When It Gets Dark Out
So, when it feels good and you can fall asleep
And when the words come and pouring through your teeth
And all I need is a couple of people beside me
And all I see it's a big old world out there, are you coming with me?
Yeah outside them walls been watching us move
Yeah outside them branches, got 'em moving too

Cuz we don't know how sure we are doing
And we're going down, yeah, we going soon

Riverman
Though I thought about it once or twice
No, I guess it was more like all the time
Couple oceans, a couple miles
Wondering town, brick roads and hill signs
While them guns were going off
When your love is not enough
Where them pages write themselves
A couple of stories I'll never tell
So, welcome to your pregnant life
And welcome to this city
That's crawling with life and them devil eyes
What's it feel like?
When your pulse runs dry
When your mouth grows quiet
Paint your lips all black
You got a little wicked in your eye
Back when you were on your own
In a tiny place outside Chicago
Tell me when you're feeling low
You would wonder downhill sides and brick roads
While them guns were going off
Feel my love is not enough
While them pages write themselves
A couple of stories I'll never tell
So welcome to your pregnant life
Welcome to this city
That's crawling with lovely devil eyes
What's it feel like
When your pulse runs dry
When your mouth grows quiet
Paint your lips all black
You got a little wicked in your eye
Folks they living peacefully
River man nods his cap at me
Fucked up smiling ear to ear
Blood on your feet, holding your heals
Even black and white
Yelling something about tonight
Cuz everything was short lived
If only you could stay still
So welcome to your pregnant life
And welcome to this city
That's crawling with lovely devil eyes
Tell me what it feels like
When your pulse runs dry
When your mouth grows quiet
Paint your lips all black
You got a little wicked in your eye

Late Nights
Well a couple late nights
Hey, a couple foreign films
And I saw that glitter on your eyes still
By the color spilled from the black and white
I was thinking, feeling pretty good tonight
I don't want to keep your heartache
And I don't want to feel your ghost
And I don't even know where we will go
Yeah, I'm just trying to make it home
I watched the trains on the coast, they're moving me
I washed your hands like the wind blowing the breeze
I saw the sky open up your blue and grey
I saw that, I saw that night life running through your veins
(running through your veins)
Well, October, hey, a couple festivals
All I'm saying is tell me what you want to do
Still your head tied up in all the darkest hours
And I told you I'm feeling real good about it
I don't want to keep your heartache
And I don't want to feel your ghost
And I don't even know where we will go
Yeah, I'm just trying to make it home
I watched the trains on the coast, they're moving me
I washed your hands like the wind blowing the breeze
I saw the sky open up your blue and grey
I saw that, I saw that night life running through your veins
Yeah, all the better kinds of weird
And she likes her liquor clear
I'm still not sure what I'm doing here
But paper love, don't hold back
Pour it on thick, darling don't hold back
Whenever you come around and my teeth come out
Tell me what you're feeling real good about
(feeling real good about)
I watched the trains on the coast, they're moving me
I washed your hands like the wind blowing the breeze
I saw the sky open up your blue and grey
I saw that, I saw that night life running through your veins
I saw that night life running through your veins
***********************************************
Paint My Mind
Well you told me all you do is for good
Say I hope you find something that is gone
And if you lose your way out there a few times
Yeah you should be alright, you'll be fine
So pour out that poison inside your head
And paint out them colors and watch them blend
Cuz they're saying (saying)
Saying, they're saying where are you running to
And who are you running there with
So paint my mind and paint my soul
And point your little mouth till you see my ghost
So pour it out, watch the sky
Run your little mouth darling I do mind
You told me all you do if you could
Said I hope you find something that you should
So pour it out them, so pour out that poison inside your head
And paint out them colors and watch them blend
Cuz they're saying (saying)
Saying, they're saying where are you running to
And who are you running there with
So paint my mind and paint my soul
And point your little mouth till you see my ghost
So pour it out, watch the sky
Run your little mouth darling I do mind
When I'm feeling good and I could fall asleep
That's why your seeing,
Seeing all these guards in the sides and streets
So tell me where you should be
And paint your mind (paint my mind)
Embrace your soul (paint my soul)
And run your little mouth until you see my ghost
Pour it out (pour it out)
And watch the sky (watch the sky)
And run your little mouth darling, I do mind
When I'm feeling good, I could fall asleep
That's why your seeing,
Seeing all these guards in the sides and streets
So tell me where you should be

The Sound In Your Dreams
Are you traveling alone trying to figure out what you lack?
Are you keeping it all stored in a place inside your mind?
Cuz she like that uptown beat side
Run and feel it in my toes
Yeah, she likes that late night
Feel night want to give them all a show
But I've been, I've been thinking
And bad news never found your make up where you're waking up
And the places that you run for days and you speak enough
Sounds in your dream love, sounds in your dream love
You stared at your lips and smiled at me and said
Tonight we're going to celebrate going out of bed
Cuz she wants that uptown beat side gotta feel it in the soul
She want that whole night run wild anywhere you want to go
But I've been thinking
And bad news, never found your makeup where you're waking up
And the places that you run for days and you're speaking of
Sounds in your dream love, sounds in your dream love
Tell me all the worst things you've done
And tell me what you do, what you hate, what you love
And then tell me what you hope to never know
And then tell me what you do, what you hate, what you love
What you, what you dreaming of?
And bad news, never found your makeup where you're waking up
And the places that you run for days and you're speaking of
Sounds in your dream love, sounds in your dream love
Tell me what you hope to never know
And that tell me what you do, what you hate, what you love
What you, what you dreaming of?

Past Life
We're barely to downtown
It's alright, it's alright
Yet I met you in a past life
But it's your word against mine
While you listen to it all at night
While you fill your lungs, stretching mine
We're two cracks in the skull
I can see the moon laying real low
So when you lay in bed
Do you smile about who you're laying with?
Are you weak in the knees?
I don't give a shit
You're coming out with me
You're better than you'll ever know
Darling, who are your friends, who are your foes?
Who are you trying to be?
It's alright, it's alright
'Cause it's in the stories and "stay with me"'s
In between the sheets
While you're here and while it's right now
Can you feel them all coming out?
We're two cracks in the skull
I can see the moon laying real low
So when you lay in bed
Do you smile about who you're laying with?
Are you weak in the knees?
I don't give a shit
You're coming out with me
You're better than you'll ever know
Darling, who are your friends, who are your foes?
Yeah I met you in a past life
Do you travel alone but you're living like
Go on, go on, well
But you're thinking about those late nights
And when you listen close, what's it sound like?
We're two cracks in the skull
I can see the moon laying real low
So when you lay in bed
Do you smile about who you're laying with?
Are you weak in the knees?
I don't give a shit
You're coming out with me
You're better than you'll ever know
Darling, who are your friends, who are your foes?

Paper Love
So paper love on my floor
And I don't care what you know
Cuz when it glows, then it glows
Paper hearts on the floor
Oh, now I'm sure you know
Cuz when it glows, then it glows
And the music bouncing around
And the windows all went down
And I feel the crowd at my feet
And a couple holes in my sleeves
A lot of music's playing in the streets
And the crowd shaking at my feet
Come on and float it up for me
A couple lights down the road
And I don't know what you know
But when it glows and it glows
A couple lights burning low
Now I know what you know
Cuz when it glows then it glows
And I feel the crowd at my feet
And a couple holes in my sleeves
A lot of music's playing in the streets
And the crowd is shaking at my feet
Come on and float it up for me
And I don't know a god damn thing
When you wanna hit the road again
Anyway, anyway, anyway, yeah
And I've got these paper knives in my flow
And you were thinking how it all should go
Get away, get away, yeah
So, so
And I feel the crowd at my feet
And a couple holes in my sleeves
A lot of music's playing in the streets
And the crowd is shaking at my feet
Come on and float it up for me
Come on and float it up for me
I don't know a god damn thing
When you wanna hit the road again?
Anyway, anyway, anyway, yeah

Coffee Drips
And how would you like to be my friend
have bare hands on my skin
well, good to meet you, yeah, good to meet you
good to meet you, where you running off to
upstairs I hear her as she sings
she's never sure if I'm gonna leave
in between notes and how she breathes
I heard her laughing 'cause she's singing off key
while the coffee drips
taste some blood on my lips
and outside it's frozen stiff
don't have any plans to leave yet
watch the trees and the wind fly
watched a feather just fly
and outside it's frozen stiff
and I don't have any plans to leave yet
so you want to live on the countryside
bar through the windows, open wide
you want to feel a little fire light
maybe where the land and the sea collide
where the land and the sea collide
where the land and the sea
while the coffee drips
taste some blood on my lips
and outside it's frozen stiff
don't have any plans to leave yet
watch the trees and the wind fly
watched a feather just fly
and outside it's frozen stiff
and I don't have any plans to leave yet
***********************************************
Watching The Lights
So while I'm wide awake, wide awake
While I got you here, cuz we come and go
Yeah, if I had to say it, had to say it, had to say it right now
I don't know
Wearing some black sunglasses and your mouth was full
Saw you almost fall while we were by the shore
I started laughing at your wide eyes
But you're living girl, you're living alright
Watching the lights move across the water
Watching it all spin a little slower
Oh, and then the rain came, found some cover
I don't even know her
While we try and talk, try and talk, try and talk it out
Yeah I like your face
While the ships moved away, moved away from the harbor
Never caught your name
It looks like in my tracks, storm again
If it does, might have a glass or two
Just depends cuz
Still I was laughing at your wide eyes
But you're living girl, you're living alright
Watching the lights move across the water
Watching it all spin a little slower
Oh, and then the rain came, found some cover
I don't even know her
I don't even know her
So can you feel it in the wind at your back
And the sun upon your face my friend
Can you hear me in the words in my stumbles
Yeah, tell me how it goes again
And then I'll tell you
I'll be keeping close to the riverside
I've been watching all these songs collide
I heard them late nights, yeah they sound like
Watching the lights move across the water
Watching it all spin a little slower
Oh, and then the rain came, found some cover
I don't even know her
I don't even know her
***********************************************
Follow Me Down
Wearing all your best clothes
Up until the sun rose
Laying in the backyard
Just picking up the dead stars
Go ahead and tell them all the world
Never change this
You're the living proof, yeah, it's dangerous
Snow covered streets
So, where you really wanna be
Come on follow me down
Yeah, while you move your mouth around
Follow me down
You said, be the one they talk about
Staring at a crack in the window by your bed
Stumble over your words in bed
Tell me where we're going
In the back room
So I... I follow her down
Color lights and red coats
I've been keeping real low
Try to make it all seem just a little less hazy
So, tell them all the world, never change this
You're the living proof, yeah it's dangerous
Snow covered streets, where you wanna really be
Come on follow me down
Yeah, while you move your mouth around
Follow me down
You said be the one they talk about
Staring at a crack in the window by your bed
Stumble over your words in bed
Tell me where we're going, where the bad win
So I... I follow her down
I don't want to put it all on display
And if it doesn't hurt, then it's all the same shit
I don't think it works that way
Said I need it in the worst way
So run wild, run wild
Run wild, run wild
Come on follow me down
Yeah, while you move your mouth around
Follow me down
You said, be the one they talk about
Staring at a crack in the window by your bed
Stumble over your words in bed
Tell me where we're going, where the bad win
So I follow her down
Follow her down

Georgia
You got a couple dollars in your pocket
It's in the clock in the morning
You remember what you're talking?
Well alright, no problem
When it goes flying on by
I remember back when I
When I had dropped you off my mind
Wouldn't let 'em go
Back when we were trying to find somewhere
We could rest our bones
Back when I was seeing no hope
Yeah, I've been laying low
Whatever kept me up those nights, I'll never know
Yeah, it's how it goes
I don't want no stories
Coming at me like you always
You've been looking kind of lonely
Well alright, I'm sorry
Moving all around in my mind
And back when I, yeah back when I
When I had dropped you off my mind
Wouldn't let 'em go
Back when we were trying to find somewhere
We could rest our bones
Back when I was seeing no hope
Yeah, I've been laying low
Whatever kept me up those nights, I'll never know
This is how it goes
(What time is it?
It's a little after six.
After six? Oh, I missed my bus again.
Oh, what's one more day?
Nothing to you.
You know, I've got a funny feeling I'm going around and around.
Maybe I'm on a merry-go-round.
Climb on down.)
When I had dropped you off my mind
Back when we were trying to find somewhere
We could rest our bones

Yeah, I've been laying low
Whatever kept me up those nights, I'll never know
This is how it goes
When I had dropped you off my mind
Wouldn't let 'em go
Back when we were trying to find somewhere
We could rest our bones
Yea, it's how it goes
