The Law 02:42
lyrics
buy track
Well, he lived within the law Never hurting anyone But the presence of the day Was eating him away Love you like a blade loves bone Love you like blood loves stone Love you like life loves pain Love you like a flood loves the rain Well, I live with the law Never hurting anyone But the presence of the day Is eating me away Love you like tires love dogs Love you like nightmares love stars Love you like a wound loves time Love you like a moment loves to die Well, I live with the law Never hurting anyone But the presence of the day Is eating me away Love you like a baby loves to wake Love you like a spirit loves to break Love you like a leaf loves frost Love you like a memory loves loss Well, I live with the law Never hurting anyone But the presence of the day Is eating me away Away...

Glass Lips 03:45

I snuck a kiss while you were in the bathroom I know it was wrong to be so cavalier But I didn't know how long you'd be gone So I pressed my lips to your bottle of beer Held them there so strong yet so tender To the jukebox I slowly swayed And my heart felt like a child before Christmas Finding his presents all stashed away Glass lips with a small smear of lipstick Paper label with a hint of perfume A blonde hair stuck to the bottom And cold beer to go with these blues You joked that I'd soon get sick of you But I said in my head that'd never be true Cause I keep finding ways to be near Cause that's what my heart leads me to do Glass lips with a small smear of lipstick Paper label with a hint of perfume A blonde hair stuck to the bottom And cold beer to go with these blues If I take a chance and I'm wrong I may never see you again So I'll hide the words in a song And hope that you will understand So I'll take glass lips now because I have to I'm too scared to take a chance I may lose But I don't know how much longer I can settle If I keep on sitting here sipping this booze Glass lips with a small smear of lipstick Paper label with a hint of perfume A blonde hair stuck to the bottom And cold beer to go with these blues To go with these blues

Comfortable Bed 03:33

I wanna be your bed I wanna be your bed Wanna be your comfortable bed And you can dream all night on me I'm gonna get a car Gonna get a car Gonna get a sturdy, old car And you can ride all night with me You don't need to dream of me Cause I'm right here Just open up your window, baby Let it all just disappear Water into wine Water into wine Water into sweet, sleepy wine Is all just a state of mind Running out of time Runnin' out of time Runnin' out of thin, winding time I'm just happy to have a ride And you don't need to dream of me Cause I'm right here Just open up your window, babe Let it all just disappear And we're free to dream anew Cause now it's me and you So let's get lost And see how many roads we can come across The sun is in my eyes Sun is in my eyes Sun is in my bottled, blue eyes But I think I know the way And sitting to me side Sittin' to my side Sittin' with her feet held high Is a girl who maps the miles And on the story goes On the story goes On the story widens and winds Until we stay behind And you can be my bed You can be my bed You can be my comfortable bed And you can hold my soul while I sleep I wanna be your bed Wanna be your bed Wanna be your comfortable bed And you can dream all night on me Yeah, you can dream all night on me You can dream all night on me

Thankful 02:40
lyrics
buy track
Well, it's easy to be thankful when someone always has it worse We might not often say it, cause such truths often hurt And it's strange to take a day to reflect on what is true When I know for what I'm thankful, and what I'm thankful for is you And it's never lost on this guy all for me that you do Cause when I look at any doorway I always hope that you'll walk through And it's strange to take a day to reflect on what is true When I know for what I'm thankful, and what I'm thankful for is you Well, I might not eat the meat, I might be late for showing up That don't mean I don't want to be there, I'm just lost a bit on love Cause it's hard to take a day to reflect on what is true When I know for what I'm thankful, and what I'm thankful for is you Is you Now I'm staring at this bird as the afternoon grows dim In the cold New England auburn I count my blessings once again I am thankful for my family and my stubborn state of health I am thankful for my cat and I don't have to thank nuthin' else Cause it's wrong for just one day for what I always know is true That I know for what I'm thankful, and what I'm thankful for is you Yes I know for what I'm thankful and that, my dear, is you That, my dear, is you

Responsible Guy 03:21

I made you laugh, I made you cry Yeah, I'm a responsible guy I'm a responsible guy You open and shine And I close down and hide Yeah, I'm a responsible guy Pretty please, I ask of thee Forgive me for my responsibility I tend the garden, then let it go Yeah, I'm too afraid to watch things grow Yeah, I'm too afraid to watch things grow Cause life is long, or long enough And I don't have the heart to watch things rust Yeah, I can't stand to see things rust So pretty please, I ask of thee Forgive me for my responsibility Yes forgive me for my responsibility I'm not strong enough to watch it break A faithful man without the faith The watering can sits idly by Yeah, I'm a responsible guy Yeah, I'm a responsible guy The flowerbeds have all gone dry I know it's me but I don't know why Yeah, I'm a responsible guy
