Somewhere along the line we lost our way
We started saying all the things we shouldn't say
And when I woke up, you were packing up in the dark
You asked me just today what I thought we should do
I said "You know I trust you, baby, but I'm gonna need proof"
And we sat there, blowing smoke in the dark
Hey there don't I know you from somewhere?
Cause it seems like I've met you before
Seems to me that we spent some time having a good time
Now your a stranger to me
Saying things about me just to be unkind
But its really nothing worse than what I hear in my mind
What you needed was something I just couldn't do
Somewhere along the line we lost our way
We started thinking all the things we shouldn't say
And when I woke up, you were packing up in the dark
Hey there don't I know you from somewhere?
Cause it seems like I've met you before
Seems to me that we spent some time having a good time
Now your a stranger to me

You're Gonna Hear

Its twisted Im over it as of tonight
Just a kind word from you may well save my life
You're gonna hear, you're gonna hear
You talked out of turn and it cuts like a knife
Reality burns in a middle-aged life
You're gonna hear, you're gonna hear
And silence all the voices
Too many to be unclear
You're gonna hear
You bade me farewell on the fourth of July
I was drunk at the party and I made you cry
You're gonna hear, you're gonna hear
Reacquainted, confused and its all based on lies
This ache it just stays I revisit tonight
You're gonna hear, you're gonna hear
And silence all the voices
Too many to be unclear
Years of fucked up choices
Mostly made in fear
The ignorant bliss and silence that you hold so dear
It's twisted Im over it as of tonight

Theres a picture of us from long ago
That I found in the woodbox by the stove
I thought that you hung the sun
But I was twenty one and you were just seventeen
I cant say we didn't have good times but somewhere we crossed a line
And now that I've found you know your way around town
Tell me where are you sleeping tonight?
All alone
Youth is gone and glances grown cold
All alone
Your carousel bedroom's a dream
That you'll never see
I remember our unhappy home
In a trailer by the lake I stayed stoned
The last time I saw your face you were a mystery I could not place
When it all ended so suddenly I took none of our things with me
And now that I've found you know your way around town
Tell me where are you sleeping tonight?
All alone
Youth is gone and glances grown cold
All alone
Your carousel bedroom's a dream
That you'll never see again
I can't help but think of you pretending that night
With your pink parasol and me thinking that you might
Live in dreams
So it seems
You haunt me

Two of a Kind

Flowers then leaves in the Spring
Makes plans but don't do anything
Ignore don't focus our folks tried to warn us
Plant thoughts but don't grow anything
I lost my head should've turned around instead
I lost my mind, didn't find it in time
We're two of a kind
At home try to turn things around
Twice a week laying prone on the ground
With a head in the door takes whats left, look for more
Only silence but cant stand the sound
I lost my head should've turned around instead
I lost my mind, didn't find it in time
We're two of a kind

Forty Degrees

I hear you talking, I see that look in your eyes
It was the end and for you is such a surprise
I'll set the seat back just so to keep off the heat
I'll crack the windows It's only forty degrees
I told you not to mess around
You were always on your way to do some running around
Then you blindly did proceed to make a fool out of me
That night I saw you, and just by chance at his car
I turned the corner, look over and there you are
Yeah there you are
I told you not to mess around
You were always on your way to do some running around
Then you blindly did proceed to make a fool out of me
The only sound I hear is my heart breaking in two
I mash the pedal but I am only thinking of you
Your heart was always cold, at least it was toward me
But now if I had to guess I'd say its forty degrees
I'd say its forty degrees
I told you not to mess around
You were always on your way to do some running around
Then you blindly did proceed to make a fool out of me

I drink them faster than I can throw them away
But tomorrow I'll be as empty as the bottles that lay
On the table, the carpet, and on a picture of her face
In a dark empty house where an old ghost remains
I sleep in the basement on a couch in the den
Cause the bedroom just reminds me of the way we were then
Its a broken man whose worth a pitiful laugh
And falls asleep face down on an old photograph
You left me faster than I knew what to say
And when I walk into this house day after day
Im haunted by the memories of all the cruel games we'd play
In a dark empty house where an old ghost remains
I sleep in the basement on a couch in the den
Cause the bedroom just reminds me of the way we were then
Its a broken man whose worth a pitiful laugh
And falls asleep face down on an old photograph
Its awful and it hurts me
What kind of man must I be?
When the one i like best cant stand the sight of me
