Honest 03:15
I’m crying on the phone You’re trying to make it better I didn’t wanna be alone Until I wasn’t anymore With my feet bare on the sand I prayed on the winter solstice If I’m flying let me land And if I’ve landed help me notice On the horizon Everything’s light and The boats hang like chandeliers I just wanna taste it You said nothing is wasted But there goes another year If I were just honest I might get what I wanted for once If I were just brave enough to feel it I might know all I needed was love And now nothing’s as it was But it doesn't feel that different They said a change is gonna come But never mentioned we might miss it On the horizon Everything’s light and The boats hang like chandeliers I just wanna taste it You said nothing is wasted But there goes another year If I were just honest I might get what I wanted for once If I were just brave enough to feel it I might know all I needed was love
2.
The Opposite 02:53
If everything's a circle Then is progress an illusion If we end up where we started I guess there's no such thing as losing But you still gotta pass the time, You still gotta pass the time somehow In the field behind the campground Holding rocks, I let my hair down With our skin on flowerbeds You asked me what salvation meant 'Cause you heard it in a song And you were just wondering For every cruel voice In my head You say the opposite Again and again And for every fear There'll be nothing left You have more for me You took me to the hospital I never paid the bill When I finally told you You just laughed and laughed until You took my hand, went to the garden, Read the numbers soft and slow That check felt like the closest thing I know to a love note For every cruel voice In my head You say the opposite Again and again And for every fear There'll be nothing left You have more for me You have more for me

There's a strange little bird at the motel And a gun shop three miles ahead God walked right on up, rang the doorbell But the TV was on loud so he left Oh and the flood can't put out the wildfire Love can't quell what greed desires Birds like little soldiers in a line What happens when the battlefield Engulfs the battle When the land for which we war Burns us alive Call it what you will The end or just some cosmic shadow But don't you wanna see yourself Before you die The astrologers all said I told you so You see destruction is a lengthy affair And so I watched what I could from the window Until the smoke finally swallowed the air The flood can't put out the wildfire Love can't quell what greed desires Birds like little soldiers in a line What happens when the battlefield Engulfs the battle When the land for which we war Burns us alive Call it what you will The end or just some cosmic shadow But don't you wanna see yourself Before you die Don’t you wanna see yourself Don’t you wanna see yourself Don’t you wanna see yourself

I keep telling myself To put it all in a song It's a lot cleaner than calling I'm still telling myself That I can't get it wrong It's all just dust Spinning and falling I used to pray to your dad I don't think I ever told you that And when we slept beside each other Our dreams would bleed together I've been thinking about Everything I shoved down Everything that I left unspoken But I guess you figured it out 'Cause baby I left it to you To decipher what I couldn't bear to I used to pray to your dad I don't think I ever told you that And when we slept beside each other Our dreams would bleed together Is there a little room inside of you Where I will always be A window, looking out on everything A nosebleed seat And I don't need to fill a stadium Just a single chair To know that everything that burns in me Will burn in you somewhere I used to pray to your dad I don't think I ever told you that And when we slept beside each other Our dreams would bleed together

I’m learning you don’t get to be nowhere Just because you’re in between You still gotta wake up, make peace with the ghost you’re gonna leave And what about the ones who know you? What about them? What about the ocean, the heartbreak The things that never end No pots no ser enlloc ni que ho vulguis Sempre estàs essent De nit fantasmes, seguint-te, pots dir-los adéu I si tornen algun dia ja seràs forta Però ara potser és temps de desert It’s just the beginning even the end is new You’re only spinning It’s nothing you won’t get used to When you’re still without a way to explain it finally the footing calls for some changes canvis que et conduiran sempre al present que neix del teu ventre All along the lights were on waiting I was only wrong to think I could name it Els camins que has transitat tenen llums que tu has deixat a cada pas Maybe we won’t know who we are until we’re not anymore Maybe we won’t know who we are until we’re not anymore No pots no ser enlloc ni que ho vulguis Just because you’re in between De nit fantasmes, seguint-te, pots dir-los adéu I si tornen algun dia What about them? What about the ocean The heartbreak The things that never end When you’re still without a way to explain it finally the footing calls for some changes canvis que et conduiran sempre al present que neix del teu ventre All along the lights were on waiting I was only wrong to think I could name it Els camins que has transitat tenen llums que tu has deixat a cada pas Maybe we won’t know who we are until we’re not anymore Maybe we won’t know who we are until we’re not anymore Maybe we don’t know who we are

The bravest woman that I know Doesn’t hold a job, answer the phone From a one bedroom beside the sea Enough is somehow everything The truest place I’ve ever been Is a tiny room inside my chest Most of the time the doors are locked But when I make it there I don’t get lost So I held the world then put it back What am I to do with all of that ‘Cause she’s split in two And burning red With a thinking heart, A feeling head If what I meant to say gets lost Let that be the aim and not the cost ‘Cause I’ve been flipping coins since I was young Thinking every choice was so hard won I held the world then put it back What was I to do with all of that She’s split in two and burning red With a thinking heart, A feeling head You can only dance the line so long Before the line itself becomes a song And evaporates into the air As if you were never really there
