The Root
03:53

I’m breaking up a little
Pieces collect at my feet
Something below my surface is so brittle
Where fault lines and sweet kisses meet
I miss the days of wonder
I miss that old part of me
I’d give it all to make it feel that way again
I’d give it all just to see
Ooh
Oh, we’ve come to this
It’s hard enough to explain
I have tried everything
And this is it
I am the root of the pain
Some people say it’s over
When you begin to give in
But I’d say I’m under and even the hunger
That drives me to think that I’m doing ok is
A troublesome indication
Oh, we’ve come to this
It’s hard enough to explain
I have tried everything
And this is it
I am the root of the pain
Down down like the crash of the ocean
Can’t stop the wave once it goes
And I can’t shake the feeling that
Shaking the ceiling could unearth the secrets
I’m trying to keep
When the ground and the truth come to blows
Oh, we’ve come to this
It’s hard enough to explain
I have tried everything
And this is it
I am the root of the pain

Ready Go

Trigger on my heartbeat
Baby I’m ready go
Look into your fire
Walk into your shadow
Wanted you to want me
Baby I’m ready go
Walk into your fire
Who’s gonna steal the show
Buried my love next to the
Bones in your backyard
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Saw you at the motel
Smoking on the patio
I looked into your fire
I walked into your shadow
Catch me on my way down
Catch me I’m a little slow
Still want you to want me
Baby I’m ready to roll
Stuck my head right into the
mouth of the lion and I
Stepped on my lies and dug a
Hole to hide them from you
Baby I’m ready go
Baby I’m ready go
I ain’t gonna steal your show
Baby I’m ready
It’s only you and it’s me and us
It’s never what we think when we see it and
It’s only you and it’s me and us
Are we in a dream worth believing
Baby I’m ready go
I’m ready go
Baby I’m ready go
I’m ready go
Baby I’m ready go
Ready go
Baby I’m ready go

You're The Only Thing

I looked at the tv
And I couldn’t believe
What a well we dig
What a life we breathe
I’m passing the time now
By drinking the water
Cuz the deeper you go
The better it is
When I was young
I filled my cup
Right up to the brim
And even though I don’t feel old
I’ll leave some room for him
I never needed a man
At my shoulder
To make me a woman
Or to love and grow old with
But now when I’m digging
My way to the next world
I go a little bit slower
Cuz I’m looking at you
And You’re the only thing
That I want to take with me
And love’s the only way
That leaving here would be easy
I looked at the time
Where did it go
It's hard to believe that
We’re still getting old
And holding each other
Like we’ve always done
Drinking the water
And cursing the sun
Ooh i saw the moon last night
Up in the desert sky
And all its’ beauty can’t compare
To the heaven in your eyes
And You’re the only thing
That i want to take with me
Love’s the only way
That leaving here would be easy

Sometimes I think about my life
And the way it went
And I thank god it didn’t go the way I planned
Cuz by now I’d have three damn kids and a big sedan
And I’d be waiting every afternoon
To pick them up from school and I guess
That’s not a bad thing
Sometimes i think about my life
And the way it went
And I thank god I didn’t have the guts to follow thru
Well I’d have a million dollars that I saved up in the bank
Cuz I did the things my daddy taught me to
And all my friends would use me for the booze and for the money
And I wouldn’t know who’s real or fake
But I wouldn’t have to honey
Sometimes I think about my life and It makes me want to cry
Cuz every little thing that I thought mattered was a lie
And inside I’m cryin’ and blue
Honey what are we gonna do
And inside I’m dying for you
Honey how did we miss the truth
Sometimes i think about my life and the way it went
And i thank god it didn’t go the way I planned
I’d be all cooped up and bored with 5 bedrooms and a pool
Well someone’s gotta clean that mess
And somebody’s a fool
Sometimes I think about my life and It makes me want to cry
Cuz every little thing that I thought mattered was a lie
