LYRICS:
Truly
Truly was the best there was
Hair pulled back and a fist to throw
She seemed to fit where no one does
The memories grow sweeter as the days escape my grasp
I will try try to plan a future with this woman in my path
Don’t try to rearrange it
Things that you take with you
You can never leave behind
Don’t try to separate us
Navigate the future with this truly on my mind
Baby won’t you come back home
It’s cold outside and if the wind should blow
Your name stays frozen to my tongue
The pages stick together when you leave me here alone
And I will try to find a future with the only one I know
Don’t try to rearrange it
Things that you take with you
You can never leave behind
Don’t try to separate us
Navigate the future with this truly on my mind
Truly on my mind
Gravity
I climbed to the roof to see
If I could sit in
The atmosphere laughed at me
I lied and said I could win
Ambition unfloated me
It send virgins to sin
Condition remoted me
Lies seeped from my grin
I couldn’t float from mouth to mouth
I hate the language
Gravity rules some people out
There’s too much damage
I fell from the roof at speeds I’ve never achieved
The ground had it’s eye on me
Just feet from received
I couldn’t float from mouth to mouth
I hate the language
Gravity rules some people out
There’s too much damage
Roses
Lately anything is possible
But chance is getting on my nerves
And though you’re almost always beautiful
I’m not quite sure tonight is what I deserve
It’s alright if you stay here
It’s alright if you go
Never been so confused
It’s alright if you stay here
I’m cool with it if you go
I’ve never been so lost
I’m never going to be found and I know
Though I’m not prepared for everything
I had no problems with your thorns
Were past the point of fixing anything
Beneath your shoes the welcome mat is worn
It’s alright if you stay here
It’s alright if you go
Never been so confused
It’s alright if you stay here
I’m cool with it if you go
I’ve never been so lost
I’m never going to be found and I know
And it all comes down to you
And it all comes down to you
And it all comes down to you
It’s alright if you stay here
I’m cool with it if you go
Never been so confused
It’s alright if you stay here
I don’t want you to go
I’ve never been so lost
I’m never going to be found and I know
I don’t want you to go
I don’t want you to go
Retrograde – (Instrumental)
Fall From Grace
I did the math
Found out that sometimes people fail
When it’s your turn
I promise not to listen with my heart
These days
It’s times like this I wish you couldn’t talk
Now I hurt cause I don’t want to think that’s who you are now
Left stranded
Miles away from simple love and fear
With your eyes closed
You chose to throw punches in the dark
These days
It’s times like this I wish you couldn’t talk
And I hurt cause I don’t want to think that’s who you are now
No you won’t see it in their…
No you won’t see it in their eyes
No you won’t see it in their…
I did the math
And found out that sometimes people fail
When it’s your turn
I promise not to listen with my heart
