Knoxville, Tennessee, I left you in a dream
But in my mind I say it was you who left me
Knoxville, Tennessee, say goodbye to spring
and summer with its reckless heart
I take it hard. I take my time.
I found a reason to pray.
I take it hard, the silent yard
Where are the birds of summer?
It's how to answer why
Drive to a little town to die. It takes some courage
to stay awake all night
As constellations walk across the sky
And down the mountain
I take it hard. I take my time.
I found a reason to pray.
I take it hard, the silent yard
Where are the birds of summer?
Knoxville, Tennessee, there's so many ways to call you mine
I'll check in for one night
Knoxville, Tennessee, I'm so lonely
It's the saddest love song.
I take it hard. I take my time.
I found a reason to pray.
I take it hard, the silent yard
Where are the birds of summer?

Love Song

No one sings love songs anymore
All of my best friends are divorced
And Jesse's at the bar with a black eye
I joke I wanna be his nurse tonight
La la la la la la la...
Nobody listens these days
They're at the bar trying to get laid
But a moon's in the sky
And when we walk at night he hangs on my every word
La la la la la la la...
Where is there magic now?
He packed it in his suitcase when he left town
But I wanna be good, I wanna be grand
I'm better off this way
I wanna be good, I wanna be grand
I'm better off this way
La la la la la la la...

Kicking Rocks

Lately I've been down a lot, been kickin rocks
Been crying nights
Lately it's the same old thing, the same old pain
The same old alone at night
Does the sky know I'm blue?
Like lonely summer nights I can wish away
Does the sky know I'm blue?
Darlin my blue skies are grey
They say you're not worth my tears, not worth beers
And the going back
For one more night in your arms, always does more harm
But it feels so grand
Does the sky know I'm blue?
Like lonely summer nights I can wish away
Does the sky know I'm blue?
Darlin my blue skies are grey
I'll go this road alone, on my own
I can gaze so far along
And maybe forget your name, forget your game
Forget you're gone
Does the sky know I'm blue?
Like lonely summer nights I can wish away
Does the sky know I'm blue?
Darlin my blue skies are grey

Wax Museum

I woke up in a wax museum
I was so happy to see them
Don't know how I got here last night
Didn't think I could get that high
I woke up in a wax museum
They asked if I believe in ghosts
They asked if I would change their clothes
We sat around, I fixed their hair
Tried to find them clean underwear
I woke up in a wax museum
Everyone wanted to go out to the street
Everyone wanted to walk around with me
To our surprise, the lovely sunrise made us all weak in the knees
I woke up in New York City
Out every window there's a window looking at me
Museum is a lovely city, not much to them but they look so pretty
I woke up in New York City

Bad kids, what'd you mean by what you did?
Bad kids, I used to be like you - mean as shit
And I think I'm getting older
I think I'm getting tired
And it means I'm getting older all the time
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of falling down
I'm afraid it's what my nightmares are about now
And I think I'm getting older
I think I'm getting tired
And it means I'm getting older all the time
When you were here all it ever did was rain
All I ever did was pray for more time
And when you left at the end of June
You took the magic from the room
You took the magic from the room
Oh words escape me even now
Truth is, I went on to live somehow
And I think I'm getting older
I think I'm getting tired
And it means I'm getting older all the time

NYC Redemption Song

Come to the window, I'm out on the street
I decided this evening is too much for me
I'm dancing with the streetlight and I'll dance with gin
I'll dance for redemption, and I'll dance for sin
Come to the window I'm on the street
I decided this evening is too much for me
Come to the window I'm on the street
I decided this evening is too much for me
We were friends, we were lovers
And all I regret is I never loved you as much as I said
Now we both have lovers, we both are in love
We both love the feeling and we'll both fuck it up
Come to the window I'm on the street
I decided that love is too much for me
Come to the window I'm on the street
I decided that love is too much for me
The city in summer, the city it shines
The city it took things that I thought were mine
And I'm tired of the swarm and I'm tired of attack
I'm leaving here sweetheart, I might not be back
Come to the window I'm on the street
I decided this city is too much for me
Come to the window I'm on the street
I decided this city is too much for me
