Want to get it all behind me
You know everything reminds me I can't be myself without you Want to crawl down deep inside The springs inside the mattress Where l cry my dirty secrets 'Cause I just can't shake this feeling That I'm nothing in your eyes And if I knew heartbreak was coming I would've set out running Past the city houses And the ditches on the highway Read between the seasons Under the bridges in valleys Til the winds out on the prairie Whip the tears from my eyes Want to get it all behind me You know everything reminds me I can't be myself without you Want to crawl down deep inside the springs inside the mattress where I cry my dirty secrets 'Cause I just can't shake this feeling That I'm nothing in your eyes And if I knew heartbreak was coming I would've set out running Across the muddy river And the smokestacks on the bank Swallow that horizon Hunger beyond hunger Til the cloudy blue Pacific Took the air in my lungs And if I knew heartbreak was coming I would've set out running 'Cause I just can't shake this feeling That I'm nothing in your eyes. |

Voices that did comfort me
Are furthest from my sanity And come from places I have never seen Even in my darkest recollection There was singin' my life back to me The life you learn from someone else That you can only trust yourself Sometimes that is still too much to want Gravity won't get you through the mazes You can never travel by the way you've come I could never choose the ones to love And the ones who took the credit left me reelin' But I owe much to the nameless and all those surrogates Those who're singin' my life back to me Life is not a constant thing It's only made of short stories I couldn't even tell you where I'm from Guided by the voices I've deflected Guided by electric wires' hum I could never choose the ones to love And the ones who took the credit left me reelin' But I owe much to the nameless Those who're singin' my life back to me I see you in the future, skippin' time While the eyes of all the faithful rest in peace Yet tonight I see the highway And someone singin' my life back to me |

So far away
Curses wild upon you Hungry and gaining Porchlight burns so far away Miles away Days have gone by and I've barely gone Safe on the road that speeds from your front door I can't turn around 'cause I long to be forgiven It hangs in my hair and the hems of my clothes I thought in the madness my arms could not hold I can't tell you why 'cause I long to be forgiven So far away Curses wild upon you Hungry and gaining Porchlight burns so far away Miles away I'm sorry to tread on your patience, my dear My heart might be willing by this time next year I can't make you wait 'cause I long to be forgiven So far away Curses wild upon you Hungry and gaining Porchlight burns so far away Miles away |

So many people live in my town
And mind to my business but none of their own They're all so happy now that I've done wrong I'm surprised they don't come up and thank me So if you want moral advice I suggest you just tuck it all away 'Cause my mood to burn bridges Parallels my mood to dig ditches Don't cross me on neither a day, baby Don't make mistakes or be human They savor your every false move And the fear that they hide looking for a Break If ever confronted with truth So if you want moral advice I suggest you just tuck it all away 'Cause my mood to burn bridges Parallels my mood to dig ditches Don't cross me on neither a day, baby From the well of their hearts spring the poison That mixed with suspicion and reckless derision And something they read on a church toilet stall They think that their lives are much better Than mine on the soapbox and ladders stand tall So if you want moral advice I suggest you just tuck it all away 'Cause my mood to burn bridges Parallels my mood to dig ditches Don't cross me on neither a day I see those arrows beside me I hear you right behind me Don't cross me on neither a day |

Lie in bed and ignore the TV
Watch the clouds sift through the aero And you'll be in my arms again There's no need to cry Of all the things so bittersweet You're the first thing I see in morning and in sleep And you'll be in my arms again There's no need to cry Years have been lost but can never be replaced But my thoughts are with you Tied to that interstate And you'll be in my arms tonight There's no need to cry There's no need to cry There's no need to cry |

Tenderly
Tenderly Please take my breath from me Into the fountain And up from the graves Tearfully Joyfully Burn what is left of me I don't want these burdens I've handsomely gained (?) You'll be my guest And i'll let you stay Leave me the check I'll pay with the rest of my life Twist the knife Carefully Quietly You took what's young from me I didn't deserve it I gave it away Cowardly Thoughtlessly You walk away from me And I'll tear my heart out to save you the day You'll be my guest And i'll let you stay Leave me the check I'll pay with the rest of my life Twist the knife Tenderly Tenderly Please take my breath from me Into the fountain And up from the graves |

I want to tell you about my hometown
It's a dusty old jewel in the South Puget Sound Well the factories churn and the timbers all cut down And life goes by slow in Tacoma People they laugh when they hear you're from my town They say it's a sour and used up all place I defended its honor, shrugged off the put downs You know that you're poor, from Tacoma Buildings are empty like ghettos or ghost-towns It gives me a chill to think what was inside I can't seem to fathom the dark of my history I invented my own in Tacoma There was nothing to put me in love with the good life I'm in league with the the gangs guns, and the crime There was no hollow promise that life would reward you There was nowhere to hide in Tacoma People who built it they loved it like I do There was hope in the trainyard of something inspired Once was I on it, but it's been painted shut I found passion for life in Tacoma Well I don't make it home much, I sadly neglect you But that's how you like it away from the world God bless California, make way for the Wal-Mart I hope they don't find you Tacoma |

Oh my darling, oh my darling
How can you forget? All the love we had between us Now it's like we've never met Oh it kills me, how it kills me When I think I held you up You were golden, I was blind With your poison in my blood Bittersweet are the memories That make old lovers pine But I'll trade all the memories Just to have your heart in mine Everybody's talking to me But they just can't explain Disappeared from all the pages And nothing seems the same Was a time I thought I knew you When I looked you in the eye Now the same eyes look right through me You're too cool to see me cry Bittersweet are the memories That make old lovers pine But I'll trade all the memories Just to have your heart in mine Oh my darling, oh my darling How can you forget All the love we had between us Now it's like we've never met You were golden and I was blind Now it's like we've never met |

Well it's hot in the yard
And it's cool in the bed And I whip the blankets into cotton thread And I'll tear all the carpet up over my head 'Til my feet can go right through the basement Well you play so surprised at what you have found But I heard you coming from way across town So let's get to getting to burning it down And the fire, it's spreading like madness 'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure I've snapped from my tether That the nation may vibrate apart And you lead me again to the back of the line And we'll work our way slow to the start When the dishes are broken and the kitchen's a mess I'm trapped in the door Why don't you make me confess 'Cause I'm tastin' delicious To just keep you guessin' Whatever it is, that ignites me 'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure I've snapped from my tether That the nation may vibrate apart And you lead me again to the back of the line And we'll work our way slow to the start Yes we'll work our way slow to the start When instinct is dirty and morality's clean And we're bound for damnation say those magazines Well to hell with the sorrow and watered-down scenes We'll burn us a bridge straight to heaven. 'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure I've snapped from my tether That the nation may vibrate apart And you lead me again to the back of the line And we'll work our way slow to the start Yes we'll work our way slow to the start Yes we'll work our way slow to the start |

I put on that sweater you gave me
I woke up in the kitchen a few minutes later I didn't know how I had gotten there Did you guide me I didn't make it to your funeral I didn't want ritual nor resign I just wanted to hold hands with J.P and Mary-Jo But I couldn't conjure tears We're too good for stupid angels Blackness held its breath beside me And burned the air till it was gone Till it was gone Till it was gone Couldn't pay my respects to a dead man Your life was much more to me And I chased away with sticks and stones But that rage kept following me Following Me Following Me So lost I was asleep in the palms of your hand In dreams we were happy and safe I can't comprehend the ways I miss you They come to light in my mistakes In my mistakes In my mistakes Now I'm travelling down Tacoma way And the world turns in slow motion It's the twilight of our old home And I'm still in love with you Oh here on South Tacoma way We've memories for matinees And the tears come warm and heavy And the cross streets bare your name And the cross streets bare your name |

Lost love
You're the one that lies in my arms You're the one that stole all my charms I let you in Misery You took everything young from me Burned it down right in front of me My blood runs cold Nobody said that love was gonna be kind But they did say that it was pleasurable as it was divine Lost love You're the one that lies in my arms You're the one that stole all my charms I'm bought and sold Nobody said that love was gonna be kind But they did say it was pleasurable as it was divine Wish I could leave it behind Lost love |

All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
How come, how come I twisted you over and under to take you The coals went so wild as they swallowed the rest I twisted you under and under to break you I just couldn't breathe with your throne on my chest All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart How come, how come So far under the bed Into the beams you've gone I've gone, you've gone I'm wrapped in the depths of these deeds that have made me I can't bring a sound from my head though I try I can't seem to find my way up from the basement A demon holds my place on earth 'till I die All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart How come, how come So far under the bed Into the beams you've gone I've gone, you've gone All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart |
