I found a letter this morning I wrote long ago
It was folded and tucked into an old envelope
In the back of a Bible that I haven’t touched in years
Now I’m holding these pages that you’ll never read
And it’s sad even now you could never concede
That your leaving your cheating was ever in your control
Well you got what you asked for you’re all by yourself
And I’ve still got your picture face down on the shelf
I remember the days when we laughed and we cried
Before the spoils of love left you rotten inside
Now the love that you lost is the one thing you’ll never find
Well they say every girl hits a quarter-life crisis
Decides what she wants and then changes her mind everyday
But for you there was a change in your heart too
I miss the way that you’d look at me just brown eyes to blue
Even after you wandered even after I knew
I still loved you, you’re the only thing I ever lived for
Now the poetic justice it’s more than I need
How you’re stuck in Columbus still making ends meet
And your best friends and boyfriends are using you up
Like a fountain of youth and there’s never enough
They’re all scared half to death to get old
Now you’re in the same ruts going down the same road
And the life that you missed is the one thing you’ll never know
Now I’m in California the one place you dreamed
You could start your new life, a life without me
And I’m setting my roots down in your promised land
That you wanted so bad it slipped right through your hands
And I feel like I’m normal again
I’m finding it easier to smile I don’t have to pretend
There’s a part of me that wants you to come
But there’s far too much damage that can’t be undone
And it’s hard to believe…now the rabbit has the gun

Divide The Knives

I know you’re just here to pack your things
Your half of the memories
But it’s good to see you anyway
A single suitcase and a list
I can’t believe it’s come to this
The photonegative of our first kiss
Now I miss you, oh how I miss you
I miss you, I already miss you
Gone is the girl who said the vows
I don’t even recognize you now
With your new haircut and your forced smile
So I’m not gonna fight you anymore
You got your way you won your war
I wish we could go back for just a little while
Now I see the distance in your eyes
I don't mind if we skip goodbyes
You’re already gone so let’s just get this done
So you take the forks I’ll take the spoons
If I have to choose
And we can divide the knives out one by one

I can stay let me know
Just tell me not to go
I’ll be here by your side
If you wanna lay low
I know there’s pain in your smile
Though you never let it show
Your happiness is at best
Easy come easy go
You hardly notice the string but your finger’s blue
And pretty soon that black balloon
Will shadow every part of you
You know you have to let it go, you know
You gotta LET IT GO…(x6)
Let it go let it fly and watch it climb now
Till all you’ll see is a dot up in the sky now
Just let it go set it free I think you’re gonna see
You’re not alone and the world is bigger than you think
Let it go…before you know
Everything will be alright, it’s alright
Followed by a rain cloud
Everywhere you go
I know you’d like to be numb
From your head to your toes
Can’t describe how it feels
But you’ll know when you know… oh when you let it go

So you think you got a big roar she said
As she threw all my stuff from the second floor
She called down have fun being king now
You got no one to bow to you anymore
And I don’t really see how it’d ever work out between you and me
We’re like two different leaves from the same damn tree
Even though there’s a part of heart that still beats for you
I think it’s better if we settle this here and now, win or lose
If it really is a fight that you want then you know my dear I’m right here
I already know I’m right and you’re wrong
So let it out let it out what you got to say
It’s high time we had a civil war anyway
I’ve had enough I’m not raising the white flag anymore, not today
So go and take your best shot try to hit home
I hope it makes you feel better when you’re all alone
I don’t remember seeing signs for the war zone…but I should’ve known
So you’re calling me an ice queen
You’re like a stone hot cold never in between
Tell me now what’s the fight about anyway
I can’t tell cuz you never mean what you say
I don’t really think that it could ever work out between me and you
We’re like two different feet in the same damn shoe
Even though there’s a part of my heart that just won’t let you go
I’m sick of finding myself on the same old road

Snowday
03:33
|

It’s too early and too dark to wake up
Next to my head tom petty’s singing ‘bout a break up
Sounds so much better with my eyes shut
And that’s how it’s gonna stay
I’m still half way caught up in a dream state
Trying to hold on but I think it’s too late
You can’t ever go back to the good dreams
They all seem to slip away
Snooze to silence the DJ
I think I might be an insider today
Just got one story to fabricate
And then I’m on my way
What ever happened to the good ol’days
When all we had to do was play around
And see how many snowballs we could make
Before sun went down
There’s been a change of plans…I’m gonna take a snowday
I don’t care if it’s 85 in LA
I'll just waive my hands and make snow angels in the sand
And no one will understand but that’s okay
We're gonna need a place we can hide out
We can build a fort from the cushions on the couch
Just to make sure that no one can find out
Our devious plans
And you know that wecan take our little fantasy
As far as the mind can see
Outside it’s sunshine and palm trees
It don’t matter to me
It’s funny no one seems to think it through
That when you grow up you can do
Whatever you want to
Let’s take it on back to the old days
When the only plan was to get up and go play
You know I think it’s time for a snowday

The Giant Hunts At Night
03:56

65° it’s a perfect night on Sunset
To meet some people I’ll soon forget
We’re all movie stars in our own heads
And the rest are just flies on the wall
It’s a rat race of pretty faces out to be seen
Half gold-diggers the other half they got magic beans
Everybody’s chasing tail instead of chasing dreams
And they wonder why they’re stalled
There’s so many long legs lost in LA
The city of silicone and better days
She’s a fantasy girl till she opens her mouth
And boredom trickles out
Can’t take no more, slip next door to the Argyle
Grab a scotch rocks and sip on it for a little while
Bartender pours one more says this one’s free
Compliments of the girl in the booth seat
Slow down, breathe out and focus on the prey
No need to think about what you’re gonna say
This is going down the old-fashioned way
Just make sure she’s the first to look away
You’re saying it all with what you don’t say
When you’re holding the goose with the golden eggs
Little white dress about thigh high
You can run but you can’t hide
Eyeshadow glowin in the low lights
That’s why the giant hunts at night
FEE FI FO FUM
That pretty little bow needs to come undone
FEE FI FO FUM
I hope you’re ready now cuz here I come
I say FEE FI FO FUM
I like the eyeliner overdone
I like way your lips part like a smoking gun
I like the smell of an Englishwoman
So here I come FEE FI FO FUM
And for tonight you’re the only one
Your first instinct will be to try to run
So go ahead now it’s half the fun

I always fall for the same girl, the fun and the faithless
i'm a sucker for pretty faces
I wasted half my life chasing
One-sided love affairs
Now I've come to expect it the let down, the leaving
The tide of passion receding
the forgotten phone calls and forgotten feelings
they’re just the first steps
…in the dissipation of a life shared
I regret…that once again I let myself care too much
for a girl so scared of love
that she wouldn’t let herself care enough
First time that I caught your smile you were standing there
With your blue eyes and your curly hair
Right away I saw red flags everywhere
But I didn’t care, no I didn’t care
Now it seems every time I look-up I’m getting introduced to
Another one of your hook-ups
I think I see a little too much of myself in their eyes
If you can’t love me dear
You know that there’s still time
To cut our losses here
Just promise you won’t
Lie to me
Don’t you lie to me
You know the distance in between
Is killing us it's killing me
And I might learn to let it all be
But don’t you lie to me
We should’ve both known hanging on was a mistake
Yeah we should've made a clean break
We could’ve gone our separate ways and avoided all of this
So tell me that you miss me but please don’t you fake
if you’re just doing it for my sake
You know that I can feel when something’s missing in your kiss
So if it’s love you fear
There’s nothing I can do
But let you go my dear
I know that you won’t

Barcelona
05:04
|

I’ve got a stack of empty postcards that I’ve yet to send
A handful of souvenirs from all the places that I’ve been
They’re all just sitting in a shallow drawer beside my bed
Waiting for you, just waiting for you
Beneath the decisions and visions
That never came true
They were ours to lose
And now I’m sitting here without you
Thinking ‘bout you on a Sunday afternoon
And I’m missing you
When I saw the pictures from your Barcelona trip last fall
There was this one where you were leaning up against the wall
And I couldn’t help notice how you looked so happy there
I wish I could take you back, I wish I could take you there
But how do you take the next step forward when you’re scared to fall
For a lover that thinks about you all the time and not at all
We could move on with life and it’s not like the world would end
But somehow we won’t, for some reason we don’t
And I just know
I don’t wanna be the first to let go
Yeah it’s all I know
So if my heart is yours to lose
And if your fate is yours to choose
Then it’s up to you now
And my heart keeps calling out…
People move on from people who wait
And the window closes and then it’s too late
If it’s meant to be it’ll be
You say
We’ve gotta find our Barcelona…just the two of us
A place the morning sunlight reaches in to wake us up
Where the days are as long or short as we decide they oughta be
Where can be free, yes we can be free
Free from the hurt that keeps our hearts all tangled up with doubt
And whatever the wind happens to blow our way we’ll figure it out
And all that I know each day is there’s no place I’d rather be
As long as you’re with me, I need you with me
