Lyrics

Wildewoman (The New Recording)

Her eyes are light and clear

And fearless like Chicago winds in the wintertime

And her hair is never quite in place

And the knees in her jeans have seen better days and she’s no beauty queen but you love her anyways

She’s a wildewoman

Oh she’s gonna find another way back home

It’s written in her blood, oh it’s written in her bones

Yeah, she’s ripping out the pages, she’s ripping out the pages in your book

Oh she’s gonna find another way back home

It’s written in her blood, oh it’s written in her bones

Yeah, she’ll only be bound, bound by the things she chooses

Her smile is sneaky like a fiery fox

It’s that look that tells you she’s up to no good at all

And she’ll say whatever’s on her mind

They’re unspeakable things and she’ll speak them in vain

And you can’t help but wish you had bolder things to say

She’s a wildewoman

Oh she’s gonna find another way back home

It’s written in our blood, oh it’s written in her bones

Yeah, she’s ripping out the pages, she’s ripping out the pages in your book

Oh she’s gonna find another way back home

It’s written in our blood, oh it’s written in our bones

Yeah, she’ll only be bound, be bound by the things she chooses

Oh we’re gonna find another way back home

It’s written in our blood, oh it’s written in our bones

Yeah we’re ripping out the pages, ripping out the pages in your book

Oh we’re gonna find another way back home

It’s written in our blood, oh it’s written in our bones

Yeah we’ll only be bound, be bound by the things we choose

Oh we’ll only be bound, be bound by the things we choose

Oh we’ll only be bound (only be bound)

By the things we choose

Turn it Around (The New Recording)

She fell comatose waiting for this thing to grow

She’s impatient ‘cause she wants it now and so it shows

She can’t be bothered by the ties that bind her

She’s united when it strangles everything it holds

She’s looking through the wrong end

She’s looking through the wrong end of the telescope

Turn it around, turn it around

She closed the door with the intention of not looking back

But missed her step because she didn’t have a steady track

She can’t be bothered by the mistakes she’s made

But she’s forgetting that’s what guides you to the rightful path

She’s looking through the wrong end

She’s looking through the wrong end of the telescope

Turn it around, turn it around

As suspected back it home it grew out of control

Well that can happen when you leave things to a little girl

So now she’s left without an option at hand

She better tend to it or she won’t have another chance

She’s looking through the wrong end

She’s looking through the wrong end of the telescope

Turn it around, turn it around

She’s looking through the wrong end

She’s looking through the wrong end of the telescope

Turn it around, turn it around

Go Home (feat. Marcus Mumford) (The New Recording)

I’m your dolly,

Stuffed with extra baggage

Lay me down to shut my eyes

Beaded gazes

Lead you nowhere anyways

Press on my heart, I will say

Press on my heart I will say

I am lonely

With a static smile

I think my stitching’s coming loose

I’m hard headed,

but completely soft inside

I’m all wound up and still

The only thing that I can say is

I don’t need you anyway

I don’t need you, go home

Go home

I don’t need you anyway

I don’t need you, go home

Go home

I’m your dolly,

Stuffed with extra baggage

Lay me down to shut my eyes

Beaded gazes

Lead you nowhere anyways

Press on my heart I will say

I don’t need you anyway

I don’t need you, go home

Go home

I don’t need you anyway

I don’t need you, go home

Go home

Hey, Doreen (The New Recording)

These buttons are in the wrong holes again

Let’s straighten them out

Let’s straighten this whole damn mess we’ve gotten ourselves in

This time didn’t go the way I was hoping

You’ve gotta get out, I’ve gotta get out

Keep checking the mirrors, call me as soon as you can

Oh yeah, Oh yeah

Oh yeah, can you keep it, can you keep it in?

Hey, Doreen we know what you’ve seen

It’s the way, the way it had to be

Hey Doreen, we know what you’ve seen

It’s the way, the way it had to be

(Cover your tracks you know you can’t take it back)

The sun’s coming up, did you make it in time?

If anyone asks you

You weren’t there I found the perfect alibi

A black dahlia blooms and then she dies

Lie after lie

Is what we do best and share in common, you and I

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh yeah, can you keep it, can you keep it in?

Hey Doreen, we know what you’ve seen

It’s the way, the way it had to be

All your plans, just a nickel in your hands

It’s the way, the way it had to be

(Cover your tracks you know you can’t take it back)

Hey, Doreen we know what you’ve seen

it’s the way, the way it had to be

(Cover your tracks you know you can’t take it back)

Can you keep it in?

Both of you can try to find a place to hide

You can try but they’ll find me

Both of you can try to find a place to hide

you can try, but they’ll find me

Both of you can try to find a place to hide

you can try, but they’ll find me

You can’t take it back

Hey Doreen, we know what you’ve seen

it’s the way, the way it had to be

All your plans, just a nickel in your hand

It’s the way, the way it had to be

(Cover your tracks you know you can’t take it back)

Hey Doreen, we know what you’ve seen

It’s the way, the way it had to be

(Cover your tracks you know you can’t take it back)

Tempest (feat. Devon Gilfillian) (The New Recording)

We are two ships passing

How long will this last

We haven’t had the time to work it out

Sitting in the backseat

Who knows where our paths meet

And you keep shouting we’ve gotta work it out

You gotta believe me when I say I know

(Gotta work it out, it out)

You aren’t riding on this wave alone

(Gotta work it out, it out)

Gotta believe me when I say I know

(Gotta work it out, it out)

I already know I know I know I know

Yell all that you want to

I’ll yell it right back to you

Back and forth until we’ve tired out

Temper into tempest

Washes off the madness

But we’re still left with figuring shit out

You gotta believe me when I say I know

(Gotta work it out, it out)

You aren’t riding on this wave alone

(Gotta work it out, it out)

Gotta believe me when I say I know

(Gotta work it out, it out)

I already know I know I know I know

The seeds of what you say all beg for reason

Plant them deep so we can disregard them

Just get out of your pretty little head

You’re just waking up to get back into bed

The seeds of what you say all beg for reason

Plant them deeply so we can release them

Been listening to every word you said

You’re just waking up to get back into bed

You know I’m riding on this wave alone

You aren’t riding on this wave alone

I already know I know I know I know

Gotta believe me when I say I know

Already know I know I know I know

Alright

Already know I know I know I know

Nothing Ordinary (The New Recording)

Little bird flying in the breeze

Flying above the trees

He’s crying

Because the wind is thick letting off a sour trick

From the smoky fumes of fire

And there is nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary

Nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary

Cattle fields spread across the landfills

Fills pockets full of cheap thrills, but who’s counting?

We’ve been milking it for its worth

How’s about a rebirth?

Plant a seed and watch it grow

And there is nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary

Nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary

You can’t paint another one

you can’t glue it back together

you can’t paint another one

you can’t glue it back together

you can’t glue it back together once it’s

gone

Man cannot run this place alone

But when nature intervenes, keep trying

New is in, out with all the old

Just watch us make the bed we’ll lie in

And there is nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary

Nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary

(Nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary, nothing ordinary)

Two of Us on the Run (The New Recording)

There are two of us on the run

Going so fast every doubt we had is coming undone

And falling behind with everything we left there

We held on for far too long

And now we

Pass so many people on the road

They could come along I wish they’d been told and

They may call it a shot in the dark

From what we know, it’s not unheard of

And we’ll one day tell our story of how

We made something of ourselves now

Our favorite parts are what we’ll keep

Ornamental parts of love and parts of memories

So everything else has room to grow

Cause in better light, everything changes

So we can one day tell our story of how

We made something of ourselves now

Oooh, ooh ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh

Oooh, ooh ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh

There’s no race there’s only a runner

Just keep one foot in front of the other

There’s no race there’s only a runner

Oh

One two three and even when you get tired just keep one foot in front of the other

There’s no race no ending in sight

No second too short no window too tight

So turn off the lights when you leave

‘Cause we got everything were gonna need

We’re on the run we’re on the run we’re on the run child

We gotta run we gotta run we gotta run child

One day tell our story of how

We made something of ourselves now

One day tell our story of how

We made something we made something of ourselves

Until We Get There (The New Recording)

What do you say?

Is this the time

for one more try

At a happy life

So, what do you say?

Is this unwise

To think my fears will not reprise

Woo hoo hoo

Ooh hoo hoo

Woo hoo hoo

Can’t be late

it’s a rising tide

like an hourglass

running out of time

So what do you say?

What will you decide?

it’s a win or lose on a rolling die

Woo hoo hoo

Ooh hoo hoo

Woo hoo hoo

Ooh hoo hoo

Woo hoo hoo

Gonna get out of the water

Gonna leave the storm

‘Cause everybody’s gotta get there somehow

And I won’t wait another day another day

Woo hoo hoo

Ooh hoo hoo

Woo hoo hoo

Ooh hoo hoo

Woo hoo hoo

Won’t know until we get there

You know I wanna get there

Won’t know until we get there

You know I wanna get there

Won’t know until we get there

You know I wanna get there

Won’t know until we get there

You know I wanna get there

Won’t know until we get there

You know I wanna get there

Don’t Just Sit There (The New Recording)

Don’t just sit there

Tell me what I wanna know

What I wanna know

Don’t just sit there

Tell me what I wanna know

What I wanna know

Did you find love?

Have you found love?

Did you find love again?

Did you find love?

Have you found love?

Did you find love again?

Don’t just sit there

Tell me what I wanna know

What I wanna know

Don’t just sit there

Tell me what I wanna know

What I wanna know

Did you find love?

Have you found love?

Did you find love again?

Did you find love?

Have you found love?

Did you find love again?

In my heart I know this

It’s true

Did you find love?

Have you found love again?

Did you find love?

Have you found love?

Did you find love again?

Tell me what I wanna know

What I wanna know

Monsters (The New Recording)

Ooh, ooh

I know I’m older

but there are still monsters in all of my closets

Sometimes I feed them and some they get bigger than others

Depends on the day

Sometimes I’ll sit on the edge of my bed

and I’ll wait just to see them rear their ugly heads

Sometimes I just cannot face them

Ooh, ooh

I know I’m taller, but there are still things that are out of my reach

One of my monsters, you ask him, he’ll tell you

he’s always reminding me

I’ll never get love just as much as I give it

my life will be hard for as long as I live it

You ask him he’ll tell you it all

Maybe if I sit and reason with them

and tell them they’ve got it all wrong

Maybe if I sit and reason with them

and tell them they’ve got it all wrong

Ooh, ooh

I should be wiser but all of these monsters I let them get under my skin

One of them has the most hideous face and he says that I look just like him

One of them, she’s so intelligent

She won’t acknowledge what I have to say

And she’ll tell you she knows it all

Housewarming (The New Recording)

I know there’ll be days we’ll say our sorries

There’ll be times we won’t accept apologies and endless nights in bed together

facing opposite directions

It’s not easy when your’e stubborn, even worse, so is your lover

I have found

I found in you

found a friend

found a love to call my own

a heart to call my home

and it is new and it takes time

to break it in to make it mine

but just don’t give me up and I wont let you down baby, I won’t let you down

I know the drill, the ups and downs of love

but through it all you take my hand and give your time

and time I’ve found is most precious of all

become well-versed in heart and mind and when I want you always take me

if you wanted, you could break me

Because I have found

I found in you

found a friend

found a love to call my own

a heart to call my home

and it is new and it takes time

to break it in to make it mine

but just don’t give me up and I wont let you down

And who would have thought?

who would have thought?

we’d be the ones to make this love

who would have thought?

this was all us, we made this all

Because I have found

I found in you

found a friend

found a love to call my own

a heart to call my home

and it is new and it takes time

to break it in

to make it mine but just don’t give me up and I wont let you down

Let me in I promise I won’t put you out

Just don’t give me up and I won’t let you down

How Loud Your Heart Gets (The New Recording)

Oh, our igloo house is bigger now oh oh

We’ve made each brick of ice like stone oh oh

It’s a fort that can’t be broken no oh

A place no one would ever find us oh oh

We were children now we’ve grown

oh

We were children now we’ve grown

oh

Nobody knows how loud your heart gets

‘Cause we’re a million miles away but I still hear you

and I’m going going going going to get you

I’ll tell you all my memories and you will tell me yours

the colors of my favorite trees before the winter’s war

The reasons you and me should talk about the great unknown

without the distance in between and all the obstacles we’ve known

The things we know we just don’t know

The things we know we don’t know

oh

The things we know we just don’t know

The things we know we don’t know

oh

Nobody knows how loud your heart gets

‘Cause we’re a million miles away but I still hear you

and I’m going going going going to get you

Yeah I’m going going going going to get you

ohhhh ohh ohh oh

Nobody knows how loud your heart gets

‘Cause we’re a million miles away but I still hear you

and I’m going going going going to get you

Yeah I’m going going going going to get you

Like a robber in the night, I’m going to get you

Nobody knows even with how loud his heart gets

Yeah I’m going going going going to get you

ohhhh ohh ohh oh

ohhhh

Genevieve (The New Recording)

Oh they had a field day

Oh they had a

Oh they had a field day

Oh they had a field day, didn’t they?

Oh they had a field day

Oh they had a

Oh they had a field day

Oh they had a field day, didn’t they?

Wouldn’t they?

And all you had to do was shut your mouth

Genevieve, Genevieve

Could it have been something you said?

We were only kids then

I have not forgotten what you did

It’s just as clear as if it were yesterday, yesterday

I haven’t rose above this

With what you did, it’s fair to hold a grudge

It’s now my turn to call you out Genevieve

And they will see

That all you had to do was shut your mouth

Genevieve, Genevieve

Could it have been something you said?

And you could say you didn’t know

But everybody knows

And you could say that no one told you

So be the one who tells it right

It’s nothing new what you put in is what you get

Don’t act surprised we all know that so don’t forget it

Makes no difference now it’s true

Darling I’m through with you

Genevieve, Genevieve

Could it have been something you said?

Genevieve, Genevieve

Could it have been something you said?

(something you said?)

something you said?

(something you said?)

something you said?

(something you said?)

something you said?

(something you said?)

Could it have been something you said?
