Fire burning all around us we are hurting Children in the garden someone’s waiting someone’s waiting Rewrote all my letters i can’t find them who is looking Gamble All your savings its a sure bet he’s a sure bet I am everywhere now Someone’s waiting Someone’s waiting

Vile 02:59
I remember a time when we were friends The story has a beginning but it also ends Summer days and fighting to pretend You always seemed to think we'd begin again I'm not sure where this road will go But I know at the end of it there's home I passed you in the hall you wore a smile One that I would see once in a while Sitting around listening to Kurt Vile You'd make a joke about being the King of denial I'm not sure just where this road will go But I feel that we've grown cold I wonder where you are and where you've been Time's like a top you've got to let it spin Sitting on a rock I feel the wind When I see you I wonder how you were him

Iron John 02:44
I have a friend, he's big and tall really hairy He likes to take me for walks His house is in the woods and it is kinda scary I think I just saw a fox but my friend will watch me, he won’t leave me, he’s a big ol’ boy you don’t believe me, how could you, he gave me my favorite toy My friends name is John and he used to be in prison He shows me his old chains I cut my hand on the metal how could i miss it but i know that johns not to blame he takes me to his lake and cleans my hands now they’re all better, my eyes are getting redder and my hairs turning blonde we’re walking back to his house and i miss my parents I think i’ll go back home Im not the boy that left I am so much older But I wont be alone John is with me, he showed me, how life can be Let you hair grow its alright to, you know that you can be free

Scary Man 02:24
hey bear standing over there your shoulders are bear take my coat, I don’t need it now hey bear why do you care? I’ve done nothing but stare he looked at me, I fought him to the death But now I’m depressed My coat is a vest I miss my bear, he doesn’t care tho because he’s dead I am a scary men
5.
Big House 04:54
I live in this big house With plenty of rooms now Sometimes I get lost in one place It’s filled with these stories These books are my morphine I take a hit and just fade away So I don’t leave My house has everything I need But I can’t stay Somehow your ghost still finds a way Your eyes are like sapphire Our love is a vampire Sometimes I get lost in your gaze I live in a daydream Your touch is my morphine I’ll never let you get away So please don’t leave You are everything I need I watched her go I never knew I could feel so low Now I can’t sleep I hear her voice in every creak Her ghost goes unseen As long as I have my morphine
6.
Life Raft 04:28
Refrain: You think its funny and I kinda like that My mouth moves slowly, but i won't try to fight that Your dad looks hungry better go get an ice pack If we leave now we might both get a life raft now I'm Swimming with you had a fever at two there’s water in my shoes you call me hey dude I think it’s kinda rude but i don’t wanna miss you you heard a story me too im still swimming with you refrain I see your brown hair I think its unfair i can’t help it but stare your friends name is claire we’re sitting in chairs from the old town fair we’re an odd little pair I might just run over there After all I'm the one who tried to pass you the ball You dropped it and you went to the mall I wont look at it the same way again Misery loves company, my friend refrain
7.
Shells 02:58
Chorus: She sells her seashells on the beach, she sells them She sells her seashells to me She sells her seashells on the beach she sells them, she doesn’t sell them for free v1 her hands are covered in gold you can’t tell if she's on the boat she always takes what she thinks she's owed even if it means gobbling your soul chorus v2 i could’ve turned from a boy to man but that was gone with the wave of her hand she sized me up yeah she had a plan now I'm sitting here like an old peter pan chorus shouting SHE DONT LOVE ME NOW IM SLEEPING Chorus we had our time together yeah we had some fun nobody was looking no one checked for bugs her seashells shone bright like shine of the sun but now I'm taking off now I'm on the run

Fare 05:20
I thought you’d come clean, but maybe I expected too much I thought we’d be fine, but i probably messed things up You know everything, but you don’t talk a lot It’s just nice being next to you, but that’s all we got You told me those things, that i needed to know To understand your life, so that we might grow I think you saw it all, but you didn’t say Right when I could trust, you fell away I met you there at the old grey barn and we laughed a while and felt no harm But after a time we had to fade away that’s just how it goes i miss those days You couldn’t tell but I fell so far away When you had me we were where we should have been (repeat)

Bus 04:54
I’m sailing away across …the sky But You look so sad I’d like to say a quick goodbye There’s plenty of fun to be had Everything I thought that I once knew Is being picked up and thrown to the side My little buddy told me not to cry So i just scratched him and went outside I’m back after my big adventure And i’d like to come in There’s no one out there who compares To you my friend Now my friend is home, but i’m not so sure that home is where she wants to be she has the look on her face that she's wanted but its got nothing to do with me Let’s go get some food my pal OK that sounds great Now I’ve got to be on my way You’re leaving me to fate No that is not the way That my buddy used to treat me Well maybe we’ve just grown apart After all you’re nearly 16 I used to love you more than love could know I used to think about you all the time Now we’re just sitting here In silence and we’re biding our time Watch your back (Repeat Creepily) It’s time (More creepy) Coda is first verse
11.
Rust 03:16
I’m walking in a quiet place You're watching, so save me from that weight I thought it might go bad Listen here The end is close You have come so far I see your face grew old Your eyes are sad Your beard grew long I am not afraid We walk alone together now You look at me I smell God We might have a chance We are where we were When it all began Quiet, i see your trembling hands The trees look different now Your father told you not to wait
