Call Me 02:40
here comes the feeling I thought I'd forgotten, keep it up so high on a shelf. right next to the vials of stollen kisses, and the jar of butterflies, all by themselves. think that I could stick around another week, keep the chains wrapped around my bare feet. think that I could stick around another week, ignore the kisses from foreign sunsets, as they call me. here comes the long list of excuses; you know I'm waiting for you to confirm that you think I'm useless. waiting for you to tell me, to just stay home: "babe, you know, that you're no good on your own." think that I could stick around another week, keep the chains wrapped around my bare feet. think that I could stick around another week, ignore the kisses from foreign sunsets, as they call me. and you know my heart is looking for a reason to beat right out of my chest? and you know your mouth is looking for a reason to tell me to give it a rest. as they call me.

Old Dog 02:44
I'm an old dog, learning new tricks every day. how to fetch, how to come, how to go, and when to stay. and if you want to, I'll stay by your side, all night. and I'll never wanna leave. if you asked me to sit by the foot of your bed, well, you know, I would stay. it's really the only other option for the runts, for the mutts, and the strays. and if you want to, I'll stay by your side, all night. and I'll never wanna leave.

if I could, I'd cut off my hands so you could hold them forever, and I'll never let go when we're crossing the street. and if I could, I'd cut out my eyes and only see what you wanted, a world from your point of view. and I tried so hard to be what you wanted, even if it wasn't me. and I tried so hard to be someone you could be proud of, but you're never proud of me. if I could, I'd cut off my legs and sit by your side, and never walk away. and if I could, I'd cut out my tongue, and I'll never talk back. I wouldn't have much to say. and I tried so hard to be what you wanted, even if it wasn't me. and I tried so hard to be someone you could be proud of, but you're never proud of me. and I hope we make it back, to the coffee shop I loved, when I was just sixteen. and I hope to god we make it, 'cause I miss you, even if everything has changed. and I've tried so hard to be what you wanted, even if it wasn't me. and I've tries so hard to be someone proud of, but it's not me.

father, forgive me. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. 'cause I've been used, been abused, I haven't not been scared in so long. but I could use a little sympathy, a little ecstasy, and a little space to breathe. and I could use a little time, could use a starting line, oh, I think it's what I need. so, tell me what you want from me, even if it's nothing. 'cause I can't fix you - I learned long ago that all I do is break. and I could use a little sympathy, a little ecstasy, and a little space to breathe, and I could use a little time, could use a starting line, oh, I think it's what I need. 'cause I've had enough of selfish love, if you're not ready I'm moving on. and I'm done wasting time on lovers who won't be mine, 'cause the last one they had is long gone. and I could use a little sympathy, a little ecstasy, and a little space to breathe. and I could use a little time, could use a starting line, oh, I think it's what I need.

Wait 02:49
I have waited for so many things that never came. and so many things that left me behind them. and I have waited for the apple to fall far from the tree, like Adam and Eve, but here I am growing underneath your shade. but what difference does it make - when all I've got to do is wait? I am a serpent in the garden of eden, I've tried to be honest, don't mean to be decieving. let me shed this second skin, reveal what I've been growing into - I hope you like it. can't remember if I've changed. but what difference does it make - when all I've got to do is wait? and I am so hungry to be saved, but I hate the word hungry and the desperate sound it makes. hope they find me before it's doo damn late. but anyway, what difference does it make - when all I've got to do is wait? can't remember if I've changed.
