It'll Come Around
Sitting at the counter, bowing our heads
Praying over eggs
The Sunday blues were hitting hard
and rattled us like chains
Shaking two packs of Sweet and Low
Like she was beating back the Devil
If I spoke before she drained her cup
She'd be Cain and I'd be Able
When we were green and the stakes were low
We never checked the weather
We'd lay in bed constructing dreams
The wilder the better
Time slipped out when we hit snooze
Was never seen again
Now we're staring at an empty fridge
Our wits have met their end
But it'll come around
It'll come around
It'll come around
It'll come around
Monday came like a Karate chop
Across the back of my neck
I snuck into work and hour late
and hid behind my desk
Back at home she was drinking a beer
Just to take off the edge
Cutting lotto tickets into paper dolls
And tearing off their heads
But it'll come around
It'll come around
It'll come around
It'll come around
It's a long, long game, So don't ya get uptight
Don't lay awake chasing numbers in the night
It's a long, long game, It ain't time to panic yet
I'm telling you there's better days ahead
It'll come around
The summer evening stretched like taffy
As we began to walk
We made wrong turns on purpose
Just to get a little lost
Found a park the world forgot
Rides rusted in their tracks
Tossed a coin into a fountain
And made a wish to have it back
But it'll come around
It'll come around
It'll come around
It'll come around

Chasing Rainbows
I remember chasing rainbows
In Daddy's Chevrolet
We'd drive for miles on them back roads
and still be miles away
Days and weeks keep slippin' by me
My attitudes been grey
I'm exhausted by the sunshine
and desperate for a change
Maybe we're too busy
Maybe we're too old
Let's go chasing rainbows
Let's go chasing rainbows
Stuck in a hurricane of memories
Spinning stories from the past
Rain fell like wedding day confetti
Now puddles are all that we have
Maybe I'm just dreamin'
Maybe I'm to bold
Let's go chasing rainbows
Let's go chasing rainbows
There's no adventure worth a mention without a risk
Let's be braver, make a wager and go all in
The horizon's something I've been watching my whole life
Let's be a little reckless and make it right
No matter where the wind blows
Our direction stays the same
So take my hand and never let go
It's OK to be afraid
Maybe we've got decades
But no-one, no-one really knows
Let's go chasing rainbows
Let's go chasing rainbows
Let's go chasing rainbows
Let's go chasing rainbows

Better at Leaving

Better at Leaving
Up in the air, take it or leave it
I keep telling my friends she's just in for the weekend
Come Monday morning she'll be half way to Cleveland
She's good at love but she's better at leaving
She comes in on the Greyhound, like original sin
Water coloured tattoos, splashed on her skin
I don't ask when she's going, I don't ask her to stay
Just keep it in the moment, that's the deal we made
Up in the air, take it or leave it
I keep telling my friends she's just in for the weekend
Come Monday morning she'll be half way to Cleveland
She's good at love but she's better at leaving
She's good at love but she's better at leaving
The world stops spinning when she touches my hand
No promises are given, no starry eyed plans
I was lost in a daydream when she stepped out the door
We don't bother saying goodbye anymore
We're two sides of the same lucky penny
Someday she'll stop and pick it up
It's like holding a match you let burn to your fingers
Sometimes enough just ain't enough
Up in the air, take it or leave it
I keep telling my friends she's just in for the weekend
Come Monday morning she'll be half way to Cleveland
She's good at love but she's better at leaving
She's good at love but she's better at leaving
She's good at love but she's better at leaving

Everyday

Everyday
Everyday, it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey hey
Everyday, it's a-gettin' faster
Everyone said, "Go ahead and ask her"
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey hey
Everyday seems a little longer
Every way, love's a little stronger
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?
Everyday, it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey hey
Everyday seems a little longer
Every way, love's a little stronger
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?
Everyday, it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey hey
Love like yours will surely come my way

Roadside Attraction
One more day, staring at the ceiling
Same routine and the same paint peeling
Rorschach water stains comin' alive
I had to get out for a drive
There she was hitching on nine
With dust on her boots and a cardboard sign
Big bold letters straight and clear
Said anywhere but here
She had a renegade outlaw sense of fashion
If a pick her up anything could happen
I'm a sucker for a road side attraction
We traced a line on a tourist map
Took Polaroids in foolish hats
Treated that road like the wild west
Pushed the needle to the edge
I don't think we ever stopped laughin'
She rev'd up my accelerated passion
I'm a sucker for a road side attraction
Pulled to side and let the sun disappeared
She stole a kiss as a souvenir
Backseat blanket and an old cassette
Got as close as we could get
We woke up to patrol lights flashin'
Rubbernecking drivers enjoying the action
I'm a sucker for a road side attraction

Make a Change

Make a Change
Lost again underneath the globe
Upside down and on a backward road
I knew the minute I left the ground
The only place to go was down
Why'd I leave you in the cold
Now my heads on straight
and honey you should know
Gonna make a change
I'm gonna make a change
Gonna make a change
I'm gonna make a change
Made my way through the twisted trees
The birds were singin' but not for me
This ocean road don't seem so great
Of the twelve apostles I only counted eight
I've made my bed that's where I'll lay
My watch is full of rust
The hours feel like days
Gonna make a change
I'm gonna make a change
Gonna make a change
I'm gonna make a change
Spent last night on the tile floor
Was it something in the water or the shots I poured
These rainy mountains are making me blue
I won't feel the sun until I'm back with you
Please forgive me my mistake
I pray you're standing there
When I get off the plane
Gonna make a change
I'm gonna make a change
Gonna make a change
I'm gonna make a change
I've been wrong but I'm making it right
I've been blind but I found the light
I gave up now I'm ready to fight
I'm gonna make a change

My Stupid Heart

My Stupid Heart
He filled the room like a summer breeze
Something in his laugh was wild and free
I've heard the stories, I've heard the lies
I was already lost when he caught my eye
I've had many lesson's learned
I'm not afraid to crash and burn
When it comes to love, I can't trust my head
It's such a mess
God bless my stupid heart
I'm not a girl to play it safe
I'm not opposed to the right mistake
We stepped outside to share a cigarette
Counted stars and then we left
I've had many lesson's learned
I'm not afraid to crash and burn
When it comes to love, I can't trust my head
It's such a mess
God bless my stupid heart
My stupid heart, my stupid heart
My stupid heart, my stupid heart
My stupid heart can't take a hint
It don't care 'bout the mess I'm in
I've had many lesson's learned
I'm not afraid to crash and burn
When it comes to love, I can't trust my head
It's such a mess
God bless my stupid heart

Kicking and Screaming
Splashing water on my face, up before six
Listen to the coffee bubble and drip
Four crows on the line preaching end of days
Swerving down the road in a voodoo haze
I'm a computer zombie, walking dead
Hands of a clock wrapped around my neck
But on Friday night when the band is swinging
I'll be out on the dance floor
Kicking and screaming
All the weekend cowboys in their brand new jeans
Standing in a circle like rosary beads
I pass right by 'em in the neon light
I'm not here to drink, I'm not here to fight
Squeeze my way through the twisting crowd
All hands in the air and tearing it down
Guitars on ten and the kick drum beating
I'm standing in the front row
Kicking and screaming
I'm a Kung-Fu master on an old TV
A twister of hands and a storm of feet
Step to the side and watch for debris
I'm gonna exercise my demons
I'll be kicking and screaming
It's no surprise I've seen better days
The world moved on while I stood in place
Hitching my way back into town
My '65 Falcon's always breaking down
I've never been bothered by a little rust
You get watcha' can before it's dust
When the sky's on fire and the angels are singing
I'll be dancing with the Devil
Kicking and screaming

Waltzing Out of Time

Waltzing Out of Time
When the band played, we crowded the floor
The singer came in late and missed a few chords
We never noticed we were lost in ourselves
Love had struck us blind
We were waltzing out of time
Hairspray halos and cocktail perfume
Guys playing macho, rolled sleeves and bad tattoos
We cut circles in the geometric wood
And left them all behind
We were waltzing out of time
Last call lights on the crowd disappeared
The band played its last song and packed up their gear
We held on tighter, never spoiled it with words
It's still playing in my mind
We were waltzing out of time
It's still playing in my mind
We were waltzing out of time
