Wreck

I've been taken back before
but I never waited around too long
to try and settle up or score
everything that's going wrong
I hiked that trail before
and it beat my brain to hell
I don't think it came back
oh well, I escaped a wreck
Escape the wreck
Sometimes the path directs
that the key to happiness
comes through fellowship with others
but then the brain confides
and sometimes at our own demise
that we get scared, give up, and run for cover
saying things like we'll never go back
oh well, I escaped a wreck
There's nothing left to satisfy
if we don't know how to stand up
and compromise
Doing things we've done before
that never worked and never would
If we get it wrong once more
we're gonna dust right off
even if we thought that we couldn't
I've been taken back before
but I never waited around too long
to try and settle up or score
everything that's going wrong
I hiked that trail before
and it beat my brain to hell
I don't think it came back
oh well, I escaped a wreck
Escape the wreck

Oklahoma Snow

Little birdy, why do you fly
into the tree, into the tree?
Little birdy, tell me, how is it you die
underneath the leaves, underneath the leaves?
When I was a yougun,
I could not be shackled down
the irony was all the detours
only took me 'round and 'round
I heard it might be lonely
down there in the hometown
on the map so far from me,
hey, life is good from how it sounds
And, I caught an old north wind
down in Austin
it was a double shot reality
Hey, it might be cold in Colorado
or wherever it is you decide to go
As for me, I'm caught neck deep
in a heap of something else
because Oklahoma got all the snow
Little spider, why build your web
into the trees, into the trees?
Little spider, why crawl around down there
to bite me on the legs underneath the leaves,
underneath the leaves?
Well, I took a step outside tonight
to catch my breath from the dark
I tried to recollect my head after
I read all your remarks
I wanna go down to the river
but the water is too low
I bought a Chevrolet instead
and now I carry all the load
that's when I caught an old
north wind down in Austin
it was a double shot of reality.
Hey, it might be cold in Colorado
or wherever it is you decide to go
As for me, I'm caught neck deep
in a heap of something else
because Oklahoma got all the snow

Tell me did you see
where the old world broke
and all came down like
a flash of a stroke
I just heard this sound
but I don't know why
I am crying
And there are parts
on the map of the unknown
and they're tied to
the things we're never showing
and if the old rooster started crowing
would I make it
or would I fake it
I watched the blind lines of fate
pull you back every time
it's neither fair nor required
to separate from the grime
I just heard this sound
why am I crying
I watched you rise from disaster
then call yourself master
I am lucky if it goes that way for me
if the living conspires
to crank up the fires
would I make it
or would I fake it
It all depends on the angle
for what makes your angel
I've seen them fly up and fall down
just heard this sound
started crying
I heard about a forgivness
that wound up a business
in nearly every single way
hey, if the anchor goes down
to save me from ground
would I make it
or would I fake it

Being Alone
05:00

Lately I don't know who I am
I don't wanna meet her new beau
or shake his hand
She's got me so confused
always wanting to talk but
I'm happy to do it y'all like
a dog going for a walk
She could do just one favor for me
I promise it'll be the only thing
just go ahead now and
cut me from the leash
I promise to go away
I will go away
And I won't come back
I'll keeping asking myself one question
and it goes something like this:
If I like being alone then why do I still miss her? x3
If I like being alone, alone then why do I care?
Why do I go back?
And, I'll ask myself that question
until the day I die
The man in the mirror
he don't look the same to me
his back his broke his legs are torn
and he is afraid to see
I feel like lately he's not growing anywhere
every day that goes by is just
another fucking day he finds it hard to care
She could do just one favor for me
I promise it'll be the only thing
just go ahead now and
cut me from the leash
I promise to go away
I will go away
And I won't come back
I'll keeping asking myself one question
and it goes something like this:
If I like being alone then why do I still miss her? x3
If I like being alone, alone then why do I care?
Why do I go back?

You never know how much I love you
You never know how much I care
You put your arms around me, yeah
I get a fever that I can't bear
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Lord, fever all through the night
The sun lights up the day time
Moon lights up the day
I light up when you call me name
and I only wanna treat you right
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Lord, fever all through the night
Everybody's got a fever, yes
it's something we well know
Fever ain't a new thing
It happened a long time ago
Think about when Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet felt the same
He put a arm around her and said
"Julie, baby, you are my flame"
You give me fever when you kisseth
Fever in your flaming youth
Fever I'm on fire
I feel a little bulletproof
Now that you've heard my story
and all the good points I have made
love was created to give you fever
in fahrenheit or centigrade
Fever when you kiss them
Fever and you live and you learn
Fever until you sizzle, yeah
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
Lovely way to burn
