Half Past Fall
04:03

There's a faded wood grain pattern,
on the inside wall.
And you can tell by the leaves outside,
that it's half past fall.
and you can tell by the pantry,
that there aint been no food here,
not in a while.
I'm broke as hell
but I'm still standing tall.
And now that girl I love
is an hour away on 85.
but no she won't make that drive.
and she wont come back,
unless you let her.
and she won't come back,
you already know better.
and you can tell baby,
that we're in the south,
by the pines on either side
of my red brick house.
and you can tell
by the pantry that there
ain't been no food here,
not in a while.
whoa, it's half past fall.
And now that girl I love
is an hour away on 85.
but no she won't make that drive.
and she wont come back,
unless you let her.
and she won't come back,
you already know better.

there's a dual me
(there's two of me)
who wakes up in the cold
sweaty sheets.
the pharmaceutical cocktail king,
yeah you know thats me.
I'm living the perfect duality,
(i live both sides)
cuz my self destruction yeah,
is only three quarters complete.
but thats not what I had in mind.
no thats not what I had in mind.
and if you can see it,
then you know that the pain is real.
you fight til you own it,
until your body,
til your body is layin' still.
I'm leaving again baby
I'm headed out for the night.
but my body is stayin in
so i can fake it,
yeah i can fake it.
that its alright
(I can fake it all night) Yeah!
But that's not what I had in mind.
no that's not what I had in mind.
There's one that sees through you,
yeah they know that you're gone.
Their patience is wearing thin
and who knows for how long?
and if you can feel it
then you know that the pain is real,
yeah, you fight til you own it
til your body, til your body
is layin still.
ooh til your body,
til your body, is layin still.
ooh til your body,
til your body, is layin still.

Tell-Tale Signs
03:59

I should have seen this coming
wondering how this could have been.
got a little too caught up
in the moment
and that thought you couldn't bear.
if she thinks that you don't know
if she thinks that you don't care,
well she knows,
when she gets home
that you wont be there.
oh no you won't
i should've seen all the tell-tale signs.
with your hollow "I love you's"
and hurried up good-byes
it wasn't worth all that trouble
just for me.
baby was it worth
tellin all those lies?
if she thinks that you don't know
if she thinks that you don't care,
well she knows,
when she gets home
that you wont be there
oh no you won't!
oooh yeah!
oooh yeah!

Comin' Home Soon

well he's said and done
but still he lost the war.
he's bought and sold
that farmhouse twice before.
his golden age will quickly
turn to blue.
but he knows he'll be comin' home.
a lifetime spent
wiping sweat above his brow.
and he always walked the line
he tried to show me how.
and he always played the fool.
but now he knows,
yeah he knows he'll be comin home soon.
said and done
but still he lost the war.
he's bought and sold
that farmhouse twice before.
his golden age will quickly
turn to blue.
but he knows he'll be comin' home soon.
the familiar taste
of smoke escapes my throat
takes me back to a time
when we were close
now we don't know
which way to turn or go
should i stay here?
or should I follow you home?
whooooa!!!!!
whooooa!!!!!
no second chances
dont come and go,
second chances
here to lead us on
because we all know
that there's no placec like home
when we're crying out alone
saying "please just take me home
well we are said and done
but still we'll win the war.
you can buy and sell that farmhouse
all you want
this golden age may slowly
turn to blue.
but we know,
at least we know
we'll be comin' home soon.

there's nothing wrong with starting over
i have myself a time or two.
i know we're only getting older,
and there's no one around that can promise you
that its not that bad.
you tell me that it's over, yeah
but I'm not that bad,
I'm better when I'm sober,
but it's not that bad,
no things are looking better,
oh I'm not that bad,
but you're probably better off...
without me.
you're contemplating starting over
and i know that its not the first time
around for you
if life with me is what made you older,
then the lines on your face say
thats not true.
cuz I'm not that bad,
the way your looking at me oh yeah
says I'm not that bad,
you won't find a better junky, yeah
cuz I'm not that bad,
just tell me that you love me.
I'm not that bad.
but you're probably better off...
without me.
I'm trying to hold on.
I'm slowly nodding off.
please catch me when i fall
baby but please don't wake me up.
I'm trying to hold on.
I'm slowly nodding off.
please catch me when i fall
baby but please don't wake me up.
I'm trying to hold on.
I'm slowly nodding off.
please catch me when i fall
baby but please don't wake me up.
