Wildewoman (The New Recording)
Her eyes are light and clear
And fearless like Chicago winds in the wintertime
And her hair is never quite in place
And the knees in her jeans have seen better days and she’s no beauty queen but you love her anyways
She’s a wildewoman
Oh she’s gonna find another way back home
It’s written in her blood, oh it’s written in her bones
Yeah, she’s ripping out the pages, she’s ripping out the pages in your book
Oh she’s gonna find another way back home
It’s written in her blood, oh it’s written in her bones
Yeah, she’ll only be bound, bound by the things she chooses
Her smile is sneaky like a fiery fox
It’s that look that tells you she’s up to no good at all
And she’ll say whatever’s on her mind
They’re unspeakable things and she’ll speak them in vain
And you can’t help but wish you had bolder things to say
She’s a wildewoman
Oh she’s gonna find another way back home
It’s written in our blood, oh it’s written in her bones
Yeah, she’s ripping out the pages, she’s ripping out the pages in your book
Oh she’s gonna find another way back home
It’s written in our blood, oh it’s written in our bones
Yeah, she’ll only be bound, be bound by the things she chooses
Yeah, she’ll only be bound, be bound by the things she chooses
Oh we’re gonna find another way back home
It’s written in our blood, oh it’s written in our bones
Yeah we’re ripping out the pages, ripping out the pages in your book
Oh we’re gonna find another way back home
It’s written in our blood, oh it’s written in our bones
Yeah we’ll only be bound, be bound by the things we choose
Yeah we’ll only be bound, be bound by the things we choose
Oh we’ll only be bound, be bound by the things we choose
Oh we’ll only be bound, be bound by the things we choose
Oh we’ll only be bound (only be bound)
By the things we choose
Turn it Around (The New Recording)
She fell comatose waiting for this thing to grow
She’s impatient ‘cause she wants it now and so it shows
She can’t be bothered by the ties that bind her
She’s united when it strangles everything it holds
She’s looking through the wrong end
She’s looking through the wrong end
She’s looking through the wrong end of the telescope
Turn it around, turn it around
She closed the door with the intention of not looking back
But missed her step because she didn’t have a steady track
She can’t be bothered by the mistakes she’s made
But she’s forgetting that’s what guides you to the rightful path
She’s looking through the wrong end
She’s looking through the wrong end
She’s looking through the wrong end of the telescope
Turn it around, turn it around
As suspected back it home it grew out of control
Well that can happen when you leave things to a little girl
So now she’s left without an option at hand
She better tend to it or she won’t have another chance
She’s looking through the wrong end
She’s looking through the wrong end
She’s looking through the wrong end of the telescope
Turn it around, turn it around
She’s looking through the wrong end
She’s looking through the wrong end
She’s looking through the wrong end of the telescope
Turn it around, turn it around
Go Home (feat. Marcus Mumford) (The New Recording)
I’m your dolly,
Stuffed with extra baggage
Lay me down to shut my eyes
Beaded gazes
Lead you nowhere anyways
Press on my heart, I will say
Press on my heart I will say
I am lonely
With a static smile
I think my stitching’s coming loose
I’m hard headed,
but completely soft inside
I’m all wound up and still
The only thing that I can say is
I don’t need you anyway
I don’t need you, go home
Go home
I don’t need you anyway
I don’t need you, go home
Go home
I’m your dolly,
Stuffed with extra baggage
Lay me down to shut my eyes
Beaded gazes
Lead you nowhere anyways
Press on my heart I will say
Press on my heart I will say
I don’t need you anyway
I don’t need you, go home
Go home
I don’t need you anyway
I don’t need you, go home
Go home
Go home
Go home
Go home
Go home
Go home
Hey, Doreen (The New Recording)
These buttons are in the wrong holes again
Let’s straighten them out
Let’s straighten this whole damn mess we’ve gotten ourselves in
This time didn’t go the way I was hoping
You’ve gotta get out, I’ve gotta get out
Keep checking the mirrors, call me as soon as you can
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Oh yeah, can you keep it, can you keep it in?
Hey, Doreen we know what you’ve seen
It’s the way, the way it had to be
Hey Doreen, we know what you’ve seen
It’s the way, the way it had to be
(Cover your tracks you know you can’t take it back)
The sun’s coming up, did you make it in time?
If anyone asks you
You weren’t there I found the perfect alibi
A black dahlia blooms and then she dies
Lie after lie
Is what we do best and share in common, you and I
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, can you keep it, can you keep it in?
Hey Doreen, we know what you’ve seen
It’s the way, the way it had to be
All your plans, just a nickel in your hands
It’s the way, the way it had to be
(Cover your tracks you know you can’t take it back)
Hey, Doreen we know what you’ve seen
it’s the way, the way it had to be
(Cover your tracks you know you can’t take it back)
Can you keep it in?
Both of you can try to find a place to hide
You can try but they’ll find me
Both of you can try to find a place to hide
you can try, but they’ll find me
Both of you can try to find a place to hide
you can try, but they’ll find me
You can’t take it back
You can’t take it back
Hey Doreen, we know what you’ve seen
it’s the way, the way it had to be
All your plans, just a nickel in your hand
It’s the way, the way it had to be
(Cover your tracks you know you can’t take it back)
Hey Doreen, we know what you’ve seen
It’s the way, the way it had to be
(Cover your tracks you know you can’t take it back)
Tempest (feat. Devon Gilfillian) (The New Recording)
We are two ships passing
How long will this last
We haven’t had the time to work it out
Sitting in the backseat
Who knows where our paths meet
And you keep shouting we’ve gotta work it out
You gotta believe me when I say I know
(Gotta work it out, it out)
You aren’t riding on this wave alone
(Gotta work it out, it out)
Gotta believe me when I say I know
(Gotta work it out, it out)
I already know I know I know I know
Yell all that you want to
I’ll yell it right back to you
Back and forth until we’ve tired out
Temper into tempest
Washes off the madness
But we’re still left with figuring shit out
You gotta believe me when I say I know
(Gotta work it out, it out)
You aren’t riding on this wave alone
(Gotta work it out, it out)
Gotta believe me when I say I know
(Gotta work it out, it out)
I already know I know I know I know
The seeds of what you say all beg for reason
Plant them deep so we can disregard them
Just get out of your pretty little head
You’re just waking up to get back into bed
The seeds of what you say all beg for reason
Plant them deeply so we can release them
Been listening to every word you said
You’re just waking up to get back into bed
You know I’m riding on this wave alone
You know I’m riding on this wave alone
You aren’t riding on this wave alone
I already know I know I know I know
Gotta believe me when I say I know
Already know I know I know I know
Alright
Already know I know I know I know
Nothing Ordinary (The New Recording)
Little bird flying in the breeze
Flying above the trees
He’s crying
Because the wind is thick letting off a sour trick
From the smoky fumes of fire
And there is nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary
Nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary
Cattle fields spread across the landfills
Fills pockets full of cheap thrills, but who’s counting?
We’ve been milking it for its worth
How’s about a rebirth?
Plant a seed and watch it grow
And there is nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary
Nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary
Nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary
Nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary
You can’t paint another one
you can’t glue it back together
you can’t glue it back together
you can’t paint another one
you can’t glue it back together
you can’t glue it back together once it’s
gone
Man cannot run this place alone
But when nature intervenes, keep trying
New is in, out with all the old
Just watch us make the bed we’ll lie in
And there is nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary
Nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary
Nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary
Nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary
(Nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary)
(Nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary)
(Nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary)
Two of Us on the Run (The New Recording)
There are two of us on the run
Going so fast every doubt we had is coming undone
And falling behind with everything we left there
We held on for far too long
And now we
Pass so many people on the road
They could come along I wish they’d been told and
They may call it a shot in the dark
From what we know, it’s not unheard of
And we’ll one day tell our story of how
We made something of ourselves now
Our favorite parts are what we’ll keep
Ornamental parts of love and parts of memories
So everything else has room to grow
Cause in better light, everything changes
So we can one day tell our story of how
We made something of ourselves now
Oooh, ooh ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh
Oooh, ooh ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh
There’s no race there’s only a runner
Just keep one foot in front of the other
There’s no race there’s only a runner
Oh
One two three and even when you get tired just keep one foot in front of the other
There’s no race no ending in sight
No second too short no window too tight
So turn off the lights when you leave
‘Cause we got everything were gonna need
We’re on the run we’re on the run we’re on the run child
We gotta run we gotta run we gotta run child
One day tell our story of how
We made something of ourselves now
One day tell our story of how
We made something we made something of ourselves
Until We Get There (The New Recording)
What do you say?
Is this the time
for one more try
At a happy life
So, what do you say?
Is this unwise
To think my fears will not reprise
Woo hoo hoo
Ooh hoo hoo
Ooh hoo hoo
Woo hoo hoo
Can’t be late
it’s a rising tide
like an hourglass
running out of time
So what do you say?
What will you decide?
it’s a win or lose on a rolling die
Woo hoo hoo
Ooh hoo hoo
Ooh hoo hoo
Woo hoo hoo
Woo hoo hoo
Ooh hoo hoo
Ooh hoo hoo
Woo hoo hoo
Gonna get out of the water
Gonna leave the storm
‘Cause everybody’s gotta get there somehow
And I won’t wait another day another day
Woo hoo hoo
Ooh hoo hoo
Ooh hoo hoo
Woo hoo hoo
Woo hoo hoo
Ooh hoo hoo
Ooh hoo hoo
Woo hoo hoo
Won’t know until we get there
You know I wanna get there
Won’t know until we get there
You know I wanna get there
Won’t know until we get there
You know I wanna get there
Won’t know until we get there
You know I wanna get there
Won’t know until we get there
You know I wanna get there
Don’t Just Sit There (The New Recording)
Don’t just sit there
Tell me what I wanna know
What I wanna know
Don’t just sit there
Tell me what I wanna know
What I wanna know
Did you find love?
Have you found love?
Did you find love again?
Did you find love?

Monsters (The New Recording)
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
I know I’m older
but there are still monsters in all of my closets
Sometimes I feed them and some they get bigger than others
Depends on the day
Sometimes I’ll sit on the edge of my bed
and I’ll wait just to see them rear their ugly heads
Sometimes I just cannot face them
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
I know I’m taller, but there are still things that are out of my reach
One of my monsters, you ask him, he’ll tell you
he’s always reminding me
I’ll never get love just as much as I give it
my life will be hard for as long as I live it
You ask him he’ll tell you it all
Maybe if I sit and reason with them
and tell them they’ve got it all wrong
Maybe if I sit and reason with them
and tell them they’ve got it all wrong
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
I should be wiser but all of these monsters I let them get under my skin
One of them has the most hideous face and he says that I look just like him
One of them, she’s so intelligent
She won’t acknowledge what I have to say
And she’ll tell you she knows it all
Housewarming (The New Recording)
I know there’ll be days we’ll say our sorries
There’ll be times we won’t accept apologies and endless nights in bed together
facing opposite directions
It’s not easy when your’e stubborn, even worse, so is your lover
I have found
I found in you
found a friend
found a love to call my own
a heart to call my home
and it is new and it takes time
to break it in to make it mine
but just don’t give me up and I wont let you down baby, I won’t let you down
I know the drill, the ups and downs of love
but through it all you take my hand and give your time
and time I’ve found is most precious of all
become well-versed in heart and mind and when I want you always take me
if you wanted, you could break me
Because I have found
I found in you
found a friend
found a love to call my own
a heart to call my home
and it is new and it takes time
to break it in to make it mine
but just don’t give me up and I wont let you down
And who would have thought?
who would have thought?
we’d be the ones to make this love
who would have thought?
who would have thought?
this was all us, we made this all
Because I have found
I found in you
found a friend
found a love to call my own
a heart to call my home
and it is new and it takes time
to break it in
to make it mine but just don’t give me up and I wont let you down
Let me in I promise I won’t put you out
Just don’t give me up and I won’t let you down
How Loud Your Heart Gets (The New Recording)
Oh, our igloo house is bigger now oh oh
We’ve made each brick of ice like stone oh oh
It’s a fort that can’t be broken no oh
A place no one would ever find us oh oh
We were children now we’ve grown
We were children now we’ve grown
oh
We were children now we’ve grown
We were children now we’ve grown

Nobody knows how loud your heart gets
‘Cause we’re a million miles away but I still hear you
and I’m going going going going to get you
I’ll tell you all my memories and you will tell me yours
the colors of my favorite trees before the winter’s war
The reasons you and me should talk about the great unknown
without the distance in between and all the obstacles we’ve known
The things we know we just don’t know
The things we know we don’t know
oh
The things we know we just don’t know
The things we know we don’t know
oh
Nobody knows how loud your heart gets
‘Cause we’re a million miles away but I still hear you

Oh they had a field day
Oh they had a field day, didn’t they?
Oh they had a field day
Oh they had a
Oh they had a field day
Oh they had a field day, didn’t they?
Wouldn’t they?
And all you had to do was shut your mouth
Genevieve, Genevieve
Could it have been something you said?
We were only kids then
I have not forgotten what you did
It’s just as clear as if it were yesterday, yesterday
I haven’t rose above this
With what you did, it’s fair to hold a grudge
It’s now my turn to call you out Genevieve
And they will see
That all you had to do was shut your mouth
Genevieve, Genevieve
Could it have been something you said?
And you could say you didn’t know
But everybody knows
And you could say that no one told you
So be the one who tells it right
It’s nothing new what you put in is what you get
Don’t act surprised we all know that so don’t forget it
Makes no difference now it’s true
Darling I’m through with you
Genevieve, Genevieve
Could it have been something you said?
Genevieve, Genevieve
Could it have been something you said?
(something you said?)
something you said?
(something you said?)
something you said?
(something you said?)
something you said?
(something you said?)
Could it have been something you said?
