Can't Raise the Masts

I wish I could say that I were the captain of my soul but I'm not,
I can't raise the masts.
I'm lost in an ocean as deep as my mask,
'Cause I don't know what the price of love is,
Yeah I don't know what it's worth,
But to be broke, to be broke, to be broke, to be broke, to be broke,
It's gotta be worth something.
Three thousand miles and nothing would change,
Unless a roof were over my head that I created myself,
Bookish and laddish, hopeless and fearless,
Three little words they get stuck in my brain,
Taking me places that I don't go easily.
'Cause I still don't know what the price of love is,
Yeah I still don't know what it's worth,
But my broken, broken, broken, broken heart,
It's gotta be worth something.
Yeah to be broke, to be broke, to be broke, to be broke, to be broke,
It's gotta be worth something.

Please Come True

I shouldn't be writing this song,
I shouldn't be hoping you'd sing along,
But I am, I am, but I am.
I shouldn't be feeling this way,
I shouldn't be feeling ok,
But I am, I am, but I am.
And it's you, it's you, that's getting me through.
Yeah it's you, please come true.
I shouldn't be thinking you care,
I shouldn't be buying nice underwear,
But I am, I am, but I am.
I shouldn't be needing you here,
I shouldn't be gripped with fear,
But I am, I am, but I am.
And it's you, it's you, it's all about you.
Yeah it's you, please come true,
There's nothing I wouldn't do,
To have you.
Should I be writing this song?
I shouldn't be, or have I got it all wrong?
We'll see what we can be,
We'll see.
'Till then it's you, it's you, it's all about you.
Yeah it's you, please come true,
'Cause you're getting me through,
I- just tell me what to do,
Please come true,
Me and you.
'Cause you are perfect to me,
And you are all that I need,
And you are perfect to me,
And you are- please come true

Bucket of Leaves

Come on sweetness, come on honey, give me tears,
I've packed up my pictures, packed up my t-shirts but not my fears
I wanna fly away, I wanna face the day, I wanna go
I wanna fly away, I wanna chase the day, let's go
Back to my home, back to my home, back to my home,
Where it all began, where I first sang,
Made my nest in a bucket of leaves.
Come on sweetness, come on honey, help me face today,
Come on sweetness, oh or take it all away,
I wanna fly away, I wanna chase that day, I wanna go,
I wanna fly away, high today, let's go
Back to my home,
Where it all began, where I first sang,
Made my nest in a bucket of leaves.
Hold it, hold it all of my pain,
Hold it, hold it all of my pain,
And take me back someday,
Take me back someway
to where it all began.
Take me back someday
Take me back someway to where it all began
and press my feet through the sand.

Be OK
04:32

Hey there stranger, no I really don't care anymore
That you ran away with that cheap, plastic -
Okay, so maybe a little but what do you expect,
Until you begin to pay back all that debt,
'Cause it's just not that easy looking you in the eye,
When my heart was shattered and it felt like I might die,
One foot in front of the other, and we're making progress, making progress,
One foot in front of the other, it'll all be ok,
One foot in front of the other, and we're making progress, hear me, making progress,
One foot in front of the other, it'll all be ok, be ok.
I won't begin to forget the laughs,
But neither will I when you met her in that caff,
I could pretend that it is all alright,
You know as well as I how I just hate to fight,
I still care that that smile's not for me,
I still care, feels like that's the way it'll always be,
One foot in front of the other, and we're making progress, making progress,
One foot in front of the other, it will all be ok,
One foot in front of the other, there we're making progress, hear me, making progress,
One foot in front of the other, it'll all be ok, be ok.
It still hurts when I see you both in town,
It still hurts, somehow I still want you around, but
One foot in front of the other, then we're making progress, yeah we're making progress,
One foot in front of the other, it'll all be ok,
One foot in front of the other, we're making progress, hear me, making progress,
One foot in front of the other, it'll all be ok, be ok.
It'll all be ok, be ok, all be ok.

Comet
02:50

I'm not failing, I'm just waiting, after something so beautiful,
I'm not wasting, I'm not fading, I'm just trailing after something so beautiful,
But you don't see the light that escapes from my eyes, burning bright like a comet,
You don't see the light that escapes from my eyes, burning up bright like a comet.
I'm not faking, I do care,
But I'm not waking every day with a glazed stare,
Still you don't see the light that escapes from my eyes, burning bright like a comet,
You don't see the light that escapes from my eyes, burning up bright like a comet.
I'm not wasting, I'm just spending some time with my energies,
Making sure my heart's in the right place.

Men

I'm getting sick, I'm getting sick,
I'm getting sick of all your shit, I'm getting sick
Just go, just go,
Just go and blow your load over a face that's prettier than mine,
This life, this life,
This life was getting easier, gotta hold on strong,
'Cause this time, this time,
This time it's gonna stay easier,
I'm gonna hold on strong.
Can't stand, Can't stand,
'Can't stand the way you make me feel, I can't stand
Just- just mean,
I just mean that you're a dick, just mean
This life, this life,
This life was getting easier, gotta hold on strong,
This time, this time,
This time I'm gonna stay strong
I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna hear,
I don't wanna hear from you for a lifetime or two,
I don't wanna hear.
Hello, hello,
Hello self-sympathy, hello
This life, this life,
This life was getting easier, I've gotta hold on strong,
And this time, and this time,
And this time, gonna stay strong.

Another Example
03:19
|
|||
|
You were just another example of pain in my heart
And if I'd loved you you might not have torn me apart,
This is just another example of fault on my behalf
'Cause if I told you would we still be apart
This is not what I wanted, this is not what I wanted for myself
This is not what I wanted, this is not what I wanted for myself
You were just another example of doubt in my heart
'Cause if I'd let you go, if I'd let you know, would we still be apart,
This is just another way of saying should I regret,
and if I really knew you honey would that be a safe bet.
You were just another example yeah,
You were just another example yeah.
This is not what I wanted, this is not what I wanted for myself
This is not what I wanted, this is not what I wanted for myself
This is not what I wanted, this is not what I wanted for myself
This is not what I wanted, this is not what I wanted for myself
