Coney Island 02:43
I found a letter in the mailbox today and I said thank you for your thoughts but I'm done I said that I would never build this up right here And he said that's why I can't work with you son But I can't let this go I'm on my way And you can only hold my diamond ring I go crawling back to the city I love Cause it's already taken everything I'm going to Coney Island , have myself a dog and reminisce why I still hate it here It's all these people with their cotton candy eyes It's so sweet now put the train in gear Chorus The ground is swallowing my options for release and if it rains they might just disappear I counted twenty seven birds up there today I'm thinking that's why I still love it here I'm thinking that's why I still love it here

Looking out my front door in the morning I see the light afternoon I'm in the backyard passing the time and when I've said good-bye to sunshine I call on some of my friends, "see you soon, under the moonlight" something's moving outside of my house in the night It could be the whistle of the breeze or some wild life but we are alright drinking our tea tucked in the bed sheets I'll dream in melody how about you? what will you do? oh maybe mother and father still see the light and when they can't sit in the sunshine they call on each other "see you soon, under the moonlight"

Oh fall, I am marching across the ocean I won't fall, the ice is evaporating still I'm just looking for shelter You're just holding my hand if I hold you You don't have to belong here We'll just know when it's right We'll just know when it's right Oh girl, you're already a picture of my will You're my girl, can't we try to be here just for a while? Break the ocean in two and I'l know what to do Bring me closer to you and I'll know what to do

Weak Man 04:06
Let the music breathe upon my face every step of the way through the anguish I'll make like the rest I made I'm seeing you as clear and blue like lovers do and you should too I'm not playing a game with you to show that I can get ahead just like any weak man would do when he's losing If life's confusing way to bring you down has got you pissing yourself while you're thinking out loud try and figure out the best approach to being true like lovers do and you should too Chorus you can't just give it all away this is all we have saved there is nothing here between us this not what we had planned there is so much more we got nothing without each other we got nothing

In dreams our love has been redrawn it shoots up over me then the image is gone when i try to follow you all the way home you stop to tell me you want to be alone there's nothing you can hide alright? ... and if I'm not for you then, I will know there is nothing I can do I'm not for you well there's no sense in staying you try and force these things they end up breaking how you gonna live with me on your back oh it's getting close it's getting close to that there's nothing you can hide alright? ...and if I'm not for you then, I will know when I'm talking to you and if doubt is breaking through your brows, I will know there's nothing I can do I'm not for you

I thought I'd learned to behave but I don't feel I'm acting my age once in a while and though things may not be the same you have helped me feel no pain all of my life I wanted to say to you we've come a long, long way there's so much to say still have a long, long way you've seen me at my worst and I've seen you in the reverse we are equals no matter what happens from here no matter where life ends my dear I will be grateful I wanted to say to you we've come a long, long way there's so much to say we've come a long, long way I thought I'd learned to behave but I don't feel I'm acting my age once in a while and no matter what happens from here no matter where life ends my dear I will be grateful I wanted to say to you we've come a long, long way there's so much to say we've come a long, long way

No Time 02:23
There's no reason to be spending all my money on you when you don't even want to talk I just don't get I want to be around, you know, but you're making it too hard I get no time with you honey you're always busy I give all of mine to you honey but you're always busy I come home from work and you haven't gotten out of bed yet you just don't get it I want to be around you know but you're making it too hard chorus I want to be around you know but you're making it too hard I get no time with you honey you're always busy I give all of mine to you honey but you're watching tv I give all my time to you honey I give all of mine to your honey but you've got no time for me
8.
You're gone, so I worry about nothing else Your eyse destroy me every time I think I'll go as far as I can get to still stay close To see you if you've changed I'm the same That's what's wrong I've said I've got to just get on with this You are the only thing I think about But I left, as far as I can get to still stay close Come and see, there's nothing going on There's nothing going on with me

Maybe Mine 02:19
I've been chasing you around when I go up you're down I'm tired of fooling around hope your life is better now you want to run from and I can't give up on all of my dreams hope they don't leave me to how long will it take? I already said "I do." I liked myself with you but you think it's worthless for whatever reasons all of my friends hope they don't leave me too how long will it take? for you I have been here and you've done what you want call if you want to hide when you don't i don't care all of your dreams hope they don't leave you too and when no one else sees I see only you how long will it take?

Tell Me 02:27
There's a hole in the story there is something that I haven't seen and for now... you want to keep it to yourself but if you're lonely tell me I know the way you look when you don't want to say what you're thinking your eyes start to roll when you're holding back I used to blame myself but there must be other serious reasons why the devil is in your voice when you start to laugh There's a hole in the story there is something that I haven't seen and for now you want to keep it to yourself If you're lonely tell me I have tried and tried but I still cannot find any good sleep did you think that i would go on not noticing your attentions all too sweet but you don't want to listen to me? would you rather us complete this misery there's a hole in the story there is something that i haven't seen and for now you want to keep it to yourself if you're lonely tell me
11.
Window 02:51
I'm so like a window in your life I stay so open Some days I'm as close as I can get When you say I love you That's right. That's right I'm gonna stay awake for you My home, my only way to be alone My home so quiet That noise is like a thousand flying birds It's so loud I'm shut down I tried so hard I wanted nothing Some time to think Some time alone There's nothing wrong with being so quiet There's nothing wrong You're never frightened
12.
I never want to leave when I do every time I leave you cry so stay by my side oh baby you should know i trust you and baby you should know I'll miss you but every time you leave I cry stay by my side just because I've gone away doesn't mean I'll be gone forever there's a point in our love from across the world I never want to leave when I do (don't walk away) I never want to leave when I do (stay with me) every time I leave you cry stay by my side
