A Million Miles 03:50
lyrics
I'm just trying to keep my mind occupied instead but nobodies shoulder could be much colder I might as well be dead and all this time we've spent apart really weighs down on my mind when I held you in my arms everything felt so right all this time I've only wanted you by my side I've never seen it more clearly now all I used to have were doubts my reservations held me down all I am is a million miles from you I never thought that I would want to wait around for you but nobody else has come as close as to even fill your shoes I've spent a hundred nights alone rolled over on my side I've been lonely I've been cold one day that will subside all this time I've only wanted you by my side I've never seen it more clearly now all I used to have were doubts my reservations held me down all I am is a million miles from you now I suppose it appears to those people in my life that I'm jealous that I'm callous maybe they are right but nothing else does the trick while were a million miles apart I've never been further from the finish or further from the start all this time I've only wanted you by my side I've never seen it more clearly now all I used to have were doubts my reservations held me down all I am is a million miles from you

Reflections of Life and Death 03:57
lyrics
they always seem to come and go a fleeting moment on a slippery slope just when I think of found the one another moment and I can't go on I'm so tired all the emptiness aside fill me up with gin and throw a matchstick in shed some light and I'm so humbled by the grandness of it all we build these homes raise kids of our own hang their pictures up on the wall they always seem to come and go a fleeting moment on a slippery slope just when I think of found the one another moment and I can't go on in a week or two I'd like to pack my bags get on a plane never be seen again would that be so bad and in a while from now I'd like to have it made pretty girls on my arms I'd be like a movie star wouldn't that be great they always seem to come and go a fleeting moment on a slippery slope just when I think of found the one another moment and I can't go on ever since you left the path has been so unclear I've had women in my bed while I've had you in my head its this loneliness that I fear and I'm so terrified of losing all control flying off the track never quite getting back swallow me up whole they always seem to come and go a fleeting moment on a slippery slope just when I think of found the one another moment and I can't go on

Congratulations 04:26
lyrics
you figured it out congratulations let your head swell with waterworks and acceptance of death I can sense the doubt slowly creeping down your spine repeat the mantra "I'm going to be fine" and the hardest part of letting go is seeing the tears in your eyes I just hope you'll understand even if it takes a long, long time how I cried when you said good morning and I knew you didn't see it coming it made me want to fucking die lying when you're around anticipation tears at my sides nothing hurts more than when you hold on so tight do you believe in love I know you can feel it but do you deserve it if you can't love her back and the hardest part of letting go is seeing the tears in your eyes I just hope you'll understand even if it takes a long, long time how I cried when you said good morning and I knew you didn't see it coming it made me want to fucking die

Shake It Off 03:40
lyrics
Its been a couple years since I've seen you around I used to think about you often now I barely recognize the sound of your voice maybe I'm lying I was good at hiding feelings I was younger and dumber and much more easily able to move on I was thinking to myself "holy shit this could be something" Ive been waiting for someone to come and surprise me for far too long and I'm not usually the one to get fooled into something a fool would believe but I guess I'm getting gullible now I didn't leave the front door locked you broke in and now you're stealing all my stuff I should just forget about it try again I'm dying for the things I can't admit now it's been a little while since the car broke down and I haven't run a mile in these shoes since I was young I've got places to go and people to see and too many things left to do on the other side it's been even longer since I've seen your face when you left town I couldn't help but feel that you'd never come back it's so easy to disappear in this world you get stuck in the ether and never catch a second breath I didn't leave the front door locked you broke in and now you're stealing all my stuff I should just forget about it try again I'm dying for the things I can't admit it's fine to think that we had our time but I can't shake it off you've hung around for far too long it's fine to think that we had our time but I can't shake it off the ties we share are breaking off it's been a couple years since I've seen you around I still think about you often but I barely recognize you now

Ten Feet Tall 02:52
lyrics
you caught me off guard when you said goodbye tied at the tongue I could never speak my mind sitting in the corner facing the wall shrunken little shoulders but somehow still ten feet tall the expiration date is gone but i can tell that somethings off every one in this room is fine maybe it tasted different the first time so many visions so many nights dancing in the kitchen reminiscing in the moonlight wake up in the morning put the records on brew a cup of coffee and laugh about it all the expiration date is gone but i can tell that somethings off every one in this room is fine maybe it tasted different the first time I could never break the ties too many beautiful times sometimes the universe gets one right the expiration date is gone but i can tell that somethings off every one in this room is fine maybe it tasted different the first time

God + Man 02:18
lyrics
I woke up in the morning to a rifle firing off overnight the war had come and took all that I loved they made me join the army they made me fight their wars they left a wounded, broken man to crawl back on all fours I lost my friends to gunfire landmines, and napalm I lost my head when they said we dropped the atom bombs I lost my head when they said we dropped the atom bombs // god and man, god and man kill their sons, kill their sons god and man, god and man kill their sons, kill their sons
