Watching, waiting for evidence
There's nothing latent to lament
Captivated every day
By love that lasts for decades
So how about ten more
Let's remember what we're counting for
Take my hand, love, and say the word
How about ten more
If we don't remember, why are we counting
Twisting, turning in my skin
When I think about where we have been
Laughing, learning how to say
The right amount the right way
So how about ten more
Let's remember what we're counting for
Take my hand, love, and say the word
How about ten more
If we don't remember, why are we counting
I can't look back, I won't let go
We've flown so high and fell so low
Now don't look down, it's time we soar
So how about ten more
Let's remember what we're counting for
Take my hand, love, and say the word
Let's remember what we're counting for
Take my hand, love, and say the word
How about ten more
If we don't remember, why are we counting
Watching, waiting for evidence
There's nothing latent to lament
Captivated every day
By love that lasts for decades

When you gonna back down
When you gonna come 'round
Stop cutting me off
Sop leaving me out
Out in the cold fog
Say I'm your watch dog
But it ain't much to watch
Being a junkyard dog
Lord knows it ain't easy to please ya
When you gonna be mine
When you gonna quit whinin'
Like I couldn't hear you
The first time
Down to the last dime
Maybe it's the last time
I keep my mouth shut 'stead of
Giving you a piece of my mind
Lord knows it ain't easy to please ya
It only takes one strand to fray
For you to come unwound
But girl, you got me roped in
Tied up, my hand are bound
Say you never need me
Say you never believed
In spending no time with a man
Not worth his salt
Worth more than you think
Worth more than one drink
Then blowing me off to chase
After your grander indulgences
Lord knows it ain't easy to please ya
It only takes the sparkle of another precious stone
For you to try new ground
But girl, you got me stuck between a rock and a hard place
So I'll stick around
And wait
I've been waiting on you
For days
Spend my days feeling blue
But my nights I still spend feeling you
Lord knows it ain't easy to please ya
It only takes one strand to fray
For you to come unwound
But girl, you got me roped in
Tied up, my hand are bound
Wait
I've been waiting on you
Days
Spend my days feeling blue
But my nights I still spend feeling you
Baby by night I still know what to do

When Our House Burned
03:04

When our house burned we never saw the fire
As we traveled, the flames climbed
Now my heart feels like its insides
Bare bones, scorched and dry
But it's over and we're alive
Struggling to feel alright
And I'm angry and I'm tired
But it's over, now can we survive
When our house burned I was too shocked to cry
As I drove there
Now we know our neighbors and our future's bright
But my heart feels like coal tonight
But it's over and we're alive
Struggling to feel alright
And I'm angry and I'm tired
But it's over, now can we survive
Now I meet with my best friends every week
They listen close and say "Hi, Nick" before I speak
'Cause I'm angry and I'm tired
But it's over and we're alive
Struggling to feel alright
And I'm angry and I'm tired
But it's over and we're alive
Struggling to feel alright
And I'm angry and I'm tired
But it's over, now can we survive

We've Woken

I was born at night
Laid into my mother's arms
I've been told that I wore her down
Things to come
A mother knows what's true
A father sees his view
I was old when I understood
I was born inside a holy family
Righteous and decent
So I controlled the lies
A brother knows the sting
Of even listening
Not broken
Just shaken
I love you
We've woken
We'll make it
I love you
I was born and died
Mended in my lover's arms
I've been told that I am not so kind
A lover hopes and prays
But ego makes its way
I was old when I came clean
Not broken
Just shaken
I love you
We've woken
We'll make it
I love you
To every hindrance break
Does all the difference make
Not broken
Just shaken
I love you
We've woken
We'll make it
I love you

Truth in the Way
03:56

So it's come to my attention
That despite my apprehension
And my swollen heart's distension
Under pressures to allay
The root of my profession
Has been rotting with repression
But there's comfort in confession
I no longer pray
Truth in the way
When my father draws a pension
And my family by extension
And I shouldn't even mention
What I think of them today
I will grant them one concession
I'm the one with the obsession
No I can't abide regression
And my heart betray
Truth in the way
No more
No more
I can't lean on intuition
'Cause I'm prone to admonition
And my mind's in no position
To my unending dismay
To be the one asserting
Who is right and who is hurting
And I know it's disconcerting
When I detonate
Truth in the way
No more
No more
Done away with inhibition
We co-author this edition
And it's coming to fruition
As they pirouette and play
You smile when I'm flirting
And we know tonight is certain
You turn to draw the curtain
And we're underway
Oh, more
More and more

Sidelong
03:53
|
|

We're not the life of the party
We bring the apples and cheese
I find the arm of a sofa
You'd rather stay on your feet
And wander back to a kitchen
To wash a wine glass or two
And I still smile at you
Share with me a lover's glance
Given sidelong
Whisper 'til the moment comes
We like to watch other people
When we have nowhere to be
I find it hard to be tactful
But you do it naturally
Sometimes it's hard seeing family
When all we want is to leave
But you still smile at me
Share with me a lover's glance
Given sidelong
Whisper 'til the moment comes
You never ask for attention
I ask for everything
You perform for a classroom
And I perform for a fee
If we met now for the first time
I think we'd still be in sync
And you'd still smile at me
Share with me a lover's glance
Given sidelong
Whisper 'til the moment
Come with me
Wake up, wake up, and I'm bound to be
Reaching out to find you next to me
And I'll lay here waiting patiently
Until you smile at me
