Cross border lovers
Cross border lovers
Kiss me in the mist of the waterfall
If this ain’t it, I wanna feel it all
So elated, separated now
Two years ago we both made a pact
When I go all in, oh, I won’t go back
Oh, I wanna see this through but I don’t know how
Do you miss me, baby?
Do you miss me, baby, baby?
We are cross border lovers and we’re making up time
Cross border lovers and we’re ready to cross the line
Cross border lovers
Cross border lovers
Throw down the needle on our favourite song
Sway with me over the telephone
No matter what I do you’re still out of reach
So listen to the sound of the fallin’ rain
Let the headlights cover everything
Reunited, all I want to be
Do you miss me, baby?
Do you miss me, baby, baby?
We are cross border lovers and we’re making up time
Cross border lovers and we’re ready to cross the line
Cross border lovers
Cross border lovers
I go through the day and nobody knows
That half my heart’s living in Colorado
Unrequited, always out of reach
Do you miss me, baby?
Do you miss me, baby, baby?
Do you miss me, baby, baby?
We are cross border lovers and we’re making up time
Cross border lovers and we’re ready to cross the line
Cross border lovers
Cross border lovers
(Cross border lovers)
Cross border lovers
(Cross border lovers)
Cross border lovers

Need You Tonight
03:18
|
|||
I used to run and hide when anybody said something nice
I used to walk away before they could say goodbye
And I used to be scrappy — after all, I’m from the Steel City
But now I’m tired of the fight, oh I’m too tired to fight
Can’t get enough of you, you’re the kind of man that I want by my side
Can’t get enough of you, you’re my kind of man, and I need you tonight
Knowing what you know now, would you do it all again?
Would you wait in that restaurant, when we were drunk off our faces,
And I told you I loved you in a parking lot
I let it slip in Milwaukee, when the pavement was hot
Can’t get enough of you, you’re the kind of man that I want by my side,
Can’t get enough of you, you’re my kind of man and I need you tonight
Yeah you can hold the door
And you can show me some courtesy
Be honest and true
And you can give up your window seat
Treat my friends with respect
And my family kind
And even if I am wrong
Let me think that I’m right
Can’t get enough of you, you’re the kind of man that I want by my side
Can’t get enough of you, you’re my kind of man and I need you tonight
When I see you now, and everything that you’ve become
Everything you’ve taken on, and then some
Can’t get enough of you, you’re the kind of man that I want by my side
Can’t get enough of you, you’re my kind of man and I need you tonight
Can’t get enough of you, you’re the kind of man that I want by my side
Can’t get enough of you, you’re my kind of man and I need you tonight
Oh, I can’t get enough of you, oh I need you tonight

Long Way Down
03:51
|
|||
You gotta get it together
You can’t tell when things are going right
It’s true there’s been stormy weather
But you’re sending water where there’s no fire
You know who you wanna be
But there’s no path to make it look easy
And you’re playing it cool
But you ain’t fine
Here comes the only thing you’ve ever known as true
You’ve been believing something that made you feel so second-rate
And it’s a long way down
And who hasn’t been there before
When you’re all turned on
And you’ve gotta get to something more, more, more
You keep telling me
That you’ve been thinking it over
But I don’t sense any end in sight
You’ve been giving up your precious time
While you’re staring at a mountain to climb
When are you gonna see, gonna see the light
Here comes the only thing you’ve ever known as true
You’ve been believing something that made you feel so second-rate
And it’s a long way down
And who hasn’t been there before
When you’re a long time gone
And you’ve gotta get to something more, more, more
Here comes the only thing you’ve ever known as true
You’ve been believing something that made you feel so second-rate
And made you feel so second-rate
And it’s a long way down,
And who hasn’t been there before
When you’re a long time gone
And you’ve gotta get to something more
You’ve just gotta get to something more
Oh you’ve gotta get to something more, more, more

Someone Else's Feelings
03:13
|
|||
Someone else’s feelings, they came tumblin’ down the stairs
And they’d never been more drunk
They didn’t mean to break the table
Someone else’s feelings followed me all the way home
And they burst in through the door
Left all the lights on, no one’s home
Maybe it’s you that I’ve been waiting on, waiting on, waiting on
Maybe it’s you that I’ve been waiting on
Someone else’s feelings, they kept quiet in the car,
All their politics and principles hidden where nobody could argue
Someone else’s feelings stood there and took one for the team
And the silence seemed to spread out over the lips of everybody
Maybe it’s you that I’ve been waiting on, waiting on, waiting on
Maybe it’s you that I’ve been waiting on
You came walking down the street
Asking if I could remember when was the last time I felt free
And I said “Oh, I can’t remember”
“Oh, I can’t remember”
Someone else’s feelings hung that picture in the hall
But now it’s not much more than shadow, a little darkness on the wall
Someone else’s feelings, they came cryin’ on the wind
Such a hollow, heavy sound, I never want to hear again
Maybe it’s you that I’ve been waiting on, waiting on, waiting on
Maybe it’s you that I’ve been waiting on
Oh you came waltzing down the street
Asking if I could remember when was the last time I felt free
And I said “Oh, I can’t remember”
(Someone else’s feelings)
“Oh, I can’t remember”
(Someone else’s feelings)
“Oh, I can’t remember”
(Someone else’s feelings)
“Oh, I can’t remember”
(Someone else’s feelings)
“Oh, I can’t remember”

Kept You In My Pocket
03:16
|
|||
I coulda kept you in my pocket for another time, true
I coulda waited for tomorrow, but I’m missing you
If you had felt what I had burning inside
You’d know that I’ve been reeling from a losing fight
Why don’t you stay?
Why don’t you stay?
We coulda waited for the moment, but we didn’t have time
I wanted you to feel it, just to know you’re mine
You’re a rose of many colours and you’re keeping me in bloom
Can’t stand another minute when I’m missing you
Why don’t you stay?
Why don’t you stay?
Why don’t you stay?
Why don’t you stay?
(Why don’t you stay?)
(Why don’t you stay?)
(Why don’t you stay?)
(Why don’t you stay?)
Stay

I remember every piece of it
You were looking out at the rain
You jumped down the porch steps into it
Onto the roof of the taxi cab waiting
You walked away without a scratch
After you crashed through the glass coffee table
You raised your arms to the sky
and said “Everybody wants to be this high”
You are the only one of your kind
Everybody laughed ’til everybody cried
RSVP Please
I read it on your birthday party invitation
You told me we should dress up fancy
And then you took us all for dinner at the Irving Gas Station
You are the only one of your kind
Everybody laughed ’til everybody cried
Chelsea Ann
You got married right to the wrong man
And now that you’re a divorcée
I’m pretty sure we all ought to be that way
On Fairleigh Avenue
We’ll talk in the car ’til our lips turn blue
And I will always stand by you
No matter how the years flow by
You are the only one of your kind
Everybody laughs ’til everybody cries
You are the only one of your kind

Come Back Around
02:53
|

“Take your hands off me,” she said
“Unless you wanna wind up dead…
You’ve been biting off way more than you can chew”
“Keep your poison to yourself
Yeah, leave it there on the shelf
There’s no needle here you could push it through”
You’ve been around for a little while
You’ve been doing what you’re hoping is right
You’ve been blue and green and in-between
You might have just missed everything
It’ll come back around
It’ll come back around
It’ll come back around
It’ll come back around
Were you shamed? Was it preordained?
Is there someone else that you could blame?
Scrolling through your address book to find another name
And are they really worse off than you?
Have they done things you would never do?
Or are you just like them and so afraid you are the same?
You’ve been around for a little while
You’ve been doing what you’re hoping is right
You’ve been blue and green and in-between
You might have just missed everything
It’ll come back around
It’ll come back around
It’ll come back around
It’ll come back around
You’ve been around for a little while
You’ve been doing what you’re hoping is right
You’ve been blue and green and in-between
You might have just missed everything
It’ll come back around
It’ll come back around
It’ll come back around
It’ll come back around

Anyone But Me
03:26
|
|||
When you gonna give up your love
When you gonna say “It’s been hard enough”
When you gonna admit defeat and say
“Things were brighter when you were with me”
I don’t wanna run in the other direction
I don’t wanna play sleight of hand
I was so young but I got recollection
That I wasn’t part of your plan
You wanted anybody, anyone but me
You wanted anybody, anyone but me
Am I gonna turn out the same? Am I the bird or am I the cage?
Do I have my father’s eyes? Who’s gonna walk me down that aisle?
I don’t wanna turn the page in your story
’Cause I don’t wanna be let down
Nobody came when I got a new name
Yeah, you did not make a sound
You wanted anybody, anyone but me
You wanted anybody, anyone but me
You, you know I would have followed you
but who could I expect to stand up and protect me
When you wanted anybody, anyone but me
You wanted anybody, anyone but me
When you gonna give up your love
When you gonna say it’s been hard enough
I don’t wanna run in the other direction
I don’t wanna pay that price
But I never asked to stand in your reflection
I don’t wanna keep playing nice
When you wanted anybody, anyone but me
You wanted anybody, anyone but me
Anybody, anyone but me
You wanted anybody, anyone but me

Fired My Man
03:08
|
|||
Racing through just one of many lessons
But try as I might, I was not progressing
Oh, I couldn’t keep up with what was right in front of me
And I couldn’t stand up on the sidewalk in New York City
All my houseplants were barely hangin’ on
It was emergency rescue, each time I made it home
And the sun it still streamed into that beautiful apartment
But if I wasn’t there, then did it ever really happen?
How did I let this get so out of hand?
No plan for my flight, no place to land
How did I let this get so out of hand?
I turned in my key, and I fired my man
Took a crosswalk picture of Hamilton skies
but somewhere deep down, I knew that something wasn’t right
And If I hadn’t stopped dead at the flashing yellow light
Well on King Street, baby, I nearly died
How did I let this get so out of hand?
No plan for my flight, no place to land
How did I let this get so out of hand?
I turned in my key, and I fired my man

Penchant For Love
03:13
|
|||
600 stairs to the redwood sea
The moon lights the way to the shipwreck beach
Slow-moving hands under crisp white sheets
Like the current moves under the waves so wide
I still see you there by the Oceanside
Rolling away with each pulling tide
And it’s hard to get over
It’s hard to get down
It’s hard to give up
And it’s hard to be around you
You can tell me you’re sorry while you’re watching the ground and say
You’ve got a penchant for love
Like the spot on the floor that always creaks
I remember the time we couldn’t keep
I wanted to tell you but I could not speak
It’s still 500 steps to that windowpane
400 ways we’ll never be again
Now I’m 300 miles down a memory lane
And it’s hard to get over
It’s hard to get down
And it’s hard to give up
And it’s hard to be around you
You can tell me you’re sorry while you’re watching the ground and say
You’ve got a penchant for love
You’ve got a penchant for pushing me around
You’ve got a penchant for love
You’ve got a penchant for pushing me around
It was different back then,
But it’s just difficult now
Now the touch of your hand
Is only bringing me down
You can tell me you’re sorry
While you’re watching the ground and say
You’ve got a penchant for love
You’ve got a penchant for love
You’ve got a penchant for love
You’ve got a penchant for love

You Don't Get Me Now
03:11
|
|||
I had you put up on a pedestal
’Cause you were keeping me fed
And I don’t wanna get too sentimental
No, I mean it
No, I mean it
Let it sink in
Just let it sink in
You left your scraps upon the table
You told me that I was just dreamin’
It took me years to dry those tears before I
Stopped believing ya and started leavin’ ya
Let it sink in
Let it sink in
You don’t get me now
You don’t get me now
It don’t matter how
But I’m doing better without you
I’m doing better without you
I keep replaying the movie
And I’m not the superhero.
I pray the villains that I know
In their conclusion, find resolution
Let it sink in
Let it sink in
You don’t get me now
You don’t get me now
It don’t matter how
But I’m doing better without you
I’m doing better without you
You don’t get me now
You don’t get me now
You don’t get me now
You don’t get me now
I’m doing better without you
I’m doing better without you
I’m doing better without you
I’m doing better without you

Out Of Time
03:38
|

Changing colours and changing tides
We made it back from the coast in three nights
You told me, “Honey I gotta fly down to Mississippi, alright?”
“Down to Mississippi, alright?”
So I stood at the river’s edge, hoping that I’d never fall in
Oh, the current. Oh, the water. Oh, the shape I’ve been in
Oh, the shape I’ve been in
I love you darlin’, show me your worst mistake
I know it weighs on you, but I don’t see it that way
I’ll love you, darling, until the seas run dry
I’ll love you like we’ve run out of time
Love you like we’ve run out of time
I laid on a mountaintop under the prettiest tree in Austria
Found a place that felt like home, and no one else was trying to get in
I passed you on the roughest seas, where we both learned how to swim
Oh, the current. Oh, the water. Oh, the shape I’ve been in
Oh, the shape I’ve been in
I love you darlin’, show me your worst mistake
I know it weighs on you, but I don’t see it that way
I’ll love you, darling, until the seas run dry
I’ll love you like we’ve run out of time
I’ll love you like we’ve run out of time
I walked down in the ground with you by my side
You read the writing on the wall from 1975
I love you darlin’, show me your worst mistake
I know it weighs on you, but I don’t see it that way
I’ll love you, darling, until the seas run dry
I’ll love you like we’ve run out of time
I’ll love you like we’ve run out of time
I’ll love you like we’ve run out of time
