Mornin' 01:55
books and posters hold up your room. a bright pink neon sign seeps right through. i wrote those words...the clock struck ten. i close my eyes and wait 'til mornin'
2.
Take Me Back 03:13
take me back to your first house that yellow one in nogales. why can't we just stay young forever? take me back to your first room where i mispronounced the word "moon" and i forgot our first month together.

we say "not even the sun, the clouds or even the past". but when you're down i'll put on our song. why do you laugh when i dance? but i say and do another. my actions are louder than words. i see clouds and run for cover and say "the rain will never hurt" i didn't know that i was alone and four walls became my world. and your dreams are like no others how can i get close to her? why is everyone so fuckin' borin'? why are you so borin' too? but somehow i don't really mind i don't mind being bored with you i didn't know that you were alone and four walls became your world, and your dreams are like no others how can i get close to her?

the moon hangs low tonight and everything is shinin' bright except for one room downtown off of fell and franklin. there's some band that no one knows. i doubt that they're on the radio. i grab a drink before they go on and i'm leanin' against the table. and i'm feelin' alive just tryin' to survive. i got no cash, no cars just the one with brown eyes. i'm feelin' alive. mid-september and i'm felin' warm. i thought there would be some rain by now. but now i'm walkin' in cut-off shorts just dreamin' of december. and i'm feelin' alive just tryin' to survive. i got no cash, no cars just the one with brown eyes. i'm feelin' alive.
5.
who hurt you? who made you scared? and did it happen before i was there? but now you are lonely but you're not alone. and i feel so helpless. i'm stuck on my phone. you're showered with presents to fill a void. but it doesn't do much, you still hear that noise. and it's gettin' late now, please close your eyes and dream about sutter and water-filled skies.

Monotonous 05:03
we lack this thing called confidence. we don't want your attention. we feel so small on this continent. don't be so pretentious. my world is spinnin' around again. i'm feelin' apprehensive. these days they get so monotonous. and once again "no new messages"
7.
Someday 03:43
a year's been by and you're still here, i'm not sure why after i showed all my fears to you and only you. but now six strings and my shakey voice are keepin' me from feelin' lost without you. i'm lost without you. my truck's in drive and my heart is in park and i feel alive when i sing all these songs with you. these songs with you. and ain't it funny how people now they think that there's nothin' goin' down? it's untrue. if they only knew. now i go on my road yes i go on my own hopin' that someday, please someday, i'll be back home
