Another cup of coffee, jack me up, I’m your Frankenstein Dropped another call to a long, lost valentine And everybody’s talkin’ ‘bout love / everyone except us… Those hard left turns / never felt so right Those hard left turns / like a bump in the middle of the night Dropped another tranny on the California state line Call it ambition but we made it to the gig on time And everybody’s doing their drugs / everyone except us… Those hard left turns / never felt so right Those hard left turns / like a bump in the middle of the night And everybody’s watching TV / waiting on world war three… Those hard left turns / never felt so right Those hard left turns / like a bump in the middle of the night Those hard left turns / never felt so right Those hard left turns / keep me up in the middle of the night

You would have loved a day like today / the smell of fall and the beautiful way The leaves drop… they find their own spot / you would have fell for the sun on your lap At the park where we use to laugh / it was a heartbreak… not to see your face Sometimes, the best I can do / is just cry, cry, cry, cry it all out So I just cry, cry, cry, cry it all out / until I turn around Oh what I’d give for an hour with you / Hold you so close I would break you in two And I would kiss you… just give to you You would tell me to never look back / Seek joy and forgive the past And to look forward… but it so hurts Sometimes, the best I can do / is just cry, cry, cry, cry it all out So I just cry, cry, cry, cry it all out / until I turn around There’s nothing like a clean burn after a long rain, through the joy and pain There’s nothing like a freefall down memory lane Sometimes, the best I can do / is just cry, cry, cry, cry it all out So I just cry, cry, cry, cry it all out / until I turn around You would have loved a day like today…

Well Alright 03:47
Oh you are a stubborn girl wrapped up in a corporate world and I'm an indie child, with a streak of wild They gave us looks and they had their doubts we were set to figure it out I said, "we're different songs" you said, "won't it be fun?!" Well Alright Baby came right on time there was no changing our minds we didn't sleep for months but we did just fine Oh I am a stubborn girl wrapped up in a parent world and you're an indie mom and your love is strong Well Alright You watch my hair turn gray I kiss your wrinkled face you hold my hand and say I love you more and more and more and more each day Well Alright the silence is so loud tonight there's an ocean on the kitchen tile It won't be long until the storm is gone Well Alright

Five more hours on the interstate I would call but it’s so late Send my love in a postcard One hundred miles left to go Another sip of coffee And it’s ice cold Send my love with a check home And I’d be dreaming of you If I could get some sleep The distance is killing me It’s breaking my heart Breaking my soul Breaking my days of rock n roll And it’s hard to love you on the telephone Another night in a small dive The bartender thinks I’m so high Like he’s never seen somebody cry Don’t think I would give my hands to The first person to bring me to you What is wrong with my eyes? And everybody needs someone and everybody needs someone and everybody needs someone hey I wanna go home

Friendville 04:18
Oooh, this is new, the way that it moves / Oh, I should go, but chances are… I won’t You wear the thorns of a crown / until you just wore them down I’m gonna make this easy for you / I’m gonna make this easy for you I’m gonna take it easy with you And faith, showed up late, yet unfolded fine / and love, showed up drunk, perfectly on time I wore these chains all around / until I just wore them down I’m gonna make this easy for you / I’m gonna make this easy for you I’m gonna take it easy with you And I don’t wanna, I don’t, I don’t wanna, fade away And I don’t wanna, I don’t, I don’t wanna, miss your face And I don’t wanna, I don’t, I don’t wanna, walk the ledge But I don’t wanna, I don’t, I don’t wanna, have to beg I’m gonna make this easy for you / I’m gonna make this easy for you I’m gonna take it easy with you

Just phone call away / Just a plane ride away I’ll be running, I’ll be running, I’ll be running to you And the further you go / the more that I know I’ll be waiting; I’ll be waiting, I’ll be waiting on you Don’t give up / don’t break down on the avenue Don’t give up / it’s simple and its true The sun, sky and the moon… Just an ocean away / and the wind starts to change So raise your hand to the tide that is pulling in you And the further I roam / the more that I know I’ll be catching a wave and crushing on you Don’t give up / don’t break down on the avenue Don’t give up / it’s simple and it’s true The sun, sky and the moon… I miss you so much, I’m a little sideways / I’m broken like the highway Come on lover, just meet me half way / All I seem to love is a world away
7.
We feel free but we never go home / there’s a high end buzz on a never-ending road The sun is warm and she’s kissing my throat / words through lines over telephone poles A dirty smile from a trucker in red / St. Christopher around my neck… Everywhere I go / everywhere I go / I’m home Everywhere I go / everywhere I go / I’m home / I’m home All we need is a Westerburg song / windows down with the radio on The sun is warm and she’s kissing my hand / I’m in love with a traveling band A dirty smile from a trucker in red / St. Christopher around my neck… Everywhere I go / everywhere I go / I’m home Everywhere I go / everywhere I go / I’m home / I’m home

I am just a song in the universe / gone through the stratosphere I’m nearly here on the earth I am just a string full of synergy / god force energy / Burning, it’s my turn Didn’t take so long, to figure it out / I found a home and I found my way out A field of stars and I walk with the sun I am just a song in the universe / gone through the stratosphere I’m nearly here on the earth I am just a string full of synergy / god force energy / Burning, cause it’s my turn And I was higher than a quasar sun / I fell deep to the earth with a plunge I feel my flesh / and my vibration is one I am just a song in the universe / gone through the stratosphere I’m nearly here on the earth I am just a string full of synergy / god force energy / Burning, cause it’s my turn I’m bosonic with intention / I’m quantum in a different dimension I’m consistent with no resistance / subatomic in another existence
9.
Wake up and sing / Sit next to me You can tell me things / the secrets you keep Measure the time / the time that you died Can you describe / How you came back alive You’re like a puppet on a string / you broke the color tv Wrapped your car around a tree / now you’re breaking up with dreams You’re soaked and you’re sad / When you talk about the past The stupid things he said / the days you never get back You’re like a puppet on a string / you broke the color TV Wrapped your car around a tree / now you’re breaking up with dreams And I let you cry / A kids’ broken pride A gap that’s so wide / you couldn’t cross if you tried Fall apart hit your knees / It’s like you fell to be free Breaks my heart just to see / you breaking up with dreams

It's Enough 02:53
You’re like a Jesus freak – inside of me These new eyes are seeking out the joy Like an angel’s wing – protecting me These new arms are holding up the joy And if the state ever lets us be free… Please, please, please… don’t forget to marry me I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love I’m in love, I’m in love, it’s enough I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love I’m in love, I’m in love, it’s enough You’re like an awesome song – coming on I’m hearing tunes I never heard before You’re a holiday, a brand new page You’re in a book that I never read before And everybody wants to feel release And everybody wants to be this free And if the state ever lets us be free… Please, please, please… don’t forget to marry me I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love I’m in love, I’m in love, it’s enough I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love I’m in love, I’m in love, it’s enough
