Wasting friday nights
Chasing girls we would never find
Hoped to cross their paths
With nothing to say not ready to act
There was something in the air as if she’d even care
As if she’d even talk to us while she was with him
We were learning how to live
We were stupid valley kids
Sitting in a car
Planning the night playing guitar
Wrote a song for her
She’s coming toward me
No time to rehearse
There was something in the air as if she’d even care
As if she’d even talk to us while she was with him
We were learning how to live
We were stupid valley kids
Cheap beer soft drugs
Anything to mess you up
Big plans heartache
Never got past first base
All the girls that come and gone
We stayed dumb while they grew up
They married boys with better jobs
We stood still while they moved on
There was something in the air as if she’d even care
As if she’d even talk to us while she was with him
We were learning how to live
We were learning how to live and love and die again with every girl we ever met
We were learning how to live
We were stupid valley kids
All my friends are gone or dead

This party is kicking cause everybody's doing drugs
Some of us are livid and some of us are falling in love
And I see you there with your auburn hair in the dark
With a simple look you sink your hook in my heart
The music is playing half a mile away
The stars in the heavens are totally on display
And you’ve followed me with your gentle pleas to my home
But you disappear and I’m standing here all alone

Tell me dear what you are thinking
Or at least what you've been drinking
Cause you'll need something stronger to carry on
You and I well we've been talking
About the hints that I’ve been dropping
But you're still here with me carrying on
In all my life I've met my wife several times
Called a cab and now we wait
You want to show me to your place
So we can sit and wait for the sun
Check your purse I freshen up
When I come back you are gone
It seems that someone else had caught your eye
In all my life I've met my wife several times
A valley kid through thick and thin 'till I die

Morning coffee I don't drink
The dishes fill the kitchen sink
And I'm still trying you're still trying too
I slept on it it kept you up
You're working on that second cup
And I'm still trying you're still trying too
You used to say to me
That we were built to dream
Leave for work without a word
Much easier than it was at first
You're still trying and I’m still trying too
Call me up to chew me out
You tried to make it all about
What you had said
You used to say to me
That we were built to dream

She said
It was killing her like a cancer
Plans that we made
Spat in our face
That winter
And she's dying
To show me her new life
And this guy that she's met
He's good for half the rent
In the winter
Does she tell him
About all the crazy stuff
And the way she used to love
The houses where we grew up
Does she tell him
About me
How we were crazy
About the baby
Does she tell him
She said
Killing her like a cancer
Like a cancer

Do you think of me as you're falling asleep
Thinking of us and what could have been
I think of you and your body
How it’s caused me sleepless nights
You made me leave your place
Was it something I said
I may have been replaced
But I'm still seeing red
I tell myself
You wanted me to stay
But the truth keeps getting in the way
You made me leave your place
Was it something I said
I may have been replaced
But I'm still seeing red

Drinker's Remorse

Been waiting by the ocean
Been waiting by this tree
Till the wind it blew so hard
Came crashing down on me
Woke up in a hospital
With you by my side
Must have been hit so hard
It was messing with my mind
And I get cold
When I'm all alone
I get cold
We were lying on the beach
Fighting off sleep
I thought I heard you call my name
As the ocean took you away
And I get cold
When I'm all alone
I get cold
You were calling
You were calling
For me
While I was asleep
And I get cold
When I'm all alone
I get cold

The rain
Is playing my favourite song
If I am lucky I can sing along
These words all about you
Every whisper it’s true
All my friends are gone or dead
Listen close they're in my head
I walk all night just like them
All my friends are gone or dead
And I won’t fight no I won’t fight
These words
Oh this rain keeping me insane I’m sure
All my friends are gone or dead
Listen close they're in my head
I walk all night just like them
All my friends are gone or dead

Two Lonely Men

We don't talk about ourselves
Only everybody else
And the things they do to us
That are wrong
And how we're up all night
With these thoughts
We're so great and they are so wrong
We only have time to side
With those we see eye to eye
Cause everybody else
They’re so wrong
And we stroke our egos with
petty talk
All this talk won't ease the pain
You look at me I feel the same
We're so great and they’re so bad
Yeah we're so great and they're so bad
We were learning how to live
We were stupid valley kids
And your silhouette’s the best I’ve ever met
I think I’m probably good for half the rent
All this talk won't ease the pain
You look at me I feel the same
We're so great and they’re so bad
Yeah we're so great and they're so bad
I can’t break your heart
But I’ll do the best I can to do my part
You were like a stone
But I tore you up
Before I let you go
I can’t break your heart
But I’ll do the best I can
I’ll do the best I can
All this talk won't ease the pain
You look at me I feel the same
We're so great and they’re so bad
Yeah we're so great and they're so bad
We're so great and they're so bad

I am waiting in this hall
I am waiting in the cold
Oh the floors wearing out
Oh the floors wearing out
It’s wearing through my soul
I've been waiting for my time
I've been waiting all my life
Oh the floors wearing out
Oh the floors wearing out
It’s wearing through my soul
It’s wearing through my soul

Remembrance Day

Here I am what can I do
I don’t know it’s been so long since
I’ve gone down this road
I’ve tried to hide what could I do
I don’t know
Here I am my skin’s crawling
As I stare and stand where my mother once did
People say is that who I think it is
I haven't seen him since he was a kid
A heart so big it finally gave in
On that day I made my way back into your grace
It took a call to change it all again

We Will Break
04:15

We're a sinking ship
Just off the coast
And we’re taking on water
With no lifeboats
Our northern crew
Have lost their minds
But they're holding on
With no supplies
Come on
We're taking all their lives
Killed a culture
Now trying to forget
By keeping silent
It's what we do best
Come on
We're taking all their lives
We made a statement
With all this progress
Come on come on
We’re taking all their lives
It’s alright
It’s all lies

And I know this is horrible
But I know this feels very real
And I feel a strange headache
Then I’m standing alone in a field
Am I here alI alone I don’t know
I feel like walking but can’t move my feet
So I lay here alone in my thoughts
Is this the end of me
I can deal with that
And I remember not being scared
But I remember being very confused
My mother I saw her standing there
So many people such a small room
Am I here alI alone I don’t know
I feel like walking but can’t move my feet
So I lay here alone in my thoughts
Is this the end of me
I can deal with that
I have no use for the rain these days
I hear it calling but it never plays my song
Some notes washed out with the mud
Is this the end of me
I can deal with that

All my friends are gone or dead
Listen close they're in my head
I walk all night just like them
All my friends are gone or dead
Down by a river by a rainy road
I settle down I make a home
I lay on top a bed of stones
Down by a river by a rainy road
I've been lying to myself
I'll never get my help
And I'll never make it home
No I’ll never make it home
I've been lying to myself
Lying to myself
I was the girl with the pretty eyes
Scrapes and cuts running up my sides
Here I lay looking at the sky
I was the girl with the pretty eyes
I've been lying to myself
I'll never get my help
And I'll never make it home
No I’ll never make it home
I've been lying to myself
Lying to myself
