Tammy was one of the sweetest girls I knew.
When she walked past guys, they'd open their mouths to woo.
She was the kind of girl to look both ways down a one-way street.
Could she have been yours knowing who you are?
How could that be when you're found behind bars?
You aren't the kind of guy to look through me as a means to get by.
Let it all go, let in a sigh,
For your head is about to rain.
And don't say goodbye, because the pain, I know, will only make you cry.
Tammy was one of the sweetest girls I knew.
When she walked past guys, they'd open their mouths to woo.

Bring Me Back
02:49

My heart is heavy. Though I can hardly feel a thing, dear. Feet stomp unforgiving ground now, while my head hangs low, low, low.
And I cannot speak to you, dear. Not tonight, I'm not wasted enough; you've got somebody new to love. And I continue to breathe your name, and all I get, all I get, all I get is my own pain, pain, my own pain.
Now you've got new shoes, and you're here to stay for a little while. In my dreams, my dreams, they bring me back, bring me back, bring me back to someone like you, you, someone like you, dear.
And you don't really like me anymore. I'll just self-destruct, dear, say, "I fucked up, I fucked up, I fucked up".
And all the people in this world, they wouldn't care, dear, about you and me. How we'd be, how we'd be, how we'd be.
How does it feel, dear, to know that I'm still real, dear? Moving forward in a circle that keeps me going round and round and round, back to you, back to you, you.

I have found what you were looking for,
looking for me to find the thing
to bring me ease from your death.
Here is where you laughed, and
there is where we talked, and
how you felt the days drag by,
and when you hurt, I didn't realize
that existential cup you held
made it all worthless lies.
Let's escape this place,
run into the woods
to find the ones we've lost.
In a foreign land where I've never been,
and you turned into a goat,
then they sent your body over, over on a boat.
Fly over the sea to where you're meant to be,
let them cry over your crisps,
blowing your dust under the ground.
Let them see, was this, was this their fault, Pete. Won't you let them see, was this their fault, was this their fault, Pete?

Poor Jenny Paluto
Her son was 17
When one night in cold Colorado
He drank his life away
Poor Jenny Paluto
She reported the news for all
Till she got a phone call,
And she cannot talk at all
Poor Jenny Paluto
No one put a pity on her
For she slept around
With every guy in town
Poor Jenny Paluto
How did you get this far?
Would you call it God or simply fate?
Are you going to die a loner?
Poor Jenny Paluto
Always knew what to do,
Poor Jenny Paluto
Always knew what to do.
Mmm.
Poor Jenny Paluto
Always knew what to do.

Nick Alone

Nick was sick and I was being a prick,
but he taught me that someday the clock will quit its tick.
What could kill a thing like you?
Nick, your heart was filled with life, it was filled so full.
So many got close, and so many got hurt.
We never always knew what to do.
Though we never spoke, though your time has come,
I still made the joke, and I am still the one broke.
I fell in love with an ex,
And you were always there
Sitting on my lap, chewing dog toys,
representing a past that wasn't fair.
Did you die for me too?
Is there something to be learned?
We'll never understand a thing at all,
but the "better" place has called for you.
You were just 19 and felt grace.
Now I am 20, and I wonder how much longer
it'll be till we meet face to face.
Nick, why were you so sick?
And Nick, why was I being a prick?

Communion Names
04:15
|
|

I stepped outside
I drudged through the grass
I smelled all its fears
Approaching all its tears
And there was the wind
A changing stream
Spider webs were glistening
Spider webs were glistening
And for a second I could love
And for a second I could love
As the dog pranced on
As the song played on
I was deaf to all that was said about the dreams of heaven
I was deaf to all that was said about the dreams of heaven
You watched over David, Mary, Joseph, Jonah, Elijah, and Thomas, Ezekial, and Daniel, Moses, Eve, and John, Mark, Luke, Matthew, and James, Aaron, Barbara, Elizabeth, and Lydia, Deborah, Abigail, and Saul.
To have so much love
Too much love, is it?
Is it still enough
To continue
To move forward
When will it
Towards infinity
To never end
Was what You
To want so
Too much to know
Honor a face
To never know now
To never know now
To embrace today
Forever
with Your love
And communion's wherever you want to be
Whether you are a squirrel in a tree
Or just someone like me
Communion is wherever you want to be

Grandfather's Tie
02:13

In my grandfather's tie
I didn't want to say goodbye
And we didn't know what was right
But we felt what was right from the start
Watching them on the stage
People's hearts are all engaged
And I didn't know what to do
But then I thought of you
In this world he produced her
And I just don't know yet
How to completely
Think for myself yet
In my grandfather's tie
I didn't want to say goodbye
And we didn't know what was right
But we felt what was right from the start

Coffee Stains

Coffee stains your dress like the blood
That came through my grandfather's chest
May, I met you on a Thursday
You were named after the Playboy bunny
Miss May 1990
I picked up a towel to wash it off,
But you burned so band and began to notice
Piercing through my shell of a body
I tried to save the remaining coffee
Let daddy call you what he will
We all know his issues
Let daddy call you what he will
We all know he's been suspicous
Forget and forgive what he did
Forget and forgive what he did
Forget and forgive what he did
Forget and forgive what he said
Forget and forgive what he did
Forget and forgive what he said
