I am made of mostly water I'm amazed that I can stand a fugitive inside the body that I have counting down the days until I cave in With each planetary turn I get closer the earth and disappearing into dirt from which I came as I extend my temporary stay We were rich with nothing in our arms With empty hands we kept each other warm We've got business in our bloodlines want to make the family proud should i wake to see my final morning sun would they sing my praises loud? Cuz I'm no hostage to the contracts We sign our names before we're born I'd tear them up, I'd give away my worldly things until their strings dont tie me down anymore We were rich with nothing in our arms With empty hands we kept each other warm We were rich with nothing in our arms With empty hands we kept each other warm

Your head hangs heavy in your calloused hands from all the words you'd like to say but feel you can't and I'm reaching out to try and carry half the weight day to day to remind you- that you're not alone. no day to day to remind you That I'm home for your restless heart should it decide to stay but its so busy dreaming of all the places it could be and I know all I want and I want is you but you were never right no You weren't ever right for me Oh no, you weren't ever right for me I will not be your better half I won't be that girl that you bring home on your arm I won't be the picture in your wallet you bring along day to day to remind you that you're not alone, no day to day to remind you That I'm home for your restless heart should it decide to stay but its so busy dreaming of all the places it could be and I know all I want and I want is you but you were never right no You weren't ever right for me Oh no, you weren't ever right for me You weren't ever right for me You weren't ever right for me

I Am A Train 03:37
Blowin smoke up at the stars signal distress to those who wonder where you are and still you'll sit alone, you'll rub your hands always breaking your back wondering how they knew somethings wrong but wouldn't ask yeah they knew somethings wrong but wouldn't ask I am a train tonight I hold my ground while I run down the line Nothing in my way nothing makes me want to stay I am a train I am a train You'll beg don't say I told you so That you knew all along how this story unfolds and they'll point and laugh at their crippled case you'll curse their names wondering how they saw all the signs but no one came Yeah they saw all the signs but no one came I am a train tonight I hold my ground while I run down the line Nothing in my way nothing makes me want to stay I am a train I am a train No I can't say I didn't try I lost myself with my ropes untied with no chains and nothing here to remind me why it took so long to say goodbye I am a train tonight I hold my ground while I run down the line Nothing in my way nothing makes me want to stay I am a train I am a train

Square One 02:23
I never won anything in my whole life So why should it begin with you? You've got your head on straight while I'm timidly trying to make sense of what he left inside my heart square one, such an unfair way to start With one bottle of wine to yourself you'll keep that candle lit in case I come around My love its bittersweet and i still wonder why me When you keep me from falling all apart Square one such a unfair way to start Oh its such a shame I'm not myself I'd hold you but I'm someone else lost in a dream my mind can't reach oh my body is singing but I'm sound asleep and you're waiting up for me but square one just won't let believe I never won anything in my whole life so why should it begin with you?

I just woke up and its raining like my insides since the day you went away and all you left was an indent in the carpet where you stayed its not called love when you move like a businessman The way your hands touch my skin like I suffer a case of the human condition supply and demand its a bad taste you can't drink away can we be professional in our exchange? lets not get caught up get caught up dont want to get so carried away its not what it is its what it is not Been losing count of the things I missed out While I've picked up what you broke Been blaming myself for not being stronger not good enough to say no its a bad taste you can't drink away can we be professional in our exchange? lets not get caught up get caught up dont want to get so carried away its not what it is its what it is not I am most myself in times of weakness You give an inch I make a mile I am most myself in times of weakness hiding in your shadows I'm waiting for a dare to wake up its a bad taste you can't drink away can we be professional in our exchange? lets not get caught up get caught up dont want to get so carried away its not what it is its what it is not I am most myself in times of weakness I am most myself in times of weakness I am most myself in times of weakness hiding in your shadows I'm waiting for a dare to wake up

Tonight I fly solo wearing my best dress like a funeral suit Gonna paint the whole town black and blue I wish you thought I looked good I wish this act was more convincing that I didn't dress up to feel so damn let down I wish that you were impressed that I didn't try every trick i know wish you'd change your mind but you won't Dangerously sober I laugh louder when you're near I do whatever it takes to not feel like a joke you found my weakness love, it only happens on the weekends I've got four nights to reconstruct I wish you thought I looked good I wish this act was more convincing that I didn't dress up to feel so damn let down I wish that you were impressed that I didn't try every trick i know wish you'd change your mind but you won't even I surprise myself sometimes I put on a show for something less than love Who are you to try and get under my skin? who let you in? I wish you thought I looked good I wish this act was more convincing that I didn't dress up to feel so damn let down I wish that you were impressed that I didn't try every trick i know wish you'd change your mind wish you'd change your mind wish you'd change your mind but you won't
