Blue Jeans 01:11
Kitchen Floor at night Slow dancing in the living room River walking, true talking Eating mandarins outside, sun setting Juice dripping, sky gazing My words meant something to you With high places Car races, race course tower, picking flowers Tree sap on my favourite jeans Blue jeans And the cycle of needing repeating But it was not enough

Breakups are better in someone else's song 'Cause when they're over you can carry on It's not yet for me is it real for you at all? I guess I won't even know what you're thinking anymore You hold me and tell me everything will be ok Meanwhile I wanna rip my skin off You look at me as I look away All my indecision was in your face 'Why don't you hate me?' 'It's better if you hate me', you said Life before you was a lifetime ago The only thing the same was my name We always talked it through honestly Maybe we talked it through a little too much Yeah we laughed, but mostly we cried It seemed there was more to cry about I cannot blame you for all the tragedy I think sometimes I tried to You really should hate me Yeah you should hate me Why don't you hate me? Maybe you do It's not the death we were gunnin' for I wish it was those bloody parasites Don't know what to do in any way at all At least with you some things made sense But what about this disposable sitting on my bookshelf? So many happy pictures of you that no one's ever seen (maybe I'll keep it that way) It's like the song I wrote about photos of friends Except this time I know there was real love This time I know there was real love But some times real love feels like dying Like dying (maybe you do) Like dying (maybe you do) Like dying (yeah we all do)

The City 03:37
Growing up is easy It's looking back that's hard And looking forward is impossible But life keeps happening and None of it feels real A daily choice to live as though alive I'm just lost here in the city I'm without a home to call my own What am I to do now? Oh give me an anchor for my wayward soul But you, you cut the pretence out You're everything that's real Truly human in the best of ways And you're an eagle up there I bet your Dad would say that too You see beauty in the small things We're just out here in the city I never thought it'd be this way The clouds out here look much more pretty Because here I watch them with you I have no idea what to do But you are an anchor for my wary soul

This one's like the rain Loud and in my brain Wash me clean and make me into something new Something more like you It's true I'm scared I've been talking about this fear with friends I wear it like a badge Why do I do that? Well last night I worked it out It's true I'm scared of you, I'm scared of this whole damn thing But most of all, I'm scared I'm just like everyone else Take me on Show me that I'm not above feeling like this Take me on Show me that I don't deserve this emptiness It seems the sun won't shine if you're not here And I need the sun to grow That much I do know Well last year I thought I'd die In fact I never even thought I'd make it to 21 But now I've got this whole life ahead of me And I don't know what to do I guess I'll take it on Daily throw away the things that turn to stone Take it on Learn to love with grace the way that I've been shown I'll take it on See the beauty in this life and life alone I'll take it on With the sun and rain and you I know I'll grow

Tea that tastes like butter on bread You and I in red We talked for hours And then we left The next time that I saw you we ate food Before you left, I told you I liked you You rode your bike on home I drove on to a festival To play my songs for people I don't know Then we met at your old stompin' ground To walk and talk and walk and talk and walk We felt the wind on our skin And threw rocks at things We watched the sun set over the city from afar And talked of past love and our future fears I said, 'I'm scared that I'll let you down Scared that I'll leave another hole in your heart' Over dinner you pieced your life together for me Told your story Your eyes damp and alive A movie scene And I fear that I'll break your heart Do you fear you'll break mine? And I'm scared that I'll let you down Scared that I'll leave
