's that in your hand
CHORUS
I feel alright when I'm coming down
Still stuck inside this one horse town
My feet are sunk into the ground
I feel alright when I'm coming
Ain’t got money for the ride home
Really hope he finds some
Drink until we fall out
Baby why’s my face numb
I don't got enough to make it through this winter
Ship myself back home
Don't know if I can make it through this mama
Make it on my own
Chorus x2

Two Moons
04:01
|
|||
Oh look at me
Show me your hands and maybe I can get to know you better
Talking is cheap
I bet you say nothing and they all think you’re real clever
Everything comes back in waves and the beauty it was
frightening
Permanent smile
We sat for a while and it struck us both like lightning
CHORUS
Two moons desert stars and eyes
I was lost there I was hypnotized
I thought that nobody could see all of the things that I see
But she grabbed me by the hand
She s
tarted looking at me
When we were young
I bet we were better than we ever could remember
Probably more fun
Digging up worms with all our dreams of getting bigger
With air in our lungs
We talked about stars and how they’re dead before they got here
Someth
ing that was gone for forever but it still shines so clear
CHORUS
Two moons desert stars and eyes
I was lost there I was hypnotized
I thought that nobody could see all of the things that I see
But she grabbed me by the hand
She started looking at me
We’l
l don’t blink end up missing your life
Some are faster than the others so it’s best not to try
Well cut your losses I can tell when I’m beat
Well I’d walk a million miles just to fall down at your feet
I was lost on a path
Couldn’t find what I had
I was
stuck in your head
Desert eyes looking back
X2
CHORUS
Two moons desert stars and eyes
I was lost there I was hypnotized
I thought that nobody could see all of the things that I see
But she grabbed me by the hand
She started looking at me
We’ll don’t blin
k end up missing your life
Some are faster than the others so it’s best not to try
Well cut your losses I can tell when I’m beat
Well I’d walk a million miles just to fall down at your feet

Girls Like You
02:58
|

Are you golden?
Are you mine?
He’s not worthy
Of
all your time
Little sister
She's a liar
Said she caught me running wild
CHORUS
Turn on up your radio
You can listen to me sing
I don't need your money baby
I will sing to you for free
Always sing for free
For girls like you
Well I love you
-
You're a
mess
Were you drinking
-
Too much I guess
Your excuses
-
I forget
Surprised you haven't left me yet
I almost got it right
I never should have screamed at you that night
I almost got it right
I never did, I never did you right
CHORUS
Turn on up your radio
You can listen to me sing
I don't need your money baby
I will sing to you for free
Morning's coming quickly
Darling that's my time to leave
I don't need your money baby
I will sing to you for free
Always sing for free
For girls like you

The Real King
04:54
|
|||
Hush when the walls start to shake
Speak in some foreign language
Oh but you trust when she
weeps
She’s got that real anguish
Push from the tongue through the teeth
Chop up and give us something
You can just tell when he speaks
He’s not the second coming
We want the first one
They want the real thing
We want the first one
Taste of a real king
CHORUS
Blasphemy
Is it blasphemy
There ain’t one clean soul down here
Blasphemy
If you’re asking me
I can see that one pretty clear
The real king is here
Just cause he walks where he walks
Don’t mean that ground is sacred
I’ve seen this magic before
Certain that they all faked it
Tales from a hungrier mouth
Way more than gold and silver
Like songs that your grandmother sang
Sometimes I still hear
We want the first one
They want the real thing
We want the first one
Taste of a real king
CHORUS
x 2

Believe Whatever
03:38
|

B
elieve in me believe whatever
Don't tell nothing but the time
Everything you said was clever
Nothing more than never mind
Not much of hell inside your hellos
Nothing good about goodbye
The wind it blew the building bellowed
A song I wish that I could write
A song I wish that I could write
CHORUS
I can't believe how this ended up
Happy to be here
I can't believe how this ended up
Headstrong
-
no fear
Forgive, forget or get the hell out
Time to practice what you preach
I never once have met a sellout
No o
ne gives it up for free
This push and pull has made my hands hurt
Hard to stand up on my feet
This give and take has taken hard work
Hard for you and hard for me
Hard for you and hard for me

Scared of the Sunshine
03:48
|
|||
Maybe you're my maker
Maybe you’re my best f
riend
Waist deep in muddy water
Wash me off
-
Then take me in
Could have been my wake up call
Could have been my only one
Cried so much when you left
Love you to death when you get home
You’re mine
Cause you're mine
Cause you’re mine
You're mine
Cause yo
u’re mine
Cause you’re mine
CHORUS
Maybe you love me
Maybe you don't
I'm just here holding on
Maybe you love me
Maybe you don't
I'm just here holding on
Still scared of the sunshine
Still worried about it coming up
Big world outside my gate
And every d
ay you lock it up
Oh darlin’ I need you
Like the air I'm breathing up
I wanna tell you that I miss you
Need you and then some o
Only one that I trust
Only one that trusts me
You know that I won't Bite
Even though I might show my teeth
Quit pulling on my st
rings
Baby can't we just walk along
Let's just enjoy this place
Happy you had me for so long
Chorus X2

In The Flowers
03:19
|
|||
Moonlight midnight
Haunts us like ghosts
Consume this room
Masquerade as the host
Distrust messed up like
Crashed cars off the coast
Come back all wet and
Clinging to hope
CHORUS
We can make this last forever
Come help us if you can
Happ
iness ain’t hard to capture
Just don’t let go again
Hallways this place
All smell like smoke
Choked up
Words stuck
Inside my throat
They said his head is cluttered and broke
Shifting and risky like
Storms when their close
Chorus x 3

Fool's Gold
02:55
|
|||
Fools gold in the garden
Tend to me now
Lost words, hardened
Turn to stones in my mouth
Desperate moments
Lost in the crowd
Life spent wishin' I was there with you now
I could wait all night for you
But I just don't know what it's worth
I could wait all night for you
I'll bring you back down to earth
Child's play, someday
You can grow up and go
Out late always
Some things I'll never know
Pity you missed me
When I came through your town
Time moves so slow
Hate when you're not around
I could wait all night for you
But I just don't know what it's worth
I could wait all night for you
I'll bring you back down to earth
I could wait all night for you
But I just don't know what it's worth
I could wait all night for you
I'll bring you back down to earth

Too Much Light
04:00
|
|||
Show us a town and lay waste to it
Show him exactly what patience meant
Don't mind the distance don't mind the cost
Just tell the driver to drop us off
Never quite knew what you'd become
Grow up soft and toughen up
Grandma said you are heaven sent
Then ask you if you knew what heaven meant
I wanna change this body
I wanna paint my face up
Wish I could stand up for you
But I'm not that tough
CHORUS
All I have I have because you
Too much light for this whole world to lose
Bless yourself that's all
that you can do
All I have I have because of you
Always watching what you say
Look around make sure it's safe
Never quite have been yourself
Always felt like someone else
It gets better every day
Grow up fast and move away
Wish I was there so I could hel
p
Cause I couldn't do that by myself
I wanna change this body
I wanna paint my face up
Wish I could stand up for you
But I'm not that tough
CHORUS
All I have I have because of you
Too much light for this whole world to lose
Bless yourself that's all you
can do
All I have I have because of you
