Queen of Hearts
02:48

|
I packed my things
I ran away
They slept all night
And smiled all day
But the clouds don't provide enough cover
These days
And no matter how hard I try to hold them
They never stay
This is the hand I was dealt
Now I'm playing cards all by myself
Tried to play a queen of hearts
But the king keeps tearing her apart
That's just how the game is played
We sleep in beds that were made
By them by us from the start
Now I'm staying awake in the dark
I push too hard
I write the play
I dream the lines
I never say
But the suns too bright for the way I'm feeling
These days
And it lets me take the light I'm needing
But I'm still gray
This is the hand I was dealt
Now I'm playing cards all by myself
Tried to play a queen of hearts
But the king keeps tearing her apart
That's just how the game is played
We sleep in beds that were made
By them by us from the start
Now I'm staying awake in the dark
I've learned my lessons but I keep making mistakes
I've earned these blessings but it's too much to take
This is the hand I was dealt
Now I'm playing cards all by myself
Tried to play a queen of hearts
But the king keeps tearing her apart
That's just how the game is played
We sleep in beds that were made
By them by us from the start
Now I'm staying awake in the dark

Outside These Walls
02:42
|
|||
|
I'm standing at a crossroad
To the right, there's a sign saying don't go
To the left, everything's in the shadows
So I turn around
How was I supposed to know
Small decisions blocked the Windows
And the doors are all nailed closed
So I just sit down
And there are voices outside these walls
And there are places besides these halls
But I take two steps and then I fall
And I can't go on like that
I know you'll probably say no
Or maybe just let the wind blow
But I know that I can't go
If I don't even try
I just need a reaction
For a moment to happen
So I can stop feeling
Like I'm all alone
And there are voices outside these walls
And there are places besides these halls
But I take two steps and then I fall
And I can't go on like that
And there are voices outside these walls
And there are places besides these halls
But I take two steps and then I fall
And I can't go on like that

Let Me In
02:53
|

|
I picked up the phone
For the first time today
I'm too foolish now to ask why you went away
You sang me sweet lies,
Fell to me like rain
I'm too foolish now to ask how you spend your days
Sometimes I stumble and fall
Sometimes I don't complete the call
But I will carry on
In the deep seas, that's where I find myself dreaming
And in the hot days, that's where I find myself screaming
Please just let me in
I knock on your door
Then the walls go up
I'm too foolish now to ask how the doors unlock
I tear through the streets
Get tangled in your sheets
I'm too foolish now to ask what I should believe
Sometimes I put all my weight on the broken foot
Sometimes I wish I could find your heart
And give it back to you
In the deep seas, that's where I find myself dreaming
And in the hot days, that's where I find myself screaming
Please just let me in
In the deep seas, that's where I find myself dreaming
And in the hot days, that's where I find myself screaming
Please just let me in

Storage Locker
03:14
|

|
It was a dark day
I remember how it felt
Watched you walk away
Taking a part of myself
Left the rest standing there
Not sure of what to do
But then again you never really thought
Of anything but you
And now I see everything more clearly than its ever been
And in song know much of anything
But I think I finally know what I'm doing
So here's the box marked Tragedy
Heres the last of the promises you gave to me
I refuse to carry it around again
No more storage lockers in every relationship
You wanted it all well you can have it
I'll take the loss cause I can stand it
So here's the box marked Tragedy
From now on Baby, I'm finally free
It was a long night
I remember everything
Swore it was alright
While chain-smoking away your taste
Knocked me down for a while
I was chasing drinks instead of dreams
But I guess sometimes things are exactly how they seem
And then I saw everything more clearly than its ever been
I still don't know much of anything
But that's better than sitting alone guessing
So here's the box marked Tragedy
Heres the last of the promises you gave to me
I refuse to carry it around again
No more storage lockers in every relationship
You wanted it all well you can have it
I'll take the loss cause I can stand it
So here's the box marked Tragedy
From now on Baby, I'm finally free
So here's your box marked Tragedy
Heres the last of the promises you gave to me
I refuse to carry it around again
No more storage lockers in every relationship
You wanted it all well you can have it
I'll take the loss cause I can stand it
So here's the box marked Tragedy
From now on Baby, I'm finally free

Hanging On
02:57
|

|
I try not to think
About how you're doing now
I've got it all figured out
But memories have such a way of bringing me down
But I'm still waking up
Still breathing when it gets tough
I guess a part of me hopes you finally learned to love
And I hope for your sake that heaven is real
And I hope that you know just how you made me feel
I try not to look back cause I'm scared to see you there
Asking me not to go
Guess we'rehanging on to a prayer
I put you away
In the back of my minds spare room
Closed the door and climbed on the roof
But I never could out climb the truth
And I'm just sitting here
Watching stars and filled with fear
That the skies will fall and we'll all disappear
I hope for your sake that heaven is real
And I hope that you know just how you made me feel
I try not to look back cause I'm scared to see you there
Asking me not to go, hanging on to a prayer

The Isle
03:14

The docks are empty
For the first time in a while
The ship's kept sinking
Now I'm stranded in the isle
It's not confusing
It's not really that bad
But I'm still abusing
Things I never knew I had
I got so far
And then I came crawling back
I lost so much
And the day turned into black
Oh oh oh
When will my ship come in
Oh oh oh
Oh dear is better learn how to swim
The docks are empty
For the first time in a while
I saw the last of them leaving
With a suitcase and a smile
I don't blame them
I'm not sure why I stayed
I guess I'm hoping
I can make it anyway
I got so far
And then I came crawling back
I lost so much
And the day turned into black
Oh oh oh
When will my ship come in
Oh oh oh
Oh dear is better learn how to swim
The crows keep flying in circles round my head
Seems I always smile when I'd rather be dead
It's the last of the rooms I can hide myself in
The last of the rooms I can hide
The sirens sing and they're calling me out
It's a long way up, but a fast ride down
It's the last of the strength to hold my ground
And I'm not someone I want around
I got so far
And then I came crawling back
I lost so much
And the day turned into black
Oh oh oh
When will my ship come in
Oh oh oh
Oh dear is better learn how to swim
